The Washington Post is attacking
the Blair Bill as unconstitutional. It
Is a mystery to us how any sensible
people a deny to Congress the pow
er of assisting the States ia the work
OF educating the masses, when appro-
Pr1atlons are made every yea for va
rlous purposes, some not nearly SO me-
rltOrlous, without cayil or complaint.
1t we are to De. strict constructionists
OF the Constitution, then where, do we
ask, is the power cohft rred in that in
strument for the work on rivers and
harbcrs? And yet, every year. millions
OF public moneys are appropriated for
this worthy purpose, to the general
approval of the whole country. save
the railroad interests possibly. Let
this nonsense about the unconstitution-
atty of the Blair Bill cease, and let us
bend every effort towards, securing Us
large an appropriation as possible fo1
our schools. BY passing the Blair Bill
and by making liberal appropriations
for the rivers and harbors of the corn-
try, Congress will have gone a long
way towards solving the question of
the surplus in the Federal Treasury.

Dangerous Convicts.

NASHVILLE, Tenn Dec. 12.-The failure
of Tire desperate attempt of the c~onvicts OF
toe main priscn in this city to escape four
weeks ago was but the beginning of a still
more desperate attempt. The prison off
cials for some tine had suspected that ar
other effort to get away WAS contemplated
and yesterday discovered concealed on the
persons OF c|ongicts and in beds between iii.
ty and sixty knives, fifteen or twenty razors,
one revolver ard three ropes. IL is believed
by the authorities that the c~onvicts had ar
ranged to make desperate break for liberty
and that the weapons were to be used to
toe beet advantage against tie guards who
might interfere. In one Of the cells were
discovered a lamp, a ladel and white metal
used for making counterfeit money. Pieces
OF bogus coin were taken from a convict,
put no dies came to light.

a Fighf Mill OYsler Dredgers.

As noticed in yesterdays GAZETTE the
Maryland State steamer Governor Nc
Lane, commanded by Captain Howard, had
8 fight on Monday night in Chester river,
eff Queenstown, with a fleet of Oyster
dre1gers. Two of the oyster vessels were
sunk and several of their men were drown
ed. The fight began shortly after seven
o'clock and waged until 1880. When tie
McLane saw the fleet she blew for the bout:
TO haul down their jiba, but no heed WAS
paid to the mandate. Then Capt. Howard
shouted his order but this was likewise dis
obeyed. Then the order 10 fire was given,
and hall dozen rifle bullets whistled over
the fleet. IRE fire was returned, and bul-
let's smashed the windows of the wheel
house and buried themselves in the cabin
The steamer was hauled across the bows Of
the d~reGgers and toe fight began in earnest.
Then the cannon WAS brought into play,
and its charge of grapeshot and canister
was fred into tho fleet. What destIuc-
ton it caused is not known, but
the shct smashed the windows Of
the cabins and made the sails shiver. The
steamer then hauled around to reload. All
this time the dredgers were firing at the
gNObA GAb ~ cfO ''eC 1o'
cannon he'd been reloaded the McLane
hauled round 10 the sterns Of nine boats
Joined together, and the cannon was again
fred within twenty feet of the %dredgers, but
the aim was too low, and no damage result
ed. Capt. Howard then determined to ram
the vessels. The steamer was headed for
the schooner Julia Jones, and struck her on
the starboard side. She filed and sank in
FIVE fathoms Of water, being cut loose from
the fleet, her crew jumping aboard the ad-
Joining vessel. AZ soon as the steamer had
freed herself fiom the sinking schooner a
dredger who wan found in the bow was
seized and placed bslow, and As the steamer
hauled OF from the fleet 9 shot penetrated
the pilot-house and struck Mate Frazier,
who was ct The wheel, passing through his
left arm. As The fleet still refused to haui
down its sails, the Mclene was
hauled around 10 the port side OF the fleet,
and the puugy ]. G. Mahoney was rammed.
She was struck on the port quarter. The
steamer then attempted to back out, hut
was fastened. Capt. Howard then ordered
her to go ahead, and she plunged forward,
turning the pungy over on her beam ends.
The steamer cleared herself and backed ell
The pungy in the meantime had broken
loose from the feet and dlifled ell. Five OF
her crew of twelve men took tho yaWl and
escaped, but the others we're dro|ned. Is
the melee one dredger was shot. The can
non was reloaded, and when the McLsnc
prepared for another attack the fleet had
broken and scattered. The steamer remain.

The Anti-sHahoneits.

A conference Of the anti Malone wing OF
the republican party in Virgins was held in
Richmond last night. when q resolution was
adopted appointing an advisory committee
TO be invested with the power of perfectipg
a thorough organization of the party in the
State. The duty of this board is to prepare
q full statement of the political situation in
Virginia, and present the same to President
Harrison as early rs possible. The commit
tee is composed of V. D. Groner, of Norfolk;
W. e. Cameron. of Petersburg John +.
Lewis, of Rockingham jacob Yost, OF
Staunton James W. Bradley, OF Peters-
burg: n. n. Norton, colored, OF York
w. c. Pendloton, OF Smythe. and James
A. Ffazior. of Rockbridgo. The conference also
adopted a resolution, that it is deemed unwise
and incxpodicmt for the electoral vote of Virginia
TO be dragged into the courts as proposed by Gen.
Malone. The Object of such a movement, the res
olution declares, is intended By Malone 10 draw
attention from his mismansgemant of the recent
canvass in Virginia, and especially in the fourth
district, By which the electoral vote OF the State
was lost. The conference deemed it best not to
make any recommendation to Harrison Of any
one for a cabinet position. There was a general
desire expressed for Hon. John s. Wise to secure
g good place, but ii was thought in bad taste TO
the mama OF any one. Among those pres.
ent at the conference were w. G. Mayo, Gen. V.
D. Groner. d. F. Houston, James A. Fraz er, w.
c. Pendlcton and Lewis Mckenzie, of Alexandra;
