that the fundamental condition in the Om-
nibus bill, which seeks to restrict the right
of the State hereafter to regulate suffrage,
to be without legal force or effect in this
State, came up.
Mr.. Robbins supported the resolution in
one of the most powerful, eloquent and i'm
pressive speeches we have listened to. The

most profound a tention and with undated
interest. The Reporter cannot attempt a
report and hopes that Mr.. r. will furnish
it for publication.

GO HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,"

city.
Mr.. morrill,, of Brunswick, appeared,

RESOLUTIONS, &c.
BY Mr.. Gunter: A resolution requesting
the Governor to furnish each member a
copy of the Constitution and Ordinances
OF the late Convention. Adopted.
BY Mr.. Hodgins: A resolution that the
Commission who were appointed by the
late Convention to codify the laws, be in
vited to address the House, in Committee

Mr.. Hodnett moved to insert IS Caswell'
in its provisions. 5
After some further discussion, Mr.. Blair
withdrew the resolution, as the matter
world be covered by general bill.
By Mr.. Abbott: A joint resolution au-
thoriZing the Governor to appoint Com
mission of three to examine into the Liter
airy fund. including the University-said
committee to have power to send for per-
sons and papers. - Oh
Mr. Durham did not see the necessity Of
such measure. We had Superintendent
Of Instruction whose business it was to
transact such matters. The Commission
would have to be paid, at the expense of
the State. Why not authorize the Speaker
of this House to appoint committee to
report on such business =? That would be
no additional expense to the State, if a
special committee was really necessary
He, therefore, was opposed to the reso-
luton.
After some debate between Messrs. Alb
bolt and Durham, Mr.. A. consented to
modify his resolution by authorizing the
Speaker of the House to appoint a commit
tee of three to make an examination. The
resolution was then adopted.
By Mr.. Sinclair : A bill entitled San act
to change the method of electing the
Judges of the several Superior Courts"
This bill provides for the election of the
Superior Court Judges by the electors of
each Judicial district, instead of a general
MIR. Justice, of rutherford, moved to lay
it on the table.
Mr.. Sinclair called for the yeas and nays
The call was sustained and resulted in
the House refusing to sustain the motion
to table, by vote Of yeas As. nays So
On motion of Mr.. Abbott, the bill was
to the committee on the Judiciary,
when appointed. a -o
On motion of Mr. Abbott, his bill 10 pro-
vide new term of the Superior Court in
Caldwell county, was taken up and put on
