The Senate today further debated

grout!.' ilo said that tho amendment
olTer-d by Mr. Ingall's would meet with

the house to day, imicodiately after the
a i proval of the journal, Mr. Chandler,
ot Massachusetts, called up for consid
eration the World's Fair bill. The bill
was read in extenso. An Amendment
was adopted providing lor the appoint
nient ot a lady board of managers to
perform such duties as may bo pre
cribed by tho commission.
Mr. Candler opened the debate and
fXM-essed the satisfaction which he
felt in being able to state that Chicago
had proved itself, before the committee,
pial to all that had been expected of
ii. Mr. Caudler then ottered an aran:i
inent, to bo considered as pending, pro
siding for the dedication of the build
inns of the World's Fair, with appro
i.riate ceremonies, October 12th, 181)2,

The Saxton Bill Before the Governor--
He Questions the Constitutionality of
Some of Its ProvisionsAnd Recom
mends That They Be Submitted to the
Court of Appeals.
By United Press. 1
Albany, K. Y., March 25. Gov. Hill
sent a communication to the legislature
this morning in which he says that the
Saxton ballot reform bill is now before
him for consideration. The objects
which it professes to accomplish are un
questionably commendable. Many of
its features are excellent, and several
have beon recommended by the Governor
in his annual messages during the past
two years. "But certain of its provi
sions are believed by the Governor to be
in violation of the constitution of this
State."
The advisability of an early adjudica
tion of the validity of this proposed
measure (especially while the legis
lature is in session), the Gov
ernor says, is very apparent. The
best interests of tho State would be
subserved and the cause of electoral re
form greatly promoted and its success
hastened, if the constitutionality of
these provisions could be informally de
termiued by the Court of Appeals, at
this time, for the information and guid
ance of both the legislature and the
executive. It is believed that the Court
of Appeils, upon the joint request of
the legislature and the executive, would
readily undertake to examine the pro
posed measure and informally express an
opinion as to the constitutionality of its
provisions.
It is therefore recommended that j
joint resolution be passed by the legis
lature requesting the Court of Appeals,
First and Second Districts, to convene at
their earliest possible convenience for
the purpose of examining this measure
and apprising their opinions informally
as to tho constitutionality of the pro
visions thereof.
It is my earnest desire to aid the solu
tion of the problem ot electoral reform,
and that spirit alone has prompted this
communication. 1 trust that the legis
lature, with a similar desire to secure
practical results in the effort to abolish
the evil3 now attending our elections
will meet my suggestion in the same
spirit and will readily acquiesce in my
request to refer the constitutional ques
tious in controversy to a competent non
partisan tribunal'

New Yoke, March 25. Tho grand

of New York county, after paying all
expenses as to suits and other matters,
has an income of more than $50,000 a
year. It declares tnat tne sneriii s
office is and has been prostituted; that
for the purpose of gaining some advant
age inconsistent with official honesty,
the rights of others have been sacrificed,
and the sheriff's office has been prosti
tuted. The conduct of the office has
been mercenary, slovenly and wholly in

lature make tho office a salaried one,
with a salary suitable to it, and to its
higher responsibilities.

Durham, N. C, March 25. Among
the new enterprises of this enterprising
city is the Durham Medicated Cigar
ette Company, of which Col. K. R.
Bridgers is president, and Dr. R. F.
Whitehurst secretary and treasurer.
In conversation with Dr. Whitehurst
to-day, I learned that all of the $10,000
worth of stock issued by the company
has been taken here in Durham and he
has amplications on file to bay the u.i'-k
at 100 per cent, advance. Indeed so
great is the confidence in the enterprise,
you cannot buy this stock now at any
price. He has orders for the cigarettes
from every city in North Carolina and
from every State in the South. The
board of directors are : Mr. J. S. Carr,
Col. K. R. Bridgers, . W. Kennedy,
P. W. Vaughan, T. J. Lambe, J. S.
Manning and Dr. II. F. Whitehurst.
The sale of Blackwell's Co-operative
Company is said to be quite true, but no
transfer has yet been made. The fac
tory is working its full force of hands
and is now engaged on its special brands
of long and plug cut. These brands are
growing in public favor and are fast
supplanting the "granulated goods."
There are some good voices among the
operatives in this factory, and the music
made by them while they work is simply

Another one of Mr. Wanamaker's ap
pointees is reported to have gone wrong.
This one is E. C. Ferrell, postmaster at
Apex, in this county. He, too, was ap
pointed under a vigoious protest of the
people of the town, and since taking
charge of the office it seems that he has
been having a hilarious old time. It is
reported that he has a habit of drinking
to excess, and that the postoffice has be
come popular with women of question
able character. !
A general exposition of these facts j
was recently brought out by the follow
ing circumstance: A very respectable
lady went to the office on a cold day.
The postmaster invited her in to the
fire, and sne went in and took a seat.
While sitting by the fire the postmaster
went up and put his arm around her,
almost paralyziDg her with astonishment
and mortification. She escaped from
him, and reported what he had at
tempted. When he was questioned
about the affair, his defence was that he
thought she was another woman.

the case, and sent on to Mr. Wanamaker,

Ex-Speaker Carlisle thinks the Lodge
Federal election bill one of the most ob

practically impossible to hold a legal
election under its complicated provis

lisle said: "Suppose we do a little flo
uring on it to start with. If this bill
was a law there would, be at each of the
90,000 election precincts of the country,
at every Congressional aud Presidential
election, seven Federal ollieials, making
a total of G-30,000 men, and costing ten
or fifteen millions of dollars every two
years, inis estimate is uasea upon tne
present number of voting precincts, but
the complications of this bill would
make the process of voting such a slow
one that the number of precincts would
have to be largely increased, perhaps
doubled, in order to give the voters an
opportunity to deposit their ballots."
