The constitutional amendment u voted on and passed by the two flflhs vote add if it passes the Senate the people will vote! on the question in 1000. A change in the organic law of the State Is certainly the moat important question to be considered by a legislature The deepest Interest was man I fed ted In the occasion. The Uoase floor wan filled with Senators and prominent men, Chairman Simmons was an interested listener. The galleriei were filled, more than sixty ladies among the number. The part reserved for negroes was filled with the colored race. Rountree of Wilmington explained the bill at great length and presented the views of the committee, lie quoted opinions from llu United States Su preme court on the Mississippi law and from the Supreme Court of Msasacliu setts and In conclusion declared that the amendment was entirely compatible with the Federal constitution, lu con elusion he was liberally applauded. Three of the colored member!) spoke against the bill. Siiiilli of Cisven spoke at considerable length bui receive. I nl tentlon which was at least pint iluu lo the laughable cbaiacler f bis iinmiks. lie worked in some history about I'ernhi and quoted some poetry to embellish his conclusion. Several while Itepuiiliuans also spoke against the amendment. Winston of Bertie closed the remark and called the previous quesi ion which brought the mailer to Vole, lie said that he underHoo l tbatlhore were while men here representing while people who hesitated lo vole for this bill, llu de dared It was a lime to sink the con science In the. public good. He made a powerful appeal In support of the ancestral feature of the bill. He said that lu future years men in North Cam Una would be proud that they were the descendants of the men who la this legis lature had dared to vote for this bill, lie said in the name of the womeu of North Carolina (tremendous applause) he bade these doubting white men rise te the height of their own manhood. Then the voting betran on the secoud reading of the bill. Many members lu addition to the clerks were keeping score. It was an anxious time, for although the party managers felt sure of . where they stood, something might happen, and as the doubtful ones voted "aye" applause rang through the hall, not until "W" was reached was there a two fifths majority aud then thero was great applause and when the final vote of 79 to 29 was announced, a great shout w.nlup, and for a moment the House resembled a political convention. As the vote proceeded miny members voting "no" gsvo their reasons, most of tbem declared tbat they had 'no apol agy to offer" aud their explanations were various, chiefly of the Democrats that they had pledged themselves on the campaign not to vole for a limitation of the suffrage. The Democrats voting no, were Barnhlll, Currle, CurlU, McNeil and Relnbardt. The Fuslonists voting with the Democrats wrre Crumpler, Johnson, Mcintosh, and Tarkenton. Twelve members were absent or refused to vote. The amendment bill will now go to the Senate. It will have smoother water there than In the House. It Is even pre' dieted that not over four votes will be cast against It. The vote will' probably take place by Monday or Tuesday. . Born new bills were Introduced yes. lerdav, to give livery men a lien on burses and mules, to make It a uiisdc meanor punishable by a flue of $50 to work on Bunday, to rega'ate accident lnsa ranee companies, to appoint Justice of the Peace for Wilmington. The bill regarding the fishing In the Nous river with Dutch nets was recalled before be ing ratified, to bo reconsidered.

Journal Brwur I Kaleigb, N. C, February 20. j The great days ef the present Legisla ture were last Friday and Saturday, when tue constitutional amendment was passed irrtlie House and Senate by more than tbe necessary two fifths vole. Il is not likely that sucb a.scene will lie enact ed again this session and perhaps not for years to come. When tbe lime came to vole on the amendment in tbe Senale Saturday, it found the chamber crowded with specta tors. It was necessary to refuse further admission on the floor. Every scat in the gallery was occupied by ladies and many besides were standing up. In the pal t reserved for the colored raco were probably a dozen spectators of the event ful scene. Nearly all the Senators were in their seats. Glenn, Osborne, Skinner, Justice. Uryan and other leaders were awaiiing the casting of the vole, not anxious for lis safe carrying, but anxious lo have the important iiesliou disposed of Representative Uounlieo who had helped so greatly in the House, was sealed near to Senator Gleun, and other Representa tives gathered around. Kach Senator was handed a pi intc 1 copy of the bill. The lirst point of inter est was when Goodwin, Populist, olTeicd an amendment to the bill, that all per sons who were disf i anchiscd upon the adoption of the amendment, should be exempt from all military and oilier duties and from paying a poll tax. ' This was promptly voted down, 13 to (5 on a roll call. Then the amendment bill itself cane up. Those intending to vote against tho bill gave notice that they would explain their vote when their names were called. Several for ihe bill also dirt the same. In the House, speeches during the roll call were limited to one minute and time was promptly called by the Speaker or some member. In the Senate there was no limit and some of the spceclus were too long. Especially so that of the negjo Senator Fuller from Warren, lie received good attention, but there was loo much (puliation front books, poetry, elc, to be appropriate and his plain talk was wide of the mark. Senators Travis and Fields, Democrats, made speeches, but l lie outburst thai aroused the audi ence until cbeers rang through the Chamber was from Senator Glenn. Crisp Republican, interrupted hint with ques tions, until thoroughly aroused, his face flushed, his words echoed through the Hall, "I thank God who has enabled me to be here to record my vote in favor of the grand old Anglo-Saxon race, the virtue and welfaro of the white women of the Stale. It is tbe proudest moment of my life.' Tbe final voto on the third reading was 42 to 0 and by that record of 7 to 1, the amendment goes to the decision of the people In 1000. A contest Is taking place in the Senate over Madison county bonds. A bill is before the ' Legislature to validate the bonds, They were Issued In 1689 to pay county debts and to build bridges, elc, and amounted to $21,000. There was some irregularity In tbe passage and there is an attempt to throw them over. It is claimed that the bonds were sold at a big discount to speculators. The com mittee reported unfavorably en the bill, but there was a minority report with Osborne, Skinner, Daniels and Glenu signing it, and these are among the weightiest men In the Senate, hence the sharp fight over tho bill. Tbo amend- ment question came up and caused the matter to be postponed. There Is much Interest In the question, for this Legisla ture Is clearly against .repudiation In any form. The Insurance bill' Is hating a hard road to travel and was made a special order for Thursday at noon. The revenue bill, natural'y of loading Importance will be considered In a com mittee of the whole onTuesday. There Is no tolling how long tbe discussion on this pill may last, perhaps all tho week and U may crowd to (he wall both tbe Insur ance and the Separate cars bills. The "Jim Crow" bill Is such a weakling that It musn't be crowded too hard or II will bo smothered. Enquiries In regard to "Jim Crow" bring the reply that It will surely be treated fairly. Trailing behind the Revenue bill Is the Machinery bill which may make tho Revenue bill operative. The Finance Committee is nursing these lusty Infants and they are being fed on strong food. , The "local option bill" whloh provides for elections on liquor questions to bo held In "ofT years had a bad fall.!

The report of the committee ou pub lie printing also got bit very bard It was finally voted to lei the printing to the lowest bidder in tbe State. There is a great howl raised at Ibis by "organized labor" and it may block the mailer in tbe Senate, It will lake the printing away from the "unions" ami allow the work lo be done by the so called "scabs" Il is claimed that organized labor of all kinds will protest, aa it is this class in the cities thai has always stayed close lo Ihe Democratic party and they will re gard it as it as a slap at them, only IN votes were cast in favor of "labor". Among those against was the author of the nnli trust bill and he opposed limit ing t lie work to be done in North Caro lina, and got off the following, which means nothing, "I believe unorganized labor needs protection more than organ ized labor." The bill for graded school at New Bern was reported favorably. The bill "for the government of lieaufort, Cart eret county, was ordered enrolled. This bill provides for the election of commis sioners and other mailers at the next election. Wards one and two each elect two commissioners, wards three, four and live elect one commissioner each, and wards one and two elect one com missioner at large. It also provides that registrars and poll holders "must be able te read aud write", and everybody is to vote at the Town Hull. There is a suggestion made that bonds be issued to pay the penitenliarv debt of $110,000, buy two of the Staic farms for $7?,000 and have enough besides to pro vide for work on the farms the coming year. The bomb In amount arc to be $250,000, to cover the different needs. Speaker C'onnor.ha8 been presented with a handsome gold pen holder and pen from Scotland county, and promises to have il handy to sign the bill when il reaches him creating the new county. A Dispensary bill passed for Clayton, Johnson county. Charlotte people arc watching their dispensary law bill. It passed the House unanimously and now comes before tbo Senate, it is for all of Mecklenburg county. Twenty six new bills were introduced in the House on Saturday.

Keby 20 There i something going ou in this Stale, that except in llioe localitiee iin mediately affected, is not atl inciing much attention. This is 1 1 it- spread ol tbe dispensary law, fashioned much like the one I j force in South Carolina w here it is a State law. Here it is a local ineas ure, confined to the counties intercMnl But the number of these counties li i- greatly increased by the applications to tbe Legislature. Some of -the laws have passed. Others such as Charlotte iim being argued before Ihe committee and later will lie before the Assembly. In their main features the 'dispensary laws are much alike. The prohibition people generally favor them. They lliink many of them, Hint it is "the solution ol the liquor question". On tbe other side are many equally as good people who are lighting t lie bills from disinterested motives. Huge petitions are brought to 1 lie Capital, containing thousands o! names, for or againsl llu: dispensary, and dclegationf come by the car load to ntiuence the passage of the laws. The dispensary law just passed im Smiihtield, Johnston county, can be taken as an example of these laws Many people do mil know the feal tires of this law and may be interested in the main facts. It provides in tbe lirst place thai il shall be unlawful for anyone to sell liquor of any kind in the county c cept by t lie dispensary. Three commit sioners are appointed for Ihe dispensary by the law for the tow n of Siiiilbllcld. Thev hold ibeir offices for one, two and thrio years and nominate their succes sors who however must be approved by the town commissioners. The dispensary cjnunissioners are re piired to furnish a suitable place ' foi Ihe sale of spiritous, vinous, malt and other liquors," not wilhin 300 feel, of any cbuieb. Tbe commissioners choose a manager for tbe dispensary who must give a bond for $500. His pay is fixed by the com missioners, not lo cxcceil $o0 per month It is the duty of the manager to keep n register in which si all be kept a record of tue names of persons to whom any liquors are sold, the quantity, price and (Into of sale. His books and records arc open al all limes to t lie inspection of citizens and officers of the law. The quantity of liquor to be sold to any one person is to be determined by the commissioners, but in no case shall wine or liquor be sold in quantity less than one half pint, and none shall be drank in the building or on t lie premises. Tho Dispensary shall open at sunrise and close at sunset. Tbe price of liquors shall lie lixed by the commissioners and "shall nol be sold at a profit exceeding SO per centum above the actual cosl." No "broken packages'' shall lie kept in the Dispen sary. An analysis of Ihe liquor on hand shall be made from lime to time and any con demned as ininure shall not be sold, and payment refused to the parlies purchase from, no Imuor shall be sold to any one for the of selling again, or they will be guilty of a misdemeanor. The board of couimisi ioners of 111 town shall appropriate a sulhcieul sum of money from Hie town treasury to establish tbe Dispensary, which amount shall be repaid by the profits arising from sales, and thereafter the Dispensary slia:l be supported by profits from the sales. The Dispentaty conimisi-loiieis i-hall nav Ihe reirular license lo the sin rill of the countv. The commissioners shall lie paid for their services I lie sum of $S per annum. Kvery six months the profits of the Dispensary shall be divided, one half going to the tow n treasurer The part going to the town treasurer shall go for the Improvement of Ibo town, tho part going to the county shall be placed to tbe credit of (ho school fund and applied lo tbe support of ibe free public schools In tbe districts In which tbo town Is sit ualed. Such In brief are the main points of the Dispenssry Law. From the provisions of the law It can be easily seen tha there is room for a difference of opinion No otlierquestlont before tho legists .ture have excited more healed talk, or greater eiToiU for and against. Fayette rill baa had the law and mado a great effort lo have II repealed but wltbou avail. The oppouonla of repeal refused lo allow It to be voted on again by the people, and fought II out on that line and succeeded.
