Cook presented as an amendment -the original bill which had passed the House. - This of course came up for a vote first. It was defeated by a vote of 50 to 63. Then the filibustering by the--anti- lease men began, and continued until 12 I o'clock when, on account of the Sunday law prohibiting the transaction of any eort of business on the Sabbath, the mo tion to adjourn was carried. The day had been a stormy one. , All day long the tide of battle had raged and ever above its crest was seen thf rod beard of Charier Cook, the grey locks of Hancock and the youthful face of McCrary. . Now and then the piping voice of Sutton, of Cumberland,"could be heard or Blackburn was thrown into the arena to keep up the fun and racket with his little Ashe county bark. Scenes of rioting and disorder had become common, ana uniess bolukuuuj was calling somebody else vile names and pnonnring the Sneaker as unfair ar.d tvrranical, the proceedings seemed tame The galeries were packed -with people all day. The lobby likewise was crowded up to o'clock in the afternooD when the disorder became so great that it was ordered cleared. -After that only a - few choice spirils, such as Col. Andrews' private secretary, were admitted. From early morning till midnight mem bcris did not leave the building, and both sides declared their intention of fighting the thing out if it took all summer. ECHOES FROM THE FIGHT.

Whereupon they had the audacity to offer a bill asking Hie Legislature to endorse and ratify the terms of the mid-night deal j which they call a lease, in every respect except as to the term of years. In shoi t, 'they had the cheek to ask the Legislature, which is supposed to represent the! people, TO ENDORSE IN BROAlIAyrLIGHT THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY WHICH WAS COMMITTED IN THE DARK. This bill, which was a bill of sale to the iSoutharn Railroad,' they passed through the Senate by a majority of two votes. . This bill went over to the House the same House which ten jdays before had stood by the people .with a majority of 6 but behold, daring lhis period the Southern Railroad had done its deadly and damnable work in that body, the Southern Railroad had a majority of 13. Then it was that those who Were yet un comtaminated by monopoly influence pre -vented the passage of the railroad bill to endorse the lease, by every parliamentary tactic that brave, true and heroic repre sentatives of the peopte could bring to the rescue. And here is the people's victory. "But the railroad people claim that they put you in a hols when you voted to table the bill with the 10 perj cent amend ment." - I "Yes, but thep eople will remember that when "the 10 per cent amendment to the railroad bill was offered in, the Senate every friend of the people (voted for it an;! that every tool and hireling of the Southern Railroad voted against it. But last vote in the House showed, that the Southern 'Railroad owned a majority of 13 in that body, and hence" would vote down all amendments. Thereforeif they ever brought the bill to endorse the lease to a vote, they would pass it and have the State, through its legal, though faithless, representatives, committed to the infamous bill as it came from the Senate. Hence, the true representatives This terrific assault of combined capital against popular rights will arouse the peo ple of North Carolina. They .will settle with these alien money nabobs in 1898. And before that time, if I am not mis taken, they will hear from five gentlemen over the street there (pointing to the Supreme Court), all of whom are incor ruptible and intrepid judges, who will not wear the collar of the monarchs and man eaters of Wall and Lombard streets.
