| The House met at 10 o'clock.
Mr. Badham presented pension certificate in IA
| vor of Mrs. Avery Referred to the committee on
| claims.
Reports were presented from several Of the stand
| ing committees
| Mr. Stubbs offered resolution instructing the
committee on constitutional reform to enquire into
and report the eXpediency of making such amend
ments in the constitution, by legislative enactment,
may enable the people to elect the Judges OF the
Supreme and Superior Courts, Attorney General,
Solicitors and Magistrates, and report by bill or
| otherwise
Mr. Stubs stated his object in presenting the res
| olutiou merely to ascertain the sense OF the
House on the subject previous to preparing bill on
| the subject.
After some remarks from Messrs Settle and OAR
| gan in favor of the resolution, Mr.. Gillian called for
| the yeas and nays.
| Mr. Badham said that he should vote Affirmative
ly on the resolution But before doing so he desr-
ed to state clearly to the House his understanding
OF the resolution and his position with regard to It,
He pursued this course because bare vote without
| explanation might possibly be tortured as to in
volvc him in apparent Inconsistency. If the resolu
ton intended to draw out expression of opn
ion upon the merits of the several propositions there
in contained he was unprepared to make up an opin-
ion upon matters so important upon so short no.
tice. But he did not think this the desi ign of the
resolution. He sup posed the design of the gentle
man from Beaufort to be merely to take the sense of
the House as to its willingness to allow his PROPOSE
tons to be brought before it in another and more
| solemn form-being so impressed, he unhestatingly
voted in the affirmative, at the same time declaring
and reiterating that he meant to express opinion
the merits of the matters embodied in the reso-
luton.
Mr.. Settle took the same view of the matter as
Mr.. Badham in not considering it test vote but
expressed his readiness to support the bill when in
| troduced
| Mr.. Stubs explained. Mr. Hall, of Halifax, and
| Mr.. Brdgers would not consider the vote on the
! resout, test.
Mr.. jenkins would vote against the resolution for
the reason that he preferred seeing the bill introduce
ed first, that its enactmens might be examined If
there was no particular object in view, why demand
test vote on a resolution instead of the bill
Mr.. Gillian was interrupted by the Speaker de-
claring the debate ont of order. The question was
put the reception of the resolution and decided
in the aflirmative-yeas 95; nays IA.
Mr.. Badham moved message be sent to the Sem
ate proposing to enter into an election for Solicitor
of the first judicial district
Mr.. Ferebee wished the election to be postponed
until Monday next-the State business in that dis
trict being very heavy, and requiring active and
! efficient officer. He wished time for further consid
Grafton Mr.. F. proceeded to discuss the Gains of
| m honf vho ho lol >-ln
| by Mr. Badham.
The Speaker sustained the call, considering the
| gentlemans remaks irrelevant
MIR. Badham remarked the gentleman proposed
for the office would be amply competent to sustain
the interests of the State and moved to amend the
message by inserting the name of Elias c. Hines as
! candidate for the office

Slaughter having nominated Mr.. Smith, the mes
