most worthy couple took place in Des

each of whom aspired to the honor OF

but, as the wedding was entirely pri-

evening after the wedding the last
named went to call on the lady, whom
he supposed to be still single. There
he found his rival, the groom, with
bis hopnip bride. Laying aside bis

Two Important Propositions

Special to the Courier-Journal.l
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The ques-
ton of changing the time for the
meeting of congress has been a much
discussed one for years past, and in
nearly every congress measures are
presented in this connection. Judge
Lapham, Of New York, considered
one of the ablest constitutional law
yers in congress, has, this session,
offered a joint resolution providing
that hereafter the regular meeting
time for congress shall be on the first
Monday in January, except when
the first day of January shall
fall on Monday, in which case
the time of meeting shall be the
first Tuesday in January. In support
of that proposition, Judge Lapham
urges that congress accomplishes
nothing by meeting in the first part of
December, because OF the holiday
recess which follows SO soon after the
meeting. He says he would be just as
willing that congress should meet in
November, but for the fact that meet
ing in January the danger of long ses-
sions would be cut off by the hot
weather. If congress should meet in
November, he argues, it would remain
in session as late as if it had met in
January, excepting, of course, the
sessions which expire the congress
on the 4th of March. Judge Lapham
has also introduced a joint reso-
luton proposing a change in the
constitution regarding the term OF
office of the President. 1t provides
that hereafter the term of the Presi-
dent shall commence on the first day OF
May, instead of the fourth of March
except when the first day of May shall
fall on a Sunday, in which a the
term shall commence on the first
Tuesday, and the President in Office
when this amendment shall take effecr
shall hold his Office until his successor
shall have been duly elected and quail
fed. 1t is a fact not generally knowr
that the constitution does not provid,
any day for the beginning of the Presi
dents term in office. Judge Laphan
thinks it better, however, that tn,
change should be placed in the con
stitution. 1t is a fact that there il
nothing but an old resolution o
congress fixing the fourth of Marcel
for the Inauguration day. Wher
George Washington was first elected
he was not sworn until the latte
part Of May, because members of con.
gress could not reach the seat of gov.
eminent earlier, owing to the baC
weather and consequent bad roads
Judge Lapham, in his resolution, alsC
seeks to avoid the difficulty that aros,
when Hayes was sworn in. 1t will b.
remembered that the 4th of Marcel
came on Sunday, and Hayeswas quiet
ly and secretly sworn in Sunday noon
in a room at the White House, anC
was publicly installed and sworn the
next day on the capitol steps. TIL,
question arising then was as t
whether Grant held over until his sue.
cessor was qualified.

What STANLEY is Doing.

News has arrived by the last mail

utmost secrecy as to his intended
movements. A rumor is current
among the pOrters that theiB journey
is to commence from the west coast.
If this be the case, Mr.. Stanley must
have introduced a radical change into
