After the list was called, Mr.. ButtZ, of Nor
folk offered Il resolution authorizing the ap-
pointmcnt of a committee on permanent or
ganiZation, 10 b. composed of one member
from each county or city, TO be CHOSEN Dy the
res pective delegates.
MIR Butt said, in support of his resolution,
that upon examination he mad louhd the
Richmond delegation 80 lar exceeded those
from other portions of the State that If vote
was taken irrespectvcly the Convention
would be one of the city of Richmond, ana
! not of the State OF Virginia. tMuch ap-
piause and cries of "question J
The Chair would not call the question
both sides must be heard.
Much discussion ensued, ana many amend
ments Were offered.
Cornelius Harris, of Richmond, rose TO de-
fend the course of Richmond.
Mr. ButtZ wished 10 explain.
Cornelius Harris permitted the gentleman
TO rrectfy" him. The gentleman having
| .rectified = Cornelius, he took his seat
The resolution of Mr.. Buttz was then tho
roughly ventilated, and Rlchmond's monopoly
seemed 10 meet with good deal OF opposition.
1t seemed impossible for some time 10 have
the question put. Speaker after speaker woHt'i
rise utter his sentiments, ana no one " Oulti
WELD 10 the cries Of question.
Daring this an amendment was offered 10
the effect that the president be authorised 10
appoint a committee OF nine.
A colored member from Norfolk arose 10 adj
dress the meeting. He opposed the amend
mrnt and advocated the resolution OF his

permission to interrupt him for Il moment
He replied: Yes. sir but | will proceed.
And he proceeded. Calls were suddenly made

ton" .'Dis question is not de previous ques-
ton and You can't call it, said the speaker,
as he proceeded with his remarks.
The calls for the question We're repeated so
forcibly that the Chair decided all discussion
at an end. The vote was taken upon the
amendment rilu sO". ana II was voted down
| SO loudly that its friends demanded the ayes
and noes" declaring that there were those
voting who had no right TO vote. II was &c
cidcd 10 call the "ayes and noes AS the sec
retary called the roll, the members womld
say That's right, vote nay The secretary,
Fitchctt. objected 10 this sort OF ruIlng OF ihe
votes and accused the gentleman from Nor
| folk with debating to the voters, win much
bitterness. \ voice in the crowd" Attend 10
your business as secretary. J
| The secretary proceeded with the roll
The vote met with the following result :
Yeas l3O nays, II. so II was lost. Inc
question recurring on the original resolution
