THE PRESS IN VIRGINIA.


The RiCbmOnd Whjg, Petersburg IRdex and
Charlottes Chronicle, three of the abIest

of white and black men.

Wages OF iamplo,yess.

The New York Times notices the
fact that many clerksin the leading
mercantile houses in that city are re-
ceiving less pay now, in greenbacks,
than they or their predecessors re-
ceived in gold before the war. When
one considers the way in which prices
have doubled or trebled. during the
interval, it is evident that such re-
duction is not just, and is of very
doubtful policy, even in an, econo-
mical point of view, especially on the
part of merchants, whose clerks
ought to have at least a sufficient in
come to prevent them from disho-
nesty.
The Times seems to think that it is
o bad rule that will not work both
ways. It says that the answer of the
employers to this state of facts is,
that the dullness of business will not
permit higher salaries. But, asks
the Times, why should the wages of
an employee be docked in proportion
to the dullness of the times, and
not be increased in ratio to the brisk
ness of the times? The truth is, that
not only present, but past profits
should be considered, in so bridging
over an Improbable season rs not to
decrease a faithful employees wages
to less than fair living
And this is sound principle, both
in theory and practice. A well-paid
employee, feeling that his services
are properly appreciated, and that
some interest is taken in his welfare
and comfort, beyond the mere dole
ing out of his stipulated wages, reci-
procates that appreciation and kind
ness, by making his employers
interests his own, and carefully watch
ing every opportunity of promoting
them. Such relation between en-
ployer and employee, in every depart
ment of business, makes the latter
cheerful and contented, and will
always be found the cheapest for the
former

UNIVERSAL MONETARY SYSTEM
convention of representatives from
sixteen Governments of Europe has
been called to meet this week in Paris
to devise universal monetary system
in the interest of the whole world.
The economy and convenience of
such change in commerce can be
understood from rejecting how much
time (which is money! is now wasted
i'll reckonings of exchange. 1t will
do away with that perpetual inter
change of values which forms so pro-
minent part of the daily duty of
hundreds of thousands of entry
clerks and book-keepers throughout
the world. This is supplementary
step to that change of weights and
measures to the decimal system which
is progressing the world over, and
which the last Congress established
for our country, to go into operation
after fixed future date.

operate Singing in Church.

8 MEssRs. ED1roRs: This style of
music, lately introduced into our
churches, seems out of place and un-
suited to the ''House of Prayer" :"
These airs have no association with
our holy religion. On the contrary,
they are purely worldly, and inspire
the worshipper and listener with
other than high and holy thoughts.
Many are attracted by it to the
church, but who go there with no
other object than that for which they
would attend an opera or theatre
merely to listen to and admire these
gay and lively performances-per-
tormances. it is to be feared. Ito say
the least of them, too often void Of
the esprit and the understanding"
Besides, these airs are such as the
congregation cannot generally join
in, and the singing is confined exclu-
sively to the choir, and the former is
deprived of taking part in the most
beautiful and pleasing part of wor
ship. The church should have q
music Of her own-a music adapted
to the spirited, enlivening and solemn
hymns. There are dear and sweet
associations with her old airs. And
rather than initiate the world in its
love Of novelty and change-novelty
and transpositions are the fancies and
the faults of the day-lct her con-
tinue in the cold paths" undeviat-
ing and unweary. \ **

NORTH CAROLINA LEG1sLATURE-
We noticed, the other day, n para
graph from the Wilmington Journal,
Fin relation to what we thought was
to be an extra session of the North
Carolina Legislature. The journal
explains as follows:
The Columbia Ph@ni.c copies our
remarks in regard to the August ses-
sion of the Legislature, under the
heading of can Extra Session of q
Legislature, with surprise, "as it
was not supposed any session of n
Legislature would be permitted to bo
held in the Military Districts until
after registration and subsequent
elections.
The session referred to is not an
extra one, but merely the continue
tlon of the last, which adjourned to
meet in August, and we can see no
moro reason why it should be inter
fered with than the meetings of the
Common Council of the city of Co
lumbia, or the sessions of the Courts
of North or South Carolina. In
either case, the members were elected
before the passage of the military
bills, and in each they form part and
parcel of the Provisional Govern
ments permitted to these States.
In fact, there exists strong and pc
culiat reasons why our Legislature
should meet at the designated time.
rs the orders of General Sickles
changing the criminal code of the
State makes imperative the necessi.
ty of building penitentiary Mt once.
The same power which makes it in
cumbent upon the State to provide
for the vast number of convicts who
now crowd the County jails in expen-
sive idleness and without sufficient
security, would hardly be acting
Justly to deny her the only means by
which the proper measures can be
adopted to provide for their safe
keeping and hard labor.

ANOTHER IRISH FAMINE. Great
dsstitution is said to prevail in the
Western portion of Ireland. The
Rev. II. FiDcraw, Catholic priest,
of County Galway, writes that the
money contributed for Fenian pur-
poses might be much more usefully
spent i'll relieving the widespread
distress. He says: sit is painful to
record that We have n recurrence of
the great distress which struck down
so fearfully the people of Ireland in
the famine years of 1917 and rs.
There is ut present distress of II
most alarming nature, and which, if
not met Mt once and relieved, will
place before our eyes some such heart
rending scenes of starvation as we
witnessed in the former years of ia
mine. [ myself have seen number
of people who have not tasted food
for two days. This fearful distress
has been occasioned by severe win
ter and failure of the crops"

DIR. MOTT.

From sketch of the lie of the
celebrated Dr. Nott,s of New Or
leans, which appears in the New. Or
leans Crescent, we make the following
extract. DIR. Mott, as many of our
older residents know, was native of
this city, and soon obtained q high
place in the front rank of his profess
sion: Il
Science and society have, in the
death of DR.. G. A. Mott, sustained q
loss which it is at least doubtful if
his former colleagues will be able to
repair. Genial and generous, high
toned and scrupulous to a degree
that some would even criticise, read
in general literature to an extent but
seldom attained by so thorough and
exact professional man, kind to tire
poor, o warm and true friend, he was
beloved by the students aud gra-
duates of the University, esteemed
by his associates, adored by his
friends, admired by all with whom
he came in contact, and leaves no.
thing behind him or his name but
honor and sympathy.
And yet disease of body and mind,
which he manfully refrained from
exposing to the gaze of the world,
long weighed upon him. We shall
not attempt to lift the veil in which
he quietly shrouded it, any further
than to say, that the loss of his be-
loved wife, whom he loved and ho-
nored as the best of women, not
without cause, was shock from
which he never recovered.
Yet, as from the first, so to the
last, he performed the duties of his
chair, and filled his place in society
as became him. He was born in Co
lumbia, South Carolina, on the 29th
of June, 1916. OF his early days, we
know comparatively little. His ia
ther, Judge Patterson, a gentlemen
of the old school, highly esteemed in
all the relations of life, took the
highest pride in the education of his
family, and Gustavus profted by it
as well, in his way, rs his eminent
elder brother, DR.. Joshua c.. He
graduated in the Medical Department
of the University of South Carolina.
and shortly afterwards went to Paris,
where he remained for a couple of
years, increased his practical know
ledge in his profession, and his
knowledge of the French language,
with the literature of which he was
richly informed. On the 10th of
October, 1916, he was married to
Miss Hannah Patterson, daughter of
Judge Patterson, a worthy legal as
sociate of his worthy father. About
1887, he came to New Orleans, and
in the following year he was elected
Professor of Anatomy in the Medical
College, now department of the
University of Louisiana. In 1910,
he resigned the Chair of Anatomy,
and returned to South Carolina. In
1913, he returned to New Orleans,
was elected to that of Materia Nedica,
and this he continued to fill with
efficiency and worth to the day OF his
death.
