THURSDAY EVENING. MAR. p, 1908.

THE President made q bid for the
negro vote yesterday by sending to the
Senate, Just before the reports on 'ne
Brownsville Investigation were presented,
a message asking that Congress pass sn
act giving the President the power to re-
instste such OF the discharged soldiers OF
The Twenty-ftth Infantry who could
proye that they did not take part IN the
",hooting up" of the Texas town For
once, at less, the President succeeded
in keeping the sending 10 OF a special
message profound scret and there was
q look of blank amszement on the face
of Senators Foraker, Scott, Bulkeley and
Hemenway, when the communication
was read before the Brownsville reports
were submitted. The democrats re-
csiyed the message with glee and Subse-
ouently commented on the race as to who
should be FIRST to plscste the negro voter.
No action OF the administration has
brought sharper criticism than the Pres
idenPs order dismissing the three negro
regiments, and Senator Foraker and
others have used it to array the negroes
against the President and Secretary TAFT
with such effect that a widespread col
orsd bolt from the republican ticket thl'
fall is threatened, should the Secretary
of War be the republican nominee. IL
the hope of averting this, the President
in the special message to the Senate
asked that legislation be enacted extend
ing for a year the time within which b'
may restore to the army such OF the dis
missed colored troops as can satisfy hin
that they were not involved IN tn
Brownsville shooting.

IN the nomination on Tuesday of r.
NJ. Robinson to be postmaster at Pensa-
cola, Fla, the President has brought to
an end a situation which some Senators
have characterized as 'intolerable. "
William Fl. Nortbrup was postmaster at
that place and his commission expired
February 10, 1907. He was nominated
for second term January % of that
wear but his nomination was rejected by
the Senate in March following. Despite
this rejection the Senate was surprised
to learn early in the present session that
Northrup was still filling the position.
On motion of Senator Tsliafero the Sem
ate adopted resolution, January q, OF
this year, calling upon Postmaster Cen
ersl Never for an explanation. After
considerable delay, Mr.. Meyer replied
that under the postal regulations post
master must continue in office until his
successor has qualified and that through
an error of a clerk the fact Of Mr.. North
rup'srjection had not been called to bis
attention or to that of the President 30
that new nomination could be made
Mr.. Movers answer wss received by the
Senate February y, of this year, and it
was not until four weeks later that the
new nomination wss sent in. Consid-
cradle feeling wss manifested among
Senators when their attention was first
called to the matter because they inter
preted it as another direct refusal on the
part of the President to recognize the
right of the Senate to "advise and con-
sent" in the matter of appointments

rens bill came up1here was a coDspic-
uous absence Of sufficient number OF
Senators to prevent vote.
The only matter acted upon was con-
curence in the House joint resolution
providing for the formulation OF the pro-
cedure in the Blackstone case when the
legislature co ivenes on the 25th.
The House communicated that the
amendments to the pilots bill, fixing 3
tax of 500 on coal shippers, had not
been concurred 10 by that body. Th $
action by the House practically kills the
whole measure.

The only fight Of the day in the House
was on joint resolution introduced by
Mr.. @. H. Feslherstonof Campbell touch
ing the fish and oyster question. The
resolution was adopted.
This subject never fails TO bring on
fierce conflict when presented at each
legislative session. The Festherstou
resolution looks to securing from reliable
sources on side of lTidewater Virgins
definite information concerning the sub
lect in question, yhereon the members
of the legislature rot from Tidewater may
bsss legislative action.
In explaining his resolution he said
that his sole 6bjectwss to get light or
tn subject of vast importance upon
which he and the people Of his section
are profoundly igpount.
Despite the general impression to the
effect that Judge Backbone will resign
before the Legislators return to consider
the charges, the House yesterday pfs,tC
a resolution tending to expedite the pro
ceedings against him.
The resolution reads: "Resolved by
the House OF Delegates Che Senate con
curring,) "That the House c1mmitte'
on courts of justice and the Seua,e com
mttee on courts OF justice, be authorized
and directed to prepare and report to the
