Kepreseatative White, of Bladen, was here yesterday and spent some of his time reading the history of the Legisla ture. He thinks it a very -amusing pamphlet. By the way, thousands of copies of the history have been sold this week. Mr. White says most of the Republi cans and Populists are well pleased with what the Legislature did. Ue declares that he does not believe the Republi cans will lose over 5.000 votes by rea son of tho Fred. Douglas resolutions, the assignment law, etc. He admits that there is some soreness regarding these tbintrs. He says frankly that the clerks who secured the working through of the assignment act ought to be put in jail. Mr. White looked at the Bladen coun ty special tax act and found that the error in making the rate "3 per cent." instead of "3 cents on the $100" was made by the engrossing clerk .of the House.

People are just now beginning to get interested in it; not all of them, however. One leading business man got so absorbed in it that his friends got uneasy about him. On the other hand, Carlisle's speech on sound money is being eagerly read and endorsed. Men here, as elsewhere, are greatly di vided on the financial question, with perhaps a majority in favor ojf silver. The Sunday edition of the Observkb is pronounced a gem, and everybody was greatly pleased with the accuracy and fullness of the reports W the ex ercises in Raleigh.

The organic! union question was settled amid enthu-j siasm this morning in . the Southern Presbyterian General Assembly.- There was a most remarkable scene and tho measure was passed unanimously, th principal advocate of the union, Rev Mr. Walton, of Georgetown; Ky., sec onding a motion to adopt the report x the committee on bills and overtures The Assembly was called, to orderi promptly at 0 a. m. After the minutes had been read and approved rthe bilW and overtures commit tee reported . ad vising that no action be taken , on over-' tures asking for a change in the licen sure of candidates for the ministry, f : Dr. Oraham, chairmah of the com mittee on bills and overtures, in a con ciliatory speech presented the report on the overtures on the subject of organic union. It said; ."This ; Assembly defes not deem it wise to agitate these ques tions at this time, and places on record its sentiments of sincere regard and Christian affection for that honored branch' of the great -Pfesbyterbrn. Chnrch with whom we now have the closest fraternal relations." Both sides are agreed that this is the best paper that could be adopted. It renews the Assembly's desire "that the plans of co operation in Christian work both at home and abroad, which have been agreed to by our respective Assemblies, may oe always iaitbiuiiy ana cordially observed by both Chmches." The committee on home missions re ported, and the majority recommended Rev. R. H. Fleming, D. D.. of Lynch burg, Ya., for secretary. The minority were in favor of continuing Dr. Craig. The Assembly refused to debate this question in executive session, and Dr. Peyton H. Hoge, chairman of the com mittee, supported the nomination or the committee. Charlotte Wanted Bnt Memphis Got the Assembly's Next Heeling. " Dallas, Tex., May 22. The Assem bly met again at 3 p. m., and continued the debate on the election of the secre tary of home missions. " Dr. Lefevre, of Baltimore, made a telling speech m favor of Dr. Craig, who was finally re elected on the call of the ayes and noes by a vote of 97 to 62. The vote was made unanimous. Charlotte, Memphis, Atlanta, and Fredericksburg, Ya., were placed in nomination for the next meeting. Memphis was chosen by a bare ma jority. The following is the full text of the organic union paper. After reference to the contents of overtures sent up by the various Presbyteries, the report proceeds in the following terms : 'This Assembly does not deem it wise under existing conditions to agi tate the questions submitted to these overtures. It avails itself of this occa sion, however, to place again on record its sentiments of sincere regard and Christian affection for that honored branch of the great Presbyterian family between whom and ourselves close fra ternal relations already exist, and we here renew the expression of our desire that the plans of co-operation in Chris tian work both at home and abroad, which have been agreed to by our re spective Assemblies, may be always faithfully and cordiallv observed by both Churches." In an interview Rev. R. A. Walton, expressing the views of the advocates of union with the Northern Assembly, said: "A great pressure was brought to bear on me to contend for the ap pointment of a committee on confer ence to meet a like committee from the Northern Assembly on the subject of organization. If the report of our com mittee on overtures should fail to make this recommendation it matters not what else might be embodied in the re port, but I take it tha what is needed just now is the securing of that real and hearty co-operation which has been the purpose of the former deliverances; and I am of the opinion that the spirit of the report which was presented and adopted is a most decided step in this direction. We must go on, step by step, until we reach that point of union which the work demands." The session of the Assembly to-night was devoted to the cause of foreign missions. Rev. R. II. Fleming, D. D., presided and the address of the evening was by Rev. G. W. Painter, of Hong Chow, China, who spoke for over an hour. At the conclusion of the address the Assembly took a recess until 9 a. m. to-morrow. BC IHEKFORD COMMENCEMENT. The Graduating Exercises Rev. J. C. Howe Made a I). D.

The graduating class, 28 in number, simply and becomingly attired in white and gold, their colors, took their places on the rostrum. The decorations on the walls surrounding the rostrum were more beautiful and tasty than ever be-J fore; long streamers of white and gold hang in graceful festoons from the ceil ing. On the wall to the right, written in letters made of spruce pine, is the fitting motto, in English:" "Not for Ourselves Alone.". On the rostrum your correspondent noticed, among others, Governor Ellas Carr; State Superintendent Scarboro; Dr. J. H. Boyd, of Charlotte; Josephus Daniels; J. L. Ramsay, of the Progres sive Farmer; W P. Shaw, a director of the Normal; Dr. Spainhour, Dr. Jacob Henry Smith and others. At 11 o'clock the exercises were for mally opened with the loog metre dox ology by the entire audience, followed by an eloquent prayer by Dr. Boyd. The entire school sang the Old North J State, and Mr. B. R. Lacy, Labor Commissioner, arose and expressed his pleasure in having the honor to intro duce one who had made the question of labor a study for so many years. "But it is not this fact alone," said he, "that should make us proud to honor our guest. After lighting against us for four years he was the first to lay down his arms and lead his battle scarred veterans to the grave of South ern soldiers and scatter flowers on their graves as well as of the Federal army." Hon. Carroll D. Wright opened his address on "Avenues of Self-Support and Usefulness Open to Women" with a discussion of the definition of labor, and what the labor question means,! Coming to the subject, he said, Harriet Martineau, a well known English writer, visited this country in ; 1840 'wheni she related that she found here only seven employments open for women. Here the speaker enlarged upon the great changes that have been wrought; in the condit ion of women and gave sta tistics, showing the wonderful increase j in the number of occupations for wo men. Said he, it is with public school , teaching that women have made their greatest impression. The Federal Com missioner of Education states that out of the whole number of teachers in the United States, 65i per cent, are women. This fact is supplemented by another, that there are now 228 colleges of the liberal arts and 198 institutions for the higher instruction of women. It is during the past 50 years that these changes come, opening the way to the economic independence of women. Competition has had much to do in bringing about the present industrial status of women. Chivalry and knight ly courtesy were not enough. Equality of opportunity was a necessity, and co equality of respect, resulting from inde pendence and capacity. Such co-equality and independence and capacity arc the direct outcome of such institutions as this which the Old North State has so generously established. Here the speaker referred to the hackneyed re mark about women displacing men. Said he, as women have occupied the positions of book-keepers, telegraphers and many of what might be called semi professional callings, men have stepped upward and onward in their career; they have entered engineering, electri cal and mechanical and other spheres of life that were not known when wo men first entered the industrial Held. As the latter have progressed from entire want of employment to employment which pays even a few dollars per week, men have progressed in their employments and occupied en tirely newJSelds not known before. Re ferring to the reasons why women are paid less in proportion, he said the jmain one is that women have stepped out of industrial subjection into the in dustrial system of the present as an entirely new ecouomic factor. The growing importance of woman's labor, her general equipment through tech nical education and through the influ ence of such inststutions as this; her more positive dedication to the life- work she chooses; the growing senti ment that an educated and skillful wo man is a better and truer life compan ion than an ignorant and un skillful one; her appreciation of combination and of association and the general uplifting of the sentiment of integrity in business circles; her grad ual approacn to man 8 powers in mental work alone; her possible, and maybe probable, political Influence all these influences combined, working along general avenues of progress and of evo lution; ' will surely bring her to an equality of remuneration and to in creased economic importance. Mr. Wright s address was only 38 minutes long, but was exceedingly in structive and interesting. . He was lis tened to with marked attention by the large audience, and all pronounced it a fine effort, ..At the close the school and audience sang .'America" after" which short talks were: made by Governor Elias Carr and Dr. Chaa. D. Mclverv At 4:30 o'clock, this afternoon the physical exercise class gave an enter tainment, to which only ladies were admitted. . ' - - Last night & meeting of the Alumnse Association of the Normal and Indus trial School was held and the following officers were elected for. the ensuins year:: Miss Rachel Brown, of Newbern, president- Miss Zella McCulloch, vice president; Miss Mary-Applewhite, of Scotland Neck, secretary. After the installation of officers the present grad uatiug class were received into . active membership. The exercises-to-night were opened with a song by the school. Miss Daisy Bauev w ant, oi iv aice countv. read an essay entitled "Prometheus Unbound." This essay" was-a classical gem.. She applied the old fable to the attitude of tire aristocraeyto theldemocracv. 't. Miss Barnett Miller, of Mecklenburg; followed with an essay entitled " Man and His Environments.", Miss Miller's paper was an exceedingly interesting discussion of climatic influences oa the mind of man. ... ' Miss Ethel Parmelee, of Wilminrton. read a paDer- on .'"Geometry Teaching and the Value of .Form- Study." .This wa. a plea for . the" introduction -of geometry . into our, schools for less ad yanced pupils than at present, , . ?-",:. Miss Margaret Perry, of Iredell, read a paper on ' Map hood in Literature, Miss Perry's paper possessed genuine merit and received great appiause. ... -: The baccalaureate sermon was preach ed by Dr. J. H. Boyd, of CfcArlotte. His text, divided nn into three parts. waar "And the Lord God said, it is not rood for man to be alone. I"wiU make for him an help meet." Then the curse pronounced npon woman for the first sin: "Unto woman, I will greatly mul tiply thy sorrows." The third head: "And there shall -be" no more curse."

On Hundred Have so Far Reported as Preseat State Bankers Hold a Meeting aad Hear Speeches. Mevtbis, Tenn., , May 22. Delegates to tbe sound money . convention are straggling in this morning from Texas, Kansas and points in this State, and about one hundred, or a sixth, of the total expected, had reported to Secre tary: Potter at the cotton exchange, up to noon. Telegraphic advices also stated that Birmingham, Ala ; Pensacola. Flai'Norf oJk V4 'Mobile, ' Ala., and Augusta, Ga , points ot hitherto heard from, hadi appointed.; delegates:: com posed of members f commercial and financial organizations. . Owing to the fact that the bulk of the delegates-are not due nntil the morning trains, the programme has been revised "and the con vention wilt- not be called to order uhtil 2 o'clock.- - -v. - - -1 At the opening of. the annual meet ing of the Tennessee Bankers. Associa tion In the j Federal -Court room this morning Conereasman Josiah Patter son, in welcoming the ; Visitors, - laid stress upon the vital interest of the monetary, issue to the .financial world and to the laboring classes alike. The prosperity of the masses, he said, de" pended upon sound money. . '".i-'vr -.The annual address of President Jus tin, of Nashville, aroused considerable enthusiasm, "We are on ; tbe eve of a tremendous upheaval,", he said, "and it is the duty of every man to get in line for- the present battle, to define his views and to announce on which side he has arrayed himself. Efforts are being made to make this a sectional question. God forbid that we shall ever again have sectional antago nisms on issues affecting the - entire country. As a Southerner, I repudiate the idea that this is a question o the great East against the West or the South,' It Is not a sectional but a great economic question and it must be set tled not by appeals to passion or preju dice, but to reason, affecting the happiness of the people." It must be settled and honorably set tie J."'. Most of the arrivals to-day were Ten nesseeans but there were a hundred or more from outside points. Congress man J, Catchings beaded a good-sized delegation from Mississippi, and J. M. Atberton, the millionaire distiller of Louisville, and President Swearing, of the Union National Bank, of the same city, piloted a contingent from the Blue Grass State, i General W. W. Gordon came in from Savannah; E. W. Robert son, from Columbia, S. C; Judge J. B Brown, from-Little Rock; A. T. Hay den and J. C. Morris, from New Or leans, while V. G. Hale had in charge a large party fro.m Paris and other points in Texas. - " Based on dispatches received up lo this evening, the local committee esti mates that there will be nearly a thou sand wearers of the delegates' - badges when Secretary Carlisle is presented to them in: the auditorium to-morrow afternoon. Due in a measure to tbe ambiguous -phrasing of the original call, there has been more or less specu lation regarding the ultimate objective point of the gathering and the friends of silver have ttfken advantage of this fact to insist that the convention would not be representative of the true feel ing in the South, inasmuch as tbe dele gates had not been elected by popular vote-and would consequently represent no views but their own and those of the organizations or institutions by whom they had been designated. It transpires this evening that there will ne a flavor of free silver in the con vention to-morrow, although probably not 'a sufficient strength to put itself materially in evidence. Some of the rganizattons and municipalities re sponding to the call in Mississippi and elsewhere have selected divided delega tions and to these, under the terms of the call, recognition cannot be denied by the committee on credentials. None of the silverites have so far put in an appearance. There will be no effort on tbe part of the guiding spirits oi tne convention to stifle a full and free dis cussion. AN EABLT HOSXINO TUKFT. D. A. Corlngton, Esq , Finds a Barglar in Central The Han His Room at the Locked Pp. Tuesday night Charles T. Humphries, Atlanta, Ga., registered at the Central Hotel and was assigned to room No. 48.
