'mk biw perintendent of public instruction, be ing at sea on the subject, has therefore addressed a letter to the Attorney-General, asking of him, as the law officer of the government, an opinion on the subject. Attorney-General Kenan re plies TrraweirWrTf orate letter, which is publwhedj ft full in the Raleigh Observer, ht TnufsdaV. He recites all the facts bearingupon the question, and gives it as his very decided opinion tlnvt the speakers may yet sign the MIL He says: The constitution commands them to sign all bills which have passed three readings in each house; and while it is usual and proper that this should be ' done during the session, yet the law does not ? prohibit theta f rom signing after1 adjournment Iff a case ! where the facts and circumstances, such as the above, so fully show the necessity for it. and so clearlv justify it. The evi dence in this case is plenary that the bill passed. The part taken by the two houses has satisfied the requirement of t'.e constitution so far, as they are con carned. Thei presiding officers should now perform the part which the Jsame instrument requires of them affix their signature that the law may be valid and operative. ; Attorney-General' Kenan eites vari ous authorities in support of hisf posi tion. Among other cases he quotes that of People v. Bqwen, OBarb. 2 New York: Reports, ii whioh'tbef court; held that a bill signed by the Governor three davs after the adjournment of the General Assembly was thus given all tftedigirity 'J by s reason of the fact, as staled, that the Governor contined to be such after the adjourn ment of the General Assembly h lost none of the authority vested in hfni by reason of, the adjou r ripen t of that body. TheAttorrieyGeneral holds further that the view contrary to that held by himself would give to the presiding of ficers of the two houses a power which would amount practically to a veto, whereas it was flevef 4ntehde4 ; that they should be thus clothed. jDol.Kenan presents bis side of the case quite strongfyT amrihe"foTlowing I think, therefore, the school Dill s'iouW be sipned gnr, after adjourn ment.

For all that we cannot but think that the toleration of such loose ness as characterized the handling of this school bill is a precedent dangerous to set. HONORS I OTHEBWJSE. The appointment of a Michigan wlute man to the third auditorship of the treasury serves to point a moral. AX the beginning of the present session of Congress, when the Republicans were making their selections of the men for whoTn-'thjp ghofild -tdte fdr qfficers of the two houses. J. H. Rainey,-colored, ex-Congressman from South Carolina, was fixed upon to be voted for for secre tary of the Senate; he was so voted for bythe Republicans but of ,course as not elected, as-they well kpew he would not be. ThjffBonot wW foomplimenta ry." Ilis party, however, had shown that it was disposed to "honor" him, and he was emboldened to ask for the then vacant third auditorship of the treasury.

' In his speech in the Senate upon -the subject of troops,; at?the jtoltalfiv Blaine, in endeavoring' to show tjiat the Democratic anxiety on the subject was assumed, counted, iJvefTttie nninoer of soldiers in each of the Southern States, and when he came to speak of North Carolina, said: . ; r Arethe, Senators from that State alarmed at the immediate and terrible prospect of neing overrun by the army of ttoTMt&r tatesT- Wthehble' soiloL North-, Crolina .there ,are-but thfyiflol4ierguariiaf a fort it tfeei rrromn oi uapeu ear river just um iy. This is sophistry, as Mr. Blaine well knows. By parity of reasoning he must hold that rTderal soldiers have not intimidated Southern voters in the past, for the number of troops in the South now is as large as it has. been for some years ; and he knows and every body knows that troops have heretc- Jipra., interfered . with. the freedom of elections. But even i if I this were net go efen supposing there are notf suni Cientsoldjers ii$ne tsouch to jnenajf the merits of the Question. Let the law stand as it now stands and it would require but a short time for a President who was so disposed to throw into the Southern States a suffi cient force to over-awe the people and to carry hh . election! whatever way hef chose. To repeal the law will be to guard against this contingency not an improbable contingency, either; to allow it to stand will be to endorse it. We contend, too, for the principle. Whether there are a dozen or a million soMiers in North Carolina it is contrary Jo the spirit of; republican institutions 16 pay that an 'understrapper may draw these dozen or million soldiers around the polls to supervise the action of free men ia the casting of their ballots. Mxr Blaine's arguments is rather adroit but it will not bear inspections The Baltimore Tragedy. Amid all this carnival of crime in which the oountry;; is now reveling, .thcriy have been few cases which present more as pects of sadness than" which occurred Wednesday in Baltimore, and the excellent lesson of morality which the Sun of that city draws from it, cannot be taken too closely to heart We re fer to the case editorially simply for the sake of giving prominence to the clos ing sentence, as follows, from the Sun's editorial comments upon the tragedy: Itlsonoecaskais dflhis sort that so ciety comes to recognize and to admit the force and relevancy of those great moral laws by which it is governed, and every departure from which the civil law is compelled to demand a strict account of, in order to keep the associations of men from forcible and violent dissolution. refiembered. f I -SpeHef fiandsui nas stated tnat there are mn&fy-sbf names on the' clerk's lilt for speeches on the legislative, execu tive and judicial appropriation bill.

A rUusation in Ibe Tannage Tria'.' -i There was a decided sensation in the trial of Rev. Mr. Taimage, at New York, Tuesday, when the Rev. Mr. Wood, a member of Xhe Presbytery, testified that Mr. Cosby (one of the "prosecutors) de clared in conversation with him last summer that-: Mr, Taimage was a "liar arid a scoundrel" and a disgrace to the ministry." Mr. CosJty;. when; on .the stand last .Thursday, asserted, that he had never made such a statement. He cross-questioned Mr. Wood closely as to the exact words, but the witness ad hered to his story of the conversation, and said that Mr. Cosby had used simi lar language in reference to "other good men."

The rule proposed tb tbameaed requires removals and appointments to be approved by the president of the Senate. Without action being taken the morning hour closed and the Senate took up the army appropriation bill. Randolph, of New Jersey, addressed the Senate, alluding to the prominent events in the. early history of his State, significant as showing the predominnce then of the spirit of resistance to unjust laws, which now appears in the pro posed repeal of the laws authorizing mifitaiinteTfereiee in civil affairs. Several Siitorslncidentally spoke against the practice or lists being pre- o aesirea to speaK xion. aardSai(fhe proposed to ad dress the Senate and country at length upon the proposed legislation. Senator Morgan also indicated his in tention to speak, and said the Southern Representatives regarded these as con stitutional questions rather than mat tera affecting recent disturbances be tween! the North and the! Soth, and of future influence on the destinies of this great country. They had an equal interest with other sections in the development of the true glory of the American Union, nation or govern ment, and were desirous of assisting in the management of the government of for the people and by the people.

House. The morning hour, which on Friday is set apart for business of a private character, was dispensed with. The subsidiary silver coin bill was therefore not taken up and the House went into committee of the whole on the legislative . appropriation bill and was addressed by 'McKinley, bf Ohio, in opposition to the proposed legisla tion to repeal the Federal laws. He denounced that legislation as a bold and wanton attempt to wipe from the law every protection of the ballot-box and to surrender it into the unholy hands of hired repeaters and ballot-box stuffers at the North and of "tissue bal lot" cheats at the South. House, of Tennessee, followed, ex pressing his astonishment that any man would be found willing that the Federal election law should be retained on the statute book. He defended the Southern Representatives. Burrows, of Michigan, advocated the retention of the election laws. He as serted that the jBegroos in XiOuisiana were fleeing from oppression, and couched his declarations in very strong language. Gibson, of Louisiana, made several efforts to get in a disclaimer of this statement, but Burrows declined to yield. The debate became very ani mated, the speaker assailing the Demo cratic party in the House, nvhorn he styled conspirators. At the conclusion of his remarks, Messrs. Gibson and Elam both warmly repelled the charges that citizens of Louisiana were intimidated as voters. There will be several evening sessions next week for debate Only. A TILT BETWEEN SPOFFORD AND KEL- LOGO. A lively passage occurred during to day's session of the .Senate: committee on privileges and' elections in regard to the SjKfford-Kellpgg case. ,Jdge, Spof- loru, in inn cuurst; vi nis vurguinenL, re iterated the, assertion contained in his memorial, to the-effeetthat Kellogg fad bribed members of the Legislature to jVDte lor. nis election to the Senate.
