Mr.. FARR TO BE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
OBSTRUCTION.
4 week ago one OF the thinSs that seemed
certain even on the sea Oi uncertainty
which generally typlfcs politics was the
| nomination OF Professor Thomas y. Con-
rad, OF Montgomery, ~ superintendent OF
! Public Instruction. That j. all changed
now. IL is understood that he will not be-
Il candidate, but that his friends will sup
! port Mr.. X. X. Farr delegate from Fair
| fan, and that Mr.. FaT has the best assu-
RANGES Of success. How all this has been
/ brought about il for the present uncX-
planned. \ great deal Of guillotine work
has TO be done by the new superintendent,
and perhaps il was thought that Mr. Fairs
/ hand would be- stcadier than Mr.. COnrads.
/ At any rate Mr.. Conrad is not 10 get this
/ place, but is 10 be provided for elsewhere.
( Professor Martin, OF the Southwest, Is also
, a candidate, but ii Mr.. Farr has support
J from the quarter il is said he has, bis defeat
will be- next 10 impossible.
wHrPPNG-POsT.
/ Mr.. lakewood. Of Henrico, in the
/ House, aud Mr.. Jones (colored) in the SEN
D
! ing to the repeal OF the whipping post law.
The ReadjuSters during the campaign
promised the colOrcd brethren this measure
OF relief from punishment ior the sin that
doth 50 easily beset them.
FRAzIER-LADY CASE.
/ The Rcadiuster majority Of the COM
mit,ee yesterday reported 20 the House in
/ favor OF seating Aiessrs. Frazier and Lady,
| Readiusters, OF Rockbridge, in place OF
+ MesSrs. Leech and Dunlap, Democrats.
| The Democratic minority viii present
strong report in favor Ol the sitting mem
/ berS.
/ The RcadjusterS seem 60 be making tre-
mendOus haste in this matter. l. il that
| they miss the leadership Of Mr.. Frazier in
/ the House, o. do they want the extra votes
this change will give them when the vote
! for senator is taken?
SCHOOL PEOPLE.
/ \ message from the Governor was sent
+ To the senate yesterday. That part OF il
enclosing designations Of county judges
was read. Another part was considered in
executive {, cret) session, and IL beliey, Il
/ to have referred 10 the Board OF Visitors
! Of BlackSburg College and 70 the appoint
mcnt OF large number OF county school
/ Supcrintcndents.
! The aforesaid Board was appointed by
the Governor two wears AGO nearly, but the
/ Legislature adjourned before the Senate
confirmed them. They have since been
acting ~ ed interim Board. Several OF
/ them are prominent Democratic gentlemen,
and, without betraying the secrets OF the
executive session (which would be very
/ Mt ttftrN .
! that none OF these were on Yesterday con-
iirmed. IL is believed that Governor Cam
erOn will be afforded the opportunity OF
J framing an entire Board in sympathy with
, the Read justcr Senate.
As TO the county and city superntend-
ents, there are s. 10 be- confirmed by the
senate az this session, and IL win turn ont
| that participation in politics by them will
| be regarded as an OdiOus crime, unless
said participation was in behalf Of the Re-
adjuster party. The result will be that all
/ those who are not avOWcd Rcadjusters
will 20.
