VOTE ON AMENDMENTS. Mr. Reid, from the Committee on Revision, submitted a report, offer ing a substitute for the ordinance in regard to submitting amendments adopted to the people. The substi tute provides that the amendments to this Constitution shall be submitted as a whole to the people at, the regu lar election in November 1876. Re turns to be made by sheriff within 20 days after the election to Chief Jus lice of the Supreme Court, and if a vacancy should be at that time in the office of Chief Justice, then to the Attorney General who shall count the votes for ratification or rejection, and ihtr Governor shall nroclaim thn re sult by proclamation, &c. On motion of Mr. Reid, the rules weie suspended and the matter was ' taken up. The substitute was adopt ed, and the ordinance as substituted .passed its second reading. On motion of Mr. Reid, the rules were suspended and the ordinance again taken up and ordered to be printed, and made special order for Saturday next, at 10 A. M. - Mr. Manning, of Chatham, from the Committee on "Privileges and Elections, submitted ' a majority re port in the Robeson county contest - case. 1 1 I (This report is a very voluminous one, and cannot be given in full as its importance demands. The report in substance recites that the contest ants, Messrs. McNeill and Norment, must have their right to the seats es tablished hy a comparison of the poll books, tfcc, and that all testimony in the case must be before the Commit tee, and prays the Convention to take such order as it - may deem necessary to jieet the ends of justice, and re c jmmeud that the resolution ousting the present incumbents, Messrs. Mo jEachin and Sinclair, do not pass. That the certificate of the Sheriff, made out a prima facie case for the incumbents, and that it is right for the contestants to refute this and es tablish their right to the seats. That there was no competent testimony before the Committee on this subject, &c. That the act of the assembly giving contested elections to the General Assembly, if upplicable to this case, has not been complied with by either the contestants or incumb ents. "This act does apply and the Convention must make rules to gov ern this case.) 1 j Mr. Chamberlain submitted a mi nority report, which sets forth that the contestants, Messrs. McNeill and Norment, are entitled to Abe seats on account of the refusal of the County Commissioners of Robeson county to count the legal vote of several town ships by which they (the contestants) w u!d have received a majority of all the votes cast, and the action of .the County - Commissioners in the imatter was a fraud, . On motion of Mr. Manning, of Chatham, both the reports of the ma .jority and minority were ordered to printed. Mr. Albertn moved to make the reports special order for Saturday at 12 M. ; Mr. Manning, of Chatham, moved t- :iim-iil die motion by making them special oitlor lor Tuesday at 11 A.M. '1 he yeas and nays were called and Mr. Manning's amendment wasadopt d by a vole of yeas 55, nays 54. Mr. Shepherd, from the Committee on Municipal Corporations, submitted a report. Mr. French, from the Committee on the Legislative Department, re ported favorably on an ordinance to create a Department of Agriculture. Mr. Vaughn, from the same com mittee, submitted a report offering substitutes for various ordinances. The following ordinances were ap propriately referred: j ; By Mr. Stalling, an ordinance to amend sec. 3, art. 5, providing a tax tut dog for the protection of sheep jiusbandry. ' " . 1" By Mr. Avery, ad ordinance to levy a lax to keep up ferries, bridges and j-oads; counties to levy' the tax. No persons but criminals to be compelled lo work the roads. .' . holden's disabilities. The ordinance to relive W. W. Uolden of his disabilities, incurred by sentence of court of impeachment was taken up as the unfinished busi ness of yesterday. The question recurred upon the sub statute offered yesterday by Mr. Avery. x mr. Aioertson said that his action no doubt gave the committee on the Judiciary Department a right to sup pose mat ne assented to it; but when tne committee discussed the matter he had not fully and clearly made up nis mina, Dut ne had done so now and that without consulting a single soul. iviter long and careful investigation and reflection, he had arrived at the conclusion that the passage of this or dinance would not be legislative with lative within the meaning of the re strictions thrown around this body by me act. caning it together. Mr. Has8ell regretted that so much time should have been lost in the dis cussion of this matter. He alluded to the remarks of Mr. Tourgee, made few days ago, in regard to the epithet "carpet-bagger," and said that Mr. Tourgee's blasphemy in likening him self to Jesus Christ, and calling the Son of God a carpet-bagger in J udea, laid that gentleman open to be called peremptorily to order. Mr. Hassell then sketched the record of Mr. Holden as far as the crimes proposed to be pardoned, and while he thought this Convention had no power to pass this ordiuence, and though Holden was a double traitor to the United States and to the State of North Carolina, he was a pardon man, and would vote to amend the constitution so as to make provision for the pardon of such cases. Mr. Barringer said that he thought that Mr. Albertson had assented to the report of the Committee on the the Judicial Department. He cer tainly did, and regretted that nothing in that gentleman's remarks had shaken his opinion that the Conven tion had no power to pass this ordi nance. -Personal considerations made him reluctant to oppose this measure, and if we had the power he would favor the same, but upon public grounds he could not support this or dinance. Gov. Holden had commit ted a fatal and irretrievable error. and he did not iuterpose his personal and official influence and authority against the outrage perpetrated by the Legislature of 18G8-'G9. Mr. Holden was warned by a committee of men of his own party, consisting of himself (Mr. Barringer) and two others, who waited upon and implored and warned him of the course he was pursuing. Mr. Young urged the ordinance. He appealed to delegates to pass this ordinance as a matter of generosity. Mr. Clingman would not say what would be his action if he thought the Convention had the power to pass it. He went on to illustrate by analogies why the power to pass this ordinance did not reside in the Convention in view of the surrounding circum stances. Mr. Stallings said he was a mem ber of the same chureh as Gov. Hol den and was a personal friend of his, but he was not . here to be in fluenced by personal consideration. He had taken an oath to observe the restrictions thrown around this Con vention by act of the Assembly, and did not think this ordinance could be passed consistently with that oath. He would favor amendment giving the Legislature the power to pardon cases of tnis kind. But he would say, that as long as Mr. Hol den's friends placed the passage of this ordidance on the ground of right and impeach the justice of the sen tence of the court of impeachment in condemnation of the crime of this man, he would not remove those disa bilities if he had the power. O'Hara, col., spoke in favor of the ordinance. Mr. Tourgee occupied the floor re pelling the opprobrium with which gentlemen used the word "carpet bagger." Mr. Buxton regreted that the de bate on the question should have drifted into crimination. He had hoped that it would be confined with in legitimate limits. He thought the Convention had a right to pass the ordinance, and should do it as an act of magnanimity and mercy, &e. He admitted that Gov ernor Holdep did violate the Consti tution, and did not impeach the jus tice of the judgment of the court of impeachment; therefore he asked not for justice but mercv. Mr. Durham moved to aajonrn un til to-morrow at 10 A. M. On the call of Mr. Jarvis the yeas and nays were had and the motion to adjourn was adopted Dy a vote oi yeas 57, nays 30. Adjourned.

Cornet PTeaeut Tlie ountlful ; B(- The Wilmington Cornet Concert Club, of this city, which left here on Wednesday' evening for (he purpose of being present at a grand Grangers' pic-nic at New Baltimore, near Marion, S. C. , on Thursday,- returned yesterday morning; . -- r- f The pic-nic; - which was . given by New Baltimore Grange, was a most complete and decided success, commencing at It . o'clock in the morning and continuing, until 7 o'clock in the evening. The crowd present, which was variously estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000 persons, including a large number of ladies, was addressed by Col: W. S. Mullins and -others. The repast provided for i he occasion was simply immense, in both quantity and quality, and did great credit to the ladies,' as well as to Mr. E. J. Moody, of Marion, and other members of the Committee charged with looking after this important part of the proceedings. Messrs. Moody and Ellerbe of the Committee were espe cially attentive to the comfort of the invited guests. At night there was dancing at Mr. Watson's residence, near the scene " of the day's festivities, which was no doubt greatly enjoyed by those who attended. Probably six hundred or more of those present at the pic-nic hud never heard music from a brass band.; before, and to such in particular our friends of the Club were of course the centre of attraction througin ut the day, the bund performing about titij p) c-8 for their benefit and that of the people uuerally. Iu the evening they were the guests of Mr. Moody, at whose residence they were very agreeably and hospitably entertained1 until the time arrived for their departure for home. The members of the band speak in the highest tenns of the people among whom they have boon having such a pleasant season of rec reatiou and enjoyment, and say they could not possibly have been treated with greater hospitality or respect, to say nothing of the many flattering compliments they received as to their musical proficiency. Mr. .F. W. Kerchner, who has an extensive ac quaintance in and about Marion, accom panied the band and of course was a worthy adjunct in the "feast of reason and flow of soul" inspired bythe occasion. ICald on a. Section House Several Colored Men Robbed. Some six or eight colored men, employed on the W. and W. R. R., have been in the habit of sleeping in the first section houso on the road, about four miles from this city, and on Thursday, while they were off at work, the house being closed and locked against intruders, a thief, who was proba bly acquainted with their habits, crawled under the house, removed a lot of brick from the hearth, and succeeded in effecting an entrance. lie then commenced collect ing the valuables, consisting of a watch, worth about $30, a lot of clothing, boots- shoes, &c., amounting altogether in value to about $40 or $50. When the men re turned they found that their establishment had been literally " cleaned out," and upon inquiry learned that a colored man with a guano sack on his back had been seen coming from the direction of the section house and making his way towards Wil mington, accompanied by an old man with whom the men . were acquainted. The old man was interviewed and said he accidentally fell in company with the man and would know him were he to see him again, but that he was a stranger to him.: He said the man with the sack acted suspiciously, walking fast and frequently glancing behind hini.and that he turned off near the Poor House toward the main road. This was the only clue they could obtain to the thief, except that a guano sack was among the missing articles stolen from the section house. I flaft-latrale' Co art. In Masonboro Township, in this county, Samuel Reeves was arraigned before Jus tice Jno. G. Wagner, charged with assault and battery on the person of Henry Mo Neill. Case dismissed on tho payment of costs. Sandy Brown was also charged with as-' sault and battery on the person of Henry McNeill, in whose case judgment was sus pended ou the payment of costs. Reeves and Brown were next arraigned on a peace warrant sworn out by McNeill, which whs dismissed at the cost of the prose cutor, who, being unable to foot the bill, was brought to this city -and lodged iu jail.

We learn from ta friend iat Dawson's Landing, Bladea county,thata horse ran away with a cart at Mr. Joseph. Gillespie's place, near there, on Wednesday, and , that in making a sudden torn he fell, killing himself instantly.

'We are informed that Messrs. Cronly & Morris returned on Thursday with a sharp ened auger to the scene of the boring ope rations at their marl beds in Brunswick county, intending to go through the hard stratum which had been struck at the time of our last account, if that was a possible thing. Mr, Cronly was accompanied on the occasion by Mr. Thomas Evans, of the firm of Blossom & Evans, who is the proprietor of the auger used. r The Cool had been put in fine condition, and was worked by four men, but, spite of every effort, it. could hot make the slightest impression upon the rock which seems to underlie the 25 foot bed- of marl. The auger, indeed, is constructed only with a view to boring wells through a deep soil, and is not calculated to penetrate beds of hard rock. An effort to drill the rock with a steel-pointed drill was alike un successful, owing to the great length and wehrhtof the drill and shafting attached, As there were no volunteers offering to go below with a view to determining by in spection how the investigation might be more satisfactorily prosecuted, a change of base was then effected. The auger was taken to another part of tiie property and set to work on a new bore. After going down ten feet through soil, sand and some marl, a bed of whitish stone- was struck and some specimens brought up. We have not yet had time to determine the precise character of this rock. We are in clined to think that it oveilies the main bed of marl at this point, and is not the same rock as that struck in the bottom of the first bore, but this can only be settled by a careful inspection of the ground, At another point on the property, some what lower than those mentioned above, a hole has been bored with a post-auger, in which, at a depth of two feet, the auger went into a bed of coarse white gravel, such as is found in some places on the sea coast. We understand that considerable inter est is being shown in the trial of the marl which Messrs. Cronly " & Morris have shipped up the C. C. Railway for free test upon the . crops. Owing - to the great amounts of freight from the North which are now passing over this road the Com pany has been unable to give immediate transportation to a lot of some eighty bags intended for Rockingham, and it has there fore laid alongside the track for some days. These bags formerly contained California wheat, and in their seams a few grains had remained when they were emptied. After being filled with the marl and exposed to the action of the sun and moisture until Thursday, it was found that these grains had germinated and shot out stalks three inches long. Perhaps this fact may be some index of the value of the marl as a fertilizer. These bags were to have gone forward to Rockingham by yesterday's train. . We aic informed that some of the first orders that have been received for the marl came from Catawba county, a county situ ated west of the centre of the State. The people of the interior seem inclined to give a trial to home fertilizers in 'the hope of finding a substitute for the more expensive ones imported. If their hope can be real ized they will thus keep much money at home every year and circulating in their own midst An order for one ton from Newton, Catawba county, and another from Conover, in the same county, for two tons have just been filled. The marl goes via the Carolina Central to Charlotte, and thence ua the North Carolina and the Western North Carolina Railroads to its destination. Those sending the orders think a considerable market for marl will be opened in Catawba. We hope the ma terial may prove as valuable as is antici pated. Brunswick Conntr Debt, Finances, &c.

ToIIcy, 39 Maiden Lane, New Tork Gent.: The 12 Gun which you built for me, 1 17a 2093, has arrived safely to hand. ' Allow mc- to thank you for the fidelity with which yon carried out my instructions. The general outline, beauty of proportion and excellent finish, are all that could be desired, and more than meets my expectations. I am more than ever impressed with the idea that it is as necessary for a man to have a gun built to meas urement as to have a boot so built to ensure a good fit. The pattern 175 and penetration 40 arc very su perior. The pattern is as close aa I desire, and i he penetration I think is seldom attained, beiny far ahead of any public record which I have seen.
