something of a speech while the Staun-
ton member mad the floor. Finany Judge
Quarles said he cd not object to inter
ruptions, but he hardly thought it fair
for the delegate from Chesterfield to
eject a speech into the one he (Mr.
Quarles) was making. Judge Hancock
made a reply very similar to the one he
had made TO Mr.. Glass. Judge Quarles

speeches appeared long to the gentleman
from Chesterfield. The gcntiemans long

MR. PETIT RESUMES.
/ The convention then went into Commit

/ the Committee on Education, Mr.. Parks
in the chair.
Mr. Petit resumed his argument, begun
Tuesday, in advocacy of his amendment
