Raleigh, Special.—An interesting legislative situation looms np here about the solution of which there is diSTereuce of opinion. The constitu tion of North Carolina limits the membership of the House of Repre sentatives to 120 members, whereas 121 were elected last week, including on« from the new county of Lee, where D. A. McDowell was chosen. The constitution says every county .shall be represented. Some of the larger counties have two and three J members on account of larger popula l tion.

Grum pier. both Jiepublicans. to make room for the Lee county member, who is a Democrat. The reason Sampson is to be curtailed is that this county seems from the last census, to have the least | excess of citizenship over the num ber to entitle the county to the addi tional member. Republicans who have 1 discussed the mattter, on the other ■ hand, insist thpt Sampson's delcga • tion cannot be molested and that Lee ■ had no right to elect a separate rep '■ resentive until another census ap ' portionment is made unless there was 1 special provision by the Legislature • in creating Lee county. And there was no such provision, it is said. Governor Glenn Now in Harness.
