Six maattmm N 'qr m A SCESE OF FIERCE FURY Tuesday 'Witnessed another most ex traordinary exhibition of the tone and temper of the democratic majority in the lower house of the general assem bly of this state. The chief news paper organ of the democratic -party at Haleigh heads the account -of the af. fair, "House Unearths Republican iPflot." This "Plot," which it seems was "tinearthed" by 'one Zachary, member from Transylvania county, was "con cocted and formulated for base politi cal pairposes." and was "hell born." In the discussion that followed these gentle; and gentlemanly observations "the thunder of democratic denuncia tion of republican fraud and trickery crashed and reverberated until the raf ters rang with it, and the bright flashes of wit and reparte lightened the fierce fury of it all." (Wa quote the Raleigh News and Observer). And what was it all about? Wlhat was the diabolical plot? It was1 this listen, ye who crave a knowledge of what caused democratic thunder to crash and reverberate, and wits (democratic wits?) to flash here it is,' just as Zachary unearthed and exposed it (am-M the "fierce fury of it all:" A citizen of North Caroiina, home I Asheville, name Richmond Pearson, cir culated some petitions for amendment of theipresent election law in this state. (The petition were published in the Gazette some three months ago) . These petitions end others to the number of 106, signed iby many citizens, democrats and republicans, have been (presented to the legislotuTce. The hell born feature of the proceeding (according to demo cratic thunder) consisted in (Mr. Pear son having circulated some of these petitions. When this horrible -exposure was made, and flashes of wit had lightened the fierce fury of it all, and the walls were still reverberating with the crash es of democratic denuncetion, Juge O. V. F. Blythe confessed that he had- dared to circulate petitions for a change in the election law. 'If Richmond Pearson has Ibeen guilty of sending out any of these petitions, he has been guil ty of no morel than many anotheT mian," said Judge Blvthi1. "I have dlone the same thing myself, and I have no apologies to make for it." That tmust have been an awful moment for the reverfberations, the denunciations and the wit flashes amid the fierceness of their fery. It must have been a period of severest strain on the rafters. ;Mr. BenbO'W of Yadkin made matters still worse ;by acknowledging, "I in troduced some of those petitions, and I think I did it in good faith." "As I rernember," said Mr. Benbow, "the governor in his inaugural 'message rec omimended' some changes in the election law. He seemed to consider that tte present law was necessary in order to get rid of the negro, 'but now we have were rid' of that danger, there might be some modifications. Dr. Ourry, too, the other day, in timated that some thi n'g was i wrong . ' ' This is the first JTorth Carolina legis lature we ibelieve that has gone crazy . over the fact that it was petitioned to perform) an act of legislation. This legislature probably also has the dis tinction of being .the first in the history of thie -world that considered it a "heD born thing to circulate petitions for the amendment of an -objectionable law. T!he iSimmons election law abolishes the 'right -of mandamus. This legis aattire shown an inclination to :Jtolisi the right of peti tion. THE AT AGK ON SUPREME COURT, .

The jury in the )Hot Springs homicide case (State vs. J. W. Floyd, Guy Turrfer and Duke Lamb) came in at 10 o'clock this morn ing. They rendered a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree as to Guy Turner, not gu'iity as to Lamb and made a mistrial as to Floyd. This verdict seem to be about what was predicted by a majority of those who heard the evidence, and who were otherwise qualified to have an opinion on the subject. D. M. Luther, Esq., left for Ashe ville today, the last of the visiting at torneys to go. (Mr. Luther's argument to the jury in this celebrated and lengthy caste has been highly spoken of by many who heard it.
