Mrs. Sena- tor Vancc presided verv rraeefullv yesterday over the Ladies' Historical Society.; Her niece, Miss Cooper, a sister of the estimable young gentle man, Mr. Jlarver Cooper, who died at 1 'Gombroon" about a year ago, is spending the winterj with her ' '' -J: ..'!' ' ' ; Vice-President -Morton yesterday visited the room of the President pro tempore of the Senate, and j was there coached in the general rules of procedure as observed in the Senate. As nearly everything in that body is done by unanimous consent, Senato rial courtesy or precedent, , rather than by an inflexibly set of rules, the position oi presiding officer of the Senate to elect is by no means ardu ous. It will be necessary for the Senate to elect a. President- pro tem pore when the Vice-President absents himself, without designating the pre siding; officer. So Mr. Ingalis, it is understood,1 will be selected by his colleagues a few days alter the meet ing of: the next Congress, provided the Vice-President gives the opportunity- l)y absenting; himself. How ever. ' as President pro tempore with the Vice-President regularly acts as presiding officer lie will not receive the additional $3,000 per annum,, which as .President pro tempore with out a Vice-President he has received for the past two years. Mr. and Mrs. Morton called on the President and Mrs. Cleveland yesterday i ' i i Everybody here has a good word to say for the members of the X. C. Legislature. Their choice of Senator Ransom is heartily ; endorsed,. The ruxe of lion. William Henry Harrison Cowles in getting ahead of the Ways and Means Committee is still the talk of the hour. He has undoubtedly created a sensation, and what will be the outcome of it is more than I can say. I am told the example he set is to be followed when the Senate tariff bill gets to the House, i. e. an effort will be made to refer it to another Committee than that of Ways and Means. Congressman John Nichols is get ting Lstrong backing for' Public Printer under Harrison. A number of Representatives have endorsed him and lie seems to be the choice of the'- International Typographical Union. . In this connection I am reminded that the Croftxman, the organ of the International Typo graphical Union, published in this city, contained an editorial yesterday on the Contest for Public Printer now going . on in Raleigh in which Josephus Daniels' administration of that office; was most heartihr en dorsed. The paper, looking at it merely from a printer's stand point, said Mr. Daniels had done the work well, had used the best material and paid living wages to the working men. Speak- ling of the candidacy of j. A, Har well, it gave Mr. Harrell some hard licks, and said if he got the print ing the State might expect "rat'' printers, poor paper; and bad work manship in every department. I don't khowr anything about the prac tical part of the work, but Joe Dan iels is my choice first, last and all 'the time. I have written for his paper three years and I have always found him an honest, courteous, conscientious gentleman, faithful in his owrij work and appreciativ of the work of other people. Such men deserve and will ultimately achieve success. Representative Davidson, of Flor ida, has just returned from Char lotte, N.

Special Correspondence to The Plant. Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 21, 'SO. Governor Fowle lias respited lud Anderson, of Goldsboro1, until -the 22d of February. Anderson mur dered a man named Porter, in a most cold blooded manner last; sum mer, and for that crime was under sentence to bo hanged next Friday. The respite is granted! lor good reasons. ' .' I There is a good deal' of interest felt in the matter of appointments which arc in the Governors hands, mainly that of president of the At lantic fc North Carolina railroad of Adjutant General and of the direc tors of the State institutions. Your t; ! t correspondent has reason to believe that there will be lew ehinges. ThejLegislature on Saturday sat heavily down on a- Radical scheme to repeal the count x govtirnmcnt law, in the shape of a bill "(o allow the people I to elect their own j officers." Of course the Radicals voted for the bill, yet one ot them told your cor respondent that in committee he had voted against the bill, that is signed the report against it. With equal heaviness the House satdoWn on a bill to take, away the sum now appropriated to the IptaU Guard and give it to the ex-Confed erate pensioners, the Radicals in troduced this measure apd voted for it. i . Everybody in the Legis to be ; happy. The and tiresome resolutions ature ought everlasting 'instructing our Senators and Representatives in Congress to spare no pains to secure a repeal of . the internal revenue and tariff laws," have by a unanimous vote been adopted.- The; most mar vellous feature was that! the House did this without bluster or speech- making. In the Senate some discourse on the Two years ago, or four mere was resolution, vears ago, there would have been many hour debate. r' Will North Carolina be 'represented at the inauguration of President Har rison ? The State should have some military representation. The Gov ernor's!; Guard would like to . attend. There will of course be many North Carolina visitors. 'J The ; weather prophet predicts a large quantity of bad weather and abackward spring. - 'Winter has realh only just now set in. Some choice tobacco is now being marketed here. Business in the leaf ; department is quite active. The plug factories have all they can attend to. It is probable that in the course of the present year, the agricultural building will be remodeled. It cer tainly needs such attention. Only the laboratory and museum wing is now properly arranged. This week preliminary work be gins on the Postal Telegraph Com pany's line, which is to extend from New York to Galveston. From Pe tersburg to Raleigh it will follow the county. roads. This telegraph sys tem is owned by Bennett and Mackay and is operated in connec tion with the Bennett-Mackay Com mercial cable. It will be some weeks, perhaps months, before the wires Will be strung and the Wes tern Union will have a rival. Very;- great improvements have been made in the fire department here, and there was never j so much esprit-du corjjs. Chief lngel hard's methods are admirable and Raleigh folk need have little fear of fires. The 'question as to whether the public schools will close March 1, or will be kept in operation until the regular: term ends,, has not yet been settled.! The people desire -a full term. It is in contemplation to build a new arsenal and tear away the pres ent small one, wdiich only disfigures the capitol square. The State needs a large and properly constructed ar senal, for its ordnance and quarter master's stores. It is important to have these at all times in proper shape for instant use. Room should he provided for a battery of breech loading rifled guns and also for a battery of gatlings, both of which should always be kept here, in readi ness for any emergency. Much interest is felt in the action' of the Legislature in the matter of a railways commission. - Of course it is a foregone conclusion that there will be a commission. There will be nevertheless an interesting debate, for there will be some opponents who will fight the bill. Then as to the appointment of the commissioners that also is of interest. Appar ently the railway people are lan guidin reality they are very much on the alert.
