' " 1 c The wonderful summersault of the State Senate on the Durham connty bill is creating much and deserved oritioism. It is one of the most re markable performances known in our legislative annals. It was postponed Indefinitely by a wote"iof ,25jto 13. But, like the "little Joker," now you see it .and now you don't see i it, it flopped over and created the county by a vote ot 25 to 13. Such a change is positively staggering. A tremen dous electric light of intelligence must have flashed upon . the inmost. souls of that : 25. : The Reidsville ZXmes, whose editor is an officer in tfie Legislature, Bays : c' i "We trust for the credit of anew order of legislation for which the people are pray ing and groaning to be blessed, that there was no trading or logrolling in producing su many different results in such a short space. of time, and that tLe new county really went through because of 'its real merits which the Hecate seems so amazing-' ly slow to have, recognized. ? t Aa admpliment : and award to ihoenterprise nd 'great business, success of Black well and Carr we are pleased that they have the county. But in principle we are- opposed , to new counties ajod regard the precedent as useless and entirely grstuitons on the pari of the Legislature."
