Henderson Items. Our correspon
dent, Under date ot yesterday, sends the
following items of
interest Irom his
section : X
There were 75,000 pounds of tobacco
sold here during the week ending to
day (Saturday) at tbex warehouse' of
Wilkerson, Meadows & co. Prices
ranging $G, $20, $45, G5 and $100 per
hundred. "s-.
Our energetic townsman, D.Xj.
Cooper, has just completed his
spacious warcnouse liuhw ieet, ana
will,,we learn, open on Monday, the 20th
inst. Another mamouth warehouse
120x40 feet is being pushed forward
to completion rapidly, and will be
opened early in February.. This is be
ing built by a joint stock company and,
we learn, that Wilkers n, Meadows &
Co., will take charge ol it. We believe
that not long hence Henderson will be
one of the best tobacco markets in the
State owing to eligibility of location
and high prices given.
We believe "Gilliam" county over
shadows all other general topics. The
opos:tion having been disarmed by the
agreement of the citizens to erect the
public buildings without taxation, alter
first submitting to the qualified votars
whether they desire a county or not.

Legislative. The Senate yesterday
was occupied almost exclusively in the
consideration of the special orders ap-
pointed for the day, viz : The Midland
North Carolina Railroad bill and the
Amnesty and Pardon bill.
The sixth section of the Railroad bill
wasconsidered, and pending the discus
sion ot the proposed amendments, the
bill was ordered to be recommitted to
the Committee. When the bill is final
ly disposed of, we will give the substance
of the alterations asked for the bill as it
passes, if it does pass.
The Amnesty and Pardon bill is
violently opposed by, the Republicans,
who without seems anxious to make it
a party measure. Several able speeches
were made in advocacy of the bill by
Messrs. Allen, Flemming, Merrimon and
Murphy, also by Messrs. Respcss and
Harriss, colored, in opposition
The
further consideration or the bill was
postponed untill 13 o'clock Monday,
when it will undoubtedly pass and
become a law. .
In the House yesterday the discus
sion of the bill to amend the school
law of last year was resumed, and con
sumed the day. Our report of the
proceedings is meagre, from the fact
that space could not be devoted to it,
as it would require the publication of
the old law to .make a report of the
debates and the almost numberless
amendments intelligible. At the close
of the session, a rather amusing inci
dent occurred. Some moved that
"Prof." N. Mitchell, col., of Alabama,
(the man who made a Republican
stump speech while opening the House
with prayer a day or to since,) be al
lowed the use ol the hall, after the ad
journment ot the House, in order to
address somebody on something.
Dudley, col., indignantly objected.
Some member wanted to know who
"Prof." Mitchell was, when that sable
individual, who was standing at the
time, attempted, with stentorian lungs,
to give the member in search of knowl
edge the desired information. Mr.
Badger, who was in the chair at the
time, order the "Professor" to be eject
ed by the Doorkeeper, which order was
executed instanter.
The last thing heard of-this learned
and dusky Alabamian, was some mut
tered words about the "inalienable
rights ot man," as he was hustled from
the door.
Oxford Items. Our Oxford cor
respondent under date of yesterday
says :
Rev. T. II. Fritchard, D. D., has been
on a visit to our town for several days.
He is looking well and is as genial as
ever. J. A. Alius, nq., ijupeiiutenaent
of the Orphan Asylum, and Hon. J. J.
Hickman, the distinguished temperance
lecturer,arrivcd here on Wednesday,the
22nd instant.
On Tuesday evening, pursuant to ap
pointment, notwithstanding the un-
propitious character ot the weather,
Dr. , Pritchard delivered . his lecture on
the "Characteristics ol ' Iufideiitv." We
believe he terms his celebrated discourse
a "sermon popularized." It elicited the
highest erjcomiums from the select
audience that had the good fortune to
bear him. Dr. Pritchard is quite a
favorite with our people irrespective of
denominational predilections.
On Wednesday the Baptist Church
was filled to repletion with an intelln
gent concourse of citizens ot both sexes
to hear temperance addresses by Dr.
Pritchard and Hon. J. J. Hickman, the
distinguished temperance lecturer from
Kentucky
Dr. P. preceded the dis-
languished Kentuckian in an able and
felicitous address, and Air. II. sustain
ed the high reputation, as a popular
orator which has been awarded him in
other portions of our country where it
has been hi3 privilege to speak in be-
half of the cause which he has espous
ed with such earnestness and devotion.
At the conclusion of his speech many
ot the staunchest citizens enrolled their
names as members of the Good Tem
plars. A number of ladies also joined
the order.
He will speak again on the same sub

Poisoning Case Near Fremont,
Wayne County. We learn irom a
gentleman that arrived in the city yes
terday evening from the vicinity,
. f r .a 4 1
that the -village ot j remoni. on ine
Wilmington & Weldon Railroad is hav
ing a first class excitement "over an al
leged poisoning case. The facts nz stated
to us are as fallows :
Mrs. Clara Edm.ndn, an aged aid
ighly esteemed citizen, living near the
village was prevailed upon by her son-
in-law, one Patrick Caley,to take a glas3
of toddy which he kindly volunteered
to prepare for her. boon after taking
the toddy she complained of a dizziness
in her head. In a lew moments after
wards she was seized with convulsions
and- expired immediately, just ten min
utes alter swallowing the tatal draught.
In her death, agonies die returned to
consciousness" and slated that she had
been poisoned. -
Coroner Wilnam3 was notified of the
circumstances of her death and a jury
at once summoned, who are now hold
ing an inquest upon the body. The
stomach of the deceased was brought
to Goldsboro Friday night, and exam
ined by the medical men of that place
yesterday. Upon their dtcision hangs
the chances for ths safety of the young
man Caleyr as we learn; because it can
oe shown, why the death of the old
ady would inure to his pecuniary ben-
fit. . '
HoC"J J Hickman, of Kentucky,
will deliver a Temperance Lecture at
Metropolitan Hall, on Monday evening

zations mentioned were guilty and inti
mating that all of the Democratic party
belonged to either one or the other ot
the organizations.. He said admitting
this proposition to be true, then ajl the
Republican party must have belonged
to the Leagues, and asked who it was
that murdered Hunnicutj'and the Fos
ter family ? negroes who belonged to
the Leagues. It was useless for Repub
ican members to attempt to show that
no crime had been committed by the
Leasuers. or whatever they may be
termed, when his.tory speaks for itself.
Mr. Flemming, did not expect to say
anything on this bill when it wa3
brought up, but wished to express his
nr.ihhn.ilmn tnar th umpnrimoir
had been opposed by the senator irom
Craven, as it gave him a better oppar-
tuuity to reply to the opposition to the
bill. Mr. Flemming continued at some
length in-which 'he reviewed- the histo
ry of the organization named in the
bill, the natural causes that led to this
organizations and deprecating both the
the causes that occasioned and the ex -
istenct of the organizations, he though:
for the preservation of peace and har3
monv. crcneral amuesity should be
granted.
Mr. Moorehead, of "Guilford, thought
that if an amnesty was passed it should
be complete, aud therefore could not
support Mr. beymour s amendment.
Mr. Respcss took the floor in opposi
tion to the bill. He referred to the
euounous crimes coin in it ted by the Ku
Klux Klau, which wus, purely a politi
cal organization He dwelt particularly
upon the one result of their power,
which was to change the treneral As
sembly of 1871 to nearly two-thirds
Democratic, when in lob'J it was two-
thirds Republicans. For this and many
other reasons he was do posed to the
bill.
Mr. Merrimon followed .Mr. Rcspesi
lor the bill. He stated that he was
never in any way connected with any
secret political organization, and. did
not know that there were such organi
zations before the Holden trial.
Bet he knew there were such organiza
tion and had committed crime. If
general rumor, newspaper reports and
jury trials were to be believed the
Union League had also committed
crimes. They were all known to be
political . organizations and as these
crimes were necessarily for political ofr
fences, why this solid opposition to the
bill by the Republicans when they had
proclaimed here on this floor so often
for amnesty and pardon. Mr. Merrimon,
continued at some length in favor of
the bill.
Harriss, colored, again stated his ob
jections to the bill, vindicated the
Union League : refered to Horace
Greeley as one of its founders, etc., etc.
Mr. Murphy replied at some length
to several objections advanced by the
opposition, especially to the charge that
only the latter named organizations
were guilty, stating when and where the
leagues fired barns, &c. He also
referred. to the operations of the propos
ed law, upon many of the young men of
his county, &c., and asked its passage.
Pending further discussion, on motion
of Mr. Troy, the consideration of the
bill was postponed until 12 o'clock
Monday. "
Note The Reporter regrets that the
crowded state of the News column to
day, prevents a more extended report on
the speeches on the bill, '-.

House called to order at the usual
hour.
Journal of yesterday, read and ap
proved.
Mr. Badger rose to a question of
privilege in regard to statements in the I
Dally Sentinel, in reference to the bill to
exchange stocks of the State ior bonds
with which such stocks were obtained.
Mr. Badger denied the motives imputed
to him by that paper. He stated that
the assertion that the bill was intro
duced in the interest of any railroad
corporation, was incorrect.
Messrs. Bennett, Jones, of Caldwell,
Stanford, Waugb, Anderson, of Davie,
submitted' reports from various Stand
ing Committees.
Unfinished Business.
The 'bill ol the Committee on Edu
cation, proposing amendments to the
school law ot 18 2, being the unfinished
business of yesterday, its consideration
wa3 resumed.
The debate was resumed upon the
25th section proposed by the committee
tor sections 2o, 2o ami 27 of the old
bill. '
After some further debate and amend
ment, the proposed 25th section was
adopted in the following shape :
"Ir the tax levied m this act lor the
support of the public school shall be
insufficient to maintain one or more
schools in each township for the period
ot lour months, then the County Com
missioners of each county shall levy
annually a special tax to supply the
deficiency lor the support and main
tenance of said schools for the said
period of four months The said tax
shall be collected by the sheiiff in money,
and he shall be subiect to the same
liabilities for the collections, and ac
counting lor said tax as he is or may be
in regard to other county taxes. The
said ta: shail be levied on all property
credits and polh of the county, and in
the assessment of the amount upon
each, the Commissioners shall observe
the constitutional equation of taxation.
Provided, That the question of the
levy and collection ot said tax shall
have first been submitted to the vote of
the qualified voters of the county at an
election to be held at the different
election precincts of the county, under
rules and regulations to be fixed by the
Commissioners and conforming as near
as maybe to the rules and regulations
for conducting other electiops, except
that no new registration need be made,
but the registration books of the next
I meCcdinff- neral election ma
preceding general election may be
used, iho penalties for illegal and
fraudulent voting, shall be the same as
provided in general elections." .
Section 26th as proposed by the Com
mittee was adopted after considerable
debate and amendment. The recom
mendation of )the Committee that sec
tion 28th jof the old bill shall read so as
that the school year shall begin July
1st and end June 30th, instead of
January 1st, and end Dec. 31st, was
adopted. r
The consideration of the numerous
other amendments to the other parts of
the old bill, proposedjbyjthe Committee,
and innumerable amendments thereto,
were discussed to great length, when
the bill passed its second reading.
On motion of Mr. Rhodes, the rules
were suspended and the bill was again
taken up, ordered to be printed and
made special order for Tuesday next.
On motion the House adjourned.
The Reporter could not report the
numerous amendments to the school
bill and the debate thereon intelligibly,
without giving the provisions of the
old bill and that, would cover too much
space. The bill will be published in
lull when it is perfected. J .
