ally believed that this would be the l., st
! day OF the session. there was q rathe,

interest or excitement. There was also
dearth of senator's present: and when.

siderable time was spent in looking ,r
the requisite A. senators. There al.
ways seemed to be a feeling of doub,
in the chamber that such a numbe,
could be secured, and feeling of rel;e,
was manifested whenever the quorum
was obtained. The contempt of corr,
bill was the greatest bone of contertior
