A New Colored Normal school.

The board of visitors of the Normal
School at Richmond, Va, the buildings of
which are to be erected near the Crater
battlefield, in the vicinity of Petersburg,
met yesterday and organized by the
election of the following officers: ]. Carter,
of Northampton, rector; A. w. Harris, OF
Dinwiddie, secretary, and ID. NJ. Norton OF
York, treasurer. These newly-elected Off
cials are all colored and are stalwart
Mahoneites. The erection of the buildings
of the normal school is to be begun at once.
The money for this purpose was
appropriated by the last Legisla-
ture out of the sale of the States
interest in the Atlantic, Mississippi
& Ohio Railroad. The creditors counsel
attempted to prevent the application of the
fund, contending that the bondholder:
were entitled to it as it was realized by the
sale of property for the construction o.
which their money was used. The case
is now pending in the United States Su
preme Court.

The Names of The Members TO be
sent In Next wcek-MajOr Nor.
gnn's Successor.
1t can now be put down for certainty
that the President will send to the Senate
next week the names of the three Civil
Service commissioners He has already de-
termined upon two members of the commits
sion, and the delay in sending in the names
of the full commission has been occasioned
by the fact that the President is in doubt
as to whether he can c0nstitutionallv ap-
point member of the present Congress.
1t is the intention of the President to dis
nose of all the pending matters of great
import before the 18th of March, so the wise
acres who have been predicting that Major
Morgan's successor would not be nominated
until the meeting Of the next Congress were
slightly out of the way.
Representative Hoge, of West Virginia, is
likely to be the third member of the Civil
Service commission. 1t the President
wishes to appoint him, and he doubts his
constitutional right to do So Mr.. Hoge can
settle the matter by resigning his seat in
Congress.
A gentleman high up in official circles,
and who is on terms of the closest intimacy
with President Arthur, met Critic re-
porter on Fifteenth street yesterday morn
ing, ana IN very cOnndental manner
called him aside mot inside), and said
"You know it is pretty generally be-
lieved that the President will send to the
Senate next week the name of Major Nor
gan's SUCCESSOR
yes" said the reporter, "that seems to
be the impression"
But let me tell you that it is my opinion
that he will re-nominate brother Morgan"
Upon what do you base your opinion ?'
asked the now thoroughly drenched quill
driver, who is paid to stand out in the rain
to "ketch" items on the fly.
"Mr. w. w. Corcoran is friend of Major
Morgan's and is working like beaver for
him. He has been to see the President
twice within the last week, and he didn't
go either during regular office hours, but
paid the President sort of social business
call after twilight, when you lynx eyed re-
corders of time and events would be plying
yourvocation in another direction. The
purpose of these visits is to me, perfectly
obvious, and there is little doubt in my
mind that Major Morgan's denomination
will be the result of these little twilight
tete-a-tetes.'
The CRITIC gives the above for what il
is worth.
