We dare say that no one ever
sawsuch s ridiculous spectacle
of legislation as was exhibited in
the Legislature Friday on the bill
in reference to Magistrates. The
bill provided for increasing the
number in eacr township by ap
pointing six additional ones and
not to furnish them any laws by
which they might be able tu know
how to decide cases. Those who
voted for the bill actually got up
immediately and said havnTt we
played the fool? And everybody
said yes. They reconsidered the
bill, reduced the number to three
and gave them books.

Sthe past few days has shown
this They helped the Democrats
kill the bill to change the charter
of the city of Raleigh which
would have turned the Capitol
over to the control of the negroes.
They also voted some amend-
ments to the County Government
bill which makes it less objection
able than it was in its original
shape. Itis said that they will
also demand. some amendment of
the election law. They should
look well to this.
The Republi-
cans want this bilf passed so
that they can control the election
in this State. The bill as it is
will give them this power and it
behooves! any man who loves
North Carolina to do what he
can to save the States from the
clutches of a party that has been
_ tried and always found wanting.

_ John Hatton Stabs a Man. -
Newrort News, Va., March 3."
M. J. Eastman, a prominent . con-
tractor of this city, was seriously
stabbed here to-day ina difficulty
with John A. Hatton. The affair
occurred on Twenty-seyenth
street, opposite Hotel Ivy, and
was the result of a quarrel that
arose between the two men over
a baby carriage belonging to Hat-
tcn, which was kept in the: hall-
way of EastmanTs house and ob-
structed the passage. Eastman
told his agent to request Hatton
to vacate, as the other occupants
of his building complained very
much of the obstruction. Hatton
came into the real estate agent's
office while Eastman was there.
and renewed the quarrel, saying
that he would skip him alive if
he touched his carriage again.
Eastman inyited him out, and
Hatton followed him, going to a
butcher-shop near by and bor-
rowing a knife, Hatton returned
to the stieet, calling Eastman a
Yaukee" ", and began to slash
him with the knife. Before. the
two meu could be separated Hat-
ton had stabbed his victim ten
times, three on the head and face,
two on the left shoulder, and five
in the left side. Hatton imme-
diately gave himself up, and is
now in jail, having been sent on
to the grand jury this evening at
the preliminary examination.
The physicians that attended the
wounded man stete that he will
likely pull through all right, al-
thougi: one of the cuts in the left
side may prove fatal. Hatton is
