MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS.

Mr. Nichols offered the following concurrent resolution: Resolved (the House concurring), That a committee of three from the Senate and three from the House be named by the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House, to confer on the matter of the passage of an ad valorem tax bill agreeable to both House and Senate, and that said committee report its action at the earliest moment to the House and Senate.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The President stated that the Senate had not received, as yet, any official communication from the House relative to the subject mentioned in the foregoing resolution and declared that, as no ad valorem tax bill was in possession of the Senate, no action could be taken in the matter and the resolution was therefore not in order.

Mr. Doherty moved that 1,000 extra copies of the Senate Journal of today's proceedings be ordered printed for the use of the Senate. The motion prevailed.

Mr. Weekes asked and obtained leave of absence for himself from the sessions of tomorrow and Friday.
