Speaker Fleming was unusually prompt
IL 10 al
usually requires ten or twelve days. He
accomplished it in eight, and at the same
time gave constant attention to the
routine of his position.
Neither house did much to-day, owing
to the close proximity of the senatorial
caucus
The House reconsidered it's action on
the resolution passed yesterday providing
that Saturday Nov, 8, be not counted in
the fifty days of the session. 1t was moved
to refer the resolution to the attorney
general for a written opinion, the point
having been raised by Mr.. Hagarty of
Richmond, that it would be unconsttu-
tonal to prolong the session day. The
Senate refused to reconsider the resolu-
ton, and as a result the two hoses are at
daggers points over 1t. The House claimed
that the resolution had got into the hands
of the Senate by mistake and asked to
have it returned, but the Senate refused.
Mr.. Bushed moved to refer it to the gem
eral judiciary committee and this was car
ried.
The resolution of Mr.. Branch, pop, of
Columbia calling for detailed statement
from the state treasurer Of the money
in the state repositories was taken from
the table and passed.
Mr.. Branch is now after the Augusta
canal in which the city of Augusta owns
stock. After having set his seal of con-
demnation upon the Central railroad S
privileges of reorganization, he to-day
offered a resolution that the general as
sembly shall not have the power to au-
thorize any corporation to buy shares in
any other corporation in this state or
elsewhere, or to make any agreement or
contract whatever with any such corpor-
aticn, etc. Mr.. Branch also offered AN
act to amend an act to carry into effect
paragraph of section Of the articles
in the constitution of this state in refer
ence to the exemption from taxation
of certain property therein described,
passed Dec. 10, 1878, to more clearly de-
fine what is the public property to be eX-
empted hereunder"
Dawson county wants to be taken out
of Judge Gobers judicial circuit and
placed in the. northeastern, a bill to that
effect having been introduced to-day.
The only bill introduced in the senate
to-day was one by Mr.. Roberts, to pro-
tect innocent women against persons who
may attempt in wanton and malicious
manner to injure or to destroy their name,
character or reputation.
