The let ter was sent forward to the clerk's desk in the Senate, Saturday, by Mr. Robin son, of Macon, and read in full, and as incorporated? irlf his I remarks is 'is fol lows: , , , . - j , RAL-IGH, NVCi FoUaGlt has just been discovered. by aj)or4,ion of the Dublic?that ten rarsoni wfco were mem bers of the Legislature, elected in 1878,4- were guilty 01 urawuig iuuiiey iwiue Vrm fhn Sif-afj troaanrv ivhpn t.hAV entitled to draw only once. The way in which the State was robbed was as .follows r James LSPobinson, who was then a Senator ; G. S. Ferguson, who was also a Senator) E. L. Vaughan, R. 'McBrayer;1 Ed wardf Ransom, van V. Richarson, W. R. Terry, A. C Sharpe, W. GMotrU and H. E. Baxter, all Democrats, except Terry, who were members of the House of Representa tives in 1876, were appointed deputies by the sheriffs of their respective coun ties. The Legislaturamet on the third Monday of November,lS76. When these ten members came to Raleigh to attend the session of the Legislature they brought the election returns of their respective counties, and'delivered them to-the Secretary of State, as deputy sheriff s . Foe this service each of. the t0Tf ifoaur milnaora at. fha r-ito rf 1ft nonfa a mile, and $3 a day while serving the State as deputy sheriffs. It now appears, according to the Srinted report of the State Auditor for ie fiscal year ending-Sept 30, 1877, that the ten persons named also drew mile age as members of the Legislature for the number of miles and at the same rate for which they had previously been paid by the State as deputy sheriffs. The amount thus wrongfully obtained, and for which there is no authority in law, is $634.60. A committee of three Democrats and one Republican examin ed the vouchers in the Treasurer's of fice, and detected this illegal use of the Sublic money. The name of Jas. L. tobinson. was referred to In. tbtlcpm mittee's report as first" drawn but. through Robinson's influence his name' was stricken out. All of the gentleman who spoke to. the article Mr. Robinson in the Sen ate and Messrs. Vaughan and Richard son fn he House pronounced it libel ous, and each explained that while he had made the returns for bis sheriff as charged, he accounted to the sheriff for the mileage which; he (ihqj member) drew as deputy! ' ' There is another phase to the case, as indicated by Mr. Robinson's resolu tions, printed5 in'Hhe' legislative pro ceedings this morning. He indicates in these reaolutiorif and in his, speech that while J. b.lHarxis who ishe joVth Carolina correspondent of the New York Times probably wrote the arti cle, it was inspired by some one con nected in some manner with, the Ral eigh News. Mr. Robinson did not men tion either Harris or the News by name. but his intimations are unmistakable; The News answers for its part that if Mr. Robinson means it he is wide of the mark; that nobody authorized to speakfor it ever made"any-threats; as intimated, by Mr.: Robinson,' tha if western men did not vote for it for public printer it would attack the West em North Carolina Railroad and light further appropriations for it. This, then, is the state of affairs; Lieutenant-Governor Robinson . and others are persuaded that the News has blood in its eye - against them because they did not support it for public paint er; Mr. Robinson understood that he would be attacked by the News or its friends, and now since this attack has been made upon him through the New York Times, he believes the News peo pie put Loge Harris up to it It is a tempest in a tea pot; muchcry and little wboV hut in it all sticks are being fashioned with which to break the party head in 1880.

' ' Gariantt saia ne aia not Know wnat motive the Senator from Massachusetts had in introducing his amendment, but it was a curious spectacle to exhibit to the American people at this late hour of the day, while the government pen sions Longstreet by a small postoffice in Georgia, a Republican administration sent Gov. Orr as minister to Russia, and JVlosbv. who boasted that ne was the Marion in the second war, to China, as consul. He felt satisfied that Jeffer son Davis would scorn the pension; that gentleman did not ask it. He had served under Mr. Davis in a civil capa city. Mr. Davis was a gallant soldier in the Mexican war. His services were on record and although they did not sur pass, they equalled those ot Greece and Rome, Mr. Shields took a differeut view from both sides. He thought that by singling out Jefferson Davis from ten millions of people in the South he was giving him distinction greater than he de served. Bailey said the country was to-day longing and wishing for peace, and he appealed to the Senators on the other side to do nothing to prevent the people of the South, having lost all in war, and poor, restoring their industries.

The proposition before them came from a Senator of a State (Massachusetts) whose treason had been more violent and longer than that of any other State in the Union. Thur- man did not want to pick out Jefferson Davis as a martyr when all others who nad acted witn film waiK the earth un challenged. Mr. Lamar; replying to Hoar, said: be must confess his surprise and regret that the Senator from Massachusetts should have wantonly, without provo cation, nung this insult. The chair (Edmunds) called the sena tor to order for this language. , lamar l suppose it is in order to fling insults but out of order for those wno are insulted to hurl back the blow, I aDneal from the decision of the chair. Tne question being, taken the decision of the chair was overruled yeas 15, nays 27.
