Washing! on, D. 0. , Jan . M. There is a splendid black horse near Roanoke, Va., which is the pride oi that section. Governor Lee, who sits his saddle like a Centaur, rode him at the head of the ..Virginia troops when Cleveland was inaugu rated.. Senator Edmunds, who is a fair rider, and a great horse fancier, heard of this horse and sent his agent to Roanoke to purchase him for his own use. ' The owner questioned the agent, who said he represented a party in Washington. Negotiations went on agreeably almost to the close, when the agent mentioned Mr. Edmunds. "What Edmunds is that ?, asked the owner. "Senator George K. Edmunds," was the answer. "Is he the man you're buying this horse for ?" "Yes." "Well, you can call this business off right away. No blanked Yankee like him is going to put a leg over that horse after Fitzhugh Lee has ridden him.7' So the horse remains uncontaminated, it is to be presumed, to this dav. The Senate spent the day over the extradition treaty and Samoan com plication. Oklahoma engrossed the attention of the House. - Mark my prediction, the Ways and Means committee will not report to the House any bills affecting in ternal revenue legislation this ses sion. Some of the prominent mem bers are beginning to growl about "North Carolina's independent at titude," &c, A:c. This shows their animus and it anything is done, it will.be the result of Col. Cowles' brilliant stroke, which has created so much talk recently. I do not think there is any doubt about Mr. Randall's approval of Col. Cowles' measure, and I anticipate early and favorable action on it. By the way, I did not mean to criticise Col. Cowles quotation about "The Mills of the Gods," etc. A number of poets who stole the idea and almost the words from the old Latin book I re ferred to, wrote it as Col. Cowles quoted it. I think my accom plished friend, Mr. Kingsbury, will bear witness ot the correctness ot my version; of it, as the old black letter Latin book which is very rare, belonged to a mutual friend and I expect he-read it. Mr. R. O. Holt, of North Carolina, w a s to-d ay appointed to a $ 1 ,000 position in the Navy Department. News from the State Capital. Special Correspondence to The Flant. Raleigh, N. C.1, Feb. 1, S0. The session of the General Assent bly yesterday was not particularly interesting. The Senate went into committee of the whole on the public school bill. Mr. Pou was in the chair. The bill was considered sec tion by section and the committee rose before concluding it. Mr. Lusk introduced a bill to change the time fer sheriffs', settlements with the State Treasurv from February 1st to May 1st. In the House a bill was introduced to abolish all the State Normal Schools and to apply the money-now set apart to them to county teachers' institutes. A bill was also intro duced to increase the efficiency of the State Guard by making an ap propriation for thirty companies and appropriating $o,00o annually for encampment. Among the other bills were the following : To establish a State Ag ricultural and Mechanical College for the colored race ; to secure to credit ors a just division of the estate of debtors who convey to assignees for the benefit of creditors ; to prevent drunkenness : to define what persons ma obtain licenses to sell liquor : to allow sheriffs to administer oaths in certain cases ; to limit the appro priation to the State Guard to So,000 a year; (by Mr. Nichols) to estab lish a true meridian in the several counties of the State; , to provide that no person shall be eligible for county commissioner for more than two years in any term of four years. The most important bill was in troduced by Mr. Hoke, in behalf of the committee on penal institutions, with a favorable report This is a bill --to enable the penitentiary to become self-sustaining. Its text is Lis follows : Section 1. That the sum ot $75, 000 per annum, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be and the same is hereb' appropriated from any funds in the Treasury not oth erwise appropriated to support the penitentiary for the' fiscal year 1SS9 S and 1S90, to be drawn by warrant ! it, OAi rr i uu uju ouue -lreaaurer, unuer suen ! rules and regulations as the Board of iiitx-iuis ui iue renuentiary may prescribe, and to be approved by the State Auditor.

Sec. o. That in addition to the $ 5,000 appropriated in Section 1 of this Act.tlie Poad of Directors of the Penitentiary, under warrant drawn and approved-as provided in Section 1, are authorize and empowered'to draw from the funds in the State Treasury, -arising from such earn ings and not otherwise, an amount sutlicient to pay the actual opera ting expense of the Penitentiary and of the convicts under their control and keeping, to a sum not exceeding two hundred and twenty thousand dollars per annum, including the seventy-live thousand dollars ap propriated in Section 1 of this Act, for the fiscal years 18S0 ancl 1800., Sec. -1. That until the gross earn ings so covered into the Treasury under this Act, and the cash real ized therefrom, shall equal the amount drawn from the Treasury for its support, including the $75, 000 appropriated in Section 1 of this Act, it shall be unlawful for the Penitentiary authorities to furnish any convicts under their control and keeping, or under sentence therein, to any person or persons, company or corporation, institution or enter prise, public or private, free of ex pense, or; free of expense except costs of guarding and transportation. And said authorities shall not; be re quired to furnish convicts under any statutes assigning convicts which fix a maximum or other rate of com pensation,: except where contracts have alreajdy been executed there under. - Arid the Penitentiary au thorities are hereby directed to with draw such; convicts from any such occupation. Sec. 5.' rhat in any scheme to make the (Penitentiary self-sustaining preference shall be given to con tracts for able-bodied convicts in' larger bodies hired to the bestj ad vantage, and whenever said Peni tentiary shall reach a self-sustaining basis, the able-bodied convicts not required for such purpose may be furnished to the various counties of the State tp work the public roads thereof under terms and conditions now provided by law. And in plac ing . said Iconvicts under contract the authorities shall not be required to keep them in camps of less than one hundred. ' Sec. G. That nothing in this Act shall operate, or be so construed as to forbid ami prevent the Peniten tiary authorities from furnishing con vict? under existing statutes to finish, in accordance -therewith, that por tion .of the Western North Carolina Railroad known as the Murphy branch, being-that portion thereof ! from two miles beyond the Red Mar ble Gap to! the town of Murphy, in the count yj of Cherokee: Provided, Such convicts so furnished shall be employed to finish such .portion of said road, and not otherwise : nor to prevent the Penitentiary authorities from furnishing convicts to the Roa noke & Southern Road, under stat utes passed at the recent session, under an Act untitled "An Act to amend 'the charter of the Roanoke & Southern Railroad Company, and to enable said, company to complete its road." ' ... Sec. 7. That , in all contracts for placing the convicts, they shall al ways be and remain under the care, keeping and control of agents ancl officers of the State, directly respon sible, to thej State for their official conduct. fete. 8. That so much of Chapter 1G1, Laws of 1883, and Chapter 70, Laws of 1885 ; Chapter 48, Laws of 18$7; Chapjer 190, Laws of 183, as conflict with this Act, and all other latfs and parts of laws inconsistent herewith, are hereby repealed. Sec. 9. Tliis Act shall be in force from and after its ratification. The House disposed of the con tested election case from Jones coun ty vesterday, by seating Franklin F. Green, the Republican contestant, thus ousting:; E. M. Foscue, Democrat, he sittingij member. ' This was a trvinsr caseJ There were eleven mem hers of the committee on privileges and elections; seven Democrats, four Republicans. The latter and two Democrats! made a majority re Green, while five port favoring Democrats i made a minoritv report favbrinc: Foscue. After the vote in favor of the minority report, up sprang Walser, of Davidson, the Republican leader, and made the formal motion to reconsider the vote and lay thait motion on the table, thus "clinching"' the action. This was a reflectjon on the House, which was about o make things lively for Walser. The House had him in a tight place. He crawled out,-amid jeers, by begging leave to withdraw the motion. Among the bills which passed ; yesterday, these were of interest: To renew and continue in torce tne powers of the Durham & Lynchburg R. R. Co ; ; to relieve the Governor from acting as chairman of the State ijoard of agriculture: to amend the law requiring the trustees of the agricultural and industrial college to be equally divided among the polit ical parties, lhe bill to incorporate the Aberdeen and est hnd n. n. Co. passed second reading. Cards are out to the marriage of Miss Ada Virginia llhamson, daughter of Mr. James N. William son, of Graham, to Mr. Owega H. Foster, of this city. The date is the 12th of February. This afternoon there will be a public test of the efficiency of the hre department and of the water supply. Tne direct pressure will be put on. The test will specially interest the members of the Legisla ture. The address on the Supreme Court by Hon. K. P. Battle, will be delivered next Monday evening in the hall of-the House of Representa-j tives and will be heard by many notables. ; Justice James K. Shepherd, of the SjUpreme Court, is here, with his wife, and will reside in this city. He goes upon the beuch next week. Yesterday Associate Justices Mer rimon and Shepherd and Judge loykin listened to the Legislative debates. The members of the House said in their hearing that the Su preme Court decision in the case of Gratling vs." Roone did not amount to anything in their opinion, but that the Legislature alone must judge of the qualifications of its n: embers. About sixty convicts were received at the penitentiary from the coun ties, during .January. This was a very considerable number. The public schools here will close on the 2(.)th of March, it was stated yesterday. The trustees of the University meet here on the 27th inst. The superintendents of the insane asylums at Raleigh, Morganton and Gpldsboro were here 3esterdayr, in conference with the legislative com mittees on insane asylums. , jSo far, no movement for the forma tion of a new county has been felt by the Legislature. It is said that a bill will soon be introduced to erect a new county, to be formed from portions of Richmond and Robeson, wth Lourinburg as the county seat. The drift of sentiment is unfavorable to such projects. --!- -. TOBACCO DEPAKT3IEXT. Alex. Walker, Editor. Durham, N. C, Feb. 1,1889.
