The principal leatcres of the proceedings of the House yester day were the reconsideration of the vote bv which the bill to amend the Consti tution in regard to Public Charities failed to pass its second reading, and its passage on the reading aforesaid, and the reconsideration ol the vote by which the amendment in reference to the Pub ic n,Kt f.iih-d nn its third readiug.

Among the most interest'' ng -Vubi ect s of discussion during the naif; week in me , uenerai Assembly was upon tut passage of the School Bill in the Senate Mr. Warimx, the able and "bold Senator from Mecklenburg.endeavored to amend the section imposing a tax of 8 cenis on the hundred dollars worthot proper- ty, on the ground t)finiustice to the tax payees in counties like his own, which were nearlvevenlv divide ?n nnnni.. tion betweaa the whites and the blacks, 1 oat in wrucn nine-tenths ot the proper- omwi-bc pcui"c utt blxhc uuswmeis. ty was owned by the whites. This of Vie difficulty may be the better appre course wonld annlv with still nnrp ciated when it is considered to what an Jbrce to counties like.New Hanover and xugecomoe, wuere tne tax would be I paid by one class of the copulation and the monev would , be snpnt lmnat altogether in educating the children ol I the other class. Mr; Dunham made a manly, but fruitless effort to have the whole section striken out, with a view o incorporate it in the Revenue Bill, wherein it is proposed to make the non payment of the poll tax a misdemeanor. t is said that the colored Radicals arc very willing to vote to tax the property of the whites to educate negro children, put will vote against the Revenue Bill, if the non-payment of the poll tax is made a misdemeanor, although it is imposed for educational purposes. Although the School Bill, passed by almost a united Conservative vote. im posing this tax, the Era, the Radical organ of the Statt, in its local columns of Saturday, hs a mischievous, it not an infiamatory, article about "poor trash" and "rich gentry," disgraceful ahke to the columns of a respectable paper and to the party ty which tolerates such stuff. I find the northwestern members of both Houses, and some of the very best and most industrious in the General Assembly come from that section, are very anxious to have railroad connec tion with our port, and hold out in ducement to turn our road towards their section. Senator Gudger, of Yan cey, r.s sturdy us his native mountains : Senator Ellis, of Catawba, industrious and, zealous; Senator Flemming, of McDowell, impetuous and polished, and Representative Jones, of Caldwell, active and enthusiastic, point ' out with much fervor, the rich productions of "Hajpy Valley" in Caldwell, and the vast wealth of the mines ot Mitchell, Yancey and Watauga counties. I am glad to meet again an old and valued Inend, Colonel J. W. Cuning- ham, the Senator Ircm Person. No more popular or estimable gentleman ives. He was a young and honored member of the Senate when Morehead, and Avery, and Clark, and Worth and Out aw traced that Chamber. His re- cent-speech on the - Constitutional Amendments shows "that time, "which has frosted his hair, has added-vigor and research to his mind. In Colonel Cuningham,-and the accomplished and scholarly McGehee, Person can, with pride, point to her Representatives in the General Assembly.

Stanford and Outlaw, of Duplin, Normenband McNeill, ot Robe son, have shown a disposition to assist the citizens of Wilmington and New Hanover, which should commend them to the. kindly consideration oi our people. I regret that sickness has kept Colo nel Bennett from his seat for some time.

Jt is to our advantage, and certainly necessarY fc? x consistency, that we welcome wun Kincuy encouragement and prompt counsel and assistance, those vyho do'comtv ; with strong arms and noble hearts, to cst their lot among- us. The return to Europe of one slightei, disappointed immigrant to North Caro lina, would exert an influence against immigration, us far as it became known, that no Land Company with its circu lars, or Convention with its'resolutions, could successfully counteract! These thoughts, I frankly confess, are introductory to the statement that there are D0W tw0 Erjgl"h emigrants a younS married couple in Ihe city, from boia I have received a "vVesleyan minlsters letter, testifying to thor ac- credited christian character, who appear l??1l?PeVot1 tue genuine, worthy English, and w;ho are anxious to find some sphere of useful, moral, profitable work. At home, the gentleman was first a farmer, and then for years a book keeper. He will not only engage in these, but will cheerfully take any proper work that he can do. If any wish to communicate with him, they .can see him at the City-Hotel, or address him through the Post Office, nis name is James Gunson.' .. . I write this to be consistent with the views expressed. V ery respectfully, A. W. Makgum. fFor the Daily New3. Messrs. Editors: A communication in the editorial columns of the Payette q Eagle, does me gross injustice. I went to Harnett county under orders and discharged my duty. If I did not, I am amenable to the Court, and to public sentiment. An appeal to the first cannot be made, lor I 'have done nothing; an appeal to the second, (to FUUi1 bcuumeut,; uavi- uctu miuc, however, I ask to be heard. When I arrested Neil Harrington, he could not give bail, and I rode for it, from Turner s X Roads to Lulington. His father being bankrupt, I applied to his uncles for their nephew, one of whom was a Republican. Harrington is, therefore, now at large, and has never been thrown into prison. The parties with me are also aspersed as "sneaking fellows," &c.,'and relief demanded against their re appearance in Harnett county. It is not my busi ness to vouch for them, but they are fearless, modest, law-abiding men, and . ! 1 .1. 1 .1.. it is not rigat to assail - mem in mis manner. We are all liable to action if we have done anv wrong. And as to the complainings of the parties, who seem aggrieved without cause, and against whom we have only a just feel ing of resentment, we ask the public.

Mr. Worth said it was necessary that this resolution should be acted upon at once, as before the adontion ol the Revenue bill it should be known what waq to lm 1one with ,t.hi Ppnitpntiarv contract. , : ; Mr. ResDes3 hoDed the resolution would nass. as the State was not able to comnletp the contract as it now ex- isted It was a fraud and imposition upon the State. ' Mr. Worth thought the Messrs. Cole man were ready to-treat with a Com mittee of this kind at any time, f v Mr. Welch was under the impresion that the Messrs. Coleman had so far vi olated the contract that the Legislature would be justified in breaking the con tract with them. The State should ig nore the contract entirely, and the Pen- itentiarv Board should &o on with the erection of the building, by the aid of an architect, with the convict labor. He Would not say that the contractors had been euiltv of fraud, but he could contract when it had bpen so far viola- not aiiow mat me Diaie io ue ueiu io a ; ted, as was evidenced by investigations made by a joint Committee last session as to necessitate :the tearing down of everything that had been done. Mabson, col., coincided with the views held by Mr. Welch, but desired the resolution referred to the Penal Committee. Mr. Allen said the Penal Committee 0f tue last Legislature was under the impression that the contract had not been ferfeited. but that the Legislature had a right to compel the contractors to comply wun tne speculations.

It the contract could be obtained from the hands of the Messrs. Coleman in any way, it should be done at once. Mr. Worth offered an amendment in structing the said Committee to report what tax will be necessary to provide tor the support of this institution during the present year.

Mr. Hanner was announced as being detained from his seat by sickness. A message was received from the Senate transmitting a letter from J. S. Anderson, member ot the House ol Representatives Irom Clay county, to J W. Norwood, a memoer ot ttie benate Irom Orange county, saying that he and others were determined to vote against the bill tor amnesty and pardon, unless the party would give Hon. Josiah lur ner a lair chance lor ttie public printing. (For full letter see Senate proceedings.) Mr. McGehee said that it this matter meant anything, it meant an offer-for a bargain in relation to a public measure. The honor , of the House demanded an investigation, and he demanded it. He said if the'House stooped to legislation of this kind, it would and should sink into merited contempt, &c. Mr.. Bennett said, at the request o! Mr. Anderson, he would offer a resold tion for investigation. Mr. Anderson said the letter vas in tended in the nature of a private com munication. and meant to draw out the opinion of the gentleman to whom it was addressed. He had no intention to reflect upon the'.integiety of the Ho'u.'e, and knew not he was transgressing tht bounds of propriety. He would will iuglyf abide the action ot this body. Mr. Gorman thought the letter plainly impugned the integrity ot theCom nrt- tee who awardeil the contract for the printing. Mr. Gudger said. he felt it his duty, as Chairman of the House branch of the Printing Committee, to speak" as there was an imputation against that Com mittee. He said the committee in pur suance of law, and in good faith, made the contract wuh the .News office. He believed the House to be sutUried will the contract, and knew lie s p"ke the sentiments ol every intnibtr of the Com mittee ia saying tiny could not, nor would not n they could, recede irom their contract. He rcguroca the -many insinuations, against that Committee as ia!.-e and unworthy o! notice. Mr. Badger : You cuino- und. the contract if vou v.ouUl.
