GIFT CONCERTS.
On motion of Mr. Busbee, the Sen
ate considered the following House
bill : " ';
A Bill to he Entitled an Act in re-
lotion to Lotteries and Gift Con
certs: '
Whereas, there are various or
ganizations in different parts of the
State which dispose of property, both
real and personal, by gift and chance
upon tickets and certificates, for the
purpose of raising money and funds
for the aid and benefit of benevolent
and charitable institutions, and -
', Whereas,' it is doubtful whether
such organizations are liable to prose
eutiou and indictment under section
69, chapter 32, Battle's Rev isal, in the
same manner as lotteries 1 and other
games of chance.
Therefore, We, the General As
sembly of North Carolina, do enact :
Section 1. That any person or
person, or society, association, com
pany or organization of persons
whatsoever who engage in disposing
of any species of property whatso
ever, money, evidences of debt, or
in any manner distribute gifts or
prizes upon tickets or certificates sold
for that purpose, shall be deemed to
be held liable to indictment and
prosecution under the provisions of
section 69, chapter 32, Jbattle s Re
visa, entitled crimes and punish
ments, f
Provided, however. That any per
son or persons, societies, associations,
companies or organizations of per-
foii whatsoever, who have hereto
fore sold tickets, or in any manner
issued certificates of indebtedness for
value, to be cancelled by gift in any
manner whatsoever, the proceeds of
such sale of tickets or certificates- to
-be applied exclusively to benevolent
and charitable purposes, shall be al
lowed until the fmt day of January,
A. D., 1876,1 to close up their busi
ness, and such person or persons,
society, association, company or or
ganization shall not be liable under
the criminal laws of this State for
such sale of tickets and certificates as
have heretofore been made and for
VOL. XV.---N.O. 130.
such sales hereafter, as will enable
them to close up their. said business
by the said first day of January, A.
D., 1876. ' J
Provided, That sucb tax as may be
fixed in the revenue laws of this State
shall first have been paid. : I
" Sec. 11. This Act shall be in force
from and after its ratification. I i
Mr. Cantwell opposed the bill. He
could not Bee why parties, who by
their intelligence should i know the
law of the land, should be allowed to
escape the law.; The greater the rea
son they should be punished. ! i
Mr. Busbee warmly defended the
character of the gentlemen naged
in the charitable enterprises Ttnown
as the Greensboro, Wilson and Kin
ston Gift Concerts, which had been
and were being conducted fori. chari
table purposes! that should commend
themselves to every one. i The igno
rance of the law in this case should
excuse these honorable gentlemen for
their conduct in this connection.- I
Messrs. Morehead and French ;sup
ported the views expressed by Mr.
Busbee. i : 1 :
Bill then passed its several read
ings and became a law. 1 1 !
PUBLIC DEBT, i '!! I
This question came up at 12 o'clock
as the special order, j n i
Mr. Jernigan spoke at some length
in support of the proposition. of the
Joint Committee to adjust the debt.
The substitute not embodying the
construction bonds (or first mortgage
bonds on tho N. C. lv; R.,) the ques
tion of said bonds were considered at
some lengb, under a motion of Mr.
Linnev to pay dollar for dollar for
the same, f The motion did
not pre-
vail. '
Several amendments were Offered
and discussed, but as we propose pub
lishing the propositions of the bill
when it shall-be completed by the
Senate, we deem it unnecessary tq
give the amendments as offered. '

THE THORNE EXPULSION CASE.
Mr. Moring, from the Select Com
mittee to investigate the right of J.
Win, Thome, the member from War
ren, to a seat on this 'floor, submitted
his report of documentory evidence.
The first evidence against Mr.
Thome was in the shape of a pampK-
let, issued by 1 borne, defending in
fidelity and denouncing the christian
religion, characterized by Mr.jPatton
as the most infamods production he
ever heard. Aftei which was read
the evidence of several parties in
Warren county tcf j the effect that
they bad known him for many years
and never heard liirh deny the exis
tence of a God; that he was a mcrrf
ber of Progressive Friends and a di
rector in said Church. The evidence
of Thome himseifiijwas next read.!
He admitted that hp believed in a
supreme being, and the God! of the
Bible in part, but not all of it.
Mr. Moring theu! - stated that the
committee were unable to.agree, and
therefore submitted the report to the
House, asking to bej discharged 1 from;
further service ou the comaiittjee. j
Mt. Gudgvr moved that the report
of the committee be received.
v Mr. Patton desired to know if that
would reliever . Thorne from j the
charges against him; if so, he would
oppose it, as he thought the authorof
such an infamous circular as
the one
summa
read by the Clerk, Should be
rily expelled from this body, and if
no one else would, jhe would offer a
resolution to that effect. j t .: I
Mr. Gudger said he did not mean,
of course, to relieve him, but to bring
the matter before the House! I . j
t Hughes, colored J ioffered a resolu

WILMINGTON,
tion with a preamble, stating that as
Throne, had issued an infamous circu
lar, denying the existence of the Al
mighty i God, and otherwise blas
pheming the Christian religion that
he at once be expelled from the
House. : . i
i Mr. Norment moved that the mat
ter be postponed till Tuesday next,
and made the special order for that
day. ,
! Brewington,. colored, endorsed the
views of Hughes. s
i Mr.: Mclver, after denouncing in
fitting terms the character of the in
famous pamphlet, favored immediate
action. j i!
! Messrs. McRae, Finger, Staples and
Spears each favored postponement in
order to give the defendant a fair and
impartial trial. While they werepre
pared to vote for expulsion if he de
nied the God of the Bible or any part
of it, yet something might turn up in
his favor. ! i j s
i Messrs. Walker, of Richmond, and
Moring also offered resolutions of ex
pulsion,1 after which the whole mat
ter was postponed till Tuesday next.

j Our eotemporary, the Wilmington Morn
ing Star, of the 17th insL- gives the report
of a meeting held in that city iq favor of
the usury bill, during which one F. W.
Foster, Kadical, declared hiuself in favor
of the usury bill and stated that he had been
telegraphed to by Mr. I. F. Dorlch, of the
House of Representatives, to the effect
"that if a petition was not gotten -up at
once, praying for the passage of the bill, it
would be defeated." This statement is cal
culated to place Mr. Dortch in - a question
able position and seems to have created .sur
prise in those of his fiiends who read the
report in the Star. The usury question is
generally considered no party measure, and
the fact is Mr. Dortch did not know Fos
ter's politics when he answered a dispatch
addressed to him by Foster, asking whether
petitions in favor of usury would be in time.

Hudson Citt, N. J., Sept 80th, 1874. Mesbrs. J.
& W. Toixet 29 Maiden Lane, New York: The
10-goage Gun No. 3078 1 ordered from you gives me
entire satisfaction. I was very exacting when or
dering the Gun, bat must say that you have more
than fulfilled what I required of you. J. have shot
several bret-ch-loaders by first-class makers, and
your gum beats them all for beaity and workman
ship. As for shooting qualities, yonr gun shoots
stronger and more even than any gun I ever shot I
have shown it to several good judges (including
flrst-cla8s gunmakere) and all agree that the action
is very strong and durable, and that the gun Is one
of the best they ever saw. I have made Borne very
long shots with it, using only Z drs. ef powder,
which is all your gun requires. I have shot it at a
targat according to the rules of the Turf, Field and
Farm trials, and the average of 6 shots at 40
yards is: Left-pattern, 169; penetration, 38:
right-pattern, 175; penetration 39;- using 3jf
drs. powder. Now I am sure such a gun
Is seldom met with, and am, very proud to be
the ewner of it But the real test of your gun
is in the field there it excells all others, killing
cleaner and handsomer than any gun I ever saw, as
you assured me they would. Both paper and metal
shells work splendidly. Gentlemen, I have to offer
you my very best thanks, and will recommend your
guns to all my friends.
Yours Respectfully,
