EDITOR HERALD:
The lawmakers of the State re-asseinbled
on Tuesday evening last The House re-
nothing TO do. The Senate spent some time
in discussing Gnwise buncombe resolutions.
Wednesday bills were reported from Com
mittees in both Houses. There seems to be
but little chance of passing any Senatorial,
Legislative or Congressional apportionment
bills, at least Senatorial and Congressional.
The Dourbons are more unreasonable in
their demands than they were at the last
session. The bill reported by them from
Committee is the most iniquitous of all the
bills yet offered it, however, receives many
curses from the Democrats They are at
sea. They are at war among themselves,
and no one can now tell on what they will
agree, or finally settle. The Republicans are
firm and united. They know their rights,
which are the rights of the people, and
knowing them, dare maintain them. They
will fight it out on that line, if it takes all
summer.
iHc Ptoptt dIc lDt W OuL Ol
their rights because we have Democratic
Governor and Democratic House by acci-
dent, the result of little family quarrel in
| the Republican party. That unpleasantness
is all being speedily removed and healed up,
and the conduct of the Reform Governor
and House have done much 10 unite the Re
publican party. 1t is said that the Reform
Governor is getting sick of the extraordinary
/ session. Shouldn't wonder II was great
mistake in ordering it. The people have
| liyed under the present apportionment laws
tor moro than nine years, and they never
enjoyed better health or greater prosperity.
1t will require about three weeks yet to as
certain that nothing can be done. Then the
PEOPLE will want TO know why this extra
session was called, and why this additional
expense is put upon them. Who is re-
sponsible? Let the expenses be paid, let
the members, officers and employees be paid
according to law, and then let the people,
which they will, hold the party at fault re-
sponsible The Republicans have nothing
to fear; they can defend, and fully justify,
their cause before the people. The Bour-
bons never were capable of any good, for
twenty-five years their only object seems to
have been to obstruct the government and
trample upon the rights of the people. More

fortunately, was discovered before it had
made much headway, and as our people
have had considerable experience in this
kind of fighting, they soon had it under con-

in the butchering business were destroyed
The fire originated from the stove, where
some one was engaged in boiling oil. The
building, we are informed, was fully
insured.
