Mr. Love said as he did, on yesterday and the Atay before, insiit on the strikiug out of the Gov ernor and eubstitutiDg Superintendent of Public Works, he would still vote for that substitute. t Mr. Jones, of Mceklcnburg, objected to the . original bill directing the Governor to appoint "the commiseion. He believed it was the duty of a Legislative committee to investigate the con ' duc.t of these roads as the only thing to stop popular clamor. Mr. Lassitcr was of the opinion there was uothihg more necessary to stop these clamors than for H e Republican administration to sur render all the railroads and public works of the State into the hands of tha Democracy., He be lieved it very inconsistent with the gentlemen of the opposite party to pretend waut of conti deuecJu the Governor oi the State in this in vest igjjition. A Governor who was elected by tiich airiuiuphant majority should have the con lidcnec of the entire ieoplc of North Caroliua. ; lie believed the Governor was responsible for these investigations iu a great measure, iri as much as he appointed the Directors, and the Di rectors the Prcsidcut, and he is certainly re sponsible for the conduct of hia appointees, and being responsible he1 is as much interested as the President of these roads to make these in vestigatiqua and satisfy the mind of the Demo cratic party upon the development of 6uch in vestigation. ". Mr. Etheridgc moved that the bill uuder con Bideration .be referred to a special committee of three that they may be enabled to draft a bill iu reference to the matter. Mr, Sweet said that last evening he undertook to examine the existing laws in regard to the duty of public ofllccrs generally in the matter of railroads. Mr. Sweet referred to an act con cerning the duties of Executive officers wherein ,he found that the Superintendent of Public iWorks has charge of the State's lutcrcst in rail- juaub, uuu ui an vtuvr puuiic worts, and was to :epori.iu rcgaru to lucm ai cacn session Ot the euei-ai Assembly, ana therefore he did not kph Mie necessity of the amendment of the Senator lor Jackson, (Mr. Love). But he did not seethe necesaity for , investigation in airy t shap when au lict.of the General Assembly required detail reports from the President of each J railroad un der the solemnity of oath ; and unless there was evidence of mismanagement and not ou mere rumor. And in regard to the road which has received the largest assistance from the State he would say a great deal was expended. One hundrcd(milc8 from Ashcvillo had been for -months liudcr contract and was ranidlv annroaeb- iug completion, and that over a mountainous country wncre iuc coat or consl ruction was far greater man anywitere else in the United States : and it was, no doubt, from the fact that the road was m charge of men who were doim their uluioct t o push f orward the creat work Mr. XJalloway said he would "support the mo tion of the Senator from Currituck, Mr. Ethcr idgc, to refer to a siccial committco of three until the report of the Superintendent; of Public Works would be submitted. - ; - . Mr. Moore of Carteret, moved to lay the whole matter on the table. . The motion did not prevail. Mr, Rcspass moved that the matter be post poned until Wednesday, December 8th. !

When he was elected, he thought it for only two years, and should not stay any longer than that time. But if th6 Constitution prescribed differently, then it was his and every other member's duty to vote in accordance vith that instrument. As the question was in doubt, he hoped that it would bo referred, so as to give members time for the formation of an intelli gent and correct opinion, V The motion to refer then prevailed.

Adopted. The special order, being resolution request ing the removal ot political disabilities from certain citizens ot the State, was taken up. j ; Mr. Jarvis ffcred a substitute instructing Our Senators and requesting, our Representatives j in Congress to use their powers to have the po- pealed the Test Oath Act. Mr. Pou. Expressed himself in favor of lute equality before the law to all, blaek aiid white, and to the unity of this Republic and any party that embraced this principle in Jits platform would receive his support. In a speech ot some lengm, nc aavocaica tue passage ot nis resolutions. Mr. Malone withdrew his amendment. Mr. Leary was in favor of removing the disa bilities imposed by the 14th A mendmcnt. hoped that the substitute would not be adoptfcd, but that the original proposition would passi Mr. Jarvis desired to have complete amnesty to all the people of North C;trolina. He instan ced the case of Gen. Longstrcet, who was a tyravc and gallant soldier in the rebellion. While the many victims of that officer in the Coufederitc army slept beneath the clods of Virginia, 1icvrs allowed to hold office, and was only required jlto take a modmed iorm oi the test oath. It then the leaders could be treated with such leniency, he desired that the lesser lights in the rebellion, and the people generally in thi3 State, should enjoy the same privilege. The House agreed to the substitute. ii Mr. Pou offered to amend the substitute by inserting the preamble prefacing his own reso lution, viz : ";Vhereas, the time has fully come when, in the opinion of this General Assembly, absolute equallity before the law ought to pre vail among aljl the men of North Carolina, .with out regard to race or to past political offences," Mr. Parker supported cheerfully the amend ment. He deemed it very important that the resolutions should be so amended. He desired to see whether the Democrats and Conserva tives in the House would put themselves on record by endorsing in good faith the principle of equal, civil and political rights. It was wijll known that the 15th amendment to the federal constitution,5 tolerating universal suffrage in everv State in the Union, had not been ratified. Suppose that amendment should fail; he asked not tho question of suffrage be left open ? If so, and if the democrats got control previous to a committal on their part to a declaration iu fav6r of poiitical equality before the law, he asked what would become of the colored people ? He hoped the amendment would prevail. Mr. Proctor, when the resolution requesting a removal ot political disabilities came up at last session, felt it his duty to vote against it. for the reason that the State was not in the right condition to sanction the enfranchisement f those persons that were banned, lie , then t be lieved that' unrepentant rebels should take back Beats until' the loyal people had fully inaugurated a republican form of government, guaranteeing to all, without regard to race or color, ampfc protection in the exercise of every right politi cal, religious and social. Since that time, Con frre?s had shown bv its' action that it favors the policv of restoring political equality to the dis franchised citizens of the Idte rebellious States The recent elections in Virginia was another il lustration that the people, irrespective of j pai tv. desire tue iron-clad oatu toi dc uono laway with, lie gave many other reasons iu favor of the resolution, and hoped it would be adopted Mr. Maloue offered to amend the preamble by inserting after "absolute" the words "political and civil." .

The people the road through would build the road themselves and they only asked the privilege of doing so. ; s 7 s 5 5 ' Mr. Cook saidne was justified in ' making the motion to print from the fact that It would be impossible to f determine its ' merits without it being so and to prevent errors' from creeping in.

Ycas5i, nays 8. Senate resolution a&k in tj an opinion of the Chief Justice and Associate Justices as to the tenure of office of the members of the present General Assembly camo up lor consideration. Mr. Malone characterized the resolution as., a ridiculous one. lhe Supremo Court had reluscd once to give an opinion, when requested to do so by the Legislature, and it could not now be supposed that that tribunal would depart from us ioriner coureu uuu give au upimoa, on me point mentioned in the resolution. The Court had no right to do so ; and if it were to render an opinion, it vould not be binding on the Legis lature, lhe question was one or lhi3 ifeneral Assembly to decide, and he lhbreore opposed the passage ol the resolution. Mr. Durham onered a substitute declaring "that the term ; for which this General As sembly was elected expires on the first Thursday iu August, 1870." Mr. Harris, Pt Wake, addressed the House in opposition to the substitute. He desired infor mation on the matter uuuc.r eous:doratioii, and before decidiug the question, wanted lirst to know the oiiuion ol the Supreme Court Jus tices. Mr. .Moore, oi (Jhowau, said that there existed a precedent iu the Legislature asking an opinion of the Supreme Court. Before the war, when Mr. Berry contested the seat, of Hugh Waddell in the Senate, an opinion was asked and ob tained of the Supreme court iu reference to some point eonuec'ted with the freehold. Ifthe Court could then comply with suee a request, it was luhniteiy .more important ior it to uo so uow, especially as me maiier now to oe cicciticd was ol far more importance 10 tne people, suppose we give our aeeision ai once, as proio5ed iu the substitute, and, then, suppose that d?cisiou to be wrocg? See the evils that might cusue from such a false step. While it was true that the Legislature was not bound by an opinion of the PnPt l.o r,tll t.orfnr l,..w;r.r- it .f.' L"., , in order lliUU lie lllljiui, iJiwiH uy iuu uwiblUl whose duty it was to construe constitutional questions. The questiou was purely one of law If members were elected for four years., then an other election ought not to be permitted ; if for ,A 1U, two, men mo legislature ouecui, not to over its term. An opinion of the Justices would no doubt be the same as a decision from the II Til m 31 on the question were it to go up to them iu the? regular mode. He eonteuded, so, that the opinion sought for. Avould save . much trouble aud expense; if the legislature decided to hold over for four years, or declare that the term shall expire next August, iu cither event the subject would be brought before the Court for decision by parties interested and hence it would ulti mately be brought before that tribuual. With out committing himself to either thecrj, he de sired for the present that the request mentioned in the Senate proposition be n.ade, aud that the substitute would be voted down. Mr. Pou concurred in the views expressed by Mr. Moore, and added that it was also the wish ot the Committee cu Privileges aud Elections that the opinion referred to should be had. Mr. Durham thought that as the decision of the Justices would not be binding, the question might as well be referred to any, other five emi nent lawyers- such as Moore, Bragg, Merrimon, &c. The people iu electiug this General Assem bly, regarded that the time was but for j.wo years.' Mr. Mc ore, of Chowan, said the belief of the people had nothing to do with.tha question; It was what the Constitution sartt that should have weight ou tho minds Pf members. T i Mr. Ppu eaid that the reason why the question snouiu oe reierrcu to tue iMiprenre Court Justi- rf rithprthan flvft n hr t;r rir wau it... i people had elected those Judges.'

At the present, there was no other way of getting the . question before the Court, than that proposed in the Senate propo sition. ; .i' ;-:-.'----..- - :. . -! . " Mr. Vest opioscd the substitute.
