SLEMP ELECTED
Ninth District Stays Republican By
1900.
THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION
Remains Nine Democrats, One Republican,
State Democratic by About 10000.

The result Of the Congress. ional election
i'm Virginia shows that the State has
gone Democratic. The Republicans sue
ceeded in retaining the Ninth district in
spite of the hopes and work of the Dem
ocrats To wreSts victory from them and
send solid delegation To the next Con
gress. General apathy throughout the
state was apparent, except in the Ninth
district. The Democratic plurality in
the State Will probably exceed 10000.
DEMOCRATIC GAINS.
The Ninth district was the real fight
ing ground Of the two parties The
split in the Republican ranks in shat dis
trict had imbued the Democrats with
great hope. There seemed to be a real
chance that Bruce. the Democratic nom
inee. would win Slemp, however, the
Republican candidate. succeeded in carry
ing the district, but bv u greatly de-
creased majority The Democrats made
substantial gains throughout the dis
trict Slemp' plurality is about 1000.
In the Fifth district, the only other dis
trict in the State where there was any
real fight. Judge L. W. Saunders, OF
Franklin. the Democratic nominee, won
over J. W simmons, of Martinsvillc, 10y
the small plurality Of GOO.
In the other districts there was no real
opposition. The Republicans had put
up candidates in all districts except the
Fourth. but this was only for the pur-
pose of holding the party together.
The Republicans had up two candi-
dates in the Third district. Johnson, a
negro, opposing Hanson, the "lly-white
nominee. Hanson came out ahead OF
Johnson. bur Lamb WAS elected by a
plurality of I 600

MARLBoRoUGH AND CAsTELLANE.

II the mournful spectacle OF the
martial troubles of the Duke and
Duchess OF Marlborough and the
Count and Countess Boni Castellane
does not prove timely warning to
the American girl who contemplateS
marriage with a titled foreigner, then
we are much mistaken and there
would seem no use in hosting the
danger signals hereafter Those two
noblemen, one English and the other
French, have proved what they are
in record time. The noble duke i'll
treats his wife because she has the
misfortune TO be slightly deaf and
the spendthrift count strikes his be
cause she refuses him money. OF
course these despicable bargains be-
tween American women aud foreign
ers are bound to turn out badly.
That is in the nature OF things, and
the average American feels very much
like bringing the point of his shoe
into play just as soon as these for
tune seekers. the daffer little counts
and dukes, with plentitude OF titles
and a dearth of dollars, land on these
shores. There are among our own
people, however, sad as it may seem
certain toadies WHO welcome and fete
these creatures, who hand them their
daughters very much in the same
manner that an Eastern slave dealer
barriers his fair captive, and these
American girls. too weak to resist the
shameful bargain or too dazzled 10y
the glamour OF a title, submit TO the
sealing OF the compact, and then
lead lives OF gilded misery until the
divorce courts relieve them OF the
shackles. Few of our Southern girls
have been the victims OF these Euro
peans, because here in the South a
title means less than a blade OF wheat
straw and men are judged by other
standards. Count Boni Castellane
in Virginia would prove a laughing
stock not only among men, but
among women, and the little whipper
snapper Duke OF Marlborough would
provoke no other feeling than a de-
sire to use a rawhide. Titles are all
right when held by man-such a
man as deems it lasting disgrace
to strike woman or to desert her
in affliction-but when held by Mari
boroughs and Castellanes they are
emblematical only OF moral degreda-
ton.

binary rules of practice, and give due
weight to the later section. Appar-
emily the object of this legislation was
20 prevent the granting of extensions
and the meddling of judges in cases
which they had not tried or which
we're not properly under their control.
and yet in the case of the absence or
inability of the Judge who tried the
action, to grant relief, or allow ex-
tensions to be made to deserving liti-
giants.
The argument advanced comedies
that if Judge Murphy had gone to
Reno and entered the order in open
court it would have been good, but un-
der this contention if he had stepped
through the door into the chambers
and made it, it would have been void
Orders extending the time for filings
are business usually, or properly
transacted in chambers and under
Section 1913 can and ought to be
made as effectually in any part of the
State by the Judge having the case in
charge. as if made by him in cham
bers or in open court. Judge Murphy
was merely acting for Judge Curler
during his vacation, but by analogy
the construction claimed, if adopted,
would. in every case where district
judge dies, resigns or is succeeded,
invalidate the orders extending time
under section 1877 made out of court
by his successor in Office, although
they are of that character ordinarily
granted in chambers. This would
mean a distinction and two rules for
fling orders of the, same kind
and that the Judge who had tried the
cause as Judge Curler had done in
this instance, could make the order IN
chambers, while his successor could
SO make it only in the cases tried by
him, and would have to be in court
to make these simple orders extend
ing time in actions which had been
previously tried by another judge
Appellants desired and were entiGl-
ed to the time granted for the pur-
pose of enabling them to secure from
the court reporter who had left the
State, a transcript of the testimony
given on the trial, which would ena-
bic them to properly prepare the state
ment.
Under Section 2573 Judge CurleT'
could have made an order granting
them the extension at any place in
the State, and as during his absence
Judge Murphy was requested by the
Court minutes to attend to all bust
ness for him, we conclude that he was
empowered to make the order at Car
son City as he did, and as Judge Cur
Ter could have done, and that it wa
not necessary for him to make the trir
to Reno and undergo the fOrmalitv oil
opening court to enter ex parte orders
simply extending time, such as are
usually made out of court.
The motion to dismiss the appeal
from the order oyerruling the motiOn
for a new trial and to strike out tn,
