The House was called to order at 10 o'clock,
A. M., by the SPEAKER, and opened with
prayer by Rev. Mr. MARTZ.
The Clerk read the Journal of yesterday.

tives concur, the Clerks of the Senate and
House be directed to prepare and have printed
for the use of the Legislature twenty thousand
copies of the proceedings of the celebration of
Washington's birthday at Harrisburg, and
Washington's Farewell Address, the addresses
to and replies of President Lincoln, and the or
ders of the day."

and addresses of the President elect and of
Messrs. Palmer and Davis , passed by the

THE COMMONWIALTR INSURANCE COMPANY Or MAR-
=I
Mr. BALL moved to reconsider the vote on
the final passage of Senate Bill No. 1101, enti
tled 'a supplement to the Act incorporating the
Commonwealth Insurance Company of Harris- 1
Mr. COWAN. I would like to hear some
reason for this.
Mr. BALL. This bill came in from the Sen
ate yesterday, and, being on the Speaker's i
table, was immediately taken up and passed.
It was a manuscript bill, which had not been re
ferred to the Judiciary Committee, as it should
have been. I just entered the hall as it was
under consideration ; and of course I knew
nothing about it. I must say I know very lit
tle about it now; but accident and the kind
ness of a friend have pointed out to me the fact
that the bill does, it is to be feared, prejudice
the interests of the constituents represented by
my honored colleague (Mr. Tramsa) and my
self ; and the inquiry to ascertain whether this
were the fact has discovered to me the other
fact that, as I fear, it prejudices the interests
of the constituents of all the members upon
this floor, if in their counties, (as I have no
doubt there are in the majority of them,) there
be agents of this insurance company. In order
to ascertain this fact and to prevent harm being
dune to my oxistituents, or to any other elti
-7015 of this Commonwealth, I have thought it
proper to move a reconsideration of this ques
tion, so that we may have time to examine the
hill. If it prove all right, I will withdraw
my objections; but I desire to have the bill
brought back to the possession of the House
and referred to the Judiciary Committee for
examination.
The motion of Mr. BALL to reconsider, was
agreed to.
Mr. BALL submitted tho following resolu
tion, whioh was twice read and adopted :
Resolved, if the Senate concur, That the Gover
nor be requested to return Senate bill No 1101
relative to the Commonwealth Insurance com
pany of Harrisburg.
Mr. BALL. I thank the Chair and this
House for the courtesy just now extended to me
in the consideration of this question.
