NO. 25,s

Mr.. Bynum, an ordinance to change the
election of Governor, Legislature, &C., to 1st
Thursday in October.
Mr.. Howard, an ordinance to incorporate
the Wilmington Railroad Bridge Company.
A resolution in favor of the principal Sec-'i
retary of the Convention, was adopted. g
THE STAY Law, : s'.'.'. =
Being the unfinished business of yesterday,
its consideration was resumed. irs
A number of amendments were offered and
discussed. Some were adopted and some re- (
jected. The debate was principally upon
points of law. \
Mr. Dockery in discussing it warned the
people against the general tendency to run
into reputation, and said that before long
men would he found upon the stump adve-
eating it.
Mr.. Ferebec in reply asked Mr.. D. if he
had voted at the last session of this Conyen-
ton for the ordinances prohibiting the pay
ment of the war debt. Mr.. D. replied that
he had, when Mr.. Ferebee went on to say
that there was the point where repudiation
commenced that he had not voted for the
ordinance and that he had never tarnished
the honor of the State by so doing, sc.
Mr.. Settle replied that he was the author
and introducer of the ordinance which pro-
hibited the payment ofthe war debt, and
that it had secured the support of large
majority of this Convention. He was tired
of hearing insinuations cast upon the honor
and integrity of himself and those who acted
with him, and it was now high time that
Al. Il, L. M. p1ar <r,l
Those who insinuated that he was in favor
of regulating any honest or just debt, pub
lie OF private, simply said "r insinuated that
which was false No man In tue State would
scorn the reputation of just debt more
than himself, but this war debt, tainted
with treason, was not to be classed and con-
founded with just and honest debts.
He took the position that if the State had
this capitol building full of money andnoth-
ing else to do with it. not one dollar ought
to be applied to the payment of any debt
incurred in trying to destroy the United
States government That government owes
it to itself to see that money advanced in
seeking its life-blood, shall never return to
the pocket of its owner. That is but a small
punishment to treason. To think of paying
it but invites another rebellion to morrow,
