Capt. John S. Wise, of New York,

Capt. John S. Wise, of New York,
was in Richmond yesterday and talked
of the manner in which he proposes to
fight the franchise clause Of the new
constitution in the federal courts. He
proposes, he says, to ask for man.
damus to prevent the counting of the
votes cast at the recent congressional
election in this State. Mr.. Wise seems
to rely upon the fact that when Virginia
was admitted into the union in 1869 it
was upon the condition that none of her
voters should be distranchised except un-
der the provisions of the Underwood
constitution. He does not believe that
bis opponents can answer this contention.

THE German Reichstag has adopted
the paragraph of the new tariff bill au-
thorizing the government to retaliate on
any country discriminating against Ger
man goods. The Agrarians openly
affirmed that it was necessary to arm the
government with weapons for reprisal,
especially against the United States Gus
toms practices. 1t is believed that if the
United States does not soon reduce its
tariff duties other countries will fol-
low the example of Germany and the
effect of shutting out American goods
from foreign markets can be easily con-
iectured.

AN EMPHATIC blow from President
Roosevelt is pending for the advocates
of the 'qily-white' republican organi'
cation in the South, as well as to the
sentiment Of the white people OF this
section. One of the first nominations to
be sent to the Senate by the President
when Congress convenes Aext month,
will be that of w. ID. 'Crum, colored, to
be collector of the port at Charleston, ;.
G. By this distinct recognition OF the
political rights of the colored race IN the
port where was fired the first gun of the
civil war the republican administration
purposes to put beyond all chance OF
dispute or misunderstanding its policy
in this regard. The appointment will
be in direct conflict with the expressed
wishes of the white people OF the entire
State of South Carolina, but to their pro-
test Mr. Roosevelt will turn deaf ear
and il is said that no better method
could be adopted to carry encourage
ment to the colored race, both North and
South. as to the ''fidelity' of the repub-
lican party to its interests and to the pro-
lection of its political rights. The
President wants the colored vote of the
North and to secure that vote the feel
ings of the southern people, which he
regards as but prejudice, will not be
taken into consideration.

HOUSE.

The House adopted, without division,
a substitute to the steering committee
plan, which created a wrangle the day
before. Mr. Edwards was the originator
of the substitute, which provides that
the work be apportioned among the
regular committees of the two bodies by
the chairs without the aid of steering
committee. The substitute provides for
the assignment of the different articles
of the new constitution to the two vari-
Gus standing committees of the two
houses. Under the substitute adopted,
and which the Senate concurred in, the
most important one in the new instru-
ment, was referred to the standing COM
mittees on railroads and on general laws.
The most interesting fight was on the
reference of this article of the constitu-
ton. The work will now be mapped out
and sent to the committee as soon as
possible under the resolution adopted,
the presiding officers Of the two bodies
having nothing to do with the question
of referring the different articles.
Mr.. Cabel, on behalf Of his colleagues,
presented Mr.. w. II. Gravely, of Henry,
with case of handsome silyerware as
bridal present from his colleagues, the
popular member having been recently
married.
DR.. E. P. Mclean, of Mecklenburg,
who voluntarily retired from the House,
relinquished his seat in that body last
summer rather than take and subscribe
to the oath required under the terms of
the new constitution of members of the
General Assembly, has not appeared
among the returning members. He is
not expected to contest his right to sit as
member, and if, after he has been
given time to accept membership on the
prescribed terms he does, not do so, it is
expected that the seat will be formally
declared vacant and a special election
ordered to fill the vacancy. DIR. Nc
Lean is now holding position in the
office OF the u. 5. revenue collector in
this city. None of the other members
who objected to the oath, but who took
it with unimportant reservations, will be
disturbed in his right TO sit as member.

The following is a quotation from
a Sanskirt text dealing with the
creation of woman, and is taken
from The Mystic Rose: A Study o;
Primitive Marriage" by Ernest
Crawley, NJ. A.:
In the beginning, when Twashtri
came to the creation of Woman, he
found that he had exhausted his
materials in the making Of Man,
and that no solid elements were
left. In this dilemma, after pro-
found meditation, he did as follows:
He took the rotundity of the moon,
and the curves of creepers, and the
clinging of tendrils. and the tremb-
ling of grass, and The slenderness of
the reed, aha the loom Of flowers,
and the lightness of leaves, and the
tapering of the elephants trunk,
and the glances of deer, and the
clustering Of rows of bees, and the
joyous gaiety of sunbeams, and the
weeping of clouds. and the fickle-
ness of the winds, and the timidity
of the hare, and the vanity of the
peacock, and the softness of the
parrots bosom, and the hardness Of
adamant, and the sweetness of hon
ey, and the cruelty Of the tiger, and
the warm glow Of fire, and the
coldness of snow, and the chatter
ing of jays, and the cooling of the
kokila, and the hypocricy of the
crane, and the fidelity of the cha
ktawaka, and compounding all
these together, he made Woman
and gave her to Man.
But, after one week, Man came
to him and said: Lord: this crea-
ture that you have given me- makes
my life miserable She chatters in
cessantly and leases me beyond en-
dnrance, never leaving me alone;
and she requires incessant attention
and takes all my time up, and cries
about nothing, and is always idle,
and so l have come to give her
back again, as cannot live with
her "
So Twastn said: Every we'll" and
he took her back.
Then, after another week, Man
came again and said to him: Lord
I find that my life is very lonely
since gave you back that creature.
remember how she used to dance
and sing to me- and look at me out
of the corner of her eye, aud play
with me and cling to me; and her
laughter was music and she was
beautiful to look at and soft to
touch; so give her back to me
again"
So Twashtri said: Very well,"
and gave her back again.
Then after only three days, Man
came back to him again and said:
Lord I know not how it is but, af-
5er all, l have come to the conclu
