MahOne's Vote In Reference to Southern

chance for the swords and epaulettes of

try, but I choose to condemn you to the
muskets, the breastwOrks and the
trenches! could put you in position
to tread the quarterback and command
a fleet, but I choose to keep you at the
port. holes and in the matches? To do
otherwise would disappoint the reason

cans and interfere with my distribution
of the loaves and fishes to my political
family in Virginia. To release you from
the letters forged by your conquerors,
and which you have patiently worn for
seventeen years, would, in all probable
ity, break my hold on the administra
ton and shatter my political fortunes. I
am not quite ready for the sublime
sacrifice. 1t is best for you to bear q
while longer the consequences of Lees

dead. and the Northern brethren will
then magnanimonsly and unanimously
welcome you back to the high places of

you may enjoy the honors and emolu-

leaders, the heterogeneous and briga
diers of the Confederate service, some of

Yireinia,s Charitable Institutions.

The Malone part has much to answer
for. both in this world and the next, ana
perhaps may be forgiven much; but
there Is one iniquity which 1t has per-
petrated that deserves the universal ex-
ecration of the people Of Virginia. we
allude to the dealings of that party with
the institutions Of charity located at
and the utter disregard which
its agents have manifested for the well
fare of the unfortunate inmates VI the
Lunatic Asylum and the Institution lor
the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind. we
have heretofore expressed our personal
appreciation of Ro. 8. Hamilton, the
gentleman elected Superintendent OF the
Asylum, and have cheerfully accorded
to him such qualifications, as with ex-
perience will doubtless enable him 10
manage the institution successfully, put
the Malone board, not satisfied WITH q
change of superintendent, have ois
placed the assistant physicians, with the
exception of DR.. William Hamilton,
who, 1t is confidently believed, will be
turned out at the next meeting. Dr.
William Hamilton has been in the asy.
lum for thirty years, Is q physician OF
eminent attachments in all the depart
ments of medical science, and, by rea-
son Of his long experience In the treat
ment of insanity, has always been re-
rarded as the most valuable officer COM
nected with the institution. To re.
move him and leave the seven or eight
hundred patients, afflicted with every
grade and species of insanity, In the
hands of men totally inexperienced
must necessarily produce chaos in the
institution and prove disastrous to the
welfare and treatment Of the unfortu-
nate inmates. It ia said that the decree
has gone forth for this act of unparalleled
heartlessness and inhumanity but we
may at least protest against Its execution
In the name of all the people OF Virginia
who have hearts to feel for afflicted
humanity.
In the institution for the Deaf and
Dumb and the Blind the Board Of WISH
tors have been equally needless and
heartless as to the Interests of the blind
and deaf mute children who have been
placed there for instruction. Neither
the principal elect nor the first teacher
know anything Of the sign-language
and are, therefore, incompetent to teach
the deaf and dumb by that method. W.
doubt whether either of them will, when
he enters the institution, be able to spell
good morning" with his fingers to the

selected to instruct pupils by means Of
the sign-language in all the depart

PARSON MASsEY.-ParsOn Massey is
extensively spoken of as the Democratic
candidate for Congressman at large
For our part we will not commit our
selves until we see little more of the
Parsons aims and ends. If the Parson
will place himself squarely on the Ma
tional Democratic platform and his
nomination prove an expedient one, we
would be the last to oppose him on the
childish grounds of old antagOnisms.-
Because the Parson has opposed US on
State issues is no reason why we
should not be one on National ISIS ues.
Whatever of hostility we may feel to-
wards the Parson on the score of past
differences, we should not forget that
every Virginian owes to Massey and his
friends an immense debt of gratitude
They defeated the Apportionment bill,
the judiciary bill and the Commission.

sympathy of every good Virginian.
Probably no man in the State can hit
the Boss harder digs in the ribs than he.

DEATH OF PROF. VIM B. RoeERs.-]
This eloquent and distinguished scien-
fist, who was but few weeks since on
q visit to our city, dropped dead last
Tuesday in Boston, Mass, whilst ad-
dressing the graduating class at the
Massachusetts school of Technology
Thus was suddenly extinguished one OF
the brightest stars in the galaxy OF
learned scientists. He was born in Phil
adelphia in 1905. He filled the chair of
natural philosophy and geology in the
University of Virginia from 1885 to 1853,
when he returned to Boston. During
his residence in Virginia he organized
the Geological State Survey, and re-
NAMED at its head till it was discontin-
ued in 1912. He also examined the min
eral springs of Virginia, and analysed
their waters. After his removal to Bos-
ton he continued his scientific studies
and publications, delivered lectures at
various educational institutions, and
from 1862 to 1868 was president of the
Boston Institute of Technology. In 1875
he was elected president of the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement
of Science.
He belonged to family distinguished
for talent. His father, DR.. P. X. Rogers,
was professor of natural philosophy and
chemistry at William and Mary Col
lege, Virginia, and was in 1927 succeed-
ed by his son William Barton Rogers
An older son, James Blythe Rogers,
was successfully professor of chemistry
in Washington Medical College, Balts-
more, the Cincinnati Medical College.
and the Franklin Medical School Of
Philadelphia. Henry Darwin Rogers,
q younger son, was professor Of physi-
cal sciences at Dickinson College, Car
Isle, and afterwards attained great en-
inence as geologist. At the time Of
death he was regius professor of geology
and natural history in the University Of
Glasgow, Scotland. Robert Empire
Rogers, the fourth son, distinguished
for scientific attainments, filled thu
chair of chemistry in the University O
Virginia for eight years, and then sue
ceeded his brother, William Bartor
Rogers, as professor of chemistry in thu
University of Pennsylvania.
