Mr. Tourireo ar?neil brifilv ini fvor
of his amendment. i
Mr. Clingman obiected. uoon the
ground that the fact, of leaving the
question to legislation herealter would
seemingly delude the people into the
oeiiei mat something bad been done,
w-nen sucn was not the case. . ?
Mr. Toursree's amendment was lost
by a .vote.of23 aves to 76 nays, sev

Mr. Wilcox, from the committee
on the per'diera of the members of
the Convention, reported a bill pro!
viding that the presiding officer shall

Ou motion the whole matter was
recommitted to the committee.
THE SUPBEME COURT.
Ordinance to make the Supreme
Court consist of Chief Justice and
two Associates. , ..
Mr. Tourgee, Rep., opposed the
measure. . lue amount ot work now
before the Supreme Court required
the services of more than three Su
preme Court Judges.
Mr. i Manning, dem.: of Chatham,
supported the report of the Commit
tee. lhe empire btates of Georgia
and Mississippi, and some 17 states
of the Union bad only three Judges
upoa meir oupreiue ouri uencues,
and he could not see the necessity of
North Carolina having 5 Judges.
When the Supreme Court of North
Carolina was composed of only three
Judges their decisions were quoted
as extensively and respected as highly
as has been the case since it was in
creased to five.
Mr. Bennett, Dem., said the new
feature of five members of the Su
preme Court only passed the Con-
vention ot loots witn an us nigner
law actions) by one majority. He
argued at some length, bringing au
thority to support him, that a large
number of Judges would always
prove of disadvantage, and served
only to retard business rather than
advance it.
Mr. Chamberlain, Rep., opposed
the measure. He did not believe
there was any detoanQ from the peo
ple for this reduction. He thought
there was something behind it! He
could see the final abolition of the
homestead in the distance 1 1
Mr. Barringer was not prepared to
discuss' this question, not knowing
that it would come up. He held the
old system of County Courts as a
nuisance; did not think under the
present system, however,; it paid ei
ther, the lawyer or client" to go to
law. Until the question of inter
mediate Court or some other relief
was given by this Convention he was
not prepared to sustain the measure
to restrict the Supreme Court to three
members. ' '
; Mr. Turner hoped that it - would
-add much to the purity; of the -Su
preme Court to dimmish its number.
Mr. Barringer replied briefly,
i Mr.-Young said the friends of this
measure roust bring - forward some
better reason for its adoption before
he could vote for it. r !;:
Mr. Manning, of Chatham, thought
the war.was over; "let us have peace!"
He would say there was nothing be
hind the committee in its report upon
this question. :-
Mr. Tourgee hoped that the class
to which he belonged (the carpet bag
Trs nrnnld not be referred to on
this floor in an opprobrious manner.
He thought the consideration of this
question was premature.
Mr. Cooper, did not approve of the
course the discussion ead taken, lie
came here to legislate!on the good of
the people, and not to hear a discus
sion of personal matters and per
uiiftl o-riftvances. or a Tehearsal of
the part that may have been played
by different parties in ihe scenes of
the past. ' "' -; -; ' ' '

BOUIO OF ALDEIIBIBN.
Synopsis of lhe Proceeding?
The regular meeting of the" Board ;6f Al
dermen was held last evening; ' present:
His Honnr the Mayor and Alder,men Gard
ner, Cassidey, Neff, Bates, Rice, Holmes,
Hankihs and Btinks.' ,C-t C:yA'. ;
The Mayor stated that as sometime had
elapsed since a meeting of the Board bad
been held, he would give a statement of the
operations of the , city government. --"The
Clerk and Treasurer had been engaged in
collecting the taxes due the city, as fast as
possible; but thai his efforts .bad not been
responded to by the tax-payers as promptly
as was desired, in consequence of the great
scarcity of money. He also submitted the
following recommendation to the Board: -
OwiDe to the great depression in busi
ness and the maouer in which the tax-payers
were piessed for money to pay their
necessary expenses, the Uoardor Aldermen,
in January last, while levying the taxes for
the current year, reducea tue taxes on me
merchants of our citv $20,000. -The Board
of Assessors reduced the assessment on real
estate in the city $40,000, making a reduc
tion in taxes of $8,000! and the tax tn mer
chants' sales, known as the license tax, has
fallen off ove.r $5,000, making a total reduc
tion from the amount received last year,
and less than the amount ' collected in
either of the past four years, of $33,000.
The fact of such a large reduction in the
revenue of the city is to be very much de
plored." Owine to the hard times it became
the duty of the city government to foster
business and relieve the haru-worKeu mer
chants as much as it was io their power to
do. This, I am glad to say, the lioatd
cheerfully did. Now it becomes our further
duty to redace the expenditures of the city
correspondingly, or as near as possible;
and 1 know that the Board ot Aldermen,
being, as you are, well aware of the urgeut
nccessnv ot mating all proper reuueuons
in the c.ij x -M-Dse!", wilt cheerfully suppoit
such measiiii! us will result, it is to he
hoped, satisfactory. " Therefore I respect
fully recommend that the salaries of the
officials and employes of the city be re
duced as follows: --' .-

of Assessors has been discontinued, making
a further reduction of $500. There should
also be but two Sergeants of the pol ce
force, making a further reduction ot fusu-
I shall also, if the Board will sustain me,
retrench in other departments of the city
government at least $1,500 that is to say,
in the ordinary current expenses making
an entire reduction of $2,7d vo. n v
-The above recommendations, if adopted
by the. Board, will place our city in an ex

Tbe Cow Question. -
One of our suffering fellow citizens a
victim to a certain extant of the cow ordi
nance now in force is loud in his protesta
tions thai the innocent should riot be made
to suffer with the guilty in this matter, jln

being disturbed by cows turned loose in the

He informs us of one gentleman who was
'almost entirely deprived otlus-iresl. Thurs
day niglit in this manner, having to leave
