hear witnesses in the two contest cases
for seats in The house, of which mention
has been made before. There are quite a
number NJ witnesses to be examined. in

corruption and 'blackma!nng will DE

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION
The discussion of the financial ques-
iion on the floor of either house is still i'll
fine balance, though it is anticipated that
it will bob up serenely in the house dur
ing the course of the present week, or
the early part of next week at least.
While nothing is being heard from it in
the legislative halls in the way of debate,
it is the sole topic of conversation within
the sanctum of the finance committee,
The committees that were appointed
Friday to visit the various state depart
mentS and ascertain as to how they have
cared for the pieces of silver in their
charge, will get down 10 work this week
ana any discussion of the question of
finance will necessarily have to be de-
layed until they make report. All the
departments are getting in readiness Tor
their visit, and it is higly probable That
they will find everything run on n very
economical basis. 1t is understood that
by general consent all surplus bottles Of
ink. pens. pencils and pads of paper have
been carefully slowed away, and when
the examining committee calls they VIII
find one small ink bottle, one pen ana
holder. one pad, and one lead pencil TO
each desk. while the occupant thereof IS
busily engaged in working, i'll order that
none Of the valuable time of the state
shall be wasted. When these sub-com-
mittees make their report then, and not
till then, will you hear the questions of
appropriations discussed on the floor OF
the house In the meantime the varl-
Gus departments are anXiouS-thatS all.
THE l.. $. SENATORIAL RACE.
The United States senatorial election,
which takes place tomorrow, mas been
rather disappointing to the newspaper
boys, in that it has not proven source of
speculation and space-hlling matter. Inc
Hon. Horace Chiffon has quietly walked
into the office despite the efforts Of many
to rub up opposition against him. His
election tomorrow is Il fOregone conclu-
sion and there is little need of further
argument to that effect. His only oppo-
ncnt will be Representative Jno. A.:
O'COnnor of BeXar county. who Will poll
the full Popuist vote. This vote will be
but a drop in the bucket, however, and
Chiffon will get the election on the first

THE SALE OF REAL ESTATE

THE SALE OF REAL ESTATE.
In the senate yesterday morning the
senate substitute bill fixing the time,
place and manner of making sale of real
estate under execution was considered
and occasioned some discussion, Senator
Boren opposing the bill and Senator
Smith speaking in it's favor. The bill
provides that publishers of newspapers
shall receive for publishing sales IS cents
per square for the first insertion and so
cents per square for subsequent inser-
tions, to be taxed and paid as other costs.
In such publications ten lines shall con-
stitute a square, and the body of no such
advertisement shall be printed in larger
type that BREWER.
An amendment was presented by Sen
ator Goss, and adopted, as follows:
Provided, that on the request of any de-
PENDANT against whom judgment is rem
dered. the clerk or justice of the peace
shall note on the margin of the judgment
record the words, "To be advertised by
publication" and he shall note this fact
on the execution order of sale or vend-
ditioni exponas issued on such judgment,
and notice of this sale of any real estate
levied upon by virtue of such word shall
then be advertised in a newspaper as here
in directed.
The bill as amended was ordered en-
crossed.

Found Two Barrels of Beer.

The liquor sheriffs made five seizures
Friday, at the following places: MOL
Pleasant street, 332 and 342 Fore street.
and 127 and 81 Commercial street. They
were all small seizures, except at 1872

earth and rubbish away, and found a
trap-door, and flight of steps leading
down into dark cavern. under the els
