wonjd make issues made upon debts con-

Mr.. MOORE. of Chowan, said he trusted
this or some kindred measure would speed
lily pass He was no ardent adrirer OF stay
laws in general, and thought they certainly
did much harm and but little good, but the
peculiar condition of the State at this time,
in his opinion, demanded some such meas

: Mr.. SEYMOUR would support any stay
law which was constitutional. He thought
: it would be constitutional to provide that
all sales OF property under execution should
be staid until the list of January 1871.
Mr.. PoU said if this bill applied to all
debts there was nothing unconstitutional in
: it. If it were unconstitutional, it was be-
cause it violated the Constitution of the
United States, not of the State The bill
would extend the time in which judgments
e could be obtained six months, and the
< question was whether the circumstances
l would Justify it. and he thought they were
!. such that every consideration of humanit,
: demanded that we should extend the remedy
