Representative Moye, an opponent
Of the bill, gave notice of motion
to reconsider, the effect Of which
was to hold the bill in the house un-
til Thursday, and the purpose of
which was to renew the fight in
the hope of defeating the bill on
another roll call.
Representative Watkins, a sup
porter Of the bill. moved to transmit
the bill Immediately to the senate,

carried, would have been to shut off
any further consideration. This mo-
ton, however, required a two-thirds
