v KALBMM.M.a, Feb. 17.(
The fit tpon plana of aa early ad
journment aad thereby making a "res
ent" are rapidly fading' aad growlag
beautifully less Boch queatioaa at the
constitutional amendment, teptreta cars
election law; aad tuch bills as the Boot-
land conniy and aupentary have otea
huge time aalara. Betides there bss beea
an avalanche of new bills pouring In the
last week. A number of members who
are looking towards 1900 are fretting
under tbe situation, but tbelr reaaoas are
la good part peraonal. What can they
do about It anyway?
Tbe number, of bills Introduced for
basinets enterprise, railroads and such
matters it large. It ought to be consid
ered a good alga that the Bute It pros
pering, and any member who favors
shutting down tba law tbop to prevent
the chartering of new banks, reduction
of toll rates, and last but not least tbe
complote cleaning out of tbe fuslonists
from all tbe State Institutions Is a queer
kind of Democratic patriot.
And as tbe time Is getting short any
how, a well austalned and piercing howl
from the East should now be set np on
lha non-passage of tbe epsrate cars.
"Jim Crow law" bill Several of tbe
proposed bills are good enough for re as
on'able people.
It It pretty nnfoilunala that when this
bill la hanging fire, tbe Finance Commit
tee should decide to report favorably on
a tax on the gross earnings ot railroads
The report It not yet made, only being
decided ou lata yesterday, and while the
committee decided to favor the tax, they
hive oot absolutely decided on ibe rale,
but It will be about at follows: On tbe
grott earnings of railroads amounting to
$1000, per mile tbe Ux U to be i of one
per cent, and on each Increase of $M0 In
the gross earnings the tax It to be t of
one per cent additional. In fact It Is
graduated Income tax on railroads. Tbe
railroad people claim that this will
smount to a double tax. That cannot
be very well denied. Tbe extra expense
of extra cars for the races will help keep-
Ins the railroads from getting too
"btgotty," that It certain.
Scotland county had another hurrah
In tbe Senate yesterday. Senator Mo-
Intyre opposed the bill and was red hot
and personal and taid that the Demo;
cratlc party would be hurt if the dlvlsoa
vu made. Ha asked that the settle
ment ot the matter be left to the vote of
the cltizent living In the area ot the
proposed new county of Scotland. Sen
ator Glenn said that ho was In favor of
the creation of thejnew county. Be
believed that the new county would be
sufficiently large to stand on Ut own
strength. Glenn made an elegant plea
for the new county, and wat loudly ap
plauded by tbe Scotland contingent,
which had filled the lobby and the gal'
leriet. Senator Hicks also made a speech
for Scotland, as did Senator Travis. Tbe
discussion of the bill was protracted.
At 2:80 Senator Cocke, called for the
previous question. Upon tbe roll being
called the vote on the bill stood ayes 88,
noet 4. The bill hat now passed second
reading, and goes on tomorrow's cslen
dar for final passage One more day and
the agony will be ended and It will be
"Dcotiana lorover.- . , ,
Senator Osborne requested that the spec
ial orcer forjudge Norwood's Impeach
ment be postponed once more for a day.
He said Governor Russell had not yet
come to his office and he supposed the
sestgnatlon of Norwood was In ' his
hands, at Norwood-had wired him sev
eral days since that It had been sent to
the Governor. The special order was
accordingly postponed for 84 hours.
Tbe bill to provide for the State Guard
was made a special odrer at 1 o'clock
Monday. ,
Rountree made a motion that the
censtitutlonal amendment as to the suf
frage be made special order tor Friday
at the expiration of tba morning hour
and he called on the Democrats to be
present and ready to vote His motion
prevailed. The form of the amendmtnt
being practically agreed on, there is not
likely to be much debate, If any; Repub
licans will be like lamb led to the
slaughter, and to mix metaphors, will
be dumb as oysters.
It having developed that some doubt
had arisen among, the Senators as to
whether there should have been a joint
ballot or a separate ballot for the board
of Internal improvements, tbe Senate
held a separate election. Allen of Wayne
suggested that the House take the tame
course. The House then went into the
I. election and succet sfully passed through
the formality without losing a man
from exhaustion.
A bill passed the House to provide for'
tho election of the State's proxy on the
I North Carolina Railway, and of the
State directors of the tame by tbe board
' of the internal improvements; These

said tbongbl the matter ought not to be

Patterson, of Robeson, said that tbe
deaf mute directors were selected by tbe
committee oa deaf, dumb aad blind.
Winston said that be understood tbst
some of tbe directors on tbe list were
those who bad served ander the fusion
administration. Hartsell said be could
aame ana, Gilliam made a motion to
postpone action nntil noon next Monday.
This was adopted,
la the Senate the deba'.e oa this bill
was right spicy. Accusations of rather
serious nature were made
