the time OF the Senate in explanation Of
the amendments which we're reported bs |
the Committee on Printing. and which
were adopted on YESTERDAY. He would |
simply say that these amendments should !
be retained in the bill. and if they. are
stricken ont this Senate will perpetrate
high crime against the people of the State,
and he was determined they should know |
who we're responsible for it in every par |
ticular at proper time.
Mr.. Cook spoke in favor OF reconsider
alton.
Mr.. Love spoke in opposition to the |
motion and said that he should adopt the |
same course as that pursued by the Sena- |
tor from Guilford, and not occupy the
valuable time of the Senate in again dis
cussing the subject. He said it was per-
fectly natural for Republicans to desire to
give the printing to their party organ or,
to be palmer, to the Standard, and for
that ne did not blame them. but they |
should demand that the Standard should |
do the work as cheaply as other establish

| Mr.. Sweet moved to strike out of the
bill in section 3, line 2. 8 and 4, the clause
proposing TO bind the laws, documents,
Journals aud codes at SO cents per volume
and $15 per hundred for all volumes bound
in paper, and for pamphlets in proportion,
and insert "at such prices as may be al

Mr.. Graham moved 10 amend the amend

such change in the sentiments OF the Sen
ate to-day from those they entertained on
| yesterday. The lash was applied by the
| editor of the Standard this morning, and
like whipped ours, they here tucked their
tails between their legs and walked in line
ready to perpetrate one of the most glar-
| ing outrages ever attempted to be perpe-
trated on any people. Possibly the whole
thing was cut and dried in secret caucus,
as is the custom ola certain class who wish
ed to force through extreme measures. l
protest against this action and shall with
others enter my protest on the journal.
Mr.. Sweet said he made the motion to
reconsider, and thought the Senator from
Rockingham had no right TO lmpugn his
motives, he denied the charge or 1nslnua'
ton that lie had been into any caucus on
the subject, and did not understand upon
what evidence the Senator based his re-
marks.
) Mr.. Robbins said if the Senator from
Craven had taken the trouble to read the
, morning Standard, he would have seen an
: article where the lash is applied to certain
Senators who, it says has acted IN bad
faith, who have violated their pledges In
: caucus, who have gone back on their pre-
misses, But Senators, we stand under
+ sacred obligations to the people, pass these
amendments and you have acted in bad
faith to them, and they will hold you re-
sponsible for it you pledged the people,
when they elected you, that you would
conduct the affairs of the State in judi
cious and economical manner, but you
have violated that pledge time and again,
Q and now as finishing stroke, when the
. State is almost bankrupt and her credit
gone You propose in the interest Of one
< of yOur party to increase her burdens by
4 giving price for work when other parties
! will do it for half the amount, you canno
l. answer why you do it and give gooo
reason for it. The people will mark th1
action to-day.
Mr.. Forkner said he would state tha
the caucus the Standard alluded tC
this morning was held some time ago, and
1f the Senator from Rockingham was presen
le at that caucus and made a speech. Their
