IRON PIERS FoK DEEP WATER.

We have received Part First of a
work on the mode of constructing sub
aqueous works Of iron and stone, by Mr..
S. r. Dixon, Of New Haven, Conn, a
gentleman thoroughly and practically
versed in all that appertains to the branch
of civil engineering of which his work
treats. His newly patented method of
sinking iron cylinders, to any required
depth and through any opposing material,
to reach rock bottom, is fully set forth in
the valuable work before us. The process
by which this is done, though ex-
ceedingly simple, is still too min
utely explained in detail to be, re-
produced in our columns. Suffice it to say,
that the rapidity with which it can be done,
and its entire certainty Of success, renders
the invention of Mr.. Dixon one of the first
Importance to the engineering profession of
the country. The work is elegantly gotten
up is clear and precise in its language !;
faultless in its typographical execution;
and, in its illustrations and designs, equal
to anything we have ever seen in the en-
craving art. He will soon issue "Part
Second" and we are confident that, when
the whole treatise is completed, it will DO a

WE call attention to the proceedings OF
the National Virginia Settlement Associa-
ton, at their meeting held in Wylliesburg,
on Saturday last, that our readers may see
the importance of the work which this en-
ergetically-managed Association is forward
ing. The greatest source Of prosperity to
the State now lies in the direction of her
immigration. Her vaster sources re-
main in obeyance until the proper
conditions of this one are met and an
swered. We want not only agricultu-
ralists from abroad and from the
other States, but skilled mechanics and ar
tisans who shall come here with the pro-
per capitalists to make our State one of the
first in her manufacturing and mechanical
industries. This class will not only add
UNNECESSARILY to our prosperity in develop
ing the resources of the State, but create
centers of population for US, such as to
give home market for our farming pro-
ducts which we could in no other way have.
Let the Association push forward its work
of Immigration, and we shall soon see the
evidences of new life throbbing through
all our material industries. a.rrs. ss.

SOME Of the more scholarly gentlemen
of the press in the State are discussing tie
question whether the phrase, sit is me-"
is good English grammar or not. Now,
me is the objective of l, except where it is
used impersonally, as in methGks, or ex-
pletively, as in the phrase purpose me
to do this very thing" The French
phrase, c'est moi, has nothing to do with it.
That is idiomatic, and, hence, a departure
from the true grammatical structure.
Originally, it was no doubt c'est .je MOI,
but euphony requiring the retention of the
sxpletiye, the grammatical structure gave
way to the idiomatic. The same is true of
the Danish phrase referred to. Both
are idioms peculiar to their respec-
tive languages. st is me-" is not
only abominable English, but the lowest
possible vulgarism. What does "It'' in
the phrase refer to or stand for? If used
demonstratively, as it most certainly is in
the phrase, SIT is II it stands for or
refers to az" the subject of the verb is.
But, substituting the personal form for the
moro impersonal, we have the preposterous
phrase II is me-" The man who calls
that good grammar can take our ''hap' and
go to the head of the class. .s-..aa-

WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE.


The introduction of bill in Congress to
pay this institution for the destruction oil
its buildings by stragglers during the war,
recalls its early history: William and
Mary College, of Virginia, has had note
worthy history. 1t is, next to Harvard,
the oldest institution of learning in the
country, having been chartered by William
and Mary in 1893, and literally endowed
by them, in order to win over to the House
of Orange the loyalty to the Stuarts which
the Battle of the Boyne had failed to de-
ssroy in the Southern colonies. It beganto
receive students almost Immediately there
after, but its permanent buildings (Which
were designed by Sir Christopher Wren
were not finished until 1928. From that
time the College throve apace until 1853,
when the old buildings were completely
destroyed by fire. Within year they
were replaced, however, and Williamsburg
swarmed with students until May, 1861,
when the actual presence of war closed the
institution Its doors were soon opened
again for other purposes. The dormitories
were used first as barracks, and afterwards
as hospital for the Federal troops,
for the next year. From May to Septem-
Der of 1862 they stood tenantless. On the
| 9th of the latter month, the Confederates
carried the town, but, after few hours of
possession, retired, and portion of the
United States troops, who reoccupied it,
fired the college buildings. They were al
most entirely destroyed. A few days ago
a petition was filed for a grant of $4,000
in compensation for this outrage. The
petition was referred to the Committee
on Education and Labor, which
has just reported bill to appro-
pirate the amount asked for
The request is certainly a just one,
and yet the committees report says, Curl
ously enough: 1.-THE memorialists make
no demand as of right, or as an appeal to
the justice of the United States.
They do appeal to the generosity of the
government This seems poor policy. A
government, above aught else, should be
just before it is. generous. In fact, in it
generosity is no virtue, for the simple rea-
son that its exercise almost inevitably re-
suits in injustice to some one else.
The bill elected some discussion, but
will undoubtedly pass both houses without
serious opposition. @

the honor Of the State preserved, and its
resources left where they should be-in
the hands of the people for recuperation
and restoration to their former prosperity.
1t is possible that. the bondholders may
growl somewhat over this mode of adjust
ment. But they ought to thank their
financial stars and the suggestive good sense
of Mr.. Deneale, in helping them to see
daylight out of the financial muddle into
which the legislation of the last session
threw their entire claims against the State.
If they really held these claims for any
other than speculative or gambling opera
tons, they soould thank him; for they must
see that it offers the best prospect they have
yet had of ultimately realizing their claims,
dollar for dollar, from the State.
Besides the State valves all questions of
validity as to the outstanding bonds; it
takes them as they purport to be upon
their face, square honest debt, contracted
in good faith and solemnly binding, to the
letter. This ought to give the holders of
them no small relief, when they consider
the drift of judicial decisions in their dircc-
tor. r...-tr
With this amendment Of Mr.. Deneale,
the majority bill will so far modify the last
years bill, as to relieve the State, ~
First. From all liability to pay more
than her just and equitable proportion of
the public debt; leaving the creditors to
look to West Virginia for the balance.
Second. 1t relieves the people, in mea-
sure, from the compound-interest outrage
pcrpetrated upon them year ago, by rat
ing the interest at virtually four per cent.
Third. 1t saves the State from the GER
tain and inevitable bankruptcy which
threatened it, by making the coupons Oh
the bonds receivable for taxes. This fea-
ture of the last years bill is wiped out.
Fourth. 1t adjusts the interest in such
a way that the people can unquestionably
meet it as it natures.
Fifth. 1t relieves the State from any
greater discredit than that which the Fede-
raj government, with Washington at its
head and Alexander Hamilton shaping its
financial policy, was willing to assume
when it first entered upon its career O
prosperity at the close of the Revolutionary
war. ~ y
We regret that so important an amend
ment as that proposed by Mr.. Deneale
; should not have been more fully considered
by the House, inits somewhat extraordinary
session of last evening. But it is not to-
late to engralt some similar feature on
bill yet. Unless something is done to pre-
vent the Funding bill Of VI from becoming
the law of the State, Virginia has nothin,
but hopeless bankruptcy and inevitable re
pudiaton to encounter within the next tw'
years. Let her be saved this disgrace,
possible. .N.z r..s a.. 4s-.-a ..r
