A Complaint.

TO tine Editor OF the Herald:
heard q good, thrifty, old farmer
remark, yesterday, that he had come
from home, about five miles, with four
bales of cotton to sell, he expected to
hurry through and get back home by
noon, but upon arriving at the Com
press he found II almost impossible to
get his cotton weighed, as ,hero was a
perfect rush OF wagons, and each one
had to fle his way in and take his turn,
thereby keeping the farmer over two
hours TO get his certificate. l do not
say that the weigher or any one was to
blame, but this same farmer informed
me that the main cause of the delay
was that some merchant or buyer had
purchased q list Of cotton and had
rushed in and demanded or got his cot.
ton weighed. II seems that there
should be some remedy for this weari-
some delay, as We know 1t must be, TO
q planter who has Travelled miles TO get
his cotton 10 market. Can't II DO Or
ranged in some way 10 give the farmer
chance? X. Y. z.

on the other hand save them from the
suspicion Of so doing.
As to what salary should be attached
to the Office, we will lot advance an
opinion, further than 10 say, that We
think Il ought to be sufficiently remu-
nerative TO command the services Of
experienced lawyers. This Office we
regard aS one Of the mOst.impOrtant In
our State, and TO discharge lts respOn-
sible duties In q meritOrious and be.
coming manner requires industry and
ability Of no mean order. The District
Attorney has the talent and expert
ence Of the entire Bar Of his District TO
combat, and Is called up2n almost
daily to measure swords with the ablest
lawyers In the fields of forensic dis
cussIon, and shrewd aud astute must
he be, not 10 sink under the heavy
blows they are sure to lnAict and he
certain 10 receive. We feel fully per-
suaded that such changes in the existing
laws as wa have herein indicated, would
result bene6cially to The State. The
whole system OF allowing perquisites
to officers in criminal prosecutions, we
believe to be founded in error, to be
false in theory, aud vicious in practice,
and We trust the law.mskiDg power
will take the matter in hand and oblit-
crate the whole fee system by appro'
pirate legislation. Let us pay our Dis
trict Attorneys regular salaries for
their services, and we will find, In the
end, that the State will realize a decided
benefit from the change, not only In q
pecuniary point Of view, but In the
more thorough and complete efficiency
Of her public prosecutors.

New York Graphic

New YORK Graphic
A new and stylish color is toad
green. The Breton costume is now
worn Jnly by young girls.
Some OF the handsomest Imported
dresses are made with tho round
waist, which is worn with belt.
The loug blouse reaching down 10
the knees, with yoke and worn with
belt, j. one Of the repulsive fash
ions.
Unless the coming woman - born
with longer arm than those now in
use, she can't wear any more buttons
on her kid gloves than the present fash
ion permits.
The new material for morning
dresses very much resembles the old
"Dolly Warden" cloth, as 1t is covered
with large designs, such as birds, 1ow-
ers and insects.
Handkerchief can no more be stow
cd away in pockets, but must be car
ried in the hand or attached to the
waist, and therefore none but nice ones
can be used.
The fashionable style OF wearing the
hair is low in the neck. The rows Of
pufFs worn outside the front Of tho bon.
net, and resembling fslse teeth in theiI
slifF regularity, are no longer in
vogue.

My friend suggests to me that It is said

that You might as we'll say that there
was delegation of authority whenever
we send a committee ont to investigate,
or when we made committee on coins

ference committee, or any other agency.
As long as the power to decide in the last
resort is reserved to the two Houses, there
is no delegation of authority. me pro-
visions are only means to acquire inior-
nation to get light to aid the two Houses
ia making the ultimate final decision,
and therefore there is no delegation.

what the country had right to expect
