Hon, John S. Barbour.

Who is TO succeed the unlamented and
defunct Boss in the United States Senate is
likely to become rerata qusestio, if We may
Judge from the expressions in many of our
exchanges. Anything like contest over
this matter is to be deplored, and We hopo
none such will occur. We had supposed
that it had been long settled, in the public
mind, that when the occasion arose the
Hon. John S. Barbour would be Mahone's
successor in the United States Senate, if the
democrats, under his leadership, gained
and maintained control Of the Legislature.
We could not if we wished, say anything
in disparagement of the other distinguished
gentlemen whose names have been men
toned in this connection. All deserve any
honors their loyal and grateful constituencies
wish to bestow upon them; but in this case
but one can be chosen, and time and cir.
cumstance marx the man as clearly and rs
graphically rs was the case with Saul, the
son Of Kish. When in the darkest hour of
her political degradation, Virginia, writing
under the heel of the petty Boss and polt-
ical tyrant, sought for one of her sons to
rally the broken and scattered forces Of
democracy and lead them to victory, the
choice, by common consent fell upon Hon.
John S. Barbour, and into his hands was
committed the destinies Of the demo
cratic party of The State. He accepted
the trust and bending all his energies
to the work and bringing into action his
wonderful powers of organization, with a
vigilance that never slept and sagacity
| that never missed point, he wrung victory
| from the very jaws of defeat. A second
time he has led the party and again victory
has perched upon the standard he held. He
has done all this without achieving any po-
| ltical advantage for himself, since the dis
trict he represents in Congress has never
been in jeopardy and has always returned
him to his seat by large majorities. Mr..
| Barbour possesses in q marked degree the
characteristics that would commend him to
his associates in the United States Senate,
and has that force Of intellect, strong will,
sterling integrity, tenacity of purpose and
power of comprehension and execution that
| would make him an able, effective and sue
cessful promoter Of the interests Of his State
| in that body. We believe he is the choice
Of very large majority of the people Of
| Virginia, and if party service and party
gratitude are not to be ignored, he stands
alone and pre-cminent the man for the
place. 1t IS quite in keeping with the
| eternal fitness Of things" that the victor
should be possessed of the spoils Of the van
pushed, and the brilliant political battles he
has fought could find no filter sequel than
that the conqueror should establish himself
in the halls of his defeated Adversary
| Roanoke Leader.
That great statesman, John S. Barbour,
chairman of the State democratic COM
mittee, organized with such beautiful pre-
cision the various elements of the party in
| their order that success was sure to follow
with the cooperation Of the peop.e.-New

Suicide.

BosToN, Mass, Nov. 1S.-John E. Weth
erbee, one of the most prominent members
of the Suffolk county bar, was found dead
in his Office on School street this morning,
having committed suicide by taking cyanide
Of potassium. He was twice candidate
on the democratic ticket for Representative
in the Legislature. During the last election
some unpleasantness was caused by the un-
feeling thrusts Of his political enemies, and
it is probable that this may have preyed on
his mind. On election day he went to the
polls, and, ignoring the independent ticket,
Oh which his name appeared, voted the
straight democratic ticket.

Tu1s ACCORDING to certain ill-informad
optjmists in this country, is an age OF prog
ress in all that tends to improve at least the
material condition of the people. Ana YET
the very condition referred to would be
battered An hundred fold if the country
faced to the setting, instead of to the rising
sun. Two hundred years ago the following
hill passed the General Assembly OF the
Colony of Pennsylvania:
"Aud to the end that poor as we'll as rich
NAV be instructed in good and commenda-
bic learning, which is to be preferred before
wealth. Be it enacted, ETC., That all per-
sons in this Province and Territories there
of having children, and all the guardians
and trustees of orphans, shall cause sucn W
he Instructed in reading and Wrltlng' 50
that thew may be able to read the scrip
lures and to write by the time they attain
to ~ years of age; and that then tney De
taught some useful trade or skill, that tne
poor may work to live, and the rich II tney
become poor may not want; of which every
County Court shall take care. And in case
such parents, guardians or overseers shall be
found deficient in this respect, every such
parent, guardian or overseer shall pay for
every such child five pounds, except there
should appear an incapacity in body or un-
Outstanding to hinder it,"
If such bill had been passed by the as
semblies of all the colonies, and were now
among the laws of all the States, the suf-
ferings the people of the country would
have escaped in the past, and the benefits
they would experience in the future would
be incalculable
