'". bad siilin.
Will, Betsy, 1 do wish 'you were
hero. The legislature met lat Mon
dav, and I wont up to the State house
o mo it. I went into the Senate first.
It w.n about one hour N-fore it met,
hut I found Maj. Mac Bobbins at his
jxist. Ho was a standing" behind his
desk, holding a bill In his hand. Said
I, how are you, Major?' but he kept
m hiking towards the Sioakers stand,
Mini didn't say a word. I thought he
was studying up a Speech, and so I
didn't say anything more, but I just
watched him. lie kept his eyes on
that Speaker's stand, and he didn't
wink or blink for a level hour. Bimeby
Mr. Warren heeamelimpingalongand
started up to the Speaker's chair. Just
as his foot touched the first tep, Maj.
Bobbins sang out, "Mr. President, I
wi-h to introduce a hill."
Mr. Warren looked at him, sort of
sad like, and he says: "The Senator
from Bowan will please wait awhile."
Then Mr. Warren made a little sicoch
to the Senate, and just as he started to
it down, Maj. Bobbins, he says right
loud, "Mister Provident, I wish to in
IriHluco a bill."
Mr. Warren sort of d rawed up one
-orner of his mouth, and he says:
"The Senator will please wait awhile."
Then he told the Clerk to call the roll
and s-e if they were all there. Just as
the Clerk go't through with the last
name, I heard Maj. Bobbins say:
" Mister President, I wish to introduce
a bill." '
Mr. Warren was whisiK-ring to the
Clerk, and made pretends like he didn't
hear him, hut Maj. Bobbins couldn't
be snowed under in that way, so he
cleared his throat, and he said, real
loud, "Mister President, I wish to in
troduce a bill."
Mr. Warren begun to look mad, and
he said : " Bills can't be introduced yet
the Senate ain't organized."
I looked at Maj. Bobbins and exact
ed to see him sit down, but tjiere ho
stood. Some .of the folks began to smile,
but Maj. Bobbins didn't see 'em. lie
kept a looking at Mr. Warren, and a
holding his bill in his hand.
Mr. Warren then said, "the Clerk
reports a quorum present," and before
vou could wink your eye, Maj. Bob
bins raised his right hand and reach
ing as far as he could over the desk in
front of him, he says: " Mister Presi
ident, I wish to introduce a bill."
I never did see a man look so wish
ful ln-fore, and I did wish 31 r. Warren
would let him introduce his bill, but he
said they couldn't do anything until
they got a message from the House.
But he might as well have loon speak
ing to one of them pillars. Maj. Bob
bins he just stood there. I seen one of
Mai. Bobbins' friends get up and go up
to Mr. Warren and whisper something
to him. I fully expected one of the
in.'inler.swas dead and needed burying
right oil", but none of 'em wan't dead.
Mr. Warren sorter winked at Maj. Bob
bins, and Maj. Bobbins replied in them
Mine words: "Mister President, I
w-a-n-t t-o i-n-t-r-o-d-u-e-e a bill."
Croat drops of sweat won standing on
his forehead, and his words were so
full of pleading tenderness, that they
went .straight to Mr. Warren's heart.
1 kiw a groat big tear of sympathy roll
down .Mr. Warren's cheek. as he. sa id:
" The Doorkeeper. will wait on the Sen
ator from Bowan." I knew Capt. Bob
erson, the Doorkeeper, was getting
mad, by the way he chewed his tobac
co, and just as Mr. Warren said what
he did, Capt. Boberson he started at a j
full run towards Maj. Bobbins. (iuil
n.rd Christinas. Assistant Doorkeeper,
he come a running from the other side
of the Hall, but Capt. Bolerson had the
?-tart of him, and '.would have got the
bill out of Maj. Bobbins' hand, but he
struck his .shin real hard against the
corner of a desk, and waile he was
stooping down rubbing his shin, affec
tionate like,(iuilford jumped clear over
him, knocked oir five or six law books,
grabUtl the bill, and went ofT towards
the Clerks desk, just like one of them
Indians we saw at the l air, when he
got the ball. I've seen Paxton's horse
trt, and I've seen them Indians run,
but Cuilford Christmas can leat 'em
all holler. I never did see a man look
.so relieved like as Major Bobbins, then.
He just smiled all over. I know he
was the happiest man in town.
The , Clerk he got up and read as fol
lows :
" Be it enacted by the Ccneral As
sembly of North "Carolina, and it is
herebv enacted by the authority of the
same, That all the amendments to the
present Constitution of North Carolina
which wfcre agreed on by the Demo
cratic Executive Committee during the
week of the late State Fair, are hereby
declared a part of said Constitution."
That was Maj. Bobbins' bill.
Mr. then said: "Well, I think
its time to adjourn,"aml they all draw
er, their live dollars a piece, and ad
journed. Now, Betsy, I ain't been here long
enough to know anything about par,lia
mentarv law, but a gentleman near me
he said: " That's all wrong. Maj. Bob
bins will have to introduce that bdl
a nin. The Senate c-an't do anything
uTitil the legislature organizes, and
there ain't no quorum in the House of
Commons." 1 do hocif they do force
Maj. Bobbins to introduce his bdl
a g:un, that Mr. Warren won't keep
him waiting so long next time. I am
going to see the House of Commons to
morrow, when I will write to you again,
Bets v.. I am yours,

Senator Graham's Attack on Gov.
Caldwell.
It would keep 'a person constantly,
and diligently, and laboriously employ
ed to answer and refute all the slan
ders uttered by gore-headed Democrats
against Republicans, hence it is seldom
that anv one troubles himself to notice
the malicious attacks made by these
vipers. I hope I may be pardoned for
railing the attention of the public to
one of these attacks by the portly and
dignified Senator from Orange, on
Thursday, upon Governor Caldwell.
Mr. Graham asserted in his remaks
on the floor of the Senate 44 that the
" Board of Directors appointed by the
Governor leased the Road, and that the
State's proxy must have been appoint
ed with the understanding that heirft
!
to confirm the lease." Now, did! the
portly and dignified Senator intend to
make the impression that the Directors
appointed by Gov. Caldwell leased the
Road, and that the proxy appointed
by him confirmed the lease? s Every
candid and truthful man will respond,
ccrtainlv that was what Mr. Graham
i intended to do. The portly and digni
j fktl Senator well knew that the Dirco
; tors and proxy appointed by Gov. C,ald
i well had nothing whatever to tlo jvith
the lease; that they did not organize
and have not organized up to this time.
The portly and dignified Senator far
i titer Ktm that ."the people of North
! Carolina will not believe in thesinceF-
ity of the Governor." The portlykmd
dignified Senator knowing his own lack
' of sincerity feels that every hotly J else
is afflicted with the same moral obliqui
I tv.
; The portly and dignified Senatorial:)
asid that " the great length of theKes
sion of 18G3-'G! was owing to the
i want of parliamentary knowledge on
the part of the presiding officer." I All
! that is necessary to say in reply to jthat
J part of the portly and dignified Sena
tor's speech is to refer the reader Ui the
i Senate Journal 1SGS-'G pages 088 'and
i G.0, where may le found the following:
j Mr. Graham presented the follow-
ing resolution, which was unanimously,
j adopted : I
"Itemhed, That the thanks of Ithis
Senate are tendered to the Hon. Tod It
! Caldwell, President of the Senate,! for
'thedignitv, impartiality and ability
j with which he has presided over its
i deliberations."
Be it remembered, this is the same
Mr. Graham who made the onslaught
upon the Governor in the Senate .Thurs
day, and who said that the great
length of the Session of lWs-'OD Kvas
owing to the want of parliamentary
knowledge on the part of the presiding
officer, Gov. Caldwell. . ; I
The portly and dignified. Senator from
)range must have been very insincere
on the 10th day of April 1800, when he
introduced and voted under oath for the
above resolution, or he must have been
so on Thursday when he made his fierce
leoeh in the Senate. Let him take

editor of The Sentinel, states in his pa

Mr. Turner is one of the most un
grateful men I ever knew. If he will
look at the proceedings of the Senate
before he had my scat vacated in that
body, he will see me recorded as liv
ing voted against the 44 lowest bidder,"
and with the Democratic side of the
house. My reasons forgiving that vote
was not the same, I presume, as jny
Democratic friends. They gave f he
vote to secure Mr. ..Turner the printing,
thinking he could make money j-byl it,
1 had been in the public printing a few
weeks, and got badly bit. !
i Knowing my friend Turner would hot
44 write a book,". I was somewhat like
an old friend of mine in Johnston, who
got broke hv a saw mill. His name
was Jones, and his worst enemy kept a
grog-shop in his ncighljorhood. ; Jones
had tried every way possible to break
him down; a he was a nuisance to the
community. Rut it was to no purpose.
Finally Jones became very friendly
with the grog-seller, and persuaded
him to buv a saw mill. Some one ask
ed Jones why his friendship and id
vice to the grog-seller, after such enmi
ty. "Ah!" said Jones, "if he buys
Jhat saw mill, he is a busted man, and
we will get clear of him and his grog
shop, too." .
' I voted against the " lowest bidder "
receiving the public printing, believing
Mr. Turner would get the printing if
that obstacle was out of the way,'and
if he has not "busted" ana gone oatK
to little "Eno" it is because the long

tincl that auditor Adams refused to audit
an account presented by the public printer,

before the legislature, for investigation.
That looks like a prudent step, and is no

he can't expect to continue to suck the ilab

by a majority of tho Democratic press in

fool who ever pretended to preside as Judge,
but the following paragraph from the Wins-

S have been deceived or misinformed:"
"The inemljers of the bar who have been
practicing before Judge Cannon speak very
complimentary of him as an honest, upright
and courteous officer, who desires to faith
fully and impartially discharge his duty.
His courtesy is highly appreciated by the
bar of his Judicial district, tho more so as
the exercise of such a virtue is so very rare

Judge Cannon simple justice in the follow
ing "Judge Cannon presided with dignity,

The Missouri Democrat, in a well written,
bold and unanswerable leader, thus speaks
in reference; to the administration of Gen.
Grant: "The administration has been bold,
positive and outspoken. Its policy and pur
pose are manifest as the light.. It sustains
the Constitutional Amendments; it enfor
ces tho laws; it reduces taxation ; it faithful
ly collects the revenue ; it pays eight millions
of the public debt, on an average, every
month ; it punishes defaulters with all the
rigors of the law; it economizes in the pub
lie expenditures, so far as consistent with
the public engagements and with the inter
est and prosperity of the nation; it promotes,
in every practicable way, civil service re
form ; and it favors general amnesty just aa
rapidly as the Democratic Ku Klux will
permit."
The Chronicle contains the following piece
of news. We had heard something of the

We do not knowuoi" profess to know, who,
if any, of tlie members of the General As

dence introduced in our courts," that such
an organization exists, and that much per
manent injury has resulted therefrom to the
prosperity of our State, to say nothing of
the pe: sonal wrongs suffered by innocent
men, women and children. We are right
glad to bear testimony to tho fact that thq
term, "KuKlux,!" is becoming odious. That
the "Dens" are becoming disorganized, and
sick, and that many a lion has leen. shorn
of his mane, and become as sheep, hamper
ed powerless to alarm, or to commit fur
ther excesses ; and we entertain tho liveliest
hopes, that all the guilty parties will even
tually be brought to the surface, expose!,
and rewarded according to their crimes.
But we should be equally pained to be ap
prised of the fact, that one innocent man
has been made to suffer for the acts of the
guilty; therefore, we hope the Legislature
will, at ones proceed to purge itself of every
charge, either made directly or indirectly,
of Ku Kiuxism. I t
