The fseadjusters Think They Have n Pein
About the Defeat or the judiciary Bill
| A Tbirseen-Circuit Bill Introduced-sian.
damms Bill Passed senate-Proecedings In
shc House Personal, &C.
|
| In the Senate yesterday morning, Mr..
Rawles, from the Committee on Roads,
reported fsvorably the following bill:
1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly,
That the stockholders OF the Richmond and
| Danyille Railroad Company, at any general
or special meeting, may from time to time
increase the capital stock OF said company,
and issue such stock upon such terms and
at snch price as may be detelmincd ''ror
| by the stockholders; and such new stock
shall be in all respects deemed to be and
treated rs capital stock, invested under the
provisions of the Sd section OF the charter
OF said company.
9. This act shall be in force from its pas
sage.
Mr.. Heaton raised the point that this bill
was irregularly reported. Itappeared from
statements made that q majority OF the
members Of the committee had signed o
paper agreeing TO report this bill, but that
the same was not done while the committee
was sitting. Further, il appeared that to
secure this legislation the Danville Rail-
road Company was willing to relinquish its
exemption from taxation TO the amount OF
1900 per annum.
The report was held to be irregular.
The bill remains with the committee.
THAT JUDICIARY BILL.
There was great but suppressed excite
ment in the Senate chamber all the morn
ing, it being reported that a serious over.
sight had been discovered in the matter OF
the defeat Of the judiciary bill.
From what was said IL seemed that the
vote was not taken "Shall the bill be read
third time 2"
The Journal shows that the amendments
proposed by the committee were agreed to,
aud that the next question put was " Shall
the bill pass ?"-which question was de-
cided in the negative, and q motion TO re-
consider rejected.
According TO the Constitution the bill
should have been put upon its third read
ing: that done, il should have been put
upon its passage.
As matter OF fact, the bill was read the
I'll ird time, because when the clerk COM
menced its reading, and q motion to sus-
pend same was made, n senator objected,
and the clerk proceeded TO the end.
II is held by some that il the bill had
passed and been approved by the Gov
ernor, this defect might have been serious,
but that as il is, it is dead dead beyond re-
viyal.
The Democrats must be exceedingly con-
fident in their position, as they could have
moved on Yesterday 10 communicate the
rejection OF the bill to the House. Had
they done so the bill would have been out
OF the hands Of the Senate entirely.
Mr.. Glasgow, who was paired of with
Mr.. Martin, has returned to the city, and
was in his seat yesterday by l O'Clock.
Mr.. Hale, however, was compelled TO
leave the city on court business yesterday
evening. Ii is believed that he is paired OIL
on this question, and upon all others.
| The vote on the passage OF the Judiciary
bin was-ayes, II; noes, 90. Mr.. Riddle
| berger voted "No" to move TO reconsider.
| The real strength was-aycs, IS; noes, l9-
absent, Mr.. Lybrook. MeSsrs. Martin and
Glasgow were paired of.
