The vote on tlre substitute of Mr.. Car

four votes.
The proceedings on Tuesday, contain
very little of either interest or Importance.
The morning was occupied partly by tie
reading of the doiugs and sayings of
public meeting in Bo,etourt County. Mr..
Turner, Of Jackson, moved a, change in
the hour of meeting from 10 A. NJ. to IL
A. NJ. which motion, at his request, was
tabled. Mr. Hall, of Marion, made au ex-
PLANTATION of some remarks he had made
Un the resolution Of Mr. Wiley. The Con-
ventton, in Committee of the Whole, was
by Mr.. W. b. Preston. In the
evening session, Col. Ben. Wilson nddress-
ed the Committee at some length. The
Hall, of wetzel, offered his sub
stitute for the report of the Committee on
Federal relations, which was the Constitu-
ton of the Confederate States of America.
Mr.. Wise wanted it read. Mr.. Clemens
moved to discontinue with the reading SO
far as the paper is Identical With the Con-
of the. United States. AS Mr..
Wise insisted, Mr.. Clemens said he wanted
it to go abroad that the reading was de-
manded for the purpose of delay. an .insin-
uation which Mr. Wise denied as unfouud-
ed. The document was then read, much
to the annoyance, we suppose, of nearly
everybody in the Convention. is print
ed in extenso in the Enqurer's report, aud
occupies nearly four solid columns. 1Mr.
Fisher then addressed the Committee, ask
ing that Mr.. Hall would select such por-
tions Of the document read as would em-
body such amendments to the Constitu-
tiOu of the United States as are desired
the course of his remarks occurs this pas
sage:
