As Mr. Holcombe uttered the closing sentence (the eloquent language of which we but faintly portray,) there was a spontaneous outburst of applause, and the Chairman promptly gave the order for clearing the lobby and gallery. Mr. Ambler, of Louisa, appealed to the Chair to withdraw the order. Mr. Sheffey, of Smythe, said there was as much applause on the floor of the Convention as any where else. The Chairman said he had indicated his course yesterday, and had given ample caution in regard to these disturbances. He was satisfied that there was some applause on the floor of the Convention; but the members had adopted rules for their own government, and he had no right to go beyond those rules. It was his duty,
erence propositions, nor did he think less of them than heretofore. Mr. Wise replied, arguing that the two propositions — that of the Peace Conference and that of the committee — were not the same, but that the former had undergone essential changes. The question was then put on the motion to strike out the report of the Committee and insert the substitute offered by Mr. Carlile, and resulted as follows: Year.--Messrs.

Mr. Ambler, of Louisa, desired to correct, in the Journal of yesterday, the record of the point of order which had been decided against him. Mr. Price, of Greenbrier,me specified, gave an explanation of the circumstances under which the decision was rendered. The correction asked for, was ordered to be made, after which Mr. Ambler made a similar request with regard to another portion of the Journal, which was refused by a vote of the Committee.

That hereafter no member in the Committee of the Whole shall be allowed to speak more than once upon the same preposition. Mr. Conrad called the previous question, which was sustained. The rule allowing members to speak ten minutes, Mr. Ambler, of Louisa, asked if there was any mode by which a minority might place on record their protest against the application of the gag? The President knew of none. Mr. Morton, of Orange, entered his solemn protest against the spirit of tyranny endeavored to be practiced over the minority, which he compared to the tyranny exercised by the North. He condemned it as an act which ought to be held up to the indignant condemnation of every freeman of this Commonwealth. There were disting
