point in the system. winter is pretty sure to find
it out. Constitutional tendencies to disease are
generally aggravated by damp and GOLD. (Rheu-

all the diseases which prevail most extensively
in winter. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters cannot
be too urgently recommended. There would be
fewer cases OF the pulmonary complaints tend
ing to consumption. il all feeble systems were
invigorsted during the season with course of
this inestimsble vegetable tonic and Alternative.
Constipation, indigestion, torpidity OF the liver
and general sluggishness or the secretive or
gaus, very generally prevail at this period Of
the year. To al these ailments experience (the
most Trustworthy OF all mentors) teaches us
that the Bitters is . reliable remedy. Warm
clothing is 3 good external defence against at
mosp heric cold snd moisture. but vigorous &C
tiyity in the vital organization which generates
heat and delivers it TO the surface is also essen

the operation OF the Bitters. The skin sympa-
thixes with the stomach. and it dig ton is
regular and perfect, the exterior circulation will
be brisk sud damp and cold may be encoun-
tered with comparative safety.

ne would say his character was as good aa
that of the gentleman from Carteret."
Now he wished to state that his remarks
Dad no reference to Mr.. Ashley's moral
Character. They W ere based upon the fact,
which had not been denied, that while
holding the high and responsible position
OF Superintendent of Public Instruction,
he was prostituting the Office by editing
the Standard, and misrepresentinp the
best people of the State.
As for Mr.. French's estimate of charac-
ter, either moral or political, he cared
nothing and was willing to leave himself
in the hands of the decent, virtuous and
good people of the State.
Inc gentleman from New Hanover is
both morally and politically incapable OF

heretofore.
Mr.. McOlammy was in favor Of the bill.
He knew that complaint came from his
county, and he believed it to be very just.
The way it was managed, the fund was
paid In the Treasury by the Sheriff. and
paid back to county treasurer. The State
Treasurer, Sheriff and county treasurer all

Der of scholars that one of these old field
schools would have done. He favored the
bill.
Mr.. Norment stated that every county
in the State, from which he had heard,
and that was a number, except Wake,
complained of the manner in which the
school fund was managed, and was n
favor of the passage of this bill.
Mr.. Troy moved an amendment, that
the word 'State" be stricken out. He did
not want any more investments OF school

Mr.. President, move that the rules be

lating to judgments against the sureties of
defaulting Sheriffs. 1t is we'll known that
Il bill passed at the last session of the Gen
cral Assembly authorizing summary Judg-
ments against such Sherlffs and their
suretcs, but by sort of hokus pokus art
much IN vogue here last winter in dealing
with bills that were Objectionable to certain
parties, tins bill was so eviscerated AS to
leave 1t doubtful whether judgments lately
taken against the sureties of certain de-
faultng sherltfs are valid. This bill pro.
poses to validate these judgments. Some
doubts may be entertained of the efficacv
of the bill, bat hope the Senate will pass
it, as IT is the best We can do in the
interest of the State; especially, as I am
told 10y the Treasurer, that the sheriffs OF
Wake and New Hanover counties alone
are IN arrears to the State nearly, if not
quite $1,000 one hundred thousand
dollars.
The bill passed its second and third
readings.
Adjourned.
