Tbe significance to be attached to preoedenta haa another lllnt tration. Tbe General Assembly had before it recently tbe alterna tive of reimbursing Treasurer Lacy in the matter of a just claim or setting dangerous precedent. The body finally victimized Mr. Lacy rather than incur the perils of the precedent. The report of the body for precedent! was exceptionally pronounced wheu it ia remembered that Ex-Governor Aycock and oth ers of their own accord cham pioned the bill and that Ben Lacy it one of the most popular men in the Stat". Everybody appears to have confidence in bim and real y love him. More personal megut tism is rarely sean than he pos sesses. We are not disposed to criticiBe the law makers. Too muoh regard cannot be had tor precedents. It is a hardship that Lacy should .lose, out of hia sal ary, which is none too large, the money the clerk stole. This view of the matter is intensified by the fact tbat Lacy discovered and ex posed tbe rascality tbat had been going on in the office and saved the State much money as we un derstand the history of the matter. - We were at the capitol and in the legislative halls, last week. It is a tiae lookiug body of law makers we have up there. And we are persuaded that we have not had a more sensible General Assembly since tbe war between the Stated. There may have been instances wherein more brilliant men fig ured and daszled with the splen dors of their eloquence, but never more sobriety tior all in all a higher standard f level .headed uess. Tfie aameold story njust be told that there is one, class ofjser 8ou9 in legislative assemblies that rarely;' pay4' ' 'fay attention to speeches and that class is, the law makers themselves." This is' the rule.-'It is the exception wheu the members df, either branch of the legislature are Induced to listen with interest aqd patience to auy speech. It appears that during the delivery of speeches is the time selected to draw bills, con sult' authorities, or read newspa pers. -No one can be present loi:g in such a body without observing tvn universal disposition to com mit legislation entirely to c n: rxuttyos.
