Southern Baptist Convention. That the' Southern Baptist Conven tion whict meets here in early May will go away feeling that it has never been so royally entertained cannot for a moment be doubted. Such a consummation the reputation of the city for hospitality, established long since, de mands. But the Baptists, upon whom of course, tbe burden largely rest?, are hone tbe less conscious of the magni tude of the undertaking confronting them. Pastor W. B.

Both houses ent into the election of United States Senator, though separately, at noon. An hour was consumed in nominating' speeches. ! Lusk, of Buncombe, put Pntehard in nomination. He said, "I never have regretted voting lor Marion Butler and hope I never will. Fusion of Republicans and Populists means some thing, and must never be broken." Scbnlken, of Columbus, nominated Cv. Thompson, and called on the Demo crats to keep their pledges they naa made to vote for any friend of silver named by the Populists. He called on the Populist voters to do their duty. Dixon of Cleveland nominated Rufus O. Doughton, on behalf of the Demo cratic members in a splendid speech. He declared the Democrats had made all the advances they possibly could to bring about a union of the silver forces. They had reached out their hands, but nothing had touched them. He de clared that while tne microbes were be ing fought here, it would have been bet ter to fight tbem in lobbies and hotel Corridors. Cathey of Swain, Democrat, seconded the nomination of Thompson. Cathey is one of the few Democrats who re fused to stand by Doughton's nomina tion. After the lengthy nominating speeches for Senator there were loud calls of vote at 1 80 p.m. Pntehard received (in the House) sixty-two votes. Thompson twenty-four and Doughton twenty-six. Besides the Speaker, six failed to vote. They were Cox, Dockery, Jones of Alle ghany, Purgason, Rsynolds and Win stead. The three latter are Populists. Nearly all are anti-Pritchard men. The other members voted just as had been expected. B rower voted for Pritchard. All bolting Populists who pledged them selves stood by. Pritchard. f Nominating spseches in the Senate consumed a good deal of time. Pritch ard got twenty-four votes in the Senate, Thompson eighteen and Doughton seven. Earnhardt, a Populist, was the only Senator who failed to vote. There were no surprising votes cast in the Senate. Several legislators explained tueir votes. Dockery asked to be ex cused on the same conditions that he esked ia the Republican caucus. Pritchard received a total of eighty- six votes, which is ten more than was cast for tbe opposition. There was no election, the Senate failing to give him a majority. Pritchard's vote was a ma jority of all the votes cast, and no possi ble combination can defeat him on joint ballot to morrow. His majority is ex ceedingly close. . Congressman Pearson said, "not a man deceived ns, every one voted as we expected." Butler's friends still claim Pritchard's defeat. They say some of his supporters will desert him to-morrow. Butler is hopelessly defeated. Several of his sup porters to-night went to Pritchard and promised him their support. Dr. D. Reid Parker, who voted for Thompson to-day, has written Pritchard a letter pledging htm his vote. Parker said in a letter that by his vote to-day he conceived that he hid done his duty and was free to vote now as his con stituents desired, which is for Pritchard. ; Van Carter, of Nash, who voted for Thompson to day. will vote for Pritchard to-morrow. Pritchard states that two other Populists who voted for Thomp son will support him to morrow. Jones of Alleghany will do so if necessary. Senator Pritchard says his majority will be ten at least. During the evening he received congratulatory telegrams fr.om Major McKinley's private secre tary, Senators Thurston, Proctor, Mc Bride, Clark, Hawley, Frye, Perkins and many others, including a number of Representatives. Pritchard's friends say Cox and Dockery will support him to-morrow.

Special Star Correspondence Raleigh. N. C, Jan. 19. The inauguration of Prof. Edwin A Alderman as President ol tbe Univer sity of North Carolina will, occur Wednesday, January 27th. It will be a great occasion in the history of the life ot the University. The members of the General Assem bly will be invited to be present and will probably accspt the invitation. Gov. Russell and the State officers will be present. Many people from a distance will also attend. Two years ago when the General As sembly was confronted by a Democratic Governor all possible haste was made to deprive the Governor of his appointive power and also to take the various State institutions as completely from his con trol as possible. In its baste to snub the Governor, the Legislature passed several bunglesome acts which were non effec tive; notably was this true of tbe bill tak ing the Penitentiary from the 'control of the Governor. The act of the General Assembly of '95 transferring the power of management of the Penitentiary from the Governor to the Ligislature is fltill on the books. Bat it will be repealed within a few days. The Republicans in tend to give Governor Russell all tbe power and privileges enpyed bv pre vious Chief Executives and to this end the act will be wiped from the books. Mr. J. C. L. Harris was authorized to draw a Dill providing for a change in tbe management of the Penitentiary, giving the Governor the power to make the change. Mr. Harris' bill will provide for the repeal of the act of 1895 and only one or two changes will be made in the act ot 1893. This gives the Governor the right to appoiut a superintendent and name the directors, who- mast be confirmed bv the Senate. It isbelieved that Gov. Russell will appoint J. R. Smith, of Goldsooro, superintendent of the Penitentiary. The same policy will be pursued with relation to the other institutions, where the Legislature has the appointment of directors. Mr. Harris is also drawing a bill pro viding that the directors of the Agricul tural Department shall be named by tbe Governor and confirmde by the Senate; tbe election of all officers in the depart ment to devolve upon the directors.' legislative proceedings. In the House bills were introduced as follows: To regulate registration of grants of lands by the State. By Hancock, to renew and keep in force the charter of the Wilmington, Newbern and Charleston Railway. By Meares,, to put . M.Johnson, of Bladen, on the pension list; to regulate process of criminal actions; to protect game and song birds in the State; to protect political meetings from wilful in terruption and disturbance; to ex empt funeral directors from jury duty; to repeal any appropriation by the State to the North Carolina Firemen's Relief Association. By Murphy, for tbe protection of hotels and boardiag housekeepers; to al low Robeson county to levy a special tax There was a lengthy discussion as to putting special psrsons on the pension list. Sutton opposed providing for one man and said a general bill should be enacted. In the Senate, Person's (colored) bill to prevent lynching was taken up. Unanimous report was made against the bill by the committee, but Person made a lengthy harangue, favoring it. Mo Carthy moved to table, and Person ex citedly demanded the support of all "true" Republicans. He said he was surprised that the Republicans should allow Democrats to put them in a hole. The bill was tabled. It made counties liable where lynching occurred. LBy Southern Aaiociated Preia.1 Raleigh, N. C, January 19.
