It was too common an occurrence for mer chants to make advances based upon the crop, and when the time for pay ment rolled round the crop was not there, and the merchant lost his debt. Mr. Austin said that in his county the staunchest f armers, with plenty of stock and): lands, gave liens, and wanted no interference in their mode of .doing business. .

Senate bill to provide for the comple tion of the "Western asylum for the in sane, the special order, was taken up. The original bill asked for $30,000 per year for to continue the work. Mr. Byiium offered a substitute re ducing theappropriation to $25,000 per annum for the same period. Mr. By! uum explained the provisions of his substitute; beyond the mere appropria tion, and urged the prosecution ot the work Mr. McEachern urged the rapid com pletion of the building, that the desti tute insane now scattered throughout the State might be cared for. Mr. Graham, of Lincoln, thought it better to stop, work and sell the build ing as it stood. He thought it likely that . fcBterprising parties might be in dueea W finish, the building at their o wn cost and take, into it such as were able to bear their -own expenses., He sent to the clerk s desk and nad read for iri formation an amendment in the form of a substitute' he would offer to the propped amendment of Mr. JBynum at thftproper time. Mr. Bynum again took the floor in re ply to Mr. Graham, and went into the history oTthe buiTdlng. aridlshowed that while the presqrno thelaat Assembly was not responsible for the enterprise, it was nevertheless the duty of those having the State's interest in charge to continue the work as a matter of econ omy as well as of necessity. Mr. Dortch moved to amend Mr. By num's amendment by providing $20,000 for the asylum for the colored insane at Qoldsborov Mr. Dortch said the site had been selected, the grounds laid out, and one wing and the central part of the building nearly finished since the last meeting of the Legislature, and the pulMlng would soon he in a eondmonJ 10 accommuuateaoouc Z4U patients.

Senate bill to amend the charter of the Rutherford & Spartanburg Rail road passed its third reading and was ordered to be enrolled. MTreiLiBOR. ' Senate bill to apportion convict labor to the several werks of the State, the special order for 8 p. mM was taken up, the question being on its f secona read ing, The bill provides tht thl Qoyer nr and hoard of directors of the peni tentiary shall apportion all the convict Sbor of the State as to them may seem .iof anA rlorht.1 I Mr. Davidson thought the bill should be referred,tohecnimittee on inter- ten Mr. Shackelford, who introduced the bill, considered the matter so simple that any man coujd understand it, and was opposed to the reference. Mr. Caldwell thought the bill would prove detrimental to the State's inter ests. The State was largely interested in some of the works, and should have more consideration. Mr. Nicholson considered the pro rata system proposed fair, still he was bound to stand by the pledges given during the session of the number of convicts pledged to the Western & Yadkin Val ley Railroad Company. Mr. "Dortch objected that the bill made no distinction; between works in which the State was largely interested and those of a private character. Ev ery railroad bill passed this session had a provision that the force granted to the Western North Carolina Railroad should not be reduced. He suggested an amendment discriminating in favor of the State's works. Mr. Davidson offered an amendment providing that the Western North Car olina Road shall be secured the 500 con victs awarded to it, and the Western & Yadkin Valley Railroad its 250, making 750 in all, the remainder of the convicts (several hundred) to be distributed pro rata to the other works. Mr. Shackelford objected to this amendment. The east demanded her share of the convict labor, which she would now get by the proposed plan. Mr:les"ured theadcrptie-trf -fche SSSander are w attention' tothe difficulty of compelling the penitentiary board to keep a large number of con victs locked up at the State's expense, whilst those to whom they may have been allotted are preparing to use them. He thought the convicts should be giv en to those who were ready to work them and bear their expense. He fa vored the committal of the bill, and made a motion to that effect, which was rejected by a vote of 26 to 13. Mr. Davidson now urgea ine passage of his amendment. Mr. Nicholson thought all the con victs could be kept at work where the State's interests were involved till re quired elsewhere. This would meet the difficulty of their being kept in idleness in the penitentiary. Mr. Dortch moved to amend by pro viding that the convicts allowed to the Western North Carolina Railroad shall not be reduced below five hundred. All the railroad bills passed this session con tained a proviso to that enect, ana ne had voted for them all save one. Mr. Nicholson felt bound to stand by the contract involved in the provisions of those bills. Mr. Scales moved to amend Mr, Dortch's amendment by exempting from the operations of Mr. Shackel ford's bill 200 convicts for the Western & Yadkin Valley Road, thus giving up 50 of the number pledged. Mr. Shackelford accepted the amend raent of Mr. Dortch, but objected to that of Mr. Scales. Mr. ResDass also objected to Mr Scales' amendment, and thought he ought to stand up to the pro rata propo- siuuu. Mr. Bryan, of Pender, thought that as the State owned 11-14 ot the stock in the Western & Yadkin Valley Road, and but in the Western N. V. Railroad, those works should at least be consul ered of equal dignity in the distribu tion of the convict labor. He thought there would be enoueh labor for both these roads and plenty left for all other roads. The question was now put on Mr Scales' amendment and it was passed 22 to 17. The bill as amended then passed its second reading and was made the sie- cial order for to-morrow. ORDER OF BUSINESS. Mr. Williamson introduced a resolu tion providing thatfrom and after to morrow no bill of a urivate character shall be considered till all bills of a pub lic nature shall be disposed' of. Calen dar. Senate bill to amend the charter of the town of Salisbury passed its thin reading and went to the House HOrSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. March :5. There was no morning session. AFTERNOON SESSION 2 p. Btt. The bill to provide for the collection of taxes by the State and by the several counties of the State, (the machinery act), came up as the special or&ejr. The House went into committee of the whole, and the bill was considered by sections. "Section 1 was amended verbally and approved. Sections 2, 3, 4. 5, ?, 7 and S were ap proved. Section 9 was amended so as to ex empt weaiing iipparei from taxation and approved. Sections 10, 11 and 12 were approved. Mr. McGehee here suggested that out of the sixty sections contained in the bill now under consideration, only-nine changes were proposed,; . Tbafcof these changes Ave nad already beerf -acted on. He suggested that it was now sufficient to consider the four remaining altera tions which were contained in sections 13, 14, 17 and 53.; The House agreed with Mr. McGehe& an4.;0r(iered the sections named to be first considered. Section 13 was amended so as to ex empt the Knights of Honor and G$od Samaritans from taxation' and approved vSections 14 and ,17 were' approved.
