We are glad to learn by a special to
the 1ymes-Dmoc'ut of New Orleans, Of
the 10th, that the University Of the
south at Sewanee, Tenn, an Episcopal
college Of the highest grade, opened
the Lent term Of the twenty.sixth year
of its life with impressive exercises.
Every evidence Of increasing prosperi-
tv was visible in every department of
Is work. A prosperous year was visi-
hle in the number Of students present,
"a we'll as those expected. The changes
followed by the death Of former officers
have been happily made without lower
inc the high standard Of education
taught in that favorite Episcopal col
lepe Of the South. The university has
added two prospering schools in two
wears, and has made itself felt in hall
: and fold in the last five years in a way
antitliug it to first rank among univer-
.ities known for their men, not num-
hers or endowment. sewanee is unen-
dowed, and has been built by Southern
energy and patronage. This college
will ultimately be endowed, and will
take It's place with the best and highest
schoolsof learning In our common coun-
try. To 1t will Be directed the chris
tisn energy and laudable pride Of this
Grand old church In the South. Their
work Is not the spontaneous outcome
Of competition, but the slow and almost
silent efforts Of u church which traced
it's origin to the foundation Of the
christian religion. Keeping all the
spiritusl elements Of q christian
church, and discarding much that ig-
notauce and superstition had engrafted
in the intervening years. 1t has kept
on it's career Of usefulness without any
biqotry in any direction. Many Of
the greatest men in former ages, and
many Of the best, purest and most
learned scholars Of this day, both In
Europe and America, feel honored as
communicants at its holy altars, and
amongst them We must be allowed to
mention the honored name Of w. E.
Gladstone, st whose mention the free
American citizen iustinctively raises
his hat.

members from the Northern States, so that
they must make a gain OF ut least sixty mann
beers in this secsion in order to control the
House.
1t is not easy to see where the Re-
publicans can make these gains. New
York will hardly give that party any
aid or comfort, and New Jersey by the
most infamous accommodating can
hardly be relied upon for gains OF
more than one or two. The radical
Republican States, such as Pennsyl-
vania, did about their worst in the
last Congressional election. and the
Populists are likely to be as strong
as ever in their own strongholds this
fall.
1t is very probable that the Demo-
cratic majority in the House willSe
reduced, but there is no reasonable
prospect that the complexion of the
House will be changed.

ERIE TRACK ELEVATION BILL
1t will BE Acted ON Next Monday
Night.
Special to the jersey city Meas.

TRENTON, April 26, 1S94.-Mr. CAROLS
bill for the elevation of the Erie tracks in
Jersey City is having an exceedingly hard
time, and its chances of passing at this time
are not much brighter han eleven F.. NJ. of
a stormy night. Yesterday afternoon the
speaker brought it up, and Mr.. Carroll inn
mediately asked to have it laid over until
Monday night.
ssThat's about the twentieth time the gen
tleman from Hudson has asked to have this
bill laid over" said the Speaker looking IN
noyed.
The implication which this remark raised
brought Mr.. Carroll TO his feet with in
dignation blazing from his eyes" as Max
Salinger would say. He denied the Speakers
insin1ation, and said that the reason why he
wanted it paid over this afternoon was be-
cause seven votes which had been promised
him were absent.
The Speaker asked Mr.. Carroll if he did
not ask him that very day to bring the bill
up, and Mr.. Carroll replied he did, but it
was for the purpose of having it made a
special order for Monday evening.
Mr., Olcott, who is great champion of
corporations, moved that the vote by which
the bill was laid over, be reconsidered. MIR.
Carroll arose and loudly shouted that there
were LOBBYISTS on the floor and wanted en-
forced the rule which provides that no one
shall be admitted to the floor except mem
bers and State officers. The Speaker set
tied the difficulty by putting the measure
over until Monday.
All the railroads rave joined the Erie In
this matter and are making a desperate eff
fort to have the bill killed. They are using
such arguments as chat the bill is unconsti-
tutionaI since the road is in the hands Of the
United States Courts, and the State of New
Jersey cannot interfere.
They are also using the old chestnut that
the ompan is bankrupt and cannot bear
the expense of ~elevating these tracks.
These arguments have weight and many
members are being influenced by them

tabled.
The House, at the opening of the evening
session, took up the Senate concurrent reso-
luton requesting the New Jersey Senators
and representatives in Congress to oppose
that portion of the Income Tax feature of
the Wilson bill taxing shares and moneys in
building and loan associations. Mr.. Flynn
said the Democrats in Congress would act as
democrats and vote as the people of New
Jersey directed them to when Grover Cleve-
land was elected. Mr.. Wilson also opposed
the resolution, but it was adopted by a vote
of rs to 10.

which the enacting clause was stricken out, =
suddenly exclaimed Mr.. Stokes. .
Move to lay that motion on the table,"
said Mr.. Ketcham. The object of these mo
tions was to carry the subject over until all
the Republicans were presentto save the bill.
s'Call for the ayes and nays" came from
Senator Adrain.
Second the notion shouted Mr.: DAILY.
These motions meant disaster to the Repub-
lican plans, as the Democrats had the most
votes, Notwithstanding the fact that Messrs.
Bradley and Packer had returned to the
Senate Chamber. The vote was taken and
the Democrats won. Mr.. Stokes moved to
postpone further action until tomorrow, but
again the Republicans were outvoted.
The one thing left to be followed in the
natural course was action on Mr.. Stokes
motion to reconsider, and nothing but defeat
and the destruction of the billlooked the Re-
publicans square in the eyes.
ssMr. President, move we adjourn" ex-
claimed Mr.. Stokes suddenly.
"Ayes and nays cried Mr.. Adrain.
The call on Abrams motion was put, and
although the Republicans didn't have
enough votes to carry the adjournment mo-
ton, President Rogers declared it carried,
and the Republican Senators lost no time in
getting out of the Chamber. Adjournment
saved the bill. It can be brought up today
under the head of unfinished business.

REPUBLICANS CAUGHT MAPPING
The Legal Department. Bill Nearly
Smothered.
Special to the Jersey city Neacs.

special 70 tN6 Jersey Guy NeSS.
TRENTON, April &c, 1S94.-The Republican
Senators were caught mapping yesterday
afternoon, and were forced TO beat a hasty
and decidedly inglorious retreat to S ave the
Newark and Jersey City Legal Department
bill from an untimely grave. The measure
has been fully described in THE NEWS.
Senator Ketcham has charge OF the bill in
the Upper House, and he probably thought
that yesterday afternoon was as good a time
as any to call it up and ADVANCE it. But
Mr.. Eetcham had neglected the all import
ant p~recaution of counting noses. He failed
to observe that Messrs. Hoffman, Thompson
and Ward were among the missing, and let
the fact slip his mind that MessTs. Skirm
and Bradley were not particularly enamored
of the bill.
The Essex Senator explained that the mear
sure was in great demand in Newark, and
added that if it became a law $4,000 per
annum would be saved to the tax payers of
that city.
ssThat might be in Newark, but it would
saddle 5000 extra a year on Jersey City,"
piped Senator DAILY.
DAILY had evidently been taking in the situa-
ton, and was aware of the enemy's weak
pess, for in a quiet, soft-toned way he moved
that the enacting clause in the bill be stricken
out.
Mr.. Ketcham declared that with this and
other reform measures, Essex and Hudson
would save $41, zoe a year. Senator Daily
did not represent the majority Ill Hudson
county, he went on, ard could not very well
be expected TO speak their sentiments.
"When the people of Hudson county rant
any one to speak for them, they will hardly
cali upon an accident like you to express
their views fred back DAILY.
"I,m an accident that will stay there
years, though, y retorted Ketcham.
Matters were becoming unpleasant1y
warm when Suddenly the alert DAILY called

THE MARRIAGE LICENSE BILL
Passed the House After an Interest
ing Discussion.

Special to the JERSEY City Netcs.
TRENTON, April 26, l1s94.-The only bill
which provoked anything ike a discussion
at last nights session of the House was Mr..
Thompson's bill providing that any person
who shall unite IN marriage two persons who
nave not procured a license from the County
Clerk shall be fined a sum not exceeding
500. Mr.. Thompson, in urging the passage
of the bill, referred to the crying disgrace of
the Camden clergymen who make a buslnes
of performing marriage ceremonies. They
nave cards printed giving their addresses,
which they distribute among the hackmen
at the ferries, to be given to couples coming
from Philadelphia to be married.
Several of them paid hackmen
a commission for bringing couples
to them. So great had the evil become that
1000 marriages were solemnized in Camden
last year. Mr.. Thompson related several
instances of what he called 'srapid transit
marriages, (" which were performed by these
ministers. He then turned bis attention to
the s'cherubic certificates" and provoked
the House to laughter by his description of
the cherubs i'll the corner n 9(4od, Bless
Our Home" beneath. Then he told of the
Philadelphia newspaper man who was mar
ried five times in one night while work
ing up'' the story. Then the scathing re-
Duke which Judge Gordon delivered to one
of those marrying ministers who had mar
ried a fifteen-year-old school girl to a dissi-
pated debauchee was read.
Mr.. Wilbur also supported the bill and
characterized the situation in Camden as a
most heinous evil in the State. Pennsyl-
vania and New York had such laws and it
was time New Jersey had.
While admitting all that Mr.. Thompson
said about the bill, Mr.. Storrs doubted
whether the new law would help matters
any. Mr.. Lewis wanted the bill SO amended
that it would take effect July A. Mr.. Flynn
supported the bill, and Mr. Wilson made a
witty speech against it. He said that this
law was not wanted in his county, Warren.
He didn't see why fault should be found
with the thrift of the clergymen in Camden.
Marrying five times was better than not
marrying at all. He didn't think he should
be envious of the ministers Of Camden be-
cause they were more active in the marry
ing business than the ministers of his county.
They kept the crop of old maids and bach
elors from becoming too abundant. The bill
passed. 80 to 8.

Jersey City and providing for the selection
of their successors, stirred the first breeze.
When it was called upon third reading and
final passage, Mr.. Flynn interposed an OBJ
lection on the ground that had
been given to amend it in several respects.
Mr.. Woolsey of Essex here took the floor
and announced hat at a conference of
Essex and Hudson representatives held at
Jersey City last Friday night it was agreed
to pass the bill.
from Mercer n Camden and other parts of
New Jersey to that conferences" put in Mr..
Harrigan. This is a bad bill in a whole lot
of ways and is d rank partisan grab"
"You are doing the identical thing you de-
nounced Democrats for doing,n said Mr..
Byrne of Essex. 'Your stump speaker a
few short weeks ago declared the Democrats
denied the people the rights of direct rep
resentation. l hold that l am justified in
speaking against the passage Of this measure
because of my record on Board of Works
legislation. It is plain that you simply want
the offices for your people and have not the
interests of the public at heart"
Hold onP interrupted Mr.. Woolsey,
chow are members of the Board of Works

II nave nothing to do with that replied
Mr.. Byrne. II am responsible for my
record only. supported the repeater of the
Board of Works last year, because / felt
that the commissioner should be elected
by the people. | feel now as l felt then, and
for that reason I have taken the liberty to
protest against the bill.n He then claimed
that the Board of Works of Newark nae
accomplished much good, and that the mem
bers had never performed a dishonorable act.
This brought Mr.. Eisele to his feet with
an attack On the Newark Board of Works.
That body and it's acts had aroused
the people SO chat they repudiated both by a
plurality of over 4, 200 votes about two weeks
ago.
I'm a speech a few days ago you attributed
the turnover in Newark to the tariff, y inter
jected Mr.. Beekman. Now which was it?
Tariff or Board of Works."
'Both.n rerorted Eisele. ''The people
don't want men in office who will pay 81, 200
for property worth $4,000. We want all
the good water we can get, but we want to
obtain it in a business like way
s'Tl bet you would like to have been the
agent who arranged that sale" said Harri-
gan Continuing he charged that the Jug
Cling with legislation was keeping thousands
of suffering poor men out of work in New
ark. Mr.. Byrne claimed that the Ivy Hill
property referred to by Mr.. Eisele) was
worth the money paid for it.
The bill was passed, but Mr.. Somers of
Somerset voted against it. Mr.. Woolsey
walked over to Mr.. Somers and asked him
why he voted as he did.
Just because am getting tired sitting
here day after day doing nothing but voting
to put democrats out of Office replied Mr..
Somers. II want to vote on some bills of
general interest, and my people feel about
the same way"
rs there anything here you are looking

castically.
IF I want anything I will get it, re-
turned Mr.. Somers with warmth. Il won't
ask for anything from your delegation at

The Next Congress.

We have before us at this time two
interesting speculations as to the
complexion of the next House of Re-
representatives.. One is by "West." the
very well informed Washington or-
respondent of the True american, the
other is embodied in an editorial in
the Philadelphia Press. The True
American contributor figures it out
that the prospects OF a Democratic
House are very good, indeed, especial
ly If the speedy passage of the Tariff
bill gives the business of the country
time to adjust itself to the new condi-
tions before the vote is taken. The
calculation is that at least 100 seats
will be carried to a certainty in the
Southern States. This makes it neces-
a to carry fifty-nine seats in h
North and West. There are excellent
prospects of doing this. There are
twenty-eight States to do it in, andfn
the present Congress they return
nearly a hundred Democratic mem
bers.
The Press, while it tries to be cour-
ageous, evidently is not really conf
dent. Here is a paragraph in which
It very frankly exposes the weakness

R%AILROAD1NG A BILL
Sneefa1 N the Jersev Citv Neus.

TRENTON, April 26, 1S94.-Among the
bills introduced in the House last night was
one by MI. Ginder affecting the pay OF
Sheriffs for taking prisoners to the work
house in second-c1ass counties. About ten
minutes afterward it was brought up on
second reading. Mr.. Carroll wanted 70
know when the bill had been reported by
the committee to which it had been referred.
He also wanted to know If that was the
proper method Of procedure. The Speaker
ruled that at this late stage Of the session
the course taken was proper.
Then Mr.. Carroll launched forth. He de-
manded to know if he had any rights, and
before that question could be answered he
declared that he had rights which he pro-
nosed to have maintained. The same COM
m;ttee had had in their possession a bill of
his COR over three months, and he could not
get it cut. But then they could report a
Bill of one OF their friends in less than five
rnimutes He refused to reliDquish any OF
his rights, and the bill went over.

AssEMBLYMEN CAUCUS.

TRENTON, April 28, 1S94.-Prior to the
opening of last nights session of the House
the Republican Assemblymen held a caucus.
Mr.. Storrs tried to have the bill to annex
Stockton township to Camden City, adopted
as a caucus measure, but the members put
their feet down very hard on the PROPOSE
ton. 1t was agreed to place the seal of eau
Gus approval ON the bill to wipe out the
latest gerrymandered assembly district lines
and the measure providing for the election
of members Of the Assembly by the people
of an entire county.
