THE BUSY HAND OF DEATH-TW0 MORE PRO-

FROM DEATH-SALE OF THE UPPER Apo
MATTOX PROPERTY.
correspondence of the Richmond Dspatch.I
DECEMBER 81. 1888.
Death has been busy in our midst this
week. and to-day claimed as its victims
two more OF our prominent and we'll
known citizens. Mr.. William Pleasant
TAYLOR. treasurer OF the Petersburg rail-
road, died at O'Clock this morning OF
diphtheria. after few days illness, in the
forty-Grst year Of his age. He had been in
the employment Of the company since
Immediately after the war, when he
was appointed to the humble po-
siton OF clerk in the office at Castor, n.
G.. He was subsequently promoted from
place to place under the different admins
trations until in 1874 he was elected audi
tor, and in 1876 treasurer. lie came to Pc
tersburg in 1865. He was thoroughly
competent official, and one in whom the
company placed the highest confidence;
and withal he was the model OF n Christian
gentleman. Mr.. Taylor was member OF
the Official Board OF the Washington
Methodist Episcopal church. and faithful
worker in the Sunday school. lie leaves
widow and four children.
Mr.. William s. Harrison, an aged and
respected citizen, died to-day after pro.
tracted illness. He was about seventy
wears old. Mr.. Harrison was n native OF
Charles City county, but had lived for
many years in Petersburg, where he con-
Quoted large mercantile business. He
was at one time wealthy, but like many
Others, suffered losses by the war.
Mr.. George Parkinson. citizen OF Ches-
terfield, met with serious and painful
accident yesterday afternoon while out
deer hunting. While passing through
some bushes his gun was by some means
discharged. The load OF fifteen buck
shot grazed his temple, producing an ugly
scar, and, it is feared. destroying the sight
OF one OF his eyes. His escape from in
stant death was miraculous.
1t is pretty well understood that the Up
per-AppomattoX canal property will change
hands tonight. An opportunity is to be
given the Common Council at meeting to
be held tonight to purchase or decline the
purchase on behalf OF the city. II the
Council declines, the offer Of company of
capitalists will be accepted, and the papers
Immediately signed. IL the city purchases
the property it will be for the purpose of
meeting the future increased demands for
Il water-supply. III the capitalists get it,
they will Immediately expend @ large
amount In improving the water-power, and
in building mills and factories on the line.
II the Council decides to purchase, their
action will be submitted to the vote OF the
people for approval. ROBIN ADAIR.

The Republican National Convention.
We frequently read in northern Repub-
lican journals paragraphs going to show
that those journals do not consider that the
Republicans of the South have all the rights
Of those in the North. The last Cincinnati
Commercial gives us specimen of that
sort of talk in the shape OF several para
graphs and leading editorial breathing
the spirit OF the few lines which here fol-
low:
"Under the system OF the Republican
party, which the National Republican Com
mittee refused in January last to change,
there will be in the next National Conven-
ton three hundred delegates from the solid
South. Shall the shotgun rule in the Re-
publican conventions also?"
This means, leaving the libel contained
in it out Of view, that a southern Democrat
ic State ought not to be fully represented
in Republican National Convention-that
is, ought not to be represented in proper
ton to its population; but it says never a
word as to what ought to be done with
DClUUClutlC sDldtts- OulO, lOI tA-
ample, or New York, or Oregon. Why
not? Because the Commercial is so blinded
by prejudice against the southern people
that it is incapable of doing justice, even
to southern Republicans. 1t waves the
bloody shirt more persistently than any
other northern paper which comes to this
Office.
We suggest to the Commercial that repre-
sentation in National Conventions ought to
be based upon the party vote. There were
in round numbers 100000 votes cast in
1880 for Mr.. GARFIELD. Let each State
send to the Republican National Conyeu-
ton one delegate for every 5000 votes it
cast in that election, and then each State
send two delegates at large, and this body
will consist OF $40 delegates-an assemblage
as largo as such body can be II it is TO be
a deliberative body. Thus, with smaller
National Convention, the party would
nevertheless have chance to be repre-
sentcd in il by an unusually large number
Of its most distinguished leaders. Why ?
Because the Republican States would elect
the most Of the delegates.
Both parties might profitably adopt this
new basis OF representation.

So many persons desire to obtain inior-
nation OF the kind asked for by "Rustic F"
that we will try to answer his questions;
but SO briefly Dor want Of room) that we
fear we may fail to satisfy him.
1. This question does not need an an
swer.
Q The grppLEBEReER bill sets forth that
the State owes only about twenty millions
of dollars. instead Of the thirty millions
IN 1871. In order to reduce
the debt to the amount recognized IN the
RIppLEBERGER bill, this bill provided for
issuing new bonds for 60 per cent. OF one
class, 90 per cent. OF another class. 80 Oh
another, 83 Of another, &c. The bonds
thus sealed down were bonds of the State
issued under the acts OF 1871 and 1879, and
other bonds. One third OF the debt OF
Virginia had been assigned to West Vir-
ginia by the funding bill OF 1871. The
scaling down was, therefore. not done as a
means OF setting apart another portion OF
that debt to West Virginia.
The Legislature passed in January, 1852,
a bill providing that the several taX-collec-
tors should receive for taxes nothing but
gold. silver, bank notes, and greenbacks-
that is, should not receive coupons. This
law made everybody pay his taxes in mo-
ney, but allowed person Offering coupons
TO bring suit and get his money back II he
proved the coupons to be genuine. The
State was to be taxed with "necessary
costs " II the court certified that the Com
attorney had done his duty
against these coupons, and this officer to
be taxed with five dollars in each case il
the court refused him the certificate afore-
said.
In April, 1882, the Legislature passed
bill providing that the Supreme Court OF
Appeals should issue no writ OF manda-
nus. prohibition, or other summary pro-
,ess whatever, for the relief Of coupon
holders.
The Supreme Court of the United States
decided the RIDDLEBERGER bill to be not
N violation OF the Constitution OF the
United States.

testimony OF DIR. Curry that the South is,

Even from the standpoint OF the Doctor,
IL Is easy to perceive that there are many
difficulties in the way OF efficient legisla-
ton: but our purpose now has been SIM
ply to put DIR. Curry right upon the record
az he Is eminently entitled so TO be placed
The old maxim that the safety OF the re-
public il the supreme law was the plea OF
the Radicals In Congress for violating their
oaths to support the Federal Constitution
when they sanctioned the emancipation
proclamation. There Is no measure OF any
sort that cannot be justified II the Consti-
tuition may be set aside and the "safety OF
the republic" be pleaded as an all-suili-
cient reason. Upon that plea Congress
might provide for religious establishment
based upon the New Testament. Upon
that plea Congress might pass a Maine
liquor law. Upon that plea Congress
might pass law Of any sort. We can
imagine no limits to power based upon
the "welfare OF the republic" We
do not understand DIR. CURRY to hold
that the old Latin maxim SdlaS pop,ai SUI
prema est ter can be pleaded as OF superior
authority to the Constitution OF the United
States. And il he holds that the authority
OF Congress, constitutionally speaking. to
make appropriations in aid OF education is
demonstrable, whilst its authority to make
such appropriations as MFR. BLAINE pro-
poses is not demonstrate, then we should
be greatly obliged to him il he would take
the trouble to point out this difference to
the readers of the Dispatch.
We suspect that the Journal has miscon-

the General Government ought to adopt no
plan that would "subordinate State
methods. That's what we say. He adds
merely that the Federal Government has
the right, and is in duty bound, to follow
the appropriation to see that the money is
properly applied" But what II it is not
"properly spplied"? Nothing, says DR..
CURRY, except "the Withholding OF the
remainder OF the appropriation" Surely
that is not all that the Providence Journal
means when il advocates what it calls :" the
right of Federal supervision" DR.. CURRY,
as we understand him, would not allow the
Federal Government to do anything more
than satisfy itself that its contribution was
used in aid Of education. II used for that
purpose, il may be used in any way the
State chooses. And even II used for other
purposes, he would not concede that Con-
gress could recover the money or do any
thing else than Z" withhold the remainder
OF the appropriation"

Two exciting accidents occurred on the

to- lay. Shortly before noon the steamer
b. ID. Wood was coming down with tow
of coal barges, when she was caught by IN
undercurrent and carried over the dam.
The steamer was saved, but the barges
were sunk.
This evening the steamer Reindeer,
owned by Magnus & Son. was bringing a
tow down, and when near the point OF the
first accident she became unmanagable
and started toward the dam with fearful
velocity. The river in the Vicinity OF the
lock was crowded with tow-boats waiting
their turn to lock through, and nearly
every one Of them was more or less dam
aged by the Reindeer. The Ben Wood
had her wheel torn, the Little Dicks
guards were broken, and the others were
slightly damaged. When the dam was
reached the Reindeer broke in two and
caught fire, while her tow was swept over
the dam and sunk. The crew had mar
