 and whereas. 1t Is contrary to the pol | icy of this government that any part | of the powers of our department should be exercised by an officer of another l department. and whereas. it Is con- | trary to the spirit of our institutions | that any person should be punished -e ore trigI.
 | Now. therefore, be 1t ordained by | the people of Alabama in Convention assembled. That the following part of | Section 2S of Article V, adopted by this Convention. be and the same is l hereby annulled to wit: And the Governor. when satisfied after hearing | the Sheriff. that he should be impeach- ed, may suspend him from office until the impeachment proceedings are de- cided."
 MT. Hood--I now move that the ortii- | nance and report of the Committee be-
 printed and lie upon the table and be l considered in the order of it's being reported.
 The motion was carried. The President-The regular order will be the consideration of the report of the Committee on Local Legislation. MT. Dent-I have an amendment to | Section 4. which was under discussion when we adjourned, and I send it up. Mir. ONeal-I rise to make an in- | quiry. Do we take up where we stop ped on yesterday, or do we take up | the first motion to reconsider. The Presidential seems to the Chair l that when the Convention reconsiders | the part that has been acted upon, we will properly go back. A part of sub | division twenty-six was transposed to | the end of the section. That was with | drawn by the Committee, and added at | the end of the Section, to which there were one or two amendments offered. MT. Watts-The Chair is a little in | error. MT. Jones of Hale, moved to re- | consider subdivision 23, which was
 granted by the Convention, and 1t scenes to me that we ought to dispose of his subdivision 23. before we go to 26. " The President-The Chair did not in- tend to take 1t up in any other order. but the Chair was trying to correct | misapprehension in reference to sub | division 26. The Chair understands
 that that part of subdivision 26 was | withdrawn. and added at the end of section 1. Is the Chair correct about
 that?
 MT. O'Neal-The Chair Is correct. l The President-The question will be
 on the adoption of amendment of sub
 division 2S.
 Mir. Jones (Hale)-I have a substj
 ute, which has been accepted by the | committee.
 The substitute was read as follows:
 Increasing the jurisdiction and fees of justices of the peace or the fees of
 constables"
 MT. Jones CHale)-I move the adop,
 tion of the amendment.
 MT. Watts-As an amendment to
 that. I move that Subdivision 2s be SI.l -~I. All.
 words Jurisdiction or.'
 The President-The gentleman will
 have to put his amendment in writing.
 MT. O'Neal-That will destroy the
 meaning of 1t.
 MT. Sanders-I call for the previous
 question on the substitute offered by
 the gentleman from Hale.
 The main question was ordered. upon
 the substitute and the subdivision. and
 upon further vote being taken. the
 substitute was adopted. Upon fur
 ther vote the subdivision as amended
 was adopted.
 The President-The question is on
 Subdivision B.
 what the Convention persists in calling
 Section 26. It is the last part of Sec
 ton 1.
 MT. Dent-Is the section that was
 reconsidered now under consideration
 Mir. O'Neal-It commences after Sub division 26 in the report MT. Dent-Beginning mo special law"
 The President-To what purpose does the gentleman from Barbour rise? Mir. Dent-I rise for the purpose of making a motion. I want to preface 1t with some remarks, if this matter Is
 up for consideration.
 The President-To what does the mo-
 ton relate? MT. Dent-It relates to this part of Section 3S, believe you call it.
 The President-The Convention did
 not reconsider Section B
 MT. Dent-That part of Section 70 which was reconsidered beginning with . the words "No special law" and end ing with the word general law" The President--There are some pend
 ing questions in reference to that, and 7 the Chair will have to state them to the Convention. The gentleman from : Limestope moved to amend the last r paragraph. The Secretary will read } the paragraph and pending amend r ments.
 The subdivision was read. Tine President-There Is a point of l order made by the gentleman from } Chambers. which will have to be ruled
 on.
 [ Mir Harrison-1 rise to a parliament tary inquiry.
 The President-The gentleman will state the question of inquiry. MT. HarriSon--This amendment was l offered. immediately after the motion l to reconsider Soon after l took the floor, and the question was raised thaS 7 1t was all out of order. and 1 had
 to yield the floor under that ruling and I submit that if it. was all out of order these amendments are not properly be- fore the Convention. Mir. Wilson (Clarke)-A point of or der The Convention received the amendments.
 The Presidential seems to the Chair that the point of order Is well taken. | that the amendments were not in or der at the time.
 Mir. Sanders-I now offer the amend
 ment I offered. :- MT. Wilson (Clarke)--I offer the
 amendment to the amendment offered
 by the gentleman from Limestone.
 MT. Harrisou-I rise to q point of order. The delegate from Barbour had the floor. and was in reality not out of order on the proposition on which the Chair now changes i.s ruling. and he is entitled 10 the floor and not the gen : tlemen offering the amendments. , MT. Dent-If I had the floor I would like to hold it. if l am entitled to it., 1 Win the Chair hear with mo a mo-
