A long discussion took place on the
propriety of adjourning the Convention
from tomorrow until the first Tuesday
in January. A resolution to this effect
was offered by Mr.. Stewart. The ene-
mics of adjournment resorted to various
parliamentary methods to defeat the
proposition. There seemed to be, how.
ever, very decided majority in favor
of adjournment. An amendment was
agreed to so as to adjourn from We'd.
nesday, but without coming to a
decisive vote on the resolution, the Con-
vention adjourned until to morrow
morning.
TUESDAY NovEMER 26th 1872
A long discussion was had on the
question of the pay and duties of stem.
rographer for the Convention, the price
agreed upon being 1,40 per 1000 ems, to
include the cost of stationery.
Balloting for stenographer was next
in order and resulted in the choice OF
Mr.. D. F. Murphy on the third ballot
by vote of IS to 81.
Mr.. Kaine offered the following reso.
luton :
| RESOLVED, That the committee on ac.
counts report by tomorrow the account
of said members for stationery, postage
and contingent expenses and mileage
for one session, according to the provis
IONS OF the act of assembly convening
this convention.
Mr.. Kaine said that resolution had
been offered few days ago directing
the president and clerk of the conven
ton to issue certificates to various
members for their fifty dollars, as pro
vided by the act of assembly, fol
stationery and postage. The resolution
had passed, but he understood from the
president that he did not consider thai
he had the power, and would not as
sumo any such authority, as to Civ,
certificates to members for their station
cry, postage or anything else, until the
accounts could be regularly passed upor
by the committee on accounts. Tha
was the reason he offered that resolu
tion.
After some discussion the resolution
was adopted.
A resolution to adjourn tomorrow
until the first Tuesday in January wa
agreed to by a vote of 60 yeas to A.
nays.
| Mr.. Buckalew offered the following
order which was adopted.
That the first five COMMITTEES, as ap
pointed by the president, meet aC Phila
delphia on the third day of January il
order to prepare reports for the actor
of the convention when it shall NEE
pursuant to the resolution of adjourn
ment.
| A number of resolutions proposin,
amendments to the Constitution wer
offered and referred to proper com
mittees.
Adjourned till to. morrow morning.
