JOOKNAL UUKKAU. I Rl.staH. N. C, March l.f Tbe elcct.on law has pissed ibe House , and it furnished I he chief point of Inter est yesterday. There was a big kick for the Republicans and Populists to lis passage sndja fsct-k was the first slgu In a long time that there was life in the corpse. The declaration was made by Hampton that the people would repudiate this election law at the polls. He said the worst of the provisions was lluit for challenges at tliu pulls, and Williams offered an amendment providing for registrars and poll holders of different ' parties. He declared that "the great Re publican parly here In North Carolina is not dead but slccpcth." Prllchard of Mitchell, said the Western people would not submit to such a law; that tho while men there would not be trilled wlih or auffer their liberty at tho ballot box to bo abridged. These criticisms on the .election law did not disturb the Democrats. They smiled and when all was said Winston explained in torse and vigorous style the provisions of the new law. lie said that he was under obligation to the opposi tion, white and black, for in concern, t expressed for the fiilnre of the I). inn er als. He said the election law, wMi the exception of the Slule and Co inly elec tion hoards, was the same as lieu in effect up to 1805. He arraigned the fusion party's election law, which it termed "fait" election law. The provisions of the law he, said had been thoroughly digested by I lie Democratic caucus a. id he called the previous iiesiion Tho amendments proposed by the futionlsls had first to be voted on and a roll call was Insisted. This was hud and the' first amendment was Voted down. Then the other amendments were voted on without a roll call and each time tho fuslonista voted "aye" and then the Democrats followed with a "no" that nearly ralseu me ivt. i. ... fnnny. The machinery-net came tip as a special order. It was staled by Holman, upon inquiry by Overman, that there were very few changes from the old act, and that these changes were of minor impor tance. Overman tlten made a motion to dis pense with the reading of the 12i rec tions and 72 pages of the act. lloushall aid the finance committee bad In the bill effected a saving of $10,000 in the out Btato by requiring sheriffs to make their own tax lists. Winston offered an amendment to Bectlou 15, which was adopted, "that any person, corporation or firm who fail to list the poll taxes or property taxes required of them by law shall be guilty of misdemeanor." A bill which was taken up was to pro vide for the government of the Agricul tural an Mechanical College at Raleigh; repealing all former laws. Winston offered an amendment which provides that the management and con trol of the college shall be vested in a board bf 20 trustees, and the prcsiJent of the collego Is made es-ofllcio president of this board. There are to Iks 7 trus lee elected for 2, 7 for 4 and 7 fqf 6 years It provides for the election at present of a sufficient number to make tbe nnmber 21, as the fuslonlsts whose terms do not expire continue to bold office until ex plrallon of such terms. Justice said tbe main change from the the old taw Is the election, of the trus tees by (he legislature and the provision that the trustees are to meet on the 2nd Monday In Marco and reorganize.

It is like the poor anil will lie always with us. The fact is that the members don't know what to do with it and therefore are willing to put it off. But today at 4 p m Is the time set mice more. The public printing is to go to Barnes Bros., the Populists, so tiie committee decided and could not do otherwise, for when the Legislature decideded to let it go to the lowest bidder, that decided the matter. There ale a good many who are bewailing the outcome, saying that the parly is nut taking care of its frier da, and olhcrs think tiial u h'iows good (ailh and economy lo save the public money.

Perhaps by the next day the caucus will decide to take m the matter. At the present writing the Edwards side seem lo be getting the worst of it. Kilt' News liVmK.

At last the Wilson case was before the joint session ef the two Houses yester day, sitting as a Court of Impeachment. However there was nothing further ac complished and no vote was taken. When the two Houses met at 4 o'clock a lively debate ensued over whether the Wilsons and Governor Hussell should have counsel t present their Case. A number of members were opposed to hearing the attorneys. They thought that enough had been said already, and that Ihe printed testimony taken before the committee was enough to go by. Senator Osborne chairman of the com mllteo that reported favorably to the Wilsons, arose and said that if the two Houses silting as a court should refuse to allow counsel, it would be the first time in of)0 years that Anglo-Saxons did such a thing. In replying to other ob jections. Judge Connor spoke a few min utes but long enough to deliver a forci ble and telling speech in favor of the permission of counsel, referring lo the trial of ltalcigh and thence draw-iug a point to enforce the present case. Tho contention for counsel prevailed and a motion was i ailo that the counsel for Wilsons ami for the Governor, each bo allowed an hour and a half, and the hear ing would be today at four o'clock. Willi all the Senators in the Hall of the House and the lobby filled with promi-u-nl people and the galleries crowded lo the limit, the scene was a lively one. So much has been said about the case that it lias become celebrated, not so much for Its merits as for a spectacle, with all the talking of counsel, and then the members enplaning their votes, it will be a mercy if the affairs is over tomorrow at all, even if continued late into the nilit. At present it looks like it might levelop into the star attraction of the whole show. Jim Crow", In spite of tlic prophets, haq passed both House and. Senate. reached the 'Senate, there was some dis position to amend it. Sorao were not satisfied. But they wero warned that the session was hear an end and they had better be satisfied with the bill as tho House passed, as il might yet be lost In the shulllo if kept open much longer. So Senator Ward withdrew his substi tute as did several others and the bill was passed and as soon as signed will be a law. It is exactly as already publish ed In the Journal. This bill is known as the Craig bill and is perhaps as good as could be passed with all the cofilcting interests considered. The bill to reduce the salaries of cer tain State officers came up as a special order. The salary of the State Treasur er first came under consideration. In the bill as II passed the House this sal ary is reduced to $2,250. Senator Hairston spoke strongly in favor of a general reduclionjif salaries of Hiate officers. Ho said '.ho nartv was pledged in the last campaign to reduie such salaries. This was opposed by Senator Glenn. Ho thougl t tho Stale officers received too little as tbe matter originally stood, and he could not see the fairness in reducing tho salary of the Treasurer and leaving ibe Govern or's salary intact. Senator Travis offered th following amendment: "Resolved, that the officers of North Carolina be put up to the lowest bidder from Governor down." Senator Fields' contention was that the reduction was demanded by the con dition of the wprkimg classes, and that the salaries of the State officers had far more econmic value now than when they were fixed. Senator Justice did not think the re duction at all equitable. It discrimina ted as against a few officers. The passage of tho bill, he said, would make no political profit. The people are not fools. Senator Daniels believed that theie should bo reduction; that the State offl, ! com should not be paid out of propor- tlon to the ether citizens of the Siate. Senalor Glenn said that for the amount (of work required and done North Caro lina gave ; less salary thin any Stale in the Union. Senator Osborne said, that he had not seen anything in the bill that he could conaclentlously;tote for. ;..IIe wanted some little time to take the matter, into consideration,' and ho" therefore sugges ted that the bill be. referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Upon mo tion the bilfwas re-referred and sent to tb.J-dcUrymmUtee::,; - ;:'C" .

FrJushee said there was the best matter of meeting a deficit and that as to the farms the special committee of the executive board had decided that two farms should be purchased (ihe Northampton and the CsJedouiti); tbbt the State hail expended many thousands of dollars upon them; that the leases would expire in two years and that their . option would also expire and that the j State would base the farms. Williams, j of Iredell, wautcd the bill referred to ' the special committee on appropriation, but agreed that it should pass second reading and then be so referred. The vote was yeas 5H; nays, 10 The end of one concern has come and the Legislature has abolished the rail road commission and only one "uo," was heard. A bill then passed to establish North Carolina corporation commission ers of three members to be elected by this legislature. This board succeeds the present railway commission. Allen of fered an amendment allow ing free passes to be given lo members of the board and members of the Geological survey, and lo give the board power to require rail ways to lower or raise their tracks at street crossings In cities and towns. These were adopted. Allen, of Wayne said Hie bill gave all the powers to Iho board which tlic railway commission has had and enlarges them, and also gives control of building ami loan business and of banking. The bill passed, fuslon ista voting no, having fonucd the habit and not being able to quit. Overman introduced a bill providing an election law for counties and towns which provides tor a voting place in each ward, and where there are no wards as many polling places as necessary may bo established. A new registration may be ordered but if there has been a recent registration an election shall be iTeld under it. Thirty days notice of new reg istration is required. One person shall be registrar at each polling place. Names of such registrars to be published. The period of registrations Is 10 days from the election the registration Dobwr shWrt be open for inspection and challenge. If fraud is found the name shall be erased. There will be two judges of election, of different political parties at each polling place, and these must be able lo read and write. No person not qualified to vote for members of Ihe Leg- Inlainrn shall vote. at such election. Per sons registering must givo the location of their house in which they live. There will be no registration on election day, but challenging Is allowed on that day Tickets to be on white paper of the same size and without choice. The board of canvassing will canvass and judicially iiass on votes. This bill will be well i ditcussed before passing. The Senate Chamber last night looked like a New Bern social, there were so many of the good people of the town at Ihe hearing before the committee on the proposed sale to Edwards of the A. & N. C. Hailroad. The meeting lasted unut 11 o'clock and after a short consultation the committee said that they could not report the bill for the sale favorably. They considered the price too low- and had other reasons. Testimony was introduced as to the condition of tli road. It Bhowcd that there was much room for Improvement ss lo road bed and warehouses. The rate of speed maintained on the old "Mullet" and other items were all gone over and itvb the attornevs a chance to cross o - - - auestion and mix up generally. The Leg islature will not go into any prolonged investigation over this sale, the lime Is too short even if there was the Inclina tion. Wintfr Wheat Crop.

"Battalion of the Twenty third Infan try sailed for Cebu on the 20lh instant liattalion of California volunteers sails for Negros tomorrow. Everything quiet here for the pasl three days. h is." The fact that Gencr.il Otis finds itpos sible to spare men to trn to other islaml of the Pliilippincgrotip outside of Luzon Is regarded by ihe olllcials as the most reassuring indication that has come lo the department lately.

Conditions In the Philippines favor the blockade runners and the task of keep ing munitions of war out of the hands of the natives will be dilticull, provided they have the money to pur chase the goods. The; fact that these can be bought ii. the open market in Asia cannot be made a nutter of complaint by our government, for the reason that it always haa maintained the right of neutral citizens to engage in such busi ness.
