 Mf. Cobb--I move a suspension of the rules.
 Upon vote being taken the rules were suspended.
 MT. Cobb-Mc. President, the decla- ration contained in the regolutitos just read that "h Is not well for man to live alone." k as true and fotceful es 1t is trite. And so of the other senti- ment that ouf political institutions rest upon the family relation as their chief corner stone. As members of this body, ws are the representatives. of intelligent and upright constituencies, who love virtue and faithfulness te duty and are ever ready to extend the need of c0mfnendation to every word and act which win secure the one and promote the other. And they will tar- don us, I am sure, if wa turn aside from the work we have to do. to give the pIaudit of well done to ouf worthy confrere. and to extend to him and lis accomplished bride the congratufa sions and we'll wishes of the people O. Ala bama. That we may give emohdsis- 10 their approval and otirs, 1 move the adoption of the resolutions by a rising vote
 And by a rising vote. the fesoiu- tons were unanimously adopted.
 The report of the Committee on the Journal was read, ststinE that the Journal for the thirty-foufth day of Che Convention had been examihef and found to De correct, and the same was adopted.
 Mf Robinson--I now move to take from the table the resolution reported by the Committee on Rules to limit debate. think it Is high time that that resolution, CT che Of sifiiilar i'm port should be adopted. That resolu- tion was reported by the Committee, and it was laid upon the table, to be taken up at any time at the pleasure of the Convention. Therefore 1t is a privileged question. If the convention does not desire to limit the debate to five minutes. then they can amend the fe6oiutions but 1t does seem to me If we are eyer to get through with the making of constitution, there must be some limit to debate in this body Therefore move 10 take the resolution from the table and put 1t upon its pas sage.
 MT. Psttusv-H would like to ask the gentleman a question. Is not there a limit on debate now. under the rules of the Convention?
