THE BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS.
Mr. HEFFREN moved that the bill [S. 1] for the better management of the Benevolent Institutions of the State be made the special order far 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Mr. FRAZER said there was no need for hurry with Senate bills, but there was the greatest necessity for advancing House bills, of which there were several hundred awaiting third reading. He, therefore, moved to lay the motion upon the table.
The motion was rejected by yeas, 39; nays, 59.
Mr. FRAZER then moved to amend the motion so that 300 copies of the bill be printed, the bill being one of great public importance.
On motion by Mr. SCHLOSS this amendment was laid on the table by yeas, 58; nays, 39.
Mr. HEFFREN demanded the previous question.
This demand was seconded by the House-yeas, 58; nays, 39, and the motion to make the bill a special order for 2 o'clock this afternoon was agreed to by yeas, 57: nays, 40.
