er this bill in the Judicial frame OF mind that
1t should consider it. 1t went to the very
foundation of the States political structure.
Mr.. Jones asked how many senators had read
the bill. About seven or eight replied that
they had done SO. The Senator then argued
that the measure hid not been ai.en due con
sideration. lie, too, claimed ti.st there was a
tacit agreement, not Il written contract Oh
compact, but an agreement, that senators de
string their counties excluded from the opera
ton of the law could have them exempted
His district did not want the measure. Elec
tions there were jus t as honest as they coulG
be under any system that could be enacted
INTO law
THE LAW GOOD ONE.
Mr.. Hay said that the future welfare anC
prosperity Of Virginia depended upon the
Democratic party, and that in his opinion the
passage of the bill would tend largely to per
pettate the control of the Democratic party
Mr.. Ecilols denied that hi reason for wish
ing reconsidera on was imaginary. VIII
was it that other senators had the same. opin
ions and ideas will! regard TO the tacit under
Standing that he dit? 1t was because surl
an impression WAS Great II upon their mind
Mr.. Flood asked the speaker il any one har
made any such proposition to him, and Nj
Echols said that that tacit unGarstandin
came more forcibly fro n the Senator from
AppomattoX than from any other senator
upon the floor, though several had permitted
that impression to go out among the members
OF the body who were opposed to the bill. Il
would have been right and proper for those
~
views be known twenty-four hours before
hand, if they had such Impressions as they
had expressed upon the flonr OF the Senate.
