Inthe House OF Delegates last evening
q regular saturnaliao OF fun was enjoyed for
about forty minutes, the Speaker being
to the hour at which the House was to re-
assemble. After the House came TO order
the General Appropriation bill was taken
up. and ordered TO its third reading.

ton the Speaker announced that he had

cnsed on his own request. I

4 Mel onanghey. in the chair also spoke
again on che same side OF the question.

\ too short o. limit for the biennial sessions
lof the Legislature. The House was called
TO order at 1855. II was s 20 when Mr..
Dennis ceased talking.
Mr.. Now horter held that the extraordi-
nary circumstance required by the con.
stitntion 10 justify an extension beyond
forty-flye days did not now exist. He said
the general appropriation bill could have
been passed by this time since the House
last reasss SMILED, and the Legislative ap-
preparation bill need not; occupy half an
hour. Mr. New hofter's remark Is occupied
thirteen minutes. ~ 's

n Mr.. Dean called attention 70 the several
occasions on which days had been wasted
.Iby the Legislature, the members never;
theless receiving their 81 each per dian.
4. The reconsideration Of this very question
], Tho considered an fnexcusable waste Of
time. He had not heard o valid argu.

nine minutes. i
]. Judge Raymond showed a disposition
Ito demand the previous question, but
Withdrew It TO allow Mr.. Powell 10. speak
