Votes by Connties.

In Botetourt, as we have hefe-
tofore stated, an election for the
whole county is to be held on the 18th
of April to decide the question Of IL
quor-lcense or no liquor-license. The
law provides that before the vote shall
be taken for a whole county the requ-
site number of voters in "cdch magls-
terial district" in that county must
petition for such ali election. If,
therefore, in a county having seven
magisterial districts the requisite NUM-
Der petition in six Of them, and fail to
petition in the seventh district, the
Judge cannot order an election. This
seems TO be a singular law; but thus
it is written. The words of the law
are as follows:
|. Re II enacted, Sc, That it shall
lie the duty of the judge of each county
court whenever such a number OF
the duly.Qualified voters of each mag's-
fcrial district Of a county as con-
stitute one fourth of the number of
voters voting at the preceding regular
November election in such county
shall petition to order a special
election in his county so petitiontng,"
&c.
The county must $50 petition" and
not otherwise, in order to warrant the
Judge to issue a writ Of election.

Explosion az Albany.

An Albany IN. W special says A
terrific explosion in front of the Capitol
this morning caused great excitement
among the occupants of tie building.
Rocks, timbers, and earth were thrown
fifteen feet into the air, accompanied by
a volume Of muddy liquid and gas. The
granite pile was shaken, and the report
was heard long distance. The first
thought Of the officials in the Capitol
was that dynamitards had been at work.
A careful examination showed that the
defamation and upheayal were due -
an explosion Of sewer gas in the large
receiving basins below the building.
Heavy stones three and five inches
thick, placed over the basins, were
shattered into a thousand pieces and
hurled through the air, some of them
striking the windows in the Executive
chamber, cracking the glass. No Sc
rious damage was done. The accident
was caused by the imperfect system OF
sewerage and ventilation which the State
Board of Health reported recently.

SATURDAY.....".MARCH Is, 1885,
proinnlasmic Wilson.

NJ, WILSON. Of Iowa, when he was
in the House of Representatives, made
a good reputation as a lawyer. lie
seemed to be practical man. HIS
speeches in that body were character
lied by sound reasoning and marks OF
good sense. There never was any non
sense in any Of them, so far as we can
recollect. lie was elected to the Sen
ate upon the reputation he had made
as member Of the House of Repre-
senta,iyes. In the Senate he had done
nothing before Thursday last to show
that his "wits had gone woOl-ga'her-
ing." But on that day he both dis
tinguished himself and extinguished his
light as a torch.bearer for the Republi-
can party. Ina word, he made himself
ridiculous. No. that he initiated Mr..
RIpDLEBERGER's disregard Of sena-
torial customs. Not that no was under
the influence Of wine. Not that he did
anything actually wrong, but simply
because. as we have said, he made him
self ridiculous
Mr.. WILSON had been dipping into
scientific studies, and endeayOred on
Thursday to make party or political
speech in terms Of science. But he
failed necessarily failed; because the
object Of every speech made in the Sem
ate is courteously supposed and as
sumed to be TO convince the senators
that the speakers side of the question
is the right one. This object could not
possibly be accomplished by addressing
non-scientific men as if they had been
scientists. Think of talking to JACK
LOGAN about 1.-THE political protoplas-
mic presence " which "hOated on the
bosom Of the Democratic platform OF
1884,; or about Z" the political eyOlu-
ton which took its start in the
protoplasmic presence upon that
platform; or about "proto-
plasmic uncertainty" What must
even Mr.. EvARTs, with his sesquipe-
dalian words, have thought Of the
Judgment of a senator who could, as
Mr.. WILSON did, gravely tell the
Senate that "the political evolution
whose several stages the President an
nounced, had not produced new spe-
cies," but was simply political
hermit.cr stored away in an appro-
pirate shell Of that better political or
ganism called reform, which had IN
creased in size and elaborated its ugli-
ness but had not changed its species y?
In word. was "the same old coon y:
And all this nonsense purported to he

issue between the Senate and the Presi-
dent Of the United States as to the
right Of the latter to withhold certain
papers asked for by the former

Poisonous Gas.

The report Of the Board of Health,
noticed in our local columns yesterday,
is an interesting paper. The BOa1i ap-
plauds the City Council for extending
the sewer system so generally during
the past year. IL the system is what
the Board considers it to be, it should
be made universal. Ii costs the city
not q dollar. The culverts arc paid for
by the property-owners; and no pro-
perty-owner who has ever had culyert
in front OF his property would consent
to have it stopped up. lie would
rather pay twice the cost of 1t. The
cost Of the culyert is about $3.50 foot
TO each property-owncr. Its construc-
ton adds five times that sum to the value
Of each front foot Of ground. If so,
we can imagine no good reason why
there should not be culyerts in all the
streets. Why should the thickly-set-
tied neighboIhoods Of Oregon HILL
Union Hill, and various other localities
be left without convenience that costs
nothing, since its construction adds
largely TO the value of the property Dor
deripe upon it? Asa sanitary measure,
cuiverts ought to be put into all the
streets. The diseases which break out III
tho thickly-peOpled, unprotected, uneul
vsrted sections Of the city may spread TO
all parts Of it.
DIR. CABELL recommends the ventila.
ton Of the sewers. Why? Learn how
and you will know why. They arc to
be ventilated by man-holes. In word,
the sewer gas is to be allowed to escape
into the streets instead of into the
houses. If this is not what DR..
CABELL means to say, we have mis-
understood him. And if we have
understood him Alright, does he not in
effect tell our people that their water
closets ought not to be in rooms con-
peoted with the apartmentsi in which the
families eat, sleep, or sit?

RICHMOND, Va, March IL, SO.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
have had no wish to enter into a
discussion of the local.option question
as expressed by the law lately passed
by our Legislature ; but your willing
ness to publish everything which may
throw light upon the subject has in
duced me to ask your indulgence by in
sertipg reply to the article Of Mr.. Ed
wards published in your paper of last
Sunday morning. In so doing | will
merely announce certain facts possibly
not known to our people. In France,
my native country, in every boarding
school sustained by the Government
under the direction Of the Minister Of
Public instruction and Religion, every
scholar, boy and girl, has wine at
each meal. In all the seminsries at
tached to the converts, in boarding
schools kept by Protestants, those kept
by Catholic priests or Sisters Of
Charity, the children are given wine at
their meals. This is the case also in
every hospital or public almshouse.
This being so, ! may with safety ask if
French statesmen, Protestant ministers,
prominent Catholic officials, and learned,
doctors of medicine in France are less
wise than those of this country. On
the contrary, one would suppose their
experience for these many years on this
subject should command the attention
and respect Of all who are made familiar
with these facts.
Another thing: The Government Of
the United States has never demanded

HIS "Greatest Effort "

Senator EDMUSDs is getting o lively
turning over at the hands Of the Inde-
pendent Republican and the Democratic
papers. The Chicago Times, in an
article upon what it satirically terms
"Mr. Edmunds's Greatest Effort"
says;
"Senator Edmunds's speech will not
add to his reputation as great consti.
tusional lawyer or as 9 brosd-minded
and enlightened statesman. His pre-
rnisss are false, his reasoning illogical,
and bis conclusions utterly insdmissi-

BILE. The speech contains. either IN
words OF by implication, gross mis-,
statements Of the precedents ana
violent perversions Of historical facts
and these are the skaky foundations
upon which the whole ilimsy structure
is builded. 1t is the pettifogging plea
Of hidc-bound partisan. not the d'gn'-
fed and temperate argument OF a h,gu-
minded and patriotic statesman. Per-
haps it may help Mr.. Edmundsio getre-
elected to the Senate from Vermont.
but it will not command the respect OF
the country nor strengthen the vicious
senatorial scheme TO usurp important
preroeatives Of the Executive"
Nor cause Mr.. EDMUNDs's Presiden-
tial aspirations to materialize.

taxes upon any wines made from frni.
grown in this country. Why has this
literal roIicy been adopted? The De-
partment OF Agriculture ofvirginia has
from time to time, in its annual re-
pers, urgently encouraged the culture
Of grapes, with the view Of developing
the production Of domestic wines. Why
should this be done unless those in
charge considered it advantageous TO
the State and the people at large?
beg leave to refer now to another
view of the local-option question,
which, of course, must interest all
growers Of grapes for wne.making.
Should this law go into general opera
ton it will in effect amount to practi-
cal confscation of much valuable pro-
perty, and thereby iniiict serious loss
upon the owners.
About fifteen years ago | came to
this country and established myself in
business Of another character. But |
soon found that the climate and soil Of
this State were eminently adapted to
erape-culture, and | was struck with
the fact that the papers Of the State
were constantly publishing articles on
this subject. Your paper, noticed,
published many valuable articles co.
couraging the cultivation Of grapes for
wine.making During the fifteen years
Just referred to, my own money, all the
money | have made from my special
business, has been invested in land upon
which 10 establish a vineyard. In this
venture my experience has induced me
TO plant out about ten acres in vines.
Every one who knows anything about
grape. culture will tell you that for the
first four years vineyard is all ex-
pense, but after that time, if properly
worked and skilfully managed, it will
yield enough for current expenses. IL
is not possible, in my opinion, to realize
any profit from vineyard in less than
six or seven years, and it does not
reach its full capacity for remuneration
in less than twelve years after the first
planting.
in view Of these facts, so far as am
concerned, what is to become of the in
terests I have at stake if the lOcal-op-
ton law is passed in lIenrico, where ]
have located my vineyard? And what
is to be the result in regard to the
many others who have in that county
embarked in the same enterprise; If
the law provided for compensation in
such cases there might be some justice
in it and all who have spent their
capital as | have might be protected
against loss.
Allow me to add in conclusion that
the best way to encourage the cause Of
temperance is to promote the produc
ton of domestic wines. All obseryant
travellers know that drunkenness is
very uncommon in France, and is attr-
buted to the use of many varieties of
light wines. The contrary condition
of things exists in England and other
countries where the vine is not grown,
because the climates Of those regions
are too harsh and cold for the cutiva-
ton of the grape. Hence, instead Of
drinking wines, so conducive TO health,
the people indulge in whiskey and other
alcoholic stimulants.

to submit the question to the calm,
sober vote of the people. If clearly
ascertained majority are Tor prohibition

the majority are opposed to prohibition,
then let licenses be granted as now pro.

prosperity of the city. Anything is
better than dubiety and uncertainty as
to the status of the people on this
question. Had we not, therefore, bet

for a vote to be forthwith taken in this
city, and let the matter be now and
finally settled in Lynchburg? We
think so. Let us have thing over"
