2 NO CHANGE IN THE JUBT SYSTEM The House Refuses to Pass the Moore Bill. THE DEBATE A SHORT ONE OTHERWISE THE DAY IN HOUSE IS DREARY. BUT MUCH HARD WORK WAS DONE The Largest Number of Bills that has Yet Been Disposed of in a Single Day. Two Dozen Passed Third Reading. Tile story of yesterday’s doings in tho House must of necessity ho very brief. The reasop is that there was much done. The Solnns worked. They didn’t talk. When they don’t inlk they don't ay sharp things to each other; and when ihoy don’t do this there are no "inci dents’’ in the proceedings. And when there are no incidents why there’s noth ing to write about. lienee this abbreviated chronicle of yesterday's law-making. If was a veritable oratorical Sahara— westerday was—gray and dreary. In vain one looked for a sunlight flash of humor, a green sprig of rhetoric or a spring of sentiment. It was toil; dead, heavy toil, toward the end of the calendar. A big, foot thick calendar, it is now, and a day's work doesn't make much impression on it. Yesterday’s didn't, for it seemed as big when we stopped as it was when we began; but of course it wasn't, for in the four hour's session just thirty four bills had been clipped ofi' of it. The only event of the day that by any stretch of the imagination could ho called a debate was a little discussion in regard to Mr. Moore’s bill reducing the number of peremptory challenges in capital cases. The bill, it will be remembered, was up before the House last week aim alter some debate was re-referred to the Judiciary committee. Yesterday it came back "without prejudice” from 'he com mittee —not the original bill blit a sub stitute. ' This substitute,” Mr. Moore explain ed, "was drawn to meet certain objec tions raised to my bill in committee. "It reduces the number of defendant’s challenges from twenty-three to twelve, and increases the number of the State's challenges from four to eight, and furth er provides that in all capital cases the prosecuting officers on behalf of the! State shall not have the right to stand aside any per cent, of the jury without v first, showing cause, as now provided ■by law.” Mr. Ray. of Macon, was the first ob jector to the bill. He thought it one of the most important that would be considered at this session ami he hoped it would not be disposed of hurriedly. He said it proposed to change a law which had stood for a century, an l lie wanted the Judiciary committee *o re- 1 port on the bill one way or tho other. ; die suggested a re-reference. Mr, Moore replied that, the bill had l>een to the committee twice and he hoped it would not be sent there again. "The bill lias been hawked back tuid forth between House and committee j Jong enough. This House is, I think! capable of disposing of it.” Mr. Ray: "Has this substitute ever been before the committee. ' Mr. Moore: "It has not, but it is offered to meet; certain objections by members -of the committtco and on the advice and suggestion of others.” “What member of the committee has ever said lie favored that substituteV” j "None.” "I know I never hoard of it.” "I don’t suppose you have as 1 never seen you at the committee meeting.” Mr.’ Rountree, of New Hanover, said it was the general concensus of opinion among tho members of the Judiciary comm it to that the original bill ought not to pass, but there was a general con census that some sort of bill ought to pass. I Mr. Julian, of Rowan, impel his county would be ex copied. He consid ered the law a dangerous one. Mr. 11 art sell, of Cabarrus, moved to table the bill. The motion prevailed.

This is tin* third attempt to get. a bill of this sort before the Senate at this session.

Senator Ward’s bill to restore the old system of county government was limited to Washing ton county, and acted on favorably. The bill to provide that vacancies oc curring ad interim on the hoard of di rectors of the Morgnuton insane asylum shall be filled by the board instead of by the Governor received favorable ac tion.
