The committee then took up the port. The lirst subject was the consid? eration of an amendment to treasurer's. Chairman stated that Mr. Watson, the of the amendment, was sick and he hope? il is would not passed until Mr. WatS'jn cotild lis present.

Dr. Mcllwaine objected. sari ig Hat the matter- could be well const i 3 with? out Mr. Watson. wiairman Harnes re? torted that he had no doubt in the world IJr.

Mcllwaine could ably manage it by himself, but it was a matter of courte ey to a sick member that his resolution should be At this point Mr. Keezell ttiauc a speech in favor of adjournment. He declared that the convention was in no condition to attend to business, and could not prop? erly or permanently settle any of the matters now before it with a bare quo? rum present. Mr. Watson at this point appeared on tin? iloor and slated that he was too un Avell to properly present his substitute.

On motion of 13r. Mcllwaine. the con? sideration of the amendment was unani? mously postponed. The majority report provided for the election ot Commissioners of tho Revenue bv the reonie. Mr.

In reply to Mr. Thorn's statement that the appointment of these officers was a violation of a fundamental principle. Mr. Boa2 called his attention to the fact that for a prcat many years Virginia had ap? plied that principle in connection with its revenue.

He said whatever might be the theory, practice and experience had shown that Commissioners of the Revenue, who were dependent on the votes of their neighbors for re-election, were totally indifferent to the principle of uniformity or equality of assessxr ent. He said some members seemed to place more value on money and property than jm life and liberty. They did not mind violating a fundamental principle in pre ROSY COLOR. Proiluc-il by Pood OoflVtB.

"Mr. Bouldin strongly favored the ap? pointment of Commissioners of Revenue.

SHEEP AXD HOGS. Mr. Newton said the chief trouble State lmd to-ua from a hick of uniformity and liza tii 11 valuation. 1 that occur in of property were largely due to. the neces? sity of commissioners of revenue having to have an to their own pop? ularity for electioneering purposes.

The speaker here read a list of values, showing that sheep and in some sections were valued at 00 cents and" in others at two dollars. He made a strong argument in favor of the amendment. Mr. Fairfax urged the of the amendment. Mr.

Keezell gave an extended account oi the evils arising from the present sys? tem. He sail the Commissioner of the Revenue, was the weak spot In i.ie pres? ent system of county government. Me then declared that were it not for the fact that he was in favor of electing from constable to governor by the people, he would support the amendment. He favored the recommendation of the committee that the commissioner be elect? ed by the people am; be ineligible for a second term. This would, in a great measure, prevent his undervaluing prop for electioneering purposes.

He would be frank enm-gh to admit thai a more eiTicient ofiicer would lie secured by appointment, but thought the people ought to have the choosing of their tax offlcers. YlGUROrS AND ELOQUENT, Colonel Pettit vigorously and elooiuent ly defended the coramiss'ouers of revenue. He declared that they were faithful in the discharge of their duties and strict? ures upon tnem were unjust and unwar? ranted. He declared that the convention had gone wild over trying.to get everything out of the hands of the people and re? move the government as far as from their Immediate control. He urged the convention to stop in its efforts to destroy all tho ancient and beloved landTnar.is that the fathers had pet no.

Referring to Mr. Newton's to the valuation of hogs at 5-1 cents in one county and two dollars in another, the venerable statesman explained that it was evident that one county had ra? zor-back hogs, while the other had im? proved breeds, like Berkshire. or Poland Chinas. He much preferred believing this than to believe that an ofiicer of the law would perjure himself in making bis returns. Newton: "If you will examine the Auditor's report you will find that the turns highest values on hogs." Colonel Pettit: that is natur? al.

I understand that the bacon of that hog sells higher. It is very sweet and pungent, owing to the varied food it on." Colonel Pettit then continued in an able and effective manner to criticise the criticisms that had been passsel on va? rious officers and went into the details of their duties to that they acted under according to law. MR. GORDON? SPKAKS. Mr.

Lindsay Gordon, in advocating the amendment; complimented Coionel on being so completely satisfied with the present order of things as to be happy over it. was a true philosopher could cheerfully adapt him? self so -completely to all that is. He then asserted ihat if commissioners o'? the revenue did their duty not one in a hundred of them could ever be re-elected to the position. He said that he hoped aft-r the convention liad adopted a suf? frage clause-it would so purge the elec? torate as to guarantee a h'gh class of in al dev.ir?me-ts of govern? ment. Hr did not think tax assessors or tax listers were a of officers that should depend upon local, popu? larity for their positons.

Mr. off? red an amendment to the substitute providing that the man rftar of selection the Commissioner of the Revenue, be left with the Legislature. Pending discussion of the amendment offered by Mr. Stebbins, the committee arose, reported progress to the conven? tion, and it adjourned at 32:25 o'clock, to meet at 30 o'clock Thursday.

The application of Hermann Schwartz for a license to open a bar-room at the corner of Sixth and Baker Streets was opposed in the Hustings Court yester? day afternoon by a large number of the residents cf the immediate neighborhood, mostly colored people. The reasons given were that the location of a bar-room at that point would depreciate property, would tend to have bad influence on chil? dren- going to school. and that would be demoralizing to the neighborhood, which was at present a quiet and orderly one, with Navy Hill School near by. One witness said that when? his wife heard about the opening of the bar-room she had a horrible dream about a drunk? en man.

and awoke him from his slum? bers with her screams. (Schwartz said he conducting a grocery store in connection with the bar. in passing on the application Judge Witt said that it was an invariable rule of his court to refuse such licenses when the people of the neighborhood protested, and while he believed that Mr. Schwartz would conduct as orderly a bar-room as any one. he must refuse the request.
