WILL THERE BE AN EXTRA SESSION ?
The Institutional Amendment and the
Walton Law Discussed.

The Richmond correspondent OF the
Norfolk Landmark writes:
The question of whether or not an
extra session of the General Assembly
will be held during the coming winter Is
beng pretty generally discussed through
out the State The chances are that III
the Legislature Is called together. 1t VIII
have TO be done by two thirds OF the
members OF both houses uniting In re-
quest to the Governor TO convene II. Inc
position of Governor O'Ferrall. as at
present advised, Is that there exists no
such urgent necessity for new legislation
as would warrant him In subjecting the
Commonwealth to such a great expense
as the sitting of the lawmakers entails.
The only possible reason for wanting the
General Assembly to meet this WINTER
would be to put into operation the con-
stitutional amendment recently rauhed py
popular vote, which authorizes the enact
ment of law clothing trial justices win
the powers that they held prior TO the
decision in the Mary Miller case. THIS
would save the State. II Is thought, some
$50 900 or $4,000 per annum, and IL Is
argued by the special session adj
yocates that this would justify the
calling together Of the General Assembly.
II has also been contended that with an
extra session the Walton law, which the
Republicans hope by their numerous con-
tests 10 either nullify or bring In such
disrepute as TO insure its repeal. m.sht
be so amended as to make 1t more ac-
ceptable to those Democrats who are
calling for greater reform In election
methods. The ground Is taken by those
who hold this view that II would be bet
ter for the party to revise the law before
the reform campaign, and not leave that
work to be done by the Legislature that
will be elected nearly year hence. AS
the Frfty-fourth Congress just elected
will not meet until December, 1888, the
Virginia election statute cannot possibly
be brought under review in the contests
TO be made by defeated Republicans Tor
seats In that body until some time IN
the early part of 1896. Indeed, with the
large majority that the Republicans vii!
have in the next House. II Is not thought
that they will be IN any great hurry
about unseating Democrats sunless 1t Is
shown on the surface that there has been
palpable fraud. The Virginia Democrats
will hardly want to condemn their cleo
tion-law before the Republicans pass

HENRY WATTERsON's DAUGHTER.
She Is an Accomplished Woman-A Good
Musician.
New York Herald.)


The oldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Watterson. Miss Mllbrey Waiter
son. who was married at the residence Of
her parents recently to Mr.. William
Alonzo Miller. was one of the most popu-
lar and accomplished Of Louisviile's bellies.
She was educated abroad. and. having
inherited her fathers love of music and
taste for literature nothing was spared
in the way of study and instruction to
perfect her naturally bright mind in this
direction.
Mrs. Miller is probably one Of the finest
amateur pianists in this country-in fact,
there are many professionals who might
hesitate TO play before her. She Is espe-
cialIy devoted to some kinds of Spanish
music.
Her taste In literature Is as keen and
critical az her talented fathers. Many
times she has been his assistant in his
lighter work and reading hours.
Since she finished her school education
Mr. Watterson has made somewhat of Il
companion of her. He often speaks with
warmth and pride of her achievements.
Perhaps nowhere Is he seen to such adj
vantage as in his own home, surrounded
by his family. where he becomes Il child
among his children. ~
Already Mrs. Miller mas Hdu inc ''t"-
ing OF the pen" and has INDUCED the
impulse TO write to some extent.
1t is not generally known that accident
made Mr. Watterson a writer; but such
is the case. When a very young man IL
WAS his great ambition to become must
clan. and he devoted his attention 10
the study Of the piano; but an accident
TO his thumb hindered him so disas-
trously In his execution that he decided
10 turn his attention 10 the pen.
When Christine Nilsson first came 10
this country she had letter of intro
ductlon TO Mr.. Watterson and the first
| time she ever heard way Down Upon the
| Suwanee River was when II rippled
| from his fingers In soft chords on the
plano
she was enraptured. and made him
| teach her, note by note and word by
| word. the plaintive ballad. which lives IN
! the hearts and memory OF all who ever
heard the beautiful singer whose voice
made IL world famous.

The Nicaragua Canal.

The present Democratic Administration
about to pass for a season, short or long,
with the control of affairs can make no
greater gift TO the South, to the united
states and to the world. nor rear greater
monument TO their honor. than by proper
legislation to ensure the early complexion
of the canal across the lsthmus OF Daiieh.
That will open to the South the markets
OF China and Japan for its cotton, the
western shore of North and South Ameri-
ca for its coal and iron. and 70 the
whole country the trade of the PACING
countrles-and the empire of the world.
