So the vote upon the bill was reconsidered.

Mr. Gordon moved to postpone all other orders of the
day and unfinished business, to take up the bill entitled, an
act concerning the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal company,
which was made the order of the day for Wednesday last.

The Secretary of the Senate delivered the following :

By the Senate,

March 9, 1860.
Gentlemen of the House of Delegates:

We propose, if the House of Delegates assent thereto on its
part, that the action of the Legislature shall be confined to
bills that have passed one or the other of the two Houses,
until all such bills are disposed of, except the general appro-
priation bills, and to this end we propose the adoption of the
following order :

Ordered by the Senate and House of Delegates, That each
House after the reading of the Journal, will proceed to take
up bills upon its table which have passed the other House,
until all such bills are disposed of, each House reserving to
itself the right to give priority to general or special orders
of the day already existing, but in other respects, proceeding
in accordance with this order.

By order,

William Kilgour,

Secretary.
