G. as second claas mail matter. FRIDAY, February 1, 1895. "W IN EALEIGH. We went to Raleigh last week. Yes, we did ! The Leg islature is in session too. We saw that much ourselves. Well, we got there Thursday and after getting in and out of the penitentiary? paying our partial respects to the new Treasurer, Mr, Worth, and rak ing receipt for same, and at tending to the inner man, we went up to the Supreme Court room and for a short while ob served the proceedings of the Committee haying in tow a few contested election cases. After considerable cross-tiring, it be came evident that in most cases there was a contest-ant and a contest-ee. That fact being partially . plainly established the committee adjourned to meet at a more convenient sea son. We then went to the Capitol There was a committee meeting in the Senate Chamber and a glorious, semi-hiiarious temper ance Weeding in the House. Tnere was much speech making but on the whole, they were dif- j ferent. Most of them were the faces of good, honest, mis led, well-meaning men who seemed to be wondering how they got there and what they were there for. This simplicity was strongly suggestive of Spring But they were there, and evi dently intended to stay until the the yiing busted. henate met at 11 o'clock. , All Llute a different body Lof ancient historic Rohj, jf Senator, Mr, Forbes, wa?' s seat, dignified and sileLnr .tfd did not seem very deer vj Interested in the pro ceedifc. Our five Democrats took things easily and quietly. Bills passed their readings as if to order. And these two bodies com pose the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina. We went, we saw, we left. And after a flying trip to Goldsboro and Wilmington got home o. k. When shall we see the like again ? OUT AND IN- Mr. Prichard being elected as U. S. Senator made haste to get to Washington, where he at once succeeded Senator Jarvis. Thus ends a short, able and honorable term, ot one of our greatest men, in the Senate. He has tilled the seat made vacant by ft orth Carolina's great calamity, the death of Senator Vance, for a brief period, and leaves it well worthy of the trust and duties imposed upon him. When will we see his liko and enthusiasm.. Too much of ! iu tnp Senate again i both was Republico-Populistic. Unmistakably so. In lact too much politics for effective tem perance. A negro preacher from Greensboro had fused on the subject, and was one of the bijr speakers, being loudly cheered and applauded even hy the white ladies. We left the hall before the meeting closed. Friday morning we went up to see our Legislators legisla ting. The Senate was not in jsession. the House was. We went in. Mr. A. J. Move, our countyman, the clever door keeper, took pleasure in print ing out to us the different noted parsonage.' Our Representa It is with deep regret that the people see him so soon leave it, for -their interest demanded that he stay, but a conglomera !ed. heterogenous, irresponsible mass of humanity auW anoth er to succee i turn And it is everso. How long will it con tinue I May Mr. Prichard nirreenhlv and patriotically disappoint us. MIGHT MAZES RIGHT- I Can the Legislature abolish an office and thus net th- in cumbent out ? We have always heard that a man c uld not be legis'ated out of office until the expiration of his rerm. lives, Messrs .

Fiiday, and having an hour to )mre. we took a peep at that illustrious body and witnessed its proceedings. While this iiiay be the most bri'liant body of men ever assembled at Raleigh (as is claimed by some persons) yet appearances are decidedly against them, for a harder looking set has never before been seen in our c.piiol. Of coarse this does not apply to our Chatham members, for one of them (Mr Self) has been published as jrrijr refiinMing ianiei weosier. That which moat forcibly im pressed us was the leadership and control exercised by the old time Republicans, especially in the House, where the Speaker is a true blue Republican (Walser) and the leaders are the bitterest kind of Re publicans. For instauce, the lead ership seems to be between French, of New Havover, who was one of the noted carpet baggers during the re eonstruction days, and Jim Young, the colored member from Wake. These two seemed to divide the hon ors of being the ablest speakers an-: aspiring loaders of the fusionista. While seeing them controlling and directing our legislation, we could not help recalling the terrible re reconstruction days, when just such men (carpet baggers and negroes) had ulmost ruined our good old State, And to think thai men who had been Democrats and had help ed to rescue tl.e State from the clutches of such men in 1S70, had again placed such men in power and were blindlv following their leader ship! And this is the result of the great '"reform? movement in North Carolina.
