oeed to q ballot ter United States Senator, Mr..
Camp-atter remarking upon the constitution
u provision, lsection II, article g. declaring
that
1.-The justices Of the Supreme Court and dis
trict courts shall hold NO Office Under the Uni
TED States, nor any other Office under this
State; and all votes tor either OF them for any

the people, during tteil continuance in Office,
the question, to amend the journal Of yester-
day by striking out the record that two votes
were cast for S. J. Mcmillan.
MIR Murray objected that the convention was
not formally informed that these votes were
cast tor the Chief Justice.
MIR. Rutledge argued that the question was
not to he decided here.
the State prohibited or made void these votes
TOR the Chief Justice, but thought it important,
since there are those Sho think otherwise, that
the question should he decided now.
MIR. Coggswell opposed amending the journal,
as proposed, tecause it only recorded q fact.
MIR. Murray suggested that If (the Speaker
having SO ruled) the journal could he thus
amended an y ~ majority tn it might be amended
striking out Gov. Davis VOTE
Mr.. Bos Worth moved q substitute resolution,
instructing the Speaker and Clerks not to
count votes hereafter cast for any Justice of the
Supreme Court or OF a District Court Of the
State.
The substitute was. accepted bv Mr.. Camp
and was then rejected by the convention, with
but few votes in its favor.

Upon this Mr. Wilkinson commented BY
saying he had always steadily held that this
must be a1irmly knit union Of States.
Those were his views when he represented
this State in the United States Senate, at
time when the country called its young mel
to the defense Of the Union, and when Mime
sofa sent out her young men to do battle io1
