' In the House on Friday last, discussing the county government bill, Mr. Oakley sent forward an amendment "that all county commissioners be required to give a bond in the sum of $2,000 for the faithful discharge of their duties and the proper expenditure of all moneys." Mr. Prilchard did not admire that part of the old constitution which required voters to be owners of land to be entitled o vote for Senators, and that if the present system ii allowed to remain we will soon have the property qualification. He thought the change, in this body was due to the arbitrary action of the com missioners of Buncombe county, and not the question of the stock law. He hoped Mr. Ewart's amendment, exempting cer tain eastern counties from the provisions of the county government bill, would not prevail. - . i Mr. Holt favored the present system of county government, because it is just and right. He sent forward the follow ing amendment : "Provided,. that when any county is shown by the census to have a majority of colored voters, it shall be exempted from this act." if Mr. Brogden read a long speech from manoBcript, he refused to be interuptad. His speech caused much laughter.-. i- Mr., Parsons warmly endorsed the. present system, thought Mr. Ewart's amendment was clearly unconstitutional. Mr. Macon favored Mr. Oakley's amend ment Mr. Ewart said he expected every. Re publican to vote against his amendment, he attacked the Democratic party for not bringing its criminals, to Justice and mentioned Littiefleld. Mr. Overman said that the Democratic Governor had sent both to Florida and New Jersey for Littiefleld, but had each time been refused by the 'Republican authorities of both 8tates. - - Mr. Sutton thought the only object of Mr. .b wart's amendment was to make party capital.
