Fam now sitting in the baggage car--the
train rumbling-on top Of four trunks
piled one on top of the other. SO If my
manuscript is a little ziz-zagged you must
excusene; foryou know that's the way
the cars run. Frank Erwin Ii the Bag

" old rebn WHOM II through under Old
early and who fought his way up TO Cap
talncy ofhis company "Kp Of the 45th
North Carolina under Gen. Daniel, Bri-
gadc Commander. Itisa mournful fact
that these fighting old rebs are fast falling
into the decay Of the forgotten times and
their s'fancy mem --who laid like lap dogs
In their ladies' parlors while the fight
was going on and the lice acrawti,sg are
now the jumping Johnnies of these times.
our pen shall always keep them before the
public.
RALEIGH.
Well, the Legislature have arrived and
taken rooms.n That's their chief bust
ness it seems. They all appear in an an
fMhumor to curry favor with the people.
Indeed they speak ofadjouning Jy Christ
mast What did they come for? The
Governors message was read OH yesterday.
And Mr.. WEIGH has put a resolution be-
fore the House TO be made special order
for Thursday at twelve o'clock declaring
zeb Vance's seat vacant as United States
Senator and going into the election for
another man. This is level enough. But
why didn't they elect Ransom at first
when the Recorder proposed it and was
cussed at for doing 50? NoO they say
Ransom is the man. Oh yesl Their beard
has grown longer.
AS to the purging of this body of their
kuklux members this is all stuff. OF course
the Legislature can't take cognizance Of
crimes that the civil law has neUcy touched.
And unless il be proven to them that one
OF their number has acted in a manner
unworthy and sufficient to disgrace him
before their eyes they have nothing to do.
Senator Robbins has introduced reso-
luton 10 incorporate "three dollars day
per diem In the Constitution. This is
all bosh. And Legislature that would
adopt IL deserves to serve all their lives
picking up scraps In market house.
Who wants Legislator at three dollars a
ddgi Not North Carolina, am sure.
Mr.. Robbins must adopt other means to
honey votes. He had better do like Mr.. At
water give dollar day % The l,orl Ha,
Ha! No. Five dollars u day Is little
enough for Legislators.
There is something that this legislature
has never thought Of: 1t Is the practical
uuats fthcirconstituents. Let them at-
tend to the bridges, the railroads, the
county roads, the farms, the grog shops,
the seducers, the street bullies, the mayors
Of towns I'm giving them more power the
freights Of the farmer, In fact, everything
that win make poor hard working man
feel he is benefited.
