BY THE PEOPLE.

The senate elections committee has re-
ported favorably the joint resolutions
for an amendment to the constitution
providing for the election Of senators by
direct vote of the people. The report
said the committee had studied the mat
ter with a proper appreciation of its
gravity, the objections to the proposed
change being fully considered. The re.
port concludes:
1.-THE tendency of public opinion is to
discredit the sen ta. and depreciate its
dignity and it's powers. If there is any
cause for this it should be removed. The
adoption Of the amendment will remove
the prejudice now existing, which il
rapidly becoming dangerously fastened
on the public mind; will dissipate al
cause, excuse and pretext for unjust
criticism, an will tend to elevate the
cha act ,, advance he dignity and in
crease the usefulness of the senate"
This is strong reason for changing
the method of electing our senator's. The
people are behind this movement, and
the change will come.

For Joint Debates Between Hon. Chas. r.
Crisp and Secretary Smith.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Judge Crisp
and Secretary Hoke Smith, like two law
yers on opposing sides of case, rather
than opposing political joint debaters,
met this morning at the interior depart
ment and talked for something like an
hour and half over the details of their
forthcoming joint discussion.
Both were seemingly in good fettle and
anxious for the fun to begin. The az
pointments they agreed upon this morn
ing were as follows:
Augusta, March 31st, at night.
Atlanta, April End, al night.
Newman, April 7th, in the day.
Rome, April 9Th, in the day.
Lexington, April 10th, in the day.
Naycross, April 18th, in the day.
Albany, April 18th, in the day.
There were no mutual friends necessary
on either side to settle the details, and
there will be none. Each man will at.
tend to his own case and there will be
no trouble in agreeing on the details of
time of opening. concluding, etc., as it
is the avoWed purpose of both of the
gentlemen to present only arguments
and in the best and fairest way to their
audiences.

A Woman Admits That She swore Falsely
Against Him.
ATLANTA, March 19.-Governor At
kinson to-day granted pardon to Sim
Dean, a young white man sent to the
penitentiary three years ago from Nc
Duffie county to serve term of seven
years for assaulting Padey Dorsey, the
daughter of neigbboring family.
The case is particularly interesting
from the fact that now, after the young
man has served nearly half of the term
imposed upon him by the court for the
crime of which he was convicted, the
girl, who was the sole witness against
him, comes forward and admits that ne
is innocent. She sent him to the peni-
Tertiary, she confesses, to save her char
acter, but during the years he has been
serving in chains she has fallen to the
dep tbs of disgrace instead of being saved
by sacrificing an innocent mans rep
utation and liberty.
At the time of the trial Dean was
shown to have been of exemplary char
acter, but that did not weigh against the
girls word. Recently the members of
the girls family declared that they did
not believe Dean was guilty and move
ment to secure his pardon was then be-
gun. When Padey Dorsey was APP
preached she confessed, and the case was
at once placed in the governors hands,
with the recommendation of all the
court officials and many others who
knew the facts and were anxious to see
Dean liberated,

Troops in Kentuckr,a oepitol.

The Kentucky legislature deadlock
reached the point where the republican
governor felt called upon to order out
the militia to preserve the peace. Mon
day and Tuesday were days of martial
l.w at the state capitol, and members of
the legislature and others who were al
lowed to enter the state house had TO
walk between a line of soldiers in open
rank with fixed bayonets. Disgraceful
scenes were enacted. When the house
met the chaplain refused to offer the
usual opening prayer, saying that he
would not iishonor God while Kentucky
was being dishon red. Democratic
members of the Legislature and the cit
liens of Frankfort generally were high
ly indignant at the action of the govern
or in calling out the militia, and mass
meetings were held for the purpose of
denouncing the outrage. The legisla-
ture, upon the motion of member, adj

with general approval throughout the

that means of ascertaining the choice of

adopted. The primary is the safest and
surest plan of bringing about full express
sion of opinion and preserving harmony
and unity in the party. Throughout the
history of all republics an appeal to the
people has always been considered the
final arbitrament, and there can be
no reasonable objection to free and un-
feStered expression of the people as to
tthAeir choice 81 men Ia this instance. The
NEWS is in favor of fair, free and open
expression of the democratic voters, and
is willing to ABIDE by the decision.
