The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1876-03-04

The editor of the Farmvle Aercpry Is as
warmly attached to the "South Side" as
We are to England, and he entertains as
much of prejudice against British people
and British interests as we against South
side people and Southside interests. In the
fewe.t words it was possible to use, we CALL
ed attention to charter which seemed to US
TO violate the Constitution. II it had passed
unehallenged, the courts would have been
called upon to decide the question Of it's
ooustitutionality; and much trouble might
have ensued. 1t is best for oil parties that
that question should be looked into before
the bill becomes law. or course, the man.
ufacturing companies in other parts of the
State will expect to enjoy the same privi'
leges which are by that charter accorded to
the Farmville company; and Richmond as
large manufacturing centre is SO far int
rested in the bill.
But the Mercury makes another point In
favor of the constitutionality of the char.
ter-that being the question at issue-a fol.
lows:
t'HaYing succeeded IN excluding our ctl-
zens from offices of State, the Dispatch now
goes the length Of seeking to deny us the
power Of selfdeVelopment."
That's better joke than the other. The
Secretary of the Commonwealth, JAMES Mo
DONALD, Is from Lynchburg; one OF the
Judges Of the Court of Appeals, Woop
BoULDIN, is from Charlotte; the Librarian,
GEORGE w. BAaBY, is from Buckingham ;
WILLIAM F. TAYLOR, the Auditor, is from
Cumberland 1--WE think), and S. 81. Bor'
KIN, the Register of the Land Office,
is from Isle Of Wight. R. E. WIrHERs,
United States senator, is also from Camp:
bell, and resided almost all his life in South
side Virginia. When he received the nomi.
nation for Governor this writer being a
member Of the convention and voting for
hiu) he was Lynchburg editor, and he
owes his present position entirely to that
nomination. In word, Southsrde Virgins
is thought by some Of the other sections to
have an undue share OF the State offices. Sc
far as weare concerned, we wouldn't care ii
she had all Of them.

selves to questions of taxation, OF finance, OF
economy in administration. we are consuming
the public time in the discussion OF questions
that can as;wcii wait as be considered now.
1t is not parliamentary to refer to the opinion
of other public servants In other spheres OF
public duty; but it is matter OF public
and general notoriety that there is no posi-
bilty OF any Pacific Railroad bill being re-
ported at this session Of Congress. It is
generally known that there is no possibility
of any action by either house of Congress on
this matter at this session.
Further than this, it is generally known
as matter of common consent that every
Virginia member Of Congress, senators and
representatives flor it is parliamentary to
refer more particularly to their opinions), be-
lieye and assert that non.action at this time
Is the Wisest course for the Virginia Legisla-
ture. Therefore I propose to postpone the
whole matter until the next session. But
there are other reasons feel at liberty to give.
1 do hope, and | intend to work for its
fruition, that after tbs 4Ih of March next our
friends will control this Government. 1t is
not wise for US to be thrustiDg on them
issues at this time. This very question now
before us may emh2rrass our friends in the
North during the coming campaign, and
am unwilling to compllcate the issues they
will discuss before the people. The very
fact alluded to by the senator from West
moreland that all the southern States except
Virginia have pronounced In favor Of his
preference self-satisfes me that it Is unWise
10 commit Virginia at this time, unless the
issue is forced on her.. .ot;. ~. I'D, t..s,
The great danger we face in this campaign
is that sill the South is united on candidate

ty-two votes to get possession OF the GOV

and you have q united North, and we, the

prefer that Virgins should not be included
in the solid ranks Of southern States. Ipre,

those of honest government, honest men to

STATE INSPECTION OF TOBACCO
Dec. goth, 1875.

Dec. 29th, 1875.
Messrs. Editors On nv return from
Baltimore, ] read with pleasure the
communication to the BEACON signed
tobacco Grower"
must confess. that ! did agree with
most growers of the weed, that we need
ed some change in the present inspcc.
ton laws, and that change was, to have
free inspection or private inspectors
not appointed by the Governor When
in Baltimore / gave much thought to
the matter, and am very fully satisfied,
that to change the present laws for the
inspectiR Of Dbacco, and allow pri-
vate inspe@ ION, would he calamity to
our Tobacco growing interest.
As it now stands, we are charged
nothing for inspecting our Tobacco, un-
less it be an occasional % cents for
cooperage. The private inspector might
commence with very moderate charge
for his trouble, but how long would it
be before be would charge outage,
storage and every other age imagina-
BILE? He will most certainly be under
the control of the buyers. ! believe
some of the inspectors are. now 50 much
alarmed by this talk, that it is now un-
der sampled. When in Baltimore I
had two bids. ground leaves on the
market. I saw most of the leaves
packed myself-they were very near
~ all good. In the samples saw at
the Commission Merchants. there was
not decent bundle in the ten.
When the buyers get possession Of
those hhds. we will hear nothing about
over sampled nor under sampled Tobac-
co. They viii laugh to know they
have bought it at half its value.
! believe the present inspection laws
should he SO changed as to require the
inspectors to draw ten bundles-keep
FIVE bundles in room at their ware
house and deliver FIVE to the agent
If the agent picks the sample, the buy
er can so show by referring to tie sam-
pie ut the warehouse. If the buyer
picks the sample (Which they often do)
and it is sert back. the inspector can
show it has been picked. regret the
Grange is on the fence about Tobacco
inspec,ien-of course the two private
houses RECOMMENDED by the Grange)
under centrol Of the buyers would do
all the inspecting. The buyers now lay
aside Tobacco inspected in No. 2 Ware
house, and say. 1--WE are not bnying
Tobacco inspected in that warehouse"
Are you, as n Tobacco grower, prepared
to lei the buyer INSPECT your tobacco,
give sample to suit himself and then
huy it: lie had as well act as agent
too. Inspect, sell and buy without any
one 10 interfere with him. This talk
about over sampled Tobacco is non
sense. The sworn inspectors do the best
they can, and if the buyers don't want
il at the low prices they pay, they can
let. it alone. We ought to hold public
meeting in Leonardiown and tell Messrs.
Mattinyiey and Dunbar to fight this
thing cut.

Nessrs. Editors Your correspondent
G.. seems to urge upon the Teachers the
necessity of keeping up Teachers AS
ISOLATION as means of mutual improve
ment and advancement in the art Of teach
ing, which means think is as necessary
for the successful progress of education
as good Teachers themselves; but how
can this or these associations lie kept
up without a mutual cooperation on the
part of tie teachers; ~ house divided
against itself must falr' as your CORES
pendent says. A year ago we had a
very propisin: association in Leonard
town, which thought was doing much
good. Why was it broken up? We had
very efficient and good officers, who
were able and willing TO devote their
time and talent for the benefit Of the
association. Why should any discord
have arisen !? Truly - house divided
against itself must fall" A few of the
Teachers who were located in aud near
Leonardtown, disregarding the iucon-
venience of those who lived at distance
and could not attend curing the cold
and iuciement weather of Winter, met
in Leonardtown and formed snb-assos
eiation in which the members of the
first association were either thrown over
board or had to go through new pro-
cess in joining the new, to which many
of the old members were opposed. Too
many aspiring to honor even in this
little association caused a good deal Of
the trouble. Core and Dxthan could
not see why Moses should be such q
great favorite with God, and said, they
had as much rDht to some Of the honors
bestowed asMoses and Aaron, for which
jealousy aud envy Core aud his follow
ers were swallowed up alive in the bowels
Of the earth. Truly "a house divided
against itself must fall" Unity Of feel
ing is the strength of every association,
without which none can prosper. am
ready and willing to give INV time aud
attention to \ teachers association, pro-
vided we can hare an harmonious one.
