A Great Premium List.

The New York Weekly Express, es-
tablished in 1885, is not only one Of the
Oldest and Cheapest but Best Of the New
York Weekly Family NEWSPAPERS. 1t is
now making great and successful effort
to reach larger and more general cir
culation than any weekly Newspaper in
the United States, aud to this end is Of
fering an attractive list of substantial and
valuable premiums to single and club
subscribers. The long established rep.
utation and responsibility of the Pub
fishers who not only publish the Week
~ Express, but the New York Daily
Evening Express is a sufficient guaran-
tee Of the character of the premiums of
fsred and the good faith that viii GOV

ny other attractions of The Weekly Ex-
press it publishes regularly, by autlori-

For SUrcyor
JAMES j.. BRAWNER.
FROM WASHINGTON.

The Senate convened in extra session
on Monday last, i'll pursuance of the
proclamation Of the President, aud was
by unanimous consent called to order by
Senator HARRIS of Top"~r-ee- MI Pen
.llc,on offered resolution that Senator
Bayard be elected President pro tenn,
which motion was antagonizcd by the
Republicans, who moved that the new
Senators from New York and Rhode Is
land be first sworn in, when together
with the vote Of Judge Davis and Sen
ator Mahonc the Republicans would
have a majority Of one, and be able to
elect the President. As the law is
clear that on the meeting Of the Senate
it must first organize and then the oath
Zoe administered to the new member by
the President, the Democrats would not
consent aud quite an acrimonious de
bate sprung up, wherein rhc foolish pre-
tensions of the Republican party were
thoroughly exposed; after which Mr.
Bayard was elected. The Republicans
have done themselves no credit by this
unsocmbly wrangle in the face of plain
law, and it is not promising for the era
of good feeling about which we have
read so much. Should an accident hep
pen to the President o>-.s one knows
that in the hands Of Senator }ayard the
country would be governed by "A patriot
and statesman, and not partisan On
Tuesday the new Senators were sworn
in and the President notified Of the or

cannot give the particulars of the means
by which he made his escape. 1t is
known however that with some sharp
instrument, he managed to sever the bar
connecting the rods which formed the
doors of his cell How he obtained this
instrument is as yet inexplicable. Every
precaution was taken by Sheriff Wade
for the safe keeping of this well-known
theft and desperate but it seems that all
his care and vigilance was in this IN

pected escape from justice. lie is CON

in excess OF taxes co lected

of the State used therefor S2g3. S47 So
The ar ument of the governor implies that
the State has properly a choice between only
two methods in the future management of its
financial alfGrs. First-A great increase in
its rates Of taxation, in order to provide for
the rapid extinction Of its remaining debt in
this generation. Second Or the payment Of
that debt, AS far MS it can be 50 paid, by the
sale Of the valuable internal improvement
properties which the Stale possesses.
Upon this theory the rate Of State taxation
making every reduction of expenses whether
practicable or not, which he suggests. must
be increased from eighteen and three quarter
cents TO twenty-eight cent on the one hun
drcd dollars.
1t is only needful to say that no material
change in the rate of State taxation is neces-
sirY, and that it would be unwise aud inn
proper TO sell the interest of the State in its
internal Improvements.
The abundance of money in the markets of
the world shows that the time is at hand
when our State ought TO pursue the policy
adopted by the United States and by all gov
ernments in like propitious seasons. Prov-
sion for such action was made BY the act of
1880. chapter 232. Under that act the loan
OF 90, tDU 90, uuc III 1000, Ctu NC tuuucu
at per cent and in fifteen years the saving
in interest alone thus effected would be an
amount greater than one-third of the whole
debt
The reason why the treasury officers
have not invested annually the sum
of SlUO, 900 in the stock or bonds of the State
in augmentation of the sinking fund, under
The provisions o tie act of 1872, chapter ZIG,

bonds or stocks we're at price too high to
permit a proper exercise of the discretion
lodged by the act in the treasury officers. 1t
became, therefore, their duty TO apply the
designated fund rs the same became available
out Of moneys not otherwise appropriated to
tie payment of other existing debts of the
State in the manner and to the extent already
shown.
We will take up the thread of this dis us
sion again whenever il may appear proper TO
to do SO. We think. however, thai enough
has been said to inform you fully as to those
State matters which are within our province,

ronr TouAcco, October llth, |


Mr. EHior:-In giving publication Of the
"Baltimore Suns report OF the proceedings
of the Republican Judiciary Convention ut
Bowie on September 10Th, uItimo. you OF
course had to repeat the errors OF that report
in its account Of what said on that occasion.
A prompt although somewhat scanty correc-
ton appeared in the "Sun' Of October LIST,
and had YOU seen that ! should not now have
trouble you'll shall be brief
Mr. Duke Of Calvert, after arraigning the
Democratic Judiciary Of the 18th Circuit,
claimed that should neuin;,te some ho'.ssf
Democrat Git being conceded there was no Re
publican lawVer in the Circuit eligible for As
soeiate Judge) meaning as every one knew
from the attitude Of The Calvert COUNTY dele
cation, that We should nominate Mr. P.trran.
My~rtlhy TO this was in substance, that |
believed our present Judges were honest men
and that SO far US knew all the Democratic
asprantS for the judgeshirs were honest men,
but that | did not think our Convention
should pass upon the merits or honesty of
those gentlemen; that so far as the Republic
can Convention was concerned the aspirantS
from Charles and Prince George were as hon
est as those from Calvert and rice rtrsd; that
the Democratic Convention having filcd at
ter two efforts TO nominate, il was not for as
20 take up their fights and antagonize all the
Democratic candidates but one. also SAID
that of the Democratic lawyers in this circuit
who wished 10 he Associate Judges there was
hardly one who had not made overturoS for
the Republican endorsement or nomination,
aud that believed not one OF those Who had
50 made oyertures would not accept a aomlna-
fioaS, no: 'Ihe conditions ns am reported
10 have said; for, in my opinion, it it be
thought necessary to impose condition upon
a candidate for a judgeship, are acknowledge
ment is thereby made that he is not worthy OF
the position A Judges oath of office is
enough for me.
But without all this, am sure not one of
