Mr. Dent moved to strike out the words "and no other
officer of the general staff of the militia shall receive sal-
ary or pay, except when in service and mustered in with
troops. "
The amendment was rejected.
Section 3 was then read:
"The existing militia law of the State shall expire at
the end of the next session of the General Assembly, ex-
cept so far as it may be re-enacted. "
Mr. Dent moved to strike out the entire section, which
was disagreed to.
The report was then ordered to be engrossed for a
third reading.
Mr. Dobbin read a letter from the clerk of the Court of
Appeals stating that injustice had been done him by the
statement made in debate yesterday that he had neglected
to respond to the order of the Convention for a state-
ment of the revenue of his office. Mr. Earle states that
the report called for was made to the Convention more
than a month ago, and that he has also at all times fur-
nished members of the Convention individually with any
information they might desire.
Mr. Dobbin said he cordially endorsed the statement of
Mr. Earle.
The Convention then adjourned.
FIFTY-EIGHTH DAY.
ANNAPOLIS, MONDAY, JULY 29.
The Convention met at 10 o'clock. Prayer by Rev. Mr.
Henderson.
The following, submitted on Saturday last by Mr. Car-
ter, was taken up:
Ordered, That on and after Tuesday, July 30, 1867,
those articles of the constitution which have been ordered
to be engrossed for a third reading shall be taken up on
their third reading in the proper order, at 10. 30 A. M., at
which hour the said articles shall be the order of the day,
and shall have precedence over all other business until 12
o'clock M.
