Judge Peek's Successor.
Communicated
Hampton. Va. Januar,

Hampton, Va, January II. 1896.
Regarding the election OF a judge 10
fill the position recently made vacant by
the death OF Judge Peek. IL is reason
able TO suppose that such election
will be a matter Of serious Importance
TO the citizens Of Elizabeth City and
Warwick counties. There are three can
didates for the position. | unhesitating
ly say that OF these three Major Baker
=. Lee Is the one who should be chosen
by the Legislature. and who would be
most acceptable 10 the people OF this
community. Without stopping to dis
cuss Major Lees high qualifications
and his great fitness for the Office. ] shall
simply say that no possible comparison
in any respect can be made to his preju
dice between hin and the other candi-
dates for the judgeship. As an evidence
OF the wishes of the people OF this CON-
munty as to Judge Peek's successor.
three fourihs of the taxable interests
represented by the signers OF Major Lees
petition for the appointment. Who are
better qualified TO know OF a mans quali-
fications for Judge than the members
OF the bar? OF the seven white mem
bers OF the bar OF Hampton. five have
signed the petition Of Major Lee. These
facts speak for themselves. ,I .-.
IL ~ true that the County Democratic
Committee endorsed another candidate.
This endorsement was not unanimous.
Two of the members OF this committee
OF six had themselves been candidates
for the nomination for the Legislature
whom Major Lee had defeated. The
great confidence and respect reposed by
the citizens of this county In Major Lee
is shown by the fact that, although
another candidate from this county WIS
extremely active In his efforts to secure
the nomination for the Legislature last
fall, yet Major Lee secured all but one
OF the fifteen delegates for the nomi-
nation. When the election was held prac-
ticalk all OF the votes cast in the county
were for Lee. He has devoted his life
TO the Interests OF the Democratic party.
In view OF all these facts. II Is clear
that 1t is the duty OF the Legislature to
elect Major Lee Judge OF Elizabeth City
and Warwick counties.
Yours truly, DEMOCRAT.

BOND BID SITUATION.
No Change or Modification in Terms Of

CONGESTION IN MONEY MARKET.
The Fear OF This That Exists In

Thing.

WASHINGTON, January N-So change
or modification In the circular issued by
Secretary Carlisle inviting bids for sioo-
C00.ooO 4 per cent. 9o-yesr bonds on
per cent basis IL contemplated at the
Treasury Department Already bids have
been received under this circular. which
would be vitiated by any change now
made. and which would work hardship
on those already having bid. Under The
circular. bidders have forty days within
which to complete payment for bonds.
the bids for which are accepted by the
Treasury. and should there be. as feared
in some quarters. a congestion In the
money market. because OF the large
amount withdrawn from banks and other
repositories with which to pay for the
bonds. It is understood here that the Sec
retary of the Treasury will use his dis
crotion, according to circumstances. in
exacting payment within the time spsci-
fed In the circular.
II is not the desire OF the administration
to bring about congestion In the money
market. and should 1t appear to the
Secretary of the Treasury that such con-
gestion would result from his exactins
literal compliance with the terms OF the
circular as to payment. he will 50 regu-
late the payments and extend the time.
as. in his discretion, the circumstances OF
the case demand.
Considerable interchange OF Views on
this point in quiet kind OF way. has
been going on for the past few days be-
tween Treasury officials charged With the
responsibility of perfectng the details OF
the bond payments.
| 1t is readily recognized that there are
two View points Of the situation--vil.,
that OF the Treasury and that OF the
bidders from whom the gold is TO be re-
ceived. The object of the Treasury -
| to do the best they can for the govern
ment, the object of the bankers and
bidders Is to get the bonds on the best
terms possible for themselves. Ii IL re-
cognized that most OF the gold received
/ for the bonds must come ost OF the banks
of the country, and principally out or
| New York.
The effect of this would be to reduce
| the gold-holdngs OF the banks, and ne
| cesstate the substitution Of some other
| form OF coin or paper currency for the
! reserve thus withdrawn. This would
| naturally produce congestion In the
money-market, and the Secretary or
the Treasury. knowing this. will. az
above stated. exercise his discretion in
the premises. alike for the benefit OF the
| Treasury and the banking community at
large.
The substance of these assurances has
been communicated in various letters
| I'll txrtfk a Gf Uaak fhs
| Treasury Department 10 bankers and
others throughout the country.
While no promise is given that the pay
ments for the bonds will not be required

Secretary has stated that he beirg the
! Judge OF the circumstances. WIFI exercise
his discretion in the matter ~ prevent.
as far as he can. any further Injurious
contraction in the currency.

OF Counting Quorum

WASHINGTON, ID. C.. January H.
The situation with respect to changing
the rules of the House Is enshrouded IN
some uncertainty. because OF the faiIure
of action upon the proposition for count
ing a quorum which was suggested In tne
Fifty-nrst Congress by Randolph Iucher'
and has been adopted I'm the present con-
gress by the Committee on Rules.
General Henderson. who has charge OF
the report of the Committee on huies'
said to-day: THE House, at the begin
ming of the session. adopted the rules or
the Fifty-first Congress Last week the
Committee on Rules reported, recommenu-
ing some changes, all of which were
adopted save one, relating to the count
ing OF a quorum. There was some OBJ
lection to this proposed change BY several
members. who feared that It's adoption
would result in delay and interruption at
the Friday-night sessions, and when the
House was acting under unanimous con-
sent. when the point Of no quorum might
be made. SO we passed that over for
the present. We can call IL up at any
time but practically the rules have been
disposed OF.
There is no present necessity for the
Randolph Tucker rule, but the Speaker
and his associates in the committee
thought it had best be Incorporated In the
Code at this time. when 1t could be done
with the least ground for the criticism
that il was intended to secure partisan
advantage

authorized the public buldings) there
were upon the books of this department
appropriations for les buildings. all OF
which were I'm various stages of construc-
tion. That same Congress authorized the
construction OF seventy additional build
ings. and provided for the extension OF
several marine hospitals 1T an aggregate
limit Of cost OF si2.9l6ss0.
THE Fifty-second and Fifty-third Con-
crosses authorized altogether the con-
structlon of twelve additional public build
ings and improvements TO five marine
hospitals and other structures. at a limit
OF cost OF s5Si3,OoO. making an aggregate
of ninety -four buildings authorized to be
constructed and improved ar a cost OF
SIS 759. $50 which. In addition TO the l63
buildings above referred to, make a total
of 257 buildings upon which operations
have been going on since December, 1883,
of which number there are at this time
twenty-five buildings for which no draw
ings have been prepared. 1t has been the
general practice of the department to
begin work upon the various public build
inss in the order of their authorization by
Congress.
Notwithstanding the large number OF
pubI;c buildings authorized by Congress
no increase in the force of the office Of
tho Sunerylsing Architect has been pro-
y,ded for. although a specific request 10
the Committee on Appropriations OF
the House OF Representatives was maze
by this department on January =, ISo'
that the amount allotted for that office
for the fiscal year ending June So' loso'
should be increased from 10000 to $780,
90 the reason given being that such an
increase was necessary in order to enable
the department TO employ sufficient
technical force to bring the work up to
date. This request, however, was not
complied with. and only the usual al
lowance OF 10000 was made.
"Since the 9th OF March. 1898, this de-
partrnent has made every effort possible,
with the limited appropriation ALLOW ed
by Congress for the support OF the ofiics
OF the Supervising Architect, 10 expedite
the preparation of drawings and specin-
cations for the various public buildings
under its control, and TO take up new
work as rapidly as the force would permit.
and TO proceed with the construction OIL
buildings with all possible expedition.
.'The sum of $4,000. which the Secretary
is authorized by Congress TO use during

designs. plans specifications. and draw
ings for public buildings, does not exceed
the amount Of the usual charges OF a
competent architect for the preparation
OF designs. plans. and specifications, and
superintending the construction Of single
public building OF the first class. and II
must be evident therefore, that the office
| Of Supervising Architect must be relieved
from very considerable part OF the
labor noy imposed upon 1t, or adequate
provision must be made for the pay OF
