ILLNESS OF SENATOR VAWTER.
Mr. CRAVENS. Mr. President, I am in receipt of a letter from the Senator from Jennings, [Mr. Vawter] who is confined at home by serious illness. I passed through the place of his residence on Monday, and was made aware of the fact that he was suffering from severe hemorrhage of the lungs. I desire to make this statement in his behalf, and ask that he be excused from attendance in the Senate for the present.
The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. It is so ordered.
