"Mr. Lcwis scveral limes got up in grcat excitement, nnd requested Mr. Davis to pcrmii hiu. to offer n rcsolaiiun pos'pomng tbe hour of adjuurnment. "Mr. Davis would not yield thc floor till he had concluded bis rcniarks; bul he would give the Senator time to niake thc motion beíore thc hour arrived.
