There was meeting OF the State Board
Of Education held yesterday in the Office
OF the Superintendent OF Public Printing,
at which all the members were present
Governor Cameron, Attoney-General
Blair, and Superintendent OF Public Schools
Farr. The Board transacted the following
business
"Whereas School-Superintenden 4. NJ.

none Of the school trustees OF the city OF
Richmond have qualified by taking the oath
OF Office according TO law; and whereas
this Board have officially ascertained that
there are no legally-qualiiied occupants OF
said trusteeshps; therefore be il
ReSolUed, That this Board proceed TO
fiji the vacancies OccasiOned by the failure
OF the former appointees TO qualify, and
because the City Council OF Richmond did
not within sixty days after the occurrence
Of SAID vacancies proceed 10 fill said yacan-
cieS;
Ind further reSOlued, That a copy OF
this resolution he delivered TO the said L.

the request that he furnish the State Board
Of Education the names of suitable par
ties who will act as school trustees for said
city for the term Ct one, two, and three
years, to date from their appointment by

The following was adopted:
The committee appointed by the Gov
ernor to incorporate the Colorcd Normal
school. and to select a site on the south
side OF the James river for the establish
ment Of an institute of learning to be used
exclusively for educational purposes, have
performed the conditions and regulations
prescribed by the act approved November

the property of Captain John c. Griffin,
known as Fleets in Chesterfield county
near Petersburg. The property consists
Of thirty acres OF land, with buildings
thereon, and the price to be paid is
S13,500."

$4,000 OF this money, and Captain Griffin
will have to execute to the State good
and sufficient title to the property.

Death Of Colonel Timothy e'Bricn.

Yesterday morning about 10 O'Clock
Colonel Timothy O'Brien died at his room
i'm the American Hotel. Although he has
for long time been suffering from the
rayages of consumption, which it was
feared would shorten his days. Yet his end
came unexpectedly. and the sad intelli-
gcnce was felt in consequence more forci-
bly by his friends. Night before last he
was able to walk about the city, and before
retiring ate a hearty supper. Yesterday
morning he did not leave his room, but
sent down TO 9ir. Dodson for a glass Of
milk. When it was taken to him the sands
OF his life had nearly run out.
Colonel O'Bricn WIS born in New York
State, and was a lawyer by profession, but
not in the practice. He went into tbe.war
on the Union side as major Of the Sixteenth
New York cavalry, and participated in
many OF the battles i'm Virginia. Being 4
strong Democrat, he was not much in favor
at Washington; vet lie rose to the rank Of
colonel, we believe. In New York his ar
dent Celtic blood, uncOoled even by his
American birth, made him & passionate poll
tician, and he became prominent member
Of the Tammany Society, but an opponent
Of John Kelly's ring, and personal friend
and supporter OF Mr.. Tilden. whom he
supported for the Democratic nomination
for President in the Convention held in
1876.
Despite his feeble health, Colonel
O'Brien was an active businessman, and,
indeed, energetic in everything he under
took. He was an active member and treas
urer OF the relief committee formed after
the terrible Groye-shaft disaster at Midlo-
THAN, and was untiring in the discharge OF
the seli-impOscd duties OF this office.
Colonel O'Brien possessed remarkably
bright and quick mind, to which was allied
excellent judgment. lie was one OF the best
informed men in Virginia upon the politi-
cal history OF the United States. Added
to all, he was a genial, companionable, and
hospitabe gentleman.
His remains will be taken from the
American Hotel this evening, and will be
carried on the 4:i5 train north, where they
will lee laid to rest in Little Falls, ilerki-
mer county, the home OF his bOyhoOd and
youth. Colonel 0'Brien was about forty
two wears OF age.

MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.

Briefs.-It is now understood that the
bridge over the creek on the new River
road near this city was never really broken,
rs related, by the passage over II OF two.
horse wagon. The report was occasioned
by the fact that Granger did by careless
driving precipitate his team and himself
I from the bridge TO the creek below. This
did not Jolt the structure in anywise, but
considerably mixed up the rural party and
the team which was subjected TO the sud-
den descent alluded TO. The bridge Il now
and has all along been in good condition
for travel.
The wrongful application Of air-brakes
on a Richmond and Petersburg train near
Port Wathall on Tuesday brought the train
to sudden halt and shook up the pa>sen-
gers in Il painful manner. The train, owing
TO the severance OF one Of the brake-beamS,
was detained half an hour. The author OF
the mischief did not materiaiZe.
The remains OF the late Otto Fischer
were inferred yesterday in Maury ceme-
tery. He was only nineteen years OF age,
and his bereayed parents have the SYM
pathy OF the entire community.
Luckily the muddiness OF the James
river has disappeared entirely. Likewise
happily it, prOtuberant surplusness has
also cvapOrated, and the river is now at its

Report of the city Mission.

The managers OF the City Mission feel
that II is due the citizens to give an ac-
count OF their stewardship, and herewith
submit the following report OF the work
by the mission during the
month OF January:
The distributions have been ZOO quarts
OF soup, 4,i00 pones OF bread, 900 SICK r,-
tions consisting OF sroeeriesl, 10 yaras

comforts, 900 old garments, $50 pairs OF
old shoes. The amount expended for pro-
visions was si6G.63; total amount expend-
ed during the month OF January, S25I.Io.
1t Is proper here to state that the strain
on The Mission Is greater ut this time than
ever before, owing to the number OF men
thrown out OF employment and the amoun,
OF sickness among the poor. These causes
have given rise to great destilntion and
suffering, and the soup-house ls tnrohgeo

INTIMIDATION IN RICHMOND.
l charge that the spirit OF bullying,
threats, and intimidation so prevails among
your supporters in the city OF Richmond
that men were discharged by their employ
ers for voting for me; that an intolerant,
aggressive, and insolent spirit OF ostracism
and abusiveness prevails among your sup
porters IN Richmond TO the extent that 1t
requires nerve and personal courage TO
openly proclaim opposition to the views
and methods OF your Bourbon allies in the
city OF Rchmond; that this spirit Is so
fierce that timid people are afraid TO en-
counter it, and retiring and complaisant
people shun It's bitterness and recrimlnation

suit as between you, John Il. Massey, and
myself in the last election In Richmond
was at least 1, 800 votes in your iaver-ont al

in numerous counties and bye various

do not claim that the election between
us was i'm all respects ain absolutely fair
election. But i do believe that the frauds
practiced therein were more than ordina-
rly insignificant, and were by ten to one
I'm your favor and that but for the intimi-
dation and threats practiced by your
friends throughout the State my majority
would have been over ten thousand.
As TO your personal conduct OF the cam
paign, il was characteristics in all respects.
Dodging and avoiding all my appoint
ments, you never showed me your lace du-
ring the campaign, and, not content with
urging the claims OF yourself and the mca-
sures and policy you advocated, your
speeches were, in the main, gross tissues Of
falsehoods and traductiOn concerning my
actions and private character. and the cha
racter of others who opposed you.
Finally, | charge that your candidacy for
Congress was conceived in treachery, born
of infamy, prosecuted with mendacity. and
ended in the disgrace and defeat which in
all such cases is inevitable.
