WHERE THEY COME FROM.

| HAT THEY ARE PAID.
The pay Of a waiter girl amounts to from
| 81 to SIS q night. They are required to be
| in the saloon at Z o'clock and remain till
4 or 6 in the morning, according to
| business. Besides this, there are the per-
| quisites, which not infrequently amount to
| more than the salary. For instance, when
o party Of three sit down to a table and
| call for drinks, and q half-dollar is LAID
down no change is returned, Or II a snort
| bit ia given in change ii is handed back to
| the pretty waiter as pin money. SO
| it is with larger amounts. One girl in
/ formed the reporter that occasionally she
| makes as high as eight and ten dollars a
night. 1t also frequently transpires that
| some masher with q plethoric purse smites
\ the girls with q show of his liberality, and
| quietly puts a half eagle into the soft palm
Of the seductive maiden. Yet these LIB
eral Dicks" are not as numerous now as
they were a year ago
1901 AND EVIL INFLUENCES.
From the proprietors Of the saloons we
learn that the introduction Of the girls az
walters has exerted an important influence
on the drinking classes, particularly the
boisterous element. and VIII ere noise and
confusion were Won't to hold sway there IL
merriment and laughter now, and very lit
tie drunkenness. Occasionally the green
eyed monster creates 8 flutter in the femi'
nine heart or disturbs the peac eful rela
lions between admiring friends, but thes.
instances are rare and very seldom noticed
on the surface. Consequently We MAJ
look upon the pretty waiter girl as an es
tablished institution. She has crowded
the abominable hu~rdy-house, with it
criminal associations, out Of existence, ant
as long as she remains the tidy, pleasan'
and inviting creature she now Is, she MAJ
prove an important factor in pi omotini
the morals of the town and it, Wis itors.

The People Cheerful and Hopeful.

1t is now seven days since we an
nounced to our readers the critical con-
dition of our President, and ten days
since the assassin's bullet was sped on
its errand of death. These days have
been days of the deepest anxiety to the
people of the whole country, irrespective
of sectional or political differences.
With breathless interest have they
waited day after day to hear the
latest news of his condition, and, with
each days more favorable accounts,
hope began to spring up, great burden
was lifted from the hearts of the people,
and they are beginning to breathe more
freely in the assurance that the life Of
the Chief Magistrate is to be spared to
to his country.
Business has resumed its wonted chan
nels, and the machinery Of the govern
ment has recovered from the severe jar
it received. the people are hopeful, and
a great joy fills their hearts in place of
the feeling of suspense and dread which
hung over all like pail; and most i'm.
portant Of all, the two sections of the
country have been more closely drawn
together, and the North has realized
that hearts as true to the Union beat
under the gray coats of the South as
under the blue blouse of the North. All
now feel that this is one common coun-
try, that belongs to ard is dear to all
who live under the @gis of its protection,
and are bound together by the common
tie of love of liberty, law, and order.

How 1t will Result.

Whether the Lewis Republicans or
the Wickham. Republicans gained the
advantage at the recent meeting of the
Republican State Central Committee
we do not know, nor do we regard it of
much Importance to the true Democ-
racy of the State, for the result of the
Lynchburg Convention will have been,
in our opinion, all the same. whichever
faction had gained the advantage. No
ticket will be nominated. A house di
vided against itself cannot stand, and
the straightouts having recognized the
fact that the voting strength of the Re-
publican household has gone over to the
parti-colored tent of Mahone's erection,
will at Lynchburg put on record their
answering and undying devotion to
the great principles of the great Repub-
lican party" but in obedience to feeling
of hatred Of the Bourbon" Democracy
which is stronger with the Republican
straightouts than their devotion to the
high principle of the honest payment
of just debts, they will declare that it
is at this time particularly ipjudicious
to put forth ticket, and whilst still
urging the Importance of keeping up
the organization of the party, the con-
vention will adjourn, leaving every Re-
publican the privilege Qf not instructed)
to vote for the party that is diametri-
cally opposed to the financial principle
of the Republican party, the only thing
of which it can now be justly proud.
1t will then remain to be seen, at the
November election, whether the real,
true debt paying Republicans are more
devoted to principle than to their hatred
of Democracy. Nous Uerons.

PUT IN WORDs.-The general senti-
ment throughout The ceantry that the
bitter warfare. which has been made on
the President by tAe Conkling faction
in the Republican party, was the cause
of the murdeFous turn which Guiteau's
fanaticis,a took, is thus put in words by
the Philadelphia Inquirer (Republi-
can(:-
"There is one thing that now seems
an imperative duty. 1t is that the po-
litical contest at the State capital of New
shall end, and end tod y. There is but
one man who h:.s it in his power
to end it, and he is the man who began
it. Justly or uDjust,y, there rests upon
the Stalwarts cloud Of suspicion that
out of the quarrel they forced upon
President Garfield, has resulted his at.
tempted assassination. The assassin, in
the very moment of his crime, pro-
claimed himself 'Sralwart of the Stall
warts There is NO intelligent man in
all the land who does not know, with
knowledge absolute, that so far as any
individual Stalwart is concerned, the
assassin's act is condemned and looked
upon with incigna,i5 loathing and hor-
ror; but, still. the belief remains that,
had not the Albany contest been origi-
mated and waged, President Garfield
would not have been shot. It would.
in view of the surroundings Of this most
dreadful deed, be boil, wise and proper
for Mr.. Conkling tn announce to day
that he will no longer be regarded as 3
candidate for reelection. If he owes
nothing to popular sentiment, he owes
1t to himself-to his own fame and po-
iitical fortune-tO retire from contest
that has had, even though so remotely,
a consequence so terrible"

In THE EVENT OF A CHANGE IN THE
PREsIDENCY.-It can be stated with the
utmost confidence that in case of the
Presidents DEATH nd the accession of
Vice President Arthur to the Executive
chair, the latter would Immediately call
an extra session of Congress 80 as to
give the representatives of the people
an opportunity to express officially their
opinion on the situation. Gen. Arthur
is resolved to take no responsibility
whatever on any points or principles of
importance on which there have been
any real or supposed ifferences of opin-
ion between the President and that wing
of the party to whi;h Gen. Arthur is
attached. It is believed that this con
templated course of action meets the
approval of both Gen. Grant and Sena
tor Conkling. They hold with Gen.
Arthur that it would be very unwise to
do anything to foment existing differ
ences.-Ssx,1..

THE STATE REGATTA.-The State

on last Tuesday, was a success and was
witnessed by near ten thousand people.
The course was mile and half. The
Rlves Boat Crew of the University of
Virginia were again the winners of the
gig race. making the third time they
have come out victorious, and therefore
they still retain the challenge cup, which
another victory will give to them per.

The first race. single sculls, for stran-
gers, was won by William F. Roberts,
of Washington city; the second, four
Dared shells, for strangers, by the Poto
macs; the third, single SOULS, for mem.
bers of the association, by T. G. Daniel,

Wednesday morning. The presenta-
ton of the prizes was made by the Rev.
DIR. Read, and Mr.. Windham R. Mere

There is world of significance in the
remark of Guiteau: Eyes, I have finish
ed Garfield now! Arthur is President.
l am Stalwart !" There was wonder
full method in this madness too much,
indeed, for really sane man to evince.
Murderers generally do things from a
sudden impulse and without motive.
But, in this case, the man had not only
maturely laid his plans, but CAREFUL.
calculated results. He knew Arthur to
be Stalwart like himself, and he knew.
also, that the death of Garfield woulf
bring Arthur, Conkling and that set Of
agitators into power. Hence the blow
he aimed at the life of the President
And therefore we say that there was too
much motive in the preparations and
conduct of this man. to justify the con-
viction that be was wholly insane. Sub
sequent de velopements, we doubt not,
will establish the conclusion that he was
not, and is not now, an insane man.

of the week that the President is en-

Maj. Swain thinks that with last
Sunday the greater part of the danger
has passed, ana that unless something
unfavorable occurs, of which there is at
present NO indication, the President will
gradually improve, and that his ulti-
mate recovery will be merely question
of time. His recovery" the major

Presidential Vacancies.
THE MANNER OF FILLING THEM UNDER
THE CONSTITUTION.

THE MANNER OF FILLING THEM UNDER
THE CONSTITUTION.
It will be ofinterest at this time to re-
call the constitutional and statutory pro-
visions in the event of q vacancy In the
Office of President of the United States.
The constitutional provision reads az
follows:
sin case of the removal of the Presi-
dent from office or his death, resigna-
ton or inability to discharge the powers
and duties of the said office, the same
shall devolve upon the Vice President.
and the Congress may by law provide
for the case Of removal. death, resigna-
ton or inability both of the President
and Vice-President, declaring what Of
ficer shall then act as President, and
such officer shall act accordingly until
the disability be removed or President
shall be elected"
Under this article of the Constitution
Congress has by law provided in the
act of 1892:
SIN the case of removal, resign alton
or inability of both the President and
Vice. President of the United States. the
President of the Senate, or, if there is
none, the Speaker of the House of Re-
representatives., for the time being, shall
act as President until the disability is
removed or President elected"
AS the Senate during its recent session
failed to elect President pro tempore,
and the House of Representatives, not
having yet met, has not elected Speak
or, there exists no provision for filling q
vacancy should Mr.. Arthur be in any
way removed or disabled, except by the
process of election. which would not,
however, be cOnsummated before the
meeting of Congress. The provision on
this subject is as follows:
whenever the offices of President
and Vice President both become vacant
the Secretary of State shall forthwith
cause notification thereof to be made
to the Executive of every State, and
shall also cause the same to be publish
ed In at least one of the newspapers print
ed in each State"
The notification shall specify that
electors of President and Vice. Presi.
dent of the United States shall be ap-
pointed or chosen in the several States,
Is follows:
First. If there shall be the space of
two months yet to ensue between the
date of such notification and the first
Wednesday in December then next en-
suing, such notification shall specify
that the electors shall be appointed or
chosen within thirty-four days preced-
ing such first Wednesday in December.
Ifthere shall not be two months be-
tween the date of the notification and
the first Wednesday in December then
the electors are to be chosen in the cor
responding period of the following year,
except when the term for which the
President and Vice. President were elect
ed would expire in the following March,
in which case, ofcourse, no especial cleo
ton would be held.
