but the Philadelphia mechanics are
furnished with tickets to and from
P Philadelphia, or their equivalent in
money, which amounts to about So
a month additional. Two of the

Ruiu Threatened to Institu-
tiOns of Learning.

Whatever room there may be Tor
honest difference OF opinion upon the
intricate questions Of Virginia finance,
there can be but one opinion about the
improperly of bringing her best insti-
tutions of learning within practical
politics." and making the tenure OF pro-
fessorships in the Virginia Military In
stitute and the University Of Virginia
dependent upon the caprice of trading
politicians. The bill which has passed
both houses Of the Legislature of Vir-
gina 10 appoint new board ofvisiiors
for the Institute, with the view OF turn
ING out the teachers there now to make
room for hungry readjusters, is a meas
urt which deserves nothing but con-
demuation, The readjuster party can
not afford, even on the narrow grounds
OF party expedency, 10 array iIseli
against education. Such a course Is
runous, To wage successful war
against her institutions of learning is
TO destroy the one ground of pre-emi-
pcnce still left 10 Virginia after the de-
parture of all her former glories. 1t
must not be supposed that the two in
stitutioss named aboye can be lnterfered
with and made the tools OF politicians
without destroying their prestige abroad.
At present they receive large part oil
their patronage and nearly ali OF their
paying patronage-from beyond the
borders of Virginia. They are not IN
dependent of the opinion and good feel
ing If the Southern people at large
Loss Of character will undoubtedly en-
tail loss Of patronage, and thus bring 10
speedy decay the two Virginia institu'
lions in which lie whole South and the
whole country has hitherto felt justi'
fable pride. Whatever else be done
1t must be hoped that politics will not
be allowed TO lay its pOlluting hanC
upon the foundations OF learning
