A Loss to Virginia.

Prof. Thomas r. Price, who for sew
eral years past has filled the chair of
Greek at the University of. Virginia
with distinction, has been elected to the
professorship of English literature al
Columbia College. N. Y. The chair OF
English literature at Columbia College
pays the handsome salary of $500 a
year, a compensation far more liberal
than that attaching to the labors of the
average college professor in this coun'
try. Some forty candidates have sub
mitted their testimonials during the
last six months, but Prof. Price was
selected out of host of distinguished
competitors. While the question OF
compensation must enter even into the
calculations of the most devoted dis.
ciples of scholarship, it is doubtful
whether Prof. Price would have ac-
cepted the tempting offer of Columbia
College, had not the shadow of read
justment already fallen upon the walls
of the venerable University, and rem
dered it necessary for its professors to
look to their own futures. Prof. Price
is one of the most brilliant scholars in
the country, and succeeded Prof. Gil
dersleeve, now of the Johns Hopkins,
In the professorship of Greek at the
University of Virginia, where his rare
scholarship and talents we'll maintained
the prestige which that chair had at
tanned under his distinguished prede
cessor. The fatal effects of the policy
of REIMBURSEMENT could not be more
pointedly illustrated than in the many
noble exiles whom it is driving beyond
the borders of Virginia. Every immi
grant, political economists tell US, il
worth so much to country and judged
by this bare standard of dollars ano
cents, how much is Virginia losing in
the men OF. mind and energy whom
hort.sighted policy is forcing away
from her-a policy which at one AND
the same time is shifting capital in the
face and laying in ruins her temples OF
learning.

SUBMITTED TO MAHONE.-The Rich
mond State says that the confession
made by Senator Powell on Tuesday
'sthat he had submitted the Commits

his approval before presenting it, is one
of the most humiliating admissions Of
the most abject servility of the members
of that party to "Boss dictation" that
has ever been made in legislative

INFEcTIoUs.-The reputation craze
which asserted itself in this State last
fall, spreading as it did to the large body
of colored voters, seems to be already
injecting the same class of voters in
Tennessee. Gov. Hawkins, of that
State, who is pronounced debt payer
and candidate for denomination, Wis
tied Memphis few days ago and laid
his plan to secure the delegation from
Shelby county, but the convention met
Monday of last week and elected forty
pronounced anti-Hawkins delegates,
after adopting resolutions which prac-
tically favor the reputation of the
State debt. The convention was run
principally by colored leaders, who have
heretofore been followers.

Virginia, which it calls ''the shoestring
system of forming DISTRICTS" the carry

of this plan it shows that the Repudia

says that "as they will contribute large

the Republicans will, no doubt, demand
four out of the eight, which will be con-

The UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.
The Virginia State Senate Tuesday
passed House bill vacating the Offices OF
the board of visitors of the University
of Virginia. The bill provides that the
Governor shall at once appoint a new
board of visitors, three of whom shall be
selected from the division of the State
in which the institution is situated and
two from each of the other grand divis-
ions of the State. It is understood Gov.
Cameron will appoint board composed
wholly of "readjusters," and fears art
entertained that most, if not all, of the
present able faculty will be ousted to
make room for teachers whose political
sentiments are more in accord with the
party in power, though such purpose
was disclaimed by the advocates of the
bill in the Legislature.

The bill creating the Office of commits

nor the appointment of about one hun
dred officers, which had passed the
House of Delegates, was taken up in
the Senate, and after protracted fight
an amendment was adopted proposed
by Mr.. Newberry) which takes the ap-
pointment of the commissioner from
the Governor and makes the Office cleo
tive by the people every four years from
May, 1882, the "big four" as Messrs.
Newberry, Lybrook, Hale and Will
liams are designated, voting with the
democrats. The friends of the bill must
take it in its present shape or give it up
entirely. Its failure is disappointment
to many who had already made their
way to Richmond to petition the Gov
ernor for one of the places which would
yield such fat fees. The bill has been
looked upon as one of the most impor'
tant of the readjuster party measures,
as it more than doubled the patronage
in the hands of the Executive"
