Mr.. Pou called up his bill regulating the ad-
mission OF attorneys to practice law. This bill
allows the Judges of the superior courts TO grant
law licenses, after examination of applicants in
open court, &c.
Mr.. Durham opposed the bill, as it would re-
suit in the granting of licenses to incompetent
persons, and thereby lower the dignity OF the :
legal profession.
Mr.. Justice OF Rutherford, was not surprised
that NJ Durham opposed the bill, or any meas
ure that proposed to confer power upon any but
the old system. He believed the Superior Court
Judges were better qualified to determine the fit
ness of applicants living in their several circuits,
than We're the Supreme Court Judges assembled
at the Capitol. The old arlstocratic system bore
very heavily upon poor Young men, desiring Ii
censs to practice III the superior courts. 1t sub
Jected them 10 the expense of going to the Capt.
tot TO secure their licenses. which they were
often not able to bear. There was no danger
that the legal profession would be clogged.
Those men entertaining the views expressed by
Mr.. Durham, should remember the remark once
made by Daniel Webster, wh", when asked il he
did not think there were too many persons aG-
mitted to the practice of the law, replied, "No,
there was plenty of room up stairs" lie felt
10 any one incompetent TO receive it.
Mr.. Vest advocated the bill.
Mr. Pou said he had practiccd law in thu States
OF Georgia and Alabama, where attorneys were
admitted to practice in accordance with the terms
proposed in the bill. He believed the bar in
those States would compare favorably with that
of other States in the Union. There was no dam
ger of lowering the dignity ofthe profession.
The bill thea pessed its third and last reading,
was ordered to be engrosscd and transmitted to
the Senate.
Mr.. Latin called up the bill authorizing the
Air Line Railroad Company to construct and
operate its road within tine limits Of this State.
The rules were suspended and tue bill placed

The committee reported an amendment stri-
king ont "on or near" which was agreed to.
McSsrs. Stevens and Foster desired that the bill
should be printed.
Mr. Latin said no appropriation was asked for
at the hands of the state, and therefore it was
unnecessary TO print the bill. The company only
asked permission to run their road some y miles
in the State connecting with the Central Road at
Charlotte.
Mr.. Barnett concurred with the views express
ed by Mr.. Latin, adding that the proposed line of
road would enhance the value OF the stock OF the
Central road in this State.
Mr. Stevens insisted that the bill should be
printed, in order that members might see what
IFS provisions WERE The expense of printing
was trifiing, when compared 10 the importance
Of the State interests that might be seriously at
fectcd by the provisions OF the BILL
Alter remarks by Mr.. Downing in favor of the
bill, and in opposition to printing, MI Latin
moved the previous question, which was sus-
tanned.
The bill then passed its second and third read
ing and was ordered TO be transmitted to the
Senate.
