jUMr. Forney, of Alabama, oh behalf
ff the committee on ; appropriations,
called up the bill appropriating $150,
iQOfer the relief of theisttferers bv the
overflow of rivers in Alabama. Mr.
Forney described the sufferings1 and the
destitute condition of thousands of peo
ple who had been rendered homeless by
the floods in;' Alabama, and dwelt upon
the necessity pf CongreBBional action,
lie read a telegram sent by a mass meet
ing of colored; people in Dallas county,
Alabama, to the Alabama delegation,
urging an immediate appropriation by
Congress, and, stating that $150,000
was not sufficient to adequately relieve
the distress. ' '.r
Messrs. Hisdock, of New' York, and
Nelson, of Minnesota, urged the pro
priety of an amendment making! an ap
propriation ftrithf relief of the; suffer
erB from the late cyclone! in Minnesota.
Mrj Oates, of Alabama, regretted
thkt he could, not agree iwtth his col
leagues on thiBsquestion. : This measure
ws confessedly! outside of the constitu
tion, and he was one of those Who be
lieved that the joatn of office he took to
sujpport that; instrument! Was violated
when he went outside of t and usurped
authority to abpropriate the people's;
money. The floods in Alabama had
ben destructive and much suffering had
ensued, but today he waa informed that
evry river in! Alabama was wstiin its
banks and ;th(j fact ; that! houses had
been destroyed would make1 work mon
plentiful and wages higher.! He quoted
front an editorial in; a Montgomery,
A144 Uewspapeir to the effect that a
Congressional j appropriation 'Would
prove a curse rather than, blessing to
the farming jintieresta bf Alabama; and
froni the Selma ; Times, expressing the
hope that if an appropriation passed the
Boise and the 4 'old woman from New
Hampshire" ;aaw: it througii the Senate,
the rst man who got his hands on the
fun would steal it and run off
to Sjani: In answer to this Mr. Forney

i.Well, the' education measure is re
ceiving enough "consideration" today
to make up for all the lost time. Both
'tbe committee pn labor and that on edu-
cation have the question under consid
eration and ; a report from each will
probably be made in the early part of
the ensuing week. It appears that the
latter committee has repented what is
past, would avoid what is to come, and
Lis grown quite tired of spreading oom-
f ost on the weeds to make them ranker,
ni other words, foreseeing the inevita
ble! it has concluded to make a report
while "irnoring" tbe fact that a bill
hal been referred to the labor commit-
ttee. Two reports, as stated, will then be
made to the : House; that is, two ma
jority reports and probably two or more
minority reports, v ah oi in em will be
referred to the committee of the whole.
The majority; report of the labor com
mittee and the minority report of the
education committee will be essentially
the: same, embodying the substance of
the; Blair bill, and if a vote
is l; ever bad and the friends
tt : the scheme are in the ma-
ority, one of them will be adopted.
he two men in the House who deserve
the most credit for this much progress
are James W . Reid, of North Carolina,
and;A. S. Willis, of Kentucky, and if
the b;ill is enacted into a law the poor
children of their States and this entire
country, will owe them a lasting debt
of gratitude. . Will the question be
brought to a vote ? I think it will. Sij
"Th jrlow-wor"1 hIiowh the matin to be near.
And ;'gin to pale bi ineffectual fire."
1M other words, 1 think the enemies
of the bill are themselves beginning to
believe they are whipped.
MR. CLKAVBXAID s courtship. '
The gossips have got the President
and his "approaching marriage" a-eoinir
afresh, and -'society" is in a great flut
ter, 1 assure you. The latest follows :
Assemblyman Piatt, of New York State.
who is also editor of the Poughkeepsie
Eagle; while: in Buffalo last week is
said to have need shown a letter written'
to a Mr. Box; a prominent lawyer of the
latter city, by Mrs. folsom, who u now
in Genoa, Italy. In this letter Mrs,
Folsom is said to have spoken of the
approaching marriage of hex daughter
to President ; Cleveland this summer.
The alleged future mistress of the White
House is 23 years of age, and is
considered very beautiful. She has
visited ; at the i White House several
times since Mr. Cleveland's inaugura
tion. Her father was the President's
law partner for a number of years, but
has been dead some time. He lost a
large! fortune, ' it is stated, just previous
to his death, ! and a local paper states
that it is a weii'knewn fact that fresi-
dent Cleveland is defraying the expenses
of Miss olsom s present European trip

I see in your paper of the 17th ' a
statement that the Code pro vides for the
prohibition "of spirituous liquors

Dxar Uir: In reading the statute on
local option, as brought forward in the
Code, we find that the act of 1876-77.
chapter 259, adding the words "vinous
or malt,' is omitted. From this circum
stance it is contended by j some persons
that tbe county commissioners are au
thorized by the act to order an election
on the question of distilled liquors only
and that if prohibition wins in said eleo
tion, "yinOus or malt" liquors may still
be sold, i ' i
Will yod give us your opinion in re
gard to this matter? Was the act of
187b-77 referred to, omitted by the
Code commission through an oversight,
or was it supposed by the; members of
said commission : that 1 "spirituous
liquors" embraced Vvinous and malt?!'
It seems to us that the words "spirit
uous liquors" cover the whole question.
Spirituous liquors embrace vinous
and. malt as well as distilled
liquors : As4 to whether; any par
ticular tiquor is spirituous! is a ques
tion of fact for the jury, as is said b
the court in state vs.; Lowery, 74 N
R., 121. f i ; ; ; i i
The words of the local option act are
the same as those of section 1076 of the
Code, ahd yet has it not always been
neia inaictaDie to sell vinous ana malt
liquors without license? Your opinion
in this matter will be greatly prized and
an early reply is asked for. ;

1876.77, was intentionally omitted? by

surplusage. They supposed that
the words " spirituous, . vinous
or matt liquors meant no mora
than the words "spirituous liquors.'!
Sections: 1070 and 8110 of the
Code are in pari materia and n,uit be
construed with reference to each other.
You will recollect that the entire Code
is one statute. See Preamble. Vov. II
