& Lieutenant Governor Jones rather got
the laugh on the old parliamentarians OF
the senate Wednesday. A motion was
made to adjourn to II o'clock, and an
amendment was offered, making the time
ten o'clock. The presiding officer ruled
the amendment out of order. This rather
shocked the old senators, who have been
used to amending motions to adjourn
without limit. Just to be. sure, they
looked it up, and found that a motion to
adjourn could not be amended.
In strict parliamentary propriety, a mo-
ton to adjourn should contain nothing
else # the body desires to change the
time for reassembling from the statutory
ten o'clock Tomorrow morning" a mo-.
ton should first be made, that when we
adjourn, we adjourn until II o'clock to-
morrow morning. or any other desig-
mated time This is capable Of amend
ment, and when that is carried, the mo-
| ton to adjourn can be made without any
other features. r." s5Z.

Fillmore came in for laugh from some
of his new member friends When it was
proposed to adjourn until II, he raised the
question Whether it was in the power Of
the house to adjourn to any other time
than 10 o'clock, Some of the new mem
bers knew better, and started the laugh
on their mentor. 90. r.. = =
