to Mr.. Bennett and did not notice what

informed him that II had already
been reconsidered. The motion
to indefinitely postpone was then de
tsated, and ALEC Mr.. Adams motion TO
take the bill from the table, Mr. SAulsbury
alone voting for the latter motion.

dition to the previous compli
cations, motion to take the
bill fire. the table has been deliberately
voted down, the only member voting fol
IL being bitter opponent to the messur,
who will not move for reconsideration
Of this act. In disposing Of the question

, that the entire proceedings Of last FRIDAY
morning were out Of order, as the bill
oould not hsve been properly considefe,
q when It was without suspending rule 20
prescribing the order Of business, whicl
O could not have been done except by
4 two thirds vote.
