Senator Moody of Haywood opposed the amendment. He thought the work would be worth $2,000. He said as a lawyer he regarded the present Code as almost worthless. Mr. Fowler asserted that the present ('ode was arranged by three of the most eminent lawyers in the State, John Manning, W. T. Dorch and John S. Hfnd'!on who received a salary of $1,."00 each. He .saw no reason lor in fieasing the salary of $r00. It was not in the line of reform or economy. Senator Powd otTered an amendment to make salary -f 1,000. He said from what he heard "0O would be a big sal ary for some of the commissioners. Senator 1'addison's amendment was adopted reducing salaries of commis sioners to -f! 500 and clerk's salary to to .f'7"'0 ; aNo to require commissioners to pay their own traveling expenses.

Mr. Ewart, rising to a question of ersonaI privilege said that he regret ted taking up time which was precious, but he owed it to himself to say that lie had pursded his labors in the eigh teen election cases with all the diligence and f ihness of which he was capable. But there was a matter to which he had to refer which was an unpleasant one, namely the reckless intimation by the Caucasian in its editorial columns that there had been discrimination against I'opuli.-ts contestants in favor of the Bepuhlican party. "I send to the Clerk's desk and ask that he read the marked editorial in this morning's Caucasian, entitled 'Equity Not m It." I am aware, Mr Speaker, that for some reason I have fallen under the ban of the edi tors of that journal, perhaps for what I did, and perhaps for what I would not do, I neither know nor care. The po sition that I have held as chairman of the committee oi Privileges and Elec tions Mr. Speaker, has entailed great labor, and responsibility upon me. The only lawyer on the committee, the le- j gal work lias devolved almost entirely j upon me. This committee has done its duty bravely, fairly and honestly, j At the commencement' of this session, j Prnofratic Beprentati vc-s upon thi- door, openly declared this committee. won1:! oust every Democratic eontestee ! in the House. j 'This I denied, but I did not he.-iute ; to say that whenever this committee reached the conclusion that a seat was held by fraud, or wrong, that moment would the recipient of that fraud or wrong I-e promptly deprived of it. "The editors of the Cuuyam'au by this editorial plainly intend to convey the impression that this committee has declined to seat Populift contestants be cause they were Populists, but has nev er hesitated to seat Republicans. I do not Know the writer of that article, nor do I care. But this I do say, that the charge made bv this writer, le he of high or low degree, is as false and as black as the very hinges upon which creak the gates of hell itself ! "If this editor supposes that "he can bull-doze, or intimidate myself or mem bers of this Committee into seating contestants who are not entitled to seats in this House, he is mistaken in his man ! We will not do it, be he Populist or Republican. Under their oaths Populists ana Republicans of that committee have done their duty, and in every instance the Populist members of that committee, who are brave and true men have sustained me in my re ports. "Of the contested cases unfavorably acted on, six were Republicans. In ev ery lnstence where a Populist made out his case, without regard to technicali ties, he was promptly seated. "But where that case was not made out, this committee could not violate their oaths, not even to please the ed itors of the Caucasian." The bill appropriating $10,000 to the Confederate monument was taken up, discussed and passed by a vote of b0 to 38. Fkiday, March 8th. Skxatk. The revenue act was con sidered in the Senate. Some appro priations were made. I'.MVEHSITY TRUSTEES. The committee reported the follow ing nominations for trustees of the University, to fill vacancies: C. A. Cook to succeed himself ; "V. E. White to succeed George Davis ; V. S. Lusk to succeed J. L. Stewart ; D. L. Russell to succeed T. J. Jarvis ; T. W. Babb to succeed W. T. Faircloth ; Angus Shaw to succeed H. C. NcNeill ; P. H. Morris to succeed J. N. Todd ; J: M. Thomas to succeed H. D. Williams. House. The bill making an annual appropriation of $13,750 for the Normal and Industrial School at Greensboro and $5,000 annually for the next two years for a new dining room, recitation room?, etc., and sanitary improvements was taken up. White, of Bladen, spoke strongly in support of the bill and of the school. Flack offered an amend ment making the special appropriation $4,000, instead of $5,000. White said the committee had itself made the recommendation of the special appro priation and that it really ought to be $10,000 a year. He said that this school was demanded by the Farmers' Alliance. Woo ten said he hoped that not a vote would le cast against this appropriation ; that the school was a necessity to the whole State, something which the common people needed. Mitchell opposed the appropriation, saying that the bill took the money from the public schools. He moved to table the bill. On this Stevens de manded the ayes and nays. This was lost ayes 13, noes 03. French was applauded when, in explaining his vote, he said this was the grandest in stitution in the State. Norment said the motion to table was a direct insult to every mother in North Carolina. Voung in explaining his vote said the school was a grand institution, supply ing a great need, and that this Legisla ture must not do anything to cripple it or any other educational interest in North Carolina. The bill passed almost unanimously. CRIMINAL COURT. The billl to establish a new criminal court, including Halifax and Edge combe with several othei- counties, came up and was warmly discussed. MCOAIX'S ANALYSIS OF THE BILL. McCall took up the bill for analysis and denounced the provision allowing the Judge to practice law in his own Criminal circuit. McCall dwelt upon the monstrosity of this and said to quote tne words of Ewart in Congress, "it would be a stench in the nostrils of all honest men." Another feature forced the courts to keep in session all the time, so that at any time, the judge could go to either one of the 8 counties and hold courts at will. Nothing so outrageous since the day of Adam and Eve. It was not necessary, and entailed, like a vampire, new expense to the State. You refused yesterday to vote for the monument to the soldiers who sleep on the red hills of Virginia, when now at the behest of the bell-weather of the Big Five you come here under lash to vote for this measure this Luxury court, which Edgecombe and Halifax say is a luxury that they don't I want and your judge taking care of the I cases that will be left over from the f 7 Snj -erlor e- urt v. . cigars like a .-.r!! jK?oj,;e, th'-ugh '(' from Yanee anin ties of 3Ie-! ;ii u have to p-;y the A cr.x 3 ! s -t tbii ' I with i.i-exi.f'n-C of t he .it f! had also a vout:on 1 ' thi-. and the couu- and Hanover (Ml-" to add tie a e Meckieiibm--' hen V ) : i !i S. i o mee I t ; ..' expen.-es.

Here McCali read the following affidavit : I hereby certify that the ex pen ' the Criminal Court of New Hanover county as appears by the report of H. A. Bagg, chairman, B. G. Worth and E. L. Pearce, commissioners of said board of commissioners for the years 1800, 1801, 181)2, 181)3. and 181)1 have been as follows : For the year 181)0, For the vear 181)1, For the vear 1812, For the year 18D3, For the year 1SD1, Average cost per year, $ 5,820.75 5.0'J7.07 5.N'. )7.; j 5.1)55.55 (J.057.2'; 5,'27o: These figures are subject to deduction of solicitor's and clerk's fees paid into the countv treasurvfor 1800 of $307.75 ; for 1S01, $403.00;" for 1S02, $120.00: for 1803, $115.00. Witness my hand and seal of said county this 2th of February, 1805. (Signed) Jonv Shaw, Clerk Board Com. New Hanover Co. (This affidavit was sealed). French interrupted McCall several times saying his time was up ; Hunter having the chair. Peebles said he thought lie had been recognized (seem ingly intending to yield time to McCall). Speaker Hunter said if he had recognized Peebles he had made a mistake. French insisted in expedition Grizzard asking to send up amend ment French sayi-ng that amendments were useless that they were simp!, pro forma and the bill w ould go through, without change. Grizzard grew red in the face and asked by what rule was it that the gentleman from New Hanover should dictate when, and when not, a member should send up an amendment. "I will have the gentleman from New Hanover to know that he is not here to determine only as a member the amend ments of other members and the doings of this House. HALIFAX I'ON'r WANT IT. Grizard sent up an amendment to except Halifax. Halifax had three Superior courts, two inferior courts ; no need for this court. ; no prisoners were in jail awaiting trial, don't need it there, no one wants it and it is a hard ship to put it there when we don't want it. Is it a job to give an office to some body when they won't give a monument to the soldiers, but the time was com ing when they would be tried before the bar of public sentiment. French calied the previous question. Peebles arose with two amendments, (not recog nizee") Howard got up for a moment ; recognized. Speaker said lie would yield to all gentlemen for a moment. Howard said he had a petition from every citizen in Taxboro against this, they did not need it. they had three Superior courts. French insisted on the previous question. Speaker said he had agreed to recognize Peebles, who gave notice of amendments. The vote was taken on McCall's amendment (the ayes and noes being .ailed), which was defeated by a vole of 40 to 30. Grizzard 's amendment (French call ing to those around him to vote no, vote no) was put and lost (the ayes and noes being called) by a vote of 45 to 43. After other discussions and explain ing of votes the bill passed third read ing by a vote of 51 to 43. Saturday and Monday. The columns of The Democrat are too crowded to give details of Satur day's and Monday's proceedings. The Code Commission was tabled and Otho Wilson was made railroad commission er in the place of Capt. T. W. Mason, whose term expires. Capt. Kitchin will be given the olhce of Superintendent of the penitentiary. "Perhaps you would not think so, but a very large proportion of diseases in New York comes from carelessness about catching cold," says Dr. Cyrus Edson. "It is such a simple tiiinui and so common that very few people, unless it is a case oi pneumonia, pay any attention to a cold. There are a great many cases of catarrh and con sumption which have their origin in this neglect of the simplest precaution ot every day life. The most sensible advice is, when you have one, get rid of it as soon as possible. By all means do not neglect it."
