A large majority of the members
being present, the Clerks proceeded
to.receive the certificates of the dtie
election of the members, and to qua
lify them ; which being done,
Mr. J. Moore moved that Stephen
Cabarrus, be elected Speaker; and
hoped the motion would be unani
mously agreed to, and that the gen
tleman would be immediately con
ducted to the chair.
The motion was immediately car
ried ; and on taking the chair, Mr.
Cabarrus ekpressed his acknowledg-
ments to the house, in the most ap
propriate and handsome manner, for
the honour he had so repeatedly re
ceived from them, with a hope for
the support and indulgence from the
house which had heretofore been so
liberally granted him.
Mr. John Hunt and Major Pleasant
Henderson were unanimously re
elected Clerks, and Thomas Pounds
and John Lumsden doorkeepers.

Mr. Love, from the com mittee ap- .
pointed to prepare and report Rules
for the government of the House,
made a report, which was agreed to,
and ordered to be printed.
On motion that the. two house
proceed immediately' to ballot, fo
three Engrossing Clerks, it was car
ried, and the ballot being taken, B
Covington, Wm. Hill and Mark Har
den, were elected on the first ballot
though there were several other can,
didates.
THE SENATE,
After appointing its comhiittees
(the names of the gentlemen com
posing which appear above) received
the report of their committee ap
pointed to draft their Rules of Order,
which were agreed to with one ex
ception, which related to the article
directing the manner of taking the
yeas and nays. On this article, the
senate went into a committee of. the?
whole, Col. A. Martin in the chair.
It appeared, that it had been thei
practice of the Senate heretofore. to
take the Yeas and N ays on questions
after they had been decided by a di
vision of the House, and the decision
enti&red on the Journal ; which prac
tice had, in some instances, where
the votes were nearly equal, produ
ced embarrassments, by the two de
cisions being in opposition to each,
other. To remedy this difficulty the
committee who reported the present
rules, provided that the yeas an4 nays
should be called for in all .cases be
fore the question was tatfen. This
provision was objected toY infring
ing the constitution, which, states
" That upon a motion made and se
conded, the Yeas and Kays upoa
any question shall be taken anil eh-
tered on the Journals.' It was finally
agreed, that any member wishing' :.
the Yeasand Nays, shall immediately
after the Tellers have made their
report, and before he takes his seat,
make a motion for that purpose, and
when taken, they shall decide the
question.
