And may call any member to the Chair to preside temporarily not to extend be yond that day’s session. lie may participate in the debate. IX. When any member is called to order by the President or any member, he shall sit down, and every question of order shall be decided by the President, without debate, sub ject to an appenl to the body.

The oall of the States, alphabetically, for memorials, or any matter, measure, resolution, or proposition, which any member may desire to bring before the Congress. 2. The oall of Committee for reports—the call of the Committees to be made in the or der of their appointment—such reports of Committees as may not be otherwise disposed of when made, shall be numbered in the order in which they are presented, eud be placed ia that order on the Calander of the regular or ders of the day. 8. The Calander, or the regular orders of the day, shall then be taken up, and every resolution, proposition, or measure, shall be disposed of ia the order in wliieh iifthere •tends. No special order shell be made against this rule, except a vote of a majority of the States, and suoh msjerity may, at aay time, change the order of business. XX. Every resolution or measure submitted for the action of the Congress shall receive three readings previous to ite being passed, the President shall give notioe at each reading whether it be the first, second or third read ing. No resolution or measure shall be com mitted or amended until it shall have been twice read, after which it may be subject to motion to amend or to refer to a Committee. And all suoh matters on second reading shall first be considered by the Congress in the same manner as if the Congress were in Com mittee of the Whole, the final question on the second reading of any matter not referred to a Committee, shall be “ whether it shall be engrossed and read a third time ?" and no amendment shall be received after tho engross ment for a third reading has been ordered.— But it shall at all times be in order before the final passage or aotion on any matter, to move its commitment, and should such commitment take place and any amendment be reported by the Committee, the whole shall be again read a second time and considered as in Committee of the Whole, and then the aforesaid question shall be again put. XXI. After any matter is ordered to be en grossed, aud it has been read a third time, the question shall be, shall the resolution (or mat ter, whatever it may be,) now pass ? XXII. All resolutions or other matter on the seoond and third reading, ma> be read by the title, unless the reading of the whole shall be desired by a majority of those present. XXill. The titles of resolutions and other matters submitted, and such parts thereof on ly as shall be affected by proposed amende ments, shall be inserted on the Journals. XXIV.

XXV. A motion to lay any amendment on the table prevailing, shall carry with it only the amendment, and not the original propo sition or matter. XXVI. Stenographers and reporters for the press, wishing to take down the proceed ings of the Congress, may be admitted by the President, who shall assign such places to them on the floor, to effect their object, as shall not interfere with the convenience of the members when in open session. XXVII. On the motion, made and seconded by another member, to close the door on the discussion of any business, which may, in the opinion of a member, require secrecy, the President shall direct the doors to bo olosed and the gallery to be cleared, and during the discussion of such question, no one shall be permitted to remain upon the floor, but the members of the body and its officers. XXVIII. Any officer or member of Congress, convicted of disclosiug any matter directed by the body, to be held in confidence, shall be liable, if an officer, to dismissal from ser vice, and in case of a member, to suffer ex pulsion from the body. XXIX. All cases that may arise in the pro ceedings of this Congress, not provided for in the foregoing rules, shall be governed by the general principles of parliamentary law as laid down in Jefferson’s Manual. Mr. Memminuer called attention to the 20th Rule, and submitted that it was too general; that it oovered every matter that might bo brought up before the Congress. Mr. Stephens replied that, as a matter of course, the Rule was intended to apply to res olutions and other matter on paper, which might be brought up. Mr. Memminuer. Ah, well, if that be tho understanding, I do not object. Mr. Memminuer moved that the Rules be printed in pamphlet form, for the use of the members. Previous to putting this question attention was called to the 2d Rule, and it was urged that under it four members would constitute a quorum. Mr. Stephens said the Rule was framed under the impression that we were represen tatives of States, sovereign States, and each State being represented by one member only, the body was competent to transact business. The motion of Mr. Memminger to print was agreed to. On motion Messrs. SholFCer A Hied, of Montgomery, were appointed Printers to the Congress so long as it shall hold its sessions in this City. Mr. Nksbit, of Georgia, offered a resolution inviting the Reverend Clergy of Montgomery to open the sessions of Congress with prayer, and that a Committee of three of the Alabama Delegation be appointed to signify this desire of the Congress. Agreed to. At the suggestion of the Chair, and on mo tion of Mr. Stephens, tbs hour for opening the sessions of the Congress was definitely fix-* ed at 12, M., each day. Mr. Cueanut, of South Carolina, moved that the States be oalled ia alphabetical order for resolutions. Agreed to. Mr, Memminuer offered the following : Resolved, That this Convention deems it expedient forthwith to form a Confederacy of the States which have seceded from the Fed eral Union, and that a Committee be appointed to report a plan of Provisional Government for the same, upon the basis of the Constitu tion of the United States. Resolved, That the Committee consist of a Commitleo{of thirteen merobers,To be appointed as follows, namely : the Chairman by the Con vention, and two members to be nominated by the Dclegaticn from each State. Resolved, That all propositions in relation to a Provisional Government be referred to this Committee. Mr. Memminuhr signified that, if any mem ber desired the postponement or consideration of his resolutions he had no objections. Mr. Stephens moved to strike out tho word “Convention,” wherever it occurs, and insert “Congress.” Agreed to. Mr. Bartow, of Georgia, offered the follow ing as a substitute, whieh was read: Whereas, the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, have dissevered the political lies which bound them to tho eompoct of the Union known as the United States of America, and through duly authorised delegatee, are now assembled in a Congresa of Southern States, to provide for thoir common defenee, to pro mote their general welfare, and te establish an enduring Government by which their rights and social inetitntioas may be forever main tained, looking to the ooeureoee of such of their late oonfederates as are united with them by a community of interest; and, whereat, this Congress is empowered to establish a Provisional Government until a Permanent Government can be organized, therefore, belt. Resolved, That the President do appoint a committee to oonaist of one Delegato from each State, to report as soon as possible a form and plan of a Provisional Government to be adop ted by this Congress. Mr. Peihy, of Mississippi, offered a substi tute to the substitute, which was about being read, when— Mr. Perkins, of Louisans, seconded by an other member, moved an Executive Session. Under the rules just adopted, the motion and second were sufficient, and the Congress re solved itself into Executive Session. It remained in Executive Session until half- post 5 o’clock, and then adjourned. THIRD DAY. Montgomery, Ala., Eeb. 6, 1861, The Congress met to day at 12 M. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Tichenor, of the Baptist Churoh: Our Father who art in Heaven, we rejoice for all Thy meroies towards us. We bless Thee that it is our privilege, guilty though we are, to come to Thy throne of grace, and ask Tby forgiveness for our transgressions, and for all that grace aod strength needful for us in the discharge of the duties Thou hast devolved upon us. We would look up to Thee this morning, realizing that Tbou art the giver of every good and perfect gift. We implore thy blessing* upon us during the hours of this day. We be seech Thee that thou vrouldst grant unto the Representatives of these Sovereign States, here assembled, all that wisdom, prudence and firm ness, whieh are necessary for them to discharge the arduous and responeible duties with which they are entrusted. And do Thou grant Thy blessings upon the people of these Sovereign States. We thank Thee for that measure of peace, prosperity and security, which they have enjoyed in days past. We pray Thee con tinue unto them Thy blessings. Spread the shield of Thy protection over them—guard them by thine own right hand—and enable them to do those (hinge which are pleasing in Tby sight. And oh, we beseech Thee, our Heavenly Fa ther, if consistent with Tby will, let peace be witbin our borders; but if Thou hast in Thy Providence determined otherwise—if it be needful that we should lay the foundation of this new Confederacy in tears, and cement it with blood—ob ! our God, we beseech Thee, that Thou wouldst stand by Thy servants—that Thou wouldst give success to our armies in the day of battle, and that the conflict, if it most come, may be short and effectual for the pre servation of the rights of this people. And now, we look to Thee, our Heavenly Father, and again beseech Thy blessing during the hours of this day. Hoar us, in these our petitions, and forgive our sins and save us through Christ our Redeemer—Amen. The minutes of the preceding day were read and confirmed. Mr. Owens—One of my colleagues, the Hon. Jackson Morton, who was accidentally detain ed from reaching here at the opening of Con gress is now present, and desires to place his name on the roll. Ilis credentials have already been presented. The President—The Deputy from Florida will please come forward and sign his name to the roll. Mr. Morton came forward to the Secretary’s desk, and registered his name. The President—The first business is the call of States, in order that the Deputies may offer motions, resolutions, An. The Secretary then oalled the list of States, but there was no business offered. The President—The next business is to oall for reports from Committees. No reports from Committees were offered. Mr. Toombs—I have the pleasure, Mr. Presi dent, of presenting a communication from the Commissioners from the State of North Caro lina to this body. I desire that it b* read.
