pal attention Of the Assembly since the Fourth Of July

question whether Mr. Russell Smith was OF was not 10
galy elected Speaker pro TEN. That's the KIND OF ne
sessa business with which Lag makers anuse them
selves during this hot weather Buncombe resolutions
designed to indOrse rotten platforms and bolster up
sinking politicians, Gil up the Intervals.
The Senate yesterday talked some on the Supply BILL
and among the attempts at =" retrenchment was mo
ton frou Mr. Pierce TO raise the salaries Of the door
keepers from SO 70 IS per day That IL retrencnmeRt
with vengeance But IL is consistent with the course
Of Thu" Democratic administration.

Few fancy unless il be the members themselves,
will mourn when the Legislature gives up the ghost II
ia guilty Of many sine II has squsDdered the peoples
money. II has wasted its own time ia party brOs and
angry contentious. Its most important duties have been
neglected while many things without the line Of is duty
have been attended TO with sedulOus care. And now
with all this load Of guilt upon it, it is about TO die, and
the dsemboded spirits composing t are TO return 70 the
people. What fate need they expectl 1t is now their
eleventh hour, and there is still time to atone for

Just mske the experiment
The HendrcksOn murder trial. which has been in
progress for nearly four weeks has az last closed The
case was submitted 10 the Jury Wednesday evening"
and after an absence of cents hours they returned
into Court with a verdict of Gully The prisoner heard
the verdict with apparently stole Indifference in perfect
keeping with his conduct during the whole course of the
trial Judge Marvin addressed him for near an hour
in eloquent and feeling manner and then sentenced
him TO be hung the 10Th OF August next The YER
dict il in strict accordance with public sentiment
This trial in many respects has been most important
one The crime is one of the most diaboca on record
IA the evidence goes show that the prisoner poisoned
his wife, young and lovely woman of 49, with aconlte
by forcing it down her throat while asleep The only
external evidence of violence bruise on the lip
but the post norton examination clearly indicated that
abe died from poison and chemical anal, sis OF the
contents OF the stomach demonstrated the poison to have
been aconte-at least such the testimony OF the
chemist DR. Salisbury, Of this city, and the physclans
who made the post norton examination. The defense
attempted show that the tests used 10y DR. Salisbury
could not be relied on and also that the post morton ap-
pearance might reasonably be attributed to other causes
Both attempts were, hOsever, signal failures.
