IQ; JKjHI 4UGpr:BEBATES. Tlie General Assembly atdts recent session passed a bill entitled "an act to prevent discrimination in freight tariffs by railroad companies operating in this State." The bill as it became a law has never, been published, in full and there hasWeit bbch anxiety to'lesirh iti pro visions. In response to a letjter on the subject, Mr. Orchard, of Cabarrus, who introduced the original bill on the sub ject, has kindly furnished us with the text of his bill ; but for his bill the Sen ate substituted the following, which was subsequently concurred in by the House ; and the following, therefore, we take to be. if not the text, at least the essence, of the bill as it became a law i AN-ACT TO PBKVESt, DISCRIMINATION fMFREfcirf JtARlFrS BTlKAlLBOADS ftfEKAjINCf Iff THtlf ST.VpE. it i shall Be uHhwful for railroad Miies obefatifeffl in this btate to freflshts o tWnllowre bates on freights, and all persons whether rail road officials or others, who snail De concerned in the pooling of freights, or who fhaiy directly (or indirectly allow or accept rebates on freights, shall be guilty of a misdemeanoE, and on con viction shall be fined one thousand (1000) dollars and imprisoned not less than twelve months.

To-day the con vention of railroad managers meets in , t lialejgrKto fconsijjler the ROl. question ahd'to oiecfde "wh'at; Is Itiepessary to be done by them in view of the prohibi tions laid upon them in this act. They may secure legal advice and test the le gality of the law or they may shape their course so as to conform with it. It is no secret, however, that some law vers maintain that an action under this act is not recoverable. It is maintained by these that it is too vague and the language too arnbtgosoustain an indictment. The term "pooling freights," they hold, is slang, and next to mean ingless. Again, they say that even if the language was such as to sustain an indictment, the act would be worthless because an agreement to pool freights, i made in? 8outh Carolina,; )$dul&- not be indictable here, for the reason that the overt act was not committed in this State. . A On the contrary it is held that by all rules of construction a court must treat the word "pooling", in its technical sense, or in the case of a . suit against a railroad in its common acceptation as applied to freights. In other words it would be construed, in accordance with well-established custom in rervm na tnra. The question is purely a legal one and we do not undertake to decide it. We; merely give the arguments pro ind con. It will be interesting to know what fic tion the meeting to be held to-day Will take in the premises. At all events, so far as Charlotte is concerned, no good is -4o result to us. from, the new law. .Pools go to pieces by reason of their own weight; they always have done so and always will, and our people have never asked for their formation to be prohibited by law. To this extent the law is useless. As to the clause which- forbids the giving or taking of rebates this is to our injury, ;as the business men of Rock Hill. Spartanburg and Greenville points with which we come in competition are at liberty to take rebates and possess to this extent an ad vantage over us. It might be well de fended if the bill redounded to the ben efit of other North Carolina towns, even if this were at Charlotte's expense, but so far as appears this is not the casej There is no provision -preventing dis crimination in freight charges, and thi effect of the bill is to work injury td iiorth Carolina towus where there ;is , ; ' railroad, competition, without any cor responding benefit to those where there is none.

The Senate made no confirmations to- dalorsE. Atkins, in rising to make a motion to adjourn, stated that he thought it probable that to-morrow morning one or perhaps Both of the ap propriation bills would be introducer5. The Democratic members of the House and Senate desired to have a conference on the subject of those appropriation bills, and would prefer to hold that con ference to-day rather than postpone it until to-night. .

Objection was made to the introduc tion of F rye's resolution, and he gave notice that lie would next Monday move to suspend the rules and adopt it. Conger then moved to reconsider the vote by which Cox's resolution was re ferred. Pending the motion to lay that mo tion on the table, the House adjourned. feollrilcWada-plays "RifVrfah Win toe'?4n'Wilroijijjbbn on the nights of the 3ist and 1st. v A negro named Dick Crapper was drowned in the river at Wilmington last Saturday night, his boat upsetting.
