A STAND FOR STATES RIGHTS.
The Issue of Warrants Brought Up in
the Mississippi Convention.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. s.-Senator George
called the big convention to order this
morning at $3.50 o'clock, and balloting for
attorney general was resumed On the
twelfth ballot Messrs. Hudson and Trot-
ter were Withdrawn and Hon. Wiley N.
Nash of Oktibbeha was nominated.
A. A. Kincannon of Lauderdale was
nominated on the first ballot for superin-
tendent of education.
Most of the morning session was con-
sumed in an attempt to exclude all prox-
les from voting. Chairman George ruled
that proxies had no business in a demo-
cratic convention, but an appeal from
the decision of the chair was made and
carried.
Congressman Money introduced a reso-
luton at the end of the morning session
indorsing Gov. Stone in protesting against
the ruling of the treasury department in
the matter of the issuance of the state
warrants, which were declared forgeries
by Chief HaZen. Senator George, from
his position in the speakers stand, in
dorsed the resolution in toto and declared
the action of the government in inter-
fering in the business affairs of the state
was not only unconstitutional, but imper-
tinent in the extreme His speech was
followed by the most terrific applause ever
heard in Jackson. In this connection it
will be remembered that a year ago Mis-
sissippi issued 100000 made by the ST.
Louis Bank Note Company, that Mr. Ha-
zen, of the secret service, declared them
in dangerous similitude to bank notes"
and that he called for their suppression
Gov. Stone refused to accede to Mr. Ha-
zens demand, and was arrested and car
ried before a federal commission on a
charge of counterfeiting, being released
on his own recognizance, as was also the
auditor and treasurer. The grand Jury
failed to indict, and no trial was ever
had.

BOWLER AND THE BOUNTY.
Senator Blanchard Denies His Right
to Refuse to Pay II.

senator Blanchard Denies His Right
to Refuse to Pay II.
Washington, Aug S.-The argument by
counsel to convince Controller Bowler
mat he has neither power or jurisdiction
to determine the constitutionality of the
law appropriating $5,25OOOO to pay sugar
bounty claims on the crops of 1894 was re-
sumcd in the office of the controller this
morning at 1879 o'clock. Senator Blanch-
ard was the first speaker. He said he and
and the gentlemen associated with him
would present the argument under three
general heads. First, that the controller
OF the treasury is without authority to
question the validity of an act of con-
gress; second. that the appropriation al
lowed in question is of a constitutional
warrant; third, that if it be not constitu-
tonal. strong equities existed justifying
congress in making the appropriation, and
that congress has equitable jurisdiction.
He said he would address himself more
particularly to the first, touching only in
d general way upon the other two, leav-
ing il to his associates to amplify the ar
gument upon them.
Senator Blanchard occupied all the af-
tefnOon with his argument. In conclud-
Ing, he said it was preposterous TO sup
pose that congress would allow subordi-
nate officer to impeach its law-making
power. If this was done the law-making
power must cease to exist or vindicate it.

NORFOLK AND WESTERN.
The Accounts of the Road Found to
BE Correct.

New York, Aug. S.-The secretary of the
Norfolk and Western bondhOlders' com
mittee makes the following statement:
AT the instance of the committee, a
thorough investigation. and exhaustive re-
port on the accounts of the company for
the last three years had been made by the
accountants, Messrs. Price, Warehouse &
Co. the result of which, save some modi-
fications of minor Importance. is consid-
cred by the committee as confirming the
accuracy of the companys reports and
accounts. The question of the reorganiza-
ton of the property on a safe and perm
anent basis has been receiving the earnest
attention of the committee and the ne
gotiations with the London and Amster-
dam committees justify the belief that a
plan of reorganization can certainly be
submitted for the approval Of the security
holders within a few months.
