HOUSE OF COMMONS.

HOOOL VT SONlMONO
The House met at 10 o'clock.
REPORTS FROM STANDING COMMITTEES.
Mr.. Scales, from the committee on claims, report
ed in favor of John Wilson of Alamance county.
Messrs. Kerr and Badham presented reports from
the judiciary committee on slaves and free person of
color. RESOLUTIONS
Mr.. Hills (of Halifx) resolutions altering the
hours Of meeting and adjournment were laid on the
table-Gl yeas to At nays
Mr.. Simpson offered resolution that should the
present general assembly pass bill to raise more
revenue than was recommended to be raised by the
treasurer and executive of North Carolina, it would
be unjust uncalled for, nexpedient and oppressive,
Mr.. Fries spoke against the resolution. If the
general assembly would not establish sinking fund
let them say so, and take up the former revenue
bill and act on it. 1t was to form a reliable sinking
fund that the present revenue bill was intended and
arranged.
Mr. Scales said he must be allowed to express his
surprise at the introduction of the resolutions and
at the source from which they came-the venerable
gentleman from Rockingham, who seldom erred in
such matters, and whose experience should have
suggested different course, since he had been en-
gagged in the business of legslating before he (Mr.
81 was born The resolutions were an indirect
censure upon the committee of finance; and when
he recalled the names of which that COMMITTEES was
composed. and remembered how diligently and un-
ceasingy they had toiled day after day, and night
after night to frame proper and equitable bill
and how successfully they had met every objection
to the bill and defended its every provision against
assaults from all parts Of the House, it did seem
passing strange to him that any one could for a
moment, entertain the idea of voting for the CEN
sure implied in the resolutions No one, Mr.. Speak
er, can seriously suppose for one moment that the
present General Assembly desires to oppress the
people with unnecessary taxation or to raise one
cent beyond what the exigences of the require
but all must know that heavy increase Of revenue

In the war of 1872, Col. Carr held the important
office Of Lieutenant Colonel in the 18th Regiment
o. S. Infantry. under Col Pike, and was honorably
mentioned for his gallantry in several important en-
gagements with the British, and served several
years, subsequently, in the State Legislature.

The System Of Ad.valsrem Taxation. 4, e,
We publish below the resolutions on this subject
first offered by their author, Mr.. Biedsoe, in the
Senate, and afterwards BY Mr. Far,bault in the
Commons They were voted down in both Houses
the Legislature not being yet prepared to adopt the
system; but the members from Wake, we are graft
fed to state voted together in favor of the resolu
tons . -.....-
There can be no doubt of the practicability and
justice Of the ad-ealorsm system. Nor can the De.
mocracy Of any one who advocates the system be
impeaehed, for it was first suggested by Gov. Reid
in his annual message in 1852, than whom there is
no sounder Democrat in the United States Of
America .--'' rs- s.-
We do not propose now to discuss the question,
our only purpose being at present to reassert our
support of the doctrine, which we at once subscrib
ed to in 1852, when it was promulged by Gov.
Reid Mr.. Bedsoe, with his accustomed boldncss,
has espoused this doctrine, and was the first to give
it practical shape before the Assembly. Of its f.
nal triumph we entertain no Doubt
Resol0ea, That it is the opinion of this General
Assembly, that the government of North Carolina
established for the equal protection of all the
citizens and property within the mitsof the State
Resol-ed, That the government having been cs-
tabshed for the equal protection of all the citizens
and all the property within the limits of the State
justice demands that all should equally contribute
to the support Of the government in proportion to
the protection enjoyed.
Resolred, That in the collection of rerenue for
the support Of the government and the payment of
the public debt it is unwise, unjust and inexped-
ent to discriminate in favor Of or against any par
cular class of persons or any particular species Of
property, not contemplated by the framers of the
Constitution -.. ..,- ....
Resolred, That any system of revenue, imposing
upon any class of citizens or property, more than
their equitable share of the burdens of government
Republican Equality upon which the government
was established and without which it could not
exist
Resolred That the committee on Finance are
hereby instructed to Report Rereaue Bill upon
he principles set forth in the foregoing resolutions

schedules in the present bill. This would be short,
and would be more readily understood when unell-
numbered with the machinery of the BILL
To this tax bill might very properly be added an
appropriation bill, setting forth all the payments
the treasurer shall make in the next two years.
This would greatly simplify and systematic our f.
nancal department.
AS to the difference between the committee of
finance and the governor and treasurer that exists
in the imagination of the gentleman from Camden
only and not in reality. When the treasurer says
that it would not be safe to provide for less than
$4,000 annual increase of receipts, he speaks only
of the amount required by himself to meet the de-
mands upon the treasury. In two parts Of his re-
port he speaks of the sinking fund, and aludes to
the propriety of increasing that, as should be ad
vised by the commissioners of that fund. These
commissioners have made their report and urge the
necessity of raising the sum of one hundred thou
sand dollars from taxes in addition to the other
ceipts set apart for that fund. As explained in a
report of the committee on finance, handed in some
days ago, the committee had the $lOO OOU asked for
by the commissioners Of the sinking fund, and the
additional $4,000 required by the treasurer before
them when they were making their calculations,
and Mr. F. referred the House to that report for the
calculations.
Mr.. F. further remarked, that the gentleman from
Camden need not be alarmed that we would raise
too much money by this bill. Experience has
shown us that from some cause our disbursements
have for years been exceeding the amount provided
for. In the Bank of Cape Fear debt of $l5O, ,0OC
has been run up, and is now treated as funded
debt; the income Of the literary fund had been con
vertcd to uses of the general fund until we there
have upwards of $4,000 which is considered as
funded and strange it may appear, the treasurer
has been compelled to the money of the literary
fund another $50, 900 which now stands as an open
