ATicrmnnn Sessinm.

The discussion on the joint amendment
offered by Messrs. Walker, Steele and
Spears to the bill authorizing the people to
call a convention was resumed.
Mr.. Mcconnell. of Blount, said that he
would vote against the amendment because
it was clearly in violation of the constitu-
ton. and utterly disregarded the provisions
of the franchise law which was part of the
constitution. Although a Republican, lie
was not controlled by partisan feelings IN
the matter. He was against the adoption
of the proposed amendment because he
had taken an oath to support the constitu-
ton, upon which the amendment in
fringed
Mr.. Sadler. of Robertson, said the ques-
ton was so plain that the humblest mind
could comprehend it. There were not
ten members upon the floor who were not
PLEDGED to call a convention that the mana
cles which had so long bound the people,
might be stricken off. Whether the fran
chise law was a part of the constitution
or not. was not the question, but upon
what authority the people were to DO called
together. He acknowledged an inherent
right in the people to call a con-
vention. He was aware that the
constitution of 1865 was in full
force. The amendment did not propose to
abropate the franchise law nor say that it
was unconstitutional and that it was not a
part and parcel of the constitution, but pro-
posed TO claim the exercise Of the inherent
right which the constitution guaranteed
and which had never been surrendered.
The people had right to call a convention
regardless of any action of the Legislature,
when the rights which had been trampled
under foot had been taken into considera-
ton. Nobody was to be prescribed by the
amendment Radicals, Democrats and
colored men. would vote on the question.
He hoped the amendment would be adopted
Mr. Thomas, of Williamson, opposed the
amendment. He dissented from the view
that the people had at all times an inherent
| right to cali a convention. The people
only had a right to call a convention by the
exercise of the authority, and with the con
sent and appreciation Of the organized
functionaries of the government, in strict
accordance with the law The present
laws could not be abrogated until legally
and constitutionally repealed. Those who
had been enfranchised had alone the right
to vote upon the call of convention.
II might be unpopular to take this
view Of the question, but he knew no

ln Convention.

The object of the convention was to elect
a board of education. Owing to its impor-
lance and the fact that some of the men,
berS were not aware Of the meeting to-
night, it was moved that the election be de-
ferred till o'clock on Saturday night.
By permission Mr. Stocked explained the
utility of the automatic fire alarm tele-
graph
He also read a communication addressed
to the Council by the inventor, Mr.. Game
well. explaining the HOdus 0perdRdj of the
system and recommending the same as one
of practical usefulness and economy. He
stated that Mr. Gamewel proposed putting
up boxes at the several main stations in the
city and giving his bond for their satisfac-
tory and economical operation. He indi-
Gated that the acceptance by the Council
of the proposition would be of great bene-
fit, and he felt that, if we were able,
the investment of $13, 900 or S14, 900 would
probably save property to the amount OF
$4,000 or 500, 900. The proposal
and communication were received and re-
ferred to a special committee Of five. The
following gentlemen were appointed:
Messrs. Knowles, Fife, Perry, Ltterel
and Manlove.
The Convention then adjourned till
O'Clock Saturday night.
