 The Secretary stated the question as
 follows: -, Mir. Wilson of Clarke moves the pre- vious question upon the adoption of the Journal and the pending an.aud-
 ment. MT. Jones of Montgomery rises
 and asks that he be allowed to con- ciude the remarks being the mover of the amendment.

 By a viva voce the decision of the Chair was unanimously sustained. The President-The question recurs upon the motion of the gentleman from question Is shall the main question now
 be put?
 Upon a vote being taken the main
 question was ordered. The President-The question is upon
 the amendment offered by the gentle
 man from Montgomery to the report
 of the Committee on Journal.
 Mir. Rulger-I would like to hear the
 reading of the amendment.
 The Presidential Is not in writing.
 The motion, however, is to strike from
 the Journal so much of the Journal as
 shows that the amendment of the gen. tleman from Dallas was laid upon the
 table. As many as favor the amend
 ment will say aye.
 Upon vote being taken the amend ment was lost.
 The question recurring upon the AR kt,A Nf hn tee on Journal, upon a vote being taken the report was adopted. MT. Dent obtained recognition. MT. Jones-Will the gentleman yield? MT. Dent-I yield to the. gentleman from Montgomery. Mir. Jones--I desire. If the President will hear me. to state that, perhaps, from a misapprehension Of what the attitude of the Chair was, l took ac- tion and probably said words, which, If had not been under such mlsap- prehension, I would not have done. further desire to state 10 this ConVel- ton and the Chair that ] endeavored | to say this five or six minutes ago and | the Chair would not permit 1t, and ruled that l was out of order. This was the purpose for which rose the last time. am the last man that would treat this House or it's Presi- dent. or any one with disrespect. and am the last man, if know tha: my rights are being violated 10 per mt | that it shall be done.
 The President-When the gentleman rises and addresses the Chair and | makes a motion, the Chair will always entertain the motion and submit it to | the Convention. but after the gentie- man makes a motion or makes point l of order, or moves any question, 1t Is | in order for him to resume his seat, | and to permit the Chair to state the question to the Convention. After 'he Chair calls the attention of the gentle man to the fact that he Is out Of order | and requests him to resume his seat 1t seems to the Chair, that the gentle- man is altogether Iout of order when he insists on maintaining his position on the floor while the President Is pro- ceeding to submit the question to the Convention. Therefore, the Chair re- spectfully requested the gentleman from Montgomery to be seated, in or
 der that the Chair might proceed to submit his question to Sne Convention,
 but the Chair cannot submit questions to the Convention when one or more
 or a half dozen gentlemen are on their
 feet clamoring for recognition. or in
 terrupting the proceedings of the Con- yention. This is a Convention of dele
 gates of the sovereign people of Ala bama, and it is becoming that we
 should act With decorum and with dig nifty. The gentleman from Barbour. | MT. Dent-When the Convention had
