faveWte (Wlgfalll la facttons. Thctwobal-
lothjga which we have Inst hud demonstrate
tho tiit. that Ins candidate has not majority
of litis legialaturu In- his power and yet his
i-'ii.tiim i- alsuit to bo cor.siimmatud. But
101 ttie ruling of the Speaker this perhaps
nuuni ue itiii. issiuif. .t 1 1 mat we itesue 110
mi our part is fair play. The .Speaker has
iiit.-n mm we cannot nave a call ol the House.
liot.vithstantlttiH the call has been sustained
by n larrfur number than required by the rules;
hi- has decided tbat in joint session there can-
nut be a call that lneinhers eonnot be (orcwl
to come in .-ind vote. II this rule is sustained
a- it has been we never will be ready to go
on tilth this election but let us have n call
of ih- House as we .-ire entitled to under a
fair 1 on dim tion 1 .1' tin- roles according to their
nnt obvious meaning and we will throw no
-di traction to rireceediiig at once with the
election. Lut men have left the hall who
dan-in. t vote for .the nominee of the Senate
midnight "illicit . ip 1 seek by tbelr obst-nce to
aec niilish that 1-1-11I1. which tbey cannot do
by their vote. Their absence redneea the
number of vota cast and of course the num-In-t

ret ut 1 Ii . tjon and thu- the place of United
-tii Senator is the only mite which is in
them an 1 tbej will -it luVc forever or have it.
In -ii -.ire of the Constitutional rules which
liivt- been prescribed for our action gentle-
men ars determined to disregard tin-will of
t!- people. 'I Ley are determined that this
ti.i" hull be misrepresented in the Semite ol
Hu 1 nit.-i Male l.iiuwiui'lv tln-v ore de-
tcii.-iini'd tu di regard the voice of the people.
1 1" ript-nl.ei itstuiiieil as le is by his paitv
has it in bis power to accomplleb this. Por
on" I shrunk not hum th. responsibility of
i" 1 ting by all manner of im-ntis in inv mw-
euythi consummation. Hence 1 repeat if we
..it help it under the present ruling we will
n. . i be ready to go on with the election.
U. wish lu adjourn tbla joint atnaiOn that wo
inn iiu that in a srs-ion f nr own body
wbii ii the Speaker rules we cannot do in the
joint session We want to make every man
face tltt- intisi" -we want no dodging the issue
litiitlcii.cn tell us tbat it is none of our lni-i-n
- n bother mombera vote or not tbat they
m. alone responsible to their constituents
But I hold that it is our business by the
constitution they are the depository or the
(tower to elect tbla officer they are officers
ol the state ami not only their own constitu-
ents but our constituents the people of every
part of tbo State are Intei-eated in their ac-
tion; and If they will not of their own accord
dischargo their duty we have the eight and it
i- our duty tu force them to do it. If gentlo-
lueii wish to give us fair play and to proceed
with tliis election let tlipm assist us in forcing
those men who have gone Out to come back
and vote.
We shrunk from no responsibility which
attaches to us in resisting a nlisropresoutatlon
of tlie voice of the people tif this State lu
thi- motion WO want every part of the Stale
i- :y representative to sK-ak out. It may be
thai y.u may succeed circumstances favor you
and the voice of the people may lor this time
be disregarded If so it will bo by that inl-
ine which prevents n. fiom bringing members
in and making them vote upon' this question
as wo can fort c them to do on all others L'p-
011 the must insignificant proposition u few
members If they SCO proper can have every
solitary member brottght In by tho Sergeant
it! Anus and force him to vole for or against
it. yet strange lo ay that upon this matter
in which every part of the Stuto?aiid the
whole nation is interested il is tlecitltsl we
have no Mich power. Let then the country
understand upon whom tbo t-uMponsibillly runt
il out- is had.
Mi. Wn-bl.-r -aid - Now Mr. Speaker I rit -sire
to submit this point of order. The pen-
. lnaii from I'aiiola. (Mr. Martin) moves that
tliis pinit session ailjotirn.
We have already had some six or eight suc-
cessive motions to adjourn to ditToront times
all of whiiii have been voted down by the
House. Is Ihcro to be no end to this mode o
proceeding? Is it can-it boordorthat motion
alter motion should lie submitted to the house
fur adjourning tho joiutaoatdonl If such is
the correct course then gentlemen may move
to adjourn to every minute of every hour und
every hour of the twety-l'eur ol each day du-
ring tbo session of tbo Legislature. The etfact
will bo the defeat of tho object for which we
have assembled We invited the Senate to
niiHt Us in joint session at eleven o'clock to-
day. They have accepted our invitation
They have met us for tho purpofeof electing
a I '. S. Senator. We took two ball its in lin-
early part ol tho day without Any result.
'Since then the time of the t wn houses luis been
taken up by the house lu voting umu motions
t.i adjourn and other motions to defeat the
object of tbo joint mooting a this right 1 Is
it parliamentary .'
At tho beginning of tho session of the Legis-
lature mil's wen- adopted for tho government
of the two houses when convened in joint ses-
sion. What were those rule adopted (or?.
I'lTtiuiih not to giro gentlemen the opportu-
nity of retarding business Nn. sir rules are
made rut I conceive for tho purpose of fncilitn-
tine business. In giving ooustmotloji to tho
mil in. should therefore look tn their spirit
a-well ns tin-h tier. If tlio course hitherto
pursued be persietl in and permit ted then
the-very lu cnti.ui of the rules will be defeated
and liiisiiits.- retarded. We may set here hour
after hour and day after day without aeeotn
plishing tlie object for which have asseiu

These ruins require cleaily. in my 0111111011.
that ll quorum being present a ballot must be
taken before a motion for adjournment can be
entertained. If after an iinauccossitil ballot a

ttu taiticd 1 There can be no doubt that patch
is I bo spirit of the rules. It is contended flint
under tlio sixteenth rule a million tu adjourn
the joint session can be made at any time.
Such is 1 bo import . if t he rule. Hut in construing
it reference must bo hud to the one preceding
it. The two rules must be taken together
If they ntc tnken together you will give them
such a construction as will 'facilitate the busi-
ness for which we have met. If they are con-
strued in any other way. then the very object
ol all rules is defeated Slid this joint session
will have met to 110 purpose.
The gentleman from Red RlvtSr (Mr. Upper-
son.) sy that in my former remark' 1 called
his side if the question a factious minority.'1
Tin- gentleman is mistaken. I m reflection he
will I have no doubt find Iii-. mistake. I Used
the ti tin "factious OppoeltlcAl" not ' factious
minority." I am hot Informed where the ma-
jority and minority will Anally be found In
this race. I have my own opinion iu this re-
gard but I bait- no assertions to make. An
opposition may be fair straight-forward a id
march up boldly to defeat if that is to follow.
On the other hand where an opposition tries.
by" all menus in it. power to defeat action
then it becomes factious. It was in this sense
I used the term in no other. The course of
tlie opposition has been to defeat the purpose
(or Which tho two houses have met nml for
tliis reason I have styled it a "factious oppoai-
tioit." Hut. say. ti. gentleman from Fannin (Mr.
Tat hu.) turning tome: "If you and those
withwhuiii you are acting w ill exercise the
powers you have ami bring in all your men
we are ready for a vote.'' lie say... that some
ol the men OU our side hate conscientious
scruple ami are absenting themselves from the
hullse; that wi-lllll-t bring them ill. before we
can have a vole nml that no voto llulli be
taken until they ore brought in. Mr. Speaker
tin- m ty men to whom the gentleman from
Fannin refer- ar.- in their eat- and have been
nearly all the tnim during tins discusson. ll
they were not I have no power to compel their
attendance. I am not re ponsible for their
action. I bat is a matter WillCU they iiin-t
settle with tbelr constituents and their con-
sciences. I am not then keeper of any man's
conscience except my own. und w Lieu 1 take
can-ol that. I -ball probably have ononVh to

The gentleman say- that we shall have no
Vote until the absentees be speaks of are
brought in. If such me the tactics to be em-
ployed; '' the object ol thejolllt session is lltlls
bo lx defeated -ao let it be. 1'imhi hint und
his fHcnds rest the responsibility not upon
me and thus with whom I am now acting. I
wash ray hands of any and all intention to re-
tard the object of their meeting even if the
candidate of my choice should be defeated.
I have been and am now willing anil ready
te "face the music" Let other gentlemen do
the same. 1 trust that every man itpon this
Hour will stand to his colors. I have cho-en
my standard : I intend to stand and fight by
it. ami If defeat overtakes me then I shall
at la-t have the satisfaction of having fallen in
what I believe to be a good cause.
I trust Mr. Speaker that the point which
I have made will be sustained by tho chair;
thnt an end will be put to those successive
motions to adjourn; that the course heretofore
pursued by some gentlemen will not bo per-
sisted in or permitted any longer. I trust
that we may soon have another ballot and
that tho ohjobt ol the joint session will be uc-
complishod. Mr. Mabry made some i marks lost by the
Reporter in consequence of tho distance uf his
desk from the speaker.
The Speaker (Mr. Taylor of Cass) said:
With the h'iie that it may facilitate business
I shall exercise the right which tho rules give
me iu accordance with parliamentary usage
to order u coll of the roll.
Tlie roll was calli d showing a quorum pre-
sent. The Speaker: The Chair has hitherto ad-
mitted a great degree ol latitude; and WO Ulllst
confine oursolves within the limits prescribed
by the rules or we will never da any business.
Whether those rules are just or unjust I do
nut protend toaay; but they are laid down
for our guidance and I intend to have thcin
observed. Tins morning as I remarked I
have permitted great latitude 1 have done
so rather than any man should say that I was
captious or unfair in my ruling. But under
the rules which control us on this occasion WO
can only adjourn or proceed to transact the
business lor which we have met in joint session.
The House has voted time and again against
adjourning tbo joint session and it is not par-
liamentary to persist ill forcing a vote iihiii the
same question for it is the same m ctl'ect for
the purpo I preventing action. I now give
notice lo the House that if 1 am sustained I
will not entertain inure than one more motion
to adjourn until the House slmll have pro-
ceeded to the business for which we have met
together to-day iu this lla'l.
Mr. Henderson I would state tolheSpoaker
and mombera of this body that whenever we
have a lull House WO will elect a Senator;
but I want to say thai if you make that decis-
ion and act upon it. you will liol elect at this
mootlug.
.. Mr. Franklin 1 rise to a point ul order. Is
there any question before the House F
The Speaker The gentleman from Harris
is speaking to the remarks of the Speaker.
The roll of the House was called.
The Speaker said tlie two houses in joint
session will proceed to vote.
Mr. Martin moved to adjourn until Monday
morning lu o'clock. The House refused to
adjourn by a vote of 20 yeas. o7 nays.
Mr. Martin The objections which have
caused all ibis debate niul difficulty liuve not
been removed. 1 now move to reconsider the
Vote jllst taken.
The Speaker derided tho motion out of order
as oqulvalont to 11 motion to adjourn.
Mr. Ilciiilci-ou appealed fiom the decision

The Speaker If the motion waa 1111' il

Mr. Martin I mode the appeal.
Tho Speaker Tho quasi mi before t lie 1 rouse
is shall the decisii ftlu-f hnii-t .0 -11-1 . .: '
Mr. Martin said: Amid cries .1 -..'..1'
"order" is it not 111 under for mo Mr. S eukcr
now to address the Itouse? I wnnl ineielt
to make a low remarks in order thai af 1 . 1
my position may be placed right befon this
body. I was not aware thut by the rules ol
this House or by any parliamentary mm . . n
Legislative body conld bo placed in aui ll a pu
sition that nothing but one particular item ol
business caul ntertainod and tlial bj the
arbitrary ruling of the presiding officer in di-rei-t
opposition to the expressed wish ol tin
members of that body. 1 canutilsoundi ml md
the rules that we havo adopted for ii govern-
ment of our deliberations. Sir tlto plain Eng
lish of the matter Is this- that motion to
adjourn has precedence of all other-. There
was no motion before tbo 1! uum when 1 made
the motion to adjourn. The Chnir ruled (lull
motion out ol order and tlio House has sue
taiueil that decision lint a new motion to
adjourn has been made; and that has the sntm
precedence which the firm motion ro adjourn
that was made to-day had.
The question now Is whether the Hon 1
will sustain the Chnir in a decision win .1 1 ite
oil all possibility of adjournment nml force 11
Imperatively and immedLtely into tho trail
action of the Important duty that will devolvi
ii.uti us iniiing tin- scansion w nn.- it- 11 pro
testing against being ihus forced from an
boneat conviction that justice will not bi un
and I assure you this la all tbat I h iie li.:il
justice to ourselves to our constituent und t"
the tountry ut large may bo done But. n.
is it justice for a number nl the ineinbci ol
this body to shrink from the dischargo l hit
Important duty and withdraw from the II ni -.-and
thereby allow a minority to . - -nt r..l thi
election and force tq 1 a man who dot
not reflect the political sentiment ..1 n maj 1
it) of this body and who yet more effectually
lads to reflect the political enliimni ..I tin
people we represent? Under this 1 m unction
id the rules we are called llill to 1 uliqiuluisi
our honest convictions of right or be forced t"
remain hen- until we may starve i .! .1 1 1
without tlie possibility of relief. Thi dues
seem to me to be a predicament in which no
rules could ever place a parliamentary l.odv.
If It Is out d' order 1. adjourn 11 w 1 u II I .
out ol order in all time to cum..
The Speaker The Chnir took no itch osi-
tion but that until we do take a ballot no
motion to adjourn can be entm tabled.
Mr. Martin So I understood the derision
of the t hair but I can find no rub- that jnsti
flea the decision; 110 such rub- baa been tli
covered during this debate and I dt-fj the
Chair or any member of this body to ultow me
such u rule or to point to a precedent of any
parliamentary body in this or an; ol Iter otlli-
try in the history of the world thnt justifies It.
A motion to adjourn is admitted to be a pri-
vileged motion. And I admit that wl 11
motion to adjourn has' been voted down an-
other motion proposing tho sumo hour cam 1
be entertained; but a motion t" adjourn t"
another hour nut named in nny' previous mo-
tion is a new motion and has tho same proci
deuce that the first motion had. .Nov. -11.
there are rules ....-; . - te laid down fin th
government of our deliberations In this joint
session and the Speaker has no right todictati
now and arbitrary rules in their stead. Vou
will find that the 16th section ol the rules go-
verning elections by joint vote "I the two
Houses is in tho following language 1
"If 1.0 choice slmll have been utadeoil li'
lirst ballot or vote at any time thereafter the
joint session may bo adjourned with or without
naming another day for meeting by the voti
of a majority ol either House; n bleb voto shall
be taken by the presiding officer ol eithci
House on motion of any one of its motnbt ;--without
debate."
Have we not had one ballot yea two ballots
and no choice bay been male; does n : the
plain langiiiige of the ride thou guarantee !
nn- or any oi her member of this House tin
right to move an adjournment and does it not
also plainly point out the 'but ul the prt - din
officer when it says the vole tliali bo 1 ikt 1.
by him on motion of any member aud I
will t tlsbate ! Now '-ir. the luilgil - ol
this rule is too plain tu be mi until : tood and
the rights and the duties of both the nu Inbi 11
and the Speaker are too clearly defined to n I
nut of cavil; ami I look upon thi tie iaiun ol
the Chair as not only arbitrary bit) tyrannical;
as the assumption of a In Jih ni.! d tyranny
unprucudentou in tho annals ol pnrliami ilttn
usage. And I want it clearly itnilci-sUt 1 thai
my object is not tho delay of this ini- i-f ill
business. I aui actuated by 110 factious 111 itivi
and do not desire to adjourn in ordci to li 11
the object of this joint session. But 11. 11
