Mr. SCHLEY again moved to reconsider the
vote by which the Convention agreed to strike
out the proposition of Mr. CHAMBERS, and on
this motion demanded the previous question.
Mr. MAGRAW moved that the Convention do
now adjourn.
Mr. GWINN demanded the yeas and nays on
the motion.
Mr. BLAKISTONE. I rise to a question of order.
The gentleman from Washington, (Mr. |
Schley,) made his motion before the motion to
adjourn was made, upon which I called the pre-
vious question. The gentleman from Carroll,
(Mr. Brown,) then made a motion to adjourn,
which was disagreed to. Now another motion
is made to adjourn, without any intervening bus-
iness between the two motions to adjourn.
The PRESIDENT. The gentleman from Wash-
ington was not recognised by the chair,
Mr. CHAMBERS, of Kent. Let us go on, we
can afford to play this game until midnight.
Mr. MAGRAW. I wish to know what game I
am playing?
Mr. BLAKISTONE. I call the gentleman to
order. On a motion to adjourn no debate can be
entertained.
Mr. MAGRAW. I should like to know what
game I am playing?
Mr. BLAKISTONE. I call the gentleman to or-
der. A motion to adjourn is not debateable.
The yeas and nays were then ordered on the
motion to adjourn, and being taken resulted as
follows:
Affirmative—Messrs. Sellman, Brent of Charles,
Jenifer, Howard, Buchanan, Bell, Welch, Chan-
dler, Ridgely, Lloyd, Dickinson, Sherwood of

So the Convention refused to adjourn.
The demand for the previous question was
then seconded.
The question then recurred upon the motion
of Mr. SCHLEY, to reconsider the vote of the
Convention on the amennment offered by Mr.

city of Baltimore.
