Mr.. STEARNS of oxford: Mr..
President: / move that this order lie
upon the table. / wish to say in ex.
PLANTATION that | suppose it is the am
/ bitfon of every Legislature to have an
early adjournment, and that I'M
, doubtedy the order as read will have
considerable bearing upon that
question. 1t fixes the date for the
reception of private bills and petit
tions at January 81. | think perhaps
that date is a wise one but if the
date is to be set at January 81, we
should be sure that that is the date
We mean. My limited experience has
taught me that oftentinnes this rule
has not been lived up To, that there
have been. extensions of the time set,
and | think i've should be sure that is
the date we mean, ard if we decide
upon that date we should live up to
1t. | make this motion for the pur-
pose of aseertaining whether we can
actually live up to this rule.
The motion was adopted and the
