 House bill HAS, by MT. Langley (by re- guest)-To amend sub division 2 of section 453 of the code of Alabama.
 After the report of standing committees was made the important epoch of the day was reached and a victory gained which will long be rememb red in the house oi representatives.
 A motion was made by Mir. Willett 10 take up senate messages which had been informally passed. The motion prevailed, when house bill 821 (alisn railroad bilD was reached and the senate amendments were read. Mir. O'Brien immediat ,ly gained recognition of the chair and moved to lay the amendments on the table.
 Mir. Willett mace the point of order that MT. O'Brien could not move to lay the amendments and bill on the table; that the motion to concur took precedence.
 The chair ruled that the point Of order WAS well taken, and stated the m otion to concur and proceeded to put same to the house.
 Mir. O'Brien then arose to point of or- der and stated that no ID otion had been made to coucur in the senate amendments, but that the chair had recogniz sd him im- mediately after the reading of the senate amendments, whereupon he moved to lay the amendments ard the bill on the table.
 After some deliberatton the chair ruled that "courtesy to the senate should prompt the house to at least afford the senate an opportunity to either have it's amendments concurred or non-concurred iD. The chair therefore rules motion to concur in the senate amendments. ' Whereupon MT. Willett arose and moved to concur in the senate amendments, and MT. O. Brien moved to lay the motion upon the table and MT. o'Brisn's motion pre- vailed by q vote of 52 to 21.
 MT. O'Brien then renewed his motion to table the senate amendments and bill, and called Tor the yeas and nays. The result of the vote declared by the speaker was as fol- lows: Yeas, 46; nays, 20.
 All during this time the greatest excite ment prevailed throughout the assembly. The result of the vote may have been a sur prise to some, but those who know the ''gentleman from Jeffersou,' who has been the most aggressive enemy to the bill since it's appearance, saw the light of vic- tory in his eye when he entered the hall this morning.
 Mir. O'Brien has fought this bill with that spirit of vigor and tenacity peculiar to himself because he believed it to be a meas ure calculatedto oppress his people, aud now shall the people of Jefferson say, We'll done, thou good and faithful ser vant.o
 A motion was then made that the house adjourn until Monday at 10 o'clock, in memory of the late Hon. N. H. R. Daw- son, an ex-speaker of the house. The motion prevailed.
