Philadelphia Bulletin (Rep.)
1t is true, as Hancock observes in his
letter, that sit is vital principle in our

First-Regiment Armory.

IfOf blcpd tH'l
The Armory Committee u The First Regi-
mrnt Virginia Volunteers desires TO again
publicly call the attention OF the Council
and citizens interested TO their need OF an
armory.
The apathy Of the general public and the
disposition to regard such organizations as
the militia as useless and unnecessary are
the principal causes OF the delay, despite
the facts that
We have petition, signed by nearly all
Of the larger taxpayers, urging TINS matter
on the ground Of public safety, OF expedi-
ency, add for financial reason that the IN.
terest on the amount OF probable cost would
he less than the amount OF the annual APP
preparation from The city.
We have had the favorable promises OF
members OF the Council for over eight
years.
We have oil the encouragement possible
from every one 50 far rs fair words ana
promises are concerned.
Now, we ask that YOU VIII closely reason
over the following facts:
The moral eject Of an organized militia
in preventing any possible disturbance Is
very great. This i recognized by every
CITY in tBe country where the population Is
large cnOESU u udNt N1SAul OlhS StNhiN"N'
In its midst.
The ce,t to this city in assisting the citl-
zen soldiers has been comparatively very
small, though The appropriation has been
sufficit Mt to pay arnsOry rent.
The room used for an arm0ry IS small,
inaccessible, and totally unit for this pur-
pose.
The proposition rs reported by the
Grounds and Buildings Committee, 10 buy
the lot on the corner OF Seventh and Mar
shall streets. is one which would be very
satisfactory.
The location is good aud convenient to
officers and men.
The property cannot fall below the cost
Of purchase, and the probable interest on
the cost will 6e less than the annual appro-
prialion.
Added to oil Ibis, you will have building
which will ornament the city. and 1t can be
used for special purposes, such as the re-
ception Of large visiting bodies and for pub
he occasions.
The committee believes s'iat toe adoption
Of tins plan rs suggc-t' 4, iSid as already re-
ported on by the e. bounds and Buildings
Committee a. a site. VIII be a speedy, con-
venient, and satisfactory solution OF TIE
question. CHARLES J. ANDERSON,

ID. Wise tenders his resignation to COM
menca his cOngr' s>ional term. Some con-
tend that it il Judge WellfOrd's duty, and
others that il is Jude Christians Piac-
tically il can make NJ difference which ones
duly it is, as the offices OF The different
judges are now filed in the city, all
Of them having the highest esteem for
each other, and, we believe, all en-
joyIng the confidence OF the public.
But as the subicc' might present very diff
ftrent aspect hereafter, we deem II not in
appropriate to call atfcntion to the law,
which we think settles beyond question
that 1t is the duty of Judge Christian, OF
the Hastings Court, to bill any vacancy that
may occur in This office during tue term by
death, resignation, or otherwise. The Con-
stliulion provide, (Art VI. sIG) that in c-
ties and towns there shall he Zone Com

CONFERENCE.-The attorney for The Circuit
Court, and shall hOl bis office for term of
two years" Section 90 Of Article V. Of the
same instrument, in prescribing tue
powers a d duties Of the legislative
department, provides that the manner
of filiiOg vacancies in office IN cases
not specially provided by this Constitution
shall be prescribed by law" There Is no
spc ciaI provision In The Constitution for
citing a vacancy 10 the Office Of attorney
for the Common wealth. But the Legi,la.
lure, under The power conferred above, has
said. 10 section 81 Of chapter @ OF the Code
81 1878. that "wben vacincy occurs i'm The
office OF Hastings Court clerk, or attorney
