The Daily Dispatch: March 23, 1861., [Electronic resource], House of Delegates. (search)
Mr.Segar said it was wiser for the Legislature to afford the relief asked for, than that the entire State's interest in the road should be sacrificed under the auctioneer's hammer. Mr.Collier said he only desired to see even-handed justice. If this road really needed the relief asked for, he was willing to grant it, hoping that reciprocity would be the sentiment of the Legislature with reference to the roads running to Petersburg. Mr.Gibson, of Hampshire, and Mr.Anderson, of Botetourt, advocated the passage of the bill. The House refused to pass it, and, on motion of Mr.Lockridge, the vote was reconsidered; and then, on motion of Mr.Barbour, the bill was laid on the table. Mr.Watson, of Accomac, offered for adoption a resolution providing that, with the consent of the Senate, the House would on Saturday, the 23rd of March, 1861, proceed to the election of Militia Major and Brigadier Generals. It was objected to and laid on the table. House Bills Passed.-
