The Caucasian “Cuwed” Again. Mr. Ewart read fr >m the Caucasian \he following: “The long talked of combination of Democrats and Republicans whs effected yesterday, when the men of those par ties voted together to smother the inter est bill in the Committee on Judiciary ” “I had intended,” said Mr. E var , “to ri e yesterday to a question of personal privilege, but lietug assuit d by the editor of the Caucasian of a disclaimer thi*m>rniog, I delayed and And this morning the following : “We have lioentold that certain prom i lent Republicans have taken ex eptions to our editorial on the interest, bill m Tho Caucasian of yesterday. We are sure we furnished no grounds for such oxoeptions ’-‘The article complained of was writ ten before the caucus met, and whs in type before any action upon the interest bill was taken. “ understood that enough of our Republ c»n friends voted with the Dem norats to send the interest b 11 to a com aittee, the majority of which was un detstood to be hostile to it. We looked upon that action as being the defeat of the bill, and we said nothing in the prem ses that we do not believe to tie justified by the facts, as we understo *d t*i«m. We were careful to ex**ept from : our strictures all th we Rep tbli.-ans who i werefrieudly to the interest bi 1.” “Now, Mr. Speaker, thisia worse than the first editorial I want it unders’ood that I am not to be intimidated n *r bull doctal from doing ray duty by these p •nny-a-liuers and scribblers of the Cau oasian. “In mycounty, wehavecarried a debt of SIOO,OOO for nearly eight years, and we have been unable to borrow money for less thau seven percent. This bill would, therefore, work rum to my coun ty ami I propose to stand by my peop’e I am opposed to this legislature acting un’er the whip and spur of caucuses urging hasty passage of bills. Am 1 to stai d here covered with letters anti telegrams from mv constituents asking my influence against this bll so ru nous to their interests and ho driven to vote for its Ain 1 to be intim Mated by such brutal critiism? 1 want the*editors of the Caucasian, no matter how high or low they may tie. to know th*t l inteud to do my duty to my people, lama North Carolinian, fir-t, ami a Republican afterward, and 1 am not going to Ih» deterred from doing my duty by these brutal expressions in the Caucasian.” ‘•No Whip on my Back?” Mr. Campbell, of Cherokee, a’so, rose to a question of privilege, and gaid, “More the edi or of the Oaucasiau was born, l was in business, and I think 1 understand more than the editor of that paper about 4 nance. I don't intend for any man to put the whip ou my back and make me Sdo what I think is not right. A man ; should represent his constituents unless j they are crazy when he should vote on his own judgment. Mr. La-k took the floor and said “I did not intend when I came to thi.- legislature to take any notice of any ) strictures in the public press that wen' from a pers mal standpoint. But when ; 1 am assailed in any official capacity, i tlmn I feel called upon to make reply, j Were it. not for the statement that th** j i Judiciary Committee had determined j to smother the six per cent bill, I should i not rise now. That is a direct slur upon every raemberof the Judiciary Committee j “I accepted the honor of the chairman : of the Judiciary Committee with the mental reservation that I would eon-ct entiously discharge the duties of my of ficc, and this attack coming from the Caucasian is an unmerited and unjust onslaught upon an honest committee sfriv ing at all times to do an hon*st duty Ttiis morning, it occurred to me that the attack was a wilful one. Ap* r-onal vindication must come for the chairman of the committee and for the other mem bers as well. “I Hurl it Rack,” Said Lusk. “Now listen, and I w 11 was referred to the Judi ciary Committee, and More it reached |us iu tho regular routine <>» business, tit’s editorial was written and published to th * world I that we had smother*d it When this editorial was written—l appeal to the | committee —this bill was not bcfoie the ! committee at all. Within ten minutes after i’s arriv d a motion was made t * | report the bill favorably, and tho g-nt lo nian who made the motion then aud there moved the previous question also, in or- • dor to cut off all debate. Ihe Judicial y i committee is comnosedof intelligent and i hom st men. and I agre*-d with them that we sh uld at least see the i' i-i !•* of th*' bill before passing it. The consideration of the bill was. therefore, continued tin til Ft idav. and the editor of the Caucasian know, before that editorial was pub -1 shed, that the edict had gone f'*rth frim this committee that this bill must j be reported, and then he penned that ar j ticle charging the members of the com mittee with crime, and I hurl it bank in I his face with all the vengeance that in spired it. (Applau-e) Mr. Burnham referred to his vote of ave yesterday and referred to Mr R*v‘s statement that, he(Rav) wanted to kill the bid. (Mr. Ray interrupted to say that Mr. Burnham voted before he spoke vester da*) Mr. Burnham denied tins and Mr Ray said that he spoke for himself and not for t’*e committee. Mr Burn ham said he b**lieved »hat. Mr Ray in terrupted again. Mr Burnham: “I have the fl or” Mr Rav: (sarcastically ) 1 I know you have.” Mr Burnham said the editorial tn the Caucasian he condemned and it, should be condemned by the whole House Mr. Smith, of Gates, moved a recon- ! sideration of the vote bv which yester | day the bill was ordered from the o**m j mittee, and sp *ke to the utori >n, saying that this was the onlv way for the House to signify that no r* fl *ction was made upon the committee. (Mr. Smith had voted yesterday aye witn the maj >rity). Mr. Lmenack disciaime 1, »»s a member of the committee, any desire for delay by any member Mr. Line’»ack gave a history of the commdtee’s vetion last Tuesday afternoon and h w a neeting had been s*>t, for trial scion for Friday becauso Mr E vart was una voidat ly absent. Mr. Henderson said in the committee the vote stood 9 to 10 in favor of delay Ev**ry Populist ami Republican voted for immediate consideration Mr, Hen lerson. questioned by Mr. Lusk, said he did not yesterday like the delay and did n *t think it was right Mr. Rty asked Mr Henderson if he did not say yesterday that Jesus Christ could nor get along with the lawyers. Mr Henderson: “Yes sir!'* Mr. Ray; “Jesus Christ could get . along with lawyers ivetter than he could ■ with hyp'w*rit*s, (pointing his finger at j Mr He> derson ) Mr. Henderson; I I »m c nsc edi ms Mr. Ray: Did you J vote to rei»ort the bill wit tout p » jinnee j or without action ? Mr Header-on : ! “I voted to report it so that the House ; could take action on it. To those *ho accuse us of meaning a reflection i on them, I hurl it back.” Mr. Petree (who voted aye yesterd*y) said for that very reason he f-b eg gri* v- dby theeditori*l in theCaucasi «u ; It was not only u just but ungentlemanly. ! Moreover, it struck the wrong keynote \ If the Caucasian thtuks it can make the wes’ern R**pnblicans bow to irs foot stool by any such methods, it is mistaken in the boys. Bagwell Well Bagged. Mr, Bagw. 11 said if wis strtngethat such men as had spok«n, who could stand anything, should take offence at this action of the instru *tion by the j H *UB6. and the obj ct was to kill the bill, as stated by Mr Rty. Mr Rav ask»d to j interrupt Mr. B*gwell yielded fra question. Mr Ray denied the statement | of Mr Bagwell and said no sensible man could put such a construction on what he said. Mr. Turner said Mr. ! Ray had interrupted only for a question and was out of oid*r. Mr j Btgwell said if th's bill was n<»t passed j the two important measures f>r which' they wete pledged to the people would not pass Mr Ewart coming quickly t«» ; his feet, asked with some feeling: “Do j you mean to say that if this six p*r cent. ! luferest bill is not passed we will not have the county government bill and the new election law bill?” Mr. Big well: “Unless this bill is passed there will be no passage of the election law or county government bills ” Mr. Ewart | smi'ed audibly and derisively ) Mr Turner, of Mitchell, wa* not here J to be dictated to. but to do the greatest i good to the greatest Mr Tur ner s*id that Mr Rav had said that he wished the bill to -Wp the sl**eotha' kuew no waking, and to avoid that sleep he had voted to take i* from the <•. m mitt'a*, and hut for that s’atement of Mr. Ray he would have vobd to te tefer; for he had taken his r* marks as an index of feeling rather than as an exoep'i«*n ; Mr. White, of Bladen, said the com mittee had never shown any disposition to smother any bill, a n d any thr>-at that other legislation wouM not pass would fall still-boru on this committee. (Ap ptatise.) Mr. Turner, of Mitchell, a-k d Mr. The News and Observer, Friday, February 15, 1805. White if he included him. Mr. White said he meant Mr. Bagwell, who stated that the County Government Btll and the Election Bill would not nass unless the six per cent bdl passed. Mr. B*g well interrupted but Mr White would yield only for a question. Mr. Mitchell asked had we not pro nised to pass this : m a-ure “Yes," said Mr. White, “but we did not promise to do so to-day. We are not on Russ an soil and are not here to do the bidding of any self con stituted Czar (Applause.) (Mr. White voted aye Wednesday ) Mr. French : I am glad to disclose some caucus secrets. (Laughter) In the caucus in this hall, it was decided to pass the bill before that article was writ ten. Mr. Lusk asked was not one of the editors of the Caucasian present in the caucus when that measure wasdiscu-sed, I and was he not cognizant of it ? Mr French : “Yes, sir !” Mr Williams, of I Craven: Was the caucus called toeonridtr the 6 per cent, bill?” Mr. French: “No, sir.” Mr. Williams: “Then, how would it be binding?" Mr French: “Don’t push me too close; (laughter) but 1 will say that the subject was ap proached with undue haste, and I shall Vote for the proposition of the gentle man from Gates, to reconsider.” f* ot Roi of Cox. Mr Cox. of Pitt, said these attacks upon the Republicans have come from an outside source. We appr* ciate the advice of the editor of the Caucasian, but we resent his dictation, and 1 denounce as false, any statement from h mihat I have affiliated with the Democrats. The gentleman from Wake (Mr. Bagwell) had said that no legislation would be passed unless | this was first done, then by saving that for the sake of saving to the peop'e #3 on the SIOO in interest, he would keep upon this people its present ii iquitoua system of county government. Mr Bagwell said that he meant that if it tooK forty days to carry through this 6 per cent bill it would take one hundred and sixty to pass the county government bill and the election law. Mr. Cox referred to Mr. Bagwell’s an swer to Mr. Ewart and finally, with re luctance on his part and expostulation from Mr. Bagwell, accepted his explana non, closing his remarks with an appeal for res’srance against any outside dicta tion to the Republicans of this House. Mr. Young wanted the whole motion as passed expunged trom the record. A majority of four or five of the com mittee was in favor of the six per cent, bill and it was impossible, therefore, for it to l>e smothered. We ought to reconsider the motion of instruction and expunge it trom the record Mr Smith called the previous question; Mr. P ebb s arose, but theprevi >us ques tion was put and called Mr Ewart ask'd what would be the status of th>* bill after the vote. Mr Smiih wished it re-referred to the committee, and so amended his original resolution for re consideration only. Mr Youn r then said he would oppose it. Mr. French said it was too late to put in an amend ment. to re-refer, which Mr. Smith fi nally withdrew. Mr French then said that the speaker after the vote would himself have to determine the status. Mr. Henderson asked would th’s, then, t*ko the bill from the H*>u-e. The Sneaker said he would rule in advance that the bill after the vote would be in the posses-ion of the House. Mr Self in explaiuiug his vote said that he thought the reflection was upon the Finance Committee, whose report was not accepted, in w hich Mr Hdeman agreed, and said he moved to instruct from an honest desire to get the ma'ter up promptly; that he had never before seen committees insulted at motions to instruct. Mr. Hunter’s Anatomy O. K. Mr Hunter said that, none of the pro jectiles of the Cane i?ion had found any part of his anatomy, “and if I were dis pos*d to be moved by any sinister mo tives 1 might tie tempted by such ar ticles as this to vote against the bill al together,” but as he was not influenced by such motives, he would vote for it becuse he thought it right. The vote was ayes 57, noes 39, and the bill was declared by the Speaker to ] be in the possession of the House Mr Hi eman moved the suspension of the rules, and that the bill lie put up in its readings. ‘ Out of order,”said the Speaker. Mr. French’s resolution of exoner ition of yesterday came up, but Mr Ray thought it unnecessary, and ■ th *t the vote just taken voic-d the atti- ! tude of the House toward the commit- : tee Mr. Freuch said he didn’t want his resolution put unless it. could be passed ! unanimously Mr. Williams, of Craven, j o jected. Then the resolution, on mo- j tn»u, was pur, and byViva voce vote de- ! el *red unanimously carried Mr. Hileman now moved suspension of the rules, aud ! the passa.-e of the bill. Mr. Williams or Craven objected, and Mr. Hi eman called the ayes and noes, with the fol lowing result: ayes 59, noes 45. Sixty one votes being necessary as a maj >rity j to suspe d the rules the motion was de- j c'ared lo*t. The Finance Committee Gel* the Ran. Mr. White whs summoned from the j galle r y and came down and voted no Mr Henderson moved reference of bid j to Finance committee and called for the ages and noes M- MeK* nzie was about to object, but Mr Ewait hoped h* would not a< <1 it was referred to the commitbe on Finance. Bill to incorporate the Southern Man ufacturing and Mutual Fire Insurance Company, passed 2nd and 8d readings. Mr. Peebles arose to retract any state ment he had ever made reflecting upon the company mentioned iu the above bill, referring to remarks made some time since. Bill to make 30th day of May a legal holiday (tabled); to amend the charter of the town of Jamesville, Martin county, passed second and thin! readings; to re p,a! the charter of Brunswick Bridge ami F«-rry Company, passed s*c«>nd and third readings; to prevent preferences by ins >lvent corporations (tabled); to in corporate the t urn of Guilford Col lege. second anti third red i' gs; io amend chart* r of Fayetteville Compress and Storage Co., pss-ed sec ond a"d third readings; to amend Sec tion 607 of the Code of Civil r xeedure, (referred to Judiciary Committee on motion of Mr. Lus L ); resolution to dis play the N tional tUg from the Capitol, passed second and third readings; to in- corporate the town of East Durham in Durham county, passed second reading; in regard to fishing in Howard Creek in Catawba county, passed second and third readings; to abolish the Inferior Courts of Swain county, pasmi second and third readings; to protect deer in Macon county, pass* d second and thirl readings with amendments adding j Cherokee.

Remnlns “Asks For More Sonp.” Bill to restore Mitchell count? to the 9th Congressional District. (Uufavora j bly reported). Mr. Ewart said thore must be some error about that, the re : port was favorable; so sai 1 Mr Hender son. Mr. Lusk, (in his seat), “No, fir!” Mr. H nderson asked who introduced the bill. The Clerk said Mr. Campbell. Mr Henderson now said he had reported that unfavorably. The bill was road, and amidst much contusion, Mr. Hen derson moved to table it; but Mr. Ewart was recognized, and asked for the read ing of the minority report, which was ordered. Mr Ewart, after the reading, was recognized and moved t’ie adoption of the minority report, and ad vocated the same, saying that Mitchell naturally belonged to the 9th District, from which it had been wrongly snateh ed, and it was simply the rignting of a j wrong to put it back m the 9th district. Mr. Turner, of Mitchell, spoke in favor of the minority rejairt. Mr. Turner | sjHike of Mitch* li as a blushing m tideu | who w«nt»d to give the Eighth district a parting kiss and go back home and rest iu the arms of th-* Ninth; that this mud bad been wrested from her mother's breast. Mr. McCall asked how many qualified voters there were in Mr Tur tier’s couuty. “About 2.300,” said Mr. | Turner. “Ho v many wild cats (laugh ter) are there?” asked Mr. Winborne. Mr Turner suggested Mr. Winborne as a f committee >f one to And out Mr. Lee asked how many majority Mr. Turner had in this county which be called the | “loyal**t of the loyal ” Mr. Turner | said there were not enough Democrats in Mitchell to keep guard ou w*t nights. (Laughter.) Turner’* “Rluwliing Maiden** Flsc**r. Mr. Henderson said he knew Mr. Tur ner came down here aga'nat detachment aud told a joke which he applied by sav ing that Mr Turner had “ge -ed” a ic tle since then. He asked had not the gentleman when he came here said that he would vote against the detachment. Mr Turner said personally he had been against it, but had received petitions aud was simply obeying his constituents Mr. Henderson handed around some of the petitions for inspection aud said that nearly all the names s'gued were in the same hand-writiug; that the gentle man wanted to fish in Mr. Linnev’s hole; that, as Mr. Linnoy had said, Mr. Pear son had run on all three tickets and left hair o t every side of the hole when he | went through. (Laughter). Mr. Linney j has not be* n here to be recognized in | this matter; he 1 as been to » decent to I come here to try to get Mitchell lopped ! off. Mr. Potrson is a’ high-t*»n would be elected. What did they do? D d they scruple to dismember the j Ninth Congressional District, and thusseeure the election of a Democrat! The Liking of Mitchell county f om the Ninth Congressional District was a stealing It is a political question yet Every Democrat on the committee voted j to keep the county in the Eighth district Mr Ray said Mr. Winborne and Sraitn, of Gates, did not vote for it. Mr, Smith siid he d d not vote at all. Mr. Hen derson ssked had not all the Populists voted for Mr. Lusk’s side. Mr. Lusk said yes, but they were all cit'zens of the Eighth. Mr. Henderson asked Mr. Lusk would he vote to transfer Yadkin to the Eighth. Mr. Ellis wanted to know : what Yadkin had to do with it. Mr R*y ; asked was it not claimed in the Ninth district by Mr. Smathers and ot* ers that' a Republican (not Mr. Pearson) i could have carried the distrio j by 2,500 majority, and if the facts brought up by the Republicans | did not prove “conclusively” that a Ro \ publican would have carried the dis trict by 2,500 majority Mr. Leak said “not conclusively.” Mr. Ray *aid he would withdraw “conclusively.” Mr. j Lu.-k did not reply.

By Senator Mt to the Senate unaocompauied by the original bill for wtiicli this was offered as a substitute by the House. Ou morion of Senator Herbert, bill to prevent trial of civil suits in Cherokee c unity during ft.-st week of court, ex oapt by eon-ent, was taken from the 1 1 "le. placed upon the calendar, and passed third reading ; Bill to ameud section 1, chapter 520. i Law’s of 1891 as to recovering damages from railroad companies for n*gl*-ct to promptly dispatch freight was returned from the House. Sena'or Fowler opposed concurrence in the House amendment. He referred to the possible results of Senator’s neg leeting to comply with tho will of their constituents Sena*or Herbert, of Clay, said then* was no reason for persecuting railroads; tnat, they had rights as much entitled to respect as individuals Ho said: “For God’s sake, let us treat them right, aud fair and equitable.” Seuator Starbuck said corporations had rights that ought not to be trampled upon, and vice ver.-a. Senator Candler said if the Senator from Sampson know the setr intent of the people of Jackson, he would like to know how he ascertained it. He said he whs getting tired of the habit the Senator fromStmpson had fulleu iut * of ex pressing seurimeubs of constituencies the sentiment of which he kucw nothing about. He sa d every Senator w»s presumed to know the sentiment of hi- district aud needed no information or suggestions on that point from other Senators, lies «id he was responsible for his vote ou all questions to his constituency. Sena’or Paddison m >ved nut to concur in the House substitute, aud sjx>ke iu i support of ids motion. Senator Fowler said the Senator from j Jackson represented a section (the West), which had imposed taxes ou the Sta'e to build railooads. He .-aid the j House substitute suited the railroads too well; it was just what they wauted. Seuator Sigmon said that for ten years prior to the 1 >st decade it bad been the j effort of legislatures ot the B'ate to build J railroads to develop the State. Now | he thought it looked like it was the ' object of Legislatures to destroy rail roads. He opposed the original bill and ; he would oppose the substitute He wanted railroads to have their rights, as . well as individuals. Senator Cook, of Warren, opposed the substitute and said it was wrong in principle to require adofendant to pay tl e plaintiff’s attorney fees He said the bill might prevent compromises, by cans ing some a torneys to advise against com promise and for bringing suit in order th *t fees might be secured. He said the legal profession did not want such a j measure enacted. He thought the origi u 1 bill was ample aud just iu its provis ions Senator Candler called for the pre vious question. The call was sustained Senator Fowler called for the ayes aud j noes. The call was sustained. The Senate refused to concur in the amendmeut by a vote of 34 to 0. Messrs. Candler, Hamrick, Herbert, Mo *dy of Haywood, Westmoreland, aud W'dteof Alamance, were the six who vot**d for the bill. Senator Moody, of Haywood, asked that Senator Rice be r*quired to vote, j Senator Ricesa’d: “Record me as voting j oppo-ite to the way the Senator from Havwood voted.” (Laughter). Senator Hamrick moved that a reso- « luri-m be sent to the House asking that j a conference committee lie appointed to ; further consider the bill. Carried By unanimous consent the foliowring : bills were introduced: By Senator -riarbuck, R., of Guilford, bill to extend the t me of beginning work on the Greensboro aud Norfolk Midland Railroad. Bv Senator Forbes, P., of Pitt, bid to ; nrev* nt fi-hing with Dutch nets in Pam iieo river; bill to protect forests of North Carolina; bill to create * flic > of lumber inspector and provide ft r th* .ippant t alendar lt*-»umf*l. Resolution to appoint a , jot t commit tee to select persons to fill vacattewa on the State Board of Agriculture was adopted. Bill to require educat ion of nil blind children of the St.ve was called up. Senator Candler said lie op(>oscd the bul because it would increase expenses. He suspected there might be some job bery in it. Senator White, of Alexander, said he would not vote to tear blind ehildren from their mothers. He did not Gunk it right Senator Ham nek said that it was bad enough for people who can see to grow up in ignorance, but it was worse for blind people to do so. He thought «alu catioti of the blind ought to t*e com pulsory. S*uiator Hootfer said the law pr*>trnl«'*l for all children to In* educat'd whose parents would send them to the blind institution. Senator Paddison said it was false effect ion on tho part of parents to ob j**ot to sending their childien to this ius j titution. Senator Fowler said he agreed with the Senator from Pender that it waz false aff«?ction that prev*nte«l the edu cation of blind children He thou ght only ignorant parents objected t«> send ing th**ir blind children to th*< Blind In stitution, and the State ought to take the matter in hand. H>‘ sa d he knew grown blind men who were uneducated ami utterly helpless. They would in ! time become public charges, which they would not do if educated. Mr. Candler moved to lav the bill on the table. The bill tabled Bill preventing sale of a'liberated or impure kerosene, coal or o' her illu minating oils in the State, imposing a fine of not less than SIOO nor ncre than SSOO, for each offence, was called up. The bill was re referred to the commit tee for amendmeut. Joint resolution authorizing the ap pointment of a joint committee to nomi nate persons to fill three vacancies on 1 the Board of Trustees of the A. A M. College for the colored race at Greens boro. was adopted. Bill to transfer Mitchell county front the Eighth to the Ninth Congressional District came tip. It was reported favor ably by a majority of the committee. A minority report was read, opposing the change on tho ground that redis* trusting is legal only at the session of the General Assembly following the taking of the Federal census. Senator Fortune moved that the bill b# postponed until to-day. Senator Candler asked that there be no further delay as there was no objec tion to its passage. Senator White, of Alexander, said there was serious objection to passing the bdl; that there whs no precedent for redistricting at this time, and under the ! Consti ution Tie doubted the validity of future elections held in either the Eighth >r the Ninth District if the transfer was made at this time. He wanted it to lie over until to day, as Mi'cbell county would be in the same place as it now is.
