Large audiences witnessed, with great interest, the three sessions of the Baptist State Convention Thursday. At all of the sessions, matters of largo Importance were discussed or at tended to. Some results of the. day's meetings are as follows: The report of the secretary of the Convention shows that $82,508.33 have been contributed to the various objects of the Convention, a gain of $8,000 over the preceding year, and indicates that the present year is the most prosper ous in the history of the Baptist Church in North Carolina. It was found that the Simmons be quest, which amounts to $78,800, to gether with other bequests, will per mit the erection of 10 or 12 new build ings at the Baptist Orphanage, at Thomasville. A layman has offered to give $1,200 for an. orphanage library building, and the churches have been asked by the convention to raise $1,200 more for the same purpose. Dr. J. It.

The House Thursday adopted a reso lution directing the Judiciary commit tee to inquire into the official conduct of Chas. Swayne, judge of the United States District Court for the northern district of Florida, and to "report whether the action of the House is re-ijuisite." Mr. Lamar, Democrat, of Florida, offered the resolution, announcing that be desired to impeach Judge Swayne. A lively debate was had before the resolution wa3 adopted. A number of the members o nthe majority side sought to have the resolution referred to the judiciary committee, that a rec ommendation might be had from that committee before voting on its adop tion. The minority solidly supported Mr. Lamar in his opposition to the motion to refer, and several Republi cans voted against reference. There were but few dissenting votes on the motion to adopt the resolution. The first o fthe appropriation bills the pension bill was reported to the House today and notice was given that it will be called up tomorrow for con sideration. Mr. Lamar, Democrat, of Florida, ris ing to a question of privilege after announcing that he would offer a reso lution in which would be embodied a joint resolution of the Florida Legis lation, said: "In pursuance of that joint resolu tion I desire to impeach Charles Sawyne, judge of the United States District Court, for the northern dis trict of Florida, with high crimes and misdemeanors." The resolution, after reciting in the preamble the reoslution of the Florida Legislature, says: "Resolved, That the committee on the judiciary be directed to inquire and report whether the action of the House is requisite concerning the official misconduct of Charles Swayne, judge of the United States District Court for the northern district of Florida, and say whether said judge has held terms of his court as required by law, whether he has continuously and per sistently absented himself from the said State, and whether his acts and omissions in his office of judge have been such as in any degree to deprive the people of that-district of the bene fits of the court thereon to amount to a denial of justice; whether the said judge has been guilty of corrupt con duct in office and whether his adminis tration of his office has resulted in in jury and wrong to litigants of his oni pt " - . , The resolution further authorizes the judiciary committee to send for per sons and papers and to do otner tnings essential to the investigation.
