Congressman Catchings OF MISSISSIPPI
has arrived here He says he Is III
favor of an extra session Of Congress rs
soon as possible, so that the pledges
made bv the democrats during the late
campaign NAV he redeemed before the
people are called upon to elect new
Congress. He also says that the new
constitution OF his State works beau
tifullv. and that there is no longer any
fear of negro domination there. He
says Mississippi is now the safest State

Among those at the Capitol to-day
was Congressman Bynum of Indiana.
He saws he does not think al extra
session of the House Will be advisable
before next fall. and does not think Ii
will require long time to pass new
tariff bill, rs ihe only things TO be done
will be to remove the tax on WOOL iron
and coal. and make that on the manu-
fictulcs thereof conform. The revenue,
he SAYS. will not be reduced by such
changes. but he increased from the re-
sultant increase of imports. But should
there be a lack OF revenue, he says. he
will favor ali income tax rs the best
and most easily borne of MI taxes. He
saws he never realized until recently
what an immense drain it must be
upon the South to pay her share of the
immense pension fund, of which hardly
q cent ever comes back to her. Mr..
Bvnum is also in favor Of removing the
tax on State banks and on oleomarga-
rinc. Tor the reason that the taxing
power is conferred upon Congress for
The purpose of raising revenue. and not
TO suppress State institutions or to him
der the private business OF the country.
Mr.. Bynum says he has stopped being
a demagoguc.

expenses were paid that the furniture
at headquarters was not sold rs Is usual,
but was given to the employees who
live in New York.

From Richmond it is learned to-day
that in the reorganization OF the Nir-
ginia Court of Appeals it is possible
that, to save the Judiciary of the State
from the imputation of being political
organization. at least one OF the men,
beers of the present court may be retain
ed, and that such course would be the
more easily adopted as all the members
of the present court, it is understood
except one, voted against the high tar
liz and the Force bill at the late cleo
ton.
A Virginia lawyer here to-day, in
talking about the application for a new
trial in the Phillips murder case from
Alexandria, said he was of the opinion
that Phillips would be granted Il new
trial, even if the Court Of Appeals
should stand two to two, as il would be
