slant, John S. Gillett, a commercial traveller
for New York grocery house. went into a
drug store here, and taking & sixty grain
bottle of morphine off Que of the shelves,
swallowed its entire contents. He immeGi-
ately relapsed into uncorsciousness, and q
few minutes later was pronounced dead.
Shortly after, signs Of Ifs were discovered,
and vigorous applications Of savanic bal
tery brought the unfortunate lIan to life.
Since then he fingered between life and
death, until yesterday, when he died. He
was delirous during the entire period. 1t

The FACT that the Dutch government is
increasing the import duties on petroleum
is beginning to induce the oil we'll owners
of Pennsylvania to entertain doubt con-
corning this country's wisdom in continu-
ing the duties it lays on the products of the
country whose retaliatory measures affect
them so directly and so seriously. The
policy of as few restrictions upon trade as
possible is one of the surest means by which
this country can attain and retain the frui.
ton of the chief principle of republican
government-the greatest good to the
greatest number.

LETTER FROM RICHMOND.

Correspondence Of the Alexandria GAzsrTBl
RICHMOND, Va, January 2G.-The Legis-
lature has not yet done anything with the
bills in relation to the sale of delinquent
lands. There are several of thsss bills pend
Ing before the committees, but none have
been reported. 1t is an important matter,
and the members of the committees are
looking into the question with careful eye.
The House Committee will take up these
bills at an early day, and will report the
plan which they think will be most feasible.
Speaker Stuart was the patron of the bill
which is now law, and which provides
that in any case Of felony or misdemeanor
the accused may be sworn and examined in
his own behalf, and be subject to cross ex-
arlination-as any other witness; but this
failure to testify shall create no presump-
ton against him, nor be the subject of any
comment before the court or jury by the
prosecuting attorney.
Under this law Thomas ]. Cluverius, the
convicted murderer of Fannie Lillian Madi.
son, will, if he gets new trial, be allowed
to testify in his own behalf. Judging from
the past, Cluverius will hardly care to have
anything to say. He has thus far kept his
lips sealed.
Next week promises to be an unusually
interesting one at the Legislature, as several
important matters have been made the spe-
cial and continuing orders for that time The
Local Option bill will come up and SO will
the railroad commissioners bill.
The republicans made party measure of
the contested election case of Finch vs..
Jones, from Mecklenburg county. They
voted solidly for Jones the sitting member
The democrats were divided and the vote
on the minority report which declared that
Jones was entitled to the seat, resulted as
follows: Ayes IS, nays Is. The rejection
of the minority report will be blow to the
white people of Mecklenburg, who have
tried long and hard to creep from under
negro domination.

into the affairs of the Williamsburg Asylum,

ONE OF the stereotyped reasons assigned
by the protectionists for tho continuance OF
the existing tariff is the assertion that q
protective tariff, By building up manufacto'
ries in this country, increases the demand
for and consequently enhances the price
of the land and products of the farmers.
They continue to reiterate this ground
less assertion in the face of the we'll
known facts that the price of farming
lands in the manufacturing States is
lower than it was before they became
such, and that the products of the
farmers bring less than they did before
manufacturing became as general in this
country as it is now.

ton proposed by Judge Rhea in the Virginia
Senate last Monday, provides for the repu-
diation of all of Virginias debt not funded
in Riddleberger bonds within three months
after the proposed amendment shall have
been adopted. Well, there is nothing am
biguous about that. 1t means that the cred
itors shall give up large share Of their just
claim against the State, or have the whole
of it forfeited.

THERE Is project now before Congress for
extending for two years the time during
which claim agents can hunt up and make
claims against the Government under the
arrearages of pensions acts. It is hoped
that the leaders of the democrats will be
firm enough to prevent its accomplishment
If it succeed, it will open the door to all
sorts of pension raids upon the treasury
and extend to an unknown limit the pen
sion expenditures of the country, which,
though more than two decades have elapsed
since the close of the war, exceed those for
any other purpose.

The PETERSBURG Tnder Appeal charges

The PETERSBURG linden Appeal charges
us with making "a distinctly unfair state
ment," asserting that it had shown the pre-
misc" of our calculation to be erroneous.
We take issue with it on that point; 1t nell
Their has shown, nor can it show, any such
thing. Admitting, however, for arguments
sake. the correctness of its opinion, that no.
body can furnish reliable estimate OF the
cost Of free books on the data now IN
hand" we have very strong argument
against the proposition to furnish books we
should be plunging into an expense alto
pether unknown, and not capable Of being
estimated; a thing no prudent man ever
does, except in the direst necessity. But,
again we ask, why not let the people-the
poor men Of whom the Inder-Appeal seems
to set itself up as the special champion
have their say on the question? We have
asked that several times, but have, as yet,
received no answer.
AS to the expense of distribution, we can
only say that if free books can be given out
year after year, with little or no expense,
and no loss to the State, human nature is
more perfect than we have ever thought it.
In our city, when the schools were first open
ed, and the number attending was scarcely
half what it is now, the firms which fur
aished the books paid nearly three hundred
dollars to the agent appointed by the school
board 10 distribute them.
