All of the opposition to the measure came from a squad at republicans, some of whom are on the record as having voted last year in favor of offering the reward.

If he did not have but one arm. Car ter, the Assistant Doorkeeper, ejected from the House yesterday an objec tionable character that .'-happened to strav where he had no business. The man, though not drunk, looked as if he wanted a drink, and a cross-eyed man being in the chair, was not able to see the difference. Hence, the necessity of Carter's action. The latest begging dodge is that of a worthless scamp, with long black hair, dirty face, non-expressive countenauce and" cat-eyed, to pass himself off for a wild Camanche Indian, and asking alms of our citizens on the street yesterday. He could not speak a word' of English. However, he applied to the Mayor lor help, and was told by that functionary that he was no Indian, but an im poster, a swindler, a drunken loafer, there upon "he lorgot his assumed - native tongue and discoursed English with great rapidity. Fire. The dwelling and contents of Dr. II. J. Mcnmnger, on. JNewbern Ave-, nue,narrovly escaped destruction by fire vesterday morning, though no alarm was given outside of the immediate neighborhood. 'While a servant was engaged in cleaning up the chamber the bed cloth ing caught lire and the rooin .was soon enveloped in flames. Through the ex ertions -of Dr. Meuningcr and lady, with the aid ot all the servants on the lot, the fire was extinguished. All the furniture in the room, several fine dresses of Mrs 3ieuninger's,and other clothing, six pet canary birds and two mocking birds with their cages, were burned. But for the water tank in the room the house would have undoubtedly been buFned to the ground. Just here we would call the-attention pt all persons now building or contemplating, the importance, . and we may say the necessity, ot incorporating in ineir dwellings the necessary water arrange ments. .Dr. Mennihger has certainly been well repaid in 'his extra investment, to say nothing of the coveniecce affor ded.. - ' righteousness is kepi up to an orthodox standard.

We, have governmental machinery adequate, if put vigorously in force, to arrest an of fender against the peace and order of the State. To pay rewards for that which it is the duty of the law officers, is to offer immunity to them for a neg lect of their duty, and when that re ward is paid ior the shooting down ot a human being, hunted like a dog, how ever criminal such a person may be, is to encourage in the human breast a feeling hostile to the holy principles ot the Christian religion and destruc tive of all moral advancement.

D anbury on "Sohuytown" That's the Question. Mr. Mitchell, Repre sentative from Stokes county, on yester . day offered a petition to the House, signed by 66 citizens of said county, asking the Legislature to change the name of Danburv, the " county seat of said county, to the name of Sauraton, usually pronounced "Sorrytown." He also presented a counter petition signud by some 250 voters, asking that the name be not changed. Mr. Mitchell explained the petitions, and stated that the cause of this appli cation was supposed to be the result of one of the vagaries of Judge Cloud, who wants' to perpetuate the name of the original owners of that soil the tribe of Saura Indians, for whom the majestic Sauraton Mountain is named. Dan burv is situated, at the base of said mountain, and on the rijrht bank of that beautiful and romantic river, the Dan, and in two miles of tin; celebrated she eats the grounds, and licks out the cup and saucer. Nancy Jenkins is a queer creature ; has never been married ; nas no relatives, and a few intimate acquain tances, occasionally she viats a neigh bor, and staysail night. Living so long without eating hardly anything, she gorges her stomach, eating at a furious rate, and lias to ue checked and not allowed to eat all she wants. She has a whining voice,".waiks with a tottering step, goes bare-foot nearly all the win ter and summer, she is plainly ana thinly clad, wears a slouchy calico bonnet, and she is nothing but skin and bones. She weighs about eighty or ninety.pounds, is yellow complexion ed, and her hair is short and gray, the cause of it being short is that the rats nibble it off. She sleeps on her table. Her furniture is composed of a able and broken stool, and her; lonely :ottage is a drearv and miserable og-cabben. The Bible Meeting at Common's Hall.

On motion of Mr. Cunningham, the special order ordered lor the considera tion of the school bill, was reconsider ed and the bill referred to the Com mutee on Education. Orf the motion to refery Mr." Grandy desired to submit some remarks on this bill prepared by himself. Mr. Cunningham was satisfied Jhat Mr. Grandy's speech was a good one, and knew it would look well in print, he would therefore ask the Senator to hand his remarks to the reporters. Mr. Grandy yielded to the suggestion. The motion to reconsider the vote by which the proposition for the county of Gilliam was -indefinitely postponed was laid on the table, on mo.tion of Hyman, colored.

On the motion of Mr, Murphy to postpone the further consideration ot the resolution till Monday next, and be referred to the Judiciary Committee, Mr. Love called the previous question, and uoon this motion Mr. Avera demanded the yeas and nays. The call for the previous question was not sustained. The motion of Mr. Murphy to refer to the Judiciary Committee, withdrawing the day named for its consideration, prevailed. Special Order y At Hi o'clock the ,Constitutiona Amendments were taKen up' and considered. Mr. Grandv occupied the floor in op position, stating that ho had been misrepresented in the statement, that be was opposed to Constitutional Amend ments, but he was opposed to any alterations or . amendments to that instrument at this time. It was not important, and the people did no demand a chanj:--. If . there were imperfections in the , Con stitution, he would rat her stand by them than to '"fly to evils he knew not of," a this bill proposes. He referred to the clause in .the Constitution providing how it shall be changed or amended, and argued that the eighteen bills now offered were not in accordance there with. He was here interrupted by Mr. Morehead, of Guilford, who asked if he would vote for the original bill. Mr. Grandy no, sir. He thought the pas . sage ot the original bill was calculated to uproot the whole government of the State. To support the amendments, as they appear, he thought would be antag onistic to the law now existing, and would necessarily lead to revolution. A violation of one part was a violation of the whole, and he counselled Senators to avoid the dangerous ground they ments to pass: better there should be no party than a revolution, and he thought a revolution would inevitably follow if this sacred instrument, the Constitution, was tampered with. The present Constitution was as good a one as North Carolina ever had, and the people enjoyed more rights and privi- ,eges under it than ever beiore, and now to change it would bring upon us an other revolution: Mr. Gudger said he was a friend to the bill, but opposed to war. He was satisfied with the one he had just passed through, and if the gentleman (Mr. Grandy) could show the strength of his argument, he would take pleasure in going with him ; but he was not to be nghtencd bv this old Republican dodge of the cry of war. It was the known policy of the Republican party to resort o these alarming subterfuges. He read rom the Constitution to show that amendments proposed .were in strict accordance v. ith law. He was ready now and here to lay violent (?) hands on this organic law, and knew he would eel better in doing so. Harris, col., thought the matter under discussion was one of great importance, Q nnd sn lift wanted to vntfi understand I ingly, moved to have the amendments printed. He would say that :n this matter he did not propose to act as a Messrs. Normcnt, McNeill, Gorman and Bennett advocated the resolution. After debate the resolution passed its several readings. The bill to amend the act creating a Mechanics and Laborer's Lein Law t as taken up. lhe substitute offered by the com mittee was adopted. Un motion of Mr. Gorman, the bill was postponed until Tuesday and or dered to be printed.. ine bill to amend chapter 185, laws of 1871-'2 was taken up. (Allows voting by certificates.)

P R Y L E partisan, but for the best interests of his country, and wanted up more, elections than we could possiblv get along with. If tho passage of the amendments required an election next " summer, he would vote against them. Mr. Welch said it was merely quib bling for members to talk about printing the bill when nearly every newspaper in this State, has kept them as standing matter in their columns. On motion of Mr, Morehead, of Guil ford, the further consideration of the amendment was postponed till to-mor r.ow. Unfinished Business. The consideration of the Agricultural Bill came up, and the question first recurred on the amendment of Mr. Mer rimon. The amendment provides that the salaries of the proposed Commis sioners be paid out of the fund appro priated to the Geological survey. Allow ing them Sl,200 each for their services. Mr. Merrimon said that in his remarks yesterday on this amendment he meant no refiection'on the integrity . or honest purpose; of the State Geologist, and hoped it would not be so considered. He called the veas and nays on the amendment. Mr. Murphy addressed the Senate at considerable length in opposition to the amendment. Rather than reduce the appropriation lor Geological purposes he would vote to increase it. He de fended the Geologist against the derelic tions of duty charged by some Senators, and believed and had reason ta& know he had discharged his difficult duties acceptably to the people. He insisted upon hi3 trans-mountain friends with drawing their objection to this impor tant measure. Mr. Love said lie had been misrepre sented in stating he was opposed to the State Geologist, it was the office he was after. Pending the discussion, the Sen ate adjourned. I N G S T ' FOR 1873.

He called the attention of the Senator to -the Constitution to show that in offering these amendments that instrument had been complied with strictlv to the letter. Ail had been done that the law contemplated. These amendments could be passed.by concurrent resolutions, and he would refer him to the expressed opinion of the best lawyer. m the Re publican party, Hon. S. A. Phillips on' the subject. He did not believe the Senators ob jections to. the amendments were seriou?, bu; from the objections that have been raised by men of his party to oppose any Constitutional amendment at. any time. He would say to the gentlemen that the Republican party in the East might opposejn a body the Constitus tioual amendment-?, but not so in the West. ' In his Senatorial District were many Republicans, some of the' best men in the District, and he knew their sentiments in regard to these questions, and he would again say that as a parti- zan measure he uopeu every nepuou- can on this floor would 'vole against the proposed amendments.
