Mayor Blanton is known to have ser ious objections to the bill, although he has never, in any way, pointed out the objectionable clause.

Following upon the publication of the roll of honor ot the city schools every month The Citizen frequently hears complaints from pupils whose monthly reports assured them that they would be on the roll of honor, yet when the report was published their names were omitted. One case was brought to The Citizen's attention yesterday. One little Miss of 12 years in the fifth grade at Orange street school had received "excellent" on every thing in her report and was naturally expecting to be on the honor roll. When it was published in Thi Otizbn. how ever, her name did not appear. The little girl laid the matter before the teacher yesterday morning, and was told that there must nave been a mistake in tne printing. More than this, two or three of those whose names were printed, in formed the teacher that their names should not have been on the roll, accord ing to their reports. Thb Citizen knows that the mistake was not made in this office. The origi nal copy, made out by the teacher, is in the office now, and the names as printed in Thb Citizen correspond exactly with those on the teacher's report.

Murphy, esq , in being asked this morning if he had anything to say in re gard to the statements of Mayor Blan ton published in yesterday's Citizen said : I do not desire to notice tbe puerile effusion of Mr. Blanton. I emphatically asseverate the truth of the statements made by me in Wednesday's Citizen. As to my acts in preparing and forward in e tbe bill amending tbe charter of the city of Asheville I am answerable to the people ot tins city and not to .Mayor Blanton, and to them l stand ready to answer at any and all times. Mayor Blanton has not as yet shown, or at tempted to show, that the bill did not embrace the recommendations ot the two mass meetings. That he had deter mined to adopt every means to defeat the will of the people, either by obstruc tive methods or by adopting the Fabian policy ol delay is now apparent to every one. Has be snown that be made any effort, as a member of the committee, to prepare a bill according to tbe demands of the. citixeus?.. Mayor Blanton is evi dently angry because be realizes that he no longer carries Asneville in bis pocket. "As to tbe allusion of Mayor Blanton to the appointment of justices of tbe peace, I have feelings of pity mingled witli contempt tor a man who can com mit so great a breach ot propriety as to go into a man's private office, and then come out and give to the press, with out permission, any conversation or tran saction there in progress that in no way concerns him. The tacts were these : I had received from prominent citizens all over the county a number of names to be submitted to tbe members ot tbe Oen- eral Assembly for appointment as jus tices ot tbe peace. Messrs. lxiugbran and Featherston came to my office and I read these names over to them as 1 would have done for any other two Dem ocrats in this county. That these two gentlemen and myself were revising and making up a list of magistrates is wholly untrue. No change was made at their sugges' ion. To these gentlemen, as Dem ocrats, I accorded the right to see the list of magistrates, and I could and would have done no less tor any Demo crat in the county. "The list of justices as appointed by the General Assembly will show that good and true men were appointed; that they were not selected by any particular cabal, by any particular man or set of men. For my acta in this behalf I Bold myself in readiness to answ ir to tbe Democratic party of Buncouibe county and not to His Majesty the Mayor. THE BKNRVIT. A Klrni offers) Work Free But Watnts) Si so for It. Some time ago Sallic McDowell, the 12-vear old daughter of Chief of Police McDowell, saw an adver tisement inserted in some paper by tbe Brooklyn Art Union, which stated that the firm would, free of charge, enlarge pictures sent them by readers of the advertisement. The little girl sent a photograph of ber grand father, Maj. W. W. McDowell, in a short while she received from the firm a lone typewritten letter, in which it set forth that it was a "reliable society of artists," ' nd, unlike other firms in the same business, would not charge her a fancy price for a frame for ber picture. "Tbe only expense you are called upon to pay," tbe letter continues, "in for the necessary expense ot advertising, pack ing and delivery of your portrait, which will be $1.50. for you certainlv could not expect us to go to that expense when we give you so much. The $ 1 .50 was not sent. FINK TRKES. ttlxes of Some From TVblcli Pho toitraplie Are to toe Made. T. II.

He Makes) s Speech In Renlv Ttae senate Passes one Dill In Qnlck Time Ttte House Rejects Consideration of the Anll-Op-llon Bill. Washington, Feb. 24. The sundry civil appropriation bill with the senate amend ments was laid before tbe House and re ferred to the committee on appropria tions. Mr. Bland gave tbe significant suggestion that the committee on appro priations should report it back at as early a day as possible, as he intended to have the Senate amendments fully and fairly discussed in the committee of tbe whole. Outhwaite called up the confer ence report on the army appropriation bill. While explaining the measure Hil ary A. Herbert, Cleveland's new Secre tary of the Navy, entered the hall and modestly leaned over the screen in the rear of the chamber. But be could not escape the eyes that were in search of him. and tbe bouse spontaneously broke into applause and cheers which lasted several moments and wbirb evidently came trom the heart. Outhwaite, smil ing, bowed to Herbert and yielded him five minutes ot bis time. And so Herbert was compelled to come forth from bis retirement. He was deep ly moved by tbe cordial reception given htm and his voice quivered as be said "This reception from men with whom I have associated and whom I have known so long, touches my heart in a manner that 1 have no words to express I can only say that I thankyou from tbe bottom ot my beart. Ibis short speecn was greeted with long and loud applause, and then Her bert held a levee in tbe rear of the hali The Conference report was agreed to. Mr. Pell moved that tbe house go into committee of tbe whole for considera tion ot the General Appropriation bills. Ibis motion was antagonized by Hatch, who wished consideration of the anti- option bill. Peel's motion prevailed, yeas 152, nays 75, and consideration of tbe Indian appropriation bill was re sumed. The Hawaiian resolution introduced in tbe House recently by springer calling for the statement of liabilit ies to be as sumed, was considered today by the House wavs and means committee and referred to sub-committee. Tbe senate proceeded to consideration of tne diplomatic and consular appropria tion bill. There was no item in the bill that gave rise to any contest or discus sion. As quickly as tbe clerk could read the bill it was read and passed, and the military academy appropriation bill was then taken up and passed, lue legisla tive. executive and judiciary appropria tion bill was tben taken up. Senator Dixon, from the committee on postoffice and post roads, today reported favorably to the Senate his amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill which proposes to pay to letter carriers in cit ies wnere irec aenyery is cstaousnea iuc first year $600 per annum, second year $800, third year $1000. fourth year and thereafter $L,20U.
