JLEGISIjATURE of north caro-

Wednesday,' January 15 1S73.
SENATE.
The Senate was called to order at
12 o'clock by Lieutenant Governor
Brogden. He said:
Senators : The, Constitution of
North , Carolina declares that the
Lieutenant Governor shall preside as
President of the Senate. Having
been elected to this office bv the peo-
ple.of the State on the first Thursday
of August. 1872. and having taken
and subscribe! rn; oath of office, I
appearbefore i jroujUthia dayt your

allhallary;tmct fairly ancNni
partiajij khhwing no party but what
reonscientiously -believe to be right,
aud shall rely upon your kindness
and indulgence to cover my errors.
My past experience has taught me
that it is almost impossible for the
presiding officer of a legislative body,
composed of course, of so many dif
ferent minds and opinions, to give
entire satisfaction . on all occasions.
But it will be my constant aim and
effort to act according to parliamen
tary laws and decisions and the rules
ot order for the government oi the
Senate.
As you were in session for about
one month before your late recesss,
you are informed of the situation of
our public affairs and the financial
condition of the State, and you may
rely upon my cordial co-operation
in support of all wise and judicious
measures tending to promote the
happiness and prosperity of the peo-
ple.
The public institutions of the State
should, receive the careful attention
of the Legislature. The Institutions
for the Deaf and Dumbahd the Blind,
the Asylums for the Insane, and also
the Penitentiary, are all supported
by the tax-payers of the State, and it
is the duty of the Legislature to pro
perly in vestiga'.e the management of
these institutions, and to allow no
injustice or oppression, no favoritism
or partiality to be wrongfully prac
ticed by any of their managers or
employees.
Let us faithfully attend to the ed
ucational interests and necessities of
the children of the State. Let us
provide necessary and proper means
for the cultivation of the intellect
and the improvement of the mind
and morals of the rising generation.
Our Constitution wisely provides "for
a general and uniform system of
Public Schools, wherein tuition shall
be free of charge to all the children
ot the btate, between the ages of six
and twenty-one years."
Our present free school law is deh-
cient, and needs emendation and im-
provement. I believe in the truism
that morality and intelligence are
the only sure basis of our govern
ment." A well educated and Christ
ian people are always prepared and
qualified to guard and protect their
rights and liberties
The main object of wise legislation,
should be to correct the errors of the
past, and to pass such laws for the
future as experience and the necessi-
ties oi tne times may point out to
be judicious, necessarv and proper
In all legislation reckless prodigal-
ltv and wasteful extravagance are m
iurious to the best interests of the
people, and should be avoided as
much as possible.
Economy forms one of the promi
nent virtues and duties ot a Republi
can Government. It does not on-
sist, however, in withholding from
faithful public service a just com pen
sation : neither does it consist in ac
cording with parsimonious hands in
providing for the public necessities
JBut it consists in closing every un
necessary drain on the public Treas-
ui y ; and Also, for. the same, purpose,
there is strenuously required a judi
cious application of the appropria
tions to their objects, and a vioorous
execution of the laws regarding them.
Worth Carolina has within her bor
ders all the elements of a great State
But her vast agricultural and mine
ral resources are not yet fully devel
oped. Her people are chiefly engag

difference of principle," and that, as
citizens of the same republic, we are
all equally interested in the honor,

country. ; ; v ' 5 - - 5 - ;
I congratulate you Senators, and
the people of North Carolina, upon
an era of good feeling which, has
dawned upon the . conntryv aud the
calm which has followed our State
and National elections of 1872. It
show's the wisdom, virtue dnd effica
cy of our republican constitutions
and laws, when six millions of voters
in the United States can gopeaceabiy
kto the omnipotent ballot-box, with
out any force, tear, or intimidation-,
and cast their votes for the man of
their choice.
Differences of opinion in relation
to the affairs of government may be
conducive in the end to the discovery
of truth, and a frank investigation of
matters of public importance ought
never to b discouraged. But I think
that well-meaning and sober-minded
men will agree that there has been
too much passion and too little rea
son ; .too much party and too little
regard for principle ; and that in ex
amining the acts of our public ser
vants, there has sometimes been a
fearful disregard of truth and justice.
Let us hope for more generosity and
charity nereaiter. Witn no vain re
grets for the past, let us look hope-
tully forward to the rewards of, the
future. Let us try to promote the
further development of our vast and
various resources, and improve the
credit of our State. Let us try to
keep step with the progressive spirit
of the times, and the onward march
of events, and show to the world that
we have not lived entirely in vain m
the latter part of the nineteenth cen
tury. Let us try to preserve untar
nished the honor of JNorth Carolina.

her according to the measure of our

that we have a country to serve in

Indian Policy. Senator Morton,
of Indiana, in a recent debate in
Congress concerning the policy of
the United Sta,tes towards the Indi
ans, said:
"It is true that there have been no
Indian wars in Canada within per
haps one hundred and twenty-five
years, although the Indians have
been graduallj' receding and giving
up their territories to occupation
What is the reason of it ? Because
from the first in Canada there" has
been pursued a different policy from
what we have pursued : there has
not been that aggressive-policy
The rights of the Indians have been
regarded there. . They have been
kindly treated ; they have been re
cognized as having rights. . Ii other
words, the Indian policy in Canada
has been what the policy or YY llliam
Penn was in Pennsylvania.: It ; has
been a kind and. an honest policy;
the Indians have, been dealt with as
human beings and as having rights,
and their rights have been regarded,
Treaties made with them have been
observed : and I think that the noli
cy we are now entering on of so
treating our Indians is going back to
true principles.

Lydia Thompson's Bale of Cotton.
Our readers are doubtless aware,
Miss Lydia Thompson, of the Eng

bale of cotton bv the citizens of Sa

'What will she do with it? has been
the frequently asked question, and
that question was decided in St. Louis
on the 4th inst.; when the famous
bale of cotton was sold by Cap t. Mc
Donough, Chief of Police, to whom
it had been presented by Miss ihomp-
son, tor the beneht ot the city poor.
The cotton was; put up at auction
and sold to Mayor Brown for $150,
who gave it back for the benefit of
St. Vincent de Paul's Society, when
it was again sold for $105. It was
again put up for the benefit of the
poor, sold for $100 Miss Thompson's
agent being the buyer, it was again
returned and sold for $75 lhe last
buyer had it put up for the benefit of
the Southern Orphan s Home, of
Kansas City, when it was sold for the
fifth time for $75, making a total of
$500 received for one bale of cotton,
that sum going to help the poor.

subject, bir William Hamilton ob
