,9nsual form in such cases. To ass tie oFigi-
: nal resolutions giving more powef Than is
usual in such cases would be an 4cknowle led
! mcnt that this Assembly is more6Dfrupt than
any other Legislative body in the world. Mr..
Sweet had exonerated the Senator fiom
Montgomery, Mr.. Davis, and then every
Senator on the floor of the Senate should
have demanded if it was aimed Mt him.
There being no objection, the substitute
was offered, and the question REQUIRED on its
adoption. Il
Mr. 'HAIsRIs of Wake, said familiar ex-
ample of tie custom in such cases occurred
in the Convention last winter. when charges
| of corruption were hawked aboutthe streets.
, HeSreadsffom the Convention journal, page
III, and continued, saying that Mr.
Durham would state that under that resolu
-tion he had ample power. Allie asked was
to have similar one passed now. 81
Mr. WEIGH thought somebody was scared.
that these strangc exhibitions were evidence
of something terrible in the minds Of some
men. He stigmatized the statement that
this was aimed at the Republican party as a
subteriuge. and warned Republicans to take
care that their own fair names were not
tainted in efforts to shield others. He asked
what school had effected the change in Mr..
Sweet fr0mbeing nan eompos nasntis yester-
day to being intelligent to day. ~ n
trMr FRENCH regretted that partizanship
had been introduced into this matter. A
resolution was introduced by a Republican,
and Immediately set of most extraordina-
ry resolutions was substituted by Demo-
| cratic leader. He denounced it as deep
laid scheme to charge corruption upon Re-
| publicans, aided in its object by Democratic
presses. aHeiquoted from an article in the
Sentinel: why will not Radical leaders do
| somcthIng9 Are they all been bought
Have they sold out, lock, stock and barrel to
the "carpet baggers p 1t looks very much
Islike it" In reply to previous question,
lie thought Mr.. Sweet had attended a Con-
| sentative SCHOOL, ji3 sHiti2- 99i iiit4
+ Mr. WELoH said his query sprung from
Mr.. Sweets being called mon compis mentis'
| yesterday and "intelligent" to-day.
Mr.. FRENCH thought some Republicans
were weakened, because their counties had.
| gone Democratic at tile late election.
! The debate was continued at some length
I by Messrs Seymour, French, and Ellington.
/ Mr.. HAYES moved to adjourn The mo-
ton was not agreed to- i2 s'iiai
Mr. DOWNING asked why it would not be
proper to limit legislation to those partlcu-
lar persons, if, as alleged, the charges refer
red to certain persons
/ Mr.. BOWMAN said if it had not been stated
that those who favored the resolution repre-
sented the Democratic counties, he should
not have opened his mouth upon this sub
ject; but the gentleman from New Hanover
was mistaken on this point. He (Mr Bow
nlan) represented county that gives the
largest Republican majority in proportion to
her voting population of any county in the
| State; but he was influenced in his action
upon these resolutions from higher consider
ations than those of party. Whya The
Senate passed them unanimously and the
impression went out that the fraud was not
/ with the Senate, and if the House refused to
pass them, the people would believe that it
was in this House. Opponents of these res
Olutions would, before three months from TO-
day, agree with him that it would have been
better for every member upon the floor to
have adopted them unanimously He was
not present when the Chatham Railroad bill
passed, and therefore he had kept silence
He did not believe there was truth in these
charges; but if he voted against the origi-
nal resolution on the ground that it gives
too much power, he put himself into the at
titude of Directing to full and fair investi-

! Captain Sweat did not say the accused
was Republican. Believing that it would
all turn out to be farce he should vote for the
original resolution. The sooner the investi-
cation was had the better it would be for all
parties concerned: 1850. hadl.i1a 'oGG
