Art Exhibition.

The Nashville american, in calling
attention to an art exhibition that is to
take place in that city, says the extent to
which the art taste of the public may be
educated by good pictures is illimifable.
Very true and therein is a suggestion
touching the proposed exposition Of tie
Virginia State Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Society. There are many good pic
lures in Richmond that are never seen
save by the guests of the owners in
the private houses of the latter
Should the society find it practicable
to erect a ire.proof building-say a
building Of corrugated iron-to be used as
an art gallery. splendid loan exhibition
might be gotten up without going out
side OF the city. A good plan would be
to place the exhibition in charge of a
committee of ladies and gentlemen who
would be authorized to reject any and
all pictures not of decided merit, and
whose names would.be guarantee to the
owners that their loans would be proper
" handled and taken care of and return
ed in good order when the exhibition
closed. Such committee would not
only have no difficulty in securing the
works of art Richmond possesses, but
would be able in all probability to get
loans from other points in the State.

The Richmond Dispatch questions
the propriety upon constitutional
grounds, of law establishing board
of pardons. Without having looked
closely into the matter, and considering
merely the provisions of the Constitu-
ton as quoted by our Richmond con-
temporary, we feel inclined TO agree
with 1t that the Governor probably could
not be relieved Of the onerous duties
connected with the pardoning power
without an amendment TO orr change in
the Constitution. That is the way, we
believe, the Board of Pardons was estab-
lisbed in Pennsylvania. We deem this
a particularly appropriate time, however,
for agitating this matter, because the
people of Virginia are TO vote this year
upon the the question Of holding con-
stitutional convention. II they should
decide attirmatiyely the board OF par
dons could be provided for in the amend
cd instrument.
We regret that our esteemed coDtem-
porary does not agree with us rs TO the
deSirability OF the mooted change, and
should be pleased 10 learn from it, at its
convenience, the reasons which lead it to
oppose the innovation. Iade1- appeal.
II our view OF the constitutional point
be correct, 1t 10 hardly TO be considered
o practical or imminent question just
now, and therefore discussion OF II
might perhaps be considered upproAta-

Lockout Ended.
lsy telegraph to the Dispatch.l

Troy, n. Y, February 3.-After vainly
endeavoring 10 obtain the same conces-
sions from the Troy Steel and Iron Com
pany the employees this morning decided
10 accept the terms Of the company, In
Guiding a 10 per cent. reduction OF
wages. Had they not done 50 there is
little doubt that the company would
have kept ite mills closed for at least a
year. The lockout has been in force a
little over two months, keeping about
1900 men idle.

Tobacco Excitement In Kentucky,
(By telegraph to the Dispa!chl

CHICAGO, February ga dispatch
from Chattanooga, Tenn, says heavy
buyers of tobacco report great excite
ment in Kentucky. Every available foot
of land is being engaged and the people
are paying as high as $40 per acre rent
for good fields. A representative OF a
New York tobacco firm says: "Spain
has recently bought 1900 hogsheads of
lugs in New York, which lesves her
1000 short of last years requirements,
with about $4,000 hogsheads for the
wants of 1888. The New York ware
houses are about empty, and purchases
made at GAINESVILLE this week were for
immediate shipments. Louisville ope-
rators are making every effort to get all
dark low grades in few hands, and are
credited with the purchase within week
Of nearly all the stock in Paducah, Hop
kinsyille, and Nashville.

Fatal Explosion.

CLEVELAND, February 3.-The blast
ing corning-mill of the Austin Powder
Company's plant. in Newburgh town
ship, near this city, was blown to pieces
about 7 o'clock this morning. The mill
is used for Rranulating pressed cakes of
powder, and the machinery had just
been started by Reuben Wright when
an explosion occurred. Wright was in
stantly killed. A large hole in the
ground marks the former site OF the
mill, but OF the building and contents
no vestige remains The mill was iso-
lated from the remainder Of the plant,
and that accounts for the small loss of
life. The company's loss is estimated at
$4,000. About six hundred pounds of
powder were in the mill at the time, and
the explosion produced report heard
for miles. Theground shook as if by an
earthquake, and the windows in stores
and dwellings, a mile and a half distant
from the mill were broken.

L. NJ. f; that at the evening session the
roll be called, and each member be al
lowed to call up one local bill.
Mr.. Elan moved to amend by pro-
hibiting any private bill being considered

House now gives an hour to private bills
every morning. Ruled out of order.
Mr.. Gordon moved to change the hour
from IL o'clock to noon. Agreed to.
The subject was discussed by both

not get their private bills up in any
other way.

The fiourishing town OF Salisbury, which
claims to be the metropolis of the eastern
shore" end has recently equipped itself
with a mayor and city coun Gil and board
OF trade, gave yesterday a creditabIe dis i.
pley OF its trade, industries and resources
which attracted O large assemblaRe from
the surrounding country. The display was
intended as an advertisement Of the fact
that Salisbury has recovered froxa the ef-
fects Of the disastrous fire OF October. 1856
and has risen from its ashes brighter. more
prosperous and pluckier than ever. The
demonstration reflected the greatest credit
upon the enteTprising people Of the town,
who have achieved for themselves an evil
able reputation for progress and first rate
business qualities. which have kept them
abreast with the most active and energetic
communities in the country. The Sails.
bury of to-day is a much handsomer town
than it was before the fire, large number
of business houses and residences which
would do no discredit TO q large city hav-
ing replaced the burned structures. and the
town has taken a most favorable start on a
new career Of prosperity.
