MIR. Martin, from the Committee of Con-
ference ON per diem, reported in favor of the
House bill as originally passed, allowing S.
per diem and 90 cents mileage, and $6 to
Clerks.
Mr.. Sparrow moved that the House concur
in the report of the committee.
On this motion, Mr. Robinson called fer
the yeas aud nays.
The call was sustained.
Mr. Crawford strongly opposed the adop-
ton of the report. Thought four dollars
per day amply sufficient to provide for the
wants of members. He had received letters
and a telegram from his constituents warn
ing him not to vote for more than four dol
lars; therefore he was opposed to concur
renee.
Mr.. Martin thoughtif the gentleman (Mr.
Crawford) was to be governed by letters
and kilograms from his friends, he would
have hard road to travel, as representa-
tive. A rejection CT this report would be
legislation against the poor representatives
in the House. When Gastoni was a repre-
sentative at So per day, remember that he
had men like some that are now seated ON
this floor, working his farm and making his
meat and bread There were many poor
men here, and they could not live in Raleigh
on four dollars per day. He was ii favor of
five dollars, and would not be dictated to by
the Senate, and would not recede from his
position. Some of his friends had urged
him not to vote tor five dollars, as that, if
carried, would perhaps kill the bill to call
Convention, as the bill provided that
members of the Convention should receive
the same pay as this body.
Mr.. Marler was in favor OF low pay as he
was in favor OF retrenchment, &c. He could
not vote to reduce the fees of other county
and State officers unless he voted to reduce
his own pay.
Mr.. Sparrow understood that the Senate
had already refused to concur in the report
under consideration: therefore debate was
desist from this disgusting scene.

was taken up as special order.
Mr.. Johnston, of Buncombe, moved to
postpone consideration of the same till

Mr.. Justice opposed this motion. He could
not understand why the Conservative mem
bers OF the House wanted to postpone the
resolution. He knew that they were going
to take recess, and had resolved So to do
in caucus. Why not come out and vote for
it now. He was opposed to their legislation

corning the action of His Excellency, W. W.
Holden, in calling ont troops to invade the
Counties of Alamance and Caswel &C., to
put down Instruction, and impeaching the
Governor of high crimes and misdemeanors
in SO doing. The articles deliberately recite
the arrests &C., made by the State troops in
the months of June, July and August, de
claring the same to have been illegal and
prompted by corrupt and wicked motives.
THE papers are so voluminous that we can
not present them to our readers in to-days
issue. They will appear to morrow ger5a-
