The undersigned members Of your COM

1903, entitled "An act TO repeal act No. as Of
the Legislature OF 1868" etc, beg leave to re-
port that they are OF opinion the Senate
should not concur In the action OF the House
on said bill, because the enactment thereof, as
law, would be violative OF the constitution OF
the United States and OF the State, would be
against the welfare OF the most cherished in
stitution Of the State, and against general
public policy.

Gen. HerrOn's COncurrinS Report.
The question presented, as to whether the
repeal Of the laws under which the Lottery
Company is worked would impair the obliga-
tions Of contract or divest vested rights, Is
one not entirely free from doubt Gentlemen
Of eminent legal ability contend that no con-
stitutional barrier can be interposed to pre-
vent the repeal; and others, of equal ability,
urge, with much earnestness, that the Lot
terry Company cannot be interfered with with
out violation Of the constitution. This ques-
ton can only be fully and finally put to rest
by judicial decision. As long as it remains
undecided, this matter will be disturbing
element in the affairs OF the State, making it
the interest OF q rich and powerful company
to interfere In the elections, with view to It's
own protection.

SENATOR BAYARD.

This gentleman has just returned
from Europe to find himself riding
a popular tidal wave in his party in
the direction Of a Presidential nom
nation. Since returning, the Sen
ator has made a speech and had an
interview with a newspaper man, in
both of which he manifests a very
wooing sort of a disposition-that
is, he is willing to be wooed. lie
has spread his sails to catch the
wind, and knowing that his strength
as a Democratic candidate lies prin-
cipally in the South, his remarks
are devoted largely to a Cancellation
of that section, so recently alienated
from him on account ofhis financial
views. He says what the South
needs is, not "Legislation," but
sympathy and respect" But We
were told by nine ont Of every ten
Democratic stump-speakers a year
ago, hat what the South needed
was a repeal of the Resumption
act, and all acts looking to a re-
sumption of specie payments. Our
friends of the Knoxville Tribune,
who are SC ~favorably impressed
with Mr.. Bayard, at this particular
tine, point with apparent conf>
dence to his Washington speech,
and exultingly claim there is states
manship, no buncombe there, Or
words to that effect.
We admit that the first part of
the speech was respectable, but
when the Senator talked about the
South, under the treatment received
by the Federal Government, would
"become a second Ireland" we in
sist that for the worst sort of "bun<
eombe" his speech would compare

SENATOR CHANDELIERS Sue
CESSOR.

The telegraph yesterday morning
announced that Governor Croswell,
of Michigan, has appointed Hon.
Fernando G. Beaman as Senator
Chandeliers successor. The appoint
ment is a particularly good one.
From 1861 to 1871 Mr.. Beaman
was a Representative in Congress
from Michigan, and served three or
four Congressional terms on the
Committe of Ways and Means, and
the last term on the Reconstruction
Committee, also. He was conceded
to be the ablest man in the Mich~
gan delegation in the House, having
great experience, and being an in
d~ustrious, clear~headed man. He
was a /" stalwart of the most pro-
nounced type-as much so as
Chandler himself, but his work
was done mainly in committees, and
by thoroughly understanding the
business of the Ways and Means
Committee, and other important
committees of Congress. lie rarely
made speeches, but when he did
always commanded the respect and
attention of the House. No better
man could have been found to suc~
ceed Michigan's great Senator.

Mr.. BAYARD says the South
needs sympathy and respect" The
Nashville American puts it in a
much more manly way in a recent
editorial (Nov. 9th when it says:
at is time now for the people of the
States in the Southern part Of this
country to turn their attention within,
abandoning the policy of posing be-
fore the rest of the world with boasts
of peculiar virtue and of appealing to
the rest Of the world for help or sym
pathy, and to demand the respect of
mankind for a manly and earnest p0le
icy of correction of the peculiar evils
which are both Inherent AMI have
been superinduced. 1t matters not
how they came, whether they grew
out Of our own past, or were forced in
some measure upon us, or eXagger-
ated by circumstances, the simple,
practical question is their correction,
and such q course is clearly necessary,
bound TO come soon or late, and it is
entirely consistent with a manly indie
pendence and self~respect."
IF the people of the South will
respect themselves they will com
mand respect. But it will never
GENE through whining or from
threats of q Solid South.
