THE FIRST BILL PASSED.
Nj Wilson asked unanimous consent to in
treduce, out of order, an act TO amend Section
1915 of the Political Code fixing the time for the
meeting of the Presidential Electors. He ex-
planned that it was case OF urgency, and said:
q Towards the latter end Of the last session of
the Legislature Congress passed an Act provid-
ing that the Presidential electors in each State
of the Union shall meet certain time and
place to be determined by the Legislatures OF
The various States. The attention of the Legis-
ture was not called to the matter, and this is the
first time we have had an opportunity to bring
it up. The time fixed by Congress is next Mon
day, and unless the Legislature passes a bill
to-day there will be no absolute provision for the
meeting of the Presidential Electors at Sacra
mento next Monday.
The bill reads as follows:
An Act entitled an Act to amend Section 1915

scented in Senate and Assembly. do enact as fol-
lows:
