April. In the last few days

I April. In the last few days session,
as those OF legislative eXperier ell know,
| it Is difficult to get any measure through
upon which discussion Is likely to arse, as
| there is invariably scramble in favor OF
uncontested private bills and great public
measures. .fa'g
II it is the sincere desire of the City
Council to have any amendment to the char
ter to reGrganize the Police Board adopted,
they should move forward to the accom-
plishment OF the object more rapidly than
they now appear to be doing. 1t will take
two or three weeks for the bill, when pre-
pared, to be introduced, referred to COM
mittee, acted upon, reported, brought up,
and passed, say by the House. Then it will
have to go to the Senate.
Any delay is dangerous to the measure,
and none not necessary ought to be made.
1t is not absolutely indispensable to have
the countenance Of the City Council in
this matter, but it is better to get it. The
people can present their views by petition
or by personal representation, and the Le-
gislature will hear them and accord them
such consideration rs they appear to be
worth. only after the Council neglects to
act, or when tits evident that procrastina-
ton will defeat the whole scheme, should
those who favor Reorganization Of the Po-
lice Board.
Whether the new Board should be em-
powered to re6rganize the force is a matter
about which there is two opinions; but that
the Board itself ought to be re6rganized is
a thing about which ninety-nine out Of
every hundred citizens are agreed.

/. THE AIRLINE AND IT'S DEvELoPMFNTs.-
Our readers are doubtless aware that the
Atlanta and Richmond Airline railway
has at last emerged from its protractcd liti-
CATION by sale under decree OF the Fed
eral court, which was confirmed by final
order OF the court some three weeks ago.
By this sale the bondholders became the
owners of the road, who will perfect their
organization by the election Of officers with
in the next thirty days. Now, for the first
time, this road may be said to be In an un-
embarrassed condition., and to be upon q
footing to look to the development OF the
country through which it passes. 1t
has been obvious, from the time OF
its construction up to the recent
sale, that it had to be sold, and
therefore those in possession We're COM
PEELED, upon correct business principles, to
look not to the development Of its interests
that would yield results at q future time,
but to the immediate present. They could
not in the past with propriety inaugurate a
policy looking to the development OF the
country through which the road passed,
and to which it must, in O great measure,
look for support. 1t has at last. however,
passed through that stage which great
many important enterprises, it seems, must
pass through-to-wit, u failure in the hands
OF those who build them, and transfer to
other parties who are to profit by them-and
we can now look forward to greater I'M
provements In the country along the line

DUEL FOUGHT IN VIRGINIA IN 1924.

In the account Of duel between George
Harrison and Richard Stephens, which was
fought in Virginia in 1924, printed in the
DauY Dispatch of oath of January last,
your correspondent says " Richard Stephens
must at least have been gentleman Of high
social position; but as we see no trace Of
him after the duel, he probably returned to
England" This, however, was not the
case. Richard Stephens held a high official
as we'll as high social position in Virginia
many years after this duel took place. He
was sworn member Of the Council
Of Vigrinia by John Harvey soon after
the Governors arrival in the colony
in 1929, and was one of those
who complained against Harvey's govern
ment, and ultimately forced the Governor
to return to England in July, 1885. to
answer the many accusations against him.
These were troublesome times, and there
was then, IS there had been any time for
the past twenty years, strong party feel
ing in Virginia, which eliminated ut this
period in the expulsion Of the Governor
from the colony. Stephens seems to have
been man OF decidedly quick temper; for
in the Notes made by Edward Nicholas, the
clerk, at meeting OF the Privy Council, ut
which the King himself presided, in De-
cember, 1886, it Is recorded that Sir John
Harvey had struck Captain Stephens,
councillor, because of his ill language.
After hearing all the charges against Har-
yev, the King commanded his Governor to
return TO Virginia; but through the ship,
the Black George, proving leaky, he was
forced, after sailing about twenty leagues,
to return to Sciliy, and thence to Ports
mouth, so that he did not again ar
rive in Virginia until January, 1857.
Harvey was superseded in the Government
br Sir Francis Wyatt, who was appointed
q second time the Kings Governor In JAN
saary. 1885, In letter dated from Point
Comfort on May 6, 1910, Harvey complains
to Secretary Winderbanke that bis estate
had been torn from him, and that his pas
sage to England was denied; and he re-
quests the Kings warrant to enable him TO
return, when he will give an account OF bus
services and sufferings. His many bodily
infrmities he declared to be beyond the
skill of the colony. Sir John Harvey was
Governor OF Virginia about eleven years.
From the following lists it will be seen that
Harvey held that Office much longer than
either of bis predecessors. Sir william
Berkeley, however, was Governor thirty
years.
Lord De La War;, 1910, June.
