Editorial correspondence.
RALEIGH, Jan. 4, 1910.
The DissnissiOu.

On Thursday December 2Slh, Mr.. Hal.
sey Of the Senate, introduced resolution
which finally was adopted in that branch
of the Legislature, ins,rucling the Princi.
pal Clerks to dismiss their appoin,ees.
Major Conner moved to lay the resolution
on the table, and Col. Bower moved tina,
the resolution lie over day. They how
ever failed 10 their moiious and the reso.
luton passed: now this very serious affair
as It appears, is, or ought to be called an
attempt a. Christmas frolie, for there is
really nothing serious in it.
Two Of the Engrossing Clerks upon in.
ri'aiion. went down to Wilmington with a
number Of members, and were detained a
day or two longer than they anticipated,
such delay made the bills upon the En-.
crossing Clerks table accumulate rather
faster than the remaining Clerk could dis.
pose Of; which would no, have been the
case, had the other two not been detained
by an unlocked for event, that Of the cars
from Wilmington failing 10 connect with
the rscoming Fl ON the North to Raleigh.
Had this fact been known, We do not be.
lieve the resolution would have got doz
en- votes in the Senate. Mr.. Halsey is
very pancfiiious though, and thought the
Clerks we're not sufficiently 80,
and he introduced the resolution in conse.
quence no doubt Of this fact.
The Clerk e.. L. b. receiving his ap.
poin,ment from Mr.. Miller, had seen that
gentleman before be started TO Whining.
ton and he told him there was no Difficult.
ty in the way Of his going, to go il he de.
sired. Mr.. Miller did not however mean
at all that he could stay so long as the de.
lay caused him to remain away. But the
conference with Mr.. Miller before he wen,
away, clears him q. L. b. from the cen.
sure implied in the resolution of Mr.. Hal.
sey, that Of leaving his duty needless,
while at the same time /, can attach no
part OF The censure TO Mr.. Miller, he in.
tending that his appnin,ec should be in his
place sooner 10 The week.
Mr.. Halsey seemed, to endeavor 10 make
the impression, that there was reek's de
lay Of the business. and tina, some sixty
bills had accumulated. We do not start a
question Of veracity between The two En-.
crossing Clerks and Mr.. Halsey, for he no
doubt stated no more than what he thought
TO be correct; but it certainly does not
look like very great delay, when the bust.
ness was up. on the first day of the Clerks
getting 10 Raleigh, by about 3 o'clock, P.
NJ; and he (Mr. Miller's appoiniee) set.
lied with substitute selected by Mr.. Mil.
Ter, for ONE DAYS services, while he was
gone. Contrast that with a WEEK.
Is II necessary to add that The resoIu.
ton was promptly "indefnitely postponed, 7"
when il reached the House of Commons
that body understanding the circumstances,
which the Senate had not time to do, after
Mr.. Halsey introduced his resolution be.
fore they took action on it. Had Colonel
Bowers motion to lie over day prevailed.
no action would have been taken, as in the
mean tine The Clerks arrived from their
rery pleasant trip 10 Wilmington. NJ. n.

VIRGINIAN GoLD-We see it stated
that Commodore Stockton's gold mines
at WhltehilI. Virginia, are producing gold
very abundantly. Some new machinery
has recently been introduced for working
the mines, and the result has been very
satisfactory. Fifty negroes were employ
ed week, and the product was $4,000,
daily average of $27 33 to each man.
This is quite equal to the average yield
in California, 1t is supposed that as the
mine is worked deeper the yield will be-
