NEW PROPOSITIONS.
Mr. COMSTOCK, on leave, introduced a bill [S. 271] embracing the civil code of laws as prepared by the Board of Revision and the Revision Committee, and, inasmuch as it filled 985 pages of manuscript, that was considered a sufficient "case of emergency" to dispense with the Constitutional rule requiring every bill to be "read by sections on three several days in both Houses" and so, forty two Senators voting "aye," the bill was read by title only, and made the special order for Wednesday at 10 o'clock.
