OF State (suded To- in the message) could be turned
over to cesxipton without detriment to tho State
3 sernment.
This resolution ELECTED discussion in which
Asssrs. Person, Shepherd and Mclean sisted tho
reasons upon which were based their respective
votes on Mr.. Grissom's motion to postpone iadef-
officers" = -.
Mr.. Fowle regretted that the bill introduced by
!he gentleman from Haywood and intended to burn
as tire brand on the Conservative side Of the
House, had no other result than that of embarras-
sing his own political friends
Mr.. Love asked whether the gentleman from
Wake imputed to him, in introducing the bill in
question, the purpose of throwing fire brand into
the Legislature :,
Mr.. Fowle replied that that was the obvious pur-
pose Of its introduoe(6n. That was the gentiemans
intention. Charity itself forbade any other con:
struction.
Mr.. Love said he had no such purpose. The bill
expressed his views and he introduced it in compli
anee with the wishes of constituents.
Mr.. Fowle proceeded at length in opposition to
the resolution. He held generally that the officers
refined were necessary to the service of the State,
aud ,that4here were fewer exempted in this than in
some of the other States. He sdverted to the fact
that they constituted the only reserve force for the
defence of the State and alluded incidentally to the
fact that Georgia had 80, 0e0 such reserves while
North Carolina retained but II, 900, all told Even
this estimate was much too large as many Of these
officers held several Offices at once, either one of
which would secure his exemption from conscrip.
tion He for ono should oppose to the last any in
reference of Confederate authority with officers
empted by the laws of the State. -
