Mr. Kelly, from the Committee on the Judi ciary, to whom was referred the bill to amend the act concerning legacies, filial portions, and distributive shares, reported a substitute for said bill, and rccommeuued au adoption in lieu cf the original. The Senate thcu proceeded to the c .iisider t tion of the bill to rcpealthe act establishing the county of Jackson, which had been made the special order for this day. The bill being upon its third reading, Mr. Thomas moved to amend the bill by strik ing out all after th? onacting clause, and insert ing a supplemental bill for tiie establishment of Jackson County, with a provis ion that the Coun ty should not be entitled to send a member to the House of Common-", and that the act should not go into operation until after the next appor tionment. Mr. Thomas said he was willing to relinquish the claim to a representative in order t secure the other advantages incident to having a sepa rate Count)- organization, '.or the administration ' justice, tie. Mr. Steele asked lor a division ot tne question, so that it might be taken first on striking out. Mr. Thomas said if it were in order to do so, he would move to refer the bill and propose i amendment to the Committee on the Judiciarv. Mr. Steele said it must bo apparent to every Senator that the object of the Senator from Hay wood was to stave off this bill, and to prevent any action being had upon it or. the part of the Senate. When the postponement until this day had been proposed by the Senator and assented to by Senate, for the purpose of aeeonim jda- .- ting him, it was distinctly understood that he' was to ask for no further delay. And n jw the ! senator came in with a proposition totally at variance with the understanding upon winch the postponement had been granted. Mr. Thomas said ho desired the reference of the bill, in order to remove a doubt from the minds of some of the friends of Jackson Countv. 113 to whether it could properly be constituted a County, without having the privilege to send a member to the House of Commons. This doubt could bst be removed by obtaining the opinion of the Judiciary Committee, j Mr. Thompson said it appeared to him that the Senator from Haywood had materially chang ed his opinion. He had' from the beginniug . been contending that this was a County to all intents and purposes aud therefore entitled to a representative, and had refused all compromises whatever. It was very obvious, he thought, that the whole purpose was to stave off the question by consuming time unnecessarily , j Mr. Thomas denied that his vioves were iu the slightest degree changed in regard to theconsti ' tutiunal rights of Jackson County to a represen tative, but said it became necessary sometimes to sacrifice part of a right in order to secure the remainder. He withdrew thc motion to refer. The question bein upon striking out the ori 1 ginal bill Mr. Steele demanded the yeas and nays. Mr. Caldwell said although he was opposed : to the repeal of Jacksou County, he could not ' vote for the proposition of the Senator from : Haywood, because he did not think they had i the constitutional right to establish a County and deny to that County a representative. Mr. Oilmer said he agreed with the Senator ' from Merklenhurir hat it thw now rnmiiu -.... . ---o s .. v-wv... nnt permitted to remain unrepealed and to become de facto a County, they could not deprive it of! the right to send a member to tho House of, Commons. He moved to strike out that part of ! the amendment which declared that tho County j should not bo entitled to a representative. : While up, ho would remark that he was sorry ! the Senator from Haywood had withdrawn his I motion to refer the bill to the Committee on the Judiciary, not because he believed that a report from that Committee would change the mimTof j any Senator upon the Constitutional question. but because it would gnc his friend from Hay- i repealed, the effect upon the Western people of mis cuiic wouw os to enango ineir icvinin m regard to the institution of slavery. He thought . " "u",.u""lv . afraid it had done his cause considerable injury, He thought it was an argument which tin; con- r a - - - . - n i r 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 n r . 1 1 . 1 ir ' j cuU.:.ii5 oi m.u h.iiUi "o H"-'1"'" wmi ; u w .is one no uum cuiure to assen which they would not justify. Mr. Gilmer withdrew his motion to amend at the request of Mr. Thorna, who then renewed his motion to refer the bill and proposed -amendment to the Committee on the Judiciary. ! Mr. Washington opposed the motion to refer. The Committee on the Judiciary, he said, had , been made during tho whole session, a sort of i " Omnibus, into which all the troublesome bu- siness" of the session had been thrown. That I Committee had now before it more business than it could dispose of in a fortnight, and j amotig it some very perplexing matters, for in stance the " Indian artairs" of the Senator from i Haywood. He felt the more uuwilling that the j Hill should be referred at this late period, for i the reason that he had been, in some degree, instrumental in indicting upon the Senate a further consideration i,f this troublesome mat- ter. The bill, as the Senate would remember, had passed its third reading on yesterday, when the Senator from Haywood (as he alleged I was ( temporarily absent, and as an act ol courtesy : to that Senator, he had moved a reconsideration of the vote upon an express understanding that ! the w hole matter v as to be disposed of to-day. j The Senator from Haywood had now offered a I very important ameudinent, and moved to refer j the bill and amendment to the Committee on j the Judiciary, where he would, no doubt, keep them as long as the question of the enumeration of the Indians had been kept there, j Mr. Thomas begged to enquire of the Senator from Craven, whether the Committee on the Ju I diciarv were yet ready to report on the question to w Inch he alluded. I Mr. Washington replied that they were not, , for the reason that the Senator from Haywiiod, i ha i. at each meeting of the Committee, referred I to other important e i lenee w hich he did not then have before the Committee, and ha I asked a po-in,.n. Client of the decisi ' tee until he could adduce tie ' Mr. Thomas said lie was on of the Commit- j e'. ld'-nee. happy to sav that ! the cidcnce and documents were all now before , the Committee. .Mr. Washington said lie was very glad to j hear it, but was afraid it would turn out, in re-gar-1 to that matter, a in regard to this l,i!l, that there was no end to it. lb: felt satisfied that tiie Senate was fully prepared looteonl the bill and amendments, but if the reference was male, he did not believe the bid would be j disno-ed of in a fortnight and he hoped, there- i fore, that the motion would not prevail. j Mr. Kelly said he was iu favor of the refer- once. He wanted a report from the Judiciary 1 Committee as to whether Jackson is a County, i There was no doubt in his own mind that it was I ips facto a County, but he desired to have his i pinion fortified by thru of the Committee. Be- J sides, there were borne Senators w ho were sap- ' porting this bill to repeal the County on the j supposition tiiat it was not now entitled to the , pr; ileges which heluir.1 to a County, and who j would vote otherwise if they believi d it to be i already a County. It v. as true the Supreme Court had dcei'iej that the 1 -gidature has a ! right to repeal Counties; but he though: it ex- tremely improper to pursue such a course ; it was a dangerous precedent and one calculated to unsettle the existing state of things. He : would not vote for the establishment of Jaek.ion ! County, if that question were now proposed as an original question, fait it having been done, he thought it ought not ih.w to be repealed. Mr. Thompson. From the argument of the Senator from Moore, it appears that he wants a report from the Judiciary Committee to reverse the decision of tho Supreme Court. If the Sen ator desires the passage ( f a bill declaring that passage (,j a bill declaring tnat hereafter there shall be no Counties repealed, I will go with him, heart aud hand, to keep the Counties as they are ; but a report from the Committee cannot affect this question. Mr. Kelly. I sai.l 11: ling about reversing the decision of the Supreme Court, Sir. 1 have not advanced any such idea. 1 think the decis ion of the Court is wrong ; but 1 do not van: to array tie: opinion of tbo Committee f-r or against that decision. Th re are several appli- cations ibr new Counties now before the legisla ture, and 1 say if you establish the practh-e of ; repealing them at pleasure, there will be no stabiiitv or c rta'u.ty about your legislation on the subject of Counties; the people making ap plication Ihr a separate County iiil not be able to depend up, .a your action, and will not know whether they have a County secured to them or not. i Mr. Thompson. To re-luce this question : within a small compass, let me ask what is it . that is to he referred ' Is it expected that the Committee will go into the discussion uf the ab stract qmstioii whethe r Jac!;sita is now entitled to s iel a member to the House uf Common, or will they report back the bill or the substitute, an I rec-'inmend its passage ? The latter is the only cours - that can have any practical bearing upon our action. But, Sir, this to called Coun ty was not regarded as a County by the legisla ture, as a reterence to the proceedings of the General Assembly will show that thev author ised tie- adjoining Counties to administer the law within this territory. Would tin y have done so, if it had been regarded as a County ? i There is no necessity for a reference at all : it is but trifling with the time and patience of the Senate. We ought to proceed and act upon the : bill at once. The Senate owes it to its own dig ' uity and self respect to do so. j The question upon the motion to refer was bv i yeas 23, nays 22, decided iu thc affirmative. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Fridav, Nov. 12, ls"2. Mr. Martin, from the select committee, to which was referred the bill to give the election People, of Clerks and Masters in Equity t the , reported the same to the House, and reeom- meiidvd its passage. The bill having been read the second time, Mr. Munday moved to amend bv inserting a section to promise for the election of County j Surveyors ; and upon the amendment Mr. Wil- Hams, of Warren, called for the ayes and noes. I Mr. Cherry regretted to sea this bill make its ; regular biennial appearance. The present : Clerks and Masters were, he believed, faithful an-1 efficient officers : and there could be no good ! reason for a change in the mode of appointing them. He did not believe the people desired it. If the desire was to democratize our institu- tions iu this particular m ore than they were, let the election of the important officers be given to the people, not such as these, i Mr. Martin briefly replied. He said the ap ! pointmeut of these officers was now made on ', the recommendation of lawyers, and frequently of one lawyer; and the people of his county desired this change, j The question was then taken on the amend : ment offered by Mr. Muuday, and it was rejee- ted yeas 41, noes 02.

Miih r and Spruill, the question was taken on i the amendment ; and it was rejected yeas 28, : nays 74. Mr. Webb moved that the bill be postponed j to Friday : which motion was lost. i Mr. MeDugald then offered an amendment, ! providing that on the expiration of the term of service of the Clerks and Masters now in office, , the Clerks of the Superior Courts in each coun ty shall discharge the duties of said office, and ; receive-the same fees that the Clerk and Mas- ! ter now receives. 1 After some remarks from Messrs. Cherry, ! MeDugald, Avery and Lander in regard to the probable effect of the amendment, the question j was taken, and the amendment rejected. Mr. Webb then moved to amend by provid ing for the election uf Tax Collectors ; which ' he afterwards withdrew. Pending the question on the passage of the bill, ' The Speaker announced that the honr had arrived for taking up the special order it being ; the Free Suffrage Hill. ' On motion of Mr. Avery, the bill was laid upon the table and made tiie special order for , Friday next at 12 o'chx-k, in order to give the members who are absent an opportunity to vote.

Mr. Woodfin from the committee on tho ju diciary asked leave to make a verbal report up on a question submitted to that committee yes terday, in reference to the courdy uf Jackson. Leave being granted, Mr. Wo -din said a majority of the commit tee had instructed him to report iu the tirst place upon the question submitted, " is Jack son now a county, and entitled to a representa tive?'' that in their opinion, it is such a coun ty. Tiie committee, however, were not unani mous. A minority of the committee believed th it further legislation was necessary, in order to entitle it to representation. The ma jority of the committee were of opinion further that the question, whether Jackson is now en titled to a representative or whether further leg islation is necessary, in order to give to it such representative, is a matter which has no practi cal bearing upon the subject embraced in the bill inkier consideration. Inasmuch as the whole subject was within the power of the Leg islature to repeal or confirmthe county, it was in reality a mere abstract question, whether it was now a county, in contemplation, of law or ti. i i ,i: . . i . not. xiiu cuuiuiiiiet; uuu uiievaou mm to make the report, thus unformally, so that the action of the Senate might notbeunnecessarilydelayed.

The Chair understands that there was a single question referred to the com mittee, a mere question of law and that they had not tho bill before them at all. Upon that legal point, the committee have reported ver- j bally, that in tho opinion of a majority of the ! ceui mittee, Jackson is a county. j Mr. Thompson. If I had so understood it, i Sir, I should have insisted on a recommitment ; and, that we have from the committee a re- port in writing, the question submitted was whether Jackson is now a county, and eutitled to send a member to the House of Commons. The committee had no right to travel out of the record, and say it might become a county by future Legislation. Tuey have not met the question. According to tho plainest principles of common sense, it is not a county capable of electing a member. There is-no officer to con duct an election. Now then, can a member be returned? It is absurd to say that the right to seniratc representation is conferred by the Constitution. How can a man, or a society, or association of men, receive a right or any oth- er tiling, when they are not capable ot exercis ing it ? Mr. Thompson read from a decision of the Supreme Court to show that the report, of the committee was incorrect. The Speaker. Does the Senator make any- , motion. j Mr. Thompson. Yes, Sir, I move that tho report be recommitted, and I shall insist that j the next report be made in writing. j Mr. Woodfin said if the gentleman had atten ded to what he had said, he would have perceiv ed that every point submitted had been met in the report. A majority of the committee, con tinued Mr. Woodiin, were of the opinion that Jackson is a county as it now stands, an I enti tled to a representative. It was also distinctly state,!, that in order that no further delay should be incurred, and that action upon this matter might be had at once, and thus accommodate tin; gentleman from 15 ;rtie, who seemed to be anxious for the spe-.-dy passage of the bill, the Committee had determined to make their report at once, so that the bill might be disposed of, and tiie gentleman be r--!ieved from ail further su -per.se and solicitude, which seems to have pressed upon lii til very severely, for the last fortnight. Rut if the -gentleman is so clear in his judgment that this is ,et a county, if it, itc, is so much a matcerofeoinm m .ii-nc, and so utterly l.epou 1 dispute that it is no county, tln-n where fore ail these est rt: ms to r -peal it? Why la- r to repeal that whi li has no existence ee the iiecessitv a ue c. niiiiittce count not see ti.e necessity ior niinittee couPl not s i'1-miiiittiiig the report iowritting. 1: is-a very short report and reiaf-.s simply to the point sub mitted wlie.her Jackson as it now stands is a county. This is the only point we were called on to decide. The Constitution id' the State gives to every county in North Carolina a mem ber in the House if Commons. But the Sena tor says it is impossible for a county to 'hold a rigiit vv . l, h it i an:ii.t exercise. 1 imagine the Senator has not oiside reit well tlie preposition , that a rigiit cannot cised. it is p 'ssib yet without the aiq e held without beiii" exer- 1 lor in hints to own estates, intmeiit of a Guardian, the j int. :nt cannot cm bio that an insaie rol Utat estate, ft is possi- . person may own an estate, i ana yt lie is iet permitted to exercise control over it. And the fact that no guardian is ap pointed, does not destroy the right of pr- pertv. By the act of the la-t Legislature, the county of Jackson is declared to be hereby established and created with all the rights and immunities of the other counties in North Carolina. To have a member in the House of Commons is ore id' those rights ; and I ak b wnat author!- i 1 ty do you deprive the county of Jackson of this p.Hjsl rignt .' suppose vou tan.'.1 no further steps in islation m regard to this county, the consti tution declares that each county shall have a sheriff. Suppose the peopb o; Ja on county elect a sheriff here and h 1 i ana elect a member, and send him hiims his seat and produces the constitution of the State, wl ii declares that each county is entitled to a member, and that bv vour legislation, this lirU- been shows est ali- i-i i i-.- l, ... t'.snea as a uis.mc. county, would not t:ie egiS h ture be obliged to receive tlie member? IS true there must be legislation to regulate tiie ', time and place of hohling courts, and t i r ru- vide lor otui : municipal purposes, but tlie want . 4 1 'if these cannot d. 'prive the countv of the right i to be represented. But you are now going to apjtortion the representation i:i the Ileus,, of, Comm'Uisamong t he v arious coun tiesof tii Slat . . Here is on your statute l.-jok a county called Jackson, how arc- you going to avoid assigning a member to it? if it be a countv, as the leg- : islature has ue.-l.u --d then according t thc con- ' s:itution is- entitle! t. a member. The Legisla- : tore has declare 1 that it is and shall be a countv. : The very fact of introducing this bill to repeal it sh .,vs in what light the gentleman regards it. ' If he does not regard it as a county, he lias cor- : tainly j nt himself to a gre-u deal of unnecessa- ; ry trouble. The committee thought we might ! expedite action upon the bill by making a ver bal re port, because, whether the majority cf the committee be rigid or not upon the abstract ; proposition, it can have no practical application i to the question to be considered and decided bv 1 the Senate. " ' Mr. Liilingtou. I rise, Mr. Speaker, simply : to ask a question of the Senator from Bertie. IL; has undertaken, with the heat which usual ly characterizes him, v. h, -never Jackson County is named in his presence, to censure in severe terms the Committee on the Judiciary for not making their report iu writing and "fortifying it with the reason in extcuso which influenced ' them in coining to the conclusion at which they have arrived ami which, in the opinion of the i Senator, is so clearly absurd. Tho reason why the report was made verbally, has already been assigned by the Chairman. It was to expedite -the action of the Semite upon the question", (tie- j time allowed the Committee being very limited) ! and not because they desired to withhold lrom the Senate or lrom the Country, any of tho rea- : sons which brought them to their conclusion. ; Th j gentleman is very clear that Jackson is not ! a county, that it is nut entitled to a Representa : tive and that it cannot bo regarded as a county ' in making the apportionment of representation, : and he rea Is from a decision of the Supreme ' Court which, in his opinion, is to settle the qucs- : tion now and forever. Now 1 undertake to say ; Sir, that the decision read has nothing what- i ever to do with the question. It does not throw ' the slightest light upon it ami the Senator might I with asmuch propriety have opened the Supreme '. Court Reports at random and read to the Sen- ' ate the first case upon which his eye might hap- j pen to fall. What is tlie gist of the "decision read to us with so triumphant an air which is to I write down the majority of the committee ma- king this report as little less than asses I It is Sir, if I have read it correctly, that the Legis- I lature has the constitutional power to repeal a County and that it is no argument ngiinsc the ' existence of this power that, by its exercise, a : County may be deprived of certain incidental i rights such its the right to have at least one member iu the. Legislature conferred upon ic ' by the constitution, or in the words of tiie de cision itself, "that the constitution, by confer- j ing these incidental rights, cannot, by any fair ! inference, be made to interfere with the control I of thc Legislature on the subject of Counties, as ; instruments for tho good government and man- i agement of the whole State." The exercise of j the right is a mere question of expediency and j can have no legislative bearing upon the power ; to create and abolish counties. This beini' tho i decision, will the trcntleman olease inform thp 1 Senate what it has to do with tho question sub- mitted to the Judiciary committee and now be- fore us for our consideration? The question ' i l i . : plemcntal bill were passed, Jacksou would be a county and as such entitled to a member un - der the new apportionment. The committee have reported affirmatively, and I might, if it were my purpose, assign many reasonl in sup- port of that decision, but I content myself now with asking the Senator how does that decision of the Supreme Court iu the ease of Mills vs. suuunueu. was. insuustance. wnethpr. itnnsnn.' j Williams, read by him with so complaisant an ( air, conflict with the report of the committee?

In this we all, I had supposed, agree. i . r . mi il 1 .. A I now ask the Senator what application has the j lie had been expressly referred to bv t decision he read to this case? After a pause. . Chairman of the Judiciary Committee as Lnn "f The senator does not answer because I sup- j the minority of that Committee and hu fa pose he cannot, and I still remain of the opiu- j that his silence on the question before the So ' ion. notwithstanding his learned argument, that j ate might be misunderstood if not misrepresent" the report of the committee 13 right. , ed. lie, therefore, felt bound to say tlnth" Mr. Gilmer. I shall trouble you with but very i concurred with the Senator from Pasquotank few words Sir, and shall confine my remarks to ; and Perquimans, in the opinion that the so the nroixisition tint ln liorm disensspd. and to ! called countv of Jactdim n it n,.,.. ., i i that only. What will be the effect, upon the - i i -, ' representation of Jackson county, if tho Gene ral Assembly pass no supplemental bill ? It is insisted on one side that if no supplemental bill is passed, according to the provisions of the act establishing' the county, conferring the privi leges and immunities of other counties ia the State, taken in connection with the article in the constitution which says that each county j of the act of the last Legislature for the estab shall have a member, the county of Jackson j lishment of the county of Jackson ; but ho would be entitled to be represented; and on the j would most respectfully say that, in his iuj. other side this is denied. The strength, reason- i ment, such was not the proper construction uf ableness, correctness of a proposition is very of-I the act. It was likewise enacted in the first ten fiiirly tested by looking at the converse of ' that proposition. Suppose that this Legisla- ture should, because we havo the power, repeal the law which gives to the county of Orange its county court. Suppose the law which gives to that county a Sheriff, a Clerk &e., be repealed, would it not still be a county, and would not the citizens of that county still be entitled to be represented? Surelv no Senator will insist that j by the taking away of these oilicers the county j is to be disfranchised. Suppose this General ! Assembly repeal the supplemental bill to tho act establishing a county t wenty years ago, and i under which a county was organized, would it I be insisted that because the county was re i pealed, that he people living there would be in . consequence of such an act, deprived of separate j representation : and would necessarily fall back ( to the counties from which they were originally j se pa rate -l '.' The Senator from Pasquotank, with a good deal of confidence, asked the question why it is that this county is not now represented. I think my friend from Pasquotank will, upon a iittie r- liecuoii, see that m tnis portion ot las ar- gumen t lie was ia cner, t.iat lie lias not witn his usual clearness of perception taken the true ground, that he has overlooked the fact that al though the people of that county are still repre sented in connection with the counties of Hay wood and Macon, this does not destroy their ... . . rigiit to a separate representation, whenever tuey choose to demand it. Mr. Jones. Will the Senator allow me to ask him whether r.ny representative from that por tion of the State is the representative of Hay wood and Jackson, or of Macon and Jackson? I sec before the Senator reaches at the point at which he is aiming. Mr. Gilmer. I understood thc Senator as ar guing that because it was not separately repre sented, it was not entitled to be so represented. It is true it is represented in part by tlie repre sentative of Haywood county, and in part by the representative of Macou county. , Mr. Joocs. The Senator does not answer me the question, whether either of them purports to be the representative from Haywood and Jack ton, or from Macon and Jackson. Mr. Gilmer. I suppose that will depend ve ry much upon the designation which tho speak er may give to the member. Mr. Jones. Does the certificate of either of those g-.ntlemcu so designate them? Mr. Gilmer. It does not. I presume. But the Senator says we ought either to repeal thc act establishing Jackson county, or pass the sup- j dementia bill, w ell, .ir, we alt agree in that. and therefore all thc discussion that has grown out of this question is rather of an abstract na ture. We mutt either repeal the act, or pass a supplemental bill, it must come to that at last. Mr. Washington said he was so heartily tired i f hearing the bill for the repeal of the act es tablishing the county of Jackson, with all the incidental questions, discussed, that he had thought nothing on earth could induce him to make a single remark on the merits of the ques tion then before the Senate. But he occupied a sumewhat singular position in relation to the county of Jackson. lie had voted two years a-'o for the d ine bill establishes that county, and ho had o accoruiVig to the dictates of his con- and to the best of his judgment, with sc:e;ic sueii lights as were then before him. lie was Id that the root do if that section of country lab d uuder ttreat disadvantages and erievau- cos : that they were eomi lied to travel a very rh roads and by considerable distance, over roil very inconvenient a;in modes oi conveyance to their Courts.

' He had, therefore, voted upon the yeas and nays '. in n litMiorirv of id-flit ill this hod t for ihe hi II i rpTte-i li ii t t he act establisdiinp- tho eonnrv of Jackson"on its second reading. He had also voted on the third reading for that bill on the day before yes terdav. The Senate would re - member that when the bill was announced by the Chair for its third reading, the Senator from Mecklenburg had stated that the Senator from Haywood was hot in his seat, and that the bill indicated by the Speaker was one in which that Senator felt a very deep interest ; the Speaker replied that the Senator from Haywood was within the bar of the Senate ; whereupon, the vote was taken, and the bill for repeal was pas- sed through its third and last reading. The Sen- ator from Haywood very soon after stated that he was not aware that it was this bill that was under consideration until ifter the vote was ta- ken. Whereupon, he, Mr. W., as an act of courtesy to that Senator, had moved a reconsid . . . ... . 1....... . r.

I ,. 1 1 1 , . . a,,y reason i j olwius is r.rit j a county to all intents and a county to all intents and purposes vu, ool-.J , n ..ii-. , '"at, ed for a moment that an act of the General senibly laying off a certain portion of the terri toryofthe State and the inhabitants thereon residing, without any thing further being ,0Df, constituted a county? Some e-entlomj?, l. .' i contended that such was the effect and .:' n .i . n.. I clause of every Bank or Railroad charter that ' certain individuals therein named should 1 coiisuiuieu arm appointeu as a uodv corporate &c, with all the rights, privileges and immuni ties of other corporations of this State : and vet no one supposed for a-Bioment that without fur ther provision such corporation would possess any vitality or efficiency. So the delarati.m of the Legislature that a certain portion uf territo ry should be erected into and constitute a coun ty of the State, was, without a supplemental bill, a mere brutum fulmen. Such a corpora tion could havo no vitality or practical existence without a bill establishing Courts mid-conferring on them not only judicial but also certain legislative powers and duties within thc beam daries set forth in said bill. Had that been done in this case ? So far from it, at the very heel of the last session, a bill had been passed giving authority to the Sheriffs, Constables and other officers of the counties of Haywood h :..i l I , i , . on Macon to execute process within said territory j and. providing that all suits, civil or criminal' j in which the citizens of that territory were in- teiesieu, Simula be tried either in thf .-..nn,,- r I . . . - ' S-UJIL, el ; ilaywuod or Macon, as the case midu be nw if Jackson eK.son was a countv " tnnli inm.,., .j purposes," he should like to know how it was that the Sheriffs and Constables of Macon and Haywood executed process within her borders? He aiso desired to know by what authority tho j .... .Ainiita aim . - uuiuies ui ii ay wood and Macon took cogni i zanee of criminal offences therein committed - for he considered it a well-settled principle of j the criminal law of North Carolina, that the counties thereof, respectively, shall have exclu- sive original jurisdiction of all crimes and mis j demeanors committed within their borders, and that nh other county can acquire a jurisdiction thereof even with the consent of the parties, ei- cepi upon amuavus mod disclosing good aud sufficient cause fur a change of venire. He was utilitarian in his notions of things and disliked exceedingly to consume the time of the Senate in discussing what Mr. Benton would call " Goat's Wool."' He thought it wholly im material, so far as the question now before the Senate was concerned, whether Jackson could be considered as it now stands a County or nut. For the Supreme Court of North Carolina had expressly decided that the Legislature had tho power not only to create but to abolish Coun ties not only the right to make two Counties out of one, but the right to make one Countv of two ; and having that power w hich had not been and would not be denied by any one, the only question before the Senate was whether they would exercise it. Well, on that point, it was understood that Jackson County insisted Upun having a member, notwithstanding the fact that there was not half the requisite population with indier borders, and it would be for the Senate to say whether under the circumstances this re quest should be granted. Ho would, however, beg to remind Senators that the immediate ques tion before the Senate was still more practical ; for the Chair had already announced that tho first question would be (as a division had been called for) upon striking out the original bill for the purpose of inserting the substitute offered by tlie Senator from Haywood and he wished Senators to understand that in voting to strike out, they were voting to retain tho County of Jackson, and to pass a supplemental bill to make, it a County perfect and complete. Were they prepared to do this ? If not, they must vote a gainst striking out. Such was the vote which he felt constrained by sense of duty to his con stituents to give and he should discharge that duty, regardless of consequences. Mr. Gilmer said ho would like to be informed by the Senator from Craven, whether if Sheriffs, Clerks, ttc, were taken from any County in the State, it would not still continue to be a Countv? Mr. Washington said he could not well con ceive of a County under the Constitution with- , out suc!l utacers ; but so tar as the immediate action oi tne senate was concerned, tne question i of tho Senator from Guilford was what the Sen , . . i. i ..ti . .ii . ..i- - lllur irom jjuiicoihou wuuiu can a iancy ques- j tioD' or ne would remind him that the Supremo ! Court had decided that the legislature possessed ' lhc power to abolish any county, whether it had tion tnat the territory emDracea eitner Cad, or would have, before the apportionment, the re- ! fluisite P'P"Iation and that be would never have voted to establish any new county in tho East or West, which did not have the requisite ratio oi population. Mr. Gilmer. When this bill was before the Senate on a former day, I moved to strike out the proviso. Ihe Speaker. Ihat motion is first in order. We are necessarily compelled to omit, till our next, the remaindefof tho debate upon this subject. IIOCSE OF COMMONS. Saturdav, Nov. 13, 1852.
