half: and that no other than the counsel
be- heard TO speak on this question ex-
ccpt IN explanation Of his vote, and that
speeches in explanation of vote be
limited 10 two minutes"
Mr. Craig repeated the inquiry as to
whether the Wilson's wanted counsel.
Still the friends Of the Wilson's spoke
never a word.
Mr. Robinson. OF Cumberland, objected
10 senator Jerome's resolution, because
ii cut off debate.
Senator Jerome thereupon agreed to
strike out that part of his resolution, 1t
was then adopted.
This was claimed as a victory by both
sides.
Mr. Winston. Of BERTHE. moved that
the case now be opened by the Cover
nor's counsel, with argument for three
quarters Of an hour; then the Wilson's
10 come in for an hour and half. aud
the Governors counsel 10 close for three
quarters of IN hour.
Mr. Thompson, of Onslow, suggested
that the proper course would be 10 in
form the Governor of the action taken,
and ascertain whether or not he had
counsel and if so whether they wanted
to he heard.
Mr.. Rountree, of New Hanover. made
Il motion to this effect. 1T prevailed and
Messrs. Rountrec and Thompson were
appointed II committee to wait upon the
Governor.
Mr. Ray. of Macon: "Woud it not
now be proper to appoint Il committee
to wait upon the other side and see il
they are ready to be heard?"
| The chair would appoint Mr.. Ray to
do that, though it was understood they
were now in conference in the lobby
| Mr.. Ray: Its in order then to now
wait OH the Wilson's and inform them
that they are on trial" uIaughter)
At this point Messrs Thompson and
! Rountree returned and Mr.. Bountrcc
reported that the Governor had sent for
his counsel and would report to the Gen
| eral Assembly as soon as he could con
suit with them.
Mr. Thompson reported that Judge
Avery had gone to Greensboro: that
Capt. Day had stated that he would NOT
be able to argue the case. He therefore
moved that further hearing of the case
be postponed until to-day at 4 o'clock,
when another special joint session shah
| be held.
Mr. Rountree thought the other coun-
sci for the Governor could argue the
ease without Judge Avery.
Senator Daniels thought the Governor
had better be allowed to choose his own
attorneys.
| The motion to postpone till to-day pre-
vailed and the joint session adjourned
| SO famous has this case become that
a great crowd Of people have tlocked

hear it. Yesterday the galleries and

capacity.

| whoii had formerly opposed at. Mr..
Mclean, of Harnett, and Mr.. Allen, of
Wayne. also spoke in favor of the bill.
Judge Allen read the following signed
statement from Senator Glenn. setting
forth the condition of the affairs of
Forsyth county:
Gentlemen of the House: For the
following reasons l ask you to pass the
act for FIVE commissioners:
LIST. The Democrats of my county,
who represent "a of the wealth and in
tclligence of the county request it.
md. Our county. though it has white
officers. is controlled by the negroes,
$500 voting and over 500 more illegally
trying to vote, and the white officers are
influenced by their surroundings and do
not represent the wishes of the best peo-
pie of Forsyth.
3rd. We have negro jurors, and our
| jury box for political reasons has been
filled with incompetent men, and good
mems names taken out until the bar of
the county feel that there should be a
change in the interest of justice.
18th. The Superintendent of Roads
was an incompetent man. who wasted
our money and on one or more occasions
had white and colored prisoners tied to-
gether, and was only stopped after
our people grew indignant and demand
ed it; and the present superintendent is
incompetent.
9th We do not think the settlement
with our sheriff properly made, as the
present board allows credits that he is
not entitled to.
9th. Since hearing of the defeat of our
BILL our citizens are protesting against
it and earnestly ask your honorable body
to reconsider and pass this bill. | can
only add that my people want this act
and | vouch for ii. and if my conduct III
the past deserves any consideration at
the hands of political friends, | ask them
to pass Il bill that | believe is for the
material interest of my county.
tSigned) r. b. GLENN"
The bill was antagonized by Mr.. Low
cry. RepD. member of the House from
Forsyth, and by Mr.. Hampton, CRep.).
of Surry.
They denied certain statements that
had been made as to the bad condition
of the county affairs; said no county in
the State had three better or more COM
petent commissioners. and claimed that
the bill had been introduced and was
being put through for political effect.
and not because there was any demand
for it from the people.
On passage of the .ll on its second
reading. Mr.. Pctree. Of Stokes, demand
ed the ayes and noes.
The cali was sustained and the roll
call resulted: Ayes, 81; noes. Ia
strict party vote.
The Republicans objected to the bill
Icing PET on its final reading. The rules.
however, We're suspended and the bill
was passed.
As the vote was about to be taken, Mr..
Hampton said he was informed that If
the bill passed the present commissioners
would resign: and he added:
And | want TO further say that any
statement that the Republican commits
sioners of Forsyth are misinanaging its
affairs is a SANDER upon the people Of
that county, and | rise to deny and de-
nounce it."
The bill passed and now only lacks
ratification fo hp n law

Yesterday three sessions were held
morning, afternoon and night From 1C
ociock III the morning till IL o'clock at
night the House was in almost contin-
nous session, and when the hour for
auJournment finally came the members
seemed as fresh and good-humored as
when the session began.
Something like hundred bills were

Among the important legislation of
To pass the Machinery Act.

10 pass law regulating elections in

The abolition of the Railroad Commits
sion leaves DIR. Abbott. Mr.. Pearson
and Mr.. Caldwell without an office.
The three corporation commissioners
will be selected by the caucus tonight.
The bill creating this commission gives
all the powers to the board which the
railroad Commission has had and en-
larges them, and also gives control of
the building and loan business. and of
banking. The bill passed, fusionists

Mr.. Overman, of Rowan. introduced
the bill providing election law for coun-
ties and towns. 1t prescribes a
voting place in each ward, and where
there are no wards as many polling
places as necessary may be established.

fore the election the registration books

ienge. Ii fraud is found the name shall
be erased. There will be two judges of
election, of different political parties. at
each polling place, and they must be
able to read and write. No person not
qualified to vote for members of the

THE PENITENTIARY BONDS.
The Bill Passed by the House on its
Second Reading.

The Bill Passed by the House on its
Second Reading
The bond bill came up on its second
reading.
Mr. Williams. of Iredell, said it pro-
yided for IA very large issue of bonds
and he thought it ought to be considered
i'll committee.
This. course. Mr. Foushee. the intro
Queer of the bill preferred, but the time
left was not sufficient to permit of il.
as it takes SIX days to get a roll call
! bill through both Houses.
Mr.. Overman suggested that tin, bill
be passed IN its second reading and
then referred to committee with in
structions to report back to-day BY
pursuing this course no time wcuid be
lost.
With this understanding the bill went
through on its second reading and was
referred to the Finance Committee.
In explaining this bill, before its pas
sage Mr. Fonshee said the penitentiary
owed S11O.O00 and it had to be paid.
The only way TO spay it is by bond
issue or by a direct appropriation. Then
there are farms on which the lease ex-
pires before the next Legislature meets.
and the State must either renew the
lease or purchase, otherwise the options
on them will be lost, and the options are
much lower than can be secured il the
lease is renewed.
Northampton Farm, 49, acres, op-
ton y:,5. 900: now rents for 81, So0-S. II
per cent. lease expires January /, 1900
Caledonia Farm--7,29O acres. option
price $64, 165: rents for S3,35O-5.22 per
cent on option price; lease expires Jan
uary 1, 1901.
The State has spent thousands of dol
lars on these farms. and good judges say
they are now worth from SIS to $50 per
acre.
If the State does not buy. the lessons
will not renew the lease, but will get
land back with all improvements.
The bonds bears only per cent inter
est. $500. which will save S2,400 il
way of rent.

Until the will of the late Cornelius
Vanderbilt is filed for probate, it will not
be known how much federal war tax and
how much inheritance tax from the es
tate will be paid.
The war revenue tax on the legacies, II
is expected, will be 2 l-2 per cent, as it is
expected that Mr.. Vanderbilt left his for.
tune to his wife and children. If. as has
been reported, he left to members of his
family as much as $l75,O00.O00. the war
revenue tax alone would be $3,700,OO0.
The inheritance tax due to the state OF
New York at per cent would be nearly
$l,500,0OO, and the estate would pay in
war revenue tax and inheritance tax con-
siderably over $5,OOO,OOO.
1t has been suggested that Mr.. Wander
bilt may have made deeds of gift to mem.
bers OF his family so as to avoid the pay
ment of so large sum in taxes on his
estate. No information regarding such
deeds has been obtained by the officials.
