The only bill that was of wide interest, and that to the Jng population, was the. bill to alienors on salary, as meutioa. l measures are the rule and y anywhere from thirty-tie j local bills are introduced, at ia the burden of the song: a local bill.

The committee did not take kiualy to it, ana reportea it ad versely, ki ling it there. The bill meant well, whatever its fate. Speaker Graham has a bill in committee that provides that if a woman livis away from tier husband for five years, after be has made tender for her to return to him, shall forfeit her right to dower in his estate. -1 his is claimed to be for the good of the whole state and not intended to relieve some special case; and the introduo r thinks it will help the otnse of keeping down the divorce proceedings. lntrodneWta-Wlde Prlmtrj Law. Mr. Uox, of Wake, has the honor of introducing a bill providing lor the holding of a state-wide primary far all the political parties, and' re quiring all candidates to get petition ers o sigL for hi in to run, and all parties in the state will nave to vote ia the. same boxes, the ballots will be of a different color, so as to dis tinguish. It provides for each elec tor to approach the polling place and announce which party he wants to vote for, and if he naa voted for any other party in two years he can bi challenged and will tVuve to make oath, that he will support the can didates of the party he wants to vote for. The sieuiug of a petition for the other party will bar htm al so. The slate has to pay all the ex. pen ei as if the primary were uie election, and it will be held the tnird Tuesday in August of the year of election in November. All its provisions will make a email book, but you get an idea from the above. Ihere will be some righting done when it comes to be made a law, as it puts the politician partly out et business. It has yet tc pans tne oommittee, and then both houses. alleltoro Salary Bill KlUod The bill to put the solicitors of the alxteen luuiciau districts on a salary, waa after two long flbta, luesoay ana Weaaay aeieateu for good, by a vote of 62 to ' 46. When the bill came out ot tne com mittee it waa for a salary of p.760. anu on ita acoond reading it waa amended totaaa 41JW0, .wfteeuvari- ooa amendments uad Duea offered iuu at mat una u juuttu uae i would pass; but it On objection we. t over to the ntxt day, aud a - sharp aud well denned battle te jk place. m wnion there was much talk, hard earnest talk, pro auil con.' Every vow snowed a disposition to cut down to the lowest aeceuf salary till the una! touch came and the bill waa ou a roll call put on its third readiug, aud the final flung! put ou it by a vote indicated auove. Puy all the solicitors of the siate had uol been here, to hear all the crimes ohaiged to then in the name o the law. borne of their ears would have burned. If the legislature reflects the sentiment of the people, thei thev do not want the state solicitors put on a saiary basis, and stop the abusea claimed and charged, and it is time to quit talking aoout it. Thete ii another route to certain ohaages wanted: the enlargement of the powers of magistrates. Mr. Bhlpaaaa,a Salary Agata. Mention baa been made in these letters of the matter of increase in the salary of Commissioner of Labor and Printiug, as recommended by the retiring Uoveruor, and ot the fact that the house had put it off for further consideration. It came up attain Thursday and produced an interesting fight The committee came back with the $2,500 prqpoai- tion. The bou e came in the eud to the $2,000 place where it left off more man a week ago, and after all the talk, political and otherwise had been had. voted to make it $2,000. The Senate will likelv make it that much. The abuse tnat Mr. Ship man and Mr. Varner got was more damaging than the raise will com pensate for. Citizens of Ooslo Caunty have sent up a petition) asking that James Saunders, coloied, be put upon tne Confederate pension roll, for service rendered at Fort Fuhertn the works and as a soldier. Mr. Koonce says that Saunders is'the old free negro type aud a deserving case; and tbut he is the fint one of the race to ask for a pension. The Legislature has done worse things. Just what is best to do with the general game law is still a debatable question. The Enipie bill to make it unlawful to sell any quail or giouse for a term of two years, has nad a ood following in' the senate side, aud has paused trat body. Many wanted to make it unlawful to shoot any in that time. It is safe to say that there will be some strong game legislation before the end of the session. Altar facdataSa. Mr. Currie, of Cumberland, has introduced and it has passed the house, a bill pertaining to the feed stuffs sold in the stores of the state, known as the concentrated feeds, which is as sweeping in its provia ions as is the fertiliser lw, and gives the Commissioner of Agricul ture the same power as he hu over fertilizers, as to sample and analysis, and provides for the penalties upon such as do not come up to the stand ard, after notification. It wil. most likely pasa the Senate next week, un less held up for some cause! Allowing lfoaplata Jail aa Work. . There have at this session and at others been passeu local bills allow ing pi isoners awaiting trial in jail, to go ou and work on the roads, auu have said time credited on the sentence if any, aud if uot convicted to be paid by the couuty for the time they so worked, jipitie aiiJ Green county have the law, and An son wautedit,and would have got it Saturday, but for the fact that a great raft of other counties tack d themselves to the bill, and Mr. Con nor aai i be was afraid that ther was more in it than seemed, aud asked to have it held tp and teut back to the judiciary commit Want ta Klcet Edaeatloa JBaar. To this time the only thing that seems to be cauaiug any party feel iug to rise, is the ma ter of electing tne boards of education in several countiesA Perhaps a dozen bills by members of the minority have been introduced, and most ot thoi have been killed m committee. Several counties tuvd the right -under law, and these wantiug the change have a precedent.
