WHAT AUS DISTRICT NO. 77t?
stranger happening into Representa-.
tive Hall at p. m. would have thought
that the Laurel schools fight was on
again, hammer and tongs. II was, how.
ever, inhabitants o. districts in and near
to Ellendals who were making all the
noise. There wero dozens Of thelu,
divided into warning camps, whose
spokssmen were Messrs. White aud Boyce
OF the Georgetown bar. The trouble be.
gan with giving the Fllendals district
slice of district No. 70. Then district
No. rs was oonsoled for the mutils;ion
by slice OF district No. tn. Untor-
tunately for the latter, IL cannot pass the
cut on. There is no district from which
No. 773 can recoup by corresponding
slice. Consequently ths Inhabitants
thereof wish to recover their lost terri
tory, of whioh they gllege they we're de-
spoiled without due warrant in law.
ANOTHER CONVENTION CAUCUS.
The Republican members held another
caucus Oh constitutional convention to.
night al the head quarters OF thu napitol
Republican Club. They remainsd clos
eted for nearly two hours-a phenome-
naiiy short time for Republican caucus
but the consultation developed such
veriNn'e Of opinion that the caucus rose
withou, having been able to 30 modify
the Bradford bill as to make Unacceptable
TO their whole number. The caucus was
addressed by Aessrs. Massey, Bradford
and Benish Watson. Like prior consul
tht,nns this ono showed that the
Republican side is lacking in leader
ship. No one member has yst
gone to the front and there is
no present Indication Of any one doing
~; it is ton graa. extont every man for
himqalt; and it is seldom that an opinion
is bfOached upon an important subject
without eliciting an objection from some
ore within their own ranks As this
CAUCUS could not agree upon anything to
suit the members unitedly, and saw no
