IMPORTANT SUBJECTS DISPOSED or
The subject Of Re.upportionment, which
has been under discussion for two days
past, was indefinitely postponed yester-
day evening, in the House of Delegates.
The bill for taking the sense of the people
on the calling Of Convention, met the
same fate.
The subject Of apporlionmen,, il
will be remembered, was referred early
in the session to n Select Committee. -
That Committee reported in favor Of n
e-apportionment, based on white popu-
lation. A report was also submitted by
the minority of the same Committee,
which commended the Legislative power
ought to be apportiontd between the
great divisions Of the State according TO
the number Of white inhabitants, and the
relative amount Of taxes paid by each,
and that the existing apportlonment a2.
preached so near that ratio that il was in.
expedient 10 change it.
The speeches upon tho subject Of Re-
apoortionment assumed very earnest and
jealous tone yesterday. The speakers
were Messrs. Brown, of Preston, Morgan
Jackson and Smith, Of Kanawha. in favor
of Re-apportonment, and Messrs. Scott
and Crutchfeld agains, it.
Yesterday evering the vote was taken
on the question Of indie fnitely postponing
the whole subject, (moved by Mr.. Yer
by,) and decided in the afiirmatlye,-6S
to Sc.
Mr.. Dorman then called up the bill to
take the sense of the people on calling a
Convention.
Mr., Scott moved that it be indef nitely
stponed-carried, &C to 81.
Mr.. Dorman then presented protest
in behalf the Western members, against
the proceedings, and asked that it might
be entered on The journal.
Mr.. Scott objected, on the ground that
some Of the statements of the protest were
incorrect and untrue. Mr.. Cfutchfield
followed on the same side.
Mr.. Dorman, after some further debate,
withdrew the protest for the purpose OF
modifying it,
