 derelict. It belonged to the Article or Impeachment and l raise the point t.la' | 1t. became an amendment to the Arti-
 cle on 1mpeachments and the Article
 having been ordered to a third read. ! ing and engrossment you cannot re- | consider 1t without reconsiderins the 1 ordering to engrossrnent and thirs l reading. and that Is too late. The President-The Chair will over' ruie the point of order. In the opinion | of the Char |. is perfectly competent for this Convention to pass an irde' pendent ordinance as for instance the ordinance providing for pay of mem- bers and many other ordinances. some of which have passed, Gpd an ord nance providing for the settlement of the State debt. MT. O'Neal-The rules require all "r- ditarces to have headings and to state what articles of the Constitution IL goes under. ask the Clerk 70 read that and see what head it goes under. I call attention to that rule. The Pres dent-The Chair will over- rule the point of order. MI. Hood-I want to make mo- tion that we talk up this matter and dispose of 1t now. MT. Jones-What matter? MT. Hoed-This ordinance we have just reconsidered.
 The President-The gentleman from Etowah moves that we proceed to the immediate consideration of the Article pI C yidirg for the impeachment of sher- ifs.
 Mir. O'Neal-I move 10 lay the mo- ton on the table. Upon a vote being taken, the motion to table was lost. The Preside nt-The question Is now upon the motion of the gentleman from Etowah to take up for consideration the ordinance relating to impeachmen Upon a vote being taken, the motion was carried.
 Mir. Hood-I move the adoption of the ordinance, and upon that motion call for the previous question. MT. Espey-I understand an aye and no vote Is demanded.
 The President-The rules would re- quire an aye and no vote.
 MT. Hood-I call for the reading Of the ordinance.
 The Secretary read the ordinance as follows:
 Whereas, Ample provision is made by law for the impeachment of officers, and
 Whereas, IL Is contrary to the policy of this Government that any part of the powers of one department should be exercised by an officer of another department; and
 Whereas, It is contrary to the spirit of our institutions that any person should be punished before a trial.
 Now therefore be it ordained by the people of Alabama in Convention as- sembled, That the following part of Section 28 of Article ", adopted by this Convention, to wit: And the Governor when satisfied after hearing the Sheriff, tha. he should he i'm peached, may suspend him from office urtil the impeachment proceedings are decided"
 The Presldent-The question will be rron the passage of the ordinance.
 MT. Jones-Upon that l ask for the ayes and noes.
 The Preside nt-The rules require a vote by ayes and noes.
 Mir. Browne-The gentleman from Etowah calls for the previous ques- tion, and an aye and no vote is not necessary on that.
 The President-The attention of the Chair is called to the fact thar the mo- ten for the previous question mas not been put.
