STOCK BUNKING AT LARGE.
Mr. YANCEY called up his bill [S. 5] prohibiting certain animals running at large, which failed passing Saturday. He said it is a copy of the bill that came near passing two years ago.
Mr. ADKISON opposed this bill because his constituency, without regard to age, sex, or previous condition of servitude, are opposed to it. There is an abundance of outside range for cattle and horses, and they desire to avail themselves of their opportunities.
The bill failed to pass for want of a Constitutional majority-yeas, 21; nays, 22.
Then came a recess till 2 o'clock p. m.
