THE BILL TO BHIDOf TEX CAPK FEAB,
BLACK AHD SOTH EAST RIVIR8 COH-
VICT LASOB OTBKB NEWS.
Washisqton, May 22 Sesati.
A message from the President return
ing without hiB approval Senate bill
for the relief of L. J. Warden was
laid before the Senate. The bill di
rects the allowance of $625 to War
den, recently postmaster at Lawrence,
Kansas, for extra clerk hire from July
1st, 1882, to the 30th of June, 1S83.
The grounds of the vetQ are that the
allowances of postmasters for clerk
hire are fixed by the Postoflice De
partment; that in this case $3,100 was
allowed; that applications for addi
tional allowances were twice declined;
that the expenses were therefore in
curred at the postmaster's own risk,
-and that the passage of special acts
in such cases would have a dangerous
tendency, to encourage postmasters to
substitute their own judgment for
that of tho Department and to raivx
wholesome discipline! Tho President
said that the time allowed by the
Constitution for the approval of bills
expired m this case on the l'.Jth iost ;
that the Senate adjourned from May
17th till May 21st; that the
niesiage was drawn and en
grossed on the 18th; that on the 19th
the message and bill we're tendered
to the Secretary of the Senate, who
declined to receije themj that they
were then tendered to the President
of tbe Scnato, who also declined to
receive them on the ground that they
could only be presented to the Senate
in actual 8633ion; and that; they were'
transmitted as eoon-as the Senate
convened (yes'erday) with this expla
nation. Mr. Hoar remarked that the
communication raised a very impor
tant constitutional question, to which
the Sonate should give its careful
consideration. He therefore moved
its reference to the committee on
privileges and electtone. Agreed to.
A committee of conference was or
dered on the pension appropriations
bill, and Messrs. Allison, Dawes and
Gorman were appointed.
After some routine proceed
ings of minor interest, the Senate at
140 p. jn. proceeded to the consider
ation of executive business. The
doors were reopened at 2 p. m., when
the Senate proceeded to the consider
ation of unfinished business, being
House bill to establish a' Department
of Labor and Mr. Reagan addressed
the Senate in opposition' to the bill.
He said it was a mero tub thrown to
the labor whale. The laboring classes
had many grounds of . complaint but
he Jhad never heard; that they de
manded a mere change in the manner
of collecting information about labor
as ; being sufficient to satisfy their
conkplaintB. Their complaint was that
got control of it) been run in
the interest (in short) of special fa
vored classes to the injury and op
pression of those engaged in agri
culture, the arts and : professional
occupations.
Mr Reagan moved a sub stitute to
the bill creating a Department of In
dustry. On a vote by yeaj and nays on
the substitute there were 0 yeas and
27 nays (less than a quorum) and then
Mr Reagan withdrew the substitute
and after a few amendments of the
phraseology the bul , passed and a
conference committee was ordered
and Senators Blair, Wilson (of Iowa)
anii George were appointed con
ferees. , -
A number of bills wers taken from
the calendar and passed ( among them
the House bill to authorize the con
struction of a bridge across the Ten
nessee river at Knoxville with amend
ments ; the House bill appropriating
$120,000 for the enlargement and re-
f'airs of the public budding at At
af.ta ; tho Senate bill granting to the
corporate authorities f Tuscaloosa,
Ala., fractions of sectiops 22 and 15
of public lands south of the Black
Warrior river ; the ; Senate bill to
amend the bill making an annual ap
propriation to provide arms and
equipments for the militia (increasing
the amount to fUOO.OUU ; the Senate
bill appropriating $3(1,000 for the
improvement and enlargement of the
public building at Peterebdrg, Va.,
and the Senate bill, appropriating

Vickaburg. Adiourned.-
1 HOUSE. ;
Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, presented
the conference report on the bill to
bridge the Cape Fear, Black and North
Hast rivers in North Carolina, and it
wa? agreed to.
The floor was then accorded to the
eommittee on labor and Mr. O'Neill,
of Missouri, chairman of that com
mittee, called up the. bill to confine
the sale of products of convict labor
to the State in which ' they are pro
duced. Mr, O'Neill endeavored to
bave an arrangement affected whereby
depate on the bill should be limited
to two hcure. but ooposition was
made on the ground I that the princi
ple involved in the bill was too im
portant to be established without full
discussion ana consideration.
The majority and minority reports
were read at length and. an hour was
thus consumed. Mr. O'Neill explain
ed that the measure .originated in a
visit to this city of manufacturers from
New York, lirooklynj Jersey City,
Philadelphia and . other cities, who
appeared before the committee and
pictured the absolute ruin that stared
them in tho face from the competition
of convict labor. The labor organi
zations of thj3 country: through their
representatives had urged upon the
committee the necessity for the pas
sage of ithe bill. The tariff question
Bank into insignificehce when it was
realized that there was a cancer at
homo eating the heart out of every
trade and industry. .'
Mr. Plumb, of Illinois, a member of
tl e labor committee,; opposed tho bill
oi tlie grouca tnat lt was uncon&u
tutioual and interfered with the In
ter State Commerce. -
.Mr. io"ers, oi Ai Kinsas, ueld. muu-
let views.
Mr. Rayner, of ! Maryland, con
tended that the bill was constitu
tional under the provision giving
Congress the riijht to regulate com
merce between States.
Mr. Butterworth opposed the bill,
both as being beyond the constitu
tional power of Congress and inad
visable. He declared that there was
no evidence that any industry had
been stricken down by reason of com
petition with convict labor. There
was no well-ordered business estab
lishment that could not compote with
priKon labor.
Mr. Wtlfeou, of Minnesota, opposed
th3 bill ou.c institutional grounds.
Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, was unwill
ing that it shou'd pass unless the im
portation of foreign goods, wholly or
in part manufactured by convicts,
was also prc-lubi id.
Mr. Lodgf-, of; jM is i.hu setts, sup

Mr. Cannon offered m amendment
prohibiting the importation for com

country to the tTnite' States, which
in whole or in part were manufactured
or produced by convict labor, and
prescribing a penalty for the viola
tion of this prohibition. Adopted.
The previous question was then or

Wabhixqtos, D.i C, May 22. The
Senate has decided by a vote of 28 to
27 not to consider the fisheries treaty
in open session. The division was
upon strjet party lines, except in the
case of Senator Hale, who voted with
the Democrats adversely to the Bid
dleberger resolution. Upon the an
nouncement of the result the body
went at once into legislative session.
No time has yet been fixed for taking
up the treaty.
The Democratic members of the
House committee on rivers and har
bors are dismayed by the chancres
made in the bill by the Senate com
mittee and express an intention to
vigorously opposej? most of those of
importance. It is asserted that the
New England appropriations have
been in many cases increased even
beyond the estimates made by the
engineer offioera and those submitted
by the Department, while the South
ern Hems have been ruthlessly cut.

Wallace vs. Robinson.
Held, Where a sheriff Junder final
process levies on proper as the proper

third parties intervene and set up a
claim to the property in themselves,
the burden of proof is upon them to
show their right on the trial. They
become actors and must establish
their claim affirmatively.

next term after the case is thuf finally
disposed of, the defendant makes ap

State vs. HoRingsworth.
Held, The endorsements on a bill
of indictment form no part of the in
dictment, and the direction of the
statute that the names of the wit
nesses sworn by the grand lurv be
marked is only directory.
Held, Jitu-jm'iX .wuwofug
act ..ion witnoui taxing oui a
license is punishable by a justice of
the peace, "the misdemeanor created
by Chapter 417, Acts 1887, is cogniza
ble by the Superior Court.
Held, That because of tne proviso
of Section 3116, Code, a vote "for
license" does not authorize the sale of
liquor in territory where it is pro
hibited by a special act of the Assem
bly. In re i'atteraon.
Held, That in cases of contempt of
court where the guilt of the offender
is to be ascertained witnout tne in
tervention of a jury, limits have been
assigned to the punishment allowed,
and the statute does not authorize a
punishment of imprisonment for sixty
days and a fine of two thousand dol
lars in such cases.
Held, That one who is merely in
attendance with an agent having le-
tral custody of a prisoner under a writ
of extradition, as a guard to resist ap
prehended rescue, is not in custody
of the- prisoner, and unless by word
or act he aids or abets such agent in

Held, Mortgages or liens on crops
to be produced as allowed by tne
statute will be upheld when the land
on which the crop to be produced is
designated and identified in some way
at the time the lien is created.
But the nature of a sale requires
that the thine sold shall have dis
tinctive identity at the time it is sold
whether then capable ol -delivery, or
to become so at a future time as the
product of something identified at
the time oi tne sale, xo constitute
a lien, it is not sufficient to designate
the land on which the crop shall be
grown "as any other land we may
cultivate in said county , ana tne nen
does not attach because the land on
which the crop may be grown is un
certain at the time the lien is made.
The particular land muBt be iden

it will be void for uncertainty.

mentioned for the above position in a
card in the Daily Jieview, of Wil

he Bays he will be a candidate. There
would be no objection to this estima

present incumbent, Gen. Roberts, is
the man to be nominated. No purer
or more high-toned, chivalrous gen
tleman could be selected for the posi
tion, and none more deserving of the
honor than Gen. Roberts, and the
convention soon to assemble in Ral

to make the action uaaiumous but
this was not done. TLe Demo
cratic Senators, who wee a week
ago unanimously opposed to open
consideration of the treaty, are now
largely inclined to join in the move
ment. There i& etili a possibility that
the treaty will not be takGG up today,
but there is a strong probability that
a motion will be made by Senator Ed
munds shortly after 2 o'clock that the
doors be elosed and that a few
minutes later they will be reopened
and the consideration pf the treaty
proceeded with in public.
