economic questions, and the Blair bill ~
lntes 10 one Of theFrcatcst cconomic quce-
tons. we believe, that can be consider
cd. hut with regard 10 this Federal aid
10 The cause Of education In the South,
there should not be a difference OF opin-
ion. Asa certain paper says, Virgil
MIA and the South do not need scpsi-
mental politics nor har-splitting dis
tinctions upon legal points. IT does
not concern US in this matter so much
where the aid is from as how 1t Is used.
Let not the Blair educational bill fail"
We are not the champion Of the
BLAIR bill. in the sense that we had
arght 10 DO with originating It. We
should be glad, however, If such were
the case. But we must disclaim an
honor that does not belong to US.
Chief-Justicc WAITE, WILLIAM M.
WAITS, Esq, and Hon. A. II. H..
STUART were among the first advo-
Gates Of sucA a bill--not the BLAIR bill,
just as ii now stands. So were Hon.
j. L. NJ. CURRY, Hon. ROBERT G..
WINTHROP, and other distinguished
gentlemen. However, the BLAIa bill
has numerous champions in the sense
in which the Mail intended its remark
to be understood. A new Legislature
is to be elected in Virginia next Novem-
Der; and we expect to find every can
didate for that body, whether he is a
Democrat or a Republican, coming out
| in favor Of it---that is, Of course, pro-
yided it shall not become law before
that time.
We still think that it will be happy
day for the country when the voters OF
both sections divide upon politico-eco-
nomical questions, and eliminate from
our political campaigns the large per-
sonal element which General MAHoNE's
| methods are so well calculated to put
into such a campaign.

Three Young Ladies' Poisoned.

A Charleston CIV. Va.) special says ::
Great excitement prevails in st. Adams,
near this city, over the poisoning of
Annie, Blanche, and Jennie Burns,
three highly respected young ladies of
that place. They had been to an enter
tainment Friday night and oversight
themselves yesterday. They prepared
their own breakfast, using water from a
barrel. Shortly after breakfast they be-
came very sick, with symptoms of poi
son. They were treated by doctors for
that trouble. Upon examination the
water in the barrel was found to con-
tain arsenic. How it got there is a
mystery. The victims are in serious
condition.

Three Pardons Issued by Governor Jack
son Yesterday.

Three Pardona Issued py toNafhVr ssse-
son Yesterday.
Governor jackson yesterday issued
three pardons. The subjects OF executive
clemency were George Craig, Charles
Lowry and II. W. Davis. Craig was con-
yicsedin the Circuit coirt Of Mason coun-
ty, last February, Of breaking into an out
building and stealing chicken, and was
sentenced to three years imprisonment in
the penitentiary. Heis pardoned on the
grounds of previous good character and
the excessive punishment for the trivial
offense,
Lowry was convicted Of burglary in the
Berkeley County Circuit Court In May,
1883, and sentenced SO five years impris-
onment in the penitentiary. The evil
dence on the trial showed that Lowry
broke into ahouse where he believed, and
truly, as the event showed, that his mis-,
tress and another man were together, and
the crime having been committed under
the influence OF the Green Eyed Monster,
and not with the intent to steal, and the
prisoner being amere youth, the Governor
was Of opinion that he had been sufficient
ly punished.
DAVIS was convicted on four counts Of
selling liquor illegally, ct the November
term, in 1883, Of the Mercer County Cir
cult Court, and fined $500. He is 9 poor
man, unable to pay his fines, and has
taken an oath not to sell liquor again in
violation OF law.

A FOOLISH IDEA
which the Democracy arc Doing Their
Best to Foster.

=
Best to Foster.
The Democrats are trying TO create the
impression that the Republicans Of the
Second ward nominated colored man,
DR.. stillyard, Tor Council, and then DELHI
erately deserted him, and some Of the
colored voters seem little inclined to
take stock in this idea. That it will not
"hold water" Is easily seen by an exam.
ination Of tho vote cast in that ward.
Mr.. Tracy received 377 votes for the Sec.
ond Branch, Mr.. Hearnc $40. and DR.,
stilyard $40. Only one Democrat, J. B.
Crawford, received larger vote than DR..
Stillyard, and he had but 70 OF majority
over the Doctor. The vote in this ward
for G. d. Thompson for City Sergeant fell
95 behind that for Grub for Mayor and
bowers for Clerk, and Capt. Seamon's vote
for WharfmEster 1853 behind. Capt. Sea-
mon did not receive as many votes in the
Second ward as DR.. Stillyarl by %. This
shows to some degree how much race pre-.
judice had to do with the vote. The Re.
publican vote, the bulk OF it, at least, stuck
to DR.. Stillyard. AT least one colorcd mar
