The Daily Dispatch: May 6, 1862., [Electronic resource], Revolving steel and iron forts. (search)
reassembled at 8 o'clock P. M. Mr. Brannon, of Lewis, moved that the Executive be informed that the Senate is in session and ready to receive any communication he may have to make. Mr. Robertson, of Richmond city, with a view of ascertaining whether there was a quorum present, called for the ayes and nays. Mr. Isbell, of Jefferson, thought the proposition of Mr. Brannon proper. Nevertheless, if the Senator from Richmond city desired the ayes and nays he could reach that result in a parliamentary way. Mr. Robertson, of Richmond city, was anxious to have a call of the House, that the country might know who were discharging their duties and who were not. Mr. Armstrong, of Hampshire, thought that as the call of the morning showed no quorum, it was necessary to be certain of a quorum before any business could be transacted. Mr. Neeson, of Marion, moved an adjournment till 12 o'clock to-morrow. This motion was decided in the affirmative by ayes 10, nays 8.
