THURSDAY, JANUARY IS. 1883.
H. A. LONDON. Jr., Editor.
Matt' W. BAhomIi.h boon honorcil
Ih'ft'way that has never before fallen
to the lot of any North Carolinian,
having hsen three time elected to
M- biiiteil States Senate, and the
last two times receiving the imam
mous nomination of his party emeus.
Wo well remember the close contest
when he was first nominated, for we
vote' the secretary of the caucus.
The contest was between him and
Hon. A. S. Mr.viuion. both of whom
were warmly supported by thuir
friends, Riul, according to our recol
lection, there will only one majority
for Gen. Hansom. This was in Jan
uary, 1S72. and he was elected then
to fflf a vacancy occasioned by the re-
(agnation of Hon. '.. B. Vance. vh
had been elected in November, 1870,
but was refused admission info (Lo
Senate. Gen. Hansom made in;
ceptablc a Senator that, in lHTli. he
ceived tho unanimous nomination of
the legislative caucus ami was a;:iin
elected. And now for the third time.
Ou last Tuesday, the peoplo of North
Carolina through their legislators
have hIiowii their appreciation of him
bv continuing him as one of their
representatives in the highest liisla- ;
fiva body in tho world, he having
again received the unanimous endorse
ment of his party caucus.
We copy from the Congressional
Directory the follow ing brief biogra
phy of our distinguished senator:
!fatt W. Ransom, of Northampton
county, was born iu Warren eoun:y.
North Carolina, in 1S2! ; received an
academic education ; graduated from
the University of North Curohi.u in
1847 ; studied law a:; 1 was a-biitt.-.l
to the bar or. grailuating in ls17; is
a lawyer and planter: was elected
Attorney-General of North f 'rit . -i ti. t
in 1S.TJ, and resigned in lv".; was a
member of the Legislature of North
Carolina iu 18" .V.i. and '('.'; was a
Feaeo Co!!:tnis.-,ioner from the Sj.ate
of North Carolina to the Congress of
Southern States at Montgomery, A!a
lianid, in 18i',l; entered the Conf-d
erato Army, sen ing as it Lieutenaut
Colonel, Colonel. Hi iga lier (iei.ei a!.
Mid Major-General, and hiirreiii.lt ivl
at Appomattox.
The Details of the passage of a hill
through the T.rgish'ture are not known
to many persons, w ho ha'-o not been
members of a Legislature, and there
foro we will briefly describe to our
readers the process, or machinery,
by which their laws are enacted. I:i
ctrdor to become a law the Mil must
pa .s three rcailiugs in each bra'-ch of
the (renera1 Assembly. It may lr
introduced cithf int the Senate or
House, is usually read by its
only, aul without any vte beii.e
taken passes its flrut reivlin UlS ,t
matter of course and is refer: nl to In
appropriate committee. The coin
in'.ttee examines into th inerts of
the bill, and. if iu their opinion, it
ought to become a law they report it
favorably: otherwise, unfavorably.
The report of the committee generally
decides the fate of a bill, and there
, fore its friends and foes make a strong
light before the committee. After
tho committee hns reported the bill it
is placed upon the "calendar", or iile
of bills. ni:d when its turn comes is
road the second time and is oj en Vr
, discussion. If it passes its see .nd
reading it is placed on the calendar
of bills on their third reading, and
must wait at least one day (unless the
rules are suspended before it is lead
the third time. After passi.ii; its
third reading it is "engrossed '. or
copied, and the coj y sent to the other
branch of the Legislature, where it
must go through the same proi ess.
When the bill has thus passed its
three several readings in both houses
it is "enrolled", or copied by the en
rolling clerk and is signet! by the
President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House, anil iB then a
law of the land. Sometimes a bill is
"recommit toil", that is. referred a
second time to a committee for further
examination. The yeas and nays may
be had ou the passage of a bill upon
Jho demand of one fifth of the mem
bers preaent, and recorded in the
journals. And the yens and nays
VrsT be called on the second and third
readings of every bill that imposes
any tax or that pledges tho faith of
Hio State for the payment of any
debt. In this way tho people can
kuow how their legislators Tote.
The Refubmcak members of the
Legislature, with four exception,
Toted for Col. William Johnson, of
Charlotto, for United States Senator.
The vote stood 108 for Rai isoiu and
17 for JiJinson. It will bo remem
bered that Col. Johnson had always
been an extreme democrat until lust
year, when he hoHl to obtain ollice
by the "liberal" boom ami deserted :
h?H old party, and all that ho has ub-:
tained for his desertion is the honor!; ,
Of being so badly beaten by (iuu. i
IhiiiKom.
Yk iiavk p ceived ami read with
much interest a opy of the "Annual
Report of the Board of Directors anil .
tho Superintendent of the North j
Carolina Insane Asylum" for the past
year. We aru pleast d to learn that
the health of the patients has been
remarkably good throughout t he year,
and that the mortality was smaller
than usual, from the Superintend
ent's report we learn that the total
number of u:l;:ii-;si.i:n since the op ui
ing of the institution. V -l-ruary ::.!: I.
IS.".!'., amounts to l.M.'- i' these
SJ8 were males. :.!.l (i.'.U were t.-: cilcs:
the total number of ,lis--'n: .. I (or
the same time is LI-:'1 : ,.f which 5-vl
were males and oo :les. Of th. se
38") were discharged as curd : l"l
were improve 1. 'l- unimproved and
l'2'J did. There are now under
treatment U" males and l.M female-,
a total of 278 : of these ti males and
III females are at home, on probation
or trial. The Superintend "it also
states thai sevi nil months ago he sent
a circular to the sheriT of . vi ry county
hi the State inyiiiing the number
of insane persons in his county, and
that the repli s sliowd there were
(18;? insane persons not in the asylum.
Ir. Grissom hn proven himself
peculiarly litl. d f-r his repoi.sli-a'
position. a: I our State is f.rt.iri.ate
in having hi. it iu chug- of its clii -f
ho,piial.
TllK SuNvrt: is to be coi:i:ie. :i 1-d for
so promptly ousting Mr. Ilalstea 1 a:. 1
refusing to jnty him his tcr diem
while occupying the seat that did not
rightfully belong to him. nd we es
penally commend the republican sen
ators for laying aside p.arti'an preju

was right and just. Mr. lllstel

Ihui! Ri eoiU': You may inform j
your readt rs in tho western part ofi
the county that a syndicate of North j
Carolina gentlemen have proposed toj
bnv tho Slate's interest, in the Cape!
Fear Yadkin Valley Railroad and
agree to complete the road. 1 will
send vou a copy of their proposition
for your next, issue. I think there is,
a strong disposition among the mem
b us to" aid them Mr. Marsh is on
the committee on iuKinal improve
ments and will do all he can that will
look towards the c nnpMion of the
road.
The republicans are beginning to
sh-v.v thai lin y are not in earm st in
their prol'i --.ions ,.f fri.ui Iship for the
n. ero. While the House had up a
proposition to pay registrars and
judges of election for their patriotism
in holding i hviion. a republican pro
posd an Mi.tei.ihneiit that no pci-on
should serve us such oiheer unless he
could read and write which was
a lopted by the solid v to of the Lib
erals .and it -publi-.-ans and a few d. u,
tvruts. Mr. Hiih yand otht-r ,h o ,
crats u:;ered a prote.-t 1 1 the j'".u

Mr. Lawrence has intro.l ,ed a bill ,

for tasa'.i.iiii. The republicans op
p.i-e.l th" bill because it would in all
