MIR. BAHARD AND THE NORTHERN
VOTERS.

From tho Charleston 49, c. News, June II.
In the striking utterances of the Times
there is no want of appreciation Of Mr.. Bay
ards exalted character and incontestable
ability. But Mr.. Bayard, it is commended,
was not in active sympathy with the North.
ern cause at the beginning of the war and
during the war. 1t eau be established that
he was a loyal man and gave no aid or COM
fort to the South; but he did not draw sword
for the North and he was not supposed to
be fully in accord with the Government in
the extreme measures which were resorted
to in prosecuting the mighty contest This
is the Northern view; and the Northern
view Of Mr.. Bayard's conduct, not the
Southern view, will control the voting in
the Northern States in November. South
erners should be able to appreciate the feel
ingS of those who were on the other side.
Would Il Southerner who kept out of the
Confederate Army, and was conspicuous for
his criticism Of the Government and for his
denunciation of the CONSUMPTION law, the i'm
pressment law, and other war measures of
doubtful constitutionality, be likely to poll the
full democratic vote in any Southern State?
We say that he could not, and such can
didate would not he sure of corporal's
guard of good old rebels" if he were the
candidate Of a political party which South
erners, as II rule, had dis!iked and striven
to defeat. We must try 10 put ourselves in
the place Of the Northern voter. A disin-
cInatiou to vote for Mr.. Bayard would be
no more an evidence Of sectional ill., feeling
than Southerner's unwillngness to vote
for a SUutherner who was not with the
South, in heart, soul, and body, during the
war, would be an indication Of lurking dis
loyalty to the Union as it is. There may
he ways of meeting the objections to Mr..
Baynrd which do not occur to US. There is
no question of his personal worth, his ex-
perience, his sincerity is reformer. But
Gov. Cleveland, we think, is Mr.. Bayard's |
equal in every respect, and his candidacy
cannot possibly obscure the great issue of |
honesty and reform against impurty and !
political iobbery. Link with the name of
the Reform Governor the name of the |
Reform Speaker, and the democratic ticket |
will he irresistible. Cleveland and Carlisle |
cannot be defeated at the polls, or counted
out by fraud If elected, they will take

ADUELI IN CHURcH.-A desperate shoot.
ing ARRAY between two members broke up
the services at the Baptist Church of settle
mcnt six miles from Little Rock, Ark, Sun
day last. Two youngmen, named Lem Dis
howan and Peter Lewis, attended church
with the avowed purpose of taking home the
minister's young daughter, and when Lewis
moved from his own to the minister's family
pew while the sermon was in progress, Dis
howan drew his revolver and opened fire
upon him. Lewis returned the fire, and the
congregation made rapid exit by way of doors
and windows. Neither was hurt, and both
being disarmed, they agreed to 60 into the
woods and fight it out with fists. Before
they started the girl who was the cause oftbe
fight desired to speak privately with Lewis
for moment, which was granted. While
the congregation were awaiting the results
of the fist-fght pistol shot was heard from
the direction of the scene of conflict. The
congregation hurried to the spot and found
Dshowan lying on the ground dying from
shot through the lungs. He said that he
was getting the better Of Lewis, when the
latter drew Derringer quickly from his
boot leg and shot him. The girl had placed
the weapon there during her brief confer
ence with Lewis just before the fight.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

There is still good deal of talk about an
extra session of the General Assembly, and
if later on it appears that the electoral vote
of Virginia is likely to be seriously brought
in question there can be little doubt that
two-thirds of the members will sign the
needed demand upon the Governor. But
there is great and growing disposition to
question the wisdom which selected the
Sd day of September as the day for the
meeting. BY the time the two houses pass
their bills Of various sorts over the Cover
uors vetoes, and the same have been passed
upon-as they will surely have to be-by
the Supreme Court, the campaign will be
very far advanced, and the danger Of its
being paralyzed by an adverse decision will
be considerable.
As soon as our nominations are made at
Chicago there will be a more determined
move about this extra session. Then our
people will have to decide one way or an
other They will have to determine
whether it is better to risk our electoral
vote in its present form and our election
with existing machinery or to have an extra
session-tbe last to he, of course, attended
by sone expense.
1t would seem that ifan extra session is to
be had the best judgment would suggest
day not later than August 1st Ifthe men,
bers come here in "the dog days" they Will
not stay unnecessarily long. They will put
through their work with reasonable speed
but it is to be hoped not with that Of last
winter. They will be flooded with import
ant bills" of all kinds, Of course, but the
temperature will only be favorable to real
measures ofpublic interest.
A canvass of the members has been made
and it is believed that two-thirds can be
gotten if a day can be agreed upon and the
urgency shown. There are good many
who do not want to sign, but who will defer
to the general Judgment Richmond Dis
patch otto day.
There would seem to be an absolute ne.
cessity for an extra session, that the vote of
Virginia in the electoral college may not be
questioned by the INSCRIPTIONS party now
in power, if that vote elects the democratic
nominee. The call signed by the members
of the General Assembly present at the
State convention has been circulated as
speedily as possible, but while signed by all
to whom presented, it has yet been signed
by only forty members of the House. This
is said upon the authority of the Speaker of
the House of Delegates, who has the call in
charge. A new plan must be devised to
call, and the State committee
must take charge of the matter. They will
do so in few days.

GENERAL MAHoNE's home organ says, in
effect, there will be civil war in case of the
election of democratic President, as the
North will not submit to the rule of Pres

that be so, the General should be looking

he is abhorred by the reputable white peo-

President next November, and that, too,
by the vote of the solid South. It's pretty

THE U. S. Senate yesterday and the day
before was the scene of ridiculous but dis
graceful quarrel between two of its men,
bers, in which one accused the other of for
gerry, and was in turn accused Of crimes
hardly less venal. The climax was reach
ed when one charged his opponent with
cowardice, and was publicly Informed by the
other that he would give him any satisfac-
ton he might desire. Now Mr. Brown is
an old man and deacon in the church,
and though he called, and doubtless believes,
Mr.. Ingalls, a coward, he would never
really think of challenging him to fight
duel; and Mr.. Ingalls, who possibly fears
death no more than other men, though talk
ing so glibly of giving satisfaction, knows
that his own State, section and party
would not sanction his acceptance of a
challenge, and that he would no more fight
duel than he would again resort to such
open bribery as that by which he first OBJ.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS TO-DAY.

After the reading of the journal which
contained an allusion to the Fitz John por-
ter bill. the chair stated that no further &C
ton on that bill was necessary than to have
the action of the House announced to the
Senate. Quite debate followed as 10
whether or not under the bill Gen. Porter
could receive back pay, some Senators
thinking he could and others taking oppo-
site views.
A further conference was ordered on the
postoflce appropriation bill.
Mr.. Miller, of Pennsylvania, offered as a
question of privilege, resolution declaring
James r. Chalmers entitled to the seat from
the second district of Mississippi. MIR.
Thompson, of Kentucky, raised the question
Of consideration and the House refused TO
consider it now-yeas IS, nays 1913.
The Ohio contested election case OF Camp
bell and Morey being then called up, the
question of consideration was raised by Mr.
Thompson, of Kentucky, aud the House
also refused to consider 1t.
The House then proceeded to the conslde-
ration of the Pacific Railroad bill, known as
the Thurman amendment bill.
