All the old officers were reelected, on motion Of
Senator Magee, and the Lieutenant governor an
nounced that the old committees would be con-
tinued On Senator Fowler's resolution to adopt
the rules of the regular session, Senator Youche
offered an amendment to return to the original
rule, requiring two-thirds vote to suspend the
regular order of business, and it was adopted, it
being generally agreed that there was no neces-
sity for the majority rule, as all the political
legislation was finished The committee clerks
were all discharged. as the secretary and assist
ant secretary had agreed to detail their assist
ants for such work. 1t was resolved that clerks
be not allowed per diem for days when they were
absent.
Mr.. Youche moved that special committee of
five be appointed to which should be referred

structions to report at an early day. The mo-
ton was adopted, and Senators Youche, Magee,
Sellers, Overstreet and Mccullough were ap-
pointed as the committee.
Mr.. Houston asked and obtained consent to
withdraw bill rs. 347l to designate and provide

Mr. Magee moved that when the Senate ad-
journ it adjourn till Friday at 10 o'clock A. NJ
Mr.. Youche moved to amend by making the

cepted the amendment. The motion as amended
was agreed to.
Mr.. Winter said that a bill had come to the Sen
ate from the House to make an appropriation of
$780, 900 for the benefit of John Martin. He
thought that the bill ought not to be acted upon
without being carefully examined and inquired
into Therefore he offered resolution referring
it to the committee on Judiciary. and giving to
the committee power to send for persons and
papers
Mr.. Winter-The House committee on the
Judiciary investigated the claim and took the
testimony of large number of witnesses, but
before the evidence was written out by the short
hand reporter great part of the testimony was
lost, and therefore it should be taken again.
The resolution was adopted.

lieve the city of Terre Haute from liability to
repair the State Normal School buildings and
grounds, which was read the first time and re-
ferred to the committee on education.

there at 81 yard. They went out OF style, and
guess 30 cents will be good value to put them
at now. There wasn't the run we expected on
those buttons we let you in on at $24 the gross
and fear that offer of 10 cents now would
have to be considered as all they are
really worth. Then we oyerbought on
those goods and these goods were not
up to the mark and so forth and so
on, purrs the benevolent head of the house
Well, the end of the matter is that when the
books are all balanced Snap finds that he has
made about ST. 500 for the year out of an interest
in the house, in lieu of salary instead of S. 600
or so as an ordinary salesman. Well. he's a
member of the firm. 1t won't do 10 let the bust
ness go down, and so we find Snap digging in
and holding his big trade, and if he don't owe
the house $4,000 or $1,000 the first thing he
knows then he is an exception to most junior
partners. When the head of great dry goods
house wants to get an ST, 900 man for one-quarter
OF that sum, my boy. you can make up your
mind that the house will have new junior part
ner before long, and that another good salesman
has got the big head And that's just what's the
matter with poor Jack over there They've COB
bled him, and that's why say I'm sorry for him.
Jack is a-helo! I'm bowed if he hain't called
for another bottlel Let's 60 over and help the
poor lad to get away with it,"

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Indications that the Special Session Will
Continue the Full Forty Days.
The Old Officers Continued, but Several
Changes of Employes-Enactment of
Senator Campbells Election Bill.

The order of business which was pending in
call of counties for the purpose of allowing each
Representative to designate one bill that should
be at once disposed of-was resumed yesterday
morning, after the brief preliminary formalities
attending the opening of the special session
This order of business was entered upon ten
days ago. and at the time of adjournment yes
terday afternoon it was only just half completed,
80 that it is reasonable to presume that it will
not be entirely disposed of within the next ten
days. IL the House adheres to the programme
which was SO stubpornly followed last week, the
appropriation bills and the bill for
the reorganization of the Soldiers Orphans
Home viii not be considered until
after the call is completed. The Senate. after
converting yesterday morning, in compliance
with the proclamation for the special session, ad-
journed until Friday afternoon. 1t is the inten-
ton of the House to adjourn tomorrow evening
until Monday
FOR THE FULL FORTY DAYS
1t is evident that there is no probability that
the special session will end before the expiration
of the constitutional limit of forty days. Some
thing of test was made yesterday morning of
the sentiment in favor of speedily transacting
the necessary business and adjourninG early. A
resolution was introduced by Representative
Townsend limiting the session to fifteen days,
but motion was promptly made by Mr. Kellison
to lay the proposition on the table, which was
adopted by 81 yeas against 81 nays as follows;

THE SCHOOL-HOUSE BURNING.
A Pathetic Narrative by German School
Teacher.
Lincoln ton, Ca. News.

Teacher.
ton, Ca. News.
Last Wednesday week, after a night spent in
sickness, we rose from our ftful slumber and set
out to the little school which we have the pleas
ure to supervise. On the way the cheerful chirp
of the robin, the sprightly antics of the squirrel
the lusty voice of the plowman, the genial raw
of the welcome sun, and the boisterous whoop Of
the sehool-boys had tendency to revive us as
we sped on to fulfill the daily routine of q teach
ers life. But as we neared our destination,
strange. ominous quiet seemed to brood over
the place The merry shout had ceased and
the play ground was deserted. Being somewhat
surprised at this we were somewhat prepared
when little fellow pointed to the smoking heap
of ashes. There smoldering lay the eharred
relics of the old house which the fathers and
grandfathers of the community had attended!
But the worst feature is that it is thought to be
the work Of an incendiary. Our dealings with
most pleasant nature, and we cannot imagine
what we have done to deserve such diabolical
treatment. That it was FIRE fend who did the
act seems clearly established by the
testimony of Messrs. James Goldman,
Nose Jones and q. p. Allen. The wind
was blowing from the northeast and the fire
was burning at the door when discovered, and
all possibility of saving the books of which there
was about forty dollars burnt. Ordinarily, for
all mankind we have nothing but the milk of
human kindness, but for this midnight incarnate
demon we would mix about peck of dynamite
with the milk, make him swallow the mixture,
let us get behind biackgum tree provided with
a pine pole and punch him at long taw until the
dynamite exploded and blows off his diaboical
head. If by any means his smntty remains
should not be blown to atoms, they would be
allowed to bleach, for the buzzards would be
disgraced If found feeding on him.

THE VIRGINIA SITUATION JUST AS 1T
Is.-Mahone-he is the Republican party
of Virginia for.the purpose of this campaign
does not expect to elect John s. Wise to
be Governor; he does not expect to elect a
sufficient number of senators to constitute,
with those holding over, majority of that
body, but he doe>Ihope to choose majority
of the one hundred members of the House
of Delegates.
If he succeed in getting fifty-one seats
filled with his own men, it will be his VIC
tory. Fitz Lee will be Governor, there
will be Democratic Senate to check Ma
honeite legislation, but there will be Ma
honeite majority on joint ballot, Malone
will go to the Senate, and all the officers
who are elected by the Legislature will be
Mahoneites.
Fifty-one members of the House of Del
egates will be enough, as they are clear
majority of two. As the Democrats will
have more than two majority in the Senate
the Mahoneites will turn out enough DEM
ocratic delegates and seat enough Malone
ties to make good working majority on
joint ballot.
This is the scheme which is being worked
in the crossroads and by-ways all over
Virginia. There is only one danger con-
fronting Democrats and that Is over conf
dence. Let Virginia Democrats think of
the Illinois EPISODE. A tied Legislature
was made Republican by two votes by the
death of Democrat and the election of a
Republican to fill the vacancy. The four
counties composing the district were, each
of them, Democratic, the aggregate ma
jorities being over two thousand The Re-
publicans voted and won the district; the
Democratic stayed at home and lost it.
The result was John A. Logan's reelection
to the United States Senate, and his votes
may keep that body Republican after March
41SS7. Let Virginia Democrats take warn
ing Washington Post.

Old and Good Subscribers.

We are aware of the fact that the SPECTATOR
has a list of subscribers that cannot be excelled
by any paper in the State in quality and char
acter. We are almost daily reminded of 1t by
the payment of subscriptions by persons who
have been taking it regularly for thirty, forty,
nifty. and some as long as sixty-odd years, as
was the case few days since when the venera-
BILE Mr.. David Blackwood, of the Greenvile
neighborhood, aged "a years, paid his subscrip-
ton In advance for another year. as he has been
doing for more than si1ty gears. The SPECTATOR
has been regular weekly visitor to most OF
the substantial families in this county for sew
eral generations, and will continue, we hope,
to 60 from sire to son in the future as 1t has in
the past. 1t has been domiciled 80 long in these
hundreds OF families as to be considered as al
most part of the family itsef-so much so
that 1T would not be dispensed with for much
more than Its intrinsic value. With thousands
In this county. it was the first newspaper they
aver read when children. and they continued
to read 1t through the periods of childhood,
youth, manhood. and old age, and thus may 1T
continue 20 be with their "children and grand
children TO the third and fourth generation."-
1t is the character OF the subscribers to the
SPECTATOR as well as their number, that makes
II SO valuable as good advertising medium,
for they are of that substantial class that ad-
vertsers wish to reach.

MT. SoLoN, VA, Oct 9. 1885.
Att O'Clock last night at the town hall.
Messrs. Fultz, skeleton, and Gibbs addressed
the good people in the interest Of the Prohibi-
ton cause, most of them coming in from
curiosity to hear what they had to say.
Capt. Fultz led off with speech delivered in
good style. and good temper, and made favor
able impression. Mr.. Shelton followed In q
short speech.
W. w. Gibbs closed the discussion In quite
spicy and at times eloquent address delivered
in good style. 1 wish to notice one or two
charges made by this speaker. He boldly charg-
ed that the ve1y a0orst element in Staunton was
sent as delegates to the Richmond Democratic
Convention, and then assaulted the County
Convention declaring that the Staunton Ring
met in caucus at tho Va. Hotel, for the purpose
of capturing the county delegates in order to
slaughter Messrs. Patterson, Lyle. and Craw-
ford, which, he said, they had succeeded In do
ing. A delegate in the audience who was in
the Staunton convention called for the proof OF
his charges In reply, he said he had received
his Information from VIM. A. Mann. who was
also delegate. 80 far az the delegation from
Mt. Scion is concerned. the charge is gratuitous
and false. Query. How does 1t happen that
their batteries are aimed at the regular demo-
cratic party while claiming to be Independent

In the last issue of the Highland Record

cause of my matrimonial alliance, 1 came

in my nomination, as number of Demo-
Gratis in Highland would never vote to send
Bondholder to the Legislature my
nomination was not regarded as strong one
even by Democrats, &C.
How drowning men cat ch at straws. Such
statements as these only 60 to show what
fimsy pretexts, and INSCRIPTIONS means are
being used by the Mahoneites in this County,
az their desperation, to carry out their ends.
The statement that my wife or myself are
no,0 or ever acre holders of Va. State Bonds
or Coupons, is absolutely false in every re-
spect. l go further and state that neither
of us ever saw State Bond or Coupon in
our lives. l have since my return from

and all whom have seen say sit IS false"
