This led to more p rot raced difcns.'ion,during which n great variety of opinions were expressed, and a nntnber of mo tions made and amendments'offered. Th'? committee having retired, it was moved that t!.,' Convention take a recess for twenty minutes. This was voted down amid much laughter as if it was very funny.

The proceedings nt this stage were character ized by some irregularity and great want of dignity ? The secretary pro. tciu., evidently desirous of preventing the convention from exposing itself to further ridicule, moved that the convention t ko a reecss for three quarters of an hour, and for tho information ol' tho ignorant, he ex plained that tliiiti quarters of an hour meant, forty-live.minutes.
