Thursday) and yesterday Pearson intro
duced another resolution, which, he said,
bore upon the same subject Both resolu
tions were read. Pearson's was a bitter at
tack upon the Democratic party, bringing
in the; revenue tariff and a dozen other
questions. It was claimed that Pearson's
resolution was not germane, and that that
of i White must be considered as having
precedence. A hot debate began. Holt
and Overman said that Pearson's resolution
was a mere campaign document against
the Democrats, : Pearson took f the. floor
add f mode ? a ' bitter speech, in the
course j of which he said thei Legisla

smothered the bill in committee. I That ac
tion! was in defiance of the wishes of the

Overman sprang to his feet when Pear

come here pretending to be a Democrat and
had turned out to he a Republican. .

. At noon the special order, Mr. Pearson's
resolution attacking the Democrats in the
lower House of Congress for their failure
to pass the Blair bill, was taaen up. mis
resolution is as follows: ' ".
Whereas. It Is a demonstrated fact that
the impoverished whites' of the SOuthare
totally unable to provide adequate free
schools both for their Own. children and
for those of blacks: and. whereas, in our
opinion the work of reconstruction is not
onlv incomplete, but is a positive failure so
long as great masses of voters, npon whom
the Federal Government conferred the
elective franchise, are unable, intelligently,
to exercise that right: and whereas, there
is now a vast and ever Increasing surplus
in- the national treasury,, lying there as a
menace to honest government ana a mpcB
erv to honest tax-pavers:: and. whereas, the
Democratic party is explicitly committed
to the cause ot "Public Education" ana to
the repeal of the "crushing war taxes:'
therefore. I " ! "
Be it removed, dm., That our Senators and
Representatives in Congress -are hereby
requested to exert their utmost efforts to
secure the passage ot the Blair Educational
hill, and to secure the repeal of the Internal
Revenue system, and to make these issues
paramount to all other political considera
tions.
2.--. Positive and oft-repeated promises .
nave wen maae to our people mat inese
great measures of relief would be adopted
with the advent into power of a Democratic-
national administration; and the
voters of North Carolina, in a language at
once plain, peremptory ana indignant,
are now demanding of the Democratic
party the honest: performance of those
promises. . : :.. ' " - v ;-;:
The' "quota which North Carolina
would receive under the Blair bill is scarce ly
a tithe of the millions which she has
been forced to. pay into the national trea
sury under internal revenue laws, which
have ever been odious, have long been un
necessary and have at last becomo inexcusa
ble and intolerable. ' Under this system
muttons or money nave been wrung from
norm Carolina, where it is sorely needed,
and carried to Washington simply to aug
ment the already dangerous surplus, and
only serves as a problem to perplex states
manship and as a prise ior reckless extrav
agance. r-'f-'T' 1 .-ief'f.;:'?
4. The sentiment In favor of the Blair
bill is practically unanimous among both
parties In North Carolina; in fact the only
opposition to this beneficent measure comes
from a few prehistoric politicians who call,
themselves Democrats,- who, unconscious
of recent. economic changes, sincerely de
plore the abolition of ' physical slavery and
ardently approve of the intellectual servi
tude oi me masses.
5. We feel that we can confidently assure
the Democratic majority in the Federal
House of Representatives, that if they have
determined to smother tbe Blair bill ana to
turn a deaf ear to all appeals for the aboli
tion of the Internal Revenue taxes, that
party may as well abandon at once any hope.
or securing the electoral vote' or JNortb
Carolina In the next national election.
6. As between the two propositions, the
repeal of tbe internal ltevenue System and
tbe reduction ot tbe tarinr, we unbesitat
ingly prefer the former, the moreespecially
as unprecedented amounts oi northern
capitai are just now finding profitable in
vestments in the mines and manufactories
of North Carolina and in tbe neighboring
States of Virginia; Tennessee, Georgia and
Alabama. . ' '
, 7. We believe that our: people have too
much intelligence to clamor importunately
for free trade at the very time when they
beei 1 to feel tbe first benefits of the tariff
and wheu they, realize that their iron and
cotton Industries can compete more than
successfully with those of Pennsylvania and
XsewJngland.
' 8 That a copy of these resolutions be
forwarded at once to each of our Senators
and Representatives, and a copy also to the
Sneaker of the National House of Rente-
sentativesand to the chairman of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means and the chair
man ot the Committee on Appropriations
in Congress.
This resolution had been piti ed in the
hands of the committee on Education, and
on it the : majority of that committee made
an unfavorable report, ana offered a sub
stitute, requesting our Representatives to
seek tbe repeal of tbe internal revenue la?
The minority-of the committee submitted a
report, favoring the original resolution.

whole matter be referred to the Republican

taken by tbe best and leading papers in the
South. He said th? resolutions were plain,
truthful and to the point The Democrats
in Congress need some such drastic medi
cine He charged : them with not only
failing to abolish the internal revenue taxes
but actually, increasing them: "He com
plimented Cleveland, as a man who never
"shumed " always rose above party ana
believed in adherence to pledges. He sid
that the resolution was in the line of
thought and belief expressed in such able
and truly Democratic papers as the Wil
mington Stab and the Richmond Dupatch.
We will refer to this matter hereafter.

Mr. Worth moved to table the resolution,
but withdrew that motion long enough to
, . i m i i . . i -

urged the passage of Mr Pearson's resolu
tion. j He charged the Speaker of the Na
tional House of Representatives as so ap
pointing tbe Committee on the Blair bill as
to let that bill sleep the sleep of death. He.
knew this to bs a fact. He would not let
this resolution be smothered here. He said
that on! every stump in the State the poll
ticianSl had. on both sides, used as their
motto "down with tbe intetnal revenue and
up with the Blair bill." f
Col. Holt said all this talk was for polit
ical capital; nothing else. I The Democrats
and Republicans here had voted In favor
of the Blair bill; and all our Representa
tives save one had voted for it whenever
the matter came up He said be'did not
indorse Carlisle.
Dr. York again spoke, charging emphat
ically that the north Carolina members
bad voted indirectly against these measures
by voting in caucus lor Carlisle, in open
House they did vote for these measures, as
Col. Holt had stated.
Mr.; Overman said this statement of York
was not true. - He complimented Carlisle as
a Speaker. He spoke of Pearson, and said
his attacks on Democracy were not so sav
age,! and intimated a belief that Pearson
was weakening. AH this was for Bun
combe, r Pearson had Congress in view, no
doubt. This roused Pearson, and he ac
cused Overman of being personal In his re
marks. Overman declared that the very
preamble to the resolution was-not ger
mane, and called for the Speaker's ruling
on that question. He said that section 7
was also not germane.
Dr. Worth renewed his motion to table
Pearson's resolution. He said that for days
he bad listened to debates on such ques
tions. They delayed work, i caused bad
feeling and did no good.
Tbe vote was taken, yea and nay, on the
motion to table, and was as follows : To
table 28, not to table 77. The question then
recurred upon a motion to take up the res
olution.' i : i
Pearson moved to amend section 1 as
follows: "That cur Senators and Repre
sentatlves in Congress are hereby requested
to exert their utmost efforts to secure the
repeal of the Internal Revenue system, and
to make this repeal, in connection wun me
Blair , Educational bill, paramount to all
other considerations." . The House adopted
the section as thus amended. On the second
section the vote was yeas 64, nays 46. The
other sections were adopted, save the
fourth, which was stricken out and -the
seventh, which Speaker Webster ruled on
as not germane to tbe subject.! A vote was
taken upon the preamble, which was also
adopted. - The entire matter was thus dis
posed of. the discussion and votes having
consumed about two hours time. ; .
The bill allowing Jackson county to
lew a special tax passed its final reading,
Mr. Overman onerea a resolution mat
after to-day no resolutions of instruction to
our Senators and Representatives tn Con
cress be entertained by the House. He
urged the immediate passage of the resolu
Hon. I Several , Republicans antagonized it
and Mr. Overman withdrew it.
The bill to provide a prosecuting attor
ney for each county was tabled. .

occurred on the Chesapeake & Ohio Road
thia evening.'4 The" through freight run

ed: Chas emails, engineer, Jos. new man,
brakeman,- and Geo. Howell, i fireman,
were severely hurt the latter dangerously.
The wrecking steamer Victoria J.Peed has
been engaged in stripping the Wreck of the
German ship Elizabeth to-day, and it is ta
ken for granted that the ship is bound to
irotn nieces.. Thus far sixteen bodies of
tbe lost crew have come ashore; the last
one at 5 o'clock this evening. : From the
mar Vert resemblance of one of the bodies
recovered to that identified as Captain Ha
blerstadt, it is supposed ttfbe a brother or a
son. i The remains of the five tiUe saving
men were buried today, and people came
from manv miles around to the services.
An undertaker has. bv direction of the
German Vice Consul here, prepared the re
mains of the German sailors for ounai, ana
