The Convention.

Among the important features in the
constitutional convention was the
adoption OF a section to the report OF
the committee on legislative depart.
ments providing for the inspection OF
the books of State and county officers.
The fifteenth section of the report
which related to the impeachment OF
certain officers for maladministration
had been passed without amendment,
when Mr.. Thornton offered the follow.
Ing resolution to an ordinance preced.
ing section Is:
The General Assembly shall, at each
regular session thereof, appoint a
standing committee, consisting of two
members of the Senate and three mem.
bers of the House of Delegates. which
shali De known as the auditing CON-
mlttee, and which shall annually, or
oftener than annually examine the
books and accounts of the first and
second auditor, the State treasurer ard
the secretary of the commonwealth and
report the result of these Investigations
to the governor, and annually publish
the same in two newspapers of general
circulation in the State
The reports received by the governor
Shall, at the beginning of each session,
be submitted by him to the General
Assembly for security and appropriate
| action.
The committee may employ one or
more expert accountants to assist in
said examination.
After some amendments had been Of
fered and rejected, Mr.. Thornton.s reso-
luton was then adopted.
The committee then began considera.
tion of resolution "A. Judge Robert
son, for the committee. said that the
purpose of this section was to relieve
the legislature OF a great mass of bust.

laws.

matter comes before the convention In |

sions day and adopted a resolution
looking to reducing the number of

Hicks For October,

The Mars period of disturbance is
central On the I'd and the Vulcan per.
Iod extends from the 1st to the 9th,
These will cause cloudy conditions and
rain and snow will touch many parts
OF the country from the I'd to the 5th
A change to much colder weather is
almost sure to crowd closely behind the
storms of this period
From the Sth to the 10Th the anti
storm conditions will give place to re-
turn OF falling barometer and other
conditions leading to more rain and
snow. The moon is on the celestial
equator on the 9th, increasing the prob
ability of warm rains and thunder
southwark, but turning to early snow
squalls later in the northern parts of
of the country.
The conjunction of the moon with
the sun on the 18th will precipitate the
change to warmer. Returning storms
OF rain and snow VIII pass across the
country from the 14th to the 18th. The
chances for heavy Autumnal gales ov
er the Lakes and North Atlantic are
many at this period. 1t is best to look
out for some early winter.
The Goth and 21st are central DAYS of
a reactionary time of Autumnal dis
turbances. There will be change to
warmer in the West about the 18th,
which will be followed by cloudiness
and rains, with sleet and snow in the
North, which will traverse the country
during the 20Oh to the 22nd. Look for
much seet at this time.
Some of the heaviest storms of the
month may be counted on during the |
Vulcan period central Oh the 18th. A |
cold wave will follow.
