BRYANT It Was Finally Postponed ln definitely. CHAT OH PUBLIC QUESTIONS Prominent Men Dl_cu__ LegUlation?Tbe Convention Work?The calon Bill Defeated?Other N.les. The Senate Committee on Courts or Justice yesterday afternoon considered long and" earnestly a bill "regarding the larceny of doprs." This statute, one of the most. unique and interesting that has l.ren offered in the General Assembly of Virginia iu many a day, has, if nothing else. tlie excelleuce lhat comes of tareylty. It makes hut eight lines when printed, a nd provides that the possession of a dog lor forty-eight hours shall be prima, facie proof of larceny. The committee was of opinion that a statute of this character would place it within the scope and pro? vince of any dog that might he mliided to leave home for a season andi visit a ncighbor*s to irreparabiy blast and dam? age tlie standing and good name of the man whosa hospitality he would ha en joying. lt a. neighhor's deg should by any chance, as is often the case in the coun trv, become attached to some other coun? try place, the owner, after, tlring of re? peal ed expeditions to tlio home of a dis? tant justice of the peace, would under the I operation of this statute probahly have to move out and leave tha place, to the The committee, after wrrstling with tbe bill for quite a. time. decided to post pone its consideration indefinitely. The statute under discussion reads as follows: , . "Bc it enacted hy the General Assem? bly of Virginia, That in any county, city or town, where dogs are taxed or a license tax is required on dogs, the pos sc. .ion without consent of the owner, by auv person not the owner of a dog, on which said tax or license tax has been raid for more than forty-eight hours without reporting the fact of such pos? session to a constable, police officer or justice of the peace, shall he prima faeia "proof of larceny." Foliowing is a copy of the very inter? esting bill presented in the Senate by Colonel Anderson designed to preventand punish the desecration of the Tjiuteu St-tes flag: ._ "I> it enacted by the General As semhly of Virginia: That any person who ih any manner for exhibition or di^piay shall place, of cause to be piaced, an,y word, f.gure, mark, picture, design, drawing or any advertiscment of any nature, upon any flag. standard c"olor, or ensign of the United States of America, or shall expose or cause to be exposed to public view any such flag, standard, color, or ensign, upon which shall bo printed, painted or otherwise piaced, or to which shall be attached, appended, aihxed or annexed, any word, figure, mark, picture, design, or drawing, or any advertiscment of any nature. or who shall expose to public view, manufacture, sell, expose for sale, give awa,y, or have in possession for sale, or to give away, or for use for any purpose, any article, or substance, being an article of mer? chandise, or a ree'eptaele of merchandise, upon which shall have been printed, painted, attached or otherwise piaced, a representation of any such flag, stan? dard, color. or ensign, to advertise, call attention to decorate mark, or distin guish. the artide or substance on which to piaced, or who shall publicly mutilate, deface, defiie. or defy, trample upon, or cast c'ontempt, either by words or act, upon an,v such. flag. standard, color. or ensign, shall be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor and shall be punlshed by a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or by imprisonment for not more than thirty da.ys. or both, in the discretion of the court."

After five months' absence from tlie Constitutional Convention on account of s-.ekness, Senator John XV. Daniel has suf ficiently recovered to return to liis con? vention duties. With his daughter. Mrs. Fred. Harper, he arrived Sunday night, and is stopping at the Lexington Hotel. He was in his seat in the convention yesterday and was warmly greeted by his colleagues. He wa.s in good spirits, ind to all appearances has about regained his health. The return of Senator Daniel here at this time is highly opportune, as the convention ls just now getting down to the real consideration of Ihe suffrage Question. of the committee ha.vlng charge of which Senator Daniel is chairman. I here was a universal feeling of pleas ure in the convention yesterday over the Senator's return, and nearly every mem? ber personally offered his congratuia tion . Major Daniel was present during the whole of the suffrage conferenco and paid the closest attention to the proceed i sgs, frequen'tly making inquiries of the speakers. He is evidently carefully feel? ing the pulse on the Glass suffrage plan, and is very much interested in seeing it adopted over the majority plan, which he struggled for months last summer to prevent being recommended by the com rnitteo. lt is understood lhat Senator Daniel will to-day in the conferenco make his flrst elaborate argument in behalf of the Glass plan, which has been sttbstituted for the minority report tiled by him, M;i jor Anderson. "Messrs. Stuart, Bouldin and Harrison. It will be remembered that Senator Daniel was taken ili last fall before ho could reply to Mr. Thoin's powerful argument In support of the per? manent understanding and against the Daniel temporary understanding feature. Tho Glass plan is a slight motlincatlon of tho minority report, and has generally been supposed to be the joint. work of the chairman of the committee and Mr. Glass. Jt looks now as if Ihe Gta.?s-D..nlel plan Is going to be ultimafely adopted with amendmenfs as to details. Mr. Thom contimics to contest every Inch of ground for ihe permanent understandincr clause of the majority plan and is hanging on like gtim death to every feature of Ihe major? ity report. It is a singular fact, how? ever, that all members from the black belt, except those on the. committee and Judge Brooke", do not hesitate to say they will not support the Thom plan. At least three of the si_ners of tho Thom report staled yesterday that while they should vole perfunctorily for that report. they had become convinced that the tem? porary understanding feature was the better and hoped lhat would he adopted. Tho Thom plan was especially designed to meft. conditions of the "black belt,"' and with almost all members from tliat section actively opposing, it is difficult to seo how it can stand any show. II; is noleworthy that in all thc long conferences over the suffrage, a vote has ', never yet been allowed and has always I been staved off In some way or other on thc simple issue: "Shall there be an un deretanding feature iu the suffrage schemo, and lf so, shall It bo temporary or permanent?" oth sides go to beatlng about the bush every timo these direct issues are reached.
