THE POPULAR VOTE DENIED.-lt
will be remembered that, in the late
canvass, the leaders of the Readjusters
claimed that no settlement of the debt
question would be voted unless ratified
by the popular vote. They stated that,
if they got the power, they wauld pass
bill which should he submitted To the
people for ratification. aud that, with
out such popular endorsement, no set
Element was worth q fig. Now, how
ever, that they have the power, they
will not submit their bill to the vote oil
the people. We do not believe that acts
of legislation should be submitted to the
popular vote, but thai was the position
of the Readjuster party until they got
into power. Now they refuse to give
the pc ople an opportunity to pass upon
their action

on Monday of last week at his residence
in N. Y. City. He was the son of
Bishop Potter. of New York, and of
still other men honorable and distin-
guished for speaking the word whether
by the laws of men or by the laws of
God, end was born at Schenectady,
N. Y, in 1925 Receiving his educae
ton at Union College, he was admitted
to the bar Of New York city, and early
distinguished himself as man of elo-
quence and ability. In 1858 he was
elected to Congress as democrat, was
re elected in 1870 and 1872, and became
one of the leaders Of his party in that
body. In 1874 he declined renomina-
nation, but in 1876 was again forced into
sers ice. and was elected to Congress by
a very large majority. When it was
decided by caucus of the democratic
members that III Investigation OF
the electoral count should be made
and special committee was raised to
condnct it, Mr.. Potter was unanimous
| " chosen for the work, and made 9
long sand exhaustive report, which was
higly extolled by his party friends. He
was the democratic nominee for Lieu
tenant Governor OF New York in 1879.
and ran many thousands of votes ahead
of his ticket, being defeated by only 2O(
votes. Mr.. Potter had the confidence
of both wings of the democratic party
in his State, and of late his name had
been frequently mentioned in connec
ton with the democratic nomination
for the presidency in 1884. J.

MORE RAILROAD ACCIDENTs.-On
Saturday week, near Anderson, Monros
Co., w. Va, an old man, Joshus
Eads, met with fatal accident.
The Hinton Herald says "that Mr.
Eads was walking very near the rail-
road track in order to avoid ditch fill
ed with water by the late rains, and
being blind in the eye next to the rail
road track, did not observe how near
he was to an approaching train until II
struck him on the head, and he fell
senseless into the water. DR.. Banks
dale happened to be near at hand. and
with the aid of others, dragged him Out
of the water before he suffocated. He
never recovered consciousness, after De-
ing struck, but was put on train, and
brought to Hinton, where he died on
Saturday night Mr.. Eads was car
penter, we'll known in this and the ad
joining counties, and was quite an ole
man at the time of his DEATH"
The same paper says, ''another unfor-
tunate man has lost his life by being
crushed under the wheels of an engine.
His name is Joe Fowler, colored man
employed as a laborer by the railroad
company. at the Big Bend tunnel. A
car loaded with brick. was being rur
into the tunnel, and Fowler was stand
| ing on one end of it. When the eDgin,
was cut loose he attempted to step from
the car to the engine and fell between
the trucks. One leg was cut off close t
the hip joint and the poor sufferer only
lived few hours. DR.. Peck was sen
| for but could do nothingto relieve him
The accident was the result of his OWL
carelessness."

GETTING FOR PRINCIPLES.

A JUDGE WHO HAS NEVER READ
LAw.-The Lynchburg Nr0inia,s says
that the man who has been elected
Judge of the Hastings Court Of Lynch
burg by the present Legislature, never
read law day in his life. How Is that
for high? The Constitution requires
that county Judges shall be Learned in
the law" and the Varginian says that
they have 'less important functions
committed to them than are devolved
upon the Hastings Court Judge of
Lynchburg." The Virginiam says:
1--WE have never known the members
of the Lynchburg bar so deeply stirred
as they seem to be over the appoint
ment of the future Judge of our Hust-
ings Court. Already there is talk about
compromising all cases of litigation that
may be referable to that Court, rather
than permit them to be adjudicated by
man who knows nothing about law,
and will only be Judge in name"

eral parties were looking after CIRCUIT

de ermined not to bother any more with
them until the question of redistricting
the State has been fixed. +

be passed around that the two were
continuing their old attachment and
that the affair was really one of the
