"a republican United States
senator, who has been in the city

has made it a point to call upon

his party, who was either here be-
fore him or has come since, states
that he is positive that there will
be no tariff legislation at this com
ing session, and that an extra SEES
sion will be called by the 18th o.
March. This, he feels we'll sat-

rather inaction, decided upon by
the party caucus. He is also con

the tariff bill which will b.
framed will be Put through

and that the extra session will b,

THE BENCH DIsGRACED.

Several days ago a report from
Evansville, this state, said that
Judge Norwood, who was hold
ing court at the above named
place at that time, was so drunk
while on the bench, and that,
too, while a man was being tried
for his life, that he was com.
PEELED to adjourn court and go
to his room.
If the report is true, (and we
take it that it is since he has
not denied it) it is a disgrace on
the state of North Carolina and
should cause . blush of shame
on the cheeks of every self re-
specting citizen. In speaking
of the disgracetul affair the
Biblical Recorder says:
This is not the first time
such disgraceful conduct has
been reported of Judge Nor.
wood. He seems to be hope
less subject of strong drink. He
ought to resign for his own sake.
If he does not, he ought to be
impeached. The Bench should
be kept above reproach above
all other parts of the govern
ment.
From reliable information il
is learned that application will
be made to the next General
Assembly to impeach Judge
Norwood. Leading republicans
favor this course"
He should be impeached. Any
man who has not any more re-
spect for the judiciary of the
state than to get drunk while
he is trying a man for his life
should have enough respect al
least, for those who put him il
Office to resign. If he does moi
