much suff-.i ing prevented. By slight
efforts tho Association will receive euch
assistance in this matter as will relieve
a large number of persons who are ab

and it is hoped that good people will
see the importance of such action at

WESTERN RAILIPWD.
The fp.'cial oider the bill to change
the nnuo of and authorize the Western
ri?oaltihi) Rauroad Company to ron-
solida e with the Munt Airy RaUreaij
CtwaDinv. nnd to compete the same,
was taken np and passed its secoi'd
reading.
Mr. Alexatder oppose 1 the hi'.l. Ho
cousiderel it unwise for the State to
build railroad in th preseat condition
f the treasury. Ha paw no advantage
10 acciue to the Bt te Irom this work,
and thought it better to relinquish the
State's interest iu it aud let tue bond
holders o ahead and make the moft o
it. Hftd-cidedly objected to empower
ing townth ps aou counties t issue
interest-bearing bonds, as crippling tbe
educational interests ot the State, for
upon the township system of taxation
only could the people rely for the edu
caiiou of their childreu. He feared the
prefeut demand of this Company to be
a mere entering wedge, and felt sure
that the work, before completed, would
cost the State some four millions of
dollars.
Mr. Scales expressed bis surprise at
the position taken by the Senator from
Mecklenburg, in view of tbe advanta
ges derived by his county from rail
roads. Mr. Scales was willing to feccept
tbe offer of the Senator from Meckimi
bnrg if he could get the Legislature to
concur with him in accepting the road
with the State's interest and complet
ing the work. Mr. Scales then pro
ceeded to examine the proceedings of
the bill. This road bad already cost
$1,100,000 from Fayetteville to Egypt,
a distance of 43 miles, and of this in
terest the State owed eleven-fourteenths.
There were judgments
against the company to the amount of
$50,000, under which a sale of tbe road
was threatened in June next. Nearly
all of the sum of $50,000 was money ad
vanced by friends of the road in Fay
ettsville to save it from spoiliation
and to rescue It from the hands of the
unscrupulous into which the fortunes
of war had fo ced it. It was proposed
to ask authority to igue bonds to an
amount not ex eeding $4 K).0 -0 to com
plete tbe road to Greensboro, said
bouds not tr bo used ui.ti! the ro ul thu'l
have b. en grad -d, except to an amount
of some $.J,0o0 which 1 ' e Stato is to
be required to subscribe to p:y the
pres-iiir judgments and save the road
from sale. It was not proposed to p ly
this roonev out of the trfa-airy, hut to
fund t e li tie d.'bt and savrf tho rra I
once more, fiat is to isiu bonds f. r
$5i,000 to save 61,000,000. Mr. Scales
dwelt at length upon th prospects of
the undertaking iu Yadkiu valley, and
appealed to the friends of the Western
N, C. Railroad, who bad bi-en aided of
late by tho State to the amount of
fS50,0'iO tocletr off its debt, and 670,
0 0 per annum to continue the work.
Mr. S-iow followed in support of the
bill, occupying tbe grouud gone over
by Mr. Scales.
Mr. Re.fpass was opposed to the bill
acd coi 'iHered the proposed subscrip
tion f $.3 000 as a gilt to the road. If
the ioai was so valuable why did its
friends not raise the required sum in
dependently of the St;itt? While try
iug to commute tbe State debt he
thought it poor policy to b. addicg to
it.
Mr. Caldwell advocated the passage
of the bill.
Mr. Hoyle said he was the friend of
internal improvements, and disliked to
oppose this measure, as he s.w th?
beait of tbe Senator fr m Guilford
was in it. But he had a duly to per
form towards his constituents and tbe
p"Opl of the Htate generally. He re
gaided the 150,000 asked for as a bonus
to the road, and bethought it would
have an unfavorable effect upon the
State's creditors, whom we were now
anxious to conciliate. He admitted
the bill bad claims, but all our railroad
enterprises should not be endangered
by an attempt to carry too many. He
favored the idea of Mr. Alexander to
f live the company the State's interest
n the work, rather than involve the
State further.
Mr. Austin was opposed to giving
OUR
counties power to vote for stock ii
public works; would build this road if
he could; but he feared the present
abbscription was only the beginning of
series of such demands, lbote who
had money to build railroads let them
go ahead, but let those alone who did
not want them.
Me. Evertt said the only question for
the Senate was whether the debt was
just and honorable, and if so, it should
be paid ,
Mr Byn-n .corrected a misappre
hendon in regard to the idea of a bonus.
The Mate, ittenrling her credit to the
amount of $-50,000 received bonds to
that amount.
Mr WiHistnson said that of the $1.
stock of the coonany the StiK.e,
15wned ab mfcHl&tOOO, whicTTat 6 per
cent., its present value, gave fbo.000,
and this the sum it was proposed to
send $50,000 for. He yielded to no
men in revence for the honer of the
State, but he thought it might be that
the gentleman for whom this sum was
asked had a view to their personal in
terests iu caring lor those of the State,
The discussion was further contin
ued by Messrs. Scales, Henderson
Alexander, Davidson, Williamson,
''aid well; Snow, Bryan, of Duplin,

Mr. Graham, of Lincoln, saw no ne
cessity of -p:nding this sum. If the
road was unencumbered, mortgage
bonds c uild be issued to clear off the

CHARGES AGAINST A MEMBER.
Tiie special order, being the consid
eratiou of the report of the comm ttee
ef investigation of cV.rres of drunken
ness against B. R. Brown, member
from Yadkin, with a resolution
for his expulsion, then came up.
Mr. Blocker spoke; thought it was
better to act upon the report. While
sympathising with the unfortunate
member, the" purity and integrity of the
House must be preserved.
Mr. Foard said the gentleman was
before the House, and sober, and had
promised to reform. He therefore
moved that the resolution be passed
over informally.
Mr. Colwell said it was due the dig;
nity of the House to pass the reaolu
tion. The gentleman had made prom
ises eie this; had boen givou time to
ret tu in. but does not.
Mr. ruient taid tbe Houe was not
the cons' ivator of morals. The ques
ti n is a delicate one, and we should
proceed accoidingly. He t'touht it
should all bd postponed indefinitely.
This view was also taken by Messrs.
Woodh- use, Atkinson and Jones.
Mr. Turner t-ai I tne first man ex
p? II ;d t: om tin Houe was o e Potter,
f. r mi to'iing a stakj at a card table.
He had sn oltl ;a's drunk, judges,
leis'at us. He did n t think so harsh
a meij-ure as tuis w s proper or j 1st.
Mr. Woodbousa had the first five
veises of tjie 7th chipt.r of St. Mat
thew read as a portion of his remarks.
Tue members apo auded at the conclu
sion of the real n 7, manifesting an
appreciation of the scriptures totally
uuexpectel.
Tbe motion of Mr. Foard to pass over
informally, was then adopted.
Bill to incoiporate tho town of Spar a.
Alleghany county, pissed.
GILLIAM COUNTY.
On motion of Mr. Ani, the bill to
establish the couuty of Giiliam, to be
formed out of portions of Fiaoklin,
Warren and Granville, was taken up.
Mr. Amis fpoke to the b 11, sryu't' it
gave the right to the people, uy their
votes, whether or not tho ne v county
should be erected. II give several
cogent reasons for the formation of
the proposed county. The bili is mer -torious,
works no barm to auy one, and
wi l prove a benefit.
Mr. Clarke offered an amendment
that the questio ; be submitted to the
vote of the people of all the counties
from whence the new one will be
formed.
Mr. Norment was opposed to the
formation of new counties, and sup
oorted Mr. Clarke's amendment.
Mr. Amis opposed the amendment,
as the 10 003 pe ple who desired the
county had rights of their own in this
way.
Mr. Cooke took ground a2ainst this
sort of local seo -government and saw
no need of the new county. Let them
wait until the census is taken, and then
ke steps in the matter. Another ob
jection is that these matters of local
legislation, especially a bill 1 ke this
which will be fought at every reading,
ought not to be considered now, but
business of public moment instead.
Mr. Christmas did not favor th biil.
Warren county was not in debt, the
finances were wisely administered, and
there was no need of any portion of it
being thus lopped off.
Mr. Burroughs said th bill was op
posed by a large portion of the people
of Granville, who eev- ':o necessity lor
it. He favored ther m lion to tsble.
Mr. Amis made an earnest speech in
dvoacy of the right of these people,
as North Carolinians, as freemen, to
have a voice in this matter.
Mr. Cooke then moved to table th?
Bill, and tbe House voted so to do.
Bill to re-open the quarantine hos
pital at Smithville, passed its readings.
Bill to prevent the use of drag-nets
in the waters of New river, Onslow
county, by which the natives capture
all the oysters, was somewhat dis
cussed, and passed.
Bih to canal Angola bay, in Pender
county, by convict labor, etc. Mr.
Colwell urged the importance of the
woik, which would prove immediately
profitable to the State. Mr. Lamb also
epoke of the propriety of carrying on
the work, which would put 70,000
acres of tine lands, Slate property.upon
the market. Mr. Davis, of Haywood,
stated that a bill to this effect had been
before passed, but some imperfection
made it inperative, and favored the
measure, as did Messrs. Blocker and
I Bill to allow tbe Rabun Gap Short
Line R. R. lo use 50 couvictt, passed
its readings.
Bdi to prevent the hauling of seins 01
;he use of traps in the Neuse aud Ta;

abla woids, arid tuiuking ihsy were in
the preamole, moved to strike them
out, and was uoc aware that tuey weio
in it. He thought it not p;oper in tjuy
member to avail himself of his positiiu
uo ltllect upju any uffi;ial individual
ly. Mr. English introduced a resolution
to annul tbe leso'-j'. .-n, ruyiugthat it
was calcalited to cast &.o.r upou the
officials of that departme!t, wbich was
uot in the province of the House- .
Mr. Mebane, the introducer of tbe

iutep4.tOLt nyrcti6n tipoi any
officials of the Department of Agricul
lure, but merly stated that ths funds
were not disbursed iu tbe interest 01
tlie farmers. He was willing 10 agree
to the aunulling resolution, however.
Messrs. Turner aud l'avljr iudu!gd
in a lengthy discussion upou the en
tire scope of Vhe department, fertilizers
fish hatching, etc. 1 ha resolution was
then adopted. Mr. HarieJ introduced
a resolution to raise a committee of

Arsenic Smoking.
The roving gypsies aud horsi jockies
of most, countries, and even the Arabs
aud Tartars, gives their horses arsenic
as a remedy for broken wind and
heaves, and to improve thiir general
condition. According to M. Montegu,
formerally French Cvosul in China, no
tobacco is smoked in Northern Chin
without the addition of arsenic, and
missionary's have assured him t' at the
arsenic-smokers are stout fell jws, with
lungs like blacksmiths' hello-, and
r-j.-y as cherubs. Dr. Luue, rcce 1 1
and Trousseau earlier, have r ctn
mended the smoking of arseukaicc
cigarettes in lung diseases.

Three Potter Committee t'olatu
Wa-hi igton Post.
It is impossible for any intelligen:
man to read the evidence given before
the Potter committee and be convinced
of three things: First, that the elec
toral vote of Florida was offered to the
Democrats aud its purchase declined ;
second, t bat the Republicans did agree
to pay for that vote ; third, that Mr.
Hayes has con firmed the contract bj
Diving for that vote out of tbe public
Treasury, the payment being made
under the guise of salaries. That is
all there is of it.
