ond replied that the vast amount of suffering and destitution in his section of the State challenged the sympathy of this Convention and the State, but his fellow-citizens there did not intend to ask the State for help. If, however, any relief is to be given, let it be general. The ordinance was amended so as to inquire into the propriety of providing sustenance for all destitute refugees in localities where the means of the inhabitants are made adequate to furnish such relief. Mr. Sheffey favored a postponement of the question till to-morrow, so that we could raise the necessary amount by that time by private subscription. The question was taken on recommitting, with instructions to make the relief general — ayes 41; nays 35--no quorum. It was again tried, with the following result — ayes 53, nays 35--carried.

sine die. A resolution laid on the table last week, providing for an adjournment on Monday, 24th inst., was called up, but was subsequently withdrawn. Mr. Sheffey submitted a resolution, which was in substance that it is deemed inexpedient to make any reforms in our Constitution except to conform it to the Constitution of the Confederate States, instead of to that of the old United States. Mr. Sheffey contended that the Convention, having performed all the duties confided to it under the law authorizing its call, was now funcotus officio.--His resolution would, therefore, be a test as to the sense of the Convention in reference to the duration of t Convention; and it is due to that gentleman to add that he did so in a manner worthy the statesman and scholar. The main question was now ordered, namely; Mr. Sheffey's resolution providing that no change in the Constitution should be made except to conform it to the Confederate Constitution, and the ayes and noes taken.

o be refunded by the Confederate States, under the Convention of the 24th day of April, 1861; and in case the temporary connections aforesaid are made, then the authority given by this Ordinance to the companies aforesaid is hereby revoned." The foregoing substitute was offered by Mr. Slaughter, and was adopted by a vote--61 ayes, noes 20. An ordinance was then called up in regard to the calling out of the militia in portions of the State which may be invaded by the enemy. Mr. Sheffey opposed a reference to the Military Committee, on the ground that the people of the West are determined to rise up in their defence whenever invaded; but as they preferred to do so by legal authority, he hoped the ordinance would be passed at once and without any delay. In the course of the debate Mr. Garnett took occasion to pay his respects to the militia defenders of the State. If we have to depend on militia, he thought, we might as well give up the war at once.

Evening session. The Convention met at 5 o'clock, Mr. Southall in the Chair. On motion of Mr. Stuart, the report of the Committee on the amended Constitution of Virginia be made the order of the day to-morrow at 11 o'clock. Mr. Sheffey opposed this motion and called for the ayes and noes. The roll was called, and resulted — ayes 49, noes 25. No quorum. Mr. Baldwin remarked that he was tired of this "child's play." Members who were in the city and absented themselves from our sessions were guilty of a personal discourtesy to those who attended to transact public business, and should be brought to the Hall, neck and heels, if they could not be brought in any other way. The list of absentees was then called, and the Sergeant-at-Arms directed to produce absentees.

Mr. Sheffey offered the following as a competing proposition: "The Judges of the Supreme Court of Appeals shall be elected by a joint vote of the two Houses of the General Assembly, and shall hold their offices for fifteen years, or until removed in erein provided; and said Judges of the Supreme and Circuit Courts shall at the same time hold no other office, appointment, or public trust; and the acceptance thereof by either of them shall vacate his office." The vote was first taken on Mr. Sheffey's amendment and it was rejected — ayes 7, noes 88. The question recurring on Mr. Kent's amendment, it was lost — ayes 19 noes 70. Mr. Speed moved to amend the section by striking out the words "or until they arrive at the age seventy <
