BUycoMBE HILLS.

A certain North Carolina statesman
from Buncombe county was once max
ing speech on the floor of Congress
which was not particularly relevant to
the subject under discussion. and, when
auizzed abou. 1t, replied: "Oh, this is
for Buncombe."
The incident gave name to those
speeches in every legislative assembly
which, are not intended to influence
legislative action. but are merely
meant for home circulation and con
sumption. The same name may not
inappropriately be applied to those
measures which are proposed in every
legislative assembly without any hope
or intention that they should become
laws. but merely to make the repre-
sentative solid with some portion OF
his constituents.
Not having examined in detail the
bills already introduced into the new
Legislature, The Times-D dispatch Is un-
able to say whether any of them are
of this character, but, having some
slight knowledge of human nature and
some acquaintance with the character
OF many bills heretofore introduced at
other sessions, 1t Is not unlikely that
some OF the character described may
be introduced at this session.
Without being extreme to mark the
more or less laudablc ambition of any
numerous or influential sections Of his
constituency, 1t may perhaps be not
unfriendly to warn the gentlemen who
may be tempted to resort to this species
of pious fraud that there are portents
OF evil as wei, as prospects OF good in
such measures.
In the first place, ones colleagues
are not slow to detect the object OF
these measures. and the detection is
sure to shake their confidence in the
sincerity OF the persons who propose
them. Nothing initiates against the
influence OF any member of legisla-
corning tina. members sincerity. II

measures will. In the long run, impair

that his reference was to women OF a

men for money for certain reasons. 1t
was Of these women that he said that
