The Fasionists Acknowledge the Truth of the Protest, But Don’t Want it Placed on the Journal— French at His Old Game of Stealing m. Railroad—The A. and S. C. to be Under the Control ol One Man, But the S. C. Railroad Bill Tabled. The House mot yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, Speaker Walser in the chair. Prayer by Representative L. L. Smith, of Cleveland. Journal partially read and approved. Mr. Ewart attempted to introduce a bill ou amending the town charter of Salisbury, but was met with objections by McKenzie, and could uot effect it. Mr. Ewart said that it merely provided for a different mode of election without changing the wards. Bill to allow cock fighting in North Carolina. Norment fought for the bill, but Ewart saw horrible things in store tor a State that indulged in cock-fight ing. Ray said the law against cock fighting had been a dead letter. On motion of Mitchell, the bill was tabled by a vote of 44 to 14. Bill to take away the legislative pow ers from the Commissioners passed 2nd and third readings: favorable report ou sewerage compuiy for city of Wilming ton. Bill concerning the official bonds .of county officers. Peebles spoke against the bill pointing out the dangers of getting bonds fr >m outside surety companies. French said that the bill was duly guarded by the proviso that the officer should uot at one time have move than SSOO. Ray thought the bill totally unneces sary in view of the bill passed the other day to allow officers to be bonded in guarantee companies, which view of the subject Winborne accentuated, pointing out the practical dangers resultant in the counties from such a measure. Smith, of Gates, regarded this as a fi ink move ment; thought the question bad been sufficiently passed on in the Guarantee Company bill, and that now at this late day it was apparently a back handed movement, French pointed out what he deemed differences between this and the other bill and was followed by Waite. who saw nothing bad about the bill and believed it would be of ser vice in his county. Giving Bonds Made Ea^y, Mr. Winborne sent forward an amend ment excepting Hertford. Messrs Smiih and White got into a spat, White maintaining that the Demo crats always opposed laws when they were in fayor of Populists and Republi cans. Smith said if the present law worked hardships to Populists and Re publicans it was simply incidental. Messrs. Peebles and Ray gave notice of Amendments. They were sent*up, as follows, in cluding Currituck, Transylvania. Gates, Mecklenburg, Northampton. Lincoln, Martin, Halifax, Stanly, Haywood, Ons low, Jackson, Anson, Columbus, Hert ford, Rowan, and were about to be put when Robinson said that French had ac cepted the amendments, Norment said that this house could not be bound by any acceptance of French's. Young said the house wanted this bill. Ray asked did Young want to undertake to say that they wanted to specify the bonds of Macon county’s officers. The amendments were put and declar ed lost by a vote of 45 to 25. On Ray's amendment he called the ayes and uoes. The amendment requires a'deposit of SIO,OOO by the Surety com pany and its solvency to be passed upon by the Secretary of State. The amend ment was lost by a vote of 41 to 23. Smith of Stanly: I desire to vote aye. Ray called ou Bryan to vote. Bryan, eow did Ray vote? Ray, aye. Tben I vote no. Ray called on Self Self said he voted no because Ray voted aye Ray said all right, if that answer suited his constituents Winborne asked if Ray was ■ trying to kill the amendment Ray: “No simply trying to get the reformers on re cord ” Ray Pals the Reformers on Record. The bill was put on second reading on which the ayes and noes were called. Monroe was paired with Ewart and de clined to vote. The vote was 48 ayes, 27 noes. Mr. McKinney: “Mr. Speaker, I did not hear mv name called; I voted no." Mr French asked for the third read ing and said it would save one day. R*y said we would stay here until frost rather than do it. French asked for suspen non of the rules The clerk announced 61. At the request of Grizzard the Speaker said he would order a recount as he did not wi-h the correctness of any c»*nt to be questioned, and appointed Ellis and McKenzieaa tellers. McKenzie .said he could c >unt only 57, Ellis sud 50, and told the News and Ob-erver re porter that he thought he was right. The Speaker said the tellers could not agree when there were cries of “roll call,” “call the roll ” and the Speaker ordered the roll called with the follow ing result, ayes 64. noes 22, Ellis and McKenz e still remaining tellers. -‘lf it Taken all Summer,” Said Ray. Third reading was ordered on suspen sion, and the roll called with the follow ug result: Ayes 55, noes 26. Tellers Fowler and Mercer of the Sen ate and McOall and Burnham of the House made the following report on the etootion of Jus’ices of the Peace. Tota number of votes in the Senate 30; total dumber of votes in the House 74 Senate votes for the committee report 26,against 4; House votes for the committee report >4, against 20. The bill to give the pages $5 00 each was brought up by Burnham wno said it had been lost. Bagwell said he objected The Sp< •aker said the bill had been “stoleu” or “rather token” from the clerk’s 'room, and in such case.-, lie had favored letting bills have a fair show b« - 'fore the House, and the bill was laid %side to come u> Piter. Ravenous For Plunder. Bill to amend the charter of the At- lantic and North Carolina Railroad Com pany. , . Mr. Smith of (Jams said that such properties and interests as these should not be made foot-balls for political pur poses. Smith sent up an amendment, that it should not Ih* possible to sell or lease the road except with the consent of nine-tenths of the stockholders. Mr. Ray said this legislature promised to legislate for the people and he now said that not one single measure that had been passed here had risen above the dignity of a sleight-of-hand performance. Ray believed that every man m the House, including Populists, Republicans and Democrats, would agree with him in this. There had not been one change in the charter of this road since 1868, and any act passed here was nuga tory entailing expenses of thousands of dollars vainly spent. The courts had decided that this charter could not bo changed without the consent of the road, then iu pressing this bill, do you call it reform or what the people sent you here to do ? Ray sent amendment to strike out section 3 and insert that the directors shall be elected by the Leg islature iu the same way as the State proxy was elected to hold office until their successors should be elected and in ease of death or resig nation, vacancy to bo filled by the State proxy elected by the Legisla ture. Ray’s second amendment was to prevent lease or sale, except with con sent of 90 per cent, of the stockholders, which he afterward withdrew, as he said it was covered by Smith's amendment as given above. ! Mr. Monroe spoke with vigor against the bill and hoped it. would not be legis lated upon as if it were a political ques tion. Mr. Ray’s first amendment was first read. “ A Steal,” Said W illiuin*, of Craven. Williams said that this road had cost the State $3 000.000, his county $200,- 000 and he did not wish to entrust this power to one man. It looked like a job or steal to him. He had amendments to send similar to those already sent up, be said his was to require consent of nine tenths of stockholders to sell or lease, and he moved to table the amend ments already made, sayiug that the •state owned two thirds of the stock in the road and if there was going to be a steal, he wanted to know who was in it French jumped up to say that tabling the amendments would table the bill, and waving his hand said “we will vote it down.” “Let her go,” said Williams, “if you are trying to steal this road I am going to find out who wants to do it, and 1 call the ayes and noes.’’ Monroe said if any county should have a say in this it should be Craven, which had been burdened more than any county with the upbuilding of the road. Smith, of Gates, voted aye to tabie his amendments, because he wanted the bill tabled as it was a dangerous measure. Smith, of Stanly, made strong remarks against the bill. Young said he had listened to W illiams, and as Craven was against this bill he could but vote aye (slight applause). The Democrats Were Yellow-Jacket*. McKenzie: “How did the Clerk put me down ?” Clerk: “I put you down no.” McKenzie: “I voted aye.” Davis: “I would like to have my vote recorded aye ” McLean: “I vote no.” Burnham called Bagwell, who said “with the great est of pleasure, I vote no, Mr. Speaker.” The vote was announced: Ayes, 48; noes, 31. French called for second reading of the bill. Peebles called ayes and uoes. Robinson rose to point of order that the amendment was now before the House. Smith called the ayes and noes on his amendment, which was now put to a roll-call vote, with the following result: Ayes, 34; noes, 44. McClammy paired with White; he (McOlammy) would vote aye. Peebles paired with Wooten. Peebles would vote aye. Smith, of Stanly: “I voted no intend ing to vote aye.” McClammy: “the gentle man from Bladen is in the House and wishes to vote no, I vote aye.” Davis: “Row am I recorded?” Clerk, “not recorded.” Davis: “I vote aye.” Alexander, of Mecklenburg.: “I want to be recorded aye.” Senator Rice came in the House during roll cal! and French hailed him across the hall. ‘ We will have to caucus again ou this immediately after adj >urnment ” Williams of Craven amendment: Same as that of Ray’s concerning the election of directors. Freuch: Mr. Speaker was notice given of that amendment? Speaker: Notice was given to the Speaker last night Ray called the ayes and noes on the amendment of Williams. Peebles paired with Wooten Peebles would vote aye. Norment: Mr. Speaker, I think that amendment has merit in it. I desire to be recorded as votiug aye. Amendment lost by a vote of 34 to 49 The chair ruled out the second amend ment of Williams as it was word for word the same as Smith’s, which had been los\ Second reading was ordered, on which Peebles called the ayes and noes. Ray for a recount and demanded tellers. French said this was out of or- j d-r until the vote was announced. R<y ! ihought it would save time, and he Raj called for a ree iuut as several members were out of the House. Speaker said he would protect the clerk as he was a man of the highest integrity, and &s be (the lerk) felt that he had been r» fleeted upon; that he had seen the members going out I he Speaker Defends the Clerk. Ray said he was recorded and he had not voted. Ray disclaimed rtfl -ctiou, s>ying that he probably had as high a re gard for the cler k as the speaker. French called for amendment of vote before any further action was taken, and submitted that it was not in order to doubt the j count of the vote until that vote had been announced. The vote was announced and t he bill passed its .secoi d reading by a vote of 47 to 17. Henderson and Phil lip’s of Pitt insisted on Ray’s voting. Ray said it was no use as there was about t > be a recount. Du :ng the confusion the speaker had said that he would appoint Ray and Turner of Mitchell permanent te l'*rs for the rest of the session. The roll was called again. Your g v Vd no. The News and Observer, Wednesday, /March 13, 1895. Ewart called on Gentry who said, 1 am ! not going to antagonize any thing. I | vote no. Itiiy itiitl Turner, Permanent Teller*. ; The vote was announced thus, ayes 52; uoes 17, passed second reading. Speak er wished to say that this vote developed I the correctness of the first vote. French said if objection was made to a suspension, he would move a special order. Ray: “I want to say that I came here to do my duty, and I am willing to stay here until July, if necessary, to do it.” French moved to make it special order for this morning at 9 o'clock. Special message from the Governor. Peebles: Point of order that a rn.-jor ity of this House had not voted to make this a special order for this morning, at 9 o’clock, and Smith, of (fates, said that the setting of the time, at 9 o’clock, was |in accordance with the rules which | set the time of meeting, at 10 o’clock. The Speaker said it would require sus pension, and ordered roll-call. Peebles paired with Wooten. Peebles would vote aye. Davis : “1 wish to vote no.” Smith, of Caswell: “1 vote aye. ” I The vote was announced : Ayes 59, noes 20. Huffman : “Mr Speaker, to settle this thing, I change my vote from no to aye.” Dixon rose to a point of inquiry about stock law fence between Green and Lenoir counties. (French broke in.) French said it was within the possibili ties to finish the legislation by 12 o'clock to morrow and he moved to meet to-morrow morniug at 8 o’clock. The Speaker said it was useless; he should have to suspend the rules. French moved to make it the special order for 10 o’clock. Smith of Stanly said it would take a two-thirds vote for a special or der (sustained.) Dix m’s bill was taken up and the Speaker said he remembered the bill had been defeated in the House and without objection he would return it to the Sen ate with that message from the House. The Insurance Commission Bill came up, and Ray asked how many officers that called for. French said one. Fee-Fi-Fum ! They Smell the Blood. Ray asked Ewart how was the Seer ■ tary of State paid; was he uot paid by the*insurance companies, saying it did not come out of the State, to which Ewart assented; then Ray asked Ewart did not the insurance commissioner's pay come out of the State to which Ewart assented. Ewart said that this saved $1,400 a year to the State. Ray: I will have to have something more than the gentleman's bare state ment for that. Ewart then made a talk for the bill of which he said he was in charge, and said that the State would save $1,400 a year by getting that amount which now went into the pocket of the Secretary of State. The minority report was read and Peebles demanded the reading of the bill. The vital parts of the bill provide that the Commissioner shall be elected by the Legislature, to hold for four years from Ist of April 1895; to file a bond of SIO,OOO with securities. The Commissioners snail perform all duties pertaining to Building and Loan and Insurance Companies now done by the Auditor and the Secretary of State He shall visit by himself or by agent each insurance company in the State every two years, and may emplov as sistants to be paid by the company. He shall submit to the Legislature his report every two years. The license tax on Life Insurance Com panics shall be $200; fire, $100; Build ing and Loan, SSO, to be paid to Insur ance Ocmmissioner. The office shall be at Raleigh, and fur nished with safe, stationery, fire, lights, Ac., out of State Treasury, out of funds paid into it by Insurance Companies.

To be elected by General Assembly now in session, to hold office four years. Mr. Norment sent up an amendment to the bill. Ray called for the ayes and noes on the adoption of the substitute Peebles desired to be heard. There was nosul stitute, said Mr. Peebles, in which he was sustained by Norment and the Speaker ordered the reading of Nor ment’s amendment. The amendment provided that no member of this Gen eral Assembly shall have the office of Insurance Commission. Ray amended by putting in “during this session of this General Assembly. Norment withdrew his amendment. Robinson sent another amendment, in cluding members or officers during the session of this General Assembly. Resoloed, By the House of Represen tatives, the Senate concurring, that no member of this General Assembly shall be elected to fill any office created by the act to amend the charter of the Atlantic and Norrh Carolina Railroad Company. Resolved , By the House of Represen tatives, the Senate c incurring, that no member of this General Assembly shall be elected to fill any office created by : this General Assambly. Giving Themselves Christ mas Gilts. Mr. Ray spoke to the amendment, sayiug that there had been one contin uous scramble for office ever since the General Assembly had met; that the Dem ociats had no such skeleton in their closet. ! Ray asked why was this office created. I Was it for the purpose of putting your hands in the pockets of the farmers to pay this commissioner, that this Aasem j bly should not take advantage of their own laws. He could place his hands on the heads of men in this Assembly for whom offices had been created, and here you come agam to create an office never known betore for a man that may not be fit for it. Ewart calhd the previous question. Peebles asked for more time. The Speak er put the motion and declared it car i ried Peebles called for a recount. The Speaker said that if the gentleman pro posed to pass upon the Speaker’s action, ho would cad upon the gentleman ot i Northampton to take the chair Peebles r se with his face in a blaze, with hot in j dignation in his voice, and said the gen tleman of Northampton did not ui.-di to I occupy the chair— th t all he desired was ’o be treated fairly—that he had called for a recount, and that he had a right to call for a recount. Thon Peob loh walked down the aisle, as if he were going out of the house, but returned. Kay naked for the appointment of tel lers. The Speaker said he had already appointed Ray and Turner, of Mitchell, permanent, tellers. Peebles and Smith made points of or der that the previous question could be called only by the member who reported the bill. The Speaker read the rule which allowed a member also who was in charge of the bill and Mr. Ewart was in charge of the bill. The roll was now called on Ray’s amendment,. Burnham said officers of this House and members should have as good a chance for t he office as anybody else. Smith, of Gates, said Buchanan’s chances were not even chances, for the Democrats had no chance at all. Smith, of Stanly, said he was not in favor of gixing $2,800 of the people’s money to make berths for two men on the other side to lie down in and do nothing. The amendment was lost by a vote of 45 to 25. On the second reading of the bill, Peebles demanded the ayes and noes. Grizzard claimed that with salary, office and fixtures the expense would be run up to $4,000, simply to give some men an office. The Secretary of State had so managed this department that it. was yielding $50,000, and thought it would soon yield $70,000. There were some 100 companies in operation, and will you now break up the prosperous course of this manage ment for the sake of putting it in the hands of an untried man. He hoped not. Peebles said he would address himself to the mathematics of Mr. Ewart; that the Secretary of State derived from fees $1,400 a year. By this bill the salaries, $2,800, and officers, say S2OO, if you please, making $3,000, which the in surance companies, if they have to pay it, will make out of the people, so that this takes out of the people $1,400 to give to two men for whom these offices arc made. White: My people didn't send me here to establish new offices. I voted against the establishment of the Code Commis sion and I will vote against this. Stike leather changed his vote from no to aye. The bill passed by a vote of 41 to 31. Ray wished to send forward a protest on another matter, but the Speaker asked him to wait until the following bill from the Senate was considered. Robinson said that it was simply a supplemental bill to put the enacting clause in a Building and I/ran bill which had passed the House. The bill passed. To incorporate the Charlotte and Mecklenburg Railroad Co. McCall with drew his objections and the bill passed second and third readings. Black Rodman, Nathan Smith and Richard Salmon of Cumberland be placed upon the pension roll in the first class. Harris of Hyde sent up amend ment including all Confederate soldiers saying that deserving cases should go regularly before pension commissioners. Motion to table failed. Amendment of Harris failed. Ewart: that B. H. West be transferred from the fourth to the second cla*s. Ewart's amendment was adopted and Burnham amended the bill by making “first class” “second class.” adopted. Ray: provided, they shall not lie transferred without recommendation of the pension commissioners. Adopted. Bill now passed second reading and was put on the calendar. Mr French at 2 o’clock moved a re cess til 4 o'clock. Ray amended to 12 o’clock to morrow. Defeated, and re cess taken until 4 o'clock. SENATE.

The bill abolishing office of County- Board of Education and County Super intendent of Public Institution was placed on its third reading Senator McCaskey sent up an amendment to al low Clerks of Superior Courts to appoint county examiners. Senator Mitchell protested against this proposition to mix up education and politics in ihe State. He believed that it meant the serious crippling of the educational system. Senator Dowd opposed the amendment and thought it would do a great deal of harm by putting the appointment of county examiner in the hands of one man elected every six years. Senator McCaskey’s amendment was adopted. Senator Adams said he regarded this bill, apart from politics, as one of the most iniquitous that could be devised. (The Fusion Senators seemed to pay very lit tie attention to what any body said in opposition to the bill, it having been agreed to in caucus.) Senator Adams declared that he saw uo u e in further discussing the bill, and he took his seat. Senator Dowd sent up an amendment to except Mecklenburg county. He said the passage of such a bill meant stepping ten years backward Senator Paddison urged the passage of the bill, and said the people wanted and demanded it. Senator Fowler said when he saw a farmer come to a merchant and tell him how to run his business, or a merchant come to a lawyer to advise how to conduct his suits, he put these advisers down as fools. He did not be lieve one out of ten among the teachers of the State favored this bill. Senator Hoover: “Don’t the people ask for this bill?” “They may want it, but they don’t need it,” replied Senator Fowler Senator Dowd’s amendment to except Mecklenburg was Inst.

Senator Hoove ’Lough* it a bad bill and he didn’t wa d it to pass. Senator White of Alamance, opposed the hill, and was sur prised at the introduction of such a bill at this laic hour. He want* dto see the bill voted down as it deserved to be. He thought it the m st outrageous bill in troduced in the General A sembly. It proposed to give Geo. H.
