RESOLUTIONS.

By Mr. Mayhugh:

WHEREAS, Article IV, Section 18, of the State Constitution, provides that every bill shall be read by sections on three several days, except in case of emergency, when the Assembly may, by a two-thirds vote, suspend the rules if they deem it expedient; and,

Whereas, Said clause in our Constitution in relation to the first and second reading of bills does not in our judgment prevent crude and hasty legislation, but only delays the reference and printing of bills, which must be done before any measure can be carefully examined or considered; therefore, be it

Resolved, That it is the opinion of the Assembly that upon second reading of all bills of a general nature that are presented for its consideration, said emergency has arisen as contemplated by the provisions of the Constitution, and that from and after the adoption of this resolution it shall be the duty of the Speaker to order every bill to a second reading by title without a motion in relation thereto.
