Gil more, proprietor of tho New Central Thea tre, was this morning arraigned before Judge Biddle on tho charge of oeuese libel, ireferred by Josiah Leeds. Tbe charge was stsed upon the exhibition of a picture rep resenting characters in the spectacular pro duction of the “Seven Ravens," which was advertised to be performed at tho theatre some time ago. It was bang upon the outside of the theatre. The question was left by the conrt to the jury to determine from the picture itself whether it was as charged an indecent publication. The jnry, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty. Counsel for Gilmore said the lictnre was no worse than similar ones ex- dbited in front of other theatres where there was a ballet. Thu jndge said it was time to put a stop to this sort of thing. The wholo object was to get people into the ilace to see nude women. He did not, lowever, think that Gilmore, a single ex ception, ought to be made a severe example of. He was fined $100. Jaw bulla.

Here is the law upon the subject m far M I can find it: The code of 1882, chapter 2, a *ctlon 197, My* that the compensation of the secretary of the Senate ■hall be $60 per day for each session, aud the com pensation of the clerk of the House of Representa tives shall be $70 tier day for each aessiou. Section 209 of the same chanter says: The secre tary of ths Senate and clerk of the House of Repre sentatives must, within ten days after the adjourn ment of the session, file in proper order all the pa per* and documents of their respective houses. Section 291 of the same chapter says: • • * And thetreMurer shall not pay their several salaries until such certificate (of the proper filing of the pa pers referred to in section 200) is produced. SectioP H of the constitution says: The officers of the two houses, other than the President and Sneaker, shall be secretary of the Seuate and clerk or the House or Representatives, and such assist ants a* they may appoints; but the clerical expenses of tbe Senate shall uot exceed $60 per day for each session, nor thoM of the House of Representatives $70 per day, for each session. It will be seen very clearly that the constitution meant that the clerical expenses should bo limited to $60 per day for the Henate and $70 for the Hon<*o for the session, and that it contemplated no extrM ' »r services after adjournment. The code already defines that it shall be the dnty of tbe secretary or the 8cnato and the clerk of the House to attend to certain duties after adjourn ment before they can get their pay for the session. Take the past summer session and what are the facts in the raae? Mark A. Hardin, clerk of the House, received $70 per day for tho aesaton, which 1mted 100 days. His pay wm $7,000.

The sheriff took Burnett and led him through tbe dense crowd of negroes to the door. “One moment'” thundered Judge Wright, a* he towered up. “Your Honor, I wish to know if you will release the witness when he concludes to an swer that question?" Hia Honor assured him that he would. “I sup pose," said Gen. Gartrell, “that this suspends tho case for the present." But it did not.

At 3 o'clock to-day the State closed In the Pledger- Defiance case and operations were BUiqiended until to-morrow on account of tha iudisposltion of Judge Wright Tbe Judge stated that he was suffering from a wrench in the back which he got sometime ago in dismounting from a stri ct car and added, “I am looking for this ailment to taka me off suddenly at any time—but (to the conrt), sir, I have the con solation of knowing that I am prepared to die." Burnet the editor, will spend tbe nlgnt in jail. He refuses to talk for the preM. He Is afraid that he might criminate himself, yon know. Pledger looks decidedly solemn. The evidence is strong against him and it would seem that he is on bis lMt legs. Balance $3,728 Divide that amoant by 100, the number of day* _f the session, and it will be seen that Mr. Hanllu received for hia service (37.28 per day. But this is not all; a resolution of the House pro- vided that the clerk of the House should remain over not longer than five days, to finish up bis busi ness. The code says he shall oonclnde it In ten days after adjournment of the seeslon. The reso lution docs not mention any pay therefor, and the code and constitution Intend that he shall have none; but the treasurer grants Mr. Uanltn $<350 therefor. Now, a* a matter of fact, Mr. Hardin’* services could be dispensed with two days after the adjourns. i, if he is t jourmm nt (which la prohibit d by the constitution, which limits hia pay to so much a day per session,), surely U could never be the Intent of the law to five him individually $7o per day tor remaining, when he ia only allowed that per day for himself and clerks. It would seem that the $37.28 j*er day for the session would be sufficient remuneration for his staying over and completing hia work cm prescribed by the codo a* already quoted. IT IS HOT FABTY FOUCT. Now,’ m to the clerk's having left over $37.28 for himself out of the $70, I am warranted In saying that that wm never contemplated by tha Uw, nor is it party policy. Besides, it ia known to many mem bers that business might bare been expedited Iu the hut House bad there been more clerks. In many cases members of committees bad to act m their own clerks becauM there were no other clerks to do it I recall the agricultural committee's giving a cane to Mr. Upson, a member, for efficient services m clerk, while Mark A. llardin wm pocketing $37.28 per tUy. Besides this phase, the policy of the party la to divide the patronage m much as possible. In Mr. Hardin's case there wm no division; It wm all a gobble. Take, for Instance, tha pay of Mr. Turner, one of the two engrossing clerks. He got only $3 per day. when he wm engrossing about one-balf of all the blUsof the House, besides acting a* reading clerk very frequently. It wm some time **o that Mr. Calvin, of Rich mond. had th* house pees a resolution to the effect that it wm the sense of the House that, m far as possible, lady clerks should be employed to do the engrossing. Well, It wm a wise move towards opening tha way for honorable employment for Southern women. The result under Mr. Hardin is gratifying, in that the ladies were allowed to makg $353 out of the $7,ouo allowed for clerical expenses. SECRETARY OT THE BERATE. ud to the secretary of tbe Senate, he ia allowed $60 per day for the seealon, and a resolu tion allow ed him to remain over five days after ad journment. but. If 1 am not mistaken. Mr. Harris went home two or three days thereafter, and be get* the pay of $60 per day for the limit of time, $$00. lie * Meeting of University Tru«tecs. The board of trustees of the State Uolveroity met at tbs Kimball House this afternoon at 3 o’clock. Of the thirty-three about seventeen were present.
