EXPOSITION BILL.
Mr.. Heaton moved TO reconsider the
vote by which the Senate on Tuesday
passed House bill to incorporate the
Virginia State Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Society, popularity known as the
Exposition bill. He did this because
Colonel Beverley desired to examine the
measure. He had read by the Clerk a
letter from Colonel Beverley asking that
the passage of the bill be delayed until
next week, when he will be able to come
TO Richmond Mr.. Heaton said he was
fayorably inclined to the bill and only
made the motion through Difference to
Colonel Beverley.
Messrs. Lovenstein and Wickham
both opposed the motion. The bill had
been agreed upon by the Executive Com
mittee of the Agricultural Society and
unless this course was taken the continu-
ance Of the society was doubtful.
The motion to reconsider was lost

this body.
Mr.. Stubs strenuously opposed the
motion 10 recommit.
Messrs. Wickham and Berry favored

crossed was reconsidered.

to the committee.
Mr.. Stubbs opposed this motion and
urged that the bill be amended on the
floor of the Senate if amendments were
desirable.
Mr.. Heaton and others favored Mr..

by the Senate. The objections to the

and its provisions are without limit.
