ment. He held that the Legislature might
provide currency when the Government
failed to do so. The State has nothing tc
do with the National currency. The main
features upon which it was based would
stand for ages. It was fortunate for us
that we have a National currency of this
character. A man could take this to any
part of the country and find it equally
good, and himself free from money specu
lators.

At the word suching, the Bunkum Baby
began to whimper and whine like an un-
weaned kitten. The reporter thought the
baby's feelings was hurt-and they aoas-

He IKalvin1 didn't think the members
would tie their hands agin legislaSin sich
banks as they once had. He appeared
YOU'D scarce expect one of his age to warn
the Convention agin what he considered q
insidious foe. After numbering and slut
tering away about the old banks for while,
Kalvin said if gentlemen wished to tie their
hands in preventing free banking system,
they might do SO, but he had no idee they
would do anything of the sort.
The proposed additional section was then
put and rejected under call Of the pre-
vious question.
Mr.. Jones, (of La Mancha p moved the
adoption Of the report as amended. This
motion prevailed-yeas 70, nays 13.
Mr. Jones, of Washington, (he of the
Sorrowful Figure,) moved reference Of all
matters relative to divorce to the Commit
tee on Divorce, and that said committee re-
port what was best to be done. He thought
some petitions had been referred to one
committee, some to another, and others he
understood remained on the calendar
limo should be ecOnOmised, and that this
might be done, all should be referred to
the same committee, and the committee
should be composed of persons who weTI
discreet and prudent.
He renewed the motion to refer.
Kalvin ruled this motion out Of order,
and Jones made no bones of appealing
from the decision.
The Convention sustained the Chair, OF
Kalvin, or both, and the Knight Of the Sor-
rowful Figger subsidized into sombre, dig
nifed and disgusted silence.
Hobbs, from Davie, unknown scallawag
heretofore said he wished to speak liz re-
gard to absentees. The chur, he said, had
no right to send for members when there
was no Constitution making. He wanted
members to stand by him. Here we have
been, he couldn't tell how long, hammer
ing on things that had nothing t. do with
the Constitution. Truth, for once,
Hobbs
When here was Constitution making
going on, the cheer had the right to send
for absentees, but he had no right to do sc
when things not relating to the Constitu
ton are under discussion.
Just here the performance ceased, the
animiles were Gagged, and the gas extin-

COMMITTEE REPORTS.
Forkner, a petition from Committee or
Privileges and Elections, in regard to con
tested seats, and reporting in favor Of Jno
M. Marshall, for the seat now ably filled by
John G.. Marle~. The report was accepted
Capt. Plato Durham, q motion that the
communication from Gen. Candy, all facts
in regard to the case, be printed. His
motion, we need hardly say, was lost.
Heaton, of Ohio, of the committee of 16.
to whom was referred a petition from GER
tain citizens of Jones county, reported ad'
versely. Report received and adopted.
The report of the committee on Mr.
Marler's case then came up.
Gambler, the inevitable, irrepressible
Bunconbe BOBBY, moved that the report
be adopted.
Mr.. Durham thought it very remarka
BILE proceeding. He read numerous docu
ments in regard to the election in Mr.. Mar
ler's county, ali of which proved The eIec
tion Of Mr.. Marler beyond doubt. He sale
the votes of the different precincts haC
been counted, as also those of the county
and from them it was patent to every fair
minded man that Mr.. M. was duly elected
These special matters had been sprung fol
the sole, special and particular purpose O:
ousting Conservatives from their seats
This surely was passing strange proceed
ing Had the seat Of Radical been con
tested, the committee would not have dareC
to report against him without giving hin
an opportunity to defend himself. Mr.. NJ
had not had a fair and impartial showing
before the committee. Justice demanded
that the whole matter should be printed
in order that the people Of North Caro-
lima might know just what was going OF
here.
Abbott, New Hampshire shaker, sale
the gentleman had been before the com
mittee.
Mr.. Durham-Would you oust Repub
lican from his seat without giving him :
fair showing. Ii Mr.. Nj. was Tot entitled
