The Sergeant-at-Arms was dispatched for the absent member, and in a short time Mr. Lacy appeared, when on motion of Mr. Andrews the further call of the house was dispensed with. Upon the adoption of the amendments recommended by the Committee of the whole to new Section 25, Mr. Andrews moved to amend the amendment so that the first part of the section shall read as follows: "This Constitution shall be submitted for adoption or rejection. to the qualified electors of this Territory, at an election to be held on the Tuesday next succeeding the first Monday in November, 1878.” This amendment was adopted by the following vote: Ayes—Andrews, Bradshaw, Dennison, Eldridge, Emery, Gilmore, George, Henry, Larrabee, Lacy, O'Dell, Steward, Wait and Mr. President-14.
