Mr. Smith, of Gates, arose to ask for i's reading, but was de clartxi out of order by the Speaker. Mr. Turner, of Mitchell, moved that the reading of the bill bo dispensed with. Mr. E vart hoped the motion would not prevail, as the consti utional provision ■pon this point was plain, specially as to kills levying taxes. Mr. Ewart was not certain but that the reading of the tiMe the first and second times was sufficient, but he was sure that the third reading was necessary. Mr Turn-r’s motion was put and lost, and the bill was read Pa)>ie and Carlyle Retire. During the reading of the bill Mr. McClammy called attention to the spe cial order set for 11 o’clock, namely the report on the contested election case of Worm* nt and Smith vs. Payne and Car »jr»e, of Robeson. The report handed in by Mr MuClammy was unanimous in favor of the contestants who submitted a letter giving up the contest Ihe re port on the motion of Mr Lusk was adopted, and tlieu Messrs. Normeut and Smith after awhile came up and were •worn. During the lull Mr Young said that the spectacle of a Democ at giving ■p a tight *as so rare that the con test cats perhaps had not put iu their ap pcarance (laughter) The reading of the Elizabeth City Charter Bill was resumed, when Mr Tamer, of Mitchell, arose to read the constitution in support of a protest against the reading of the bill Mr l«art said that the bill had never been nmd the first ti*n*», and Mr. Pool said “lc( the b-ll be read 1” During some bub bub, Mr Ewart rose to a p >int of arder that quiet be restored in order that the gentleman from Gates might hear the reading of the bill. (Laughter). Mr. Smith interrupted the reading of tbe bill to say that the object of his rising earlier, when he was ruled out of order >7 the Speaker, was to give some information based upon letters he bad woe red in which it was repr sentedthat tbereped of the charter might affect the collection of d *b's due to certain citiaens from the old corporation Mr. Ewart asked iu what way would would this happen. Mr. Smith said he was not prepared for a legal argument, but msde the statement simply iu dis charge of his duty. Mr Pool said that tbe bill provided for the payment by the dd corporation of all just debts, and the roll was called with the following vote : Ay»*s, 66; nos, 24 By unanimous consent. Mr Lineback introduced the following resolution: to appoint a joint. commit t*e to make n< mi nations to fi 1 vacancies now existing on the Board < f Trustees of the A and M. College for the white race: erf. That a committee of five, three on the part of the House and two #f the Senate, be appointed to make n<>m inations to fill vacancies now existing on the B<»arioners may submit to the people of the counties *>f Jackson, Swain. Clay, Graham and Macon, ib** guest ion of* w het her they will have stock law or no stock law on petition of am» |ority of r gisterd voters instead of one- fifth of the registered voters as at pres ent provided Mr. Ray said this would hurt notwdy and the people in the sec tion stated wanted this. Mr. Cox sent up an amendment inserting after “reg istered voters,” “who are land owners. ” Mr. McKenzie thought this class discrimi nation for suffrage was unconstitutional in which Mr. Lusk concurred. Mr. Cox's amendment was lost, and Mr Campbell now amended hy including Cherokee. Mr. Ray said he would ac cept this. Adopted. Amendment were made to add Cumberland. Mr Render son hoped these amendments would cease; if not they would load up the bill so as to kill it, If other gentlemen wanted a law, let them draw their bills Mr Lusk was of the same opinion. The Cumberland amendment was lost, and Mr. Ray’s bill pissed second and third r adings and was sent to the Senate for concurrence. Mr. Lineback’s resolution above stated was taken up aud passed second and third readings. Mr. Young sent up a resolution, which was adopted. The resolu tion of Mr Young was the same as that of Mr. Lineback except that Mr. Young's applied to the Agricultural and Mechan ical College for the colored race. Bill to amend section 1799 of the Code, fees for execution of instruments under section 1799 shall be 50 cents and tor probating such instruments 10 cents Mr. Young said the effect of this bill would close up every registrar’s office in the State, and moved to table it, which was adopted. Mr. Campbell rose to the point of orper that Mr. Lineback, Mr Cox and Mr. French were out of their proper places on the floor. (Laughter.) 5 B 124, to repeal chapter 482, laws 1893, passed second and third readings The Six Per Cent. Bill. Bill to restore six per cent, as the le gal rate of interest in North Carolina. Mr. Ewait said that no report had been made from the Judicia ry Committee to which it was referred, and until that committee acted upon it, this House could not act upon it. Mr. Young said that somehow it bad come before the finance committee, and they had reported it favor *bly. Mr. Hile m m *aid,that the bill had fi-st been]re-fer red to iho Finance Committee and 200 copies were ordered printed and it was then re referred to the Finance Commit tee A few days after that, Mr. Ewart the reference of the “printed’ bill to the Judiciary Committee; the bill itself had already tieen referred to the Finance Committee two days before. M'*. Youngsa'd it was understood by some of the FinanceComruittee that the bill had been referred to the Jud ciary aud that, it had c *me to us from that committee, that there were many points in it which could tie settled only by the Judiciary committee, and he thought that was the place for it. The St>eaker had the en dorsements on the bill read. Mr Bagwell eou d see plainly between iho lines what all this meant, that Mr. Ewart had call ed tor the re-reference of this bill by number, and no oue knew what it was about Mr Bagwell was called to order bv the Speaker who said that the bill was upon its second reading. Mr Hileman h >ped Mr. Ewart would withdraw his ob jection, but Mr. Ewart thought ihe house should proceed with regularity, ebe there would lie confusion worse con founded. Mr. Bagwell had stated that he knew what the bill was; he was sorry that it was usual thus to call tip bills hy uumbers. There should be no objection to the consideration of this by the Judiciary Coram ttee so as to he certain that it should become law, and could stand the te-ts of the courts. Mr. Lu*k spoke sus taining the statements made by Mr. Ewart, and he was certain of what he said. Mr. Hileman repeated his point t hat Mr. E vart had simply asked for the reference of the “printed” bill to the Judiciary Committee, without having had it taken from the Finance Committee, to which it had been re ferred. Hileman Tackles Ewart. Mr. Mitchell moved thrt the bill be withdrawn from the Judiciary Committee. This drew out several sug gestions, among which was that of v*r. Young that the members t'ad not seen the printed bills, and wanted time to consider it, aud the motion was put and lost by a vote of 49 to 40. Mr. Robin sou moved reference to Judiciary Com mittee, but Mr. Lusk sai l the last vote carried such reference, which position was urged by Mr Ewart also. Mr. Ray moved re-reference to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Hileman said that it had uever been betore the Judiciary committee, and moved that it now be put upon its several readings. Mr. Ray moved that the bill be now refeired to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. H leman said this question hid been before the people since 1881. This motion was in tended only to delay. Mr. McClammy rose to the point of order that the motion »o refer was before the House, and Mr Hilemau was o|**ning up the merits of toe bill. Point of otder not sustained. Mr Turner, of Mitchell, agreed * ith Mr Htlemtu that we were fully prepared to vote upon tie bill now, and that this movement was for dday, aud that the bold yen manrv of this State had come here for tnis measure as against the classes. “The Knit* of Shy lock.” He knew something of Shy lock and the pound * f flesh, and wanted the knife taken from tbe baud of Shy lock. He wanted to aid in taking the knife from the hand of Shy lock, and if he failed to v *te for this, he w mid not only be vot ing for keeping 'he knife in the hand of Shylock, but in favor of whetting it until it was as sharp as a razor. Mr Y< u g said that the bill had yesterdav been considered only for 2fr hours and suffi.-ient consideration h*d u*>t been given. Tbe ptople thought that, every 6 per cent bill wan for the people. It was admitted yesterday by ge ulemen that the jwtssage of this bill would draw api'al from the State, outside capital upon which were dependeut. much of our cotton aud tobacco aud banking inter ests Mr. Flack th-uight this would -a use Shyl aks to invent his caoi'al here Thio hi 1 had been lying h* re rcsti'g, ivstii g. and this was the day of ivsur r»o'i< u. Mr. Hileman called tbe pre vious question o i the mo'ion to refer. Mr. Ray said he made that motion. and he d d not kn< w what right Mr. Hilemau had to ca'l »he previous question. The motion to refer The News and Observer, Wednesday, February 13, 1895. was put and won by the following vote: Ayes 44, noea 38 (applause). Bill to prevent discrimination by rail roads, etc., and the issuance of free passes Tabled To authorize the Secretary of State to furnish the county of Pender certain books not heretofore furnished it. passed second reading; to extend the time of beginning work by the Oape Fear aud Northern railroad. f**r the extension of the charter for two years, passed second and third readings; to fix the maximum schedule of tobacco warehouse charges Was passed over informally; to amend charter of Tuckakes county, passed second and third readings; for rel es of J.

Gaddy, of Anson county, passed second aud third readings; to regulate the Superior Courts of Hand >lph county, to have three terms of court instead of t vo, passed see-»nd and third readings. Guarantee Company Bonds Valid. In relation to the giving of bonds in guaran f ee companies, such bonds to lie accepted for clerk, sheriff aud treasurer by the county com missioners. Such bonds, said Mr. Ewart, were taken by banks and other corpora tions; iu fact, such bonds were demand ed. The object of this law is to c impel county commissioners to take their bonds, which he thought in some instances they had refused to do. Mr. Smith of Gates, did net like the word ‘‘compel” in the face of the “discretionary” power given to county commissioners. Mr. French said the mandatory feature would relieve De cora missioners of responsibility. Mr. Smith said the power did not lie to tell the commissioners “how they shou’d ex ercise their discretion.” These coropa nies were inter-state, and this bill forced the commissioners to take a bond from a bondsman upon whom they could get no judicial process without confusion and uncertainty, for these companies were out of reach of our own courts. The bondsmen should be such as to be reached by our own sheriffs. Mr. Alex under, of Tyrrell, asked had uot the leg Mature of 1891 passed such a law. Mr Smith: “Did that law compel com missioners to do it?” and pressed the question. “Authorized them to do it,” said Mr. Alexander. According to the arrangement, it was w 11 known that officers could not get bondsmen except from tho-e of the same political faith, and in some cases the poverty of the can didate elected worked great hardship. Mr. Ewart thought that the State was sufficiently protected by legal provisions of the actß 1891, and cited his authori ties, naming SIO,OOO as the deposit re quired from these companies. Mr. Smith did not think this sufficient. A SIO,OOO Deposit Only. Mr. Ray thought the deposit of slo,ooo too small. Some of the smallest counties would exhaust that amount. We don’t know that they have any money except the SIO,OOO, aud we don’t know that they are liable beyond the SIO,OOO. D * you call that safe? We already have all the law on this subject we want. There were exchanges bet ween vi * ssrs. Ewart, Ray and Rut herford,and the previous question whs called by Mr. E vart, Mr. Smi h calling for the a\es and noes. The bill; passed its second read ng by a vote of 43 t • 31 Mr McKenzie asked Mr Ellis, who voted aye, was he not paired with Mr Julian on p< litical questions Mr. E iis, Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Royal» ABSOLUTELY PURE asked was this politics; if ®o, be would withdraw his vote. "It has taken a political shoot," said Mr. McK nxie. At 2:12, the house adjourned to meet this morning, at 10 o’clock. REM iTE. The Senate was called to order at 11 j o’clock yesterday by Lieut Governor Doughton. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. N.

Senator Lindsay, of Rockiugharn, arose to a question of personal privilege in re | gard io criticisms of the press upon his ! bill to abolish Thanksgiving Day. Ho j said: “I have delayed some time to take no j tice of the lal>e aud malignant misrep resentations of a portion of the Demo I cratio press concerning myself, acting on ■the grounds that the slander of some men is high praise, and that without falsehood ana misrepresentation some ' j mrnals would not be themselves. lam i sorry to state to this Senate that the ; most vile among those editors misrepre senting my bill to their readers were either ex-ministers of the gospel, or pro fessed church members- —tbe Wilmington Messeug r, the Charlotte Observer and the Western Sentinel. These facts only tend to prove to what a low d pth of degradation partisan politics, us’ng de ception aud crime to further its ends, cm bring a man. We do not spurn the I time si rvers editing this * sheets half so j much as we pity their readers, who are stuffed with their political poisons till the moral sens • becomes extii ct. It is well known to this Senate that my bill did not abrogate all thanksgiv ing, but enlarged the daties to that of prayer aud thanksgiving—prayer to avert tbe evils of tyrannical law and to give thanks for the quantum < f blessings we may enjoy.
