Political conditions whieb havtj existed iinionc us had terminated in w biit miKht not inaptly be termed a pudtica) revolution ia tho Stiite. The election last November was the emphatic expression of a Used determination of the oeeulo of North Carolina that tbe peaeo Had welfare cf the neoplo for tt;o future demanded heroic treivl meut of tb suffrage ia:stion. Every mem ber of tlio anif.rltv of tbb ueuerai Assembly entered m.oi. the duties of tho session witti a recocEiuou ot tins laet and a determina tion to oerfcrui this t'.utv. There were of eiuirso differences ol opinion in regarato tne widest uud hesit manner of dealing with tbe nuestioE. TbePe differences ha-ve been Uis euss.Al fu'Iv, and mutual concessions have been -.wade, and alter loni: ana laborious et- f.irt-. the iutensitv of which will never be known, save b those who engaged in thoa., a common position was reuched, resulting in the nronosed amendment to the constitution. 1 imt it i unt nerfeet none know better or appreciate more fully tuan ourselves; that it is ttu best possible outcome of the situation w bcliivto be true. Wo" oUo believe it is the bajis noon which we may be able to build a safe, stable and intelligent system of suf frage in this Stat-. Wo submit it to the peo ple for their ratification. 'Mauy other important find perplexing question commanded our attention. The care of tho State Institutions educational, charitable and pennl--has received our best attention, and we feel that those selected for their control and management measure up to the hii-'beat staudnrd of competency and fl irlity. No n an has been elected by tbis General Assembly to any position of lionor or trust for which tbo j-eople of tho stato or of tho Democratic party will llDd occasiou foi apology. The inaeh-vex?d question of providing i-y law for separate cars for the races was more complex and difficult to deal with than the verar citizens thought. V.e trust the people will accept tno resiiit arrived nt ns a basis tor something more satisfactory, after two years' experier.ee. Tor the tlrst time ia our history the honses ot the General Assembly in joint ses sion have been caded upon to exercise judi cial functions la bearing evidence and passing up'Mi the removal of public of licers the SVU.'on ease. The terms of law under which we proceeded were far from clear, and the procedure new and untried. That tho members were discharging judicial duties involving determinations of questions of law and fact was conceded by alt; that in the discharge cf the&e duties each member acted in the capacities of judge and juror nd was reuuird upon his oath and his honor to return true verdict and judgment ia equally clear. Whatever the citizens of the State may think of the result arrived at. it is clear that the controlling representatives of the people making it their duty to give ex pression to the will of their constituency, eould net control in thl3 matter: that the im position of such duties upon tbe Legislature is unwise and contrary to fundamental prin ciples of our form of government, which provides for separation cf legislative, execu tive and judicial functions, is admitted, and we have removed tbo provisions, therefore, from our statute books. In dealing with the finances of tne State we have endeavored to be conservative and economicil. That there is among onr pea- v.
