so popular did he become, that after tho
tragic death of Smith, IN 1911, he became
president. 1t was under his leadership thas

Lower James River.

The brief local report in Saturdays Dis
patch Of hurried examination made of the
lower James river by Major WHITCoMB Is
very gratifying. and whets the desire to
hear further. The system Of improving
the navigation OF the river that has been
adopted where fairly tested has been en-
tirely successful. Shoal water generally
occurs where the river widcns, and the
water is sometimes spread out upon broad
flats. BY bringing the shores nearer to
each other by wing-walls the current IS
confined to a narrower channel, and its
current deercns by securing out
its own bed. In tidal streams this
system is unQucstionably efficient. 1t
is philosophic aud practical, and has
proved successful wherever tried. Ger
tainly its trial in James river has been so
satisfactory that we all look forward with
entire faith in the pructicability OF obtain
ing a depth OF channel sufficient for our
maritime commerce, with the assurance
that it may be maintained with ease and
economy. ..
The principle is the same as that carried
out in the EAps ietties, and river cities on
tidal waters may look upon it As very
great blessing. ...,..

The Drowned District.

The inhabitants Of the lately-drowned dis
trict are rather out Of temper with their
| places OF business. None OF them We're
themselves drowned, but they think that
the Inconvenience OF removing their goods
and the unplessantness OF being deluged
with muddy water along with the contents
of sewers, the drainage OF sewage heaps,
and many other things offensive, cannot be
endured again. 1t will take great deal Of
drying and dsinfcction and pertaining, and
also great deal of paint and washing and
scrubbing, to make the lateiy-submergcd
apartments habitabc.
The rents OF houses In the Inundated re-
gion must be impaired by the danger of

while it.would not be entirely safe from nc
cident; and an accident there would entail
the most fearful cquenccs. One OF the
warn,ost advocates of Mr.. ErLETT's scheme
was the late RICHARD ANDERSON, wboowned
several ships then sailing between James
river and Liverpool or London. A gentle
man asked him what wonld he think OF the
Greyhound-oue OF his fine ships-fast on
the rocks Of the falls. The question cleo
trifed him, and he turned fright about"
and opposed the scheme, which, indeed.
waned from that time, and died ont.
The proposition for a ship-basin also In
cludes the ship-canal; but this basin could
not interfere with toe river any more than
the river with it. It's beauty is that it ac-

quiet ships, steady and uninterrupted ladins
and unlading OF vessels.

The Basin---Mr. Elicit.

Our respected correspondent "Virginius"
is mistaken in supposing we have erred
concerning Mr.. ELLETr's plan Of ship
basin. We only omitted TO say that he pro-
posed to bring ships into his basin through
canal cut from the river through the Falls
plantation. That was indeed part OF Mr..
ELLETT's plan, but it rather brings out in
holder relief the defect in his plan. The
wonder is that man whose mind was SC
clear did Dot see the propriety of locating
his basin right in the land through which
he proposed to cut his ship-canal. When
he got into the river, which he pro.
posed to dam, he ran into budget
OF objections. The dam in the river

biennial Sessions OF the LesislafNre.-'
when they Begin.


The Richmond Dispatch has unearthed
an act OF the last Legislature, which we
had not before noticed, that completely up
sets the theory of Gan able lawyer" whose
article, copied from the State, we published
the other day. It proves conclusively that,
after the present session, the Legislature
will not meet again until 1870. We were
NOT aware, we confess, that the last Legis-
lature had passed the following provision
to wit: ;,
..The General Assembly shall meet on
the first Wednesday in December, 1877, and
every two years thereafter"
The above settles the question that the
LEGISLATURE lust chosen will hold but one
session, beginning on Wednesday next,
unless some extraordinary emergency
should require it to be called together next
winter. or at some period prior to the cleo
ton OF its successor. The arrangement
| therefore for biennial sessions is now IN
| full force, except as to the number OF mem
bers provided for in the constitutional
| amendments. 1t will devolve upon the
General Assembly this winter to reappor-
ton the State so as to reduce the number OF
members OF the Senate and the House to
be elected in November. 1879. The constl-
| tutional provision is not as clear and Tree
from ambiguity as it might be, so that
question could be raised as to its precise
meaning; but as the legislature ana tn p,
Goyernor-tl,e latter in signing the blll
containing the last provision citea-naYe
construed If, and that IN ACCORDANCE VIII
| tbe wishes OF vast majority OF the people

body will undertake to contest the matter
in the courts. For ourselves, we may eX.
