NJ. the store of A. Peacock & McCaullum
was entered by prizing the floor, and goods
amounting to fifty dollars carried off. Mr..
Kelly was absent at breakfast at the time.
Search was made, but it proved futile. We
have, Messrs. Editors, existing in this
county an organized band of thieves and
desperadoes, and SO thoroughly accom-
plished in their villany, that nothing but
the strong arm of the military will subdue
them. God save our country if this is the
fruit of Reconstruction. Thefts are COM
mitted every day, of the most daring ma
ture, and if not put down, this country will
be ruined.

The large number Of pupils examined
some seventy, it is stated-ex exhibited great

ject, "The Fall of Man.
The Commencement Sermon, by Rev. J.

RALEIGH, II. c., July 8-P. II.
The proceedings of the General Assembly on
Monday, Tuesday, and to-day are of no general
Interest. Enrolling and Engrossing Clerks have
been elect ed, the latter, OHara, negro, is con-
sidered better qualified than the Enrolling Clerk.
Mr.. Bowman, of the House, introduced bill
providing for Public Schools, and requiring sepa-
rate schools for blacks and whites. Referred to
the committee Education.
Caucussing and eectioneering for United States
Senators are kept up continually. It is rumored
that the friends of Gen. Abbott, of New Hamp-
shire, and John Pool. OF Pasquotank, have formed
a strong combination to secure the election. This
plan, if successful, would deprive the West of
Senator, and also defeat Gen. Dockery.
Next Tuesday will determine the matter if hot
sooner determined in caucus.
It is understood that Gov. Holden and his new
Board of Supervisors Of the State Lunatic Asylum,
one Of whom is a Canadian negro preacher, have
removed DR.. E. G. Fisher, the able Superinten-
dent OF the Asylum, who has been in that posi-
ton since its establishment, and appointed DR..
Grissom, county physician from Granville.
Other removals and appointments of the same
Itness are expected.

Therefore, be 1t reSOtUed 6y the House Of Repre-
sentat1Ues of The State Of North Carolina, That q
Committee, consisting of five members, be APP

and report thereon to this House, at an early Gay,
in order that such action may be had in the prem
ises as may comport with the dignity of the body
and the time honored purity of the bench of the
State.
Mr. S. said he regretted the necessity of
presenting resolution, but the behavior
of the gentleman referred to since his cleo
ton was such, unless due punishment was
inflicted, as would bring the bench of the
State into everlasting disgrace. Mr.. S.
read an extract from daily paper will
mington Journal), stating the outrageous
behavior of that official in Weldon, and
mentioned his arrest in this city for an in
decent exposure of his person.
Mr.. S. moved the adoption Of the resolu-
ton.
MIR. Bowman moved to lay it on the ia
BILE.
Mr.. Sinclair demanded the yeas and
nays.

fused to lay it on the table by a vote of yeas

j. g. Harris, of Wake (negro), wanted a
direct charge, properly authenticated

ton.
Mr.. Ingram moved an investigation i'm
mediately, as he well knew the charge to
be true.
Mr.. Estes made it point of order that
the resolution referring to Mr.. E. W.
Jones was out of order, as Mr.. Jones was
not yet Judge-he not having been quail
fed.
The Speaker sustained the point, and
Mr.. Sinclair withdrew the resolution.
After some further debate, Mr.. Sinclair
said that he had just learned that Mr.. Jones
qualified yesterday. He, therefore, offer
ed the resolution again and moved its adop-
ton.
MIR. Seymour moved to postpone until
Monday next. Carried.
