Ue Feast Far Metta. ' rr?r tl-thess 'formalities, the House concerned itself mostly with 1 loie feast over the honor of lieing ailowed to raise the salary of the ftate AtjTtanr tfeneral- from ItHsi to MeW", and the ironing out a split in the Mecklenburg dele gstion over an increase ia the salary of the country treasurer down in the cradle of liberty. The salary ad located waa finally left ia the hands of the county commissioner to do with as they wish. Raising the salary or the Adju tint tiencral came over to the House from the Kenate,J where it had originally been anowed under, and then reconsidered and passed with a ::n to M vote. The salary of this nmre had been inadvertently overlooked, largely because of the 1 leaty of the holder when all sul ancs were raised during the regular session. When, it cajne to the House with the regular , Henate message yesterday S'oruing, motion waa made to put it on Immediate passage, Hpeaker (iritr quit the HiM-aker stand to come down on to the floor and pay tribute to the worth of Ad jutunt tlriiernl Metta, aud the valor of the Thirtieth Division generally. Representative Hamilton also spoke of the valiant Thirtieth, with some special illusions to the breaking of the llindenbriig line, sundry mem Ken of the House who had served with the Thirtieth, sdded their sp pnrval.'and ethers ffsMW- the neigh . 1 10 r hood of Concord, where Colonel Metta had hand led the strike of the cotton mill workers, made men ion of thut. Othera brought reference to the Long Ejectment bill, which, they said, if passed would vsstlv increase the duties of the Adjutant (.eiieral. The bill paased in an un roar of aptilnuse, by a vole of 1 to 4. Kow la Merhlenbarg. Much lea like a love feaat was the attending of the schitin in the Mecklenburg delegation, with tw of it iDcnilicr and it cenntor ar rayed againat Representative Person, who imposed the mcreaae to the treasurer. The bill had Deen killed once in the House nt the in stance of Mr. Peron, and again it sia left Ivim dead by a tie vote on motion to reconsider. Such mo lion wn again lodged yesterday morning, and finally carried. The measure oriirinated ia the Henate with Henator Delaney, of Meeklen burst. Mr. Person waa and i oppoaed to rniaini anybody's salury, and made no secret nf his opposition. Hep resentative Pharr was somewhat loth to press, the matter, beeauee he is relsted to the treasurer by mnrriaire. but he did not introduce the bill. Mr. Matthew favored it, Honntor Delaney favored it, and Mr Pharr was not opposed it it. He win more concerned at seeing the House interfere with a local measure oa thick tha majority of tlie MecMeB burg delegation waa agreed. On that irroiind. the llotiae paasseo. me ai ary bill, with Mr. Persoa still pro testing. fittiorwits the session wss eslm Wnl measures, and minor public tills flowed through their final linn without objection, with here and there one seni 10 u.r tnble, ss with the law proposco 10 ...,! .11 local traffic laws , and ...1..., int.. a rather-' indefinite sys .

Senator Patton of Burke was join ed In advocacy of the measure by Henator Ponire, his Democrat i col league, and the Semite voted 27 to 7 In accordance with their contention that the contract was in violation of public policy and should be ahrn. gated. The Bcnate alto voted down an amendment offered by Penator Long of Alamance, proposing ta sub mit the question to the rltisent of the area effected. School Casasnlsalaa.

The bill provides that the commission shall submit a report thirty days prior to the convening of tht aext Oeneral Assembly. Tht only opposition to tht meat ura was ia tht form of a captious amendment by Senator Burgwya. af ftonaaaiptaa, proponing to appoint a committee af three to tad the meaty to defray tht expense! of tht commissi aad a suggestion from Senator Dualap that the eommistioa should tadsavor to And a cheaper basis for operation of tht ackoola.

Three Sen ator agreed ancqViToeally 'to re main and about tea othera With res ervations. It waa explained to the Senate that the laat sewsios will be held klouduy aight, by employing the time h a ored artifice of turning tht clock for ward. The work of the Senate on the aawaiietpsil aeseor act, the re ens. 1 ment uf which was one of the pri mary objects of the session snd which is now the cause of remain ing into next week, will be entirely perfunctory. The House, by resolu tion, yesterday recalled the measure in order tn correct ita osi error on the passage of the bill. Thia mean that any amendment the iSenate might incorporate in the bill would serve to Invalidate it, un less it went back to the House for three more days, and Monday aight will probably and membera of both bouses on their way home. The same status exists in regsrd to the department of Education bill, validating schools taxes levied this year, requiring the same tax for next year, before participation in the equalization fund and changing the fiat requirement for aueh partici pation from a 3(1 centa tax to M cents tax. The House discovered there had also been a defoet in the passage of this bill and it was like wise recalled by resolution. No Pahlic Calendar. At ita morning session the Henate did not reach the public calendar but two liuely lights were evoked by local bill, both being passed by strict party votes. In each instance kWpu blieaJi Senators nm.de tha claim that tenatorial courtesy should be shown them and in each instance liemix-nits took the ground that the facts revealed that the Senators were wholly at variance with the wishes of their constituents. One of the bills repeals an act passed at tht regular session restrict ing the boundaries of the tow a of Koseboro, iu Haiupson county. The statement was msde on the floor that it had been conclusively shown to the committee that 45 of the 50 all ien who were legislated out of the town wanted to get buck, the fire who are satisfied including Repre sentative Owens, who secured pas sage of the original hill. A solid array of Republican also found themselves helpless in their resistance to a bill transferring Ca tawba county from the 17th to the lHth judicial district. However, aa amendment waa passed postponing the effect of the bill to July 1, If", nnd thus enabling- Solicitor Hayes, Republican, to prosecute the cases now on the Catawba county calendar. The bill waa accompanied by a com panion bill taking Polk county out of the 16th district and placing it in the lHth, it being explained thut both changes were desired by the bars of thecounties involved, and were in ac cordance with geographical bounda ries which were violated in the re spportionnient of 1 tl : because of the residence of judges then sitting. Hoth bills have already been passed by the House. Less than ten new bills were in troduced yesterday, but the number included three bills of State-wide interest. Senator (iriffin proposed to memorial the Virginia Legislature in regard to ten proposed road be tween Elizabeth City and Norfolk; Senator Blue offered a proposal againat State institutions trailing among themselves, and Senator Men denhall offered a measure making it possible for motorists to use "license applied for" tags under conditions approved by the Secretary of State.
