"order;" but he continued, and the Speaker giving
way, he proceeded to address the Senate in the
midst of great confusion Addressing himself to
the list he SAID the of Graham was put in to

.~TMr. Edney made fierce Onslaught on Mr.. Turner
4 Any man of brains could understand that Senators
were not disposed to make magistrates of elons and
scoun,lres, as the Senator would seem to argue by
his estimate of his own countymen. If it was his
intention to object to those Of Orange why not do
without assuming the night to interrogate every
Senator on that floor? He had proclaimed to the
world that one of his own countymen had COM
pounded felony and in doing he showed his
own feelings but could gain nothing by it Why
should he continue to outrage the decorum of that
and the other house by his actious opposition and
needless waste of time; and he had now shade a
motion to condemn his own people under the spe-
cious pretext of working the roads.
+ Mr.. Turner replied and showed the necessity for
his course and the service he was rendering to the
State in wedding out her scoundrels He dwelt on

trading with negroes swapping whiskey for stolen
corn. and he claimed that as the first fruits of his
