Immediately after the reading of the journal,' Isaac Smith, (colored) of Craven, rose to a point of personal privilege in regard to the action of the Republican caucus in expelling him Saturday night. He claimed .that the action of the caucus' was an un just and unwarranted attack on him, 'They say I am read out of the party, These same fellows said during the late campaign that the Democrats would disfranchise the negro.l and yet before the Democrats haven even a chance to disfranchise any one, these fellov?s 'go but and disfranchise the onlv member of the race who has acted in its true interest. They have disfranchised me because I had the courage to do what "was right. I came here.saying I was in favor of good government. ; How else can you prove you are for good government unless you votef for it; in other words, by doing as I did?" . Petree, (Republican) of Stokes, rose to a question of personal privilege and said he introduced the resolution re garding Smith in caucus, but denied that it Was an attack on good govern ment- He declared he favored white supremacy.
