A DISAGREEMENT.

|
Senate In respect TO the holding OF corpo-
ration courts when the judge thereof Is not
able to hold them. The bill allowed the
day and mileage for presiding in any cor
poration court other than his own. II
was amended in the House by substituting
S5 for 80. The Senate refusing TO agree
to the action OF the House, the Committee
for Courts OF Justice recommended that
the House recede from its amendment.
This the House yesterday refused 10 do.
The bill will be sent back TO the Senate,
and IL that body adheres 10 its determine
tion to disagree 10 the House amendment,
a committee OF conference will probably be
asked for.
The Readjuster caucus adjourned TO
meet tonight. The Democratic (Senate)
caucus met last night.
The great object Of the Readjustcrs OF
the Brown-Allen wing OF the party Is to
get one man TO come over TO them. Then
the vote would stand in the Senate 20 to 90.
Lieutenant-Governor Lewis Il here to give
the casting vote In favor OF Mr.. Bailcy's
resolution appointing joint order for the
election OF Auditor, &C., on Monday, Goth.
IL they can pass il in the Senate there will
be no difficulty in the House. There the
Brown-Allen people have working ma
iority.
The Readjusters were bOasting ycster-
day that they would pass the resolution OF
Mr.. Bailey to-day. II is not easy TO see
how they will do il. Mr.. Hale was re-
ported TO have written a note to Attorney
General Blair that in disgust at Mr.. New
berry's resolution he would vote for the
new joint order. The truth il that Mr..
Blair wrote Mr.. Hale q note asking him to
call TO see him (Mr. Blair) al his Office on q
matter Of business. Mr.. Hale did call.
Mr.. Blair was not in; Mr.. Hale left his card.
That is all. Yesterday evening Mr.. Hale
said he was unchanged in opinion.
Mr.. Wingfield, Of Hanover" the lone
star the only straightout Republican in
the Legisaturc-was asked yesterday when
the deadlock would end; would il be soon!
He replied, "NO, not that | know Of"
As for the Democrats, they enjoy these
sprightly debates in the Senate too much
to wish them suddenly ended.
The RCadiusters OF the BTown-Allen
wing declare that unless they can elect Ag-
ditor they will propose that the Legislature
adjourn sine die. Ii il given ont that Nlr.
Massey would like that trst-rate. In such
event he and Mr.. Riddleborger might di-
vide time and stump the Stale and find out
what the people think OF all this matter.
Ii was generally believed at the hotels
last night that this viii be day OF develop
ments in the Senate. The Readjusters
have all along been under the impression
that all they had to do was 10 get one man
from the opposite side. That would make
the vote, supposing all the seators present,
30 to %. Now ii occurs 10 them that when
they get 20. if the other 20 refuse to
vote. there will be no quorum. II takes
II to make quorum. The Lieutenant
Governor cannot heip his friends out in
an extremity OF that sort. All they can do
is to resort TO the tedious process OF having
4 call OF the house.
The Massey men were A. confident rs
usual last night.
They are aware OF tile desperate attempts
the Others are making 10 put down "old
man Massey" hut they expect TO be able
to thwart them, and are Wiling to accept
Mr. Riddleberger's challenge and 90 back
to the people on the issue.
