THE REPRESENTATIVES..

Es
Our readers will find full sketches in our paper
to-day, of the proceedings of the two Houses from
Monday to Wednesday inclusive.
On Thursday in the Senate, no business of impor.
lance transacted. That body was engaged. for
the most part of the days sitting, Bills and Res
olutions their second readings and in receiving Re-
ports from Committees.
In the Commons, on Thursday, Mr.. Mclean
Chairman of the Committee, made Report from
majority of the Committee Constitutional amend
ments. and asked TO be discharged from the further
consideration of the matters referred TO them. The
Committee reported against the proposition to SUBJ
NIT the election of Judges and Justices of the
Peace to the people-against amendment limiting
the Legislature in its appropriations of the public
ney, and in favor of Equal Suffrage, accompanied by
bill Mr.. Foster, of Davidson, submitted a minor
ity report accompanied by bill, leaving it to the
people say whether they will havea Convention or
not and if SO, making provisions for election of Del
gates. The whole question of Constitutional Re-
form will probably be discussed in the House during
the ensuing week.
On Monday next the two Houses will assemble in
the Commons Hall to compare the votes for Governor
and Tuesday the Resolutions of Mr.. Bridges, in
relation to the North Carolina Rail Road, will come
up for consideration in the Commons.
On Thursday last Maj William ]. Clarke, of this
City, was elected Comptroller of State William
F. Collins Esq, by the following vote: Clarke 81,
Collins 10, scattering 8. We announce this result
with sincere qualification, Maj. Clarke is worthy,
in every respect of the confidence reposed in him by
his friends and of the honor thus bestowed upon him.
He will make OF the best officers the State ever
had. We consider him peculiarly qualified for the
post and we are confident he will discharge his
duties as to attach his numerous friends still more
strongly to him. We know the man.
The most important Office in the gift of this Legis-
lature-that of Treasurer-is yet to be filled. This
election will take place some time next week. The
people expect Democrat to be elected to this post,
and it is the duty of Democratic members to that
this is done. There is safety in scattering votes.
or in voting agaiest the party nominees. The Wings
have had the State Government for fourteen years,
and in all that period they have uniformly preferred
and promoted their own We owe it to our
principles, to sefrespect party, and to the
Governor elect, TO adopt the same course towards
them and especially with reference to this important
office of Treasurer. We hope, therefore, that our
friends will present united front in this election
and tina. sound and able Democrat will be elected.

There was report in circulation yesterday in the
CAPITOL that the and perhaps the representa-
tive from South Carolina would attend the session.
and that their Legislature had passed. was about to
resolutions TO that effect. But could not trace
the report to any authentic source, nor could we as
certain the slightest foundation for IT, It was next
reported that two of the representatives of South Car
DINA were in Washington, but had not answered to
their names on calling the roll. This branch of the
report proved also erroneous; for Messrs. Burt and
Holmes in their seats, and answered to their
names. Neither5of the senators was in his place !;
for it seems that Judge Butler had arrived, and ii
is probable that Mr.. BarnweIl will not come on, as
the Legislature of South Carolina is now in session,
and will supply the vacancy by new election.

The Washington Republic copies and endorses Mr.
Gilmer's Resolutions on Slavery. We have but little
doubt that these Resolutions embody Mr.. Badgers
present views and sentiments this subject; but the
Republic is mistaken if it supPoses the people OF
North Carolina will either " approve" or heartily
support - the so-called Compromise" They ac-
quiesce in these misunderstanding more. They Will
not kiss the hand that smites them, nor exut over
system of policy which deprves them of every adj
vantage in California far slave labor is concerned.
and which then compromises over plain guarantee
of the Constitution.

being argued few days since in New Orleans. The

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 80. One of the most appalling
and destructive tonadoes which has been experienced
in the Mississippi Valley for several years occurred
about oclock in the afternoon II swept over the
town of Cape Girardeau situated on the Mississippi
river just below ST. Louis, and demolished some sew
eny eighty buildings, many of them the finest and
principal business houses in the place.
The Baptist and Catholic churches and the Catho-
lie convent were destroyed.
| The steamboat Saranac had her upper works COM
pletey blown off, and several persons on her were
verely injured, and some probably. were drowned:
The wharf-boat was blown from her mornings, and
almost irreparably injured.
In order that you may Judge of the tremendous Vi
oence OF the storm, will state that cow was UNI
tremendously lifted off her feet on terra rma and de-
posted in the top OF tree sixty feet from the ground
The loss OF lite by this awful visitation cannot as
yet be ascertained, but is certainly very great
numbers are doubtless buried beneath the ruins Of
the fallen buildings. There are also great number
of persons who are seriously injured, and some of
them are so crippled and manned that they will
recover from the effects.
The town is literally torn in pieces and looks tru-
Nv wo-begone. Many citizens who this morning
TO be seen with light hearts and smiling faces, are

weeping for their friends who have been thus untne-

here it. And what, may we ask. would be the re-
suit of Conyention2 Do gentlemen suppose that
any Convention which could be Called would inter-
! fere with the present basis? Could such body do
more than establish Equal Suffrage and provide for
Judges Solicitors, and Justices by the people? And if
no-and if these results be attained by legisla-
tive action, why call it? Why incur an expense Of
some thirty or forty thousand dollars, especially at
time like this, when the Treasury is empty and when
the taxes on the people must of necessity, be in
creased? Why foment strife and discord between
sections when the section which, it declared, calls
for the white basis, obtain that basis at the
hands of the majority! Why provoke contest IN
which the two sections will for time be arrayed
AGAINST each other, and then fall back to their old
positons, with the relative weight and power they
had before but with feelings inamed and resentments
more deeply seated. Would such course be wise!
IYuuld IL be in accordance with the Wishes and eT-
pectatioss of the original and sincere friends Of Equal
Sssfrage2 We think not.
If we have spoken freely on this subject, we have
done so the occasion appeared to demand 1t at
our hands, We do not mean to reflect upon any one,
or to assign to any gentleman false position but
our daty it is our purpose to discharge, five know
