The grcalcr part of yes'erday after noon was spent by the committee Id discussing the mailer. The rueellug waa hold in tbe Senate Cliamlier and hall was filled with those Interested in the matter. Senator Waid of Wellington was prom inent iu tuudiscussiou and lost no oppor tunity in pressing forward tbe necessity of the law. Tho duslro for this so called "Jim Crow" law was unanimous but the wish was to put no unnecessary burden on tne railroads where on imall LralnB they would be compelled to run no less than four passenger cars, two first class for while and colored and two second class for while and coloied. To compel the railroads to run nearly empty coaches nt a loss was justly deemed un fair but how to arrive at a solution otherwise wits the question Hint caused much talk. Various suggestions were olfered to meet this. It seemed to be agreed that certain western imikUhIiouUI he exempt fiom I lie op mliou of the law as neecsiiry. Kounliee of New Ihui.'Vi r wanted it arrauu.! ho llml a I nun eou'd be made up of three ran as follows, one first class white, one tir.H clas eoljied, one second class for w hile ami colored with a partition iu the middle, .and the condiicioi in have I he power at his dis cretion of l raiiferilng any ovcrllow of second class pa-seneis to the first class cars without liieiense of fare Another solution was to have only one class fares which would require but two cars, hut no one would advocate raising the 2 cent rate or reducing the first class fare to cents a mile. What seemed to most people the best plan was that olfered by Senator Bryan, lie proposed one lirst class car for whiles, one second class car for whiles, and one car for colored divided Into first and second class. Of course no plan could lie perfect under the circumstances and to Senator Bryan's plau it was put forward as an objection that if the law was lirouirlil before JuiIl'o l'urnell he would declare against it. ? Finally as it was getting towards niiihl. a siib-coinmitleo was named to report at 3:30 o'clock tomorrow. The names selected were Allen, I'allersou and Jerome, but before adjourning the committee voted "that it is the sense of this comuillloc to have separate cars provided we can get a satisfactory law." This was a sort of pledge to the State that they meant business but Intended to lie just at the same lime. When the report came in from the committee on elections, Senator Camp bell requested that action on the report In the contested election cases from the Thirty first District be deferred until to morrow, as he was preparing a miuority report, which he would submit for the consideration of tho Senate. This was sreed to. Tbe following bills were Introduce in the Senate. By Senator Skinner, ' to amend the act relating to the Fish, Oys ter and Indusliial Association. By Sen ator Bryan, to authorize the commission era of Craven county to set aside i eiukins: fund for Indebtedness, and tbe bill to Incorporate the city of Now Bern passed a Anal reading. Tbe bill to amend, consolidate aud codify tbe insanity laws uf the Slate came up at 13 m., having been set as a special order (or Hi consideration. It waa moved that the Senate go Into a committee of the whole and take up each piovislon of tbe act separately. This motion was car ried and Untenant Govornor Reynolds i ailed Senator Smith to tbe chair. Tbe bill was read by tbe clerk with the un ierstaudlng that all sections not demur red or question id should be considered aa passed. After - considering the bill until 9 O'clock Ibe senate adjourned, Tho following bills wen introduced In tbe House. JUy Winston, to repeal tbe act of 1807 by which tbe fuslonlsls took control of the Agricultural aad Mechanical College, ftalolgb.

To get the Governor to put In writing bis actions la penitentiary affairs arter the Investigation, looks like crowd ing the mourner. How can he defend and yet how can he confess? x The really most Important matter in the House nn tbe pan food bill was ex plained by Patterson of Caldwell, saying it WSJ a step In tbe right direction; and that the law waa in force in many States; that coffee was found to be adulterated ttfper cent, vinegar 94, flour 16, canned vegetables 2.1 per cent, tbe average adul leraliou of all samples being about 40 per cent. He called attention to the fact that It is tbe poor people who suffer greatly from adulterations. Holinan said that Uiero was a crying need for such a law. The law requires adulterated food be so brairded. He said a firm in North Carolina is now grinding and sell ing a flour adulterant made from soap- stone. Hill feed 1-8 sawdust is shipped and sold here. Cnrrie of Bladen introduced a bill to repeal the law creating ajdlspensary for Bladeu couuly. Cur.e said tbe people Blndeu were n unit for repeal the liquor dealers, the luluisiery, the mooo- ihiners, &c, and that the man in charge of the dispensary was incompetent, and the liquor mighty bad, w itlins adulter ants fusil oil, coal tar, keroseno and tobacco. This caused a loud smile. The joint caucus last night took into consideration tbe interest question. It was decided to make no change in the present six per cent law. l'rof. J. A.

Journal Huhrau. I Ralbioh. N. C., Feb 2. ( The matter that excited the most in terest yesterday in the Legislature was the hearing before the committee on the proposed new county of Scotland. The committee met in the House and even i he galleries were filled. The proposal Is to divide the county of Richmond, making the more eastern part into Scotland county with the county seat al i.aurinlmrg. The hearing lasted several nnurs and was adjourned nt (1 o'clock until tomorrow without a vole being taken. The people of the interested section were present argument ran high. in force and the The idea of the much time is re- divirion is that too ulred and at too great expense to reach the county seat at Rockingham from Ihe remote parts of the county. U the last election the county went Dcmiicialic one thousand, an unheard f victory. It is asserted by some of the iiiens that if division had been talked ful that lime, there would have been o such victory. Tho arguments were il hot ami personal at that. A lengthy discussion took place in the Senate over the minority icport of Senator Campbell in the contested seals fllin:t4lh district. Campbell wanted the rn'iialc to go into a commitlitf of the lole and allow the case to he argued by the lawyers. This was strongly ob jected to and in tho end I,ainliei t and Haves were sworn In and took the seals acated by their opponents. The consideration of the bill to amend the insane laws of the Stile also was lilierallv discussed. There still remained III provisions of Ibis bill to be consul ered. A bill w as introduced in tho House to make an annual appropriation of $ 20,000 for the Hlato Guard and forming the Guard into three regiments of 1z com panies cncli.

Tlie latter bill was explained that t lie fusionists had so gerrymandered the town that the Democrats only bad J aldermen, the Republicans electing and Governor Russell appointing 5; tills fus Ion ioard then electing a negro city at torncv and 5 negro policemen, and that the bill was approved by the New Bern people In mass meeting and the meeting also named the trustees. The Hurry county bill came up nnc was lost by a vote of 32 to (il. Many Democrats protested, against the bill a being against real Democracy to pass laws to control a county that had a clear white majority. Hampton, Republican said that this was a purely Democratic measure, was revolutionary and that two years hence the people would rise up and rebuke such legislation. He alluded to Isaac Smith, Republican reprcsontntiv from Craven as "that grand old Demo crat from Craven," and he said Ibis leg Islature would annihilate Craven county and "leave only a big black grease spot.'

The comaill- e has the form of the amendment un der consideration and its geneial plan pretty clearly decided on. On account of the overwhelming Dem ratio majority In both Houses, there no discussion between tte two panics The republicans are content wilh simply recording their votes in opposition. he result is that the big Bpeeclies are inndc in caucus anil as no one nut member of the legislature is admitted all the blasts ol eloquence are waste i so far as the outside world is concerned.
