The Two Uppermost Topic in ho LearIslatnre-Sbadows of Coming Erent. SDeciai COTresDondence- of The Observer. - iIJIligh, February la The' work-" mg committee appointed dj tne late pTohiDitio'n convention in this city held conierence Tuesaay erenine with the joint committee of the Legislature on prohibition. The working commit tee was not even in tune with its own mind on the subject, and at the first fir forked off from a bill that Judge Edwin G. lleade submitted. Judge Keade was for absolute prohibition, to go into effect the 1st of May, and be voted on in August, when, if not rati fied by the people, all penalties f r vio lation be done away with by the courts and the law simply remain a dead let ter on the books till the next Legisla ture could repeal it. It was one of the judge's finest sights at constitutional hair-splitting. But it didn t set the coulter deep enough for the brethren. It proposed leaving the orchards and vinejards with the people to make brandy and wine for their own use. and for medical purposes. Just like a Presbyterian, said a gentleman to-day. Mr. Gudger antagonized the bill. He said Judge Reade only represented in tnese views a small minority or the convention. He was for an absolute law to be submitted to the people, and believed it was constitutional: be quot ed from several authorities sustaining his position, and from Judge Keade himself, in an opinion he had once given on similar legislation. Air. McDonald said he was lor abso lute prohibition, and they would hold the Legislatare responsible. Politics had nothing to do with it, and wasn't going into it, and if any party had to be neia together oy tne noops or a whis key barrel, it deserved to "bust." Mr. M. is a Republican. Such a sudden shelling of the legisla tive committee rather added to the un- evenness of the evening conference. but Judge Reade, with his kindly na ture for smoothing the down on a this tle, soon restored the best of feeling in assuring the joint committee of the full confidence of the prohibitionists in the good sense and integrity of the Legislature, whatever its action may be. THE JOINT PROHIBITION COMMITTEE then gave its views on the subject. Mr. Tucker was against the fruit feature of Judge Reade's bill. It would lead to perjury in many ways; the people would smear a barrel of whiskey over with dried apples and swear it was brandy. He had seen as yet but one common sense plan proposed and that was Mr. Ball s or Greensboro, to let the people vote prohibition or no prohibi tion, and if carried in the State, the Governor to call an extra session and have the law passed. They could do it in a day's time and at little cost. Mr. Grainger said the great diversity of the friends of temperance only showed they were not agreed among themselves, and it would be difficult for anyone to devise a law to satisfy all. He was for the most practical and com mon sense view to be submitted to the people. The Legislature should at least remedy the abuse of retailing liquor so as to make each barkeeper give a justi fied bond between one hundred and a thousand dollars, and if so much as a drink was sold to a man perceptibly drunk he might recover $25 to $30 out of that bond. Mr. Webster said he had a misty idea somewhere about his head that a tem perance law was never worth the paper it was written on, yet he would go for it with the majority, and while never noted lor having much love tor Mr. Ball he thought his plan the wisest letting the people vote whether or not they wanted it, and if they did give it to them. Mr. Bowman was unqualifiedly in favor of a straightout liquor law, but not getting that he was in favor of strong and decided restrictions. He was lull against Judge Reade s proposi tion to let up on apples and peaches, as that was the article under which his people groaned. Mr. Memtt was for submitting the law to the people, but he had a bad eye for drug stores and wished them spe cially guarded against selling "the ar dent, as he believed them a worse hell than the dram shops. And they adjourned. TIIE EDUCATIONAL, INTERESTS. The denominational colleges, Wake Forest, Davidson and Trinity, had their representatives before the joint com mittee on education this morning, at the Yarboro' House. Dr. Craven in troduced Rev. Mr. McKinnon, presi dent of the board of trustees of David son College, to address the committee Mr. McKinnon declared that he was a friend to the University, but was op posed to the $7,500 appropriation in that it was the wrong policy and hurt ful to all the colleges. He was against taxation for college education. David son had one hundred and eighteen stu dents the past year and assisted in the education of fifty-five poor young men. The three denominational colleges were taking care of one hundred and sixty five young men, and more than one half of these without any expense on their part. The University, with the $7,500 appropriated, had eighty-nine beneficiaries last year, and some of these, he knew, were the children of parentsable to educate them. He re ferred to two, representatives from Mecklenburg and Davie. Dr. Pritchard read a memorial from Presbyterians Baptists and Metho dists, against.- the appropriation. He mentioned one beneficiary at the Uni versity, enjoying the benefit of the ap propriation, whose father was worth 810,000 to $20,000, and another, whose was just making arrangements to bor row the money to send his son to Wake Forest, when he availed himself of this pecuniary advantage of the University. Mr. Huffham was devoted to North Carolina, and loved the University: he struck the first lick after the war to re vive it, through the Biblical Recorder. He cited an instance in his village of a poor young man named Joshua, a com municant of the Episcopal Church, who had served one session at the Universi- tv. and was then walking four miles to teach a free school. He asked him, "Joshua, why didn't you return?" He replied he was not able the Universi ty was closed-to him. He told him he thouerht be could get him back, for he knew he had friends at the Hill. Fi nally he did get him in at Wake For est. Besides another poor young man who wa f eoting it four miles to teach a free school, and, said he, tapping Dr. Pritchard on the shoulder, "How are they getting on tn "Doing tirst-rate," said the Doctor. Mr. Webster asked what Mr. Hoff- ham meant by the University being closed to the young man. Dr. Pritchard answered, it meant that the young man couldn't get board at Chapel Hill on credit. Mr. Manning, of Chatham, in reply to the ouestion if he represented Char el Hill, said he was not present as such, b it thought it was an anomalous pro ceeding, and proposed to be heard on it on another forum. He stated it was the county ;. commissioners' fault, and clearly against the law if any bene ficiary.jTTas at Chapel Hill whose pa rents "were able to educate him.

Tne Jbist of imtlllonaries Increasing:, JVlxo they are. The Washington correspondent of the Beston Herald thinks the day will come when a majority of the.United States senators will be millionaires, and hold their seats by virtue of the fact that they are millionaires, and gives his reasons for the opinion by calling the roll of rich men now, or soon to be senators : As I run my eye over the list of senators who will com pose the senate after March 4, 1881, I pick out nearly 20 senators, each one of whom is worth more than $300,000. The richest man in the senate, of course, will be Fair of Nevada, who is worth a great many millions. Probably he is asjworth much as all the other sena tors together. Next to him in estate, I suppose.is David Davis of Illinois, a man who half the reputation of having gath ered millions. Next to him it might be herd to name the senator, but, If Mr. Eugene Hale can be called the posses sor of Zach Chandler's millions, then he is very likely to be the third richest senator. The new senators will be con spicuous for their wealth. Miller of Califonia. Mahone of Virginia, and Sawyer of Wisconsin are known to be worth more than $10,000,000 apiece. Se wall of New Jersey is a railroad man, and reputed very wealthy, John Sher man, who is scarcely a newsenator,gets the credit for having more than $1,000, C00. Airoig the present senators who hold, and who write their fortunes with seven figures are : Blaine, of Maine, Cameron, of Pennsylvania, Davis, of West Virginia, and Plumb, of Kansas. The following are known to be worth more than $500,000 each: Hill, of Col orado, Brown, of Georgia, Gorman, of Maryland, McPherson, of New Jersey, and Pendleton, of Ohio. Van Wyck, the new man from Nebraska, must be rich, for he is reputed to have paid $60, 000 for his election. Many of the Sena tors are "comfortable." Among those not already mentioned who possess at least $100,000 apiece are Morrill, of Vermont, Anthony, of Rhode Island, Conkling, of New York, Rollins, of New Hampshire, Jones, of Nevada (most of the time), Saunders, of Ne braska, Windom, of Minnesota, Ferry, of Michigan, Kellogg, of Chicago (Louisiana), Allison, of Iowa, Harrison, of Indiana, and Bayard, of Delaware. These names make up more than one half the Senate, and they show that riches and Senatorships go together. More than half yes, very much more of the Senators are men who could never have gained their present posi tions if they had not first acquired large wealth. The shrewdest ones among them have, of course, increased their wealth a good deal since they have been in public life. The only downright poor men in the Senate are from the South, and they are nearly all engaged in enterprises by which they hope to enrich themselves. 'Call Me Bev," New York Sun. It was in the campaign of 1860, when Stephen A. Douglas was running for President, and Beverly Tucker was one of his ardent supporters. They had dined in company and the wine had flowed freely. Having changed his seat near the close of the feast, Doug las threw his arm affectionately around Tucker, and said, "Bev., when I am elected President, what shall 1 do for youV "Doug., replied Tucker, "whfn you are elected President, all I shall at k of you will be to put yonr arm around nA null vw.
