NICE POINT RAISED.
At few minutes after l o'clock Mr.:
Stubs called for the special orders. OF
which there were three OF four, ana oil
were passed by except the bill TO appro-
pirate 20 William and Mary College the
balance of the ten thousand dollars appro-
priated by the act of March s, 1888, which
was not paid TO said college by the Audi
tor Of Public Accounts came up. on mo-
ton 10 reconsider the vote by which 1T was
defeated.
Mesers Lovenstein and Mcdonald each
smoke few words in behalf Of this instltu-
ton. They agreed that when the bill was
passed in 1887 il was intended that the
college should receive the full $4,000 for
that wear. and such having been the under
standiag.they were compelled now to pay
the balance withheld by the Auditor.
The vote was reconstructed and the vote
on the passage of the bill resulted: Ayes,
20: noes. 9. SO,
The Chair (Air. Hurt) ruled that tho bill
was defeated, not having received the re-
ouired constitutional vote of twenty-one.
Mir. Stubs, who has made gallant fight
for this old school. was not yet ready to
surrender. Four of his associates. upon
whom be counted foT support, were not
present. bnt the Senator from Gloucester,
not at all dismayed. though somewhat dis
appointed and grieved, made another ap-
neal for this money TO which In his ]udG-
ment William and Mary is entitled, and IN so
doing he raised very nice point OF parlIa-
montary law. on which there appears to be
division among the legal lights OF the
state. He held that in thepresent Senate,
which has only thirty-nine members (the
vacancy created by the death of Mr. Easley
not having vet been flied, but writ of
election ordered) twentyis constitutional
majority The question to be considered,
MIR. Stubbs said, is not how many members
were elected to the Senate last November.
but how many there are no,n elected. the
death of Mr.. Easiey having been officially
promulgated and spread on the journal.
Mr.. Stubbs spoke at some length on this
subject, which he considered "a most I'M
Dortant one. and one on which Leading
lawyers had asked time to consider before
giving an opinion. If there was doubt the
college should be given the benefit of it.
Mr.. Woods thought the gentleman from
Gloucester took the wrong view OF the
point raised.
The Chair overruled the point and mo-
ton for an appeal from the DECISION OF the
Chair made in order that the question
might be further looked into was passed
by until this morning.
