senator Flood here informed the House
| that the Senate had concurred In the
Joint resolution inviting Hon. Joseph w.
| Bailey TO address the General Assembly
| Win an amendment changing the date
| from February 18th to February I'D. The
| amendment was agreed to on the part OF
| the House.
| Mr.. Walker. OF Northumberland, coin
| cided in substance with the views
| expressed by Mr.. Saunders, while DR..
| Quosenberry. of Caroline, stated he was
utterly opposed TO the application OF
stripes I'm any form. which was nothing
/ but relic OF barbarlsm. lie was opposed
| TO parental government. on the part OF
| the state. The effect OF the reintroduc-
ton Of stripes would be to keep away
! from Virginia persons looking for homes
who were opposed to such remnants or
barbarism. The colored population would
consider such a measure as directed
against them, for not one per cent. OF
white persons would be affected by It,
Mr. Parker. of southampton, said he
was more I'm favor OF the old bill than
OF the substitute. but ne would vote for
the latter as n compromise. lie then
practically went over the same ground
IN his argument which was advanced by
him. when the bill first came up for
discussion.
Captain Parks, OF Page. said he had
no desire TO impose severe punishment
merely for the sake OF punishment and II
men could be reformed without punish
ment he would favor that course.
