It being then o'clock the convention took up the question of the solicitorship, the article on Judiciary having been recon- sIdered this morning and set for a special order at 4 o'clock.
 Considerable discussion ensued as to the parliamentary status of the article. A motion had been made to recommit the article to the committee and the point of order had beein made that the article 2 having been read the third time and en- grossed, Could not be amended and there fofe it was useless to recpmmit. MT. Sanford argued that the article could be recommitted with or without instructions.
 Govyernor Oates said that after the third reading and engrossment a bill could not be recommitted in the absence of express rule authorizing 1t.
 Dr. Cunningham said that when an ar ticle was ordered engrossed it was proof that the convention was satisfied with ,lit.f A motion to reconsider which was all ways in order had been made to recon slider this vote and failed. Under the rules this could not be done twice and the only question now before the con- teiltion was the adoption or rejection of the article.
 General Harrison of Lee argued that rule of the convention was broad enough to authorize a recommitment after a third reading and engrossment.
 President Knox ruled that it was not and that the article having been en- crossed and ordered to a third reading t was too late to be amended or recom- mitted.
 MT. Hefin of Chambers then moved to table the article as reported by the committee and adopted. An aye and nay vote was demanded on this which result was demanded. which which rselted in the . was. demanded which resulted in the vote being 55 to 5.
 Various Motions.
 Mir Lowe of Jefferson moved that the committee on judiciary be constituted to report the ordinance referred to them which changed the section in the judi ciary article providing for county sicitors and fixing their election by the Legisla- ture. Several motions and points of or der were here made and no action was taken on this morning.
 Mir. Wilson of Clarke moved that his motion to reconsider the vote whereby section of tn article on municipal cor porations was adopted be taken from the table.
 MT. Milson of Clarke had offered sub stitute to authorize the Legiselature to rekuire privilege tox from express com panies, sleeping car companies and simi- lar corporation and to pevent any munic- qualities from levying a similar tax on such corporations.
 MT. Weakley, chairman of the com mittee on municipal corporations, sup ported the section as reported
