Regulating the Telegraph,

RALEIGH, N. c., April 4.-Judge Brown,
of the supreme court. has decided that the
state railway commission has power to
fix rates on Geographic messages, for
points in the state, and no extra charge
could be exacted, on the ground that the
message was relayed by an office out side
of the state, the suit was due to extra
charge being enacted for the telegram
from Elizabeth, n. c.. destined for Wins
ton, n. c., on account of tramSRiSsiC
via. Richmond, Va. Judge Brown, who
is a practical telegrapher, in
deciding the case, says that
even if the circuit was broken at Rich
mOnd, of which there is no evidence, the
passage of the message would still be con-
tinuous. RELAXING a message is simply
transferring it from one wire to an
other, just as railroad cars are
transferred from one track to another.
If the matter was looked at in any other
way, the telegraph company could easily
make a great part of its North Carolina
business interstate

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
Action of the State Legislature and
the National Senate.

The question OF election of senators by
popular vote will be discussed in the re-
gular extra session. Hoar presents a re-
solution autagonzing the proposition and
showing how it subvertS the very idea of
the constitution. and will end in the over
throw of the whole scheme of the Senate.
1t has not yet been decided whether the
injunction of secrecy will be removed
from the Russian treaty or pot. This
treaty was the one originally negot-
ated by Bayard during Cleveland'S
first term. The Senate adjourned only for
the executive session. and it is thought
that extra sessions will come to an end
so soon as the contested cases of election
are settled.
STATE LEGISLATURE.
Senate asks return of concurrent reso-
luton from House, fixing adjournment on
April 10th. Orders the engrosSment of the
bill providing criminal court of appeals in
Dallas and finally passes IT. Bill amending
constitution so as to provide for the
maintainance of Confederate home by the
State pond. The Senate considers the
railway found bill, which the chair with
the aid of Senator Swayne attempted to
railroad through without canceling it
section by section. So many senators re-
fused to vote on the ruling of the chair,
that such tactics were in order, that the
vote to engroSS was not carried, no
quorum having voted. Adjourned.
House took up the substitute Senate
bill for preservation of firsh and game
by making such sport on the enclosed
grounds of another illegal, without per-
mission. The bill was so amended as to
apply only to enclosures Of 1000 acres or
less. Substantially the same law
that now exists. House passes bill
authorizing country courts to issue bonds
