 Mr. Brooks-I desire to call attenkiou to the fact that while . motion to xefer . not debatable. yet 1t is within t11 power sf the President to allow of ouG~ client debate as to why 1t sh0u14 or to allow him to determine that Queo- ton. I think K the President win ro~ siect he will see the propriety.
 The President--Wili the gen119mon refer the Chair to the rulef
 MT. Brooks--Thsre ts no speciaI rule-
 The ffesident-yThs recofiecc1on ok the Chair Is that all ordinances when introduced will be referred without debate.
 MT. Brooks--But 1t Is in the province of the Chair to allow of suf1ctent de- hate to see to what Committes it should so.
 The President--It seems to the Chair the question to refer would not bs d4-I batable.
 Mir. Jones (Montgomsry,- -rhsn rins to . question of privilege.
 The Prssident--The gsntIenaa VIII state the question. Hr. Jones-It has bssn charaeA n the debate that the Committee e1 Whioh have the honor to be ChAirman hos been hiding out or piseenheiine resoiu- tom. have right to mako . stato- ment as to that.
 The President--It does not seem e the Chair that that is . Questi0n ee perso1af privile9s, "
 Mir. Jones eAentgomsry)--IThsn ' make another point: The Chair alloW- ed the gentleman to speak and have all the advantags of debate and novoe called him to order and submit undne those clrcumstauccs if the Chafrn,sfn has not an equitable right to c ha heard.
 The PresiAsnt---Tne Chair did not ee11 the gentleman from Chsmhern q order and wouId net call the eentIe- man from Montgomery to order uniess delegates raise the question. ThAn the Chair s compelled to.
 MT. kirkiand--r desire to wftnoraw the objection iaterpcsed to hsarine the gentleman from Montgomery.

 The President-The questfen nexv n.. lore the Convention is on the reference or the order introduced by the Renfie. man from Chambers.
 Mr. Jones tMontsemery)--I rnove fo amend that by referring 1t to tho Csrn- mIttee on the Executive Dspartrnsnt.

 MT. Reese--I move to lay the amend. ment on the table.
 Ar. Long eWalkerl--I riss to. q point af order. A mere motion to refer ta < Committee is not subject to amena- ment. II Ia question which shouIa be left to the President,

 oir. Hinson-I rise to a point oe order.
 The Presidens--The gentleman au state the point.
 Mfr. Hinson-As I understand the rule. I objected ts the further con- alteration of the question ,and | did # upon authority of Rule 15 of Robert'a Rules of Order. My idea in maxlnr that objection is that we haev discuss- cd this question as long as necessary and the rnle reads like this--
 The PFesident-The ordinance ia not up for consideration now. The only question is the question of references. The Chair would over- rule the point of order.
 MT. Reese-I move fo table the mos ton of the gentleman from Montgom- cry.
 A vote being taken the motion to table was lost. and a further vote being taken on the amendment of the dele- gate from Montgomery (Nr. Jonesl on a division. there were 6z eyes and 44 noes.
 So the amendment was adopted.
 A further vote being taken the mo- tton as amended was carried, and the ordinance was referred to the Commit tee on the Executive Department.
 Mr. Long (Walker)-If am in order I move that the Executive Department be requested to report this ordfnapCs one way or the other and not to let it sleep there and die as all other similar have done
