ToRRANcE's OFFER DECLINED


New Orleans, La, Sept. 12.-Thc
Confederate veterans of New Orleans
Wednesday night refused the pro-
fered aid of General Torrance, com
mander Of the G.. A. r. They declined
with thanks, the money to build a
home for INDECENT Confederate sol.
diers in Alabama. The Army of the
Tennessee adopted resolutions re-
ferring to General Torrance's offer in
the kindest terms, declaring that he
possesses 4 noble heart, full OF broth
erly love-" but the resolution says, in
part:
I'VE cannot accept even this gener.
ously proffered assistance from any
source save from our own people. IT
is the duty of the south and the south
alone, to provide for Confederate sol
diers who may need assistance. To
permit others to do that duty would,
in our judgment, be both unbecoming
and wrong to the southern people"

5000 Limitation In
Roger [ CIV.
BILL PASSED THAT BODY.
1t Corrects Roger Act-lf 1t Passes
= House All Cases, Without Regard
to Amount, Can Go to Supreme
Court on Error.

Lolu-nbus, Sept 1.-THE senate
yesterday morning passed the Roger
bill, introduced at the beginning OF
the special session, to correct the
Roger act passed last winter at the
regular session, the effect OF which
was to deprive the supreme court OF
Jurisdiction over 95 per cent Of the
former business, while it was the au-
thor's intention to widen the scope OF
its Jurisdiction by removing the $500
property limitation. The bill passed
yesterday removes, the property lims.
tatioE. An amendment to restore the
$500 limitation, or rather restore the
law as it existed before the mistake
Of last winter was made, was offered
by Senator Hose, but was voted down
The action taken by the senate was
contrary to the wishes of Governor
Nash, who wanted the $500 property
limitation retained. If the house
makes this bill a law all cases, with.
out regard to the amount involved,
can be taken to the supreme court on
error The code bill was not consid.
cred at all.
Government For Villages.
The chief arguments made before
the house code committee yesterday
afternoon related to the proposed
form of government for villages
There has been a strong protest from
the villages of the state against the
Nash code on the ground that the
form of government provided in It
would be too cumbersome and expen
sive. There is a strong sentiment
among the members OF the house in
favor Of allowing the existing laws.
for the government Of villages to-
stand, and many are confident this
will be done. Inc senate, sitting IL
committee Of the whole, has discussed.
and approved about half Of the Nash
code bill and has made no radica
change.
Dr. Washington GLADDEN. addressed
the code committee OF the house last
night He opposed the board system
of government for cities and suggest,
ed that instead general statute be.
enacted providing for legislative, ex
ecutive and judicial departments,
leaving the details Of the municipal
organization to be worked out BY
charter conventions in the various
cities. He favored a provision for
municipal ownership of street rail-
ways, declaring his belief that mu.
nicipal ownership would prevail at no
distant day.

A mass meeting will be held IN
Nelson county for the purpose OF
getting the sentiment of the Demo
cratic party of that county as 10
submitting or proclaimiDg the new
Constitution. The meeting is to be
held at the suggestion of the mem
Der of the Constitutional Convention
from that county, and will decide
whether he is bound by the action OF
the Norfolk convention to vote for
submission or will be permitted WREN
the Constitutional Convention meets
again to vote as he thinks best in the
interest of the people of the State.
The conclusion, at which the Demo
Gratis of Nelson will arrive in the
matter will be probably, to release
their delegate from all pledges, but
whatever it may be, they will al
least have the satisfaction OF know
ing that the opportunity was pre-
sented to them of deciding for them
selves, without interference on the
part of those who would defeat the
Constitution, whatever its merits
might be because a Democratic
measure, or of that other class which
believes that no Constitution is
good one unless made in the interest
of corporations. They have unN
doubtedly taken step in the right
direction and ope worthy OF imita-
ton by the Democrats in other coun-
ties of the State.

The assurances are, according to
the latest advices, that the Demo
Gratis of the country are getting TO-
gether in a way that means victory
for the party in the future. The
Democratic newspapers OF the coun-

the situation, but the leaders of the
party, and among them Mr.. Rich
ardson, the Democratic leader in the
House of Representatives agrees with
them. He is quoted in a late inter
view as saying: THE Democratic
party is now as solid and as agrees
i've as it ever has been. We are going
to carry the next House by a hand
some majority. That victory, which
is anticipated here on every hand,
will simply pave the way for a Dem
ocratic victory in the ensuing presi-
Dental campaign. No; l repeat,
there is no division among the Demo
Gratis. Party men needn't be crying

The death of General Wade Hamp

The death of General Wade Hamp-
ton is lamented by the people of the
whole South and no tribute can be
paid him which will not fall short of
the praise due him. He was great in
all the walks of life and not only so
recognized in the South, which he
has served so long and well, but by
the people of the whole country. AS
a soldier he will have a place in his
tory along with Lee and Jackson and
his name as a statesman is as imper-
ishable as that of the great Calhoun
OF his native State. The people not
only of the South but of the whole
country honor themselves in Tever-
ing the memory of such man.
