ported among the nihilists of northern
Russia, who are r~eorganising for the pur-
pose OF shortly undertaking extensive

herents to the order have been expelled,
ana o committee has been formed to as
gist prisoners to escape from Siberia, q

gained their freedom. Arrests of real

made secretly In st. Petersburg. Many
OF the prisoners are reported to have been

The State. 9Th instant.l


1t is not extravagant to say that there
is no volunteer company i'll any State in
this country that has more of the gen
uine military spirit than the organization
whose name headsthis article-Company
A, First Virginia regiment
It has at its head an energetic and
earnest ofhcer-Captain G. Gray Bos-
sieux-who has both personal and in
herited PRIDE in the company which his
lamented father SO gallantly led.
What Company A needs now is better
equipment, and its many friends ought
to see to it that the need is speedily sup
piled. The men are without oyercoats.
and they ask for the comparatively
small sum OF 5000, sum sufficient, how
ever, to satisfy this want.
They have spent i'll these years s., 900,
every dollar of which, save $500, has
been spent in this city, and now for the
first time they ask aid of the public, of
whose interests they are SO ready safe
guard. The response should he prompt
and substantial. Contributions could be
given to no worthier cause. The cap
tain, two lieutenants, sergeant, and
corporal constitute the committee who
will visit our citizens and solicit the as
sistaDce that is needed and is Just. Let
us learn to value our military organiza-
tons in times of quiet as correctly as we
value them in days of riot and disturb
ance.

A Quorum.
can organ

On the Doth ultimo we suggested that
flibuster;ng in the national House OF
Representatives might be prevented bya
constitutional amendment providing that
quorum shall consist OF one third or
one fourth or one fifth of the members
The Philadelphia telegraph Of Saturday
saws that before the House there is now
proposition that when revenue and
general appropriation bills are under
consideration in Committee Of the Whole
100 members shall constitute quorum
instead of 1853, which number is a ma
jority Of the whole House.
The telegraph charges that the
"Free-Tradors are responsible for this
proposition. We do not know how
much truth there is in the charge but
we ore not surprised to learn that the
proposition will encounter vigorous OPP
position. We can recolloct when the
adoption of the one-hour rule by the
House OF Representatives was denounced
as tyranuical suppression of the free
dom of spetch. We are sure, however,
that this reform" must come ere long
A quorum of the British House OF Lords
consists OF only three members.
The proposition, it will be noticed, Is
TO fix quorum for the Committee OF
the Whole and not for the House Of Re
presentatives. This was done no doubt
because the House Itself can adopt the
proposition in the form Of rule !;
whereas since the Constitution provides
how many members shall constitute a
quorum in the House, constitutional
amendment must be ratified before the
number constituting a quorum in that
body can be changed.

Mr.. O'FERRABb made an excellent
speech last Saturday in the national
House Of Representatives in the con
tested-election case from Indiana. 1t
was unanswerable, it seems to us. Be

too rigid in their construction OF the
naturalization laws. The northern Demo
