1t Is very inconsist ent TO hedge
naturalization about with grievous
restrictions, and at the same time
grant the rights Of citizenship with
out requiring any naturalization at
all. If the Convention really feels
that citizenship should only be
granted upon severe conditions, it's
members should be very chary Of
passing the special certificate Sec
ton, which dispenses the privileg, g
of citizenship with a free and lib
eral hand. =.

HAWAII B0Bs UP,
But Is Speedily Suppressed by the
Democratic Senator's.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-After an
amendment to the Hawaiian reso-
luton by Vest declaring in favor
of letting the Sandwich islanders
choose their own form of Govern
ment had been laid on the table
the Tariff bill was taken up.
PETER made motion to Law
aside the tariff and resume the con-
sideration of Hawaiian affairs. His
motion was defeated, the Republic
cars and Popuiists voting in the
affirmative.

THE charges made by Senator
KYLE and another that an attempt
was made to bribe them to vote
against the tariff bill is of highly
sensational nature. Senator Kyle
is a man of high personal charac-
ter, and not one to make accusa-
tions without good grounds for do
ing SO. In the meantime, the re-
suit of all is that the tariff bill
still hangs between earth aud
heaven, and no mortal can predict
whether it will go up or down.

SUGAR has dropped again. 1t

LATE advices from New York
show that the woman suffrage agi-
tation is as active as ever. Out
side of the large cities, it has failed
to excite any general interest, but
in New York city itself, and the
other large centers, it has absorbed
attention to the exclusion of al
most everything else. The zeal
with which many society women
have thrown themselves into the
movement, is an unexpected feat
ure of the 81 uation.

THE POLICE BALL.-Arrangeme
for the ball to be given by the police at
McBurney's Hall tomorrow night have
all been perfected. and from present ap-
pearances the affair will be one of the
most successful of the kind ever given
in this city. Capt. James F. Webster,
the chairman of the committee of ar
engagements, has been untiring in his
labors, as have also all the other men,
bers of the committee. Lieutenant
James Smith will be master of cere-
monies, and Messrs. Samuel Jenkins,
X. NJ. Latham and James T. Smith the
floor managers. 1t is proposed to give
q genuine old Alexandria ball-akin to
those which always closed the ODD of
February festivities in the olden times.
That all who attend will spend de-
lishtful evening goes without saying.
There viii be no calls made for invited
guests On the part OF the committee OF
arrangements, il being understood that
all who desire to-a;tend will not object
10 walking TO the hall when the object
for which the entertainment is given Is
taken into consideration. The police
have a few tickets left which they hope
to dispose of before tomorrow night.

EXCITEMENT.-Some excitement was
created on St Asaph street, between
King and Prince, on Tuesday night ly
the suspicious actions of young man,
whose identity at the time was un-
known, but whose personality has since
developed. He was seen by q store
keeper to surreptitiouslv enter a small
unoccupied house on that square, and
the party who watched his movements,
supposing he was burglar, but not
deeming it safe to modest him, started
after the police, and on his way down
the street told a number Of persons
whom he accosted what he had seen.
In few minutes quite crowd had
gathered around the small structure.
The inmates (the man having been
joined by companion of a differ
ent hue in the meantime) upon
discovering the excitement which had
been created, clambered over back
fences and made their escape through
friendly alley into Pitt street. The
parties to the adventure, realizing that
their names are known to the police,
are suffering somewhat from apprehen-
sion. Section 37S7 of the Virginia code
provides for fine of not less than fifty
nor more than five hundred dollars for
such oflenses.

THE BURNING OF THE CoIT.-Capt.
James Richardson, charged with setting
fire to the steamer Colt, was given ii
preliminary hearing in the police court
of Washington yesterday. The boat
was insured in the name of Mrs. FL zl-
beth Plass for sc, 800, but Capt. Randall
on the stand stated that he saw the
boat just before the fire and placed its
value at $1,000
Geo. w. White, the engineer on the
boat, gave very damaging testimony.
lie saw Capt Richardson at one time
throw into the stove a can of oil, which
exploded with great force. He remark
ed that the boat would be burned up,
but the captain stated he didn't care if
il was. Witness said that the captain
told Mr.. Plass that he burned the boat
and Mr.. Plass told him. White worked
on the boat for some time.
George Gatchel said he came to inves-
tigate the burning Of the steamer as a
representative of an insurance company
lie requested Capt. Richardson to make
a clean breast Of the affair, telling him
ifhe did so he would not be prosecuted.
He said that the captain promised TO
comply with the request, but failed to
state who set fire to the boat. He
thought that the capain was playing a
dual hand and for that reason had him
arrested. He was quite certain that
Mr.. Richardson was paid for the work.
The court inquired the whereabouts
of Plass. Mr.. Darlington stated that
he represented Mr.. Plass and that he
could have him in court in short time.
His client wanted a warrent against the
witnesses for consiracy. At this point
the case was continued until Friday.

William.
senator Mushbach advocated the
claims of Judge J. X. NJ Norton, of
This city. who he said was unknown to
most of the members of the General
assembly because he would not go
there to lobby for a position. He said
Indse Norton was great grandson Of
Hon. John Marshall, Chief Justice of
the nited States. He had been judge
in Alexandria for five or six years and
given universal satisfaction Mr.. Mush.
bach read q number of letters to show
that Judge Norton was the choice of
tbe majority of the bar of the circuit.
lie appealed TO the caucus to correct
the suppression abroad that it was nee
cssary to be a member Of the legisla-
lure in order to be elected to judicial
position. While he did not object to
see members of the legislature elected
;udees, ne hoped that in this case an
exception be made from the rule and
some one else be elected judge. He was
endorsed by every member of the bar
of Alexandria, majority of the mem
hers in Fairfax and Fauquier, while in
Loudoun the members were about
equally divided.
Messrs Miller of Rappahannock,
Harris. of Albemarle, Patterson, of
Buckingham, and Hunton, of Fauquier,
seconded Mr.. Nicol's nomination. Mr..
Harris said he had not risen to second
the nomination of a gentleman who was
connected with Chief Justice Marshall
or had an ancestry to boast of, but of
gentleman who had been selected for
his merit and ability, and this gentle
man was Mr.. Nicol
Mr.. Hunton took the issue with MIR.
aiusiibach's contention that Judge Nor
ton wa. endorsed by the majority OF
the lawyers of the circuit.
Mr.. Pitcher, of Fauquer, seconded
the nomination Of Judge Norton.
At J.1O the ron Was clIlcl, anu VIC

ever. the nomination of Mr.. Nicol was,
on motion of Mr. Pitcher, made unani-
nous.
Senator Mushbach next placed in
nomination Judge Norton for another
term, as Judge of the Corporation Court
of Alexandria. The nomination was
seconded by Dir. Willard, and Judge
Norton was subsequently nominated by
reclamation.
In the Legislature to-day an election
was held and both the nominees were
elected
