As the President closed his address
the Vice-President and many Senators
grasped his hand in congratulation. Then
he returned to the Capitol, proceeding to
the Senate wing where a lunch had been
spread in the committee room Of the com
mttee on military affairs Here the
President was joined by the Vice-Presi-
dent the inaugural committee. distln-
guished officers of the army and navy
and a number of Senators and other in

Debate Over Bill to Pay Members of
Court of Impeachment.
TAxON CORPORATE LOANS WAS ADOPTED
The Penitentiary Bill Tie Special Order For
Wednesday at Il O'clock. Mr.. Gaiiis In
PRODUCES the Machinery Act. Roun-
tree to Fight inheritance Tax.

Mr.. Rountree introduced bill in the
House yesterday morning that occa-
stoned quite a debate. 1t related to the
session of the court in the trial OF inn
parchment, and provided for the court
under Article iv, sections and I, of the
Constitution, to adjourn from time to
time and hold sessions after the adj
journment of the General Assembly.
also that the officers and members Of
the court should receive a per diem
pensation' OF four dollars day DUR
ing the time of the session of court.
Upon the earnest solicitation of Judge
Conner. the bill was finally referred to
the Judiciary committee for further in
vestigation. 1T will be reported to the
House this morning.
The bill to apportion the several Con-
gressiona districts was passed, with
very little discussion.
Mr.. Ebbs called for the reading of the
counties composing the Ninth district.
He said that there ought certainly to
be one county in that district that

rate and distinct from their oath as

decide that the court could not sit af-
ter the adjournment OF the House, what
would you have them"
Judge Graham: I'VE would have

ture back here in three days" (Ap-
plause).
Mr.. Smith said the important ques-
ton was whether the court sat as a
body separate from themselves as mem
bers of the Assembly or not Unless
they do sit as a separate body, under
the Constitution they cannot be paid.
When the gentleman from Wilson says
he is willing they should be paid he
endorses the view that they thus sit
separately.
Judge CCnnor explained that he said
that he was willing they should he
paid, if they were entitled TO it.
Mr.. Rountree: II had thought this
House had already impeached these
judges. That is a fait accompli' Ny

States besides North Carolina. He call
ed for the ayes and noes on the third
reading.
Several members explained their
votes as follows:
Mr.. Gattis said that. believing it un-
wise to redistrict the State at this time,
but since it was q party measure, and
determined in the caucus, he voted
aye.
Judge Graham said he voted aye for
the same reason. He did not know why
some of the Republicans did not set up
and move to make the vote unanimous.
Mr. Morris. of Cabarlus. said he was
obliged to vote aye.
Mr.. Wright voted aye because the
caucus had decided the matter. He was
opposed to the bill, because it put his
county in Republican district.
The vote was "a to IL.
Mr. Gattis introduced the Machinery
act. technically known as the bill pro-
viding for the assessment of property
and the collection of taxes.
AS TO COURT OF IMPEACHMENT.
Mr.. Rountree explained the object of
his bill for the payment of the mem
bers of the Court OF Impeachment by
saying that under the Constitution it
was impossible tc pay the members Oh
the General Assembly while in session
for a longer term than sixty days. The
House. he said, has already impeached
the judges, and the Articles have been
referred before the Bar of the Senate,
and the Senate has alrady organized as
a Court of Impeachment. After thor
ough investigation the Board o. Man
ayers. assisted by their counsel. have
ccme to the conclusion that the senate
sitting as a Court of impeachment, can
be paid the per diem
Upon inquiry by Mr.. Oliver, Mr.
Rountree stated that the managers were
not included in his bill.
Mr. Rountree continued There has
been some doubt on this subject ex-
pressed by very fine lawyers. Person
ally. / had no doubt about it, and the
investigation has confirmed my opinion.
Precisely the same question was pre-
scented to the Supreme court of Kansas,
under a constitution less favorable than
ours, and it was decided that the Court
of Impeachment could sit after the adj
journment Of the Legislature and draw
their compensation. The further con-
clusion has been reached that 1t is not
necessary for the House to continue
its session"
Mr.. Craig suggested here that the
statute provided that the report of the

cording to the Conner Law on In

adjournment, even to the next session.
Kings long ago sought to defeat the
