Condensed from State Chronicle.)
THE SENATE.
18TH DAY, JAN. 18TH.
The most important bills were the
following:
Mr.. Payne, by request, to prevent
the substitution of drugs in prescrip
tons.
MI. Aycock, to amend the Code
and require Clerks OF Superior Courts
t. make annual reports.
House resolution to instruct our
Senators a..d Representatives in
Congress relative t. the Force bill.
Mr.. Turner offered an amendment
to make it a resolution Of thanks for
their efforts 10 defeat the measure.
Pending the abortion Of the
amendment, Mr.. Turner, in an elO-
quent, able and intensely patriotic
speech, portrayed the evils that
would flow from the passage OF pend
ing election bill. His plea for our
homes and our liberties was touch
ng and pathetic.
Mr.. Walser earnestly opposed the
resolution. He "went for" the Mis-
sissippi State Constitution, and the
election Law Of South Carolina. He
regretted that this matter had been
brought up in this body, as it was
not matter for State Legislatures
to discuss. They have other busi-
ness to attend to.
Mr.. AycOck said that as il had
gone out that Eastern North Carroll
ma is the hot bed of fraud, he felt it
his duty to denounce the charge.
The Republican members Of this
body have charged again and again
that the east perpetrates fraud,
but when You ask one of the Repub-
licans here from that section ifthere
is fraud in his county, he can't an
swer the question. The Senator. in
pointed terms, defended his people
against .hese false charges. Is the
Senator from Craven in favor of
white supremacy?
Mr.. Wilcox said that when the
charge was made by the Senator
from Craven that the Democratic
party north is composed Of the low
and ignorant, he showed an ignora
nee of the people of that section; for
in fact nearly all the great thinkers
of the north are Democrats.
Mr.. Aston, (colored) said that he
was not afraid to trust the white
men of North Carolina. He did not
think we needed the Force Bill in
this State. The negroes of North
Carolina are better than those Of
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
and a law to protect them is not
necessary here.
The resolution as amended was
passed by vote Of 35 to 5.
Mr.. Lucas, a bill to amend the
State constitution with reference to
public schools.

tion 80 far as it may relate to taxes
