OF the president. whenever it is evident
to the president that the natural work OF
the body is over the president will Just
put the motion to adjourn in the mouth
of some member and then put it. Be
cause Of his popularity and his consptcu-
Gus seat, Mr.. Barksdaie is quite fre-
cuently made, to move adjournment To-
day when President Wiczham said:
The Gentleman from Halifax moves
that the Senate adjourn" Mr.. Barksdale
rose and stated good naturally that h.
was made to move adjournment too Of
ten: people would think he did not won't
to do anything but adjourn Laughter
followed and Mr.. Wickhaaa ce1I;eEs
quickly and aptly that such g thing
proved that he was always IN his seat.
