Mr.. Love arose to offer an amendment,
when Mr.. Sweet moved the postponement
of the question for five minutes, to make a
oofI TO ,o1o %Io
ond In order in the rules.
Mr.. Love protested against this action,
on the part of the maj jority, as unjust to
the minority, and was proceeding to dis
cuss the question, when the Chair called
him to order.
Thereupon Mr.. Colgrove called the pre-
vious question.
Mr.. Love asked him to withdraw it a
moment, to enable him to offer an amend
ment in good faith.
Mr.. c. declined. and Mr.. Love denounced
his course as an additional evidence of the
disposition of the majority to prevent free
speech.

the debate in which Messrs. Osborne and
Robbins most ably and forcibly opposed
the bill, and Messrs. Winstead, Jones, of
Wake, Lassiter. Wynne and Brogden, IN

took wide range and continued to late
hour. Our limits prevent a notice of the
debate to-day, but we will endeavor to give

Wilmington journal., 1868-08-21

The bill was taken up and passed it'
several readings.
Latin called up the bill to amend the
charter of the Western n. G. r. r. Com
pany.
Mr.. Pou moved to print the bill and
make 1t the special order for some hour
tomorrow.
Gambler objected to the postponement.
Old Major Downing, having refreshed
himself by good nap, thought it was
time to take hand he, therefore, moved
to lay the motion to print on the table
The motion was adopted, and the bill
passed its third reading by vote of yeas

charter of the Williamson and Tarboro'
Railroad.
The Speaker, not thinking a quorum
present, ordered the doorkeeper to hunt
up the " cheese and cracker brigade " and
seat them. They were accordingly march
ed in.
Latin called the previous question.
The call was sustained, and the bill pass
ed its first reading by vote of yeas g.,
nays 10.
Harris, of Wake, negro, called up the
bill to punish bribery and coercion in elec-
tions, drawn up by john pooD.
MIR. Durham was opposed to the second
section, especially. It was a matter that
this Legislature had nothing to do with
1t was perfectly absurd and ridiculous for
this body to attempt to pass such
bill. Legislators would stultify
themselves by passing such a law. 1t plain
ly showed the cowardice of the Radical
party. They endeavored, by all the legis-
lation in their power, to drive the people
into adopting their views and voting for
their candidate. It is, in spirit and letter,
an attempt to intimidate men from giving
fair expression of opinion in the next
election.
MIR. Sinclair said he thought the gentle
man misinformed as to the intention of the
bill. He put different construction upon
it. There were some objections to it
Strike them out and he would support
it,
Mr.. Argo was in favor of any bill to pre-
vent bribery or coercion, but wanted a bill
that would prevent such things, drawn up
in proper and legal manner-one that
would protect the rights of all-and not in
fringe upon the rights of any. He moved
to amend, by striking out 2, 3, and 7.
Seymour called for the previous ques-
ton.
The call was sustained and the question
recurred upon Mr.. Argos amendment.
The question was put, the amendment
was rejected, and the bill then passed it's
third reading.
Old Major made motion in regard to
the bill, to which no one paid the least at
tention whatever.
On motion of Mr.. Sinclair, the House
then adjourned.

NoTE.-The Reporter failed, on Satur-
day last, to get sight of Mr.. Respass' sub
stltute or to hear its contents. 1t is a mis-
take to call it a militia bill. It provides for
a Special Constabulary force. to be ap-
pointed by Justices of the Peace. to arrest
conspirators against the freedom of speech
or of the ballot, at any time, &c. Should
it pass. it will be published in full.
The reader will recollect that, in Satur-
days proceedings, it was stated that Mr.
Wynne. of Franklin, in reply to state
ment of Mr.. Cook, Senator from Johnston,
charged that the statement was lie. Sub
sequently Mr.. Cook asked Mr. Wynne if
he intended to say that he (Mr. Cook,) had
lied. Mr.. Wynne replied that he did not
apply that epithet to him, but to the state
ment itself, presuming that the Senator
had been misinformed.
Mr. Burns, Senator from Chatham, was
reported incorrectly, in Saturdays pro-
ceedings, as having voted against MIR. Res
pass substitute for the Special Militia bill.
He voted for the substitute.

INTRODUCTION OF BILLS,

INTRODUCTION OF BILLS.
By Mr.. Winstead A bill authorizing the
Norfolk and Great Western Railroad Com
pany to extend and construct their Road
through the Counties of Granville, Person
and Caswell. Referred to the Committee
on Internal Improvements.
By the same A bill to incorporate the
Roanoke Batteau TransportationC Company.
Same reference made.
By Mr.. Richardson : A bill authorizing
the Western Railroad Company to open
the navigation of Lowell river, in the coun-
ties of Moore and Richmond. Same re-
ference made.
The Committee appointed to ascertain
what amount was necessary to complete
and furnish the Governors Mansion re-
ported that it would require at least $1O,
900 ! after consultation with Messrs. w.
II. & r. S. Tucker. More than the builds
ing is worth
Mr.. Sweet offered resolution, propo-
sing to hold evening sessions, from and af-
ter to-day, to meet at o'clock, and pro-
viding ful ther that the morning sessions
shall begin at three quarters past nine.-
After some discussion, adopted under a
suspension of the rules.
A message was received from theHouse,
transmitting resolution resembling the
resolution to adjourn on Monday next.
On motion of Mr.. Sweet, it was laid on
the table.
Mr.. Sweet, from the committee on Pri-
vileges and Elections, to whom was referred
the petition of j. W. Stevens, claiming to
be legally elected from the oath Senatorial
District, recommended the appointment of
Mr.. Respass, Senator from Beaufort, as
Commissioner to proceed at once to Cas-
well county to examine certain persons
under oath who are charged in said petit
tlon with having voted illegally. Concurred
in.
The following bills were taken up and
disposed OF as follows, to-wit :
Bill to provide for the employment of
convicts, and the erection of Peniten-
tiary. Referred to the committee on Penal
Institutions.
Bill concerning the Courts of the JUST
ces OF the Peace, and the rules of proceed
ing therein, passed its second reading, and
after some discussion, referred to the com
mittee on the Judiciary.
Bill to amend an ordinance respecting
the Jurisdiction of the Courts On motion
of Mr.. Hayes. laid on the table
Mr.. Robbins rose to question of privi
lege. The Raleigh Standard, the govern
ment organ, had stated that he had delayed
legislation by resorting to Parliamentry
tactics, or by making factious points. H.
pronounced the charge to be untrue, anC
appealed to the Senators to bear him ou

was now adopted.
A bill to provide for the laying off coun
ties into townships, together with the re-
port of the committee to whom it had been
referred, recommending that its further
consideration be postponed until next ses'
sion, was read, and, on motion of Sey-
moar, the report was adopted.

made by Hon. Josiah Turner, w. M. Rob-
bins, Esq, and Hon, VIM. A Graham-all
of which wero received throughout with
the liveliest demonstrations of qualification
and ardor.
We have full notes of all these speeches,
which shall be written out and appear in
connection with the official proceedings.
The Convention took a recess after the
above proceedings to Al o'clock, P. NJ, to
await the reports of the committees.
At41 o'clock the Convention re-assem-
bled. The committees not being ready to
report, loud calls brought forward to the
rostrum, respectively. the Hon. Asa Biggs,
JamesC Dobhin, Esq, of Fayetteville,
John A. Richardson, Esq, and s. T. Will
hams, Esq, of Granville-all of whom were
received with enthusiastic favor. 1t will
not be regarded, we are sure, as an invidi-
GUS discrimination for us to say thatthe effort
of the gallant and gifted young representa-
tive of Cumberland, Mr.. Dobbin, was one
which, in point of eloquence, humor and
popularity, has rarely been surpassed in
any popular assembly. Other gentlemen
were called out-Hon. F. B. Satterthwaite,
Mr.. Argo and Mr.. Durham-but they were
either temporarily absent or excused them
selves for good reasons.
Subsequently the committee on Electors
reported as the Democratic Conservative
candidates for Electors for the State at
large:
Hon. JAS. w. OSBORNE, of Mecklenburg
Capt JAS. j. DAVIS, of Franklin.
Which nominations were received with
the loudest demonstrations. and Capt. Da-
Wis, who was present, was called forward
and accepted the nomiI alton in some pat
riotic and spirited remarks.
The committee on Resolutions, through
Gov. Bragg, the chairman, at late hour
reported an admirable series; but, on ac-
count OF approaching night, action was de-
ferred on them until this morning 10 o.
clock, to which hour the Convention ad-
journed.
We cannot attempt, this morning, to
give even faint idea of the grand demon
stration last night. Raleigh has neuer seen
it's equal. The whole city was one blaze
of light and enthusiasm, and the glorious
scenes and incidents, though they beggar
description, shall have such justice here
after as we may be able to do them.
Such overwhelming demonstrations of
the popular awakening cannot be resisted.
The tide is sweeping forward, and will
bear us safely onward to Peace and Con-
stitutional Union

AFTER MARRIAGE.

The following is from hr. Towle's ar
ticle on French Marriages" in Hours
at Home, for November:
1.-THE young wife, who has been close
prisoner all her life, whose every move
meDt has been narrowly watched, who
could not put her foot beyond the thres
hold OF her home except in company
with one of her elders who, il she has
been sent to school, has found herself
literally surrounded by high, plank
walls, shutting out the world; whose
every natural emotion has been carefully
controlied-inds herself at once, all OF 8
sudden, endowed with unrestricted free
dom to do what che pIeases, go where
she pleases and see whom she pleases.
From absolute confinement she has
leapt with bound into absolute liberty.
She Is amazed TO find herself on the
street alone she has entered almost a
new state Of being. And If she has
spirit, vivaeity and no very substantial
lesven Of moral and religious feeling. she
is toe apt to abuse her new found free
dom, and 10 enjoy its license TO excess.

the came course OF life as that which he
pursued in the days of bachelorhOod !;
perhaps, if there is any change, 1t is to

his Indictment TO msrriage,) enables

CUR FUTURE.
The South to Bring About /:
Commercial Revolution.

From the New York World, Oct. 27l
The Southern States promise to be the
motive power by which cur capitalists
and commerce shall be dragged cut OF
the rut in which they have been stegns-
ted since 1865 Last year the Sou b was
in debt, and is surplus money was mort
gagged to andswsllOwed up by Northern
capitalists. This year they are compar-
atively free from debt, bscause their
credit is limited. Their crop Of cotton,
tobacco, ete., are likely to realize in
money vaiue more than ever, at least
$500 600 .0OG The Southern crops differ
from those of the North and West, e.
sentially SO far as they affect our money
u srkets, nasmuch as they command
specie in the markets OF the world, even
on their own soil. Europe and America
compete to buy Southern products on
Southern products on Southern coil, for
cash, at the option Of the SoutherneF, in
greenbadks or gold. Besides the $780,
000, 900 Of produce sslAble fer cash, in
the markets Of Europe and America, the
S0utherners, owing to their poverty snd
the crushing policy to which they have
been subjected by Congress, and the een-
timens which swRy6d Northern capi
talists have this year RAISED corn, wheat
and ether food, which will leave them
with : larger amount OF surplus cash on
hand than the South has ever seen in
any one year since the foundation Of our
Republic. The Southern States before
this year were dependent on the Western
States for the bulk of their food, but now
they are not only wholly independent Of
thea in this respect, but they have COM
menced to be exporters of wheat and
-four. The Southern States will this year
reslizs from their products cash surplus
and net profit, over and above all their
expenses of living, OF at least f60, 600, 900.
1t Is no use shutting our eyes TO the fact
that there is q strong popular prejudice
against the national banks throughout
the whole Southern country, so that the
New York City bank managers will do
well TO prepare in time for the ABSORPTION
snd retention in the South By private
boarding of at least S60, 900, 600 in green
hacks, and perhaps some gold, The
New York banks are not 10 the condi.
ton they ought to be to respond to this
drain for $50, 600, 600 in greenbacks. The
South will not be put of with national
bank notes, owing TO the strong preju.
dice which exists against them there.
The temporary locking up OF greenbacks
by stock gamblers, limited TO about S10,-
0O0, 1000, Is of ,r,fiing Importance COM
pared with the locking up of $50, 600, 900
greenbacks In the South. Reference to
the contraction of greenbacks by Mr..
McCulloch will awaken some doubt as
to whether the aggregate amount in cir
culation will be sufficient to respond to
this Southern drain for $50, 600, 600, with
out producing financial Crisis in the
North. On October l, 1855, the amount
