 point of order to make anything spe- cial order, after we have gone Into he consideration of 1t. Now then It was displaced at o'clock by the spe- cfal order, that was voted for by ths House on yesterday. That was right and proper, but If 1t can be displaced now by a motion to make special or der then It would be impossible to ever reach 1t unless by unanimous consent of the delegates here, and we could never reach vote.
 The President-The gentleman from Clarke madu his motion; 1t was in or der before the Convention, and the Chair merely held up the ruling on 1t, and 1t seems to the Chair the motion would have precedence, and that the Chair ought not by merely withholding a ruling make him lose It's place. The Chair will entertain the motion, and then take up the point of the gentleman from Walker.
 MT. wilson-I moved immediately af-. ter the disposition of the motion to re- consider the vote whereby this Article was ordered to a third reading, and en- grossment, that the reconsideration of Section ( be made the special order.
 The Presidential is moved to recon sider the vote whereby Section was adopted, or laid on the table?
 MT. wilson--I move that 1t be made the special order for reconsideration immediately after the determination of this matter, of a motion to reconsider the vote whereby the Article was or- dered to a third reading.
 The Presidential the opinion of the Chair 1t is not in order to reconsider a vote whereby Section was laid upon the table.
 MT. wilson, did not intend to re- consider the vote whereby 1t was laid on the table, but to reconsidr the vote whereby 1t was adopted. Tn other words, to take from the table, and to make 1t the special order for consider ation as soon as this other question Is disposed Of.
 The President-The gentleman from Clarke moves to take from the table Section. Do understand that to be he motion?
 MT. Wilson-I move to make that mat ter a special order.
 MT, O"Neal-what matter? Mir. wilson-The motion for recon sideration of Section 6. The President-Was the Section adopted or laid on the table? Mir. O'Neal-It was laid on the table. MT. wilson-1t was adopted. The Presidential was adopted. MT. wilson, move that. the special order immediately after the determine ton of the motion to reconsider the vote whereby the Article was ordered to a third reading and engrossment.
 The Presidential is moved by the gentleman from Clarke, that the mo- ton to reconsider the vote whereby Section 6 of the Article on Municipal Corporations was made a special order, be considered immediately after the consideration of the motion to recon slider the vote whereby the Article was ordered engrossed and to third read ing.
 MT. O'Neal--I rise to a point of or der. Section 6 was adopted. The gen. tleman made a motion to reconsider. That motion was laid on the table. Now insist 1t is out of order to make a special order to reconsider vote by which a motion was laid on the table. The motion to reconsider has'been made and laid on the table.
 The Presidential is not in order for the gentleman now again to make a motion to reconsider the vote whereby Section 6 was adopted.
 Mir Wilson, am not doing that, Mir. President. That is the very point
 which the Chair has had under advise
 ment three days, and has held that | can do--
 The Presidential seems to the Chair l that the gentleman from Clarke con- | frses a motion to reconsider the vote | whereby the section was adopted, with | a motion to take from the table, a | motion by him to reconsider the vote | whereby the section was adopted. The
 Chair recoliects that he entered his
 motion to reconsider, and 1t was laid
 upon the table.
 MT. Wilson-Yes, sir.
 The President-Tht the proper par | lis mentary motion would be to take from the table the motion to reconsider | Now If the gentleman enters that mo- l tion and moves to make it the special order, after the consideration of the
 motion to reconsider the vote whereby this article was ordered engrossed and | to the third reading | Mir. WilsonlThat Is exactly the mo- | ticn.
 | The President - The gentleman
 orc pred the first part of the motion, | lMr. Wiison--That Is what 1 was try
 ing tc say.
 The President-Now. then, is the | Convention ready for the question. | The question was called for. | The I'resident--As many as favor the
 motion to make this motion of the gea- tlemen from Clarke to take the motion | to recor slider the vote whereby Section 1 6 was adopted from the table the spe- | cial order to be considered immediately | after the consideration of his motion | to reconsider the vote whereby the ar 1 ticle on municipal corporations was or- 1 dered to a third reading. will say aye
 and those opposed no.
 | Upon a vote being taken a division
 was called for, and by vote or 3l ayes | and 10 noes the motion was lost. l Mir. Wi son-Then desire to be heard
 briefly on the motion to reconsider the vote whereby the article was ordered enRrossed and to third reading. MT. Long (Wslker)--I make the point | of order that the gentleman cannot do l that until after the matters before the | Convention have been disposed of MT. Wilson-'rhis was d privilege mo- ton. It was entered on the very day | that the order was granted. and went over until the next day, and it's regular order would have been immediately
 after the reading of the Journal on the | next day.
 The President-The Chair will over rule the point of order. It .eems to the | Chair that this motion to reconsider.
 which was entered first would have | precedence to a motion insisted on by
 the gentleman from Walker. MT. Wilson--My purpose in moving to
 reconsider this article Is in order to
 offer an amendment to the article
 which in my judgment will take from
 Section the objectionable feature Of
 1t. Section 6 of the article as adopted
