City Wealth and Charities.

The will of the late JOINS HoPK ms pre-
sents TO us the wonderful power Ct CON-
suerce for the concentration Of wealth, anG
she good that may be done with wealth when
it falls into the hands OF a generous man,
who takes pleasure in bestowing it for the
benefit of society. That will gives TO the
purpose Of establishing and cndowing the
Johns Hopkins University, near Baltimore,
about $1,000 ZOO, and TO the hospital which
he founded about S., 100000. There are va
sious donations Of considerable sums to
charitable purposes, but the two above
named are the principal gifts for public ben
eft.
The Johns Hopkins University will have
an annual endowment Of probably $3.50, 900.
In comparison with this liberal endowment
how very small are the means of the Uni
verslty of Virginia, built and nurtured by
the State. That institution stands amongst
1he FIRST in the nation for scholarship. Its
standard Of graduation is the highest 10 the
Juion, and it has sent forth to The walks Of
public life some of The ablest and most dis
tiasuished men OF the age; aud We, it has
but $4,000 per annum given it 10y the State,
and that donation is liable to be suspended
by any Legislature. Indeed, it more thun
,;t..,. will be stopped should the ciyil-rights
hin, Now ns,. ling in Congress be passed.

his office of district judge in Louisiana pro-
vdcd he receives in lieu of it second-rstc

statement is true because it appears in print:
but, really. such has been the tolerance Of
incapaci;y and taithlc>sness in public office
by the Administration that we should not
be surprised at any impudence Of which
such man as DURELL may be guilty. 1t is
said he is asSSious to swap places now, as
there is some probability Of his impeach.

ney-Gencral WILLIAMS he confirmed as Chief
Justice, how will things appear? The Al
torney-General has bolstered up KELLOGG

him to behold from his high place on the
bench of the highest court in the land the
dissccting of the outrages that he sustained.
But wesuppose partisan discipline is yet too
well in force to permit any such untoward
events for the Republican party.

such gifts to learning and beneyoleucc come
nearer home. We canno. say that they VIII
impair the usefulness Of our own schools,
but they certainly impress us with the COM
paratiyely limited means to which our own
famous institutions are left for support.
A lesson to be learned from the donations
of the wealthy Baltimorcan is the great bene'
fits TO State Of having within its boundaries
a prosperous and growing city. Mr.. HOP
KIss, as stated, conceived that he was in
debtet, to Virginia in great degree for his
vast wealth, and he expressly desired that
Virginia students should be admitted to the
benefits of the university his will provides
for.
And why has not Virginia such city as
Baltimore and such men as the late Mr.. HOP
x!Ss to gratefully return TO the State the for
tunes they might acquire through her rich
commerce? Had Virginia acted with Wis
dom, and had she concentrated her energies
upon the building Of one great city, ihstead
Of souaudering her means in the fruitess at
:erlpts to build up half-dozcn, she would
have had such city, aud she would have
had her millionaire, and such g city
would have secured to those other cities
which the State idly attempted to make pros
porous degree of wealth and populousness
which long, long years will lot confer upon
them.
Thus Virginia has crippled her own COM
mcrce, whilst her resources have enriched
cities and people of other States. So, too,
her children have departed to other lands
for the want of occupation at home, and
have devoted their talents and energies to
the honor and prosperity of far distant
States. 1t is true she has honor-a blessing
to be highly priced but that >he might have
retained even had she not failed to take care
of herself. And it cannot therefore be looked
upon as consolation for lost opportunities.

The Vfrginin State Fair.

from the Petersburg Index and Appeal.
From all of the sources Of information in
regard to the coming State Fairaccessible to
lis we gather the intelligence that it will be
one of the most attractive ever held in the
Commonwealth. Richmond is pledged to
do her "level best to make it a grand sue
cess, and all that she needs is the coopcra-
ton of the people VI the State at large. To
this end We would lend our voice to its ut
most extent, believing that these fairs
exercise q most benefcent Influence
upon all Of the people Of the State. Out
side of agricultural Improvement, to
which they minister, there are num-
berleSs influences for good which these
annual State exhibitions exercise upon all
classes of society. The social privileges of
such occasions are invaluable. The farmers
of the Tidewater, the Piedmont, and the
Valley meet together as friends and fir-
ginians. They compare views on every
subject relating to their calllngs and to the
interests Of their common mother, the OLD
Commonwealth. There is, on such occasions,
a commingling Of the tobacco-crafts and the
bovine aristocracy which could nowhere else
he found or brought about. And although
their systems OF agriculture and thelr larm
operations may be widely divergent, yet they
meet as Virginians at the capital OF their
State. and by acquaintance and friendships
formed they are bound closer together as
feIlow.citizens. These fairs do great good,
TOO. in the dissemination of useful intelli-
gence in all of the branches of human indus
fry. This is the practical purpose of their
institution, and well do they come up to the
objects of their organization. No country
man or farmer can attend one of these exhi-
billions without carrying back to his home
and neighborhood new ideas and broader
views in regard to everything affecting his
calling. AS institutions calculated to pro-
mote State pride, love for our common mo-
Their, and all social feelings and enjoyment,
they are invaluable, outside of the opportu-
mites they afford for the dissemination Of
intelligence and useful knowledge. u

There was much comment here OH the

astonishment expressed that it had not be-

1t is reported OH the street this morning
that Major Mcmahon has never been natu-
rallied. and that he intends doing SO to-day.
Thus we see that the two candidates put
forward by the Radical party in convention
at Lynchburg for the Govenorship of Vir-

Monday the 20,h day of October, 1873,
James Burke was called 10 the chair and j

Colonel II. H. Robertson briefly stated
the object Of the meeting was to take action
upon the nomination made by the Conserva'
tiyes Of Craig OF j. j. A. Lee to represent
the counties rof Craig and Allegheny in the
next House OF Delegates. E1
After hearing Major Spessard, Conserva
tive superintendent of Craig, in support of
Captain Lees nomination, and Captain C.
G. Hill, of the same county, in opposition
thereto, on motion the action Of the Craig
Conservatives was unanimously ratified and
confirmed, and Captain Lee declared the
nominee, who thereupon returned thanks
for the honor conferred, and pledged him.

. The large audience present was then en-
tertaincd for some time by Judge Marshall,

On motion, the thanks of the meeting
were rendered the orators of the day for
their able and eloquent addresses, and the
meeting adjourned.
notwithstanding the Indictment weather,
the attendance upon the Conservative meet
ing held here to-day was unusually good.
Captain Lees nomination gives general salts
