LII 14to14N1h l. " 4i41-
The biennial session of the legislature
opened to-day at noon, and organized
for what promises to be very impor-
taut session. The Senate is democratic,
with the exception of six members, but
the changes in the House during the
last election were numerous, and in
stead of having q solidly democratic
body in that branch, as heretofore, one
third of its members are anti-democratic.
There is some difference of opinion
among the members as to what change
should be made in the Walton election
law. The great majority of them,
however, oppose any amendments ex
cept such as may be necessary to re-
move ambiguity and perfect the law.
Senator Keezle, of Rockingham, is
among those who think that changes
should be made. Several other promi-
uent members will not commit them
selves.
Senator Mushbach thinks that more
stringent laws should be enacted to stop
gambling at Jackson City. If no one
else makes move in this direction, the
Senator says he will do so himself.
1t is expected that sharp fight will
also be made on the matter Of paying
the State military. The military ex-
pense bill for the year has been e1-
ceedingly heavy on account of the
number of times the governor has
called out the troops, and many of the
members oppose his methods of order
ing out militia, as they think, on
uifing demands:
The caucus of the democratic mem
bers of the Senate last night nominated
the following officers for that body =:
VIM. Lowenstein, of Richmond. presi-
dent pro TEN clerk, Joseph Button,
Of Appomattox; sergeant-at-arms, F. B
Watkins, of Charlotte. The House
democrats named the following as the
officers of that body: Speaker, j. F.
Ryan, of Loudoun; clerk, John Bell
Bigger, of Richmond; sergeant-at-arms,
J w. Johnson, OF Rockbridge; first
doorkeeper, Joseph Sullivan, of Mont
gomery; second, P. E. Lipscomb, Of
King and Queen. The only interest
was for the clerkship of the Senate,
in which Mr.. Button, of Appomattox,
defeated DR.. ]. W. Pendleton, who hes
held the place except for one term
ever since the death of Col. Nick
Davis, about fifteen years ago. Mr..
Button Won by only one vote. Sena-
tors Mushbach and Fairfax both voted
for Dr. Pendleton.
Mr.. Ryan, on being nominated for
Speaker Of the House, said:
"Fel ,w.dcmocratic members I am deeply
grateful for Tire honor you have conferred
up)n mo. The duties that will devoiye upon
me- vi i be important. Ishall expect you sll
to aid me rs far as possible. The dnty Of ap-
pointing committees is no easy one, and it will
take me several days to make up the slate.
may caus, some disappointments, but as
sure you that 1 shall perform the duty to the
best of my ability. l thank you"
Col. Bigger On being nominated for
Clerk of the House said:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen, declare
l wish you had left me alone until to- morrow,
for am afraid will have to say things to-
night had prepared for tomorrow" Col.
bigger then thanked the deleg- ties for the
honor they had conferred upon him, and
pledged himself to perform his duties to the
best Of his ability"

Now negro boy seventeen years old

readily sold him for that much, to kill
him deliberately, would prove that he
WAS utterly devoid of reason.
