Personal Matters Between LcGisia-
Tors.

Yesterday, while Mr.. Koiner was OPP
posing n bill, which he characterized as
pernicious legislation, Mr.. HUBBARD arose
TO the point of order that the gentleman
from Augusta was out of order IN dis
cussing the merits of the bill when only
an amendment was before the Senate.
Mr.. Koiner retorted: "The gentle
man from Buckingham always takes oc-
casion to make points OF order when l
speak" He then proceeded with what
he had to say.
Presently Mr.. Hubbard rose to a point
of personal privilege and said he did not
care to be placed before the Senate in
the light that Mr.. Koiners remarks were
calculated to produce that he certainly
was man enough to say anything that he
might desire TO concerning Mr.. Koiner ;
that he only made points of order wheh
he thought speakers out OF order that
he meant nothing personal, but if Mr..
Koiner thought he did he (Koiner) knew
where to find him.
Mr.. Koiner replied 81 take no notice
OF such statements made here.
In the course OF the proceedings Of
the House of Delegates yesterday a
question arose as to a committees re-
port upon bill, during which Mr.. Wad-
dill and Mr.. Loving got into a contro-
versy, and Mr.. Loving understood MIR.
Waddill to make flat denial Of one OF
his assertions. After the two houses had
adjourned Mr.. Loving sought Mr.. Wad-
dill and went into the Senate chamber,
where Mr.. Waddill then was, and in an
interview with him, in very emphatic
terms, expressed his opinion of Dir.
Waddill. I

Our old friend Of the Lynchburg
Advance did not do us the honor to
tackle the main point we made against
him /; and we see nothing in what lie did
say in reply TO our article Of last week
which calls for rejoinder. We will,
however, remind him that we did not
try TO make II appear that "high pro-
fectiye tariffs are right aud beneficial to
the whole country" We seldom touch
the tariff question. Whenever we do
or certainly almost always-we do II
for the purpose OF reminding too
jealous tariff reformers that there
are twp sides to the protection question,
and, therefore, that 1t is not necessary to
divide The Democratic party on that ques-
ton. II Is not altogether certain that
he city Of Richmond would be benefited

The Washington RcpUbiicans arti-
Gle of yesterday, purporting to be an
argument on a constitutional question, Is
unworthy of notice. If the Republican
could name one respectable lawyer, even
in the Republican party, who would
endorse its alleged reasoning, we should
be surprised. There is no more reason
to doubt the soundness Of our argument
than there is to doubt that the sum of
two and two is four. 1t is impossible
now for any State, southern or northern,
to deny or abridge a Negroes right to
vote.
The Republican'S argument will be
appreciated at its real worth by the in
telligent reader when he learns that that
paper argues that if Louisiana were to
lose half of her population by floods in
the Mississippi river that States repre-
sentation in Congress would be reduced
under the fourteenth amendment

RICHMOND SKATERS,
Thousands OF Them on the Lake Yes
terdny and Last Might.

terday and Last Might.
The chief field of sport with Rich
mond devotees of the skating art is the
large lake at. the New reservoir. This
has been the case for years past, and
especially is it so this winter when by
means of the West End extension OF the
City Railway Company's Line persons
from any section of the city can reach
the lake in a short while, and with no
great discomfort or inconveDience either.
The crowds yesterday and the day be-
fore were very large, and on both nights
large parties were made up to go out and
enjoy the fun by moonlight. The ice
is in fine condition, being from four to
six inches thick, and, where it has not
been "cut up, very smooth and CLASSY.
In addition 10 the participants
many go out to look on, and with interest
watch the antics andmanGuyres of the ex-
perts and to laugh at the ever-falling but
irrepressible beginner. The dummy atthis
season makes trip every half hour and
stops at p. NJ. To accommodate the
skaters. however, cars drawn by mules
were run last night until a late hour,
making connections going and coming
with the regular cars. These were well
patronized last night. The moon was
shining brightly, and more beautiful
night for skating can scarcely be had.
Thus far the season has been without
fatal casualties, but there have been
several narrow escapes. Day before yes
terday a young man broke through at
the lake and received cold reception,
and yesterday son OF Mr.. Howard
Swineford shared a similar fate. Fortu-
nately he was rescued before suffering
to any extent. The lake nearly always
has one or more thin places, and skaters
have to be very careful of them.

According to the Disp0tch's idea if
the Mississippi river were to rise out Of
its banks and food the State OF Missis-
sippi from the banks of the great river
TO the Alabama State line, leaving ex-
posed two or three hill tops upon which
Il dozen men were cOngregated, but
sweeping into the sea every other inhabi-
tant of the State, these dozen would be
entitled to their seven Representatives
and two Senators in the Congress of the
United States Washington Repa6H-
can.
So far as the fourteenth amendment
is concerned they certainly would. But
it is evident that the RepubHcon does
not know this. 1t supposes that if Mis-
sisisppi we're to lose all her voters ex-
cept dozen, the fourteenth amendment
would thereby be violated and that
somebody would thereby abridge the
right Of negroes to vote! That amend
ment proposes to punish State for not
allowing her male citizens to vote. All
persons agree that Territory without
voters wouldn't be State at all, much
less State entitled to representation in
Congress-.

night in the interest of the Catholic Uni
versity.
During the absence OF the Bishop
the vicar general. Very Rev. A. Van de
yyver, has full charge Of both the spirit
ual and temporal affairs OF the Church,
and never were they in better condi-
ton than under the present management
since the time OF the late Father Mulvey
(the first vicar-geperal of the diocese OF
Richmond, who died in 1869. This
very responsible position has been filed
by two very able men-Bishop Janssens
and Father Van de Vyer..
SACRED HEART.
The rectory of the Sacred Heart parish,
which is nearly finished, presents very
handsome appearance and reflects credit
on the architect and builder. The sun
dav-school classes are held there at $50
o'clock A. M. for the boys, and at l1:3O
o'clock for the girls.
The work on tue new church will be
resumed as soon as the weather will
permit.
The West End Beneficial Society,
which was started about two months ago,
counts already eighty-two members.
This society held its former meetings at
the temporary rectory, but to secure
more ample accommodation they have
rented a commodious room at the corner
of Pine and Cary streets.
