NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 7.-Startling develop

covered gross irregularities in their Issuance

them liable for nearly 100000 The law
prescrIbes that a person having money due him
from the State shall obtain from tho Controller q
PAYABLE war ant on the Treasurer for the amount
The Treasurer then files the warrant as a voucher,
and issues a check which must DO countersigned by
tho Controller. These irregular checks were
given By Polk, as Treasurer, payable TO
NJ r. Polk without formality of countcrsignature
of the Controller or the issuance of payable war

there will DO endless litigation over this matter
as the banks will fight the state to the bitter end

More Work.

Whatever may have heen the purpose
of the conference of Democratic sena-
tors the other evening in Harrisburg, it
has borne speedy fruit in the adoption of
Senator CoXe's resolution for working
sessions of the Legislature every day.
sition was adopted in the Senate against
the vigorous kicks of Cooper and his as
sOciate Stalwarts and by the aid Of
some of the independents. Yesterday
to hold daily sessions after this week
on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thurs
days, from 10 a. In. to p. m. On MOn-
days the sessions are to be from 80 D.
m. to 10 p. m., and on Fridays and Sat
urdays from 9 O'Clock u. m. until Il
o'clock noon. After February 10 after
noon sessions are to be held on Tuesdays
and Wednesdays from to o'clock p m d.
This is an excellent move. II doubt. s
the present working hours OF the House,
and it is gratifying to see that the Dem.
ocratS in both Houses are to be credited
with its adoption. 1t will satisfy their
constituents and do their party great
service by going to show that its re-
form pretensons have not been mere
pretensions.
Further proof of good understanding
between the Democrats of the two houses
at Harrisburg, and between the legis-
lative and executive departments is fur
nished by the appointment Of committees
on behalf of the Democracy of either
branch to confer with each other, to
consult with the governor concerning
important legislation and to direct the
interests of the party in their respective
branches. These committees consist of
Senator Wallace, Wolverton, Hall, Coke
and Gordon, and Representatives Zeig-
Ter, Faunce, Walker, MacReynolds, Ellis
worth, Crawford, Hasson, Mcnamara,
Sharpe and Merry.
All in all, Democratic affairs have not
been in their present bright condition
since the opening of the session at .Har-
risburg.
