committee.
 The President--Dces the daNtiA- suished gentleman from Mobile move for a certiorari to bring up the pa- pers? (Laughter.)
 Mir. Bruoks--I move this, Mir. Prcsi- dent: I move that the section which was adopted by the committees bs printed along with the other andI asix the Chairman of the Committee to state if I am not stating the facts as they are. -r
 Mr. Oates--Tbe delegate from Mobile states the fact substantially except m this. as to which think he is slight ty mistaken; that when the last vote was taken in the committee fv0ted against the striking out and putting aside of his proposition, stating at the time that could improve 1t thought, by making it brtefef. and therefore would vote against laying t aside. thought the delegate from Mobile ua- Cerstood and accepted this view, and that I was delegated by the committee to prepare e substitute. But, in order that ali differences may be set at rest, will ask that his ordinance, which was adopted by the committee, be printed along with the report. for the satisfaction of himself and others.
 While I think I drafted the section expressive of the substance of what was done by the committee. but in much briefer form. will ask, as the delegate from Mobile insists that his proposition ought to so before the Con- ventipn that hts ordinance, which the committee adopted in fact. be printed to follow this report. that he may have the benefit of it.
 Mir Nesmith-f voted against the or dinance of the gentleman from Mobile, and stated that would join in min- ority report. but 1 do not care to dis auss the matter, except to say if the ordinance is made a part of the com mittee's report would like to reserve the right to join In the minority re- port.
 Mir. Rogers (sumter)--I would like to ask the chairman of the committee a question. We are not to understand that you endorse the ordinance intro duced By the gentleman from Mobile, and the committee is further to under stand you are against the minority as to this ordinance in it's wurdBf
 Mr. oates---I stated the facts as to that. That this section was substsf- tially the same and would De acceptable to the gentleman from Mobile, and in the haste I did not have the time to submit 1t to him.
 Mir. Weatherly--Tne statement of tho Chairman of the Committee is correct. that the gentleman from Mobile con- scented that I might have an opportEn- ity to present a minority report.
 Mf. Macdonald--1 am c member of the Committee on Legislative Depart ment. and the gentleman from Mobile Is wholly correct m his statement as to what occurred in the cesnmsttss In reference to the adoption oe his 0fdin- ea w Asaa posed by the gentleman from Mobile contained c number of facts, or state ments-- Att-l
 Mfr. Reese--I rise to a point Of eeder.
 The President--The gentleman will state the point of order.
 Mir. Reese-The gentleman Is out of order.
 The President--The Chair will sus- tain the point of order. The coaaiaera. tion of the report of the Committee on Executive Department Is not in order at this time. All the objections made. go to impending the report, and the Chair is unable to rule on auestionD that are outside of the report prima facie the report Is the report of the committee.
 Mir. Macdohaid-wiii the Chair per- init one word? It has been atmted by the chairman of the Committee utas this is not the action of the committee, MT. Reese--I renew my point of order.
 The President-The point of order is | sustained.
 Mir. Brooks-f' ask the fnduigenee oe the Convention just one moment Mfr. Waddeii-~T insist upon the point of order. Mir. President.
 Mfr. Brooks-To say that the chair man of the Committee himself haA aa= Inltted that the report IS not what was passed by the Committee.
 Mr. Weetherly-I Insist upon the Chair rulinA upon the point Of 1Fsef.
 MT. iBrooks-The Chairman of the Committee has himself asked that the ordinance submitted by myself be printed
 Mr. waddell--I gave the cor to the distinguished gentleman from Mont gomery-
 The President--rhe question is on the motion of the gentleman from Montgomery that the report lie upon the table and that time be allowed for e minority report
 MT. Merrill--I move as q substitute for that that the report be recomnit- ted to the committee for the purpose of settling the difficulty that seems to exist.
 Mir. Oates-I hope that motion will not prevailS--
 The President--The motion to recom- init is not In order at this time. &he report of the Committee Is not before the Convention for reconsideration. Mir. Oates--r will say in order to set- tie this, as the delegates are so much dissatisfied about the report, when it comes up I will give them an oppor- tunity to move to strike out what is put In there and offer his proposi- ton
 The President-The Chair has sus- tained the point of order that this matter is not open to discussion. The Chair is compelled to receive the re- port, which is prima facle the report of the Committee. If the gentlemen desire to impeaeh 1t as the report of the Committee, they win have to find some other method of doing so, when the report comes up for confederation.
 Mir. Brooks-Do understand then that this Committees report as 10 Is. is to be printed. and not a correct rep- resentation of what passed In the Com mittee? That this be printed and that which did pass the Commiuee will mot be printed7 Do understand that to be the effect of 1t?
 The President--The effect will be that the report of the Committee as made by It's chairman will lay upon the table and be printed as the report of the Committee.
 Mir. Notwithstanding the statement of the chairman himself that my proposition should be printed along with n. Is 1t not competent for him to make that request?
 The President-It is competent ana
