AT THE public school convention now in
session at Richmond, the Superintendent of
Public Instruction Of Virginia, Mr.. Il. r.
Farr, made a speech, i'll which he advised
that those school men hearing him should
see that whoever came to the Legislature
next time should be aroused to the necessity
of raising funds for the schools, no matter
what political faith they held. He said
that this was the outcome Of the confer
ence not to coerce legislation, but to pre-
sent their grievances and make their de-
mands al the proper time. So it seems that
the convention, which was opened by Mr..
Blair and is presided over by Mr.. Farr is
political and not an educational affair. As
the Mahoneites long ago avowed at home
their purpose 10 run the public schools in
the interest of General Malone the fact that
they have done so is not surprising. but it
was not supposed that they were so lost to
all sense Of decency as to invite distinguish
cd public instructors from abroad 10 hear
them repeat that avowal

work with tools furnished him by Baetier and
succeeded so we'll that on the third day he hired

the week the two men had stripped the six engines

BEATING AN EypEp,r At, Jy;I,; .

BEATING AN ExPERT.-Mr. William c.
Taylor of the Richmond State, undertook
at the theatre in that city, Monday night.
to duplicate the "wire-gauze" trick OF
Prof. Hearne. He was seated in chair in
cabinet, his head enclosed in a wire-gauze
hood and his arms encased in sleeves Of the
same mcterial, after which he was tied and
retired with ropes wound about his arms
and legs and made fast to chair. The
front of the cabinet was closed. In few
seconds afterwards hand appeared at an
aperture in the curtain and grasped n
handkerchief there held A little later a
guitar heid at the same place similarly dis
appeared. After little more time there
was cry of Light" from the inside; the
curtain was thrown back and Mr.. TAYLOR
stood up free from ropes, wires, and all other
eentanglinIg alliances. The papers state that
Mr.. Taylor's movements were as expert and
rapid rs any of the exhibitions of prof
Hearne, who Witnessed the effort.

SOME RECENT letters written BY General
Washington to his overseer at Mt. Vernon
have just been discovered and published.
From one Of them it seems that the Ethio-
plan is as powerless to change his disposition
as his skin, for the experience of all who
have anything to DO with him now, nearly a
century since the letter referred to was
written, tallies exactly with that of the man
who gained the country's independence.
The following is what he wrote:
lis there anything particular in the cases
OF Ruth, Hannah and Pegg, that they have
been returned sick for several weeks togeth-
er? Ruth, l know, is extremely deceitfnl :
she has been aiming for some time past to
get into the house exempt from work but

ALL OF the political isms that have here
tofore run their brief course in this country
have had some politics in them, and have,
nominally at least, had the benefit Of the
community. and not that Of few indi-
viduals, and they by no means the most
reputable, as their object. But It's entirely
different with Mahoneism, for it was con-
ceived by its founder for the sole purpose of
proiting himself and though only rs 4
means To that end, the men who would
obey his orders. There are no politics in
it. 1t is merely to increase and sustain the
power Of General Malone, and to attain
that object the name Of Virginia has been
made a byword and u reproach not only
among her sister States but throughout the
civilized world. In discussing Mahoneism
therefore, all reference TO simple political
questions is out of place the attempt to
maintain the power of one man, and he not
above suspicion, by the united support Of the
negroes and a few office seeking white men at
the expense of every Christian, moral and
material interest of the State is the subject
and the discussion should not wander from
that one point.

THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH ].

AN ATTEMPT to pension the surviving
soldiers Of the Mexican war in the Senate
yesterday was defeated by General Ma
homes allies in that body, for the reason, as
stated by Mr.. Hoar, that its effect might
be to put on the pension rolls the names Of
some men who had fought against the Gov
ernment in the civil war. And yet Mr.
Hoar and General Mahone's other rcpub-
lican allies in the Senate confirmed the NOM
ination Of General I.ongstreet, Col. Mosby
and numerous other men who fought against
the Government; they endorse General Ma
hone though he fought against the Govern
ment, and they confirmed the men nomi-
mated for Office at his instance, by his bar
gain with the President, though nearly every
one of them fought against the Government.
The Generals republican allies have no OBJ
lection to paying ex-Confederates thousands
of dollars year out of the public treasury
provided they be republicans now, but they
refuse to pay any of the old soldiers of the
Mexican war the pittance of eight dollars q
month, for the reason that some of the
younger men among them may have, like
the ex-Confederates referred to, fought
against the Government during the civil
war. What consistent, magnanimous and
liberal minded people General Mahonc'sre-
publican allies are to be sure,
S. BROWN ALLEN, General Mahone's
Au3itor i.NIr Nocsay's oolIoctora
for the year 1880, having served the entire
twelve months, paid into the treasury, all
told, $500. My collectors for the year
1881, appointed in October last, have to-day
paid into the treasury Sl4,O5015. My col
lectors have, in truth, paid in more money
than the combined payments Of all the
collectors appointed by all the Auditors
since the enactment of the law" Is it pos
sible Mr.. Allen expects to deceive any one
by such subtertuge as the above? Every.
body knows that in the last election Hubbell
furnished Malone the money TO pay the
delinquent taxes in Virginia that Malone
placed some of that money in ba1k subject
to the order Of his manager Of the Wig
Mr.. G. G. Clark, and my collectors col.
lected no taxes of any consequence from the
delinquents, but drew on G. c. Clark fol
nearly all the money collected by them
Mr.. Massey, nor any other Auditor before
Allen. had Hubbell's money to draw for the
delinquent taxes. Massev's collectors col
lected more money from delinquents than
Aliens collectors.

second Rule is to Sell Cheap.
What we mean is to give full value for
every dollar spent at the the White

per cent. to the cost, SO that the pur-
chaser does not pay any more in pro-
portion to first cost than we do: we
must have a ,nargin, but it need fair
