Mr. French called up the resolution to jhange the Rules, but was interrupted oy the call of the special order which, however, was postponed for thirty minutes. Mr. French moved that “two” should be substituted for ‘one” in see 6, so that the Speaker may put a substitute in his place for t wo days, adopted; New Rule 13 prohibiting sinok ing in hall, adopted; Rule 14 to meet jvery day at 10 a. m., adopted. Mr Peebles moved to amend by adding “aud adjourn at 2, "adopted. Rule 22, give - 4wo minutes to speeches explaining votes, Adopted; Rule 19, 20 minutes for first jpeech and ten minutes for second speech instead of 30 and 15 respectively in the tld rules. Mr. Peebles thought the time too short, and that the old time was not too long. Moreover, Mr. Peebles object •ad to the won! “majority," in the rule which would give to the other side all he time they wanted Debate ua French’* Rules. Mr. French insisted ou 20 minutes ou which Mr. IYeblee called the ayes and woes, saying at the same time that it would take a two-thini vote to change this rule, and asked Mr. French if he iould cite a single authority to the con trary, Mr. French cited the Demxjratic convention of 1875 on having suspended the rules bv a majority, to which Mr. Peebles replied that that was not a par liamentary body in existence. Mr. French again insisted on citing the Con reution of 1875 as applicable to the case vhere a body meeting without rules should adopt rules by a majority. Mr. Peebles would not admit that the house was meeting under no rules now; he said we had come here and adopted rules, and now on this resolution they could not be changed, except by a two-thirds vote. Mr. French said that old Rule 38 had been omitted in the adoption of the >ld rules, the rule which required two thirds to change a rule. Mr. French wanted to know, if in the absence of 5 rules, was the h'-use governed by a ma- I jority. Mr. Peebles thought the house would, in that case, be under general parliamentary law, and asked Mr j French to cite any authority for his position, which Mr. did not think he could do. Mr. French finally consented to make the “ten.” “fifteen” minutes. Rule 40 was adopted, , “majority" being substituted for “two thirds." Rule 53, to repeal the old Rule 51, which required two-thirds to suspend the rules to read a public act twice the same day. This power was to be given to the “majority.” “Not I,” Said Watser. Mr. French said that the Speak er had ruled on that point, in which the Speaker said Mr. French was mistaken. Mr. Smith, of Gates, | Bpoke against a majority being able to rush a bill through; thought it was a dan gerous precedent. Mr. French said that yesterday there were only about 90 odd members' present, and this new rule call ing for a “majority of members" would yesterday have been practically equal to a two-thirds vote, t hough he did not pro pose to lie bound by it two-thirds vote. ; Mr. Smith said that if they insisted on giving such power to a majority, he at least hoped that the one day’s notice feature of the rule should stand even if then the majority, only, should be allowed to prevail. Mr. Winborne offered a substitute prohibiting the passage of a bill on its second and third readings the same day, except by a two-thirds vote. Mr. French said that such substitute would be nullified by Rule 40, just adopted by the House, which gave the “majority" a right to change a rule Mr. Winborne thought not, and said that such guard as he proposed against hasty legislation was for the benefit of the friends as well as the opponents of a bill. Mr. Smith, of Stanly, thought that we should not bo gagged here by any such rules as those proposed here, and thought that a man should at least have a night’s sleep over a bill, unless two thirds said otherwise. Mr. Smith said he appealed to the House iu the name of calm, cool legislation. Venom of Lti*k ami Henderson. Mr. Lusk said that iu Webster’s spell j i#ig book, he had read that it depended upon whose ox was gored. They gored our ox, and now we’ll gore them Mr. Ray wanted to know’ if Mr Lusk was doing this for political purpose. Mr. Lu*k said that Democrats had acted this I way, and now they proposed to do like wise. Mr. Smith, of Gates, asked wheth- j er the two-thirds feature had not always been preserved by the Democrats. Mr. Lusk cited the Alliance Charter as a esse of hasty legislation, saying that a gentle j man had called the previous question be- I fore he sat down, and that it had been rushed through in two hours. Mr. Mc- Kenzie asked Mr Lusk if he thought this was right, and asked him had he not said that two wrongs did not make a right. Mr. Lusk asked Mr. McKenzie if he plead guilty, Mr. McCall opposed the resolution with earnestness, aud Mr. Lusk asked him if for fifteen years the Democrats had not run rough- | shod over their side. Mr McCall said j he had been a member only this session but did not believe it, and continued his remarks, resented the criticism of a pH per that had counselled strictures upou speeches by minority members. Mr. McCall said that the Democrats re presented 130,000 voters and the day of reckoning would come. “Done Come?" s said Mr. L»sk, “day of reckoning done come !” Mr. Smith, of Stanly, read from the rules of 1889, and Mr. Smith, of Gates, said that the Democrats had never I done otherwise than have a two-thirds j rule. Mr French asked did not the Democrats have two thirds majority? Mr. Henderson said his side “had the coon,” and that they were going to undo twenty years of legislation and make ten years of new’ legislation. Mr Smith, of Gates, wanted to know if undoing twen ty years of legislation would put the State in the condition it was twenty years ago. (Applause.) The Speaker threatened to j clear the lobbies. Mr. Peebles wanted i to know the color of the coon. Mr. Hen derson said that Mr. Peebles ought to know, as he was seated yesterday, he was dark complected. Mr. Henderson said Mr. Ray talked on everything, and he proposed to “do." Mr. Ray said he came here without a halter, and was ex pected to speak when it was to the inter ; cst of his constituents; he said Mr. Lusk had unloaded his keg of sulphur. Mr. Lusk said he wouldn’t intrench ou Democratic property by going to g- t sul phur from the place where it was made. Raps Eloquent Outburst. Mr. Ray said that Mr, Henderson had j displayed the s*me spirit that a man would who would take a man out aud j swing him up without judge or jury, ! that his remarks were nothing less than j the poison iu the faugs of a serpent, aud he was surprised, but under the circum stances he did not know that he should be. Mr French said that he had always tried to rule conscientiously and accord- j ing to rules as parliamentary law, aud he hoped Mr. Ray would do him the justice to say so. Mr. Ray said that Mr French had personally always treat- : ed him fairly. Mr Ray denounced any statement that he was trying to obstruct legislation as false. “Don’t come here i like a pirate to bind and gag us and try i i to rob us of the weapon that the i laws of every civilized country give the minority, in the spirit of Mr. Lesk who admitted that he was doing it for political purposes* 1 appeal to your j manhood not to take away the weapons ‘ which every law gives us; I appeal to • your self respect, intelligence and hon , 1 osty not to do so; if not, you will be j hurled from power as Brutus hurled the ■ Tarquins of old. Mr. Henderson, inter- • rupting and pointing his finger at ! Mr Ray, said he was personally res i ponsible for what he had said. “So am i I,” said Mr Ray, “and take back nothing j unless I have (Tone a mau an injustice, and I don't think I have done an iDjus- 1 tiee to the gentleman from Wilkes. The j speaker called the members to order say ing that the remarks were not ou the question. The substitute of Mr Winborne the ayes and noes being called, j was put with the following result: | ayes 37, noes 66. Then the resolution \ was adopted by a viva voce vote. Mr. I French moved that the resolution as a whole be adopted on which Vr Peebles The News and Observer, Saturday, January 26, 1895. called the ayes and noes with the follow > ing result, ayes 69. noes 35. French's New Rnles. The changes brought abont by the I passage of this resolution are as follows. In Rule 6of the old rules “one day” ! is changed to “two days.'' Two new rules are added, and in the j new rule? are numbered 13 and 14. Num ber 13 reads as follow- “Smoking shall not be allowed in the hall.” Number 14 reads: “House shall meet every day (except Sunday) at 10 a. m., j and adjourn at 2." The interpolation of these two rules moves forward the numbers of the new rules two, as compared with the num bers of *be old rules. Rule 17 (new rule 19) “thirty min utes’’ should be changed to “twenty minutes,” referring to length of first speech on the main question. In Rule 20 (new rule 22) th<> following modification is made: “and no member shall consume more than two minutes in explaining his vote, unless by consent of the House.'’ In Rule 28 (new rule 30) the following is stricken out: “and no motion to re consider shall be taken from the table except by a two third vote " In Rule 38 (new Rule 40) a “rcajori ty" only, instead of “two thirds,” as be fore. is required to change the rules of the House. In Rule 51 (new Rule 53) “two-thirds” is changed to a “majority" in the follow ing line: “No public bill shall be twice read on the same day without the con currence of two thirds of too members " New Rule 57 adds “or the member in i charge of the measure," referring to those who may call the previous ques ; tion. An error has crept into the new rules ! as follows: “On page 10, tenth line from the bottom ‘rule 25’ should be rule 27." Mr. Henderson rose to a question of personal privilege and disclaimed any intention of personal offense to Mr Ray, and Mr. Ray did the same toward Mr. Henderson. Mr. French moved that 200 copies of the new rules be printed. So ordered. Mr. French moved that the special order touching age of consent, be deferred un til to-day at 12 o'clock, (carried). Then Mr. Robinson moved that it be deferred until Monday at 11 o'clock, saying that the galleries would to morrow (Saturday) j be probably occupied by school girls. Mr. Williams, of Craven, moved sus pension of rules and second and third readings of amendment to a bill to change times of holding Superior Court of Craven and Bertie eouties; bill passed second and third readings, and was or dered sent to the Senate without en- I grossment. Mr. White, bill for relief of W. G Sut ton, late Sheriff of Bladen. Mr. White asked that amendments be incorporated. Mr. French hoped no objection would be made. Mr. Young thought that it should 1 be referred to the committee. Mr White said that if Mr. Young would attend to j Wake county he would attend to Bladen, to which only this matter referred. Mr. Young said that while he represented Wake, he was a member of the General Assembly of North Carolina. The ifues tion was whether or not. certain monies should be refunded to the Sheriff of Bla den. Mr. Peebles moved its reference to committee, and Mr. White hoped that the motion would not prevail. Mr. McKen zie asked was not the question brought up ten years ago. Mr. White said yes, but that its third reading had been pre vented then only by the Speaker’s mauip- 1 ulation of the calendar. Mr. Ewart I thought it would look like a reflect ion on Mr. White who shouldered the responsi bility to make factious opposition. Mr | Peebles didn’t regard his opposition as factious, but thought there were grave questions of constitutionality involved, quest ions as to whether we had the right to pass it at all or not. The vote was taken. For reference, 15; against reference, 51. The bill, as amended, passed its sec- | ond reading. Mr. Monroe asked to take up H. B. 318, to which objection was made by Mr. Turner, of Mitchell, who afterward with drew it. The bill was concerning a ward in the North Carolina Ir.sane Asylum the use of which was needed now. Mr. Young said that the bill would have to be referred as it carried an appropria tion. The Speaker said there was no rule for this, and said the gentleman from Wake was out of order. Mr. Young then objected, aud the bill wa* not called. Ewart Wants More Scouts. The bill allowing the Committee on Privileges and Elections to apjioint sub committees to go after persons and papers was called up by Mr. Ewart, who said the committee did not like to t ike such action without the consent of the legislature. Mr. Ewart said that one witness for the contestee from Halifax had been examined for three days to get evidence as to his color, relatives, Ac , &c\, to get at one fact, namely, how he j voted, which even the conies tee’s couusel j considered irrelevant. Mr. Ewart said that they did not propose to send sub committees unless absolutely necessary; that thus far they had consented to send only to two counties, namely ; Edgecombe and Halifax. Mr. Henderson opposed the resolution, aud said that contestants should have their cases made j out without subjecting the committee to | the expense of sending all over North Carolina after evidence. The resolution i was adopted. Mr. Ewart handed up ; another resolution, providing for send ing for witnesses to eome to Raleigh, not more than two to l?e summoued on any one fact. Mr. White said the committee was divided, and he thought that a con testant should make out his own case in his own county; he didu’t think that ! any witnesses should be subpoenaed to come to Raleigh, aud didn't think the State should lx? put to the expense. Mr. j Ewart said that Mr White was the only j opponent in the committee, and that the contestant would pay the expens ?. Mr. White said the contestant might be in solvent. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 41 to 37. Mr. Mitchell called up LI. B. 151 to extend the time for organization and j i change of name of bank in Ixnusbutg. j i Passed second reading Third reading ; called for. Turner objected but with drew objection on the request of Mr. . Ewart. The bill then passed its third i reading, and was ordered sent to the Senate without engrossment. Mr. Burn- 1 ham called up bill 176. Mr. Turner ob i jeered. The bill for graded schools in Mt. Airy was laid before the House (recommended by committee) in charge Mr. Norman of ! Surry The bill passed its second read i ing Mr. Norman called up bill to j amend charter of Mt. Airy. Passed second and third reading. Mr. Hunter called up a bill to legalize a marriage' in Robeson; objection was made. Leave* of Absence, Messrs. Gritzard until Tuesday; Lin ney for Saturday; Crews until Tuesday; Ewart until Wednesday; Smith, of Stan ly, for Saturday. Announcement of Committee*. OnLibrary: Phillips of Randolph. Chair man.

S B. 67, to authorize commissioners of Jacksou county to levy a special tax of #6,000 to build a bride across Tuck asegee river passed its third reading. S B 5, to require criminals sentenced for certain crimes in Bertie county to work on public roads of that county, passed third reading. Substitute reported by the judiciary committee for S. B 69, repealing chap ter 520, laws of 1889, passed second reading S. B. 10, to enable plaintiffs to recover fees paid to unseated defendants in State ! and county offices during the parts of j terms the latter may have served by re- j quiring contestee officers to give bond in ' the sum of #2OO for the payment of such fees, passed third reading as amended by committee. S. B. 24, to prevent usury in the tak ing of a greater rate of interest than that j allowed by law, or in discounting paper ! for more than six per cent , with for- j feiture penalties, was laid on the table, r 8. B. 13, to amend section 733 of the j Code, was laid on the table. 8. R 41, to inquire into the case of I Mrs. P. D. B. Arington, provoked a spicy debate. Senator Lindsay, P , of ! Rockiugham, who introduced the reso- j lution, slid that Mrs. Arrington, iu a pamphlet placed upon the desk of every I Senator, had made serious charges j against members of the legal fraternity and of the judiciary. He desired an in- 1 vestigation into the facts, as he believed j Mrs. Arrington had suffered grave wrong if her statements were not untruths. Senator Hoover, P., of Wilson, said it | w as due the gentlemen whose characters had been assailed by Mrs. Arrington that au investigation he made If her charges were true or untrue, he thought the world ought to know it. Senator Fowler, P., of Sampson, thought the courts were the proj>er re sorts for Mrs. Arrington, if she had grievances. The General A .-seen My could not undertake to tell the Supreme Court what was law in her case. Seuator Cook, R , of Warren, said he had l> eu an attorney for Mrs. Arritig ton's husband, and was one of ihe legal fraternity she had assailed in her pamph let. He state?! that the charges with reference to himself wore false, malicious and unfounded, and upon this ground he assumed the charges made against other gentlemen to bo equally false aud unfounded. NU-. Carver Create* a Sensation. Senator Carver, R , of Cumberland, de sired an investigation. He had suffered by injustice at the handsof the judiciary, he said, and he had s*eti a judge upon the bench intimidated hy a la\ man on the court-house floor, and had been do niod an appeal to a higher court when he ask??) it. Senator Cook state?! that this was a grave charge to make against a judge. “It is nevertheless true,” replied Sena tor Carver.” and if you desire it, f can give the judge's name." Senator Co??k did not insist upon a calling of names. aud Senator Grant, It , of Wayne, approached Senator Carver, and whispered an ad monition to him! But the Senator from Cumb?'rland was aroused, and his face flushed with auger a* he calle?i to mind a scene in the old courthouse of Cum berland county. “I demand the Judge’s name," said ; Senator Abell, D., of Johnston. “His name is Seymour," said Senator Carver. This declaration ended an almost pain ful suspense, and tha friends of our pres , eut Superior Court Judges drew sighs of relief. [ Senater Cook arose aid stated that he had intimately known Judge Seymour on 5 j the Superior Court bench, and in the capacity of United States District At j | tornev he had intimately known him as a Federal Judge, and that he had always found him a man of the highest charac ter and most unflinching integrity. He regarded him as one of the last men to lx? intimidated in any manner. The 1 resolution which provoked this exciting debate was laid upon the table. His temperature having fallen, Sena tor Carver arose and explained that he might possibly have done J edge Seymour some injustice. His remarks were based, upon an assumption of himself and his friends, in w’hieh he might have been mistaken. The bill to amend the Constitution of | North Carolina to prevent trusts, com ; bines and monopolies doing business in the State, or regulating the prices of j commodities, having been reported un favorably, w’as withdrawn by its author, Senator McOaskey, P., of Martin H. B 79, allowing dentists longer time in which to register, passed its third reading. i S. B 117. amending chapter 50, sec- : I tion 2049 of the Code, relative to con I detuning and assessing raal property for public use, and requiring money to be paid owners of condemned laud Is frore they surrender property, passed its third reading. This aet applies only to Mitch ell county. 8. B. 69, to prevent delay and regulate J forwarding of freight by railroad compa nies, gave rise to considerable debate. Ttie substitute reported by the commit tee for this bill provided that railroads should pay double the amount of loss or damage which followed from failure to dispatch consignments promptly. I Senator Fowler, P., of Sampson, offer? d an amendment requiring railroads to pay | shippers #25 a day for each day ship ments of consignments was delayed. Senator Fowler spoke at length in sup port of his amendment. The Sampson I huckleberry was a prominent factor in | the subject rna'ter of his argument. He j j desired to protect the small shippers of I truck in eastern North Carolina, and he ; voiced the sentiments of the people of that section, he said. Senator Cook, R., of Warren, sent j forward an amendment to Senator ! Fowler’s amendment, making the penalty I #lO a day for each day freight was do- j I layed. He said that there should be no j | disposition on the part of the General i Assembly to oppress railroads, but s>m | ply to do equal justice to them and the people. Senator Starbuck, R , of Guilford, j said railroads have rights that deserve respect as well as individuals. Mr. White, R.. of Alamance, said he wished to say in reply to the intimation of Seuator Fowler that Senators who did not be careful how they voted in this matter would not be here at the next General Assembly, that he was not here now to make law with a view of being ; returned. He had been a railroad ag-mt , for twenty five years and knew the diffi j eulties that railroads labored under. He j i was surprised at Senator Fowler's attempts to arouse the preju- 1 j dioes of the masses against rail- ; l roads. He desired equal justice to be done both the railroads and the people. ■ and if that did not satisfy his people, he would be content for them to leave him j at home. Senator White, P., of Alexander, said: ! “I do not want the issues of the next l campaign iu North Carolina to turn } upon the shipmeut of huckleberries in j - Sampson county. (Laughter ) Senator Herbert. P , of Clay, said the railroads fought his election hard, and i that he was under no obligation to cor ! porations of any kind, but was opposed |to making any law that would j unjustly discriminate against either cor ; porations or individuals. Ho was going to do what was right whether it was j popular or unpopular. Senator Fowler stated that he accept ed the amendment of Senator Cook. Senator Forbes, P., of Pitt said he was surprised at the course of Senator Cook j , as tht? Senator was one of the largest . j railroad magnates in the Btate, being a I stockholder in the road from Warrenton j to Warren Plains, three miles in length ( Laughter.) Senator Cook's amendment w is a lopt ed by a vote of 36 to 8. and ttie t»ill as amended passed its seeond reading. Ou motion of Senator Cook the rules were suspended and the bill placed upon Its thiol reading. It passed by a vote of 37 to 4. Leave of absence was granted Son atom Green of Halifax, Hoover of Wilson, ami Sigmon of Catawba. Senator Wall, R., of Davidson, was a?ided to the committee on insane aay l urns A resolution authorizing the Treasurer to pay W. G, Nqvirk #5.95 for a black board was atlopted.
