RAJ. EIGH.
[From our own corraapondenl.l


here Tuesday night Of last week and both
are in their places and doing good work,
Settle for old Rockingham and Withers
for Caswel. We count on Withers to put
that " Milton Bridge matter on foot be-
fore the Legislature. He will run itthrough
fit can be run. II the people Of Milton
are in earnest about this move let them
correspond with their representatives.
A statute ought to be made giving the
Governor the right to commute as well as
pardon criminals sentenced to death by
law.
Our usually lcvel-beaded senator, John
w. Graham, Esq, twho works with adj
mirable industry In the Legislature, unjust
keep his eyes skinned on that little jewel
called consistency, or some fellow might
| get him on the liip:' lie got after Gov.
Caldwell the other day about the lease OF
the N. c. Rail Road, land Il was the best
thing ever done for the working peoplel)
when II was leasedsby Directors appointed
by Holden and not by Caldwell, who had
no hand in the lease. But herein lies the
kernel Of our senator's inconsistency He
attributed the .'long session" OF 80 to the
"want of Parliamentary knowledge Of the
presiding Officern Now, the presiding
Officer, was Gov. Caldwell, and you will
remember that Mt the closing Of that SEES
sion, our clever and talways) polite sena
tor, offered the following resolution
Resolved: That the thanks of this SEN
ate are extended 10 the Hon. Tod x. Cald-
well, Presd't. ofthe Senate for the dignity
| impartiality, and ability, with which he
has presided over its deliberations"
NoD was Major Graham ,Orong then q
riQla now? We care nothing about 1t
AS for Gov. Tod Caldwell, three shakes o
his hand Is ~ much as we know Of him,
and a fig foi his or any other mans friend
ship who don't choose Of themselves &
i give 1t. We just want to fight 1t out 9
long as we live on the square, and we'll d.
1t. Let Justice be done II the heavens fall
And now as regards these kuklux me
MORALS. They are no doubt gotten up b,
the radical party for capital The Legis
lature should treat them with silent oon
tempt. Let them throw all such behin'
them and go on to business.
Mr.. Strudwick of our place made &c
we're speech denouncing the authors
such resolutions in no very polite and un
offending language and We don't know
I but what we should have done the SAM
thing had we put ourself in his place an,
been innocent Of tie charges. Strudwlcl
takes good stand here with the member
and has great deal Of influence in tn
House His mind Is like his body stou
and unyielding but withal he carries |
manly heart and..we are pleased to see hin
working In the van Of the new era politi
clans. lie has introduced resolution 4
repudidte--a little rash--may be-and vi
think II would be better 10 compromise
I Pay HoH, ,rscdnt But we had best TO!
with II at present than throw II In the fire
It's debatable question though.
A memorial was read yesterday from
some citizens OF New Hanover count,
praying to expel Ham Jones the senate
from Mccklcnburg for being knklux
Itexcited much talk and windy gesticula
ton from few members. OF course !
was voted down. Jones was cool.
] Flemiug, hesena,cs from the Wcslnad
! a jealous speech to-day wanting the va
{ cancy Of United States Senator declare,
i right by twelve O'clock. II was thel
/ while he was speaking aud gcsiicuiaiin
: with his forefinger half past eleven. w
noticed these Honorable fellows wheneye
D they are making their Cen strike speeche
most Of their fellows are either scratching
away on letters home to their sweetheart
: and wives or have handfu! OF peanut
under their jaws n cracking. This ain
right.
