Y On motion OF Mr. COX. tho clerk Of

1anltor for the House offices at a
salary OF not more than $40 per

To Notify Governor.
Mr.. 1rcRao offered a resolution pro-
yldlnE that committee composed OF
i've members OF the House and three
OF the Senate should be appointed to
walt on the Governor and inform him
that tho Gcnaral Asuelnbly was ready
4 TO adjourn. and to ask him Ii he had
any further communication to make.
Opposing this. Mr.. Throckmorton
said that In his opinion tho law takes
no thought OF tho fraction or day,
He believed that IL Senator Daniel d led
before the following midnight he
would die during tho session or tile
Legislature. He thought suoh pro-
scedurc dangerous. It would not, in
his opinion, avoid the fact that tho
Legislative day was still In existence.
Mr. Oliver took the opposite Wow. In
his opinion, an adjournment imme.
diately could not affect tho constit,i-
tional question and would be as eff
fsctive as X taking place at mid
night. - ~
The resolution was adopted with
apparently only one dissenting vote
that of Mr. Throckmorton. Mr.. Nc /
Rae was appointed to notify tho SEN
ate OF Its paasa ge. He delivered tho
message. and on motion OF Senator
{ folkes that body at once agreed.
Acted on Principle.
IN tho meantime, In the House, Mr..
Oliver had arisen to a question OF
personal privilege. on the day be-
fore he had opposed a motion to ad.
journ sine die. This he had done With
out consultation withiany one regard
Ing possible candidates for the sena-
torship or without reference to sI1cl,
a contest He had taken his position
because he had thought the House
could adjourn only from day to day.
II there was any blame for not ad-
5journing without day on Wednesday
credit was duo each member should
have his part.
Mr.. Stubs also had matter OF per-
.sonal privilege. Hc read the following
statement:
When, after consultation with sew.
eral members OF the House and Sem
ate, the resolution offered yester-
day in the House, calling back the
members Of both houses, was agreed
upon, and I was selected to offer tho
resolution. I was prompted solely to
make the motion because thought it
would be possible to have in attends L
ance sufficient number OF members
by this evening to meet any contin-
gency. This affection through which
virginia is now passing is the saddestlt
