The Virginia Legislature.

When the bill reported from the
Committee on General Laws with
the recommendation that it DO not
pass providing for the regulation
of the sale of liquor by druggists
in districts where local option ex-
lists came up ON the third reading
it was rejected. Senator Stubs
explained that the recommendation
of the COMMITTEES was based on the
fact that the bill gave druggists
too much license.
These bills were introduced: BY
Senator Jones: To amend and re-
enact section s, of the act entitled
an act to'incorporate the Pittsburg
and Virginia Railroad Company,
approved March 3, 1884. By Sen
ator Harnsberger: To amend an
act Incorporating the Rockingham
and West Virginia Railway and
Mining and Manufacturing Com
pany.
A bill was introduced which is
the outcome of the recent much
agitated question of whether white
females of this State should have
the same advantage of education
which are given to it's males. The
measure provides that white fe-
males of this State shall be allowed
to enter the University of Virginia
upon the same terms as males and
be then allowed to pursue all stud
les taught in that institution.
A bill was considered introduced
by S. A. Thompson, OF Patrick,
which seeks to amend the existing
law so as to do away with the pro-
vision requiring registrars to keep
the books open on the second Tues
day in The month of May Of every
other year. The bill provides that
hereafter the books shall only be
kept open ten days before every |
election. Mr.. Thomas explained
that by doing awry with the regis
tration in May the State would |
save about $4,000 a year.

and RELY, but we do think in elect
ing Mr.. Harrison over such men as
Judge Mclaughlin and Robert
B lrton, great mistake has been
made; too little regard has been
paid to merit and undOubted ability
and too much regard from person
al stand point, We urge no objec-
tion against Mr.. Harrison as a
man of honest intentions, vet We
do know that in comparison with
the other two aspirants he is little
qualified to occupy a seat on the
bench of the Supreme Court of
Appeals of Virginia. Staunton
has men who would discharge with
credit the duties of that high judi
cial position and had one of the
leading members Of that bar de
feated Judge Mclaughlin and Mr..
Barton we could not complain, but
to elevate a man who is more prom
inent as a commissioner in chan
Gerry than es practicing attorney
is absurd and beyond our compre-
hension. 1t does seem at this day
that ability and true merit go for
naught and that eternal unfitness"
is considered rather than eternal
fitness. We cannot explain why
such q state should exist, but we
can say with prominent lawyer of
Virginia. and one more capable of
expressing an opinion than our
self, that Judge McLaughlin's de-
feat is a State calamity"

Miss Phelps Discovered.

BRooMBURe, Pa, Jan. 2.-Ianthe
Phelps, who is said to have eloped
with Rev. Charles NJ. Bragg, from
Baltimore. Nd, during the latter
part OF Novem Der, and for whom a
liberal reward was offered, has been
hiding at the house of q farmer
Lindemuth, about eight miles south
east of here. Miss Phelps is IS
years old, and was the organist in
the Methodist church of which the
Rev. Mr.. Bragg was pastor. The
latter deserted wife and five
children.
Miss Phelps returned to her
home today and there was much
rejoicing among large circle Of
friends, with whom she was great
favorite,
Indignation is being showered
upon the clerical scoundrel for his
course. Bragg's whereabouts are
unknown, but he is supposed to be
in the West.

! All of the old Hawaiian stray
has been Refreshed since the news
arrived via Auckland that the ex-
queen Of Hawaii had agreed to the
conditions first submitted to her
and that Minister Willis had in ac-
cordance with his original instruc-
tions requested the provisional gov
eminent to retire in her favor, and
that the provisional government
had declined to do so. President
Cleveland has later dispatches which
came from Hawaii by the steamer
Corwin, but neither he nor Secreta'
ry Gresham has made their nature
public. Whether they confirm the
Auckland dispatch is not positively
known, but from remarks Of DEM
ocratic Congressman who have seen
the president since he received them
it is inferred that they do. Either
way we would not change the situa-
ton at all, as Minister Willis had
positive instructions not to use
force to bring about the change, a
fact Of which Minister Willis had
positive instructions rot to use
force to bring about the change. a
fact of which Minister Thurston
who is now in Hawaii, was well
aware before be left Washington
and which Of itself made it almost
certain that there would be no
change, unless the provisional gov
eminent Voluntarily retires.
Representative Pendleton, of
Texas, has introduced free coinage
bill, making the average price of
gold and silver for sixty days from

Tie bill for the repeal of the
federal election laws will be taken
up in the Senate tomorrow, and it
is expected that it will be passed in
the next three weeks, the under
standing being that the republicans
are not to filibuster against it.

The. Supreme Court Of Appeals
Of Virginia.

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 5.-The
Caucus Of the Democratic mem.
bers of the State Legislature was
begun here this afternoon at 4
o'clock. Its object WAS the nomi-
nation Of five judges of the SUI
preme Court of Appeals Of Virgin
ia. Ever since the legislators re-
turned to the capitol after the holi-
day vacation. they have been be-
sieged by the friends OF the rival
candidates for judicial honors and
the hotels have been swarming
with lawyers who were here to
urge the claims of some fayorite.
1t was the aim of the caucus to
distribute the judgeships impartial
]y among the five geographical d.
visions of the State, but there was
great division of sentiment among
the mem berS from the Southwest
and Valley members az to their
respective representatives on the
bench. The caucus determined to
settle these disputes by "a primary:
The Southwest offered five candi-
dates and of these ex-Congressman
John A. Buchanan was selected as
the choice Of the primary.
The Valley offered Messrs. Geo.
Nj. Harrison, of Staunton; r. T.
Barton, of Winchester; and Viii
liam Mclaughlin, of ockbridge.
Mr.. Harrison was selected Oh the
third ballot.
The vote in these primaries did
not bind any member participating
to support either Mr.. Harrison or
Mr.. Buchanan ON the regular eau
Gus ballot.
The first regular ballot of TIE
caucus was reached about s o'clock
with tie following result, Ha.ri-
son, 112; Buehanon, 1O7; Rely, IS;
Cardwell, 80; Keith, II; Horrley, |

WASHINGTON LETTER,
[rrom our Regular Corresp ondent, !

GFrom our Regular Correspondent
| WASHINGTON. d. G. Jan. g.
st. Andrew Jackson'ss Day finds
many democrats of the House in a
predicament where they may well
ask where am at?" The first
four days of Congress contained a
succession of surprises for the aver
erage democrat, in the continued
failure to get quorum of demo-
Gratis in the House to vote for the
resolutions reported from the COM
mittee on Rules making the Will
son tariff bill special continuing
order until January 25, when a f.
nal vote is to be taken thereon.
That some democrats were oppos-
ed to certain schedules in the bill
was, of course, known, but that any
considerable number of them would
carry their opposition to the extent
Of declining to attend the session of
the House in order to make up a
voting quorum of democrats, in
order to prevent the bill being ia
ken up, was certainly not believed
until the fact was made so plain
that it could no longer be doubt
ed.
The names of 81 democratic
members of the House have been
published as opposing the personal
income tax and as none of them
have entered denial it is fair to
assume that the list published was
correct. This may account for the
seeming sudden increase of the
democratic opposition to the tariff
bill, but the income tax is not yet a
part of the tariff bill and indeed
may never be, as their is probabili-
ty, amounting almost to a certain
ty, that the Ways and Means
committee will report it to the
House as separate and distinct bill
to stand or fall on it's own merits,
Instead Of Offering il as an amend
ment on the tariff bill.
The democratic caucus while it |
did not specific ally endorse the
tariff bill did so indirectly without
division when it adopted Speaker
Crisp's resolution, that it was the
duty of every democratic member
Of the House to vote for the resolu-
ton from the committee on Rules
providing for the consideration of
The tariff bill: also to attend the
laily sessions in order that press
ng public business might be
attended to; but the trouble, or
It least portion of it arises from
he fact that only a few more than
two-thirds Of the democratic
members of the House attended the
caucus and that those who did not
lttend do not regard the resolution
IS binding on them. If any demo.
rats were benefited by this cross
'ulling it would be more excusta-
'le, but they are only playing into
he hands of the republicans who
re openly exulting over the pres
mt deplorable condition of affairs.
Steps have been taken-orders |
ssued for the arrest of absentees-
which is believed will result in

louise who is well enough to come, |

market to be worked up To give an
idea of how rottabls it is to raise hogs
here, Eugene Brown stated that on
Wednesday he had bought from j, B,

$105, or over $l3 piece. When it is
remembered that the investment is small

Q. L. Vawn, the forger, will stand
