1.-THE New Hampshire election takes place on
the 10th.l
B. F. Randolph said il is evident this motion
is made to get rid of those two little W0rds, @
''lace OF color" understand it oil sr. Ihere
is no use in our backing down from these ques-
tions. We are laying the foundation OF new
structure here, and the time has come wren
we shall have to meet these things squaTeiy,
and we must meet them now or never; ine
day is coming when we must declde whetHeI
the two races shall live together or not, anu l
appeal to the gentlemen i'll this convention 10
,;1etaiu the motion I have made, so that tins
question can be brought up tomorrow "nu
discussed. L.. ,.o-
r T Moses. Jr.-I move to amend by re-
uuirinf that the committee shall report MSon

TO say here that, rs far rs or the CHAIRMAN VI
The committee are concerned, thore eXlsts no
intention OF striking out the words to whlcn
the gentleman from Orangeburg has alluded.
I do not care TO state my reasons puoilcly ior
desiring that the consideration OF the sectlo4
shall be postponed until tomorrow weeh, pu. .o,
pledge my honor that when they hear my rea-
sons privately given every ono Will DC tlior-
oughly satisfied of the proprioty OF such
step. Ill
l.. S. Langley.-I hope the amendment Will
not prevail. The subject has been thoroue Iiy
considered in the committee, aud as ono Oh us
members say that will not change my mlno'
I am a little astonlshed at this motion to post
pone until tie 11th Of March, for 1t seems 70
me that the gentleman has backed down 1roln
the sentiments he uttered IN the commluie1e:'
| If We are Republicans let us have repuoli-
can government and stand by our piinclPles:.
J. K, Jillson-I have my reasons lor makiuS
| this motion; others know them, and therefore
I DENY the charge that have backed down.
D. H. Chamberlain-I think 1t due 10 INC
convention that the reasons should be stated
Unless it is done, it will be unwise to postpone
the consideration Of this section.
B. T. Randoph-Don't you understand the
reason?
D. 81. Chamberlain do.
8. F. Randolph-Do you think any political
event depends on this?
D. Fl. Chambcrlain-I do not.
J. S. Craig-As there seems to be Important
reasons, and we don't want Tho public to know
them, moyo that we go iuto secrecL session.
| The Preslent-The rules OF the convention
| do not permit such thing TO be done
Al. Ransier-I think that as matter OF
courtesy, the request OF the chairman OF the
committee should be iayorably considered.
am not prepared to say for how long time the
/
| dedly in 10 OF OF sending the section back.
| u. Moses called for the previous question,
| and it being sustained, the motlon 10 fecom"iC
to the committee was agreed to, all amend
ments being voted down.
| This disposes OF the matter until the CONF
mttee sec fit to report il.
A few minutes later, while section IL was nm
der consideration, 3. L. Randolph made the
following remarks, which also bear upon the
subject:
The gentleman has taken fright at tho words
race or color" l understand it all. The
convention will understand it all. Some OF you
have accused me OF being too conservative;
but YOU will see VINO are the Conservatives Ill
this house. Well, hope this section will pass;
that lands will bo appropriated to schools, and
| that the colored children III the State will get
as mucn as they can; but tellyou that for one
l am not afraid Of tho New hampshire cleo
| tions nor any other elections.
The President.-Ihe gentleman must come
10 order.
The convention proceeded to the consider
alton of the article OH the militia, and after
short dobate and some amendment, its three
sections we've passed to q third reading.
On motion of Mr.. n. g. Parker, the offices
OF Adjutant and Inspector-General were maze
subject to election by the people, the lncun-
bents thereof to rank Brgadlcr-Gcneral,
their duties and compensation to be prescribed
by law.
The article OH corporations was next taken
up, amended, and passed TO its third reading;
aud the convention adjourned ut tho usual
hour.
