A resolution allowing the Secre
tary of State to return to bidders
for the public printing their $500
checks, tlie bids to ne opened in
the presence of a committee
brought up discussion. It was
said". by some that th reason why
the opening of the bid was not de
sired was because the amount of
the bids was not desired to be
made known. - Mr. French opposed
a resolution that the bids etc., be
returned' nnbpehed. . ..Mr. Young
I th? objecled
I ppjjr of their bids. Mr
h of 1)emocrat? said'
, i, tu
the purpose in not allowing the
Secretary of State to open the bids
and return tli3 check was that the
amotin.t'of'the bids might not be
known, as the purpose of the op
; p03jtion was to award the public
printing at a figure higher than
that named iu the lowest of those
bids. -Mr. French asked whether
if a committee opened these bids
could not the 1 owe ft bidder claim
the c infract. Mr. Smilh,of Gates,
said tha.t,the public printing bill
was repealed on the very day that
the bids were to have been opened.
Mr. French said he would join Mr.
Smith iu a request to bidders to
make the bids public. Mr. Smith
said he wanted the bids opened by
the Secretary of State in the pres
ence of the clerk. Mr. Lusk said
the bids, could be opened by the
House or. the Secretary of Sjate,for
they were now the private proper
ty of the bidders. Mr. Young said
no authority Mas needed to return
the bids. Mr. Winborne olVered an
amendment sc the Secretary of
Stats should open the bids in the
presence of his cjerk and make a
record. Mr. French said ths bid-!
ders wanted the bids returned un
opened. He contended that the
Secretary of State had no right to
open the bids. Campbell said that
the House had nothing to do with
this matter, and charged the Dem
ocrats with bringing up this mat
ter in order .to use it in the next
campaign. Peebles said doctors
dilfer and so do lawyers. Lawyers
differ here to-day on this question.
He said the secretary of State was
the custodian of these, bids. He
said the secretary of State had a
lt.gal rirrht to the bids until he was
assured of the owners, for whom
he is really the trustee. He said
there was a "cat in the meal bag,'
and that this was that the fusion-
isS did not want' the lowest bidder
known. This is the secret.
Peebles said no wan led these
Mr.
bids
opened rotMt the people of the I
State could know the lowest bid
made. He.isaid.lhe committee o:
public printing, when it is appoint -edj
ought to have this information.
Mr. White, of Bladen, asked if suit
were brought by the bidders they
could nor recover the bids.' Mr.
Peebles silid that this could be done
because there were checks in the
bids; otherwise wy could not re
cover th;j bids. Mr. White, of
Bladen, said it was not the purpose
of the fusionists to give to bidders
the information contained in these
bids. Mr Busk asked if there was
a secret in thes b'ds wouid not an
injunction lie against theSecretary
of State to prevent his revealing it.
Mr. Peebles said he had never
heard of such a case ; that a secret
was not property.
. Mr. McClannv moved that the
whole matter?; referred to the
committee on judiciary. The
vote was a.paity one; the fusion
ists voting nay. The vote was
ayes 40, noes 5S. The amend
ment requiring the bids to be kept
secret, until after the printing;,
under a new contract, is a warded
was then voted on. Here azain
there was a party vote. The re
sult was ayes 40. noes To. The
quest ion then came on the adop
tion of French's substitute, allow
ing the Secretary of State to return
the bids unopened whenever thn
name of the bidder appears on the
envelope, or in case there is no
name, that they be opened in the
presence of his clerk, and the
checks returned. The substitute
was adopted 70 to 40.
The bill to require the commis
sioners of Pitt county to reduce
the olllcial bond of the sheriff to
$60,000, came up. A bill of the
same tenor caused so much debate
yesterday. Mr. Robinson said
he letter bill was to come before
the committee this afternoon, and
he made the same motion as to
the other bill. Mr. Cox, Repub
lican, said he wanted this bill
considered now, before t he House.
j He made an attack

pointed sheriff, M

c on Pitt's com-
said that the ap-
Mr. King,cfJPiU.
notified by some Democrat, was
here to appear before the commit
tee, and he declared that this con
test was one between Sherill
Arrington and the county com
missioners. Mr. Ray, as a mem
ber of the judiciary committee,
expressed his surprise at the fact
that an attempt was made to get
up this bill. He rebuked Mr. Cox
for the latter's appeal to the pas
sions and prejudices of members,
lie said that the committee want
ed to allow the people of Pitt,
whose characters it had been
sought to besmirch, to be given a
hearing. He said that Mr. Cox
was strangly nervous in his desire
to rush this case, if he had a good
cause. Mr. Philips said the bill
before tho House yesterday was
illegal and hence the bill was
drawn and presented to-day. Mr
Ray said this was undue haste,
when the matter was before a com
' mittee of this house Mr. Phillips
said he liad ascertainad to-day
that the sheriff's b nd had not
been increased, as was alleged
yesterday, ami that he wanted to
appolize for the statements made j
yesterday, which were on informa
tion he hat! Mr. Rny said he was
glad Mr. Phillips had the manhood
to acknowledge that th
charges '
were wrong, and that W per rent.
of the party charges were wrong
and slanderous. He continued
that nothing was done by defer
ring this matter and asked Mr.
Phillips rf this were not true. Mr.
Phillips said he could not deny
this. Mr. Ray said he was not op
posing the bill jf it was meritorious.
Mr. Winboine made an aMo de
fence of the people of Pitt who,
he said, were s: aspersed by the
fusior.ists yesterday, the charges
extending not only to Pitt, but to
all the boards of commissioners in
the State. He said the commis
sioners of Pitt had acted properly.

Rai.kiwh, N. C, .January 1':
The senatorial question in thi
state was settled yesterday after
noon by the nomination ot Ma-jon
Butler to succeed Senator Ransom
for the long term. The populi-t
caucus met in tin; house end of the
capitol and invited the republican
caucus then in the senate'wing to
inc't them in join: session. But
ler was then nominated by accla
mation, without a shade of opposi
tion. Pritchard having Monday night
been named by the republicans
was in turn nominated after But
ler, by the two parties. Butier's
a;ze is 1 and Prichard's '!. It is
thought now that the bitterness
stirred up bv the caucus may
cause some difference between the
Bolton and Pritchard factions, in
the legislature. Moreover, that
the fusion having served the end -
of the leaders, will now turn their
eyes upon themselves and possibly
d rift apart. This is what the dem -
orrats hone for. But now the two
parties nresent a solid front.
The bill to repeal the railroad
commission was introduced by
Kwart, one of the Jat senatorial
candidates, and will be passed.
Then it is thought Butler with
strengthen his cause by putting it
in tlie hands of one man instead
of in the hands of time, as at pres
ent. This is a plan of party pow
er and Butler appreciates it.
A bill was introduced also to a
bolish cardial pinishment in the
state. The fusion program has
been carried out to the letler so far
and it is probable that the rest of
it wiil go through also, and leave
them stronger at tlie end ot th
legislature than thev were before i
Meanwhile the demo -rats tr

Valuable for UieSotitD,
So far as our observation goes,
tlie Manufacturer's Record, pub-
!u,iea at K.iltinu.re, stands upon a
unique pedestal, and the question
presents itself, "Does the South
appreciate what this publication
s doing for it ?'' The journal car
ries broadcast over the country
each week information, valuable
and desirable, etneerning the sec
tion whose interests it has so com
pletely at heart. The North has
no such publication tho West has
not, nor the Northwest, the South
west, the New England States, the
Middle States nor the Pacific slope
yet there can be no question that
these sections would be benefited
through eiforts similar to those
which have made the Manufactur
ers' Record so influential and val
uable. Coining, as it does, as a weekly
visitor in the Free Press oil ice, we
are prepared to attest the hold its
