EVENING SESSION.
Mr.. Hodnett moved to take up the report of
committee on Privileges and Elections in re-
Xtioi| 10 the alleged election frauds in Casweli
county. He objected to the position OF the COM
mittee, to-wit: that they received the ballots
counted BY the officers Of General CANDY, instead
of those held by the poll-holdes In Yanceyville
especially as the latter had acted while under
oath, and had counted the votes in the presence
bf the contestant, (Mr. w. Carey,) who declared
himself satisfied, there being majority of 10
votes against him. He complained Of unfairness
in the appointment of the two commissioners,
they being Of the same party as the contestant,
and also that the said commissioners had. gone
to Caswell without giving the people OF that
county and the friends OF Mr.. Long any noticcof
their coming. He offered the following substi-
tute for the report of the committee:
WHEREAS, William Long, one of the Repre-
sentatives elect to this House from the county
of Caswell is banned by the 14th article of the
Constitution of the United States; therefore,

Speaker OF this, House be Instructed to report
this fact TO the Governor, to the end that an

Mr.. Rhodes introduced joint resolution In
relation to the management of the Rail Roads
in which the State had an interest Considered
under suspension of the rules. 800 s;a7
Mr.. Sinclair said that considerable revenue
was derived to thu State from her Roads. Before
the war the Wilmington 81 Weldon Railroad
paid the State soHe IOrty thousand dollars pei
annum. Since TIL war that Road had not paid
anything. If the feight was allowed to go oyeI
the Raleigh 81 Gasb n Road lin which the State
had no interest," tierewas consequent reduce
ton of the revenue that might be derived from
that quarter. 1t was the part of wisdom to take
steps to secure tle carrying of this trade on the
State lines, insteid Of permitting it to be carried
by private corIprations. He mentioned as a
reason Tor the adoption of the resolution thai
probably some 900 per year would be saved
| to the State.
Mr.. Lafin coreurred with Mr. Sinclair so ia,
as that gentleIlan went. He believed, how
ever, that the eleven Directors and thu
i President of tie Road were more competent
to manage this natter than ITO men, who knew
little or nothing about Railroads. He moved
that action on p resolution be postponed til
the 3rd Mondayin November next, .f.
