The FRANKLIN Sun beams forth
again with increased refulgence, hav-

security into which it was cast by the
recent destruction of its printing ma
terial by fire. The plucky young ed

has procured another outfit, and his
paper exhibits improved typograph-

EXTRA SESSION.

Our model General Assembly: hav-
ing frittered away the greater portion
of it's time in proftless discussions,
political filibustering and the consid-
GRAFTON of legion of frivolous bills,
the end of the regular session was
reached with number of necessary
objects of legislation yet in an unfin-
ished state. For this reason GOV.
Nichols found it necessary to issue a
proclamation converting the Assem-
bly in extra session, for period not
to exceed fifteen days. The particu-
lar subjects specified by the Governor
as requiring consideration, and which
win have preference over all other
matters, are revenue, appropriations,
registration and election, levee, peni-
Tertiary, floating debt, city charter
and militia.
The regular session closed Thurs
day at midnight and the special con-
vocation. dates from yesterday. There
seems to be o general disposition
among the members of both Houses
to settle down to hard work and COM
plete the unfinished pablo business
with the greatest possible expedition.
This is the only way in which they
can make even partial amends to the
people for the negligence and delay
which will entail an additional ex-
pense of $50, 600 to $4,000 upon our
already tax-ridden State.

DEATH OF HENRY P. BAYLEY.-We
copy the following melancholy an
nouncement from the New Orleans
Times of Thursday, February %:

Intelligence was received here yesterday
that Henry p. Bayley, a conductor in the
service of the Pullman sleeping car com
pany, died suddenly, yesterday, on board his
car, ut Sweetwater, Tenn, while en- route to
Washington on especial run" The direct
cause of his death is stated to have been a
wound in his left leg, received during the
late war. Dir. Bayley was the son of the
late G. w. r. Bayley, distinguished as a
civil engineer, was well known a few years
age as conductor on the New Orleans and
Mobile railroad, and was heartily esteemed
by large circle of friends.
Deceased, for several years subse-
quent to the war, served as conductor
on the Opelousas and Great Western
railroad, now known as Morgan's
Louisiana and Texas road, and for a
short time held a similar position on
the unfinished New Orleans and Tex
as road extending from New Orleans
to Donaldsonville. A young man of
frank nature and genial disposition,
the Times states truly that he was
+" heartily esteemed by large circle
of friends" We knew him passing
well, and join in the general regret
caused by his early death.

Mr.. EDITOR Dear Strive have argument in
reference to Delaware law. One party contends that
any article belonging to individual which drifts
on the farm or premises of another cannot be taken
off by the former the latter is said to all prop
erty that drifts on his premises He says that there
O farmer in the State of Delaware who had crop of
corn that drifted another mans property and the
corn was refused the original owner Now if that is
the law of your State you will please answer this let
through the columns of your most valuable paper
BY so doing you will much Obge n subscriber
j. S. RICHARDSON, 7th and Oxford st.
In answer to the above, we will say that any prop
ery washed off by flood and storm from the premises
of one party the premises of another that the party
losing the property wherever found is entitled to it.
provided that he prore it to be his property but
if the person whose property it has been driven
and landed has performed any service or incurred
any expense in taking of or saving it which
necessary to be done or incurred he they would be
entitled to payment for such service or expense II
such articles as vessels boats cattle &C. there would
be very little difficulty in the right owner proving hi
right to property carried the premises of another
by the food but in such articles corn, hay lumber
&c. the act of proving might be very difficult thing
and the claim would not be valid without such proof

THE ELECTIONS YEsTERDAY-The news in to-days
papers show that the Republicans have carried Penn
sylvania, electing Hoyt Governor, by about 10000
majority, the entire State ticket and majority of the
legislature.
Massachusetts is carried by the Republicans by
26,OOO plurality and every Congressman except one
The greatest change is perhaps in New York City,
Edward Cooper anti-Tamany and Republican being
elected over Augustus Schell Tamany Democrat by
1900 majority. The Republicans have gained two
members of Congress in the State and large majority
of the Legislature
In Maryland the Democrats lose one Congressman
9th District the State otherwise being largely Demo-
cratic.
In New Jersey Ex-Secretary Robson is elected to
Congress
Among the leading events were the defeat of Gen.
B. F. Butler. the greenback-labor for Governor in
Massachusetts, by Thomas Talbot the candidate of
the republicans, supported by a large mass of the
hard money democrats, and the success Of the anti.
Tammany combination of democrats and republicans
in New York city, headed by Edward Cooper for
mayor. In Massachusetts the republicans gain one
member of Congress, New Hampshire one Connect
| cut one, New York two. In Virginia, among the
! democratic members of Congress elected Gen
Joseph L. Johnston, from Richmond John Goode
| Norfolk, and John T. Harris from the Augusta dis
trct. If W. E. Hinton is elected in the Petersburg
district the Virginia delegation will be solid for the
democracy. There is no election of Governor in Con
neccut and the choice devolves upon the Legislature
which is claimed by the republicans. South Caroline
reelects Wade Hampton Governor. and gives an ell
tire democratic delegation to Congress, democrats
gain of two. Georgia again sends solid democratic
delegation but the indications are that Felton, inde
pendent democrat and present incumbent is defeate
by Lester regular nominee.
The overthrow of Tammany Hall in the New YOr
city election by the choice of Edward Cooper for May
or like Ben Buffers defeat in Massachusetts, is in
sense party triumph and ranks with the latter
subject for general congratulatOn. Mr.. Kelley ha
ruled New York with iron hand and ali the offer
