TIE CONVENTION MATTER
At ] o'clock The consideration OF III
Constitutional Convention bill was taken
up. debate recurring upon the amend
ment offered by Mr.. Glass providing for
the submission of the Constitution TO the
people.
Mr.. Glass sail his amendment was not
aimed TO prevent any white man from
voting on the Constitution. lie sad he
did not desire the General Assembly to
bind the convention in any respect.
But he declared he and those who adj
vocated his amendment did wish to pre-
vent 10000 negroes disfranchised by the
amended Constitution, from voting upon
il. he declared that il these negroes

to disfranchse them. Indugins in some

ute regarding the assembling of a Con-
stitutional Convection had provided for
sutm ttirE the amended Constitution TO
popular vote. He said the sproposs I'd
amendment was not to protect the white
voters: 1t Was to allow only those entitled
to vote upon its ratification or rejection.
He declared the pledge Of tho party. made
