SENATE

The Senate was called to order at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Carmichael presented memorials from sundry
citizens of Wilkes county relative to certain public
roads, Referred to the committee on propositions
and grievances.
Reports from committees were presented by Messrs
Speight, Lankford Houston and Edncy.
CAPE FEAR DEEP RIVER.
Mr. Houston introduced bill for the relief Of the
Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation Company,
and to protect the interests of the Sste therein.
Mr. Mcdowell moved the bill be referred to the
committee of the whole forthwith. Adopted.
The Senate then resolved itself into committee
of the whole, Mr. Mcdowell in the chair and the
consideration of the bill was at once proceeded with.
Mr. Houston said he felt no immediate interest in
any of the schemes presented for the benefit of the
work more than as they would benefit the State
lie did not know the amount of injury done to the
State or the private stockholders by the action of
the Senate on yesterday 1t was evident something
should be done in this matter, and his desire was to
adopt scheme which would be to the benefit of the
State and individual stockholders. After few words
on the past history of the work, he said he did not
vote last session for the appropriation of 100000
because he knew it not sufficient to finish the
work in satisfactory manner lie was prepared to
vote million of dollars to complete the improve
ment in permanent manner, as suggested by Maj.
Gwynn But all knew this would not be done by
thepresent legislature. Still something was to be
done. He had supported the substitute reported by
Mr.. Pool though it not to his entire satisfaction,
asa dire necessity. After some general remarks on
the substitute alluded to, Mr. Ii. explained the pro-
visions of the bill he had offered, which, however,
he said, he was not the author Of The provisions
briefly were that the State should assist the compa
ny, by lifting her mortgage to raise money on bonds
to be issued by the corporation, taking second
mortgage to secure what was now held under the
first and that in the event of failure so 10 raise

The Senate met at o'clock, and resolved itself
into committee of the whole, Mr.. Mcdowell in the
chair
Mr.. Ramsay submitted his substitute for the bill.
1t provides for a contingency of the sale of the
works, by empowering the Governor and four COM
missioners to bid sum sufficient to indemnify the
State against loss-the works then to be gradually
sustained and completed under limitation of $780,
600 per annum for two years-eXcess of profits
per cent to be divided among the individual stock
holdcrs-and providing by future legislation for
surrender of the works to the company, &c.
/ Mr. Miller was an internal improvement man, but
now could he be expected to support this or any
other work after the vote taken by the House on a
measure to do but simple justice to his section Of
the State!
Mr.. Pitchford said the Senate was not responsible
for the action of the House.
Mr.. Pool entered into heightened statement Of
the course Of the committee on the subject, and re-
cited the various considerations which led to their
adoption of the rejected substitute. He then no.
tced the various plans proposed and their results if
adopted. He appealed to the Senate to consider the
matter carefully, and above all not to allow the
States interest in the work be lost
Mr.. Gorrell offered addition to his resolutions
providing that the proposed 100000 of new stock
should be preferred stock at six per cent. He de-
sired the work to be completed by the State and
individuals.
Mr.. Edney considered Mr.. Gorrelrs plan imprac
tricable
Mr.. Ramsay said that if they could not do what
they would, they should do what they could.
Mr.. Clark followed, and urged a compromise Of
opinion. After other remarks he offered as ar
amendment the amended bill rejected yesterday.

| Also one by Mr.. Eaney.

difficulty arising out of the question Of order. Tn
motion prevailed

PERSONS Wilmington, but he must fault her inor
dnate ambition to control all Improvements for her

njule other roads by the people Of Wilmington.
Mr.. Meares again warmly repced the attack upon
Wilmington, giving history of her eXcrtions in

mcnt, prophecying the most disastrous effects from

cases in Pennsylvania.
Mr. Co>tner reminded the House that the subject
