The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1884-01-27
Death of Governor Letcher.

In another column OF this mornings
Dispatch will be found an interesting
sketch OF the life OF JonN LETcHER,
man OF note twenty and even twice
twenty years ago, but who after the
war between the States dropped ont OF
sight OF the general public. We can
recall the time when " Honest JOHN LETcH-
Err alias "the Watchdog of the Treasu-
ry,v was power In Congress; when nc
was fine strmp-speaker; when bis SER
vices were everywhere sought for as a man
capabIe of discussing intelligently and ably
the great politico-economical questions
which IN those days the campaign orators
OF both parties were expected to discuss
before the people. A new generation,
however, has grown up who "knew not
JOSEPH" 1t is hard to make them UNDER
stand the state of things in this country
and this State when Governor LETcHER
was in the heyday OF his fame.
Governor LETCHER was able, faithful
patriotic, pure. No breath OF suspicion as
10 these characteristics ever blew upon
him. He loved Virginia.

The Succession.
9Duncan Is In BIS grave.
After life's fitful fever he sleeps we'll

As long ago rs 1868, when ANDREW
JOHNSON was impeached. we commended
that neither the Speaker OF the House CT
Representatives nor the President pro TEN.
of the Senate was the proper officer next
after the Vice-Presidcnt TO succeed to the
Office of President OF the United States
when that Office became vacant for any
cause. The law giving the succession to
those two officers mingles the Executive
and the Legislative departments OF the
Government in manner that is not at all
commendable.
We are pleased, therefore, that the
United States Senate has passed blu,
which. in case of the Vice-Presidents
death or inability to serve. gives the Office
first to the Secretary OF State, or II for any
reason he should be ineligible, to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury; and so on through
the Cabinet.
We'trust that the House OF Representa-
tiyes will soon pass this bill. The present
state Of things is very unsatisfactory. The
people trembled in 1881 because there was
but one life separating the country from
anarchy. But suppose President pro
tenn. of the Senate should succeed to the
Office of President OF the United States.
Would he continue to hold his office OF
President pro TEN. OF the Senate? II not,
would not his successor in this latter office
he entitled to supplant him in the higher
office? If yes, then the Senate would be
presided over by the Executive. to whom
the bills passed by that body would have
to be sent for approval. Let us do away
with all such laws.

correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.1
JANUARY rs. 1884.
White labor is being introduced in one
or more OF the tobacco factories OF this
city which have been compelled to stop
work by reason Of the strike of the hands.
It. is believed that the experiment will
prove successful. and that great many OF
our white poor people will be glad to I'M
dertake this kind OF work, which has
heretofore been done exclusively by color
cd people.
Mr.. T. &. Elliott, an old and well-known
citizen, is seriously i'll. He underwent Il
very delicate and important operation this
morning, under which he sank to Il critical
condition. He Is about slXty-nine years
old. but his friends have hopes that he will
rally.
1t is reported that Mormon missionaries
have recently been visiting IN some OF the
counties of Southside Virginia. but that
they have not met with the success they
achieved in several Of the States south Of
us. Their headquarters are said to be in
Chattanooga, from which their emissaries
are sent out ROBIN ADAIR.

The Blair Bill.

We learn from the Washington Post that
Mr.. BLAIR's bill providing for the appro-
priation this gear Of fifteen millions of dol
lars of the national funds to aid in educa.
ting the children in the United States, to
be followed next year by an appropriation
of fourteen millions. and so on one million
OF dollars less each year for ten years. has
been approved in lie main features by the
Educational Committee OF the United
states Senate. In relation to the manner
OF distributing the money to be appropri-
ated. the southern members OF the commit
tee urged that the fund should be dis
tributcd through the State authorities. in
stead OF by Federal officials, as provided IN
the bill. Mr.. BLAIR expressed anxiety to
have the bill reported and willingness TO
modify this feature. He was thereupon
authorized by the unanimous vote Of the
committee to draft provision covering
this feature and report il to the Senate
early next week. members of the commit
tee reserving Il right to amend the provi-
sion II it did not suit them.
We trust that the Providence journal
Will agree with us that that is Just the right
sort OF bill.

Much conceln has been felt as to the
course the Democrats in Congress would
pursue as to the tariff. Many prophesit d
that this was the rock upon which the
grand old party would be rent in twain.
and the bright prospects OF success in No
vember next dissipated. But we are glad
to notice that the Democracy refuse to
fulfil this prophesy, but on the other hand
mutual concessions will be made on the
part OF the members OF the party who are
inclined to be protectionsts and free
traders. They recognize the fact that how
ever important the tarif-question may be,
il becomes OF secondary importance when
compared with the necessity of defeating
the Republican party. To the latter end
the united Democracy will bend every
energy. and il proper candidates are nomi-
mated the result cannot be doubtful. The
Republican party, born amidst the throes
of civil war, perhaps was a necessity then,
but at this late day has outlived its useful
ness, has no aim butte WELD power. which
it is only able to do by corrupt means. and
the people are ready to give it decent
burial.-PHSyrania Tribune.
