Peace in the same strain
AT 1880 O'Clock the doors were sudden
! ly thrown open, and there was n rush
| OF Ponulists through the rotunda in the
nan OF the lower house, of which they
took possession. McCaskey headed the
rush. and in few moments began an
address to the bolters who were said to
number twenty, among them being
llouGes, Abernathy. Parker. Babbitt,
White, Ncwsom, Hardison and RoIn-
tree. At the moment when the bolt oc-
Cured Senator Butler and Congressman
SKINNER were in Il restaurant near the
Capitol at the same table.
Butler was informed of the bolt and
asked II he was going to the caucus. He
replied that he was not. His face was
wreathed I'm smiles. He had expressed
himself early in the evening as conf
dent of Pritchard's defeat
Following is Il copy OF protest filed
by members of the Legislature who to-
night bolted the caucus:
The following members of the Senate
ana House of Representatives, in con-
ference assembled. desire to say by
resolution that we enter our solemn
protest against the high-handed method
or gag rule perpetrated upon us by a
majority of the Populist caucus tonight.
and after having listened on our part
with great patience To the views OF the
majority faction, according them one
ana two hours for each speaker, without
protest or murmuring, when we asked to
nave time to discuss our side of the uues-
tion. we were unceremoniousiy told by
the majority faction that we could have.
only ten minutes each: that after we
had appealed 10 our leaders and mem
bers of the majority faction to give us
time for free and fair discussion of the
senatorial question and time to hear
from our constituents upon this I,nro,
tant question. they absolutely refused to
agree 10 consider at any other time. and
so cut off discussion by unfair and fili-
clustering tactics.
Resolved First. that we inform our
brthren who compose the other faction
that when they desire the co-operation
OF this faction they must assure us by
resolution that they are willing to ac-
cord to us free and fair discussion at
some future time, to be agreed upon
by both factions: that then, and not un-
til then, will we consent to again sit
together.

ON an occasion when the character
and achievements of Andrew Jackson
are commemorated, the old landmarks
or Democratic faith should be distinctly
pointed out. At such time it should
be impressively taught that Democracy
Is not disorder; that its regard for popu-
lar rights does not mean the care of only
n portion of our people: that its LOYALTY
to the constitution and the law does not
mean petulant challenge of the duty of
civic obedience; that Its aggres siveness
does not mean class hatred and sectional
vtuperation, and that Its success should
never mean mere partisan triumph at
the sacrifice of principle and patriotism.
Yours very truly

COIORED DRIVER MISSING.

Wednesday Before thrisfiuns.

The family and friends of s. Burgess.
a we'll known colored driver are exceed
ingiy anxious, concerning his safety. He
has not been seen since "Wednesday. the
23d ultimo.. and 1t is feared that he has
been drowned.
Burgess was for q long time porter
for Mr.. j. r.. Lowe, at his grocery on
CRANKY street, but he left HIS old en-
pioyer several months ago. and secured
place with a transfer company as n
driver. He was last seen in McHugh's
liquor house on Plume street. He had
no;, however, been drinking. and as he
bore the reputation of being a sober
and industrious fellow ii is improbable
that his disappearance was caused by
an accident To him while under the in
nuence of liquor.
1t is feared that in attempting to walk
along narrow space between the close
ly packed bales of cotton at McCul-
lough's dock and the edge OF the wharf.
he made mis-step and fell overheard
Nothing has been seen of the body and
the mans disappearance remains a mys-
terry still.
He was married. and his wife. who
lives in this city, is deeply concerned for
his welfare.
