The readjusters OF the Virginia legislature
have allowed their greed for Office to outweigh
every other consideration. They have given no
thought to anything beyond the division of
spoils. No matter how trivial a clerkship might
be, 1t has been deemed OF sufficient Importance
for them TO caucus over and sometimes quarrel
over. They have even denied to the state Off
GERS whom they have chosen the Privilege of
selecting their own assistants. The fiat went
forth that these petty clerkships must be at the
disposal OF members o. the legislature, and one
state officer has already threatened to resign In
disgust, because the party" seeks to appoint
his assistants while holding him responsible for
their actions. Gov. Holiday, however, has
brought the greedy hunt for Office to short
stop. He refuses TO commission the men chosen
by hthe readjusters as county judges, on the
grounds that the terms of the incumbents have
not yet expired and that the persons elected are
unfit to hold the positions. This has intensified
the bitterness existing between the couserva-
tiyes and readjusters, and 1t does not seem
probable that they can be brought together
upon even presidential ticket.

The Electric Light Speculation.

The first announcements OF the complete
success" of Edison'S electric light were received
without any doubt OF their truth by the public
generally. and there were loud acclaims and
many congratulations as to the great revolu-
ton soon to be accomplished. But there were
few, here and there who insisted upon more
substantial proof of the success than Mr. Edi-
sons assertion, and when the grand public
illumination of Menlo Park" promised for New
Years eve. did not take place, it began to be
whispered that the electric light boom was
nothing more or less than movement to bull
electric light stocks. Even those who doubted
the success of the electric light were slow to
believe that Edison, who had achieved dis
tinction as scientist, would lend himself to
any such scheme. The public will, no doubt, be
inclined to continue to hold Mr.. Edison
guiltless OF participating in the stock
jobbing scheme, but late foreign papers
contain some curious dispatches which indicate
that somebody has been taking liberties with
the inventors name as well as his operations in
connection with the electric light. The Paris
Figaro, of the Sd instant, contained a cable
message from jersey City stating that during
the week five houses had been lighted with the
''new electric lamp of Edison;" that '.the sue
cess was perfect" and there was "a great fall
In gas shares Also that the shares of the Edi-
son Electric Light Company, '.isSued at 500
udHCS, NtIt QuOttu nearly Zb,OOD 1fanCS."
The London Times Of January 4th published a
special telegram from Philadelphia of that
date, announcing that Edlson's horseshoe
lamps continued TO burn successfully and that
scientific criticism Of the invention had almost
ceased, as the public regarded it as successful.
The Figaro telegraphed to Edison himself, in
quir1Dg about the truth of this statement and
on the 9th published the following as the reply
received by cable:
'MENLO PARK, January 4. 1880.
Times telegram correct. Practicabilty and
economy greater than claimed. All houses here
lighted ten days. EDISON"
A special correspondent OF the Edinburgh
Scotsman telegraphed from Paris all the infor-
nation contained in the dispatches referred to
to his paper and added great deal more In the
way of information he had collected. all going to
establish the complete success of the electric
light All these dispatches contained announce
ments of the tumblng of gas stocks though the
fact is that they had very little influence in that
direction. Even in Paris where the most exag-
gerated statements of Edison'S success were
published. gas stocks held their own, and the
Figaro of the eth said the holders of .'gaS stocks
are ircn-clad. They have been so often scared
by electricity that they don't believe in 1t any
more" The same may almost be said now of
the American people They will have to be con-
Bile proofs OF the practicability Of electric light
hereafter before they put any faith in it.
Whether or not Mr. Edison knew anything of
the movement to initiate electric light stocks. 1t
is quite plain that one existed.

Senator Vance has introduced in the Sen
ate bill to regulate the practice Of dentis-
try In the District. This bill has the ap-
proval of the Washington City Dental Society,
and 1t ought to become law. We have hereto
fore spoken OF the fact that of all the cities In
the Union Washington alone is without any
sort Of law to protect the people from quack
dentists. The provisions OF the bill now in the
Senate appear to be liberal enough to the regu-
lar dental profession and rigid enough against
quacks and tmposters. Every person desiring
to practice dentistry in the District is required
to submit to an examination by board to be
appointed by the Dental Society. For this ex-
animation the successful applicant for permis-
sion to practice must pay five dollars, which
goes to fund to pay the expense of enforcing
the law. In this way the public is relieved of
all expense for the enforcement of the proposed
act, and the regular dentists here express en-
tire willingness to bear the burden in order to
protect their profession against imposters.
There does not seem TO be a single provision In
the bill to which person qualified to practice
dentistry could object.

The meeting at Lincoln Hall last night in be-
half OF the suffering people OF Ireland was most
creditable TO Washington city. both in the num-
bers and character of the assemblage, and in
the handsome amount contributed for the re-
lief fund. 1t should perhaps be stated that the
purpose in view in this relief movement in
Washington is to furnish prompt material aid
to the starving people of Ireland, and that it
has no connection with the political mission of
Mr.. Parnell, which, though matter of interest
and Importance, is not so pressing as the con-
sideration how TO supply bread in season to
those perishing.
