THE SCHOOLS AND THE
DEMCCRACY.

The statements made by Attorney Gen.
eral Blair at Rarrisonburg, Monday, re-
garding the School Fund, were simply
outrageous, and showed an ignorance or
reckleSsneSS Of which any man, who at :
tempts to inform the people. should be
ashamed. The delay in sending out the
statement of the school apportionment by
the Auditor was caused, as all know. by
the arrest of W. R. Smith, the clerk whose
duty it was to make it out. but that did
not affect the school money dollar, for all
the county treasurers were directed by the
Auditor, to retain their school money.
which they did. Not dollar of it was
sent to Richmond. save by two city treas
urers by mistake, and that was at once
sent back to them. No county treasurer
sent dollar of the school money to Bach
mond last December. The balance in the
Treasury is large land there has not been a
particle of difficulty about paying the
schools. The State School Board is Re-
publican, the State School Superintendent
is Republican,, and every county and dis
can-only having one Democrat to two
Republicans on ia piece of political
machinery promptly adjusted that way
when the Malone county judges got in,
and has been SO ever since. The only de-
lay in paying teachers is where these Re
publican School Boards run their schools
too long or in some other way exceed their
apportionment. which is done often at va
rlous points. Any citizen of Augusta iD-
terested in these facts, and every one is,
can find out by application to Treasurer
Mcfarland, that he did not send the
school money to Richmond, but retained
it here, and that was done by every coun-
ty treasurer in the State. The following
will show how the schools of Augusta
have Jared under Republican rule in 1882
and 1888, and Democratic rulein 1884 and
1885:

the requirements of the Henkel Bill. The
be paid for school purposes by the county,
city, and town Treasurers out of taxes collec-
ted by them. A large proportion of these
school warrants have been returned to the
Auditors Office with the vouchers for their
disbursement, and they are coming in every
day. Those not yet received have doubtless
been paid, at any rate the Treasurers had tax
bills amply sufficient, if collected to pay
them, for which they have not accounted to
this Office.
By the act of April 22d, 1882, to be found
on page 473 of acts of 1881 'S2, it was direc-
ted that whenever the Norfolk & Western
Railroad Co., shonld pay to the Board of Pub
lie Works the sum of 100000, the sum of
$500, 900 should be placed to the credit of the
public free school fund to be expended by
the State Board of Education for purposes of
public education at the rate of 100000 per
annum. The payment of $500, 900 was made
by the N. d W. R. r. Co., to the Board of
Public Works on January 25, 1888, and since
that date 5000, 900 of the $4,000 set aside
!
for that purpose have been expended for pub
lie education. You will observe that the re-
naming 100000 of this fund can not be ex-
pended until after January 25th, 1886.
The Henkel Bill directs the sum of 1926 900
| to be turned over to the Second Auditor, quar-
terly, out of proceeds of the License Taxes
until all arrearages due public schools shall
be paid, the money SO turned over to the Sec
ond Auditor to be annually apportioned

towns of the Commonwealth as other school
funds are apportioned and supplied.
The money required by this act has been

A TIMELY RECOLLECTION OF RE-
PTRLTGA NTSM TN VIRGINIA.

PUBLICyANLSM IN VIRGINIA.
Attorney General f. S. Blair on the
stump at Harrisonburg, denouncing the
unseating of members of the legislature,
and reading letter from the Hon. Rich
ard r. FAIR, Superintendent Of Educa-
ton, brings to mind memory. In 1881,
Mr.. Farr was elected to the legislature
from Fairfax county. BY that legislature
he was elected Superintendent OF the State
Public Schools. The Constitution of Viz
gina says:
'No person holding salaried Office under
the State government, shall be capable of be-
ing elected a member of either house of the
General Assembly,
The House Com ittee of Courts of
Justice (of Republican legislature, mark
you,) reported that Mr.. Farr was ineligible
to retain his seat in the House and further
reported that +:
''The seat occupied by Richard r. Farr, a
delegate from the county of Fairfax, be no
declared vacant, and that the Speaker of tn ,
House proceed under the laws to have the
same filed
| Among those who signed this report
were the following NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ney- General Taylor, Mayo, (slnce Repub'
| lican member of Congress,) Dickinson
Giddings, and Harris.
Attorney General Blair gave Mr.. Fari
the official opinion that while he was not
''capable of being elected,'' still, as he al
ready held the seat before being elected
! Superintendent, he could still hold it. The
House adopted minority report from the
Committee, instead of tie majority, and
permitted Farr to retain his seat which
he did to the end of the session.
The following com ment on this trans
| action was made in the House by Mr.
Mayo:
'sCan a man be so base and low as to b.
willing to sacrifice himself for any party by
becoming perjurer? No party can stand
long when so bolstered up. tender my res
ignatien as member of the Committee O
Courts of Justice, and I hope, Mr.. Speaker
of this chamber, to supply my place, mem
Der SO low in character as to be willing to sac
riice his conscience to support party ends, O
| who is such an idiot as to suppose that an.

PIES" sta
Mr.. Mayors prophecy was correct; tn
party did not last long. And as conse-
quence, Attorney General Blair and Su-
perintendent Farr are now just abou
going out of their offices.

was held up as martyr only awaiting vim

time and with less investigation than the
Democrats gave to his case. Mr.. S. F.

forecastle and be decapitated but that gen

escaped the general massacre. The Pilot
of the ship, Ex-Postmaster James Sulli-

and plunged into the waves after Mr.
Lewis, and then. the decks having been
cleared of the dead, the New Issue took
possession and ran up the Malone skull

Bringing the Dead to Life.

Some facts mentioned by DR.. Rich
ardson, the English psychologist, sug-
gest the possibility of restoring persons
to life after actual death. BY COM
bining artificial circulation with arti-
fetal respiration, a dog was restored to
life sixty five minutes efter having
been killed by an overdose of chloro-
form, the heart having become per-
fectly still and cold; and frogs poi
soned by nitrate Of amyl were restored
after nine days of apparent death.
signs Of putrefactive change having
appeared in one case. A quite start
ling effect is produced Ivy peroxide of
hydrogen in terminating the blood
and restoring heat to a really dead
body. These observations, in the
opinion of Mr.. w. Matteau Williams,
justify the conclusion that a drowned
or s~uffocated man is not hopelessly dead
SO long as the bodily organs remain
uninjured by violence or disease, and
the blood remains sufficiently liquid to
be set in motion arti6cially and sup.
piled with q little oxygen to start the
chemical movements Of life.
