TOPICS DISCUSSED IN
THE LEGISLATIVE LOBBIES.
Special to the. Gazette. -
Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 30lr-The constitu
tional amendment will be en do reed by
the caucus practically unanimously,
but this does not mean- that there is no
objection td it. Three membera from
the wesit 'Chat is from, Greensboro west
and three from jthe far east hava de
cided objections to it. Two eafetern men
promised their oconstituenta that they
would not vote, for any measure which
necessarily disfranchised anyone. T&ey
will vote, they say, for an election law
which will give the democratic party
every possible advantage, 'because such
a law Would not on its face disfranchise
"anyone: ? -' . . v

Sometimes repealing bills do not spec
ify whether the law repealed is a pub-
lie or private act of the number named.
-.
In abstracting the bills introduced re
cently I found one which repealed a
cerbaih act of 1S93, and naturally look
ing in the public acts of 1893 found that
it '"was an act introduced by the late
Melvin Carter to validate, or attempt
to validate, as the old board of county
commissioners claimed, phe Buncombe
bonds. UOf course all manner of ' "sus
pictons arose and I htaeteried to the in
troducer to find what he meant to re
peal -aa- unimportant . ' private law.
There came to the engrossing clerk's
office last week a bill drawn up bygone
of the onost careful and able lawyer of
