Committee on elections, power to '
adminismr an oath. He moved
further lo amend them, hv strik
ing out the second Resolution,
(prescribing what notice shall be
given when depositions are taken
out of the State.) Upon this mo
tion nn extended debate took
place, between Messrs. Hall, Rrv
an, Morehead and. Edward. The
motion was rejected, and the Re
solution as amended, adopted.
Mr. Hall introduced a Resolu
tion affirming that the word "eli
cible" ia the Constitution, has re
ference to the day of 'election.
Laid on the table.
Mr. 'Hall move'd to take op a
Resolution introduced by him on
yesterday, declaring the meaning
of the term eligible in the Conti
lution. Mr. Bryan deprecated the ta
king up the Resolution. The
House was harmoniously co-ope-ra;ing
in the despatch of business,
and he trusted that nothing would
be done to disturb this harmony.
The disc ussion of this resolution
would produce excitement.
Mr. Hall did not think it could
produce any excitement. It was
the mere construction of a word in
our vernacular tongue. He wish
ed the construction wi.lch ought to
be placed on the word eligible, to
be decided by the Senate for his
convenience, anil that of other
members. Hud he supposed that
his Resolution would have pro
duced ai.y excitement, he would
have had nothing to do with it.
Mr. Joyner expresed the same
views with Mr. Bryan. The mo
