N. TlIK CoXCBKT AND EXHIBITION AT the Dkaf and Dumb and the Blind Institute. It was our pleasure to at tend the concert and exhibition given by the pupils of the Deaf and Dumb and tne lilmd Institute on Tuesday evening. 'i he exercises consisted of a public examination of the pupils of the Deaf ami Dumb, a few of the Junior classes in the Rlind Department, and vocal and instrumental music by the blind pupils. The members ot the Legislature at tended almost in a lxidy, with the usually large delegation of our citizens. The oflicers and teachers of the Insti tution were all on hand, and with a characteristic cordiality, received the many visitors and provided tfcw sual comfort of good seats, ore. The examination ot the Deaf and Dumb, with the remarks of the teachers, Messrs. Tomlinson and Dudley, as to the manner of teaching, was peculiarly interesting and entertaining. In the Blind Department, Mr. W. J. Young and his accomplished lady are the principal teachers, supported by Miss Dupre and Mr. John Simpson, both blind and graduates of the Institution. The vocal and instrumental music was very good, and, it any difference, better than is usually heard at school exhibitions. Before the close of the exercises, Col. J.' T. Morehead, the President of the Senate, arose and on the part cf many of his friends around him, returned the thanks of Mie audience to the officers and pupils of the Institution for the delightful entertainment given, and asked that one of the officers would come around with the hat that they might show their appreciation in a moic substantial form the funds received to be devoted to a Christmas fund for the poor unfortunates connect ed with the Institution. Mr. Tomlinson returned the thanks of the pupils for the generous offer, and appointed Messrs. Leach and Young to hand around the hat. We are pleased to say that quite a handsome sum was raised, sufficient for the purpose. : Adjournment To Day. The Legis lature adjourns this ruorning'until the 15th day of January next, after a ses sion of thirty-one days. We wish each aud all of the members h safe return to their homes and a pleasant Christinas. To those who have wives and pratling little ones, we can wish them no great er pleasure than we know their greeting will give them, but to the large num ber of young men in both houses who are not so fortunate as to have these .blessing's of life, we most hcartity wish they may make good use of their holi days andjat last obtain "promises" from some fair damsels. The Legislature thus far have done much work. An innumerable number of small bills, of much importance to the different sections of the State, have been acted upon, while the various com mittees have been actively at work upon the important measures which are to be considered immediately upon the re-asscmbllng in January. We have no doubt but this Legislature willl carefully consider and judiciously act upon the grave measures which the people feel a deep anxiety in. Personal.

HOLT. li 13-2aa C THURSDAY MORNING. DEC. 10. 1872. THE NOUTII CAROLINA LEGIS LATURE. T WEN TY-SEVENTH DAY. . SENATE. Wednesday, Dec. IS, 1872. Senate met in Chamber at 11 o'clock a. mM President Moreheadin the Chair. Prayer by Rev. Dr. Mason. The" Journal of yesterday read and approved. Reports from Standing Committees were presented by Messrs. Allen, Nor wood, Todd and Davis. '-:-.,..'; A message war; received from the House transmittir a numl&r of en grossed resolutions and bills, asking the concurrence of the Senate, which were appropriately disposed of. Introduction of Resolutions. Mr. Cunningham, a resolution ot in struction to the committee on Educa tion. Tabled. Mr. Seymour, a resolution of instruc tion to the Public Printer, relating to the printing of the laws as compiled by Judge Battle, as to whether the same should be printed for correction before they may be adopted by the General Assembly. Questions discussed at some length, and on motion ot Mr. Love it was postponed until the lGth of January. The special order, House bill con cerning the firing into trains was made the special order for the 22d January at 12 o'clock. Mr. Cowles, a resolution instructing the Senate branch of the Printing Com mittee to report what contract they had made, with a view of its ratification or rejection. Mr. Waring said the Committee was ready-to report this morning as to the contract made, but could not see that, under the act by which the contract was made, the Senate had any right to reconsider the action of the Committee. The committee submitted ior inspec tion the contract which they had made with Messrs. Stone & Uzzefl, accompa nied with a report. Mr. Ellis, of Catawba, moved to accept the report. Mr. Alien thought there was no way of annuling the contract, except by the repeal of the act creating the Commit tee. It was exceedingly questionable whether the Assembly could now exer cise any control in the matter. This was the view taken last year, and this was the opinion held by a number of lawrycrs in the Senate. " Mr. Mcrrimon had the contract read, and upon finding that it was dated on the 10th inst., aud the act empowering the Committee being rati iied .oa the 17th, he argued that the contract was of no effect, and hejoffered as an amend ment that the committee on printing be instructed to make no contract for the public printing until further instructed by the General Assembly. Harris, colored, objected to the amendment as being -only technical. The contract was undoubtedly in good faith, and be wanted to see the report accepted. ' Mr. Waring argued that the powers of the Committee were absolute. They exercised their powers, and the ejection did not reach the substance of the matter. The contract had not been delivered. Mr. Mcrrimon argued that the objec tion was not merely technical. The Committee had acted with too much haste. They had acted before powers had been delegated to them. The act was not retrospective no valid contract had yet been made. He could not see, however, why the Committee should object to having their action considered by the Assembly. It might be that Senators desired to make the printing less than appeared in the contract. He believed that the Assembly could pass a supplemental act reducing the pay. Mr. Stilley thought the Senate had no power to reconsider or reject the action of this committee. He moved to strike out the last clause of Mr. Cowles reso lution. - Mr. Ellis, of Catawba, favored the motion to ssrike out. Mr. Love opposed the motion. He thought the committee at the time they made the contract, had no power, and hence their action had no validity. Mr. Worth thought the discussion arose ,rom the fact that the committee had disappointed the expectations of a large number of the members of the two Houses. He thought the printing should have been given to Mr. Josiah Turner. lie had no objection to the parties with whom the committee had contracted, but hethought Mr. Turner deserved it at the hands of the party. Mr. Waring, on behalf of the commit tee, explained the vote as cast in the committee room upon the question of Public Printct- upon the first vote four votes were cast for the News, two lor the Sentinel, one for the Era, and one for a Mr. Hill, after which, all eight votes were cast for the News, and that the contract had been signed by the whoie eiht committeemen. , Mr. Mcrrimon again-. argued that the committee had transgressed its powers. Mr. Dunham said that the Senate had no control over the action of the 'com mittee Tliere Was no power in the Legislature to revoke its action. Any attempt to modily or annul the con tract would be in opposition to all law. Harris, col., again urged that the Senate take no steps looking to inter fering with the action ot the committee. He could see no justice in such action, Mr.IIumphrey said he clearly thought the Senate could exercise no control over the action of the 'Committee t'ntir powers had been positive. " Mr. Murphy said that in voting for the pay of the Public Printer he hud no object to serve save the paying of a Jail price to those who worked for the State, lie should oppose interfering with fhe contract. , i Mr. Cowlcs said that in offering his resolution his object was not to indem nify Mr. Turner tor losses lie had siis taineoLXlIe only wanted to bring the matter .blore the Senate. v j MrJ Mcrrimon said his object was to bring the Whlc matter before the Sen ' ft EWS ate, in order that the question of re ducing the price of printing might be again considered. Mr. Ellis, of Columbus, said he had voted to place this matter in the hands of the Committecj and he should op pose any interference with 4hi3 action. 3Ir. Cunningham said there was no need of continuing the discussion, and he hoped that much that had been said was said without having becri consider ed. He called for the previous question. Nr. Stilley 's motion to strike out so much of Mr. Cowles' resolution as de sired to bring the report of the Com mittee before the Senate for ratification was adopted by a vote of 33 to 8. Mr. Merrimon's resolution to instruct the Committee to make no contract un til otherwise ordered was voted down by a vote by 27 to 13. Mr. Cowles' resolutions instructing the Committee to report its action was adopted. - Mr. Love introduced a bill making the price of printing GO cents for plain work, and .1.20 for rule and figure work. Referred. Mr. McCabe introduced a resolution incorporating the Edgecombe Female Seminary. .

Almanac," that the Almanac adver tised for sale by L. Branson, of this city, is not "Turner's JS. G. Almanac," and that tlie said Branson has no interest in and does not sell "Turner's N. C. Almanac." 1 make this statement for the following reasons : First. Turner's N. C. Almanac has been popularly known lor over thirty years, as "The North Carolina Almanac-" It is usu ally soorderee" by dealers. The Almanac for sale by L. Branson is the "North Caroli na Agricultural. Almanac." This is tlie name it bears on its title paj;e, the word "Agricultural" being 'in very faint type, in his advertisement he stylos it "ihe .North Carolina Almanac," omitting tlie word "Agricultural," and also the fact, that he is tlie Publisher of the "North Carolina Agricultural Almanac.-'' The .suppression of these facts in.his advertisement is calcu lated to deceive, and lias deceived to a great extent. secondly. Turner's N. C. Almanac, ever sluce its rirst publication, over thirty years ago, has represented upon Us title page an imprint or lin engraving of our StVrte Cap itol. This has been, and is, a elistinctive and characteristic lea t n re o 1 1 h e t i ti e page ol Ule Almanac by whieb it, has always been known aud recognised. The 4 North (.Virol i na Agricultural Almanac"' lias heretofore represented a Farm SScene upon its title page, which was in character with tlie Al manac. Now mark ! The Rev. Levi Bran son buys the Bookstore interest of J. A. JoniesEsq., and becomes the Proprietor and Publisher of tlie "North Carolina Ag ricultural Almanac." iie publishesan edi tion of a few thousand of the North Caroli na Agricultural Almanac for JST'I, and in stead of using the agricultural cut which had heretofore graceU the title page of the Agricultural Almanac, he substitutes the. same line engraving, line for line, shade for shade, size ior size of our State Capitol which has for so many years been a char acteristic feature of the title page of Tur ner's N. C. Almanac. Other changes in the outward and inward appearance of his Ag ricultural Almanac he has made so as to make it resemble "Turner's N. C.
