DISCOVERS A FLAW. +
Delegate Throckmorton Thinks
& He Has Found a Few Mistakes.

Delegate ,rhrockmorton. Of Henrico. Is
much wrought up over aGdiscovery ne
made recently In tbs records OF the late
Legislature. Mr. Throcknorton's atten-
ton was called to an innocent looking
bill, approved March 14th by the Cover
nor. whose purpose was to,nmend section
3O59 of the Code as to the court terms OF
the Circuit Court Of tho sixteenth Dis
trict. But little study convinced the
Legislator that the amendment was more
far -renching and concerned his own dis
trict and consequently HenricO county
and Richmond.
For example, the term OF tho Herlco
Circuit Court is changed from the first
Monday In January, April, July and Ccto-
her to the first Tuesdny In March and
June and the second Tuesday In Septem-
Der and December. What Is more the
term Of. the Richmond Circuit Court Is
changed to the first Monday In April and
first Monday in June.
Further examination elicited the fact
4 that, despite the restrictive title OF the
bill, Ave new circuits we're provided for.t
all in the one bill This, Mr.. Throck-
morton claims. Is Unconstitutional. being
n vlolatnon Of the reading Of article !,
section 50, Of the Constitution. which
says that no law shall embrace more
than one object, which shall be expressed
in It's title; nor shall any law be revived
or amended with reference to Its title,
but the act revived or the section amend
ed shall be rc-enacted and published at
length"
Mr.. Throckmorton Is much pcrplexed
by Sthe whole affair, and sees trouble
ahead. He Is at a loss about the out
come but is optimistic OF tho end of the
matter Should the amendntory bill
Senate bill No. 4o4-bo declared uncon-
stltutlonal, It Is hard to say what the
cffect.is going to be.

SCHOOL BOARD HOLDS
IMPORTANT NEE TING
Will Elect Superintendent for
Portsmouth and Alexandria and
Adjust Census Reports.

The State Board of Education viii meet
in this city Tonight, Its session prob
ably continuing over tomorrow, as there
is much to be done, with a heavy volume
of routine business
One Of tho most important matters to
occupy its attention Is the election Of
school superintendent for the city Of
Portsmouth and the county Of Alexandria.
In both Of these cases the Senate, refused
to ratlfy tho original appointments OF
the former board. Three men arc now
after the Portsmouth superintendency--
Mr. Leon Codd, principal Of one of the
Portsmouth schools; MIR. John C5Ashton,
the former superintendent. and Mr. Win
ston Parrish, o University of Virginia
man, who8ls now practicing law. Two
candidates have appeared IN the field
for the Alexandria supcrintendency--Nr
J. Il. Clements. the former superinten-
dent, and Mr.. Basil Boteler. lawyer.
Another matter to be attended to Is
the adjustment of the school censuses of
Dickinson county and OF Fairfield dis
trict of Henrico county In both of which
there was much discrepancy In the orig
inal returns.
A new census was ordered, and it is
now believed that the figures will be salts
factorily adjusted.
The board will also consider tho adj
visibility OF tappiying the Ould bill for
high school work. This measure carries
a $4,000 appropriation. under which pro-
vision is made for increasing salaries and
for higher standard OF work. The mat
