Railroad Commissioners' Case; -,- y ----- Senator Justice made a motion that the joint session continue, in order that the report of the committee in-the case of the removal of the Wilsons, asv railway commissioners, might be heard. Senator Osborne presented the report. The report sets forth that the committee had called on the Governor for his evidence and reasons, and that in response he had furnished names of certain witnesses; that as a matter of law the committee did not sit in re view of the Governor, but as to whether either, of the commissioners was dis qualified; that the committee recog nized that the Governor had no right to summon any witnesses and de pended upon hearsay, while ihe com mittee took evidence in open session. Theonly ground for the removal was in messages of the Governor, which were filed as part of the report of the committee. All this was read, the re port being voluminous. The committee finds that the giving of mortgages to Col. Andrews by Major Wilson is not such as to -make disqualification, as Col. Andrews is amply protected by mortgage and by collateral, and that it ; is not , in violation of the railway commission act, and is not of a character to put Maj Wilson in CoL Andrews' power in any way. As to Round Knob Hotel, the mere owning of it by Maj. Wilson is not of a character to violate the com mission act. Letters written in 1886 showed that he declined to enter into an arrangement to make the hotel an eating house, and he did not use influence to have the hotel opened as an eating ; house. He sold all his interest in the hotel to R. W. Brown, to whom it was mort gaged for full -value. ' The committee finds that Major Wilson's family did not ride on free passes; that he used passes to save the State expense, and did not therefore take an. allowance for railway travel. It is further iound, that he "bad nq expressor telegraph franks. It was also found that he was blameless as to asking special rates on mixed freight for Otho Wilson from Raleigh to Round Knob, other such rates having been granted, and acquits Major Wilson of any improper intent The committee thus finding in favor of Major Wilson,, recommends tnat by vote he be reinstated and his past sal ary be paid. As to Otho Wilson, he was- simi larly exonerated, and the report finds him not responsible on his part; that the leasing of a -hotel beside the rail way was not such an interest as is prohibited by the Railway Commis sion Jact; that he be reinstated and be given back salary.' Senator Ward moved that 500 copies of the report be printed, and that the matter be made the special order at a joint session of the two nouses next Tuesday. After considerable debate the motion was adopted. House Proceedings. The House held two sessions to day one from 10 to 3 o'clock and one froni 4 to 6 o'clock. - At the opening of the morning ses sion tne Judiciary (jomtnmee maae report on the resolution introduced by White, of Davie, (Republican) charg ing that Judge Brown was intoxicat ed. The report said that 'the charge was found to be baseless; that . White desired to withdraw the resolution ; that leading Republicans said it was no party measure, and that White had been misled. . White of Davie said, as there was public rumor as to the matter he had offered the resolution, without pre judice or malice. He asked leave to withdraw, saying I that after full evidence it was shown that there was no foundation . for rumors. He further asked that the entire matter be ex punged from the record.

Deafness Cannot Be Cared. by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is onlv one wav to cure deaf ness, and that is- by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed vou have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, uearness is the. result, and unless the- inflamma tion can be taken out and this tube re stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The fea ture of to-day's influences on the .cot ton market was the small movement at the ports, with the indication of subsiding interior receints. New Orleans was estimated ; for to-morrow at 600 and 800 bales against 7,120 last year. ' Otber conditions were also generally favorable toi higher prices and the market opened steady at an advance of two to four points with energetic dealings by shorts as well as speculative buying which led to a further rise of three to four points. A disposition to secure profits caused several periods of reaction; but the undertone: was generally firm. The upward movement of i prices was stimulated by a further advance of one to two and a half points at Liverpool, but the moderate sales of spot cotton at Liverpool were disappointing. Now that the storm is over therfe is a good deal of "flood talk" in circulation here. Accounts- from American spinners, cotton cloth markets i and Southern spot markets continue to be of en couraging average. Our market closed firm at-a net rise of five to seven.
