HrrKRoPHrNy.-In order that we might
state correctly the question which had
been raised in the Virginia Senate as TO a
constitutional majority We on Wednesday
took mp the Dispatch and read the state
ment contained in the report Of the Sem
ate proceedings. Then We sat down and
wrote of quorum. However. the argu-
ment is the same in the two cases. the
word elected" being the word upon
which the question turned.
The question In tho national House of
Representatives was as 10 constitutional
quorum; in Virginia as TO constitutional
majority. But in both bodies constitu-
tionsi majority and a constitutional quo
rum ere the same.

All o'clock the special order for the day
was announced. IL was the bill introduced
by Mr.. Bolen ITO give additional aid to
soldiers and sailors manned IN the late
war;
Mr.. Bolen spoke in earnest advocacy of
the bill, and he was ably sustained by Mr..
Gibson, whose remarks were pointed and
direct. He declared that the Goddess of
Liberty had become the wet-nurse of
Africa, and that Virginia soldiers
had redeemed their State from q
that we were worthy sons of sires who had
drawn the Declaration of Independence,
the Bill of Rights, aud men who had fought
at Point Pleasant, New Orleans, Lundy's
Lane, Chapultepec, Meiino dc Rev. In
closing, Mr.. Gibson said he could not see
how any Virginian could vote against the
bill.
MIR. Chambers. an ex-Federal soldier,
came forward, and in eloquent words adj
vocated the bill. He wished the celestial
fire could touch his brains when he opened
his mouth IN tones or praise Tor Virginia
soldiers.
Mr.. Chambers made one of the happIest
speeches heard in the House for many SEES
sions. He painted the picture of battles
when he fought Confederate batteries, and
great applause greeted him.
Mr.. Jones, OF Brunswick, Republican.
asked Mr.. Chambers on what side he fought.
81 was a captain in the Federal army"
replied Mr.. Chambers. II fought for what
/ believed right. fought as Democrat.
/ fight now as one, and Iwould fight better
If knew how for the passage of this bill"
The greatest applause:was given this decla-
ratien.
MIR. Hacker. o ons-srmed ex-Confede-
rate. earnestly advocated the bill at tho
benefit himself.
