The Blair Bill.

The uncertainties incident to legisla-
ton in the closing weeks of the last
session renders the fate of the Blair
educational bill little uncertain. We
hope for its passage, because it would
materially benefit the country, and
especially our section of it.
We can readily allow for the consti-
tutional scruples which interpose diff
culties in the minds of many persons,
both Republicans and Democrats, but
as it is least an undetermined question,
evenwith the most Observation-Disclosures,
and as it is known that some Of the
soundest constitutional lawyers, both in
the Senate and the House, sustain the
bill, we DO not hesitate to give it
our support. The dangers which are
said by some opponents Of the bill to
lurk in its provisions are more theoreti-
cal than real, and should not deter Con-
gress from favorable action. We think
the bill defective in many particulars,
but as it cannot be amended in the
House without certain loss of the bill,
we would advise our representatives to
take the Senate bill as it stands, rather
than run the risk Of losing the whole

Mrs. Judge Gum, of Sullivan, Ind,
recently passed through Vincennes,
bound for Antelope Valley, Kansas, in
charge of three carloads of cattle.
which she was experimenting. This is
probably the first instance on record
where a woman has undertaken a trip
Of this kind. She rode in the freight
caboose and took life as she met 1t.
She was accompanied by two large
dogs. She is an intelligent, refined.
thrifty, goaheadatiye woman, full
of business, and will get to her
new home in Kansas on ship
per's pass, the same as any male stock
dealer. She stopped at the Union De-
pot Hotel, but was not allowed to take
her dogs in the dining-room. Offended
at this, she would not desert the noble
animals, and she lunched in peace in
the lunch-room. Her trip will amount
to 1000 miles aboard freight train,
and will take week or more in transit.
Her family are in good circumstances,
and she adopted this plan of travel in
order to save delay and trouble. The
train-men treated the good woman with
every courtesy and consideration. In
Vincennes City at the freight dep6ts
she managed her affairs with master
hand, and the freight clerks exerted
themselves more than usual to be polite
and complete her transactions.

NORFOLK, January 9, 1885.
The Norfolk Gymnasium Association
has decided to dispense with the SER
vices Of Professor Kline, instructor in
athletics. There has been some trouble
between the Professor and the Board of
Governors, which has resulted in a
split. 1t is reported that Mr.. Kline
will be employed by the proprietor of
large skating-rink here, in which athlet-
les will be introduced. The governors
of the Gymnasium have not yet secured
another instructor, but will do so at an
early date.
An interesting case, involving the
city's right to lease the ends of streets,
is now pending in the Police Court.
The city recently rented to Mr.. James
W. Lee large warehouse near the
wharf, or the ends of two streets III
that locality. Mr.. Lee sued out civil
warrant against the driver of truck
belonging to the Seaboard Compress
Company, charging him with trespass,
and test-case was made up, which, no
doubt. will find its way into the higher
courts.
People in the Brewer-street section
Of the city are enjoying pathetic little
story, as follows: A little boy and
little girl lived on the premises of
well-known city official, and played to-
gether regularly, seeming to be pecu-
Garly attached to one another. About
week ago the boy died, and two or
three days afterward the little girl was
taken sick, and passed away yesterday, |
before it was understood that she was |
dangerously sick. The night before she |
died she talked of her little play-fellow |
constantly, and every now and then

A PLEASANT VOICE FROM THE
soUTH.--Under the above heading the
Boston Herald says:
IS General Joseph r. Anderson, OF
Richmond, leading citizen, has letter
in the Dispatch Of that city in favor OF
putting General Grant on the retired
list Of the army in the highest rank.
The substance Of the letter is in the
following !"
Here the Herald copies from the
letter.
1t then adds:
1t strikes us that this is very
pleasant voice from the South, and we
desire TO hear q cordial response from
the North. 1t may seem little strange,
as it evidently did to our esteemed con-
temporary, the Advertiser, to hear the
expression that since the 4th Of last
November the war is over but that is
figurativc expression very commonly
used in the South since the election to
show that the people of that section
feel that they are once more in the
Union; and VIC regret TO see it the sub
jcct Of cSptious criticism. General An
dcrson means, we judge, to express the
most cordial and patriotic sentiments,
and to show that, so far as he is con-
cerned, sectional animosities are Of the
Dast.''

bred tons of ore have been taken out Of
this shaft. This ore will make high
average. In this vein there are two
veins Of cassitterate orc--one thirty, the
other twenty inches wide--that will reach
an average Of GO per cent. Of pure tin.
Veins Nos. 4, s, and 6 are as good as
No. 2, with cassittcrite veins running
through them Of high grade. No shafts
have as yet been sunk in these veins;
but as No. 2 improves as it goes down,
it is but reasonable to suppose that
these veins will do so too. There can
no longer be a reasonable doubt that
there is a large amount Of ore in these
mines-enough to supply the demand
for years. These mines are well located
for mining, being high above water. No
pumps will have to be used. An abund-
ance Of water-power is convenient to
run all the machinery that will be neces-
sary, and timber for coal is plentiful.
As to the quality of the ore, that is a
fixed fact, it having been analysed all
over the United States and in England.

North Carolina.

The Baltimore american, in COM
mentipg on that portion of the message
of Governor JARVIS which refers to
the progress Of the colored people OF
North Carolina, says:
at is encouraging to notice what
seems to be a growing disposition
among the southern people to appre-
ciate that the real advancement Of the
South is largely dependent upon the
improvement of the colored man. Such
evidences as this that comes from
North Carolina cannot but be gratifying
to all who have at heart the true inter-
ests Of the new South"
We think the americans language is
rather disingenuous. Itimplies that the
South is, through some change of heart
or otherwise, gradually appreciating a
fact that in truth it has always appreci-
ated and acted upon. The white people
of the South have always recognized that
the advancement Of the South depended
in large measure upon making good
citizen Of the man and the brother who
was clothed with the right of suffrage
in order to perpetuate the power Of the
Republican party. Aside from all
other considerations, and as matter of
public policy, they have recognized that
that was the best way to get rid of
the blighting curse Of Radicalism,
whose opponents could hope for secu-
rity only in keeping the negro where
the gift Of the ballot found him. They
have proved their faith by their works
wherever it has been possible for them
to do so-nowhere more fully and eff
fectiyely than in North Carolina. Under
Radical rule in that State, the school-fund
amounted to nothing or next to nothing,
and the negroes were driven to the polls
like so many sheep, and caused to vote
for a party that was Systematically rob-
bling the whole people. Under Demo-
cratic rule the school fund has increased
each succeeding year, colored schools
have been established all over the State,
and yet taxation has been reduced. The
negro has been encouraged to engage in
industrial enterprises and politically is
becoming fresr every year. The
last election, especially, demonstrated
that he can and does vote as
he chooses. And what is true of
North Carolina is true Of the other
southern States just to the degree that
they have been emancipated from Radi-
cal influences. AS we have hitherto
stated, the negroes Of Virginia are more
solidly banded together than are the
negroes Of some Of our southern sisters, |
because this State is more accessible
from the seat Of the Federal Admins |
tration; butoyen here the emancipating
influence Of education and the efforts of |
The white people to make good citizens
If the negros are having their effect.
rhe American may put it down as in
iisputable that before long it will be
breed to recognize that ii is due solely
. the Republican party that the adj
'anccment Of the South has not been
more rapid and that the improvement Of
he negro has not been greater.

BfAfR bill, we could not consistently

Of its csntralising tendency. Nor could
We and yet we might well ask, What
are the few millions Of dollars appro-
priated by the BLAIR bill, and for only
few years, contrastcd with the hum
dreds Of millions Of dollars Of private
property which Mr.. REAaAN's bill
proposes to control In the interest Of q
centralized despotism : The Courier
says;
"Wc observed during the sessions Of
the recent Legislature Of Virginia that
whenever a railroad charter was asked
for containing authority to construct .
line OF road that in its general powers
could be operated so as to discriminate
against Richmond, the Dispatch was
earnest in yoicing its opposition 10 grant,
ting the charter until 1t was amended
with saving clause for Richmond"
A true bill but that fact does not
argue that we would not do as much for
any other city or county in Virginia.
Nor does it argue that we are either for
or against the REAGAN bill. We are
very conservative. We dislike all legis-
lative attempts to interfere with private
property. The late Judge BLACK,
however, removed by his able published
arguments most Of our objections to
legislation intended to regulate railroad
business and railroad charges. We
raise no constitutional objections to the
REAGAN bill. We only doubt whether
il will not produce results not expected
by its supporters. II legislates on the
subject Of civil rights, in providing that
negroes and whites shall have the same
privileges. True, it says separate
accommodations may be provided. But
the next Congress may provide that sep
arate accommodations shall not be pro-
vided. Again 1t provides in effect
that carload Of goods requiring no
attention between Richmond and Mem
phis shall not be carried from one of
those cities TO the other for a lower
price per 100 pounds than is charged
for carrying 100 pounds requiring hand
ling at every depot at which the car
containing said freight is opened, from
to the depot nearest to Mem
phis. ''Oh, no." you will say, g the
bill only provides that railroad shall
moi make greater charge for
short haul than for longer
haul Of a whole carload" Whom,
hen, will it protect? How many
persons desire TO send carloads
IF freight to intermediate stations be-
ween' Richmond and Memphis? Be-
ides, the company will send none but
.ar-loads Of freight between Richmond
md Memphis.
The Courier will perceive that we
re only doubter, not an objector.
Ne have not read the discussions
n Congress on the subject, but we
intend to do it whenever we ehall
ee any prospect of Mr.. REAGAN's
i'll becoming law. AS at present
dvised, we do not believe that the SEN
tie will pass the bill. If it does, we
hall throw no obstacles in the way of
S successful operation.
