Convention met at 10 o'clock, Mr. Jarvis in the Chair. Mr. Manning, from the Commit tee on rules for trovernment of the convention, submitted a reiort. resolution was adopted reouir- ng the Librarian to turn over to the Sergeant-at-Arras tho keys of the Senate and House libraries. Mr. Price introduced a resolutiou of ennuirv as to whether R ' C Radger, I. J. Youug. John S. Manix, R. F. Iehman and J. Q. A. Bryan, all Unitetl States officers, were engiuie to seats in the Con vention. Mr. Young introduced a resolu tion as to whether James RumHey, E. L. Vaughn, Joseph Dobson and Josiah Turner are not office holders under the State government, and if so. whether ihey are not ineligible. Mr. Rum ley moved a committee or hve be appointed to wait on the Governor and inform him of the organization of the Convention, v.;l, n,i.tn,i ir- m ' ..rvtinr in f , .. I naa auwuiuu, .'u. lufuei wo ucgauiu 'I'liA flliinv ivKa .f.-Iii. Messrs. Rumlev. Reid. Barrinrer. Lenman and hateman. . -. o i The title of Princioal Doorkeener was changed to Sergeant-at-Arms. Anticipating the hour fixed for action on the resolutions of respect to cx-uov. uraham. deceased, a member elect to the Convention from Orange, they were, on motion, taken up. Eulogies were delivered by Messrs. JJocKery.Llingraan.O'rlara, bmythe, Tourgee, Crosby, Thorne, Manning, of Chatham, and Rob- bins. The efforts of Messrs. Dockery, Smythe and O'Hara were very fine; the two latter being colored men, created a leenng of pleasurable sur- prise, tneir remarks oeingan Honor to their race, as well as to them selves. The remarks of Judge Tourgee were unquestionably eloquent and touching, and never in. our life did we before witness so powerful an effect produced upon any body of men. Strong men in whom all the tender emotions are supposed to be buried and the springs of sentiment dried up, shed copious tears, the sneaker himself being moved to tears. The scene was indeed an imDressive one. and will be long remembered. Hon. John Manning succeeded Judge Tourgee: After the elo quent eulogy of the delegate from Guilford. (Mr. Tourgee,.) whose words came to our ears as sweet as snring time breezes over a bed of violets. I think the Convention should pass tho resolutions and ad journ with the words of the charmer in our ears to a raw us nearer ana closer together." ' A deservedly high compliment. After tho completion of the eulo gies, the Convention adjourned by a standing vote. FIFTH DAY. Friday, Sept. 10, 1S75. The Convention met at 10 a. in., Mr. President Ransom in the chair. The Journal of the preceding day was read and, On motion of Mr. Buxton, Rep., amended so as to show that the matter of the Robeson county con tested case had been properly refer red.

On motion of Mr. Durham, Dem., the communication was read. Mr. Stallings, Dem., rose to a question of privilege.
