will ever be heard of again. Several ! they at the Capitols of then
bills have been introduced to estab- j respective States and voted for the
lish State hanks of issue, in antici- Presidential candidate.-, and the
, ,i, ,.,,.,! i,,. ,. final official vote is as follows:
the ton por cent, tax on Stato bauks. ;
All these bills will be considered by;
the committeo and a proper bill ou ,
this subject will certainly bo jiassed.
Wo are pleased to ftote also that '" ' ULU u' ,,u
several bills have been introduced divided- California gave Cleveland
to prevent fraudulent assignments; 8 nJ "orison 1 : Ohio gave liar

that this Legislature will at last

by insolvent debtors. A bill has ;
beon introduced to red uco tho home'
etoal exemption to ?."i0, and the
personal property exemption to8200.
Tho first bilt to pass the Senate is
a bill to pay the transportation of
convicts to their homos at the expi
ration of their sentences. This is
eminently right and just, for, other
wise, a convict is turned loose with
out money or friends to get him
home, and ho is tempted by ucccs
sity to steal at once.
A bill has been introduced in tho
Setiato to pay solicitors a salary
instead of, as now, a Ice in every
ease of conviction, A similar bill
was much discussed by the last
Legislature, but was finally defeat
ed. Much may be said both for and
against such a I:
would not increase taxes, because a
tax fee would be included in every
bill of costs in tho conviction of
criminals, and these fees paid over
to tho State Treasurer.
Anothurimportaiit bill introduced
into tho Senate is one to establish a
system of stenographic reporting iu
the courts of the State. The advo
cates of this bill urgo that it will
savo much valuable time in tho trial
of all eases in onr courts, because
according to our present practico it
takes tho Judgo so long a time to
writo down tho evidence of the wit
nesses. A bill has beon introdoced in the
Senate to repeat a law passed by the
last legislature, which compels an j
executor or adminis'.rator to plead
the statute ot limitations. W o t.opo
this bill will bo passed, and so uis
honost a law bo repealed.
Already several biils havo been
introduced to prohibit tho sale ot
liquor in cerlaiu places. And a bill
bas been introduced, making it a
misdemeanor for any person to trsat,
furnish or give either directly or
indirectly any spirituous, vinous, or
malt liquors to an adult or minoi
oxcopt at the place of residence ot
the person so treating, famishing or
giving.

of the Senate und House the official'

offices was formally declared, and

The formal official declaration of

made by Congress. Surely all this
complicated electoral machinery
might be simplified !
The Name of Hon. W. M. Robbins,
of Statcsvillo, is being very promi
nently pressed for the appointment
of Minister to Mexico. Such an
appointment would notonly be quite
a compliment to our State, but it
would also bo a filling and deserved
recognition of the invaluable ser
vices rendered by Maj. Robbiiis to
tho democratic party for many years
If passed itjl,aHt n"d Particularly during the
I lasl ' ol"
jIJ pol'tiwd leaders were silent and
noming uacK apparently siraiu to
attempt to stem the current of thud
partyism that threatened to engulf
our State then il was that Maj.
Robbins boldly stepped lorward and
fchampioutd the causo ot the old
democratic! party, and rendered
possible the glorious victory that
crowned our efforts at tho late elou
liou.
Tin Champion liar is the enter
prising youth who sent that startling
telegram, describing the attack b a
mob on the jail of Mitchell county,
one day last week. Without tho j
slightest foundation to rest on, he '
telegraphed to nearly all :ho daily
newspapers that a mob ol lynchci

The Governor urges a chango iu
the law of homicide, as folio .vs :
"I especially uro yo-u to enact a
statute creating degrees in the crime
of murder. We have m-vcr chant'cel
tho old common law rule in respect
tQ Jiomicit!o w,Io lhe .iiHlii.lmn
between murder and mnushiiiirhtci-
is well drawn in the law books, ex
perience daily doinontitra'.es that it
is not adequate to tho efficient ad
ministration of tho law. Our system
takes no note whatever of the vari
ous elements of difference in the
crime of murder, but it visits upon
him who takes the life ot a fellow
being from sudden impulse, bet
without provocation, the same dread
Mil results that follow the perpetra
tion of the crimo under circumstan
ces ot tho most atrocious deliberation
and malice. The result is thai juries
aro olten placed in the position of
convicting a fellow citizen of a crime
which death is tho penally, when
their human instincts impel them to
milder punishment or acquitting the
offender entirely. Il is perha)s no
reproach to their humanity or patri
otism that they most frequently
choose the latter alternative-. It our
law recognized different degrees iu
murder, this result Would not so
often occur. 1 believe that most ot
the States of the Union have adopted
the rule that I have suggested, and
experience has demonstrated that it
works well. A bill for this purpose
was introduced in tho last lieneral
Assembly, and passed tho Senate,
but it failed to be considered by tho
House of Representatives."
Ho concurs in the recommenda
tion made by the Stale Hoard of
Charities for tho establishment of a
State Reformatory for juvenile crim
inals, and ou this subject say the
following :
"In the report of the North Caro
lina Penitentiary tor the biennial
term ending November .10, lS'.in, no
less than 3ti2 convicts under its con
trol are said to be less than twenty
years of age, and oo under fiiteen.
Ai cording to reports Irom Sheriffs
ot ihe counties to the Hoard o!' Char
ities, upwards of 75 were in jail on
December 1st, and as they were
Hsuully committed to jail lor short
terms, when ot tender age, that
number probably represents three
times as many for the year. Tl o
bheritl'ot one county (Mecklenburg")
reports ,rU under twenty years iu bia
jail during the current year; four
under fifteen years aro now in Wake
jail, and many more at its work
house. Now there must bo added
the considerable number that escape
sentence for first offences, owing lo
tho commendable reluctance ot
Judges lo place the youthful offend
ers in association with hardened
criminals, thu? in the majority of
instances, dooming them to the addi
tional lessons iu degradation, and
thereafter a lite ot crime. Some
thing, to slay this current of evil,
loss of honest and industrious citi
zenship, and recruiting of the rankr.
of the enemies of society from th-.'
risinggeneration, is urgently needed.
About forty such Reform Schools
and Reformatories have been estab
lished in various Statei, except
umougour ueighboio ot the Southern
Atlantic Slates. Their statistics
show the reloimation and restora
