Doinss of the Convention.

This body closed laborous session of forty days,
on Friday afternoon last Much important business
was done, but several important matters were left
for future consideration, for the want Of time. We
designed giving readers to-day correct list OF
the captions Of the various ordinances and resolu-
tons passed. but the absence of our reporter pre-
vents our obtaining full and correct list A reso-
luton introduced by Judge Howard, requesting Mr..
Speaker Clark to assume and perform the duties Of
the Executive during the absence OF Gov. Ellis from
the State, could not be reached in the order Of bust
ness. The Constitution Of the State makes it the
duty of the Speaker of the Senate to discharge the
Executive functions in the absence Of the Governor
from the State, and We presume the state of public
affairs really demands his presence here. The Con
stitution ooufers no power upon the Executive OF
Legislature to depute any one else to perform those
duties but the Speaker Of the Senate except in
of his death or removal from the State.
