He declared (bat he would not be ''driven" "under the whip and spur of caucuses" or deterred from doing his duty "by these brutal expressions in the Caucasian.''

Tho committee had decided to report the bill, he said, Butler being in the caucus and knowiug it waj to be done, "and th-n he penucd that article charcing the members of tho committee with crim anl I hurl it back iu his face with all th i vengeance that inspired it." Mr. Pctrce said the Caucasian editorial wis "not only unjust but ungentlemanly Mr. White said "we are not on R sian soil and are not here to do the bid ding of any sclt constituted Czar."

The Uo publicans are h jldiug out for a reeu ict nient of the old law under which incoui petent men were put in control of the Eistern counties, binkrupting the time. The credit of Halifax county under tho old regime was not good for a pound of nails. Today the ounty scrip is as good as gold. The Legislature should cert tin ly take all these things into considera tion before changing the best system of county goverument North Carolina has ever known.
