Raleigh, N. Oj February 25th. The sensation of the legislative ses sion occurred today, when Senator John Graham, a son of ex Governor and ex-Secretary of the Navy, William A. Graham, rising to a question of the highest privilege, denounced President Frances D. Winston, the presiding officer of the Senate, for having on Saturday appointed three Senators to the committee of conference on the railway bill (Mr.

Graham's bill) which had' passed the Senate, all three outspoken opponents to the measure. Mr. Graham said an insult had been offered him and the Senate and the rights of the Senate disregarded. The men on the committee were his friends, but if he were any one of them with his sense of honor; he would not have accepted. He said he had served in the Senate many times and had voted to remove a governor, but Winston bad tried and executed himself, had not properly discharged the duties of his office; his action did not rise to the respectability of peanut politics and was contemptible.

Graham concluded by suggesting the following resolution: "Resolved, That the committee on conference, appointed by the presiding officer of the Senate Saturday be dis charged." Upon the ending of the session of the Senate it was announced that the Dem ocratic Senators would caucus tonight. It was found this would be on the rat bill, on President Winston's action con cerning and on Graham's attack. Fth quality butter and lard at Oaks Market.
