THE IiEGISIiiVTURB.
Monday, llth: Senate A bill was
introduced by Gudger to exempt
certain schools from the school book
law. Bills passed: To incorporate
Wayne and Sampson railroad. The
Senate went into committee of the
whole on the revenue bill and when
the section taxing circuses $200 and
each side show $50 a warm debate
followed. The section was finally
amended so as to leave the tax $i00
as at, present.
The court of impeachment conven
ed at 12 o'clock and further hearing
of the case wjs postponed until
Tuursday.
The afternoon session was devoted
to t he revenue bill. At the night
s'-ssion a bill was passed amending
the charter of Charlotte and est'ab-ii-h'tfg
a recorder's court. Tho- rev
enue bill pissed its second readirg.
House: Bills passed; To restore
the old county line between tshe
a.id Wilkes.' The machinery act
passed. An amendment by Judge
Graham for a new assessment this
year was defeated
Bills were passed: To provide for
sale of property for taxes; to incor
porate the Asheville Savings Bank;
to encourage thesale of poultry in
North Carolina; to prohibit export
ing quail from the State; to provide
for a State banking system; the li
bel law.
Night session Bills passed: To
regulate the employment of labor;
to reform young criminals; to allow
warehousemen to give bond; favor
ing election of United States sena
tors by the people; to incorporate
Raleigh & Virginia railroad,
Tuesday, 12: Senate: Bills passed
To levy a special tax in Wilkes; to
pay witnesses attending court of im
peachment and counsel;(This bill was
opposed hut finally the matter was
left in the hands of the Governor:)
to appoint justices of peace in dif
ferent counties. The revenue bill
was taken up An amendment pro
hibiting all slot machines except
those with fixed returns was adopt
ed. The bill to pay the senators $4
per day, while sitting as a court of
impeachment came up. Justice ad
vocated it, saying in part.
Tne constitution says: The court
for impeachment shall be the Sen
ate." When the Senators take the
oath the v are separated from the
legislative and become a part of the
iudicial branch of the government.
fberefore, according to the view of
the majority of the judiciary com
mittee, the Senate can draw pay in
their separate and distinct capacity
as s court, benator J ustice had hes-
ita ed as: a matter of delicacy but it
seemed plain to him as a matter cf
law. The oath taken in the court, of
impeachment is different from the
oath as a Senator.
Senator Henderson would have
been glad if he could have reached
the same conclusion as a majority of
the judiciary committee but h found
no precedent for it in North Caro
Una. Never in the history of the
State bad the Seuate sat apart from
tee House of Representatives. If
one adjourns then the other ad
journed. The House of Representa
lives is supposed to be present
throughout a trial of impeachment;
they are the prosecutors. The con
stitution prescribed that upon the
veraict eacL Senator s name is called
and he answers as a Senator and it
requires two thirds of the Senators
present to qonvict. He argued that
the Senate could nx)t sit apart from
the House and in those States where
the Senate did sit after tne adjourn
ment of the House the Senators were
all elected at one time. The consti
tution is cleaa that Senators draw
their pay as Senators and in the
court of impeachment the members
are still Senators asever so address
ed, and cannot receive pay after 60
days. Senator Woodward made a
strong legal argument in favorof the
bill, but it was passed over.
The Senate passed the primary
election bill providing a legalized
primary when asked for in Mecklen
ourg, Columbus, Cabarrus, Wake,
Guilford Washington, Hyde Pamli
co, Granville, Richmond, Durnam,
Henderson, Orange, Beaufort, Mar
tin, Haywood, Tyrrell and Dare.
At the afternoon session the resol
ution to pay senators $4 per diem

While the House was waiting for
the Senate to complete its work, the
senior member of the Bouse and its
most eloquent speaker, Mr. Jenkins,
of Granville, was called out for a
parting speech. He said that when
he was here forty years ago there
were one or two great leaders, but
the rank and file of the House of
Representatives would not compare
with the ability of the mea of this
body. He said he had never seen an
evidence or suspicion of intoxication
during his GO days' stay here, while
40 years ago inebriety was to be
witnessed every hour iu the day.
He said this Legislature had kept
its pledges to the people. It had
provided for the education of the
children, for the care and nurture of
the afllicted, and for the preserva
tion of the franchise of the illiterate
white man. He spoke of the great
intelligence of the members of this
House and the patriotic industry of
all. He spoke of Graham, Craig,
Rountree, Gattis, Conuor, Allen,
Speaker Moore and several others,
as especially gifted with ail the at
tributes of wise law-givers and
splendid men among the leaders.
Ha closed ia- a magniflcent perora
tion of pathetic, burning eloquence.
At the conclusion of his farewell ad
dress, every member of the House
went forward and grasped the hand
of the beloved and eloquent "Father
of the House," bidding .him good
bye and God speed.

gavel of Speaker Moore fell for th
last time and the House stood id
jouroed until April 3rd.
IMPEACHMENT TRIAL OX.
Juclgte Al'.en Opens forjthe House.
Col. Old's Cor. 15th.
Judge Allen, of Wayne, made the
opening speech for the prosecution,
vhich is required, stated the case
oefore the evidence is begun. Ele
said iu the course of his speech that
there had been influences at. work
creating the impression or spread
tug 1 he report 1 hat the people did
not demand and were opposed to this
trial. That was not a matter of
which tha Senators shou'd take cog
niziuce, for, f von at milting that the
pub!i-. were against, impeachment,
it should not dfter a strict perform
a jce of duty. He did not grant that,
the peoplo were against it and this
impression in liust. instances could
b2 traced te those personally inter
ested. The House of Representa
tives had acted no motive c-xcept the
public good. No Republican had
been denied admissiou to any session
of the committee. ' Again it bad
been said that, this was a small mat
ter, only involving $834; but a vital
principle was involved. Judgo Al
len traced the general history of im
peachment, a power of supervision
the conduct of r fficiais that the peo
pie had reserved to themselves
This right must necessarily be broad
and elastic aud the constitution of
theState so leaves this high preroga
live unhampered. Impeachable of
fences were a violation of thoconsti
tntion, or of law or of an ffioial
oath, or an act committed or omit
ted, or the abuse of discretionary
powers by improper motives. Any
ono of these acts is an impeachable
one by the State. -!"
From a stand point of law and rea
son the implication that David M
Purches is now unimpeachable for
offences committed when associate
justice is fallacious, because an of
ficer cannot escape by cither resigna
tion or the elevation to a higher of
fiee. Four authorities were quoted
on this point, from the United
States Senate and precedents from
.New lork, v iscousm and Nebraska
"Five charges were made by Judge
Alien against the judges:
1. Violation of section 9, artiel?4,
of the constitution.
2. Violation of section 3, article 4,
of the constitution, that no moneys
should be drawn from the public
Treasury except by legislative ap
propria'ion.
3. Violation of chaper 19, section
9, laws of 18'J9. which forbids pay
ment except in a prescribed method.
4. Violation of chapter 21, laws of
1S99. -
5 That in a series of acts duringa
period of two years they disregard
ed the acts and will of the Legi&la
ture.-
Judge Allen gave all the history
briefly of the case and said that the
answer of the ju1ges was a remark
able document, combiuing the learn
ing of the lawyer, the skill Df the
diplomat and the craft of the poli
can ihe answer denies charges!
und'2, which Judge Allen then an
swered. He said that the same pow
er which could make an appropria
tion could withdraw it. There is no
right of th people more jealousy
guarded than that of control over
the purse strings of the State. John
Randolph and others were quoted.
The power of the people to hold the
public purse mide impotent the
sword of the king. The acquisition
of this right was dearly and pre
ciously secured. It was derived iu the
early years when the King said to
the Commons: ' Give ma mony."
and the Commons said: "Not until
some, wrong is redressed " The ju
diciary is now. according to authori
ties, the weakest branch of the gov
eminent. The safety of ihe State
demands that the right of the Legis
l.iture to make appropriations shall
be meiutained. Jefferson gave many
warnings in his writings against the
encroachment of the judiciary.
Judge Ailen called attention to
the conduce of th3 judges in issuing
the writ. Why, if nothing wjs
wrong did not the judges order the
writ issued in open court instead of
going to the cleru priva;ely aud so
telling him md hesitating in public?
He argued that th-3 docirin of Hok
vs. Henderson vs dangerous and
had been carried to an extreme. The
judges have gone further than car
rying this doctrine to an extent
where it is almost impossible .to
abolish a public office in this State,
and have violated two sections of the
constitution and two statutes of the
Legislature. The House managers
for the people asked that these
judges bo tried as other men aud
when proved guilty of these charges
convicted.

liussia Causes Uneasiness.
Ptkin Dispatch, 12,
The mimslers' meeting today dis
cussed the question of punishment
of the provincial officers primarily
rerpousib'i j for the boxer troubles
To the surprise of everybody the
Russian minister objected to further
puuiahmeut of Chinese officials no
matter ho v guilty. This is the first
decided break in the coucert of the
powers. The Russian minister got
his orders from St. Petersburg. It
is understood that he was instruct
ed toaid China in every way in re
turn for China's signing an agree
ment recognizing Russia's predomi
nence in Manchuria.
The Chinese peace commissione
have endeavored to minimize the
agreement in the hope of creating
discord am ng the ministers. The
position of America and Japan ii
regard to further punishment cf
officials is upcer'tain, but all the otb
er powers lavor the infliction of
punishment except Russia. Most o:
the foreign ministers believe punUh

Russia is expecting the arrival of
further troens, and when they fcr

in the Gulf "f Pechili. mainly as a
warning' to Japan to keep hands off
if she has any idea of hindering Rus

tha't at present there is one hundred

Peace In South Afriea Seems Nearej.
New YorkCommercial.
It is devoutly to be hoped that the
pendiug negotiations between the
tJriiish and i be Boer commanders in
South Africa may lead to the speedy
coasummati. n of peace. A war that
most of the world has looked upoo as
absolutely unnecessary, aud of whk-h
it had been most confidently pre
dieted that it could not possibly con
tinueover s'x months, has dragged
itsjslow leng h a'ongover a period of
a year and a ha.f, with a sacrifice of
life and property and a waste of en
ergy that are appalling.
Aside from all political considera
tions and those of sentment or sym
pathy, the purely economic and com
mercial questions involved would
seem to make it imperative that
this waste should stop. It is para
lyzing the development of a rich
country and setting back the civili
zation of a whole continent, while at
the same time impoverishing the
treasury of Great Britain and im
posing taxes on her people, the bur
dens of which may yet lead to most
serious consequences.
Whether just or unjust, Great Bri
tain's terms must inevitably ' be ac
cepted by the Republic of South Af
rica. It would have been wiser to
have accepted them a year ago.

The Philadelphia Times says;
Lewi' Fries, twelve years of age,
has the peculiar distinction of bein
shot by the rabbit he was hunting.
Fries was with his father and broth
er, and they chased the rabbit into
a hole.. While each one was watch
ing one of the three entrances to the
hole the rabbit came out of one of
them and, hopping upon the gun
which the boy had thrown down,
struck the trigger with its legs and
discharged the pun. Both barrels
were emptied into one of the. boy 's
legs, but he was not dangerously
hurt. .

A Record to B Proud Of
Chatham Record. 1 .
Our present Legislature has done
more for the cause of educatiou ii;
North Carolina than any of its pre
decesors. ioweyer much it may be
criticised or any of its other acts, it
certainly should receive the hearty
approval and commeudation of all
good citizens for its action in so
greatly promoting the cause of edu
cation. It has begun the fulfillment
of the pledges and promises, made
by the advocates tf" the suffrage
amendment to our State constitti
tion, ihat every child should have ai
opportunity to.Ie.irn to read write.
It will be no fault of this Democratic
party, if every child in the State
does not go to school for at least
four months in every year.
In the first place, the new school
liw enacted by this Legislature
generaly conceded to te the best ev
er enacted in this State, and is one
of the best in any State of the
Union. It will give an impetus
throughout the State to the cause
of education that will be of incalcu
lable benefit for years to come
In the next place, the funds pro
vided for education are much grea er
in amount than ever before. While
the usual school tax on property and
polls has not been increased, ye a
largely increased amount' will be
raised from license taxes.
By a practically unanimous vote
the Legislature has appropriated
two hundred thousand dollars a year
to the public schools This is in
addition to the regular school fund.
Ooe half of this appropriation will
be expended ouly in the counties
whose schoool terms are not four
months. That is, it will be used in
equalizing' terms of our public
schools, by helping the poorer
counties.
In addition to this appropriation
for the public schools, increased
nonronriations were made to the
I State's higher education institu
tions.
