pccted to return How then could the list
first issued by Gen. Candy be relied on in
every instance, for Mr.. Bartlctts name was
upon it &
Mr.. Mcdonald said that his name was
upon the list, and he had been declared elect
ed. He was opposed to a committee to wait
upon the Post Commander. He would also
take occasion to say he was a Republican,
and would remain so. if he lost bread and
meat by i. 3ai % .9i.9 Sin
Mr.. Abbott, of New Hanover, said that it
was true the order OF Gen. Canby was evil
dence prima tacie of the right of those named
therein to seats in the Convention. The doc
uinent itself was sufficient Therefore, the
roll might be called from it, and the meme
bers sworn in without delay. The commit
tee on cedentials might be hereafter raised,
when if any elections were contested, their
legality might be regularly passed upon
But as he said before. he thought the order
of the General was sufficient
Mr.. Tourgee, of Guilford, said that the
question was upon the motion to raise
committee of three to request the Post Com
lnander to furnish a correct list of delegates
The orde, of the General was defective, and
it should be remedied. Let the committee
be chosen, and wait upon the Post Conn
mander, who would point out the defects in
the present list. when the Convention would
;besrelieved of its present difficulty.
Mr.. Abbott, of New Hanover, said this
was temporary organization. If any
changes had been made by the General, it
would be known hereafter, and the proper
names substituted Not all the members
are here. Many are to be sworn in hereafter.
The remedy could then be applied. If this
committee were raised, it would probably
take all day for the Post Commander to
make proper investigation, correct clerical
errors &C. He did not think, if any one
had been notified that Gen. Candy had re-
voked his election, that he would take the
oath as delegate .fala5.e. 80
Mr. Harris, of Wake, desired to know if
any official information had been laid before
| the Convention relative to alleged defects in
| Gen. Canby's order? 1t was reasonable to
| suppose, if there were any such, the proper
authority would notify the Convention He
| thought that this would be done at the pro-
| per time.
The molten to raise the committee to
| wait on the Post Commander was then put
| and lost
MIR. Ellis, of Catawba, inquired whether
the members, whose election had been reyok-
! ed, would be entitled to mileage?
| Mr.. Abbott, of New Hanover, said that
| when the Convention was finally organized,
inquiry could be made from the proper au-
thority. He hoped the Convention would
now proceed to swear in the delegates pres
! ent. f#e.l a7e+ as.,..5a .. sa.s
Mr.. Reid, of Warren, said that in leaving
home he had failed to bring his credentials,
having left them inadvertently. r..
Mr.. Heaton, of Craven, said it would
doubtless appear that several members
had not their credentials with them. Per
haps no objection would be made, especia-
ally since each member lad been officially
| notified who the other delegates WERE
Mr. Rich. of Pitt, said that if members
would call upon Maj. Wells they would be
furnished credentials. His had been left, but
| he had obtained Others in that way.
Mr. Watts, of Martin, said that he appre-
hended no trouble All had been officially no.
| tified and it was only necessary IT, identify
the persons named.
| The delegates present were then called up
| by tweves and sworn by Mr. Riddlck, Clerk
ofthe Circuit Court. "a
| Mr. Abbott. of New Hanover, moved that
when the Convention adjourn, it re-assemble
tomorrow at 10 O'clock.
Seconded by Mr.. Heaton
The motion was then put and carried.
The Secretary then read the following dis
