IKE notice given by Mr.. Blair yeSted DAY

resolution THAT when the convention ac-
journs Tuesday next, lit, DE for a TIME III
the future 10 be ii.>.d by the prrs-dent,
lias served to cause members TO examine
mUre Glossy mo the SUBJECT.
The result Is an almost universal opl.i-
ion among those VINO were seen last night
tuat the convention should take d recess,
ana let the Committee on RcvlSlon ana
Adjus lment take the tweniv or thirty.
days time the Legislature was in Session
to do its work, winch cannot possibly be
completed in less time.
Among those VINO strongly favor a
recess welc found Messrs. Glass,
Lowell, Portiock, Boaz LINDSAY, Turn
bull, Barbour, B.air, Green, Brooke, An
derson, Gordon and many others.
There is liLtle DOUBT that recess Will
be taken The time of its b. ginning
seems to depend on when the report on
corporations can be completed II vote
can be be reached on any section to-day,
and it is a decisive one either way, it wall
clear up the matter very materially.
In all the discussion t.Lere has been no
fear expressed of friction with the Legs
lature. but there is undoubtedly a convic-
ION that the Legislature should not be
hammered or embarrassed in its work b..
the presence Of one hundred men engaged
AT tie same time in an entirely different
character Of parliamentary duties.
Mr.. HON, who was too worn out
"Wednesday to begin his great argument
was able to do SO yesterday and was
plainly under the weather, ana at ols-
advantage owing to this.
SIr. Braxton did manage to begin, but
had to give up in an hour, and was not
able to continue in the afternoon. Latest
reports from him last night were to the
effect that he would be out this morn
ing unless he grew worse during the
night.
Judge D. W. Bolen, of Carroll county,
the r,oet-laureate Of the convention, is
himself again, after his long illness. lie
is as chirpy as he was be1ore ne was
taken sick. and almost every day lie writes
on some. subject.
Yesterday Colonel Button asked him -
write in his autograph album. Here is
what he wrote:
Good Buttons are of various size,
Some take the place Of hooks and eyes;
On softest cambria. trimmed in lace,
a button finds q useful place.
Some sit on broadcloth, silk and Gauze.
And others button in the laws"
Hon. Z. NJ. AIcPeal, member OF the
House of Delegates from Carroll county,
passed through the city yesterday, en-
route for West Virginia. where he goes

much The error was no reflection upon
Mr.. Brenaman, for the fugitive is q man
