Enconslsteucy-Prin the Records

EncOnStSfency-Prin ene lsecOFuS.
In 1866 the Legislature abolished the Of
fees Of public printer and Senate printer,
aud enacted that all the work heretofore per-
formed by those officers should be let By
contract to the lowest bidder undar super
iutendent of public printing. Previous to
the war.all the State printing paid for out OF
the treasury was done by the aooge-name1
printers, except the records OF the Court OF
Appeals, which were LET TO CoHrR ACT, and
the LOWEST BIDDER executed the WORK. This
system prevailed up to the close OF the war,
the work of printing the records having
been done by three Offices at different Pc
RODS, under contracts, Notwithstanding there
were printers regularly elected to do the
public work. After the Reorganization OF
the Supreme Court the CLERKS were allowed
to have the work done By whom they chose.
Recently bill was introduced iuto the
Senate to provide for letting the records 20
contract the same as oil other State printing,
but under control Of the respective clerks,
and to be done In the cities where the clerks
reside. This bill was referred to the Com
mittee for Courts Of Justice of the Senate,
and, with slight amendments, unanimously
reported with recommendation that it
pass. It was unanimously passed by the
Senate. In the HOUSE IL MAS IeieTIeu tO Tue
Committee for Courts of Justice, and
By them reported fayorably. 1t was again
recommitted, and yesterday morning the
committee reported adversely: suppose
because the clerks of the courts did not want
it to pass. And why not? Is the committee
convinced that the contract system is wrong?
If SO, why not alter the law in regard to ali
the work, and let the respective officers OF
Government have the work done by whom
they may elect? And if 1t h not wrong,
then why make an exception OF that which for
years was contracted for, while the rest was
not? Is the Auditor, who disburses millions
of the revenue, less competent TO have has
work done as it suits him, and by proper
persons, than these clerks Of the Supreme
Court? He cannot have circular printed
without senoing it to the superintendent OF
Printing. Why are not the clerks of the
Senate and House of Delegates allowed to
have their work done as it suits them?
The Legislature annually appropriates
from eight to twelve thousand dollars for
printing records and appropriation bills,
which is nearly one-haf as much as the
whole of the other public bounty. Why
this large amount of patronage be allowed
to be controlled by three clerks? The pr
ties litigant would like to hear the reason
for the Inconsistency explained.

There is no Virginian who has not an al
fiction for Petersburg. Tradition "eaVeS
the Golden threads of heroism and patriot
ism tbrouyh her honorable history. She
enioys proud title,-that of I" the cockade
town OF Virginia "-conferred by that extra
ordinary man JOHN RANDOLPH OF Roanoke.
Nv common consent this title was endorsed
by the Virginia public, and 1t has beer
worthily worn.
Therefore it is 10 the general public mat
ter of concern that this gallant town should
on the occasion Of the recent veto by the
Governor become excited to degree that
led to violent indiscretions. For ourselves,
we have not believed that the more reflect
ing portion OF the white people Of the town
approved the excuses that were committed.
But there has been no demonstration show
Ing their dissent from the acts Of probably
the younger and less consderale part of the
population. This, we regret to say, has for
the time diminished public sympathy With
them in their trying situation.
The Petersburg correspondent of this
paper said in his Saturdays letter that there
seemed to be ga universal approval Of the
~burning Of his Governor kEAPER's] cffigy
last night" Can this be possibler We
are not willing to believe it. Our CORE.
spondent had not properly canvassed the
town, we are sure. The Petersburg people
are gentle, civil, intelligent, liberal, and re
fined. That they could approve SO violen
and vulgar a manner OF giving vent to in
dignation we cannot believe. 1t Is on

cousin german to personal violence, and ever
amongst the more excitable classes Of PEG
pie Is not thought of save for the expression
OF execration for some great wrong or out
rage perpetrated by the public enemy or BY
some social leper. 1t vas the greatest error
to insult JAMES L. KEHpEE by such display
OF personal Indignation.
We Ia Virginia have too many trials and
troubles TO admit of divisions amongst our1
selves. Our whole solid strength Of Conser:

preserve the pe,ce Of our people. We can

j. A. Surby, who lives about twelve
miles from the city, and who cultiyates
plantation, Is great hunter. For the
past year he has been annoyed by large
panther. and until last Thursday night
has been unsuccessful in meeting the brute.
On the night mentioned he took his rifle,
which carries thirty-two TO the pound. and
proceeded TO derrick. where he had pre-
viously erected platform IN large tree.
He climbed up TO the perch aud ensconced
himself for nights watch for deer. He
heard these animals walking around i'm the
vicinity. and kept very quiet. waiting their
approach. While sitting there. with his
good rifle well in hand, he was astonished
TO see his old enemy-the cougar-glide
through the underground and climb into
tree few PAGES from his stand. The
beast was watching for deer too. Raising
his gun noiselessly, Surby took aim al the
magnificent animal, and the report saw
him fall a shapeless mass to the ground.
Surby lowered himself from his perch, and
forgetting all about venison IN his triumph
over the panther, walked up TO the dead
beast Suddenly the corpse rose into the
air with terrible spring, and lighting on
Surby's side--he having lodged in the
nick of time-tore all the clothing OFF the
left side of his body and limbs.
AS he swerved. the cautious. quiek-eyed
hunter dealt blow with his dubbed gun
at the panther, smashing the stock to
atoms. The wounded brute came again to
the attack, and slashed his antagonist from
top 10 toe, without. however. wounding
Surby. The latter. with nothing but the
barrel of his gun as weapon. drove ter
rible blow into the panther's skull and
fiattened him out.
The dimensions of the brute were nine
feet from the tip of his nose to the end OF
the tail. and he was royalty muscled and
beautifully marked. The hunter now has
the skin hanging as a trophy on the outer
wall of his dwelling. and Dabbs has the
shattered rifle, putting it into trim for an.
other bout with the wild beasts which
abound in Surby's northumberland
