At ten minutes past twelve "o'clock, T. Hur

called the Convention to.tordoryaiid roimdsted

the spectators to '-withdrawwithout the bar?

were requested to press themselves around the
tables "prepared-for them." riTho plain delegate
from Deikely thus brought the convention, to

be; regarded as'the fuuny man or harlequin of
the body;

This ?motion gave Vise to great discussion.
It was finally agreed that the chair should
appoint a committee on certificates of identifi

lie was of opinion that' ft'1 great deal 6f (lu- sue
cops and influence of the 'body' would dopend
upon tho administration of'thc president of (he
convention, and he wanted ahiplc time given
to tile members to make a Vise choice
L. E.'ltfingley, delegate froui Beaufort,'but
a woollydicadod'negro' froin tnb North, here
suggested that the'tfohventloh1 Was ttbt in a
condition to organize, as there was no telling
whether the members who* nhswercd ' their
nniu.es ' Were the ? real members' hi not," and he
thought that the members ought to bo idettti
fied in 'sc>mo way. This led to -more prot raced
discussion; during which a1 groat variety of
olJinlons^WcroJciq^rcssedJ and a -'number of mor
tions made and amendments' offered.' '-'
Til'-; committee having'retired, it was moved
tliat'tlie 'convention' take a recess for twenty
minutes. This was voi?t! 'down amid much
laughter as if it was very funny' There'buing
nothing else to do, a member 'suggested that
the chairman pro. tcui. enteffaih the convention
with a speech during the absence of tho com
mittee. The chairman hot consenting to this
pastime, various suggestions wore made for dif
ferent members to speak,'but 'none accepted.
The proceedings at this stage wero character
ized by some irregularity and 'great want of
dignity '(
The secretary pro. teni., evidently desirous of
preventing the convention from exposing'itself
