The .Bon sense French Glasses

recently organized by Professor l.. y.
Hassleff. have proved exceedingly popu-
lar in Richmond, and many ladies and
gentlemen have ayailed themselves OF
tn opportunity TO familiarlze themselves
with me sonorous language. The Pro-
fessor, in a siX-weeks' course, endeavors
TO give his students an excellent general
idea OF the fundamental principles OF tho
language, though he does IT In a manner
which relieves the pupil from the
drudgery usually incident TO such work.
The vocabularies and expressions he uses
are designed to be of practical use TO
persons travelling abroad, and II is truly
astonishing how much benefit may be
thus derived from the work of a. month
and a half. Many of Professor Hasrleifs )
pupils who have traveied abroad Will
testify to his ability and worth as a
teacher. In Iact, they are invariably sur
prised to find how much they do know
when they essay TO talk with the native
Frenchman. The course. though highly
instructive. is. as stated above. an easy
one TO take, for Professor Hassleff. by
long years OF thought and study. has
mlnimized the difficulties and arranged
the work in most enticing form.

OF the Professor that he will deliver an
other course OF six weeks. In short

SUGAR CASE.
The House Judiciary Committee Thinks
the Matter Highly Important.
RAY SUBSTITUTE TO DE REPORTED
MIR. Carlisle. Secretary of the Trea-
sury. on the Position of Comp
troIier Bowler and In Explanation
of His Action.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. January a.
The Judiciary Committee this morning
considered the Boatner resolution. which
OF the Treasury in refusing to counter
sign the warrants in payment of the
money appropriated for the sugar bounty.
so far as earned. and directing the
Judiciary Committee to report to the
House whether this action was justified
under the provisions of any statute.
and whether the power could be
lodged in any executive officer to sus-
pend the payment of any money APP
proprIated. on the ground that the law
or appropriation IS unconstitutional; also
what action should be taken by Con-
gress to vindicate its authority. A sub
stitute prepared by Mr.. Ray, of New
York. was adopted which gives the
judiciary Committee authority TO inquire
as to the condition of the law on the
subject of the right of the executive
officers of the government. in the seve-
raj departments thereof. to refuse to
enforce, acknowledge, or comply with
any provisions of any act of the Con-
gress OF the United States on the
ground of its alleged unconstitutionality
or for other reasons, and to report to
the House by bill or otherwise.
The report written by Mr.. Ray to
accompany his substitute. which the COM
mittee ordered to be favorably report
ed. characterizes the question at issue
as one of great Importance 1t says
that If the power exists certain exc
cutive officers may set at defiance the
laws Of Congress. approved by the chief
executive officer of the nation.
On the other hand. II might be urged
that the power should rest with these
officers to stay, pending a judicial deter
m!nation in the courts. the execution of a
law OF Congress Drima facie valid and
constitutional A wide difference OF
opinion exists as to what the law is
and what it ought to be.
The report closes with the declaration
that without expressing any opinion as
TO the law. the judiciary Committee be-
l.eves that it should be looked into, and
that such investigation might suggest
proper legislation upon the subject The
committee does not deem IL wise or
proper that the investigation shall be
directed 10 any particular officer, act, or
department.
Mr.. Ray to-day received a letter from
Secretary Carlisle. under date of the 10Th
instant. in which he replies at length
10 Mr. Rays request for information
whether there Is precedent or authority
on the part of the Comptroller for de-
Ginning TO pay the bounty.
The Secretary shows the cases in con-
nection with which the Comptroller in
vestigated the subject. and says the law
was at least doubtful. and he deemed
it his duty. without allowing or disal-
lowing the claim. to have the question
referred to the Court OF Claims for
adjudication. which the Secretary. after
nearing written and oral arguments upon
the question, agreed 10.

SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATION.
The "YaIIer Dog" Vow Without
Friends-Investign

COLUMBIA s. c., January H.
"YaIer Dogs and more Investigations
were the order of the day in the House
of Representatives to-day.
Mr.. l.. j. Williams is still after the
higher educational institutions with a
sharp stick, and has introduced a con-
current resolution providing for an In
vestigation committee to look into the
MANAGEMENT and affairs of each OF them.
In urging the adoption OF the resolu-
ton he made statement TO the House.
in which he made some pointed REFER
ences to the condition of affairs at the
Winthrop Normal College and the man
agement of its finances by Its Board or
Trustees. He is also after those men,
bers OF the House who are retaining
their seats, though holding other po-
sitons under the State Government He
has offered a concurrent resolution in
regard to this matter.
The General Assembly seems TO be
in a notion to Investigate nearly every
thing in connection with the State
Government now, no doubt with a view
TO starting out under the new Consti-
tuition with all light turned on.
The committee charged with investi-
eating the condition of affairs at the
State prison is now at work.
The investigation matter did not. how
ever. come up till the session was about
ending. Up to that time the "yalier
dog had been claiming the attention
OF the House. II was the first dog
day Of the session. and the poor
mans friend and companion" found him
self for the first time unable to whip
out and stampede his enemies They
drove him into a corner, and he could

waved proudly in the air. When they
got through with him the handwriting
on the wall said that he must find
himself a home and keep II. ceasing TO
be a tramp, or else make the vain
endeavor 10 subsist on diet OF leaden

As the State has not yet established
a mad-hOuse for CANNES losing their

was also decided that when the "yaller
dog" gives signs Of mental decay he must
forthwith be executed.

VERDICT AGAINST BLACkLIsTING
Damages from Florida Railroad
Awarded "a Conductor.

Awarded "a CONDUCTOR
JACKSONVILLE. FLA, January n
In the United States Circuit Court to-day
verdict for sl,75O was rendered against
The Florida East Coast railroad Uhe
Flagler SYSTEM. for blacklisting w. E.
Willets.
Ten months ago, Willets, who is a citl-
zen Of Greenfield. Ind, was conductor
on the East-COast railroad. Being oiiered
a better-paying position on the South
Florida railroad. he left the East-Coast
road on two-days' notice. Wilets went
10 work on the South Florida railroad,
and in three days was discharged. no
cause being assigned. Wilets inquired
into the matter and learned that he was
discharged because Captain Goff. Of the
Etst-COast road, had sent a circular let
ter 10 the officials Of other Florida rail-
roads asking that Willets be not en-
ployed. No charge was made that Willets
was incompetent, or had failed TO give
satisfaction to the East-COast road. 1t
was a simple request that he be black
listed.
Since the letter was written Willets
has applied for work 10 every railroad
in Florida. but in vain. In consequence,
he brought suit against the East-Coast
railway for $4,000. which resulted to-day
as stated above.
on the trial. the attorneys for the road
urged that the writing Of the b.acklsting
letter was Superintendent Goffs personal
act. and that the corporation should not
be held responsible.
The Court. however, did not view the
matter in this light. holding that Goff
was the corporations agent, and that 1t
was responsible for his acts.
Major Alexander St Clair Abrams
represented the plaintiff. and he says the
result VIII be a death-blow TO the black
listing system in Florida. This is said to
be the first case of the kind in which a
verdict has been secured against a rail-
road company for blacklisting a man.

BILE degree OF disappointing character
In the dry-goods market There were so
many inquiries the preceding week after
staple cotton from various directions that
sellers not naturally looked forward to
an actual expansion OF both as the out
come
The demand has again come forward
for limited quantities OF both plain and
coarse coiored cottons. and has been
readily met by sellers. except at the
lowest limits. which have been so FAR
reported. on these the market shows
some degree OF steadiness, as such prices
have reached a point where sellers are
forced to adopt a firmer attitude to avoid
actual loss on cost of production.
In the woollen-goods department the de-
mand has been somewhat less confined,
fair sales OF fine grade. fancy worsteds
being reported, and the price situation
Is unaltered. The tone at the close is dull
all around. but the strength developed to-
day In the cotton market is a favorable
feature in cotton goods.
