 MT. O'Neal-On yesterday l offered an amendment which the Chair ruled out of order on the ground the con vention had already acted on the same proposition when the report Of the Committee On Executive Department was under consideration. l desire to call the attention of the Chair to the proposition which was under consider ation. In the report of the Executive Department, Section 20. are the follow ing words: The Governor shall not ap- point any member of the General As sembly during the term for which he shall have been elected to any office. v O nor to appoint any member of the General Assembly. whether It was an office of profit or trust or not. Under that prohibition. he could not appoint a member of the legislature to an ofnce of honor. Now, the provision in Sec tion 16 Is No Senator or Representa- tive shall. during the term for which he shall have been elected. be appoint ed to any office of profit under this State" Now, if we concede that the Chair is correct in his ruling on the point of order, to which l beg to dis sent, that the House cannot act twice on the same amendment, I submit re- spectfully to the Chair that this Is an entirely new proposition. The House declined to accept the amendment, de- clined to adopt this provision because it was far reaching in its effects and prevented the Governor appointing . member of the General Assembly to a small office of honor in this State-the office of notary public, or commission CT to represent the State at some in- dustrial exposition, or any position of honor
 Mir. Harrison-I rise to state that gentlemen in this neighborhood do not hear a word that the gentleman is say ing.
 Mir Waddell-I rise to a point of par liamentary inquiry.
 The President-State the point of parliamentary inquiry.
 MT. Waddell-The question before the House? We cannot hear.
 The President-The gentleman Is ap- plying for a re-hearing. -' MT. O'Neal-Appealing for a re-hear- ing from the Chair.
 Mr Boone-Will the re-hearing take the usual course?
 The Presidential all probabi MT. O'Neal-Now. the Chair on yes- | terday. as state. held the amendment l offered was identical with the amend ment or proposition which this House l had voted down when the report of the | Committee on Executive Department was under consideration. The Section in the report of the Executive Depart ment, on which this Convention has acted. was in the following language The Governor shall not appoint any member of the General Assembly du' ring the term for which he shall have been elected to any office- i MT. Bulger-I rise to point of order The President-The gentleman will state the point of order.
 MT. Bulger-There Is no pending ques- tion before the House. There is no mo tion under which the gentleman car make a speech or argument.
 MT. O'Neal-Does the gentleman sa, have no right to call the attention of the Chair to the facts in reference to a proposition before the House? Int Chair on yesterday ruled two amend ments were identical. and the Chair dit not have the two articles at the time and I know if the Chair was mistaken he would correct himself. The Chair did not have the benefit of the two amendments. and want to call the at tention of the Chair to the fact tha' the amendments are entirely different
 MT. Bulger-I insist on the point oi order. there Is nothing before thu House. The gentleman has made nc motion. nor does he rise to a question of personal privilege to allow him tt take up the time of this Convention il speech this morning.
 The President-The Chair would b' pleased to hear the gentleman from Lauderdale. the Chair Is always glac to hear him. but it seems to the Chail that the point of order is>wcll taken There is nothing before the Conven | ton.
 | Mr. O. 'Neal--My amendment is be | fore the Convention, Mir. P'esidep. and l ask the ruling of the Chair or thst proposition.
 The President-The Chair does TO unders tand that the gen-l.in m has re | offered the amendment.
 | NJ. ONeal-I offer :h, amendmen now. l desire to say that al the r'm' I had an opportunity of making repl! k. NHA fAk 70
