THE PEOPLE DISSATISFIED WITH THE LEGISLA-
TON OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY-PROS-
PECTs OF THE ADOPTION OF THE BILL FOR
A CONVENTION.
RALEIGH, April 1.-THE Legislature of this
State after session of about five months adjourned
last Thursday The chief transaction the mpeach
ment Holden and the Conservatives took to them
selves considerable credit for their in the matter
Yet with all their apparent confidence In the value OF
their services it could still be perceived that there was
among them under-current Of fear that the people
would not approve their course and that their long
sion the large amount Of money expended would not
be fully balanced in the public mind by the services rem

Their first undertaking to sufficient num-
Der OF Republicans to get two-thirds majority One
instance OF these removals was that OF W. A. smith,
Senator and President Of the North Carolina Railroad
Company The removal was an utter violation OF law
Mr. Smith quietly aeqesced and the Senate lost one of
its most active members. In the same way gain OF SIX
votes was made In intellect and in business capacity
the Senate was far superior TO the House The latter
body was mostly composed Of young men-amOst boys
who seemed never to form any Judgment until they had
reconsidered matter two or three times.

ton plainly indicated considerable anxiety the part
Of himself and his associates. They elected on the
understanding that taxes TO be reduced and gene
rally that great ndenable good TO be done for the
people The taxes have not been reduced and, by in
judciOus system Of allowing counties TO issue bonds

taxation has been increased At the same time the party
put forth great show of economy by reducing salaries
and abolshng Offices.
The next subject Of Importance that occupied the
Legislature the act providing for State Convention
to amend the Constitution 1t passed both branches OF
the Legislature and was sent to the Governor for sigma
ture He returned it, however on the ground that, to
PASS an act calling Convention, it necessary for
twOhirds Of each House to concur in the measure In
This opnon the Governor was sustained by decision Of
the Supreme Court of the State The Legislature at
tempted TO pass the bill by twothrds vote, but faied
then majority adopted resolution that twO-thirds
vote was not necessary. Thereupon the bill passed by
majority vote. 1t goes before the people on the First
Thursday August If the Convention should be called
the present judicial system will be abolished, and that
existing previous TO 1866 will be reGstabhshed.
North Carolina forced into the act Of secession by
Virginia and South Carolina. Her people were origin
