The Cincinnati Enquirer, a few doys
since, had a column article on the $50
loan and the National finances. which
made curious exhibition of supporting
the Government. We can only refer to
point or twoin the article, containing,
however, alEthere was in it, for the rea-

through which to convey the poison.
AVerring that grave men, 'iudicious
men,, have7decided Investments in Uni

&c, the article proceeded:
We would not set ourselves up to
gainsay what grave and judicious finan-
ciers, who have examined and delibera-

Local and State News.

SUPERINTENDENT OF PgBtIe ScHooLs.--
The Legislature yesterday elected a Stat
Superintendent for the Public Schools
Prof A. F. Ross, of this county, who was
Chairman Of the COMMITTEES which framed
the School Law, and who has done more to
forward the educational interests of Yves
tern Virginia than any member of the
former Legislature, and Prof VIM. R. White,
of Marion county, were candidates. Prof.
White wis elected on the first ballot, by
vote Of forty three to sixteen.
We are by no means an advocate OF either
candidate. We do not know. Prot. White
mot even by reputation-he may, and we
expect he is as well qualified to discharge
tbe duties Of the Office as his opponent
But after Prof Ross had spent near year
in perfecting School Law foritbe State,
we think it would have been but giving
"honor to whom honor is due" to have
elected him State superintendent. 1t
would have been strange, however, if man
from this region had been elected. No
man residing within fifty miles of Ohio
county can be elected to Office by this Leg
islature. A man, to secure position by a
vote Of this august body, must hail from
Marion or Wood county.

OUTRAGEoUs.-AbO a week ago number
of the soldiers encamped on the Island Ell
tered the saloon of Peter Benner and rob
bed it of about fifty dollars. This was
done in broad day light, the soldiers pre-
senting revolvers and threatening destruc-
ton in case of resistance Before daylight
yesterday morning number of the men
broke open Benners house and carried off
halt key of ale, about ten dollars worth
of cigars, an overcoat, revolver, and
number Of other articles, the whole
amounting to about fifty dollars. Benner
mado complaint. as he had done before.
when he was inform. that the offenders
would be ferreted out.
We are Of the opinion that the interests
of the city demand an additional police
force. During the past week or two many
petty thelts and street fights have occurred.
The policemen are not ubiquitous, hence
many offenders escape. An additional
force may prevent much less of property
and secure Eeace and quiet in our city.
