Backed Out.

On Tuesday night the House, according tt
adjournment,met at half past seven to 20 intf
Committee of the Whole. 1t was presumed
that the Democrats" would be fierce TO
preceed with the investigation, although
the great smeller, Mr.. Durham himself bad
backed out so ingloriousIy in the morning.
The surprise of the whole House may be i'm.
| agined when Mr.. Pou announced that he
wished to adjourn the whole business until
Thursday, and Mr.. Malone seconded the mo-
ton and made an ardent speech in favor
of it.
Mr.. Moore, of Cbowan, and other Repub-
licans very properly commended that as the
expenses of each days session of the Legis
latnre amounted to fifteen hundred dollars it
would, injustice to the people of the State,
tina. the business be conducted at the present
time. when it would involve no additional
expense. -..-
This fair and reasonable proposition Mr..
Malone vehemently opposed, and stranger,
then opposed the existence of the Commit
tee Of the Whole and declared that it was
a Republican measure to tchich the Democrats
were opposed!t! Such a strange announce.
ment astonished the members of the House
although the backing out of Mr.. Durham
had prepared them for almost anything. hi
If the Democrats did not originate the
call for an investigating committee who
did? Who offered the resolution proposing /
an investigation? Who did all in their
power to cause the people to believe that
frauds had been committed Who have
put on the airs Of righteous judges and de-
manded that they he authorized to detect
MIR. Durham and hs Democrat
ic friends have done all these things. And
yet MIR. Durham now backs out of the in
vestigation he himself demanded and will |
have nothing to do with it while Mr. Ma
lone says it is Republican measure! We
do not, however, so much blame Mr.. Malone
tor that speech. as We do Mr. Durham who |
odd MIR. Malone what to say.
The motion to postpone the meeting of
the Committee of the Whole was voted
DOWN. whereupon Messrs. Durham and jar
Wis seized their hats and sloped out of the
,allamid the laughter of all. They looked
IS mean as two sheep killing dogs caught in
he act. They no doubt felt as mean as
hey looked, for they were endeavoring to
neak out of an affair of their own making.
'aken altogether, it was the most com
lete confession of defeat that we have
yer seen. We call upon the people of the
tate to remember that these men who, but |
few days ago,were so loud-mouthed in the
Of intentions to investigate eve
ything and anybody are the first to back
at, and now declare that they never favored
ny committee of investigation. We call ,
pom the Democratic" papers, which have
cen so industrious in circulating reports vt
epublican corruption, to draw in their
orns and own that this business has re. s
funded to the credit of the Republican i
lrty and to the discredit of the Democrats. c
