of all descriptions we have then pro-

Of the rules, and that vote whereby you
voted time to stop the reception of bills
was imperative. Not only that, but you
have received bills here without reading
them, and without any ceremony what
ever have given them their several read
ings and passed them to be engrossed. A
more useles performance for intelligent
men to be engaged in I have never seen.
The fact that the ex-Attorney General
Wilson and the Rickers are responsible
for this bill, men who absolutely know
better than to have a bill presented here
at this time, makes it a very good excuse,
in my opinion. to indefinitely postpone
that bill and all bills that follow.
The Senate may not take my view but

indefinitely postponed.
A viva voce vote being taken, the
Chair was in doubt. A rising vote was
then taken and thirteen voting in favor
of indefinite postponement and none
against the bill was indefinitely post
poned.
