however populous other towns and coun-
ties IN the State may hereafter become, the
Dortch bill can never apply to them be-
cause the estimate must always be made
with the census OF 1880 as a basis This
section OF the Constitution was again con-
sldered and applied in the case OF Burk-
holtz vs.. the State, 10th Lea, II. In 1885
the Legislature had passed an act max
ing 1t lawful for those owning or keep
ing in good faith a race track or race
course in this State TO bet or wager by
making pools, ETC., the last section of
which reads as follows. This act shall
not apply TO counties having population
OF not less than $4,000 inhabitants by the
United States census last taken, Just pre-
ceding the date OF the oflense charged, pro-
hibited by this act The Supreme Court
says: Taking the meaning Of said act ac-
cording to its literal terms, it is Insisted
that said second section is what is termed
partial or class legislation, and is in viola
ton OF article IX., section 8, OF the Consti-
tuition OF Tennessee, and is, therefore,
void. This is conceded by the Attorney
General, and is too clear for argument
In this case il was also decided that this
section OF the act, being contrary TO the
Constitution, rendered the whole act I'M
constitutional"
IL will thus DO seen that the opinion
above quoted is based upon the uncon-
stitutionality OF the Dortch bill, because
1t is manifestly piece of class legislation
and is not and cannot become general in
its character. The opinion seems sound.
The parallelism between the wording OF
the applicability OF the Dortch bill and
that passed upon and declared unconsti-
tutional by the Supreme Court is exact
From all appearances there is a heap Of
trouble ahead in Tennessee over this bill.
Should there be an election held under it,
and it atterward DO declared unconstitu-
tional, the election would be null and
void. Until the question is passed upon
the election machinery OF the counties
and cities affected by this bill will be in a
state OF great uncertainty, gravitating as
it were, between the devil and the deep,
| blue sea.

GARDEN OF EDEN" TEST.
There are certain final rites celebrated
which are Called "The Garden OF Eden"
test. This is known TO be fact, though
it is one OF the few things that no one
seemed ready TO explain. 1t is under
stood, however, that II is modelled quite
closely after--the Mormon endowment
house, and it is rumored that the women
who pass through the ordeal do 80 in an
absolute state OF nakedness, in the pres
ence OF the Christ, also nude. But II is
alleged that the participants are 80 free
from all sin that even thus unattired they
are purity itself.
There is one thing that is remarked
upon by all who study Schweinfurth. He
certainly bears the closest resemblance to
the popular pictures OF the Savior. So
near is the likeness that strangers, in total
ignorance Of his identity, have been heard
TO comment on it. His eyes, beard and
hair are OF the same color. The contour
OF his face follows the lines OF the paint
ings of the real Christ with great accu-
racy. / have certainly never seen any
person who could begin to approach this
striking resemblance. II is very likely
that Schweiniurth depends upon this ST.
miliarity for some OF his most powerful
arguments in making disciples.
In dozens OF places are springing up
church trials OF persons who have en-
| braced the faith. In a Kansas City Pres
byterian church trial is now pending OF
a woman who has become convert, and
dispositions are to be taken here TO prove
that Schweiniurth cannot perform mira
cles, as is alleged.
A number OF women have recently left
a Presbyterian church in Richmond, KY,
and are among the number at the COM
munty here.
Such is the story OF the Beekmanites
Fagmentary and imperfect sketches oil

late in many papers, but this Is the first

given TO the public in any paper East o
west. The revelations are almost incredi
ible, yet Us given here they are absolutel,
true, and all important statements herein
made can be fully substantiated by a scor'
OF unimpeachable witnesses. That thes'

Special Dispatch to TIE EVENING STAR.
RICHMOND, Oct. S0.-Senator John 8. Bar
bour gave the democrats to understand from
the start that this was to be Doodle campaign.
He knew that Malone would have money in
great abundance. and he said the democrats
would have to put up larger sums than they
had ever done before. Chairman Gordon has
contributed most generously to the campaign
fund. It is understood indeed that he has al
ready given as much as $4,000. Richmond has
sent %, 900 or 900 to the state committee
besides sending large sums to the black coun-
ties and supplying the city committee with all
it needs. Lynchburg and other cities have
done almost as well as Richmond, but the cry
still comes for more. Mr.. Barbour came to
Richmond yesterday afternoon, and after a
private conference with two or three leading
politicians accepted an invitation to tea at Mayor
Ellyson's. There he met number of wealthy
citizens, and as the party did not break up until
late hour it is supposed that the situation was
fully discussed and the need Of more money
explained. Mr.. Barbour, it Is understood, spoke
very gratefully Of the contributions he had re-
ceived in New York. but he said the committee
would better have too much than too little.
SENATOR BARBoURs PREDICTION.
He said to reporter that the democrats would
carry the state by l7.00o perhaps 90 900 majority.
week ago the democrats here were filed with
gloom. But now it is easy to find men who will
bet on a democratic majority of over 10000.
Mayor Ellyson, the astute politician here, says
he does not put the majority at over $4,000.
But half dozen shrewd prognosticators say it
will reach &c, 900. This. OF course. is all demo-
cratic prophecy. The Mahoneites can prophesy
just as much for their leader.
One of Mahone's lieutenants here said today
that II Malone was not elected governor he
would be appointed to federal Office. But this
is laughed at by those who think that the ad-
ministrstion will drop Malone after the elec-
ton

Special Dispatcb to THE EVENING Stan.
PETERSBURG, Va, Oct 30.-Monday sub
penas were served on the democratic regis
trars Of election Of first, third, fourth and fifth
wards to appear before the judge, d. NJ. Ber-
nard, OF the hustings court to testify why they
refused to register certain parties (six colored
men) last Saturday Gegistretion day.. The
compla,nants were Richard johnson, Joe Will.
kins, Jos. Thornton, Alex. Branch, VIM. Kelly,
W. A. Smith and JOS Litchfeld. Yesterday
the complainants and the registrars appeared
in court. The former were represented by
Messrs. Geo. s. Bernard and D. B. Lyon and
the registrars by Messrs. F. R. Lassiter and
Thos. &. Watkins. All the cases were disposed
OF with the exception of that of Branch and
Watkins, which will be heard today. The
court decided each case heard in favor Of the
registrars. Judge Bernard refused to order
the registrars to put the complainants' names
on the registration books.
THE LYNCHBURa REGISTRARS.
LYNcHBuRa, Va, Oct. 30.-The registry lists
of fexpurgated colored voters were posted yester-
day and have been subjec, to close scrutiny.
United States Distriet Attorney Craig called on
two registrars and demanded to see the lists of
expurgated voters. He was informed that he
could see them when they were posted, but not
before; that this was a state election with
which he. in his capacity as a federal official,
had nothing whatever to do.
1t is expected that several registrars will be
arrested. but there is little prospect of the
court ordering them to put back rejected names
