Norfolk and Charleston R. R Winborne opposed the bill, saying that his county alone had lost some SB,OOO by the bad faith of the company—that a man Killian bad worked the deal—a consummate scoundrel and rascal—that several years ago the charter had been grauud and nothing had been done the bill win tabled on motion of Win horae. Duffy being in favor of the ex tension, and Cox vot ng alone no on the motion to table as he Wanted to hear it read. The County Coyermnent HUE Mr. French called up the County Gov ernment 1 B 11 and said he wodd call the previous question at 12:30 (11 2 hours; if there’ iere amendments, but he wished to say decidedly that there would be no amendments passed, that the bill would be pas ed exactly as if was. Ray th >ughr it would take two h mrs to i-h >w up the beaut ies of the bill, which time Fr- rich edn ced d asking Smith of Gves, how much time he would want (laughter) and ■Smith rising, French said, •‘Shake not thy auburn . locks at me” (la ighter). Smith wanted.twenty minu e , which he decreased to fifteen. R*y took the 11 >or and began the de bate.* Ray said that the Funionists ad mitted their cowardice in discussion o* the bill in saying that they would not cross a “t” or dot an **i,” that they had taken awav from the people eve’-y safe guard in the levying of taxes. In one aeo’ion you had provided for an endle-s •onfusion and row which will spring a disturbance and devilment all over the country A Judge is called upon to ap point t*9 men to thwart all the measures 1 that the Commissioners may think whole some f>r the county—thus saying that the people who elect these Commissioners hadn’t seuse to know who or what they wau't for their conuty. Ray took up the bill reading a portion of section 3 —the proviso—which Ray said would be a laughing stock to all m*n who knew law. Ray sneered, at the tide “for the people ” Brown said it took three weeks to get the name. Rty said when the people get on their war-painr he weuid wish they had taken three months, Mutt the bill was a pi*cs of weak kneed cowardice. Speaking of the magis tratea and the books furnished them, Ray said it would cost the people hun dred* of thousands of dollars; take away the title and nothing was left; if you were afraid to trust the people with *he ©lee ion of Commissioners why did’nt ywn say so instead of taking away flieir powers under a tittle to restore food government to the people. R*y ©aid this Legislature bad been a failure—had done uothing despite all its Iromises Ray said he w*s so uuwell that e could hardly stand up, and only male ike attempt to speak in obedience to his duty, but he spoke at moments with his wsual fire, his flings of sarcasm being Always artistically handled Ray was folio wet 1 by Monroe, who v©ad iiis speech, carefully pr pared. In the midst of Monroe’s speech, "William*, of Craven, interrupt'd him to move that to save time the speech he printed. The suggestion •eemed to be Coldly received by the mem bers, and Monroe proceeded. Monroe asked wa* this bill suited to the genius ♦fourpeople. He trowed not. Tpere ware many fine passages in Monroe's speech, c’os ng with an imploring appeal that the bill do not pass. Wiaborue’a V?in;*d Word*. Winborne was against putting an un tried and undemocratic principle at work AOi#ng our people in the place of one that had prevailed in all its Saxon spirit among freeman for 118 years, until in 1868, under the Canby Constitution, these liberties were taken away—under that law it proved to be a prolific source #f woe to twenty-seven counties ♦f this Stale—the credit of the toanties was destroyed, and it was not until 1876 that we weie rescued Then the people of North Carolina h ar ing the csicsof helpof the.s>* tweiry-s veu ©ountics came to the rescue re establish ed our present county government ai d thus rest -red pur credit. Mr. W>nb m , cited figures to show the difference be tween the two system* I s the lit -t three years there were saved »o these "twenty seven counties $314,500; •60 of debts contracted by the old rot ten county system were paid off thus really thawing a saving by the present system for three years in twenty seven of nearly $600,000. Mr. ' ui oorue hoped the Fusimiisfs would it fleet > b fore inflicting this bill upon the P 1 p’e of the Eastern counties. 110 knew it ’ cmid not be their desire to do them in justice, and he hoped they would pause j T te probability of the pas-ingot bus bill > t new a dark cl >ud over the Eastern* counties, but be hopfcd the unui j w,;. - e helping now to pass this bill would : re;nrn to us ahd help to save us. j(M in* i>)ine was here evidently re.eriip.g t » | the Populists, and s m • members pri< ked ; up their ears at this rather unlocked for j appeal) Winborne appealed to the spirit of those who loved the South. It they wished to hear from those four Angels who guard ihe corners of the earth the notes of the anthem Peace on Earth, Good will to Men, they would vote against this bill as an innovation upon what had been ; proved to be the best system of county , government for our people. Mr. Win borne delivered his speech in good spirit, and he was attentively listened to all over the house from beginning to end. Stevens dealt with political dangers in i the logical supremacy, c msequent upon this bill, which would come to the negroes in the counties in which they had a raa jority, and during his remarks said that Mr. Lusk had much in his charges of partisanship which was in common with the name of his county. (Buncombe) j Stevens read the following editorial from the Caucasian of two years ago: “We are in favor of the present sys tem of county government, as long as there is a single county saved by it from African and Scalawag rule. We will forever preach that this is a Caucasian government, founded by the courage, framed by the wisdom, and won by the Euriotisra of white men, and for the mefit of all eitizms all alike. T'»ere fore, it is rtght, ought to be, aud must be managed by the white men ouly.” Peebles introduced an amendment on which were called the ayes and noes and said, “I dare them not to accept it.” This is the amendment: “Strike out at the end of Seotiou 3 'that the judgment of the Superior Court shall be final.’ ” The amendment was lost, by a vote of 36 to 68 Smith, of Stanly, offered aud amend ment to strike out all of Sectiou 1, which section takes away the power given to the justices of the peace by Chapter 17 of tne present law. This stripping of the Justices of their power was a step toward centralization, said Mr. Smith, who dwelt further upon the autocratic power given to the Clerk of the Superior Court; moreover that the Populists admitted their ineompe tence to rule in having two men from the opposing party apoointed, and that at the behest of 200 voters; then, that it, would take four to act, thus eeuteri> g the real pivotal power of the whole eoun ty m that o'her one man. Wuo were better prepared to deal with county as fairs than three meu at the county seat aided by magistrates from ail over the county. Mr. Smith characterized oilL, in closing, as a wolf in sheep's clothing, as a waited sepulchre, rotten to th** care and full of dead mm’s bones. Mr. Smbh’s amendment was now put, Rsy calliDg for the ayes and nines, and lost by a vote of 70 to 34. William* Moves to Expel Ray. Ur. Ray sent up an am sod meat to leave the election of Justices of th.- Peace to the people. Mr. Ewart rose to a point of order, that, this had been covered in the election law passed by the Senate (ruled not well taken by the Speak-r) Ur. Ray said he wouldn’t promise how he would vote; he had made no promise* on this point, but as Ur. Ewart had promised to let tne people elect their magistrates he knew he would keep his promise (laughter) and he was sure that Mr. Lusk would vote for it as he had promised to do. Burnham and Crumel said they had promised to let the people el -ct their magistrates aud therefore voted aye. Flack said he did not think Ray’s amendment was in good faith aud therefore he voted no. Ewart aud French and Johnson said that other opportunities would be given to vote on this point and therefore voted no. Norment wishing to encourage the Democrats in voting for what was right he voted aye. Messrs. Petree and Phillips, of Pitt, said that Rsy was not in good faith aud Pe r ree stid he would have another opportunity. Both voted no and Self for the same reasons as atatvd by him. White realized the fact that the amen iui-nt would be lost anyway and that his vote would save him trouble in explaining in the next cam paign, he voted aye. Williams, of Cra ven, said as Ray h»d lost his hold as a leader and was not in good faith tie vot< d no. Young said he would have another opportunity to vote aye and therefore uow voted no. Ban attacked Kay’s bad faith. Ray said he didn’t see how if Bean could find unction in his b*d faith Beau’s people oould in beholding his repudiation of his promises. Ray said, “stand to the rack”—that the sub statute referred to tle make-shift which the Pusiouis’s pretended gave to tke people the right to elect their magis trat«B. Ray Plays lu Comedy. Mr. Ray gat down without vo ting and a dramatic scene followed, cads being made ou Ray to vote—R.xv not at all flustered Wliliam* of Craven, moved that Ray be expelled from the House uuleias he voted Several mem bors arose-some laughing, Mine seem ; ingly indignant at Ray R*y uudig turned—saying that be was out in the hall, aud thought, be should be excused. Ewart shouted to the Speaker that Ray’s talking wasout<>f ord r, aud that he be required to vote. The Bpe..k*r | rea lßue2s on the point. Th>*re was | tenseness in the faces of ail and awaiting ! suspense as to how Ray would vote. S Ray said he had n® objection to voting, (smiling all the while). Lusk said Ray had called the ayes hu 1 u *>s. Tne house still waited —Williams repeated his m tion.of expulsion -the Speaker seemed : embarrassed and Ewart was sharp in his | rcitcra'ed demand foravutefrom Ray. l ln iho midst of the scene growing m -re : and m jre stoafued and resiles and un certain, Rav said rising vciy quietly, that he would vote “no” in th • tpidrt ol laughter all ov-.-r gs’leri s (whit* i- were thud wßhdadi s) and too flouse, which cputiuiii-d for some moments, and the wb 1,4 matter, Covering nine minutes, by ! the clock had been one of com - m uff The News and Observer, Wednesday, Harch 6, 1H95. coupled apparently wfith other feel it y y also,on the part of some of the niembers.

Campbell, in explaining his vote, ud he was sorry that North Carolina had | such a bush whacker as the genfh man from Cherokee, (meaning Ray). (Laugh ter) Ray rose, as if in good humor, j and said he did not wish to be thus I characterized. The Bneaker said that Campbell had said “the gentleman of ; Cherokee” aud not the gentleman from Macon. Ray, not hearing the Speaker's in- I terpretation, flushed up, and in deter mined tone said Camp'iell, in having I used the language he did, had spoken as uo gentleman would speak. Campbell was red in the face and a’l over his bald head, and had been slinging his arras and speaking at the top of his voice, evi dently not having heard anything that had been said by cither the Speaker or Ray, and said that Ray had introduced his amendment in bad faith, voted.nd, and sat down in the midst of the disor der that had gathered. Mr. Ray didn’t think that any man with any ideas of what a gentleman should do could call him a bushwhacker and was apparently on the eve of denouncing Camp bell, saying that he was ignorant of how to address a gentleman when he was iu terrupted by Bryan, of Chatham, who *aid that Campbell had said “the grntle ! qaatk from Cherokee” was a bushwhack er—“that’s it was it!”—exclaimed Ray— I “well then I withdraw my rein irks” and | h pedtkegendemanfromOhemkeewould I bo G iveruor aud make him (Ray) his Private Secretary, (laughter), Rhv on rising had by agreement with French (as French' sta'ed) not to call ihe ayes and noes. been alio we 1 two minutes, and had -ent up the foilow ing amendment: “The said county com missioners shad give bond to lie approv 4d by the Cle kof the Cour conditioned that they will faith f ul!y perform their duty as said countv commissioners Said | b >nds shad be made payable to the Sta'e and in a sum of not h>-s than $7,000.’ | B >t.h this and an amendment to this amendment changing $3 000 **» $ 1,000 «>re voted dovn, E varr took the fl or f«»r five minutes with the consent of French, who gave not ice to the Speaker that he would then call the previous ; question.

Ewart continued ; for ten minutes, interrupted by Ray, who was cut short by Frrtich calling the previous question. Peebles called the | ayes and no©* on Ray’s amendment, but withdrew ou request of Kay, from his j seat who said they oould be called on the third reading. Then the bill passed second reading and French m ived su* pension of the rules to put the bill on its third reading, on which Peebles called the ayes aud noes, the vote resulting— ayes 30, noes 74 The rules were sus p tided and the bill was put upon its j third reading. Messrs. Ray, Smith of Gates.and French arose at once, Ray calling, Mr. Speaker, J Smith movi g that the bill be read, French demanding the previous ques j tion on the third reading, which was put ; in the eonfudon promptly by the Speaker 1 and carried by a viva voce vote. Ray called the aye* and noes and the County Go*ernraent Bill, without amendment, passed its third reading by a party vote of ayes 75, noes 33. Horrible Epithets V4ithdr>iwu. Mr. Smith, of GaUs, rose aud s*id ! that he had asked for the reading of the bill, aud wished the Clerk to note t e fact. “The Clerk will note no such thing,” said the Sjieaker, and he said that he had not recognized the gentle man from G*'-es, who now, rising to pet.-oual privilege, i-wid that Mr. Ewart had referred to fifl persoagl appearance, but that ho (Suiit-h) did uot waddle around like a little f*t hen (laughrer) Mr. Ewart dia.ilaiin*d, aud Smith sa d he took it. all in goisl humor.
