LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
Correspondence Of the Western Democrat.
RALEIGH, DEC, 10. IS56.

RALE1GH, Dec. 10, 1856.
MR. EDITOR: In the Senate, to-day, the
bill regulating the standard weight of grain
was taken up and discussed at considerable
length by Senators. 1t was, on motion of
MIR Cunningham, postponed for further con-
sideration until the 4th of March next, by
vote Of q to Z; this of course killed the
Bill.
The House, after having consumed three
or four days on the bill to charter the
'Peoples' Bank has just taken vote on
its second reading-57 for to 50 against
passing it by tuo votes. This question, to
a considerable extent, has assumed party
aspect. 1t is to be regretted that an Insti-
tuition of this kind, affecting so largely the
various interests of the State, should assume
a party character. By reference to the
charter you will observe that it is quite
different thing from the charter CT the
'Peoples' Bank as proposed two years
ago. The only feature different from other
Banks-and common to all similar institu-
tions-is that of pre- emption right of GER
tain classes Of our people to all the Stock
of said Bank. 1t proposes to prefer 10 this
enjoyment, the Stockholders in all the Rail-
roads of the State, provided the entire
length of said roads are within the limits of
the State.
In the Senate, the Bill to construct the
Cheraw and Coal Field Railroad, after con-
siderable discussion, was lost by several
votes. A motion was made to reconsider,
pending which, q motion to adjourn pre-
vailed. The Bill to re-charter the State
Bank was made the special order of the
day for Monday. Notwithstanding the pas
sage of the "People's Bank on its second
reading, and the efforts being made on the
part of the friends of that Bank to destroy
and defeat the State Bank charter, have
but little doubt of its passage-there can be
no doubt of it in the Senate at lcast--and
| cannot believe it is possible to prevent its
passage in the House.
The greatest possible amount of opposi-
ton is being brought to bear against the
Danville Road You will observe a COM
munication in the Standard, which is de-
signed to array opposition against the pas
sage Of the Bill. If this unjust Legislation
is persisted in, | hope the people in that
section of the country will go to work, in
dcfance Of La10, and construct that great
work Were it in Mecklenburg it would
be built. There are stout hearts and strong
arms enough in the home Of Liberty to re-
sist wrong and oppression come from what
ever source it may. They would go to work
with pick in hand, and rifle, if necessary to
the enforcement of right and the putting
down of the exercise of an arbitrary and
unjust discrimination. 1t is not sufficient
that taxes are enforced for other works of
internal improvement, but we are prohibited
from the poor privilege of employing our
own means i'll way that we may think is
likely to result to our advantage. This is
downright opprcssion-oppresion that no
free people could be expected to submit to.

the opinion that an editor who cannot stop
right in the midst of one of the finest trains
of thought that he is putting on paper. to

enter the name of new subscriber, or take
nav for an old one, and after all, to resume
the thread of his DISCOURSE and carry
out the idea in its original force and beauty,
is next to no editor at all.

~ The bill introduced by Mr. Waddill
relative to widows, : one of great impor
lance. 1t provides that all of the property
which may have come by the widow, in
marriage, and its increase, in case there
be no child, shall be hers, and not descend
to the nearest of kin on the husbands side.
And in case there may not have been any
property coming into the estate, it does not
interfere with the existing law which now
gives her half the estate.
\ law of this sort, if practicable in its
provisions, would surely do justice to those
to whom sufficiently small protection has
been heretofore given. We would almost
approve law still more comprehensive
and favorable to the widow, viz: that all the
property of the deceased husband however
acquired after paying his debts should
under such circumstances, be hers alb
solutely.-Raleigh Register.

In the House of Representatives on the

PAYING A MEMBER FOR DOING MOTH
ING.-The act of last session for compen-
sating members of Congress pays members
about % dollars per day for attendance,
and deducts So 335 for each days absence;
so that a member who stays away during
his whole term, will henceforth be entitled
to draw about 1000 dollars from the treas
ury. This is pretty good premium for
doing nothing. If the principle is right of
making deduction on account of absence,
the amount deducted should at least be
equal to the amount received for being pres
ent.-PhU. Ledger.

This will inform you that Malcolm Sin

committed suicide by cutting his throat on
the 18th ult. He was a single man never
was married, and resided with his sister,
lady without any family. These two
persons being the only members of the
family, the sister being also between 20
and 80 years of age, and so much afflicted
at the time that she was not able to get off
her bed without help. In this situation he
(Malcom) left her on the day before named
telling her he was going to a neighbours
house and would soon return. She remain
ed alone until the next day at 10 o'clock
when some person passed near her house
and heard her cries. Search was then
made by the neighbors for Malcom. When
found he was about a mile from home; his
own razor bloody in his hat, and he few
feet from the hat, with his thr,,at cut to the
bone,-dead.
