Many friends of Mr. Pearson says his
attack on Lieut-Gov. Stedman was an
indiscretion others pronounce it unjust

notice.
The question is could not Senator Pon
have refused to take the chair, when re
quested to do so by President Stedman,
pending tne stock-law discussion.

Mr. Pearson in his speech yesterday
Slid that Mr. Furman was running the
State Senate, and that the people should
know it. Mr. Pearson is himself trying
to run the entire Legislature and both
political parties, and is mad with any one
who stands in his way. The only thing
he can succeed in running is himself
and that will be into the ground,
Mr. Pearson's attack yesterday on ti e
State'Senate, and OC the President of
that bolv, Lieut-Crov. Stedman, was as
uncalled for as it was uniu. t. We had
believed that parliamentary courtesy
would prevent a member of one House
defaming the character of the other but
in this instance the body itself, its Presi
dent and one of its committees, are
aspniled.
Wc were pleased to see yesterday that
Messrs. Pearson, Wells and Da vies were
not seriously hurt near the depot Tues
day night. Mr. Wells had his leg badly
cut; and Mr. Davies made a narrow es
cape from severe injuries. Mr. Pearson
was only bruised. Tne accident was
only prevented from being serious by
several other parties coming to the res
cue.
Many were the comments yesterday
of the denunciation of Mr. R. M. Fur-
man in the resolution adapted by the
anti-stock law meeting held here. Mr.
Pearson's effort in the resolutions
(which were approved by him) was to
sustain himself in the contest in Ral
eigh as to whether he shall control
the Senate as well as the House. Mr.
Pearson's efforts to pass his pet measures
through the Senate have proved abor
tive, and Mr. Furman is charged with
the failure.
Surely decency and good taste
should have restrained Mr. Pearson
in his wanton and unjustifiable at
tack upon Lt. Goy. Stedman, in a
meeting pf hiB friends, to a majority
of ffhoni.Gov. Stedman was an en
tire " 6tangeri; without giving1", tns

The failure of Mr. C. H. Miller, agent
for the Smith property, to perfect ar
rangements to remove the old Central
Hotel building on North Main street, and
place in its stand a handsome brick block,
is greatly regretted. We hope, ' never
theless, this will be done soon. The old
building is located in the very heart of
me city, is oi aeciaeuiy ancient style,
ana its removal to give place to modern
buildings would add greatly to the ap
pcarance of the street and would at the
sarre time prove- of great pecuniary
benefit to the owners ol the' property.
We hope Mr. Miller will renew his efforts
to accomplish tne desired end.

present status in the Legislature.
Pd motion, CoL V. S. Lusk was called
to, the chair, and the representatives of
the press requested to act as Secretaries.
Col. Lusk, in explaining' the object of
the meeting, said it was to enquire who
were the. representatives of Buncombe
county the representatives elected or
outsiders in the Senate chamber. The
Senate having refused to. adopt the ac
tion of the House as to affairs in Bun
combe county would lead to the latter
impression. "''
Mr. E. D. Carter moved that a com-
tee of one be appointed irom each town
ship to report resolutions for the consid
eration of the meeting, and the follow
ing gentlemen were appointed:
Black Mountain- James McXair. .
Swannanoa George Young.
Fair View A H Pinkerton.
Limestone W R Murray.
Avery's Creek R Ledbetter.
Lower Hominy A H Bryson.
Upper Hominy Geo. Howell.

Asheville E D Carter.
Mr. Wm. M. Davies, of Henderson (En
grossing Clerk of the House), responded
to calls and made a vigorous attack on the
Senate substitute for the Pearson repeal
bill, which he characterized as the Furman-'
Wilson bill. He ai'gued for the principles
of Democracy and Republicanism 100
years ago, and deeply regretted that we did
not find such democracy of sentiment and
practice existing now. ' He emitted his
anathema and maranattema upo.i the Sen
ate and the doings of Furman, and the
workings of all who wished to place upon
the people "this damnable tyranny," and
the destruction of the general principles of
freedom as exercised by the gentlemen
opposed to the7views he advocated, were
put in his usual forcible style.
Representative Alonzo Wells responded
to calls. He said he had escaped severe
injuries the night before by an accident to
a "stock law'' carriage which had upset
with him, but that he was enabled to be
present upon one good leg. He was here
to report to his people in part what had
been accomplished by him and his associ
ate in the House and what he had been
unable to accomplish by the action of the
Independents on certain measures (of
course no reference was made in this con
nection to Mr. Pearson's vote on the
County Government question). The Sen
ate so far had set down on everything
that had been introduced in the House for
the relief of the people, and this meeting
was for the purpose of giving expression
to the people of Buncombe as to what they
wanted. But little or no trouble had beeu
experienced in the House in getting through
the Pearson stock law repeal bill, but the
Senate had seen fit to kill this measure at
the instance of the delegation that had been
sent down to defeat Mr. Pearson's meas
ure:' He named the delegation, and de
nounced them as fat-doodles. 'These men
should not have wielded an influence
against the 1200 majority which Buncombe
gave last fall He said he had but little
hope at this late day in the session of any
thing being accomplished for the relief of
the people. The House, had refused the
Furman-Wilson substitute, and he consid
ered llur,'as well as the original bill dead
the only hope now was with the conference
committee of the - two houses. Should
nothing be done, the people would' be left
in no worse condition than they are in now.
At this juncture the committee on reso
lutions reported the following resolutions,
which were adopted : - - .
We, the citizens of Buncombe
county in mass-meeting assembled,
who believe that the sovereignty of
the people, in our democratic form of
government should be a practical as
well as theoretical fact in political
ethics, and should me -a now, as it
originally meant something more
than an empty political dogma; and
that the principle of local self-gov
ernment should be with us as it was
with our forefathers something more
than a Utopian dream or a dema
gogue's argument; and that the deni
al of the people's -'sovereignty, and
the violation, to the smallest degree,
of their sacred right to determine all
local questions - for. themselves, is
an open menace to the perpetuity of
our libertine and subversive of our
constitutional freedom. - : J"
" Raolved sl. That we condemn

of the county, against the well-known

tute for Mr. Pearson's ; tU, recently
passed by an? almost unaiiimous vote
in tne House ot Jiepresenuiuves, w
submit the question of the stock-law
to the qualified voters of the various
townships of the county, as an insult
to the people, a snare and h delusion,
and an attempt on the part of cer
tain officious individuals to play a
despicable trick, and- one worthy
only to- be originated by; him who
conceived, and by foul strategem,
brought about tne premature ao
f ournmeat. in June. 18.15, of the
joint meetiDgi of commissioners and
magistrates. - . . ; , '

the question of the stockUw to the
people of the various townships of
this county, as the only fAr, honest
and democratic methoiS&vrtth the!

.privilege of voting on the stock-law,
as provide J by Mr. l'earson's diu.
we uemaua it as a rignt wnicn is
ours by inheritance,- ours by pur
chase, ours as Ireemen. . - ,
Resolved 5th, That while we would
not disparage the good sense and
judgment of the Senate of the North
Carolina .Legislature, at tne same
time, regarding the stocc-iaw as
purely a local question, we think
the people of the -various townships
of Buncombe county, are the better
judges of their local wants; and
knowing the people 01 tne county to
be honest, intelligent and progress
ive, we feel safe in saying, if the
question should be dermined accord
inc to the provisions of Mr. Pear
son's bill, in such localties as it would
prove a benefit, the people. would
adopt it; and believing, as wo do, in
tne nracticoi application 01 tne tun-
damentai principle ot local sen
government, where the law would,
in the honest judgment of a majority
ot tne people, irom a narasmp, tney
should be allowed the right to. reject
it. , .
Jicsolved G. That the 'question of wheth
cr or not a ttook-law would benefit Bun
combe county can not be safely deter
mined bv reasoning from analogy and
experience, as it has never been practi
cally operated in a section abounding in
mountain ranges like many portions of
this countv. .
Resolved 7. That we ' can assure the
democratic members of the North Caro
lina Senate, that they could not take any
step more detrimental to the best inter'
ests of their party in this section of the
State, than to force the stock-law upon
that portion of Bun combe county where
rh rwrde donot Tract it sad re csrtioa,
tnem time it is unsafe,torely too implicit
ly either upon the advice or representa
tions ol one Kobt. m. t urman, whose
course as a self-jonstituted leader of his
party has been such in this county, as to
make tne name of democracy a synonym
for trickory, jobbery and misrule: and
wc feel justified in saying that !too much
credence snouid not be tiven nis unveri
fied statements, since the Supreme court
have decided that they cannot believe
him on Oith.
(See McNa'r vs. CooAnissioner of Ban-
come. 93 N. C. R.) , .. .
HetdvedS. lhat we heartily endorse
tne course of our senator and .represen
tatives in the Legislature, in carrying
out, to the best of their ability, the
pledges made tbe people in the last
campaign. -: - - ' - .- . . ...
Kesoloed 9.-1 hat tnis meeting appoint
a delegation to visit the Legislature in
person, and urge upon that body the pas
sage of Mr. Pearson's bill, and the- rejec
tion of any and all substitutes therefor.
Kesoivcd 1U. That the statement . made
to the Senate committee on propositions
and grievances by the late stock-law del
egation mat at least tnree-fourths of the
tax payers of this county favor stock law
13 untrue. : -
Retolved 11. That the provision' of the
substitute passed by the Senate to re
move the cause ol the anti-stock citizens
of certain portions of this county again to
tne Jioard ot county tommissioners, we
denounce as a solemn mockery, and a
positive insult.
Mr. Richmond Pearson responded to
calls. 'lie wa3 glad to see such a large
turnout, the best men of both ' parties.
This assemblage gave - a . denial to the
statement that a majority ef the " people
of the countv favored the stock law as it
existed. - The State Senate had' been led
to believe that the substantia! element
bf the-eounty -favored ' the'stock-law,
from the statements made by the delega
tion which recently visited Raleigh, and
by others who spoke without1 authority
He discussed the meaning of the substi
tute as adopted by the Senate it meant
nothing, and no one Could understand it.
But the spirit of liberty was : not dead--the
people of Buncombo will vote for the
stock law if it. is presented to them
correctly, but they do hot mean ' it shall
be forced on them. The question at issue
now as to the Senate was : whether the
Senator from Buncombe or clerk Furman
should be endorsed; and he wished this
meeting' to say they did not endorse the
conduct of Mr. Furman ia his action in
influencing the Senate against his meas
The delegation recently in Raleigh be
fore the Senate, fjrom Buncombe county,
had no representative from Fair View or
Sandy Mush. ' At this point he discussed
Bart Fortune as a member of the delega
tion. - The speaker said he cjuld not tell
how much rascality was going on in the
Senate Mr. Furaian or smiling Robert,
as he termed him) seemed to work the
Senate committee on Propositions and
Grievances like they were limber-jacks,
and he wuhed this convention to say
whether they endorsed Mr. Furman" or
not He was glad to have this oppor
tnnity to say that he used no whiskey in
the campaign here last fall, as had been
charged against him. He believed the
Buncombe stock law had been the cause
of more lying than could' ba charged to
the county for a hundred years previous.
The speaker said a measure of hia to
prevent stock from stock law!
sections
ranging in other sectionabad been locked
ujby Mr. Furman.
The Inferior Court of Buncombe, so far
as the House could do it, should be wiped
out.'and a court instituted, elected by the
people, who would have grand juries that
were not afraid to indict county commis
sioners for any offense. . He dared Fu
man and the State Senate to defeat the
wishes of the people. . He censured the
President of the Senate for calling Sen
ator Pon (of the committee on Proposi
tions and Grievances) to the chair pend
ing the consideration of the question of
his repeal of the Buncombe stock law.
He did not want to make President Sted
man mad, but he did not think it was
right for him to leave his chair and cir
culate on the floor for or against, any
measure, and he ought to have given the
people, of Buncombe a white man's
chance. . . - - .. .-"..-'v..---- '
He censured heavily the editors of
the Asheyille Citizen, referring direct
ly to Messrs: Fcrmau and Cameron, and I
tid.iwamut purpose wnea ne went to
Raleigh to defeat them if he could for
the position 'of chief clerk of the two
houses, lie only found it in his power
to defeat Col. Cameron in the House, (he
had the highest regard personally for
Col. Cameron,) and he only wished it
had been in his power to defeat . Mr.
Furman instead of Col. Cameron, but he
found Mr F. entrenched behind his Sen
atorial friends, and he conld not reach
him.
He had not gone back, as claimed, by
tneCiTiTBN, on his record concerning
the County Government question. He
had said he would not favor an entire re
peal of the Isystem, but that he .would
support a measure which would place
only responsible men in office. He here
discussed his bill on this subject, the
ring of Magistrates and Commissioners
as now existing in every county; he
wanted to abolish the joint board, and
have the Commissioners elected by the
people. He believed the House would
pass his bill, but its fate in the Senate
was doubtful, as that body did not want
this question to come before the people.
The time was too short now to do
anything on the stock law question, ex
cept to define the time for election and
the going into effect of the measure he
would suggest the election in June , and
the law to be made effective first of
January next
The Railroad Commission bill had
been killed by the railroad men it only
took one day to do this work, to change
a vote of 70 to 28 to that of a minority
for the measure; he' believed railroad in
fluence cocld accomplish anything.
:Mr. E. D. Carter responded to-ealls.
He could add nothing to what had been
said of the outrage perpetrated but he
proceeded to add a good deal.
Mr. T. J. Candler submitted the fol
lowing resolution which was adopted:
-Retolved, That we favor . the co unty
government bill which allows - the peo
ple to elect the county commissioners,
and if such an amendment be submitted
to the people of the State, we feel sure
that the people of. Buncombe county
will approve the amendment by at
least 2,000 majority.
On motion, the following gentle
men were appointed a committee
to go to Ealeigh aud represent the
county before the conference com
mittee and to lay the case before
the Legislature :

Senate. The House has' appointed five
members before lie left Raleigh the Sen
ate would appoint three and he "had been
assured by five member of that committee
that the v sympathized with his views on

Reports from the country indicate that
there is at this time more than tne usual
amount of 6ickncsd prevailing. Most of

causes fevers of a bilious character, and
we regret to say .-that in some places it
has proved very fatal. -We therefore

yet afflicted- Ke?p your", liver iu a
healthy condition, and your blood rich
and pure. .Goixl ' blood means good
health, whilst f-ad " blood bad health.
