THE STATE HOUSE.


mained in session until about four IN the
afternoon, and then took recess until halt
past seven, for the purpose of holding a
night session. After receiving reports OF
committees, the consideration of the
amendments to the election law was re-
sumed, and several sections passed upon.
The extended discussion on the proposed
amendments to this law have rendered
night sessions necessary, and they will
likely be found requisite for the balance of
the term. if members are not more brief
in explaining their views.
Shortly after the House had been called
to order yesterday, Mr.. Faulkner rose to
question of privilege. He said he handed
to the Clerk, on Saturday last, certain
''notice," that had been sent him in the
shape of a threat. He desired to have the
Clerk read it for the information of men,
bers and he would also ask to have it
spread upon the journal of the House.
Mr.. Carr objected to having the disreput-
able missive inserted in the joornal. 1t
was finally agreed, however, that the Clerk
should read the ''notice." The following
is copy of the precious document, minus
the choice embellishments:
To A. W. Faulkner, OF Caldwell parish:
You are hereby notified that if you do not
cease your attempts to have the State House
bill postponed. you will be finished quietly
but surely. Be warned. So help you God.
..7G."
The reading caused a good deal of mer-
riment among members, and the whole
subject was finally laid upon the table.
