After the announcement of the commit.

were wholly responsible for the bankrupt
condition of the State and the practical re-
pudiation of the State debt.
This much embraced the first resolution.
The mover of the resolutions was proceed
ing to read them when about half OF the
Convention rose and compelled him to sus-

The resolutions were then referred with.
out further reading. The reporters COM
menced copying them, which caused such Q
tumult in The hall and on the stand that il
was impossible to secure them for publlca'
ton.
C. J. Malord raised the point that the re.
solutions were not in the interest OF the co
lored people, and therefore ought not to have
been entertained. =
Another member presented 4 series OF re-
solutions which the Chair decided should be
read: that he "ddn't mean TO be implrtia!,'
(partial, he meant, NO doubt) and knew thai
these resolutions were for the good of the
colored people.
Dir. Washington charged the Chair per
soDally with being unfair.
A dozen members jumped up, and such
tumult was probably never heard In any con
vention before.
The sergeant-at-arms pro tenn. (Peter j
