into widening fields of public duty. Local
self-government, then, is itself the COM
mon-school Of political life. 1t presents the
principle of representative government Units
most concrete form, and trains the citizen
to the habit of regarding the man for whom
ne votes as a public servant to be held re-
sponsible for the faithful execution of The
duties entrusted to him. In country
where it does not exist, Republicanism as
form OF National government is scarcely
possible, or if the form is found, the sub
stance. at least, is likely to be wanting.
We, therefore, heartily agree with THE
STATE JOURNAL in the opinion that the
trustees of public schools in Virginia should
be elected by the people in the districts in
which they are to serve, and not appointed
by state board of education.n

THE postal telegraph bill, introduced by
Senator Ramsey, chairman of the commit
tee on postofIices and post roads, before
the holidays, is now being considered by
the postofiice committee of the Senate.
Mr.. Hubbard, an advocate of the bill, and
Mr. Orion, president Of the Western
Union, opposed to the bill, are both allowed
satisfactory hearings, already each con-
Stunning about four hours of the commit
tees attention. The bill provides for the
establishment of telegraph Office in each
postotfce on telegraph circuit, aud in
each postottice within ten miles of any
circuit where the salary of the postmaster
is $500 ard upwards, the government
being required to furnish room, free
Of charge, for the same. All messages
are to be prepaid by stamps printed by the
government, and to be sold by all estab-
!shed telegraph offices. The government
Is also required to deliver without cost, 10
each person addressed within half mile of
the postoflice; or if the Office be u letter
carrier office, within the circuit of the let
ter carrier circuit. Five cents on each
message to be retained by the government
as compensation for Office room, the print
ing and sale of stamps and the delivery of
messages. No message is received less
than 25 words at the following rates !:
Under 100 miles, 25 cents over 100 and
under 200, 35 cents; over 200 and under
800, SIS cents; over 500 and under 750, so
cents over 100 and under 900, 81; any
distance over 900 miles SIPS. If sent by
night the rates are more than one-half less.
For every five additional words or less,
one.lilth extra charge will be made.
The rate Of charges to the pless,
for every 100 words $50 miles are not
TO exceed 81 by day and rs cents by night.
Where the same dispatch is duplicated and
delivered at the same Office only 10 cents
additional charge will be made and when
the same dispatch is dropped at the diff
ferent offices on the circuit, the charges
not TO exceed 70 cents by day and so cents
by night.
The bill further provides that the tele-
graph lines operated under the act are to
be denominated post routes and under the
direction of the Postmaster General. The
same law governing the protection and
secresy OF the transmission of letters
through the mails now shall be applicable
to the postal telegraph.
We believe in the principle of this bill,
as advocated for several years past by
Mr.. Hubbard. 1t is the only one likely
to pass. and would enable the people to
get cheap rates without owning or build
ing their own lines.

EvEN'o, JAN. "a, 1874.
THE FUNDING BILL.

The Wing of this morning explains its
recent silence on the funding bill by saying
that it considers the decisions Of the courts
a fnality. But the question forever
arises in regard to all decisions of courts,
" was the judgment iust?" The Wing no
doubt has an opinion upon this question
and the people also. And no unjust deci-
sion can ever be final We advise the
Legislature now, as heretofore, to seek the
settlement of this debt question in the
only logical method, to wit: the ascertain
ment by competent authority of the relative
Obligations of Virginia and West Virginia.
This can be done by the U. S. courts or by
commission of publicists, whose deci.
sion should be accepted as rule by each
state. Upon this ascertainment a settle
nent can no doubt be made with the cred
itors on far more favorable terms than
those of the funding bill.
The Wing closes its article by giving the
following traing task to the finance COM
mittee
The distinguished chairman OF the
finance committee, with his able associ.
ates, must solve the problem. They must
double the amount of revenue, and yet moi
increase the rate of taxation. Can new
subjects sufficient be found ? We think
the committee will so find but whether
gentlemen who have not the nerve to pro-
tect the owners Of sheep against the worth
less ours of more worthless masters, will
boldly stand up to their duty and sustain
the committees report when made, time
alone will telln

ESTABLISHED 1S4


In the senate yesterday a resO luton
was offered and laid over TO adjourn
congress on the twenty-secOnd Of June.
Senator Aleorn introduced bill to pro-
vide for the appointment, by the secre-
tary Of war, Of commission Of three
army officers and two civil engineers, TO
investigate aud report s permanent plan
for the reclamation of the alluviSl basin
of the Mississippi river subject TO inun-
dstion. It was referred TO the commit
tee on levees of the Mississippi. The
appropriation bin occupied the at
fention Of the senate the remainder
Of the day. In the house, Mr..
Hays moved to suspend the rules, aId
pass the bill authorizing the President
To furnish rations and clothing to the
starving and destitute people on the
Tombigbee, Warrior and Alabama riv-
ers. Mr.. Willard suggested to include
the sufferers by the flood in Masssehu-
setts, but Mr.. Hays declined TO include
them. The bill was passed-yeas l4li
nays 6S. An amendment to the post
Office appropriation bill, providing over
three hundred thousand dollan to pay
mail contractors in the southern States,
was defeated, the affirmative not re-
onfvinr the necessary two-thirds vote.
4 resolution was introduced instructiBg
fhe President to provide, in future treat
les With foreign powers, that war shall
not be declared by either contracting
mower against the other, till an effort
has been first made to settle the
cause OF ofense by impartial arbitration.
Mr.. Poland moved to suspend the rules
and riopt the resolution for the appoint
neBt of a seleCt committee Of five to
proceed to Arkansas and inquire into
the disturbed condition of govern
ment affairs there, and to ascertain
whether that state hiss q government,
Republican in form, with officers duly
elected and which ought to be recognized
by the government Of the United States.
Mr.. Niblaek suggested that South Caro-
lina be also included in the resolution,
and Mr.. Randall suggested Louisiana,
but objection was made. The resolution
vyas rejected.

ly ms the burial facilities permitted. One
poor fellow worked alone for an hour
around the wreck of his own house
which was carried away a half mile from
its place. He lifted up the boards and
TIM bers very carefully, peering inside OF
them so anxiously that a throng soon
ass embled around TO watch his move
ments.
''I'sI HUNTING FOR MY WIFE"
he said, when questioned; "she was in
the house when the flood came, and che
must be near it now" Those who tried
to help him were scarcely able to do 90,
because he would have each board lifted
as carefully as If the body lay below. He
worked until late in the evening before
he learned that ber body was among
those found on Warmers flats. The
gate keeper of the reservoir says he has
lived in constant expectation Of break,
and has often called-Sae attention OF his
superiors to its unsafe condition. The
accident has caused great apprehension
among the residents along the west
branch of Mill river, of which
THE GOSHEN RESERVOIR
is the head and which joins the east
branch at Williamsburg. 1t is in all
respects similar to the Williamsburg
reservoir. To-day a petition numerously
signed, was sent to the company
owing it, asking to have it emptied at
once and the dam strengthened. Pop
ular apprehension run so high that the
citizens threatened to take the matter
into their own hands and break the dam.
The company promised to do whatever
is necessary at once.
