April 26 Just as yesterday, the wigwam was crowded long before the convention began. There was tne same eager interest marked on every race. Kopes had been strung across the middle of the wigwam and kept the citizens back from the delegates wtucn resulted in tne maintenance or much better order and more comfort to the veterans. Chaplain John W. Jones led in prayer. Gen. John V. Underwood announced that $1,82? had been raised for the Con federate cemetery at Chick&mauga by yesterday's contributions, for which he thanked tne old soldiers. The reading clerk read out the list of contributions. Additional contributions were handed in. Rosters of the dead at Johnson's Islands and Chicamauga were distributed by General Underwood. A one-legged Confederate stated that his life had been saved on the battle-field by a Federal soldier and asked that that soldier be escorted to the stand. It was so, done by a committee of two. The Federal soldier was Major Milsted. I Gen. WmXabellsubmitted his report as ; chairman of Jefferson Davis monument fund, BUting that $12,833 had been re ceived. This monument is to be erected at Richmond, Ya. General Cabell made a brilliant and forceful talk in the inter est of the monument . Major C, Milsted, of the Fifth West Virginia, who saved the one legged Con federate on the field at Lynchburg, was introduced, and made a few remarks with ringing cheers to greet him. General W. H. Jackson, of Tennessee, took the stand at this moment and intro duced General Miller, of the Federal army, commander of the Alabama G. A. It. General Miller made a short speech complimentary to General John B Gor don for his chivalry in saving the life of General Frenis C. Barlow, of the Federal army, July, 1863, at Gettysburg. He pre sented to General Gordon a cane cut on Birlow's Hill at Gettysburg as a me mento of his kindness to General Bar low. General Miller's speech was most felicitous. He characterized General Gor don as the typical American toldier and ringing cheers shook the air. The veter ans gave the Federal soldier a long round of applause General Gordon responded with the eloquence and the taste marking every thing he does. He dwelt particularly upon the re united Confederate and Fed oral Boldiers. "Ab a former foe, now friend, 1 stand before you, General Mil ler, and pledge to you as noble and pa triotic a people in tne South as the sun shines on. I bid you a hearty welcome." Cheers By motion of General Underwood, a rising vote of thanks and the rebel yell wt ro accorded Major Milsted for his gal la. try in bearing a Confederate soldier from the battle field at Lynchburg. General Lndorwood read the report or th-j c mmittee on constitution The corrections were made by each soldier aa they were read by General Underwood. This order was dispensed with and the report waB received as a Whole. General Leo moved that the report be laid on the table until tilts next Te-uaion, as there is a difference ofc opin ion on the Bu:j act A voice from Louis iana ci led cut: "I bat is the miaontv report, is it not ?" Gancral Underwood explained hie position. Louisiana wticted to call treneral Underwood t ) order. General Ucderwood ttited tbat the report was that of thensjori'y of iho committee in stssion last nig'at and was their unanimcua report. Louisiana again asserted htrseif as to Chalaron's re port and tne action or teat t art or tee committee which met at New Orleans four strong and adopted tlio said Chald ron's report. General Le again moved that action on the report be postponed until the next meeting as it was long and would cause much debate. Colonel John P. Hickman, of Tennes see, spoke in advocacy of one of the new provisions of tne constitution in the re port providing a salary for General Moorman, and his stenographer, Miea Childress, who have done so much for nothing. 5 General underwood tcok up the sub ject again, especially with reference to revenue, tie insisted mat there is too much demonstration and not enough business done. "A few of us do the work in the rooms at night, while we would rather be with the rest of you in the parlors. If you don't adopt some measures as in this report for raising revenue, how in the world are you going to get the revenue."' General under wood spoke tersely and vigorously ueneral Chaloron is his friend, and be is not opposing General Chalaron while presenting a substitute for that gentle man's report. General Lee's motion to postpone the report was put as a substi tute but withdrawn and renewed by an other delegate. After further discussion the motion was finally carried, and a vote by camps, demanded oy Louisiana, refused. Co!. Wm. L. DeRossett, of North Carolina, is the member from that State of the I officers. committee on nominations of General C. W Gordon, of Tennessee, read the report on the widow of Jtffer son Davis pension effort. Tennessee moved that a committee be appointed to select a day to be known as "Confederate Day." Chaplain J. William Jones opposed the adoption of a resolution to appoint three commissioners to visit the Grand Army of the Republic at their next meet ing and extend the. greeting of the United Confederate Veterans' Associa tion, and that this association do not en dorse the invitation of Atlanta to have the next meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic at that place. He moved to strike out all references to the Grand Army of the Republic in the resolution Georgia made a big kick against this motion. Capt. F. H. Busbee, of North Carolina, spoke in the same line. Chaplain Jones explained his position. He declared that he had no feelin.s against the Northern soldiers, but he thought sending commis siorfers to the GAR. was interfering with their business Major E. G Gordon, of Alabam, brother 01 uen. Join U Gordon, favored inviting the G. A K. to Atlan'.a Wm. H.

Mr. Mahon, Re publican, of Pennsylvania, rising to a question or privilege sent to tne cieri's desk and had read the following resolu tion: "Resolved, That the sergeant-at-arms is hereby directed to pay to members and delegates their salary on the 4th day of each and every month, as provided by law, and that he shall not deduct any part of a member's salary on account of the absence under the act of August 16, 1856, until the absence of a member has been duly certified to him under a rule or some attention of this House by the offi cer authorized to certify the same-" Mr. Outhwaite, Democrat, of Ohio, made the point that the resolution was not privileged. When the debate upon the point of order had concluded, Speak er Crisp ruled as follows: "The gentleman from Pennsylvania Mr. Mahon submits a resolution which he claims raises a privileged question. The constitution Bays that members shall receive a salary to be fixed by law. Congress has passed a law fixing the sal ary of members, and all that this House Jih&s ever undertaken to do under its I ules in dealing with the question of sal- aties is to provide that tne sergeani-at-arms shall keep the accounts for the pay and mileage of members and delegates and pay them as provided by law. When you turn to the law you find that Ihe eer geant-at-arms is required to deduct from the monthly pay of members for those days when they are absent, except for sicknecs of themselves or sickness of their families." Mr. Reed "That is not the liw." The Speaker "Gentlemen- ttiie that this is not the law. It i3 a t the pur pose or province of the House of Rep resentatives to determine what is ex iating law. This House can make law, but when it comes to the construction of law, that matter is for the courts, and cot ior -tne nouse. ine aergeauv-a-.- arms is a bonded officer, a disbursing! Gmcer 01 tne government. n is tusi kcu with the dutv of executing pumic law. If the sergeant-st-armB should plead the judgment of this House as to whether that law existed or was repealed, the iadgment of this House would have no ind of effect in relieving him from any liability on hie bond if the Judgment of this House were wrong 80 that this House cannot construe the law." Proceeding to discuss the resolution itself, the Speaker recited its provisions, and continued: "What allegation is there in this resolution that any right of a member of this House or members col lecUvely has been infringed cr invaded? The chair cannot see any. The chair de sires to say, ia jastica to tho sergcait-at arms, taat the form of certificate waa in tended to pu it wholly within the power of the member himself to say whether or not any deduction should be made under tho statutes. The chair believed then and believes cow. that every disbursing effioer in the United States who is charged with the performatco of a duty in paying out money has a right to make all reasonable regulations; which must be complied with by those to whom the money is to be disbursed before they can demand its payment The regulation which the tergeant-at-arms has made ia simply to require the membership to certify whether or not under that law any deduction shou!d be made. The chair desire3 to say further so that the House may f ally understand iCthat as he now understands the law, the chair -would not cfrtify the psy of any member as to the amount tbat might be due him for a month's salary unless the member first informed hiro how loDg he had been absent and what, if any, de; daction Bhould be mado- pplause on the Detnocra ic side 1 Thechair holds that there is no Question of privilege in resolution." Mr. Mahon "Mr. Speaker, I tflVr the following resolution, as a question of Drivileee: Rwolved, lhat it is the sense or tne House tb&r the sergeant-at-arms of the Houte of Representatives has no author ity to rcauire each member of ihe Qouao to report to him whether he has been t.b- sent from tha sessions or tne nouse ana the reasons for such absence, in the ab sence of anv rule of the House giving him such ai'hority.and that the notice of such rcauirement given by the sergeant at arms is in derogation of the rights of members of this House " The Speaker ruled that this resolution also did not constitute a question of privilege.

In it the Commissioner says in regard to public roads: "I am aware that the counties have the choice of utilizing their convicts upon their public roads, as the statntes now stand, but I think our Legislature should go further and work the whole- force upon tha roads, except those whose crimes require that they should be confined within the walls of the penitentiary. With the entire convict force employed in buildleg pebac roads the estate would soon have such a condl tion of roads as to make rural llfede tirable And with good roada we might then expect to have free delivery of the mails." In reference to the Coxey movement this is said: "The movement of 'Coxey's Army' toward Washington from the West has a meaning in it, which, in con servative old North Carolina, should be taken to heart and seriously pondered It will be found that there is a contrast so overwhelmingly in favor of our fair land that it should be cause for congrat ulation and profound thanks to the Giver of all good. We do not want to contrast the condition of even the humblest negro in North Carolina .with this mass of starving humanity. We do not mention the white population, as there is no need, nnder the circumstances, to interject a comparison as to the whites. But the negro in North Carolina, with all his faults: with his want of en ergy, frugality and pride cf race, yet has a shelter for his head and bread for his sustenance; he has work and can live despite his predilection to idleness, fri volitv and Improvidence. It does not have to be pointed out that the condition of the negro in this State is vastly superior to that of the men com posing 'Coxey's Army, and the hundreds of the same ilk who have not joined this erratic chief. While North Carolina in vites immigration, it is distinctly under stood that the class desired ta the 'home- builder;' an honrt, industrious audi fru gal man, who mu respect ana obey the Uwb, thus proving his worthiness to be come an American citizen. It has been sa d that the presence of the negro is an effectual bar to immigra tion in tne Boutn 11 this be true, ana few will doubt it, the negro has done the South a great service in barring the en trance ot the riffraff, the anarchist, the idle and the vicious from the slums of the Old World into our bsloved country of law, order and religious liberty.

Browse's Men Baro Clubs. Washington, April 25 A Poti spe cial from Frederick, Md, sayf: .sicto from the excitement in camp this even ing, there was another incident ttuU was worthy of note, as poesibly covtria g one of Browne's deep laid scheme. H i calls it "issuing banners of peaca to the men. It is likely that the Washington atjthori tics would term it "making an armed body of the Commonweal." The ("ban ners of peace" are about 5x12 itches, made of cotton, and printed with the legend, "Peace on earth, and good will towards men " They are neither rmatk- able nor formidable. But the 6ticks on which they are carried are four fot cak clubs, au inch tquaro, and heavy ejnough to brain a man at a blow. Ia addition they are to bo shod with an iron stock, ostensibly to hold a bayonet, baa when 800 men are armed with thM3 weapons, they will be a formidable b.d indeed. Browne may be perrectiy eiicero in nis expressed desire for peace, but h willow wand would have served as a stall for the small-sized flag be has provided, besides being much less expensive than tho load of oak The sticks were received only to day. and it is thought that the hereto fore unexplained stop-over here was to allow time for their manufacture, The men on picket duty around camp to night are equipped with the oak sticks.
