;eron's Message ParaIyzes tho Bourbon
Press.
Special Leiter.
RICHMOND, Dec. 0.-There was nothing for
the legislature OF Virginia to do to-day and
yesterday but to carry out the caucus orders
of Tuesday night, and to put in tho offices Of
the house and senate the bourbon nominees.
This they did, and to-day the house adjourned
over to Monday next.
In the senate Nowberry, of Bland, pre-.
sontod his sole-loathor resolution asking Gon.
Malone to resign, which will have as little
effect on Gen. Malone and his friends as
Newberry's influence over had on the coun-
try he lives in, which Is nothing.
Gov Cameron's message is an excellent
state paper. Tho bourbon press of the state
can say nothing against It.. That the position
OF tho bourbon party as to what they will
be obliged to do has been shown thom by the
governor is a fact which pnralyaos tho bour-
bon press, tho leaders, and tho clacquers Of the
so.called democracy They have fought four
years for power under several aliases, daring
not to declare their purposes with respect to
any question Of interest to the people. Now
they have the power and its responsibilities
cannot be avoided longer.
Abuse of mon and measures which kept
them out Of Office and benefited the state
must now cease, as they have the Offices. Tho
necessity of legislation to carry out the policy
of roadjustmont, which they claimed at
Lynchburg to accept as the will of the people,
will so divide them that they can do nothing,
and no one can doubt tho results of future
elections in tho state as between bourbonism
and liberalism.
The liberals in the general assembly declare
an unalterable purpose to stand firmly to
every measure advocated by Gov. Cameron,
and the policy of liberality in state affairs.
Tho purposes of tho bourbons are kept
secret. Until the few offices to be given out
are disposed of there will be little done OK
ccpt tho introduction of q spiteful resolution
now and then rejecting on the readuster
party, which, although they claim IL is dead,
will stand as an avengor of social and politi-
cal wrongs, which are absolutely essential to
the existence of bourbonism as long as there
10 freedom of opinion in Virginia.
The question of suits against tho city of
Danville by the next of friends Of the mon
murdered in the Danville troubles has been
mentioned, and 1t is probably in this way
only that tho truth of the affair can be gotten
at satisfactorily.

PARIS, Dec. 6.--Ordcrs have been issued for
the arrest of the persons who signed the an
archist placnrds, which were posted in the
disordcrly parts of the city yesterday, mott.
flying the workingmen to meet in front of the
bourse on Friday. Seven of the sgners have
already been arrested.
Admiral Peyron, minister of marine has
received telegram from Admiral Courbet,
commanding the French forces in Tonquin,
dated Hanoi, Nov, "a, stating that the at.
tack on Sontay has not begun, and that he is
still preparing his force for the campaign.
La LiJerto (newspaper) says that England
is taking energetic steps to bring about
treaty between Franco and China. 1t adds
that it has authorized information which
leads to the belief that peaceful negotiations
have made great progress during the last few
days. 1t is probable, La LiJorto states, that
the event which the government expects rs
likely to exercise great influence upon the
impending debts in the chamber of deputies
is not so much feat of arms in Tonquin as
China's adhesion to the basis Of q treaty
which has been suggested by England.
The Telegrdphe says the Marquis Tseng, the
Chinese ambassador, sent note yesterday to
Prime Minister Ferry asking suspension of
fighting in Tonquin in order to avoid conflict
which might compromise the pending nego'
tiations between France and China.

Furious Attack Upon the President in n
Mormon NeWspaper.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, Dec. 6.-The
Ne,cs, tho Mormon organ, says in leading
article: "Tho Presidents message will be
hailed by the hireling clergy with pleasure,
and will receive an amount Of popular sup
port. 1t is not shown in what way tho de-
struction of our local government would
affect the question of polygamy. The plural
marriages Of the Mormons are not recognized
by the territorial laws and could not be dis
solved by commissions, by edicts, by armies or
other earthly power. They ore ecclesiastical,
perpetual, and eternal. Until the Mormons
become rccreant to their faith with high
Heaven these unions will be recognized by
the Almighty Being who established them
for the benefit of His people and the fullness
of His glory. The Presidents remarks on
Utah polygamy will not add force to his mes
sage nor credit to his craftsmanship. They
are q sop to bigots and breath to the flame Of
popular passion. 1t is doubtful if it will
have practical bearing on congress. 1t will
certainly create no commotion among the
God fearing people Of Utah."
The same journal throws a sop to the dem.
ocrats, and hopes they will defeat the meas
ure in the house.

ROME, Dec. 6-Signor Nicotera formerly
minister of the interior, to-day accostod
signor Lovito, secretary OF the ministry of
the interior in tho lobby Of tho chamber and
grossly insulted him. declaring he would like
TO spit in his face. Several deputies inter-
subsequently, sent challenge TO Signor
Nicotera to fight duel. The latter accepted
tho challenge, and appointed his seconds
The trouble arose from the fact that u certain
native OF Calabria, who had written pamph-
let insulting Signor Nicotera, obtained cm-
ployment under the government, Sgnor
pecially because it has hitherto been regarded
as probable that he would again become min
ister of tho interior.
