nor desired it. He regarded the gentle
mans disapproVal as fcregone conclusion. n.
And IT the Indignation so vehemeutly ex-
| pressed here had been expressed last sum
| mer when men were arrested without any
authority of law, jailed in foul dungeons
and hung up by the neck like dogs, and
while so treated were given over by the
Chief Justice 10 the atrocious viii! of Il mer-
| cIless and blood thirsty free -booter, it
would have been better for the people and
for the State, and would have reGounded
more to the credit of the gentleman him
] self.
MI. Phillips again took the floor in de
nunclation of the resolutions. He thought
that politicians were endeayOrinG to hound
down an able lawyer. He thought twenty
years hence the people wonld unarimo ously
agree that the Chief Justice acted properly
III these habeas corpus matters.
Mr.. Jones, Of Caldwell, said ho thought
that the resolutions were worthless. If
the gentleman FROM Person (Mr. Jordan)
wished to take action in regard to Judge
Pearson 3 conduct, he should, after proper
consultation, Introduce resolutions of I'M
peach hmeLt, aud theu, without committing
himself he would take the matter into
consideration.
Mr. Wlther8 said tLat Judge Pearson
had emphatically Stated to the correspond
ent OF the New York Tribune that he and
Gov. Holden were il reality in strict ac-
cord, and Gov. Holden had made the same
declaration time and again, under the very
nose OF Judge Pearson, and il Laa never
been denie |. The only objection he had
to the resolutions was that they were too
mild, and regretted that they were not
resolutions OF impeachment, &c. Mr..
WltLers Continued for sometime IN kuC-I
port OF the resolutiOns and dtGounciug the
people and the denial Of prot ction and
justice TO them, &c.
Mr.. Sparrow said that the gentleman
from Wake (Mr. Philiips) had acted III
very unusual manner in forcing discus
sion upon the House at this stage. II Was
customary to refer bills and resolutions,
introduced by members. 10 the approp1i-
ate committee without any debate.
On motion OF Mr.. Johnston. Of Ban
cOmbe, the motion Of Mr. Phillips TO re-
ject the resolutions was laid on the table.
On motion Of Nj. As1e, resolution to
authorize :ue Treasurer to LOrrUw d sum
not exceeding $500, 900, at a rate of ia
terest not exceeding eight per cent, for
carrying On the State government, was
taken mp.
The resolution passed its second reading

He did this in order to strike out the pro

AIR. Edwards said he was in favor OF the

the country to know what character of

Mr.. Cowles did not insist on it to shield
John Pool, but to protect the Staee Treas
ury.
Motion to reconsider then prevailed.
Mr.. Cowles thon offered an amendment
that the committee shall not be entitled
