Fellow-man, a moment linger,
On the dyins printer's speech ;
For it bears a weighty lesson,
Our unheeding hearts to teach.
Day by day thou art composing
What a Universe shall read;
Type to typo are ceaseless setting
As thou addest deed to deed.
Ah, how suroiv life's full column,
When the hand that sets, them lies
Fixed in an unbroken stillness,
Their composer advertise.
Soon the forms are locked forever.
Changeless shall the impres'n be:
Scan thy proof in time, o. Printer!
Thou art near eternity.
Are the "ads" all right, Composer,
Art thou stanbing "justified?''
Heady now for death and judgment,
Their unfoldings to abide?
So shalt thou aa night advances
Gro'tthy unstaying pr'ssm'n's cil
Then await the morn eternal,
Publishing thy life to all.

The President announced that!
the hour had arrived when the Sen
ate ua to sroceed to the House of
Representatives and canvass the
vote for Senators. The Senate
then proceeded to the House.
On re-assembling the Senate
proceeded to the consideration of
the bill to restored per cent. as the
legal rate of interest.
Mr. Adams, after congratulating
the Senate that this was a matter
m which politics would not hear
any show, that it was an end that
all men ar woiking to attain, ad
dressed the Senate in advocacy of
the Abeil bill and in opposition to
the amendments. (The bill makes
0 per cent, the legal rate and re
peals the clause that allows S per
cent, by special contract. The
Moody amendment allows the S
per cent, to be paid by special
contract and makes it a misde
meanor to charge more, punished
by fine and imprisonment or both.)
He said his objection to the a
mendment was that it would not
touch national banks, but would
apply only to individuals and sav-
ings banks of the State ; that if
discriminated against them. He
reviewed the usury laws of the
State and quoted from decisions of
the Supreme Court of theState
and the United States.
Mr. Moody, of Haywood, ad
dressen the Senate in favor of his
amendment. He thought the law
would reach the otllcers of nation
al banks,
Mr. Adams interrupted him to
say that in 1S10 this identical law
was passed except that it did not
provide for imprisonment, made
the penalty a tine,and in two years
afterwards the Legislature repeal
ed it because it would not vTork.
Mr. Moody insisted that if the
officers of the bank could be made
effective ; he distinguished between
the officers and the corporation.
He would voe for the Abell bill if
he could get nothing better.
Mr. Carver agreed with Mr
Moody and Mr. Fowler followed in
the same line.
The debate lasted until 3 o'clock
Mr. Moody's amendment was vot
ed down and a substitute, ottered
by Mr. Cook, of Warren, was a
dopted,all save two members( Abell
and Sigmon) voting for it. It
makes C per cent, the Tate of inter
est. Mr. MeCasky followed Mr. Fow
ler and asked is the amendment
prevailed if it would reach a case
where a premium had been paid
by agreement between borrower
and lender. Mr. Mewborne said
he tavored the passage of the Abell
bill. He did not tnink the Senate
should take up its time discussing
penalties ; pass this bill and you
would appease the people. Mr.
Sigmuu was opposed to interfering
with the law at all. If you want
to borrow money you cau't force
men lo loan it. It cuts both ways
and if he chose to pay S per cent,
or a premium he ought to be al
lowed to do so. Mr. Dolby said
that it seemed that the object of
the bill was to protect small bor
rowers. ' FTom his observation if
the small borrower wanted money
ha usually had to go to a lawyer
who charged $5 to $10 fee for plac
ing it the 'norrower paying it.
Moody's amendment was lost.
Mr. Cook offered an amendment.
I Mr. Rice moved to recommit. Mr.
. I M.oii nilo.l for the nves and navs.
mendment was adopted
Mr. Star-
buck offered an
amendment that
upon charging a greater rate than
FEB. 1 , 1895.
C per cent, the lender shall forfeit
th whole dbt, principal and in
terest. Mr. Dowd moved to ro-re-ter
the whole matter. lie favored
a 6 per cent, law, but thought the
bill should be perfected. The Sen
ate declined to re-refer. The ques
tion recurred on the amendment
of Mr. Starbuck. Mr. Rice called
for the veas and nays. Ordered
The vote stood yeas 5, nays -14
-n - i ... ..
the bill passed 45 to 2.
. The Senate then adjourned.
The following is Mr. Cook's sub
stitute: 'That the legal rate of interest
shall be b' per cent, for such time
as interest may accrue, and no
more ; that violation of this rate
shall involve a forfeiture of the en
tire mteiv.st. and that th' party or
corporation by whom a greater
rate of interest has been paid may
recover back twice the amount of
interest paid in an action for debt.
Such action must be begun within
two years after tne payment of the
indebtedness. That in action to
recover on such note the party a
gainst whom the action is brought
may plead as a counter-claim the
penalty above provided, viz.: twice
the amount of interest paid, and
also the foifeiture of entire inter-
est."

At 10 o'clock the House Mas

the public laws concerning the a
doption of certain school books ;
Mr. Burnham, to restore to the tax

to amend section 1050 of The Code,

16S7; Mr. Yates, regarding the
change of time of holding Superior
Courts in Richmond county; Mr.
Ewart, to reduce the pay of clerks
and door-keepers of the Legisla
ture from $5 to $4 a day
Mr. Smith, of Gates,' rose to a
question of perso.ol priveledge
and lead an editorial in the Cau
casian criticising the minority in
the Honse in contested elections
cases and charging that the minor
ity wasted time bv dilatory mo
tions, ets., and also with obstruct
ing legislation. Mr. Smith said
this was a plain mis-statement and
misrepresentation cf facts so far
as he was concerned. He said the
xiie queauuii recurreu upon me j sian article dm him also a grent
passage of the bill as amemled by j injustice in referring to him in
Mr. Cook. Mr. Cook demand-d these election cases as he had tak
the yeas and nays. Ordered and : en no part in them. All the Demo-
editorial was either a threat to
thos. whose seats were contested
or else done to aroue prejudice a
gainst the minority. He said his
desire to do his duty was greater
than his desire to keep his seat,
anil that the writer of the editorial
had certainly a low estimate of the
duties of members. Mr. Payne
also roso to a question of personal
privilc-dye, saying that the Cauca-
. ........
crats desired was not to obstruct
legislation but to put themselves
on record. He said he believed
tii" fusionists at least desired to be
lair. lb' saiil a sitting member,
evt-n if his seat was contested, must
not be put in a state of duress.
He declared he should never lhnch
from any duty. Mr. Peebles an
nounced that t j-niorrow he would
rise to a question of privilege on
the same editorial.
Mr. Kuait, chairman of the
committee on elections, tiled the
majority report in the case of Ab
bott vs. Daniels, from Pamlico
giving the seat to Abbott. Mr.
MoClammy made a minority re
port in favor of Daniels. Mr.
Ewart suggested a limitation of
debate to three-quarters of an
"hour to a side. Mr. Peebles said
any member had a right to apeak
a certain number of minutes. Mr.
Ewart said that if a reasonable
agreement as to time was not made,
it would put him in such a posi
tion that he would have to call the
previous question. Mr. Peebles
said he could not agree to such a
proposition; that the minority re
port was before the House, and
was in charge of Mr. McClammv
wliii had the right to'dem.vnd the
previous question. Mr. French
said that Mr Ewart had the lloor
as chairman of the committee, and
thatthe minority report was mere
ly an amendment. Messrs. Ewart
and McClammy then ageed on an
hour and a quarter on each side.
Mr, McClammy said that he was
informed that afbrr the sub-committee
of the elections committee
had taken tb.' case, witnesses had.
without notice to contestee's coun
sel, been before that sub-committee
and had given evidence. He
asked if this were so. Mr. Ewart
said that at night session of the
committee one witness was called,
swoin, and was asked two or three
questions as to the fact that a cer
tain man was a ticket distributor.
Mr. McClammy said all proceed
ings must be strictly legal.
At noon the debate was suspend
ed and the Senate entered, headed
by its President, and the canvass
of the vote for United States Sen
ators was entered upon.
President Doughtor called the
joint session to order and directed
the clerk of the Senate to read so
much ot the Senate journal of yes
terday as. referred to the election
of United States Senators. In
direction of Speaker Walser the
cJerk of the House road the partj
of the House proceedings bearing
on the same subject. A great
throng of people,coinplete!y filling
the lobbies and galleries, witnessed
the proceedings, many ladies be
ing of the number. President
Doughtou announced that the jour -
nals showed that the votes cast
were as follows: Butler 117 Mason
45; Pritchard 110, Overman 45.
Speaker Walser said that it ap
pearing that the two houses had
thus elected Senators, the President
of the Seriate and himself declared
Pritchard and Butler dulv elected
isolators ot the United States.
President Doughten declared the
joint session ended and the Sena-
tors returntd at l'-'O to tbeir own
, , 4. i
end of the capitol.
, r , r, ,
Mr. Ewart then spok in support
r
i to the majority report in the 1 am-
lico election case. He said the re -
fuming board did not deny Ab -
j bott's election. Mr. Ray attacked
the majority report andsaidit was
the plan to unseat every Democrat, j
Mr. Peebles asked for the reading
NO. 40.
? ' : rzioif
of the evidence in this case. Mr.
Ewart objected to this and hinted
that such privileges might be used
for obstructive purposes. Mr.
Peebles denied any such purpose
Mr. Turner, of Mitchell, asked it
the evidence was not printed. Ho
was told no, Mr. Peebles then
asked for tho reading of the part
of the evidence on which the ma
jority based its report. Mr. Lusk
said he wantod that part of tho
Ten Commandments read which
says "Thoti shalt not steal." Mr.
Peebles retorted: "1 havo no
doubt that you need to havo thorn
all read.'' Mr. Cox denied that
the purpos" of the elections com
mitteo ;is to throw out all Democrat--,
lleaeeus. d Mr. Ray of a
rotisfng prejudice every time ha
spoke. Mr. Cox said and sort of
ballots ought to be r-mnted, no
matter what the color of the paper
or the design, lb' aid the only
thing to be done was to count the
vote for the man for whom the
voter cast it. The majority re
port was at 3:30 adopted ; 00 to
43.

Acalimt Confederate Ien
HionerH. So Major H. L. Grant, who him
s.'lf draws a pension trom the Yan
kee side of the line, although able
bodied and unwounded, yesterday
introduced a bill in the State Sen
ate to repeal the act pensioning, at
a poor pittance, the wended Con
federate soldiers of this State. H
would take trorn them, wounded
ami maimed, helpless and staving
though they be, the poor pittance
that their own Stat'. has provided
for them and which iheir own
home people willingly pay, while
he himself draws a Federal pen
sion for helping to wound them at
the head of a negro regiment!
And this is the man whom many
old Confederate soldiers voted for
in the lat:. election on the Fusion
ticket against Ren Apco:k for tho
Senate, and by whoso votes he waB
elected. This is how he repays
them. He and Marior. Buttlex
