The bill passed by the houso,provi ding for a vote of the people in cer tsin eounties on the subject of the fenc' law has boon before tho senate, and was returned to the house with sundryamendments which, it is said, are so imiizerotta as to have the 6ffoct of inaking the amended bill an entiy(ly difroront one from thM adopted by the house. The speaker returned -it to the sonate with the suggestion that it was too rntchi changed for the honso io pass upon it, Oxcept as t new measure fromt the sonato. This may work a delay in its passage, and.porhaps postpono it till the noct session of the tegisla turo. In this connection, wo should be glad to soo the .provisions of tihe Huln u.4andod toh '.niLa 1.nol county. Whato'or may be the wishes of thu peoplo upon this voxed qnstioln,they can be easily and linally aitalined by the method suggested--a popular vote. The Text--Dook Scanidal. The report of the house oom mnittoeo on priviloges and oluetions. on tihe charges made against J. D. Rlobertson, a rep~resentativo from Bleaufort county, shows that indi - vidual utp in a most disagrooamble light. Being a moember of the stati, commrission 0on textrbooks in the p)ubli schools, his keen eye for business soon saw a good charoe to turn his position to advantige. B~y authority of tihe 00omm11ission lhe placed himusolf in commnunicationi wtlh several leading publishing houses ant the North, with a view to obtain from thoem proposals for furnislaing the public schools of tihe state with books, charts etc. Robertson won t about the task with tihe manner of a man that knows a goodl thing when he sees it, and. one deternined to receive bountfiul pay for sor* vices to the stato ostensibly gratuitous. The gist of his pro posals to the several p~arties wijth whom he corresponded is embodied in the following extract from the' committee's report to tihe hous118 "rho gravity of Mr. Rtobertsons bffonco lies ithfac o f his havijgg offered .to several publiehors his official intience to segura the adoptit of theft booka iscn Ridleratioun of their Mepanoo Nien oi kin man ~ r Ja ipb cdrorard,' solp agent I'i the iiirt. etuction of their books into tho free schools of the State, with the 1igual r'eduction allowed to booksellers of bry, orcent. from retail prices adadsounmt of tent por cent, ad ditional, tium securing to Mr, Rlobortson or the agernt whom lie lnanied the handsome porcenitago of forty-six per cent." The; evidene adlduced in the matter goes to show that Robertson expooted to realfze a hanrdsomie' in coomo from hfs~ project, and halid aspirafdons to the position of state superintendent, of olhciation. If ho could have reached' thait- point, his plauds to rob the state for his onu bonentt 'would no donbt rEnve boon much better matured, and lie inafght have extended his operations; Blut his schemes have been ef~etually nipped in the bud by the action, of tile eomnmittoo.
