the PLACK or TRIAL.
A Question a. to the Jurisdiction OF the
Commissioners.

A letter was written some days ago
from Fredericksburg TO the Attorney
General, making complaint that parties
charged with violating postal and other
laws Of the United States, and who were
arrested in or near fredericksburg were
brought from or through that place for
examination before a United States Com
missioner in this city, although there Is
a Commissioner residing in Fredericks-
burg. The two most recent cases were
those Of Taliaferro, charged with robbing
The postohice at Fredericksburg. and
Wallace who was arrested in Stafford,
charged with perjury in falsely swearing
to certain statements in connection with
an application for a position under the
civil service laws.
The Fredericksburg newspapers have
also agtated the matter. and it is sup
posed the Department OF Justice may
take some action In the matter.

ADDITION 10 rHE Plan
Showing How the Election of Delegate,
Is To BE Declared.

The City Democratic Committee met at
the city Circuit Courtroom last evening
persuant to a call from Chairman Pate
son. for the purpose Of supplying an
omission in the plan OF the primary
adopted at the last meeting for elccting
delegates to the Gubernatorial Conven-
ton.
The clause considered necessary is one
providing the manner in which the cleo
ton of the delegates shall be declared.
Mr.. jefferson Wallace offered a resolu-
ton which provided that the result Of
the election at each precinct should be
decided by the judges OF such precinct.
After considerable discussion of the
proprety Of committing the decision Of
the election 20 the precinct judges, an
amendment TO the seventh section Of
the plan. offered by Captain George
Wayne Anderson, was adopted, which
vests this authority only in the commit
tee itself. The seventh clause. as now
amended. reads as follows:
~ Immediately after the polls are closed
and the votes counted and certified as
aforesaid, the city committee shall meet
10 canvass the returns. and make ceruf-
cate OF the final returns Of the election,
and the City Committee shall declare as
duly elected delegates 10 the State Con-
vcntion. from each precinct, the number
OF persons receiving the highest vote in
each precinct corresponding TO the num-
Der Of delegates 10 which each precinct
has been declared entitled. In the event
of one or more candidates receiving an
equal number Of votes. II shall be decided
by lot which candidate was elected.
Captain George Wayne Anderson stated
10 the committee In behalf of Mr.. James
Botto. of jefferson ward, that the voters
of that ward would probably desire 10
send uninstructed delegates TO the con-
vention and requested the committee TO
adopt some plan by which that end could
