the General Assembly, and stating In said
petition that there are measures Of general
interest 10 Virginia In which legislation is
necessary; and whereas the tax bill, ap-
preparation bill, and reapportionment bill
are three Of the measures which may be
deemed OF general interest; and whereas
we deem it inexpedicnt 20 have an extra
session, but the same object can be- accom-
plished by an extension OF this session for
ten days, TO pass such laws rs NAV be- OF
general interest; therefore
Resolved by The House OF Delegates (the
Senate concurring), That the joint resou-
ton adopted by this General Assembly
agreeing TO an adjournment sine die at 10
o'clock +. VI. on March 9Th DC. and the
same Is hereby, repealed.
.. That this session be extended for the
period OF eleven DAYS.
In support OF his substitute Mr.. Stubbs
said Thi. substitute j. not offered for
buncombe; il il offered in good faith. and
offered, too. because II IL perfectly certain
II an extension oi this session l. voted
down then the Governor will call an extra
session. Already petition l. In circulation
addressed to the Governor, signed by very
manymembcrs oftbe Readjuster party, to call
iiu tAtIu r'>>lVU. SNilll f'lt~ou ioi tut
call that certain measures Of q general inter-
est should be passed; and II that reason Is
good for IN extra session IL IL good for an
extension OF the session. Extension OF
the session will cost Virginia a triflng
amount, while an extra session wllcost more
than S3j,000, and then, too, no limitation
OF time. Now, while am in favor Of Civ
ing ten days 10 pass the assessment BILL"
appropriation bil,' and even the "reap-
portionment bill" yet am not willing by
my vote 10 give IN opportunity to the Re-
adjusters to pass revolutionary measures.
which, II passed, would be- d blot upon the
legislation of Virginia. Who H. 10 blame
for the non-passagc OF the assessment
bill" and rcapportionmcnt bill" am not
here now TO discuss, except 10 say that the
members on this side OF the chamber have
moved 10 take mp the ." assessment bill :"
and pass il. and the majority Of this House
voted against IL: but | do mean To charge
the Finance Committee OF this House in
failing up 10 this time TO report an
" appropriation bill" after y session Of
ninety days. and the majority OF this COM
mittec are Reidiusters, and the Reid
justcrs. or some of them. are now asking
the Governor 10 call IN extra session.
Where is the appropriation bill"f IL Is
not on the calendar, and now RcadjuSterS
are asking, "Goyernor, aid us in covering
up our negligence, and give ILL., an oppol trl-
nity by calling an extra session 10 pass bills
we ought 10 have passed"

Mr.. Stubb~: 4 few nights ago | did
speak against time TO defeat the passage o
the bill 10 provide new charter for th'
city Of Portsmouth because the delegate
said il was ruinou- 10 the city, and the ma
/ jority Of this chamber was making party
/ fight OF il, and would have stood on thi'
| floor until daybrcak 10 have defeated th'
| bill; and. further, the sequel shows ! wa
| Unsuitable. for while was speaking com
promise was agreed upon. and the bil
passed as compromised, satisfactory 10 th'
delegate from Portsmouth.
Extend this session for ten days, and vii
speak for this side OF the chamber that they
will aid the majority in considering ihC
assessment bill and appropriation bill, a.
the Rcadjuster- think they are important.
In conclusion. am opposed To an eXten-
sion OF the session or an extra session, bui
Of the TWO evils | will vote for an eNten-
sion, and thus give no excuse TO the ma
jority 10 ask for M extra session Mt the
cost 10 this State Oi $4,000. ! hope The
substitute will be- adopted.
