SENATE.
Wednesday, Feb. 12th.
The Senato was called to order at 10
o'clock, President Robinson in the
Chair.
Yesterday's Journal read arid ap
proved. I'KI hONAL PRIVILEGE.
The Senator from Davidson, Mr.
Leach ,aiose to a question of personal
privilege, aud proceeded to lead two
cominiu.icati -ns from the Daily News
of to-day, animadverting upou h s
o nr. e and vo'es as a Senator. He
slid both communicatons, written
probably by the tame man, did him
Kreat injustice, and were gtossiy false,
as Senators would readily see by re
calling to their minds bis action, his re
marks in the Senate from time to time,
aud his votes He was r-ati fid that no
Seuator had wiittrn the communica
tions, that be had given no cause to
justify either of them, and he believed
there was not. a S.na'orr in the cham
ber to aU of whom he uad maintained,
and desired to maintain the -strictest
and kind st c urtesy, who was capable
of making a covert, unmanly attack,
so destitute of truth, and so wanting
in the elements that corstitute the
true gentleman. He regretted much,
as tho better class of the thoughtful
men everywhere were regretting, that
so many of the pioprietors and editors
of newspapers weie permitting auony
n ous w riters, and irresponsible scrib
blers, to attack persons falsely through
their columns, to go forth to the pub
lic written either through ignorance of
facts or prompted by malice and mean
ni R. He then took up the comnnmi.
cations and chargt s therein contained,
(specifically and in detail, denying each
in the light of his action and votes, of
which every Seca'or was cgnizi'nr.
and established the falsity of the
cl arges, as he insisted Ho went, on
for i-omctinie to analyze each charge
made in the communications, with
some seventy and invective, and took
occasion toieview breitlly his career
iu the Legislature during his many
years ol service and defended his lib
e.al course of policy on Internal Im
provements, education, a;d to charita
ble institutions, etc., and declared he
he was proud of Irs past
c -uise, in behalf of the interest and
prosperity of the State, as he beloivid,
and that he stood b his record, acting
still upon the same general policy, ami
ws willing to be judged by it; that he
had never advocated a measure or j
given a vote that had not for its ohj -I't
tho welfare i f his native State and tin?
happiness of her people. He said it
was not true that he used oft'ensive lan
guage attributed to him iti regard to
the magistracy ol the State, or any of
them; and that ev rv Senator knew it
w.is grossly uut rue Ho re-pect d au
honest and int lligent magisttacy
vastly more than those who sought to
tiaduco him, and by falsehood em'o.iv
. . " . ii
or to ixci e mem against mm. ite
admitted that his actions and votes as
a public man were proper sum.cis oi
criticu-ni. but not of misieprrs ntatiou.
He said it was his duty as chairman of
the Committee on Internal Improve
ments to report, back an engrossed bill
from the House of Represent' l ves
and recommend its passage because he
was so instructed by a large majority
of said committee; that there was no
hot haste" in this, but only thu ac

EXTENSION OK Til E R. A A. A. L.
The b.ll to extend the Ra'eigh
Augusta Air Line frotn any point
Oi
&
ou
its line to Charlotte. Special order.
Au amendment was ollVied by Mr.
Henderson, that the road shall tot take
up its track to Hamlet.
Mr. Brow n, of Meckk nburg,spoke to
the bill, saying that when the bill was
first offered thero was no doubt as to
its merits.
He thought the read sheu'd be allowed
to extend its hue, as it w ould be at no
cost to the State, would develop some
counties now without a lai'way, & nd
would work a benefit to the fanneis.
The combinations now wotk ill against
the 'producers, and frrce the use
of wagon tratus. To avo'd the exhoi hi
tant freight ars stand s ill, while the
companies receive a grent amount from
the pool fi e ghts.
Mr. Foard offered an amendment
that the same rates of fi eight si a'l be
given to places n the line of the road
and to parts in this State as are given
to those in another.
To the amendment of Mr. Henderson,
Mr. Cobb ollt red one that the road be
ri quired to run daily t rains excr pt on
Sunday. Adopted. Mr. Henderson's
amendment was then also adopted.
Mr. Foard spoke to his amendment,
saving that it would lift the teriible
load of oppressive local freight rates,
which weighed so heavily in this State.
This is contrary to the genius of our
institutions, but it is not thought of.
The proposed road is a grand trunk
line, but it must have these safe-guards
thrown around it, else it will not break
up the pool, but rather increase the
difficulty, because the roads will con
tinue to- combine. But this amend
ment will piofect the people, by break-
ii g ip thea combinations, so unjust,
so oppressive.
Mr. Atkinson said tha amendment
would defeat the bill. Re favored re
duced freights, and thought the State
could regula'e I hem. But it will cr-p-pie
and defeat this git af measure, one
in wlrch the win le State, and more,
perbape, the w st is deeply interested.

It Wilurngton has the advantage she
claims, the State must pay tribute to
her, tut if she has not the products of
the State will not go to her. But shall
she grow rich to the injury of the . rest
of the Stati ? Mr. Cobb said he wis f. r
the light of ihe peoj 1 and this ciy
agaiu-t the system of freight duci imi
tations in 1,-cal tariffs demanded the
fiction of the people's representative3.
(Jive tie ro;;d the privilege of ex ten
sien, Lut jut the.-e safeguards around
the rreanue. Mr. Normt nt though M.
Foaro's amendment should apply to all
r ads, hut not, to one. There was iel
Iv no North Carolina '-system." Tin
Rah-igh & Augusta has beeu a preat
conservator. It has put down freight
and worked a great reform. The new
road w 11 run through the fertile roun
ttes of Moore, Stanly, Montgomery and
Cabarrus, a section which otherwise
will be undeveloped. AH that is asked
is a simple chaiter to lay down the
road. Every vote cast for this charter
is a vote in the interest of the producer
and the traveller, as wi-11 as of the tax
payers of the State This was a ques
tion of benefit to the State, aiid he
would support it with earnestness. It
was his detrm''nation to aid in all
ways in these great questions of inter
nal improvement, and he called upon
the Republicans ti starjd by the cause.
Mr. York sii 1 it was the first time in
the history of the State that applica
tion to allow a rai'way to lay its
line, at no expense to State or sectibu, i
had met with objection. North Caro
lina cannot afford to refuse such advan
tages. There is no breadth in such
ideas. If a railway could run to every
county in the State, she would bo far
better off This discrimination againet
the people in favor of any city is
wrong iu principle aud in fact. Tho
business men of Raleigh would back
the charter with their money. He
wisliFd the bill to go thrcu. h.
Mr. B1-. oker said that if the charter
was sustained the State would be in
every way aided. The question was a
e rand one. The road would ruin no
city, no -com muni 'y, but prove an aid
to the State and her people; develop
the agricultural intereuts, aud be a boon
to all classes. It will open up one of
the fairest sections of the State, and
wive its people prorer communication
with the world. The people should
have t' e ri.ht to buy in tho best mar
ket. It had been intimated to him
that he would niin his fu'ure political
ch;inces, but I e put the go d of State
and her people far above such petty
cons derations.
Mr. Cov'ngton indulged in a few
fpce'ic, and taking up serious matters
said he opp sed t! e grant of the char
ier, as there was no point on the R. .fc
A. road named as the point of depart
uie, and the road niittht. ruu, parallel
by the track of the N. C. R. R. and
thus injure the State, w hile developing
no counties. The amendment of Mr.
Foard was a good one, as there was
uow disci iminatiou against towns of
North Carolina
Mr. Taj lor stated that he deemed the
amendments, so plausible in appear
ance, were intended to kill the bill.
L-t a general bill be passed regulating
freights every where in the State. It is
unjust to discriminate as to this ro:ul,
when there is no nece-sTy for it. The
statement that t he building of the road
II 1 T . .1 I It 1 .- - i .
v in main ine ine-u:oon ol Hie Mate is
not true. The words North ( an lina1
ya'em'' are a snare and a delusion
and an attempt to keep up such is
ruinous, situated as this .'state is
The best market must be sought for
the products of the State, and this will
be tbe natural cause of; trade. Mr.
Cooke saw iu the bill only a plain case
of fact and necessity. It is a surprise
that men have opposi d a plan to build
a railway through a ferule, farming
reeion of Ninth CnroIina, when there
is no cost or charge. The reason thrt
is held up is that it is a light between
two great railroad corpoiations, aud
that the representatives should take n
part in it. This is absurd, for the bid
gives to counties now without it, that
great blessing, good railway transpor
tation. This measure is an act of pure
justice to the people of those counties
thi ouch w hich it is to pass. Are the
people of those counties to be for any
reason, deprivt d of these conveniences
because? tlie stock in the N. C. R. R
mifht be decreased in value? All
feel a pride iu the devi lnpmeut of Wil
mington, but the plan of sacrificing
the g- od of our people iu the interests
of any town is a wrong one. That city
h;;s no right to request this much of
the State of Noith Carolina. Another
reason for granting this charter is that
it is a prou osition to expend in our
State $1,000,' 000. This is a fact that
merits consideration. He then took
up the regulation of freight amend
ment of Mr. Foard. It was strange
that it should be proposed to tack it to
this bill. Ho protested his earnest
des re for a general bill on the subject,
for all the railways of the State, but
the discriminat ion was unjust.
Mr. Lockhart discussed tho amend
ment, acd coul 1 see no objection that
could he offered to it, but thought it a
safeguard that ought to bo i brown
around the bill. He would advocate a
general bill to the saino end. The
people suffer because such a provision
is not added to all the railways of the
State.
Mr- Vauirhan offered an amendment
to the amendment, providing that the
regulation"of tariff's on this road shall
cot go into effect until such law shall
be put in operation upon all the roads
in the State.
Mr. Leach earnestly favored tlie
amendment to the amendment, and
w as an earnest friend of the bill. That
rich section, with its mining and agri
cultural interests demanded these im
provements, which sae now had not.
Nor is l his bill for the benefit, of
those counties alone, but for the State
at large. Mr. Clarke thought tho State
had no pride, no policy, no system, but
was manipulated for the benefit of
Yitginia aud South Carolina. This
proposed roa 1 will turn off the traie
from our ports, while it will injure the
West. He spoke of tlie loss it would
give the State by danger to the N. C.
R. R. Mr. Jones took up this, savinz
that the State had never paid one dime
for that road, nor would it c st her
ought with the exception of the inter
est on the construction of bonds, some
$3o0,000. Mr. Clarke, continuing, said
the road 8 tapping the State Luvl dam
aged her
Mr Cary said he was a veteran mem
ber, but had never before sp dien up
on the railroad question, bur, he would
be recreant to the people if be opposed
the amendment, for it was for tho in
terest of the people of the Wes'. by
p eventing their bci ig charged high
rates. But as to the bill, they spe ik of
its damaging Wilmington. Does it not
wcrk food for the State at large ? Let

they cau get the best prices fori hem, i

should be benefit ted.
Mr Blocker repli -d to some of the
arguments of Mr (Jociiur'on, and uave
tho Hon. e s Mnc r.ir- fun. He gave
more albumen's for the bill. He op
posed the amendment becaus it was
an attempt to discriminate and choka
down the char;er. A general bill on
the subject he won d favor. He vv is

NIGHT SESSION.
The II. use met to fin:sh the d scus
sion of the R. & A. R. R. b 11. The
question recurring on the amendment
offered by Mr Van y ban to the amend
ment offered by Mr. Foard, it was dis

subject the road to taxation. Lost.
Mr. Armstrong moved to amend by

In Maryland 1 read the Mi ".v of the

abridging tho righr. of voting by th
inconvenient locality ol the polls, and
under such charges me.i are being sen
tenced and , deprived of their liberty
and their property. The Sapreni ,
Court of the Fnite 1 St iles in those
two cases of Ciu kshauk and Kjoso
have clearly and eniph iti rtaliy exclud kl
any such jurisd cioii. They have, de
clared that the Failed Slates had no
class of voters of their own croitioii,
that they never made a vo er, that they
never betowod tho light ol' sull'i ae, .
that they have no control over it, but
that there was siinplv'tho inhihitio i of
a Sta'o or oi t he IU ted St iit.es to abridge
or deny tier right of sull'i.ie by roaso i
of one of three paiticular causes, tho
race, tho color or tho prcvioui condi

cerned. For any ab idgm nit for ally
aud all caus -s e'xeept thoe three aro
no more within tho power of the Fed
eral Government by legislation to pre
vent or direct than they are to decide
in any q lestion between two citiz ins
of the sain o State in regard to any m li
ter id' their private and local contracts.
This is the 1 mg'iage of tho Supreme
Court of the United States. This i
their decision made I bcliov.j almost
unanimously in th.-i two cas s to. which
I have refenel. Yet we aid asked l3
these resolutions to continue tho enact
ment of geuoi al lawn "'of the character
already passed'' for that purpose. 1
am as ch ar as I ever was of a propo
sition in my life that tho oath I have
taken to support tho Constitution
would compwl me to vote agaiilst such
a prop isition as that.
' Tin reforo tho whole object of these
resolutions is to procure from tho Sen
ate an approval of this class of uncon
stitutional legislation aga nst which at
the time of its enactment on this 11 or
1 stMiggled,in vain, and to extend this
usurping and fatal attempt at the cen
tralization of all police powers of the
S ates in the hands of the Congress
of the United States.
Mr. President, this is nothing but
the overthrow of our nhorite 1 system
of government. Swell a construction
cannot bo accepted; it would bo utterly
fatal to freedom and local self-government.
Thero is no uoce-isity for such
a construction. All over this land,
and I challenge the eleuial, there is no
law in any Si,a'.e in conflict with these
amendments. .. All over this land tnere
is acq uies mice in tdoir provisions; all
over this land there is obedience. Tha
language, as J.isticu Miller says, which
prohibits a Stce irorn passing a law
which violates tin obligation of a con
tract and gives tho Congress of the
united power to pass laws to make
that i ff-ct i ve, is jost as full as t IiaI
wl ich prohibits a State fro n abridging
tho privileges and immunities of citi
zens, Itisjust as re is jnablo to find
power to penalize with fine and im
prisonment a citizen in a State who
fails to pay his promissory note as it is
to punish by lino and imprisonment tho
man who interferes with another's
right to vote at an election.
