| State to all the judges of courts ! ,vcord in Alabama, and to all the of- f dcers of such courts; and also to all l the State officers of Alabama and to l their employees; ands also to all mem | bers and employees of the future Legls- | iatures of this State; and also to all I delegates to any State Convention that 1 may be hereafter called in Alabama. MT. Opp-tDuring the reading Of the | above resolution) 1 rise to point oi order. I do not think this Conven- | ton ought to be made a dumping ground for all this rot. It is clearly out of order. and we ought not to be | forced to take up the time of the Con- | vention with it.
 MT. Fttts {Tuscaloosa)-The resolu- | ton offered by the gentleman from ] Cherokee has the same dignity as any resolution offered by any other dele gate on this floor, and think the Con- vention has a right to hear his views 1 as much as those of any other delegate
 to this Convention.
 | MT. Opp-I ask the ruling of the Chair on the point of order. President pro tem-The Chair does l not see that it Is entirely out of order. The Chair cannot so mold, and the point of order is therefore overruled. Mir. Durns-I suggest that you have | it read before you rule whether it Is out of order or not. LeeMs see what | 1t is.
 President pro tem-The Chair has already decided on the point of order. The resolution will be referred to the Committee on Corporations. Ntr. Coleman tGreene)-I prepared yesterday an ordinance to introduce this morning and left 1t in my book, but find now that 1t is gone. I have, however. hastily drawn one that will hying up the question.

 MT. Hefiin (Chambers)-I ask unani- nous consent to pass my call until the roll is completed.
 Objections were made.
 MT. Hef1in--Who was it that ob- jected?
 The President pro tem-The gentle man was nearer than I am. I did not distinguish just who it was. Some friend. I suppose.
 Mir. Waddell-I am one who objected. Mr. Hefin-I think that is about all the gentleman knows. Is how to object.
 MT. Miller (Wilcox)--I have a peti- ton.
