Tom and Joe. Two Farmer Boys in War
and Peace and Love. A Louisiana
Memory. Cloth, II mo-, 260 pages.
Price S1.25. Published by the Ev-
erett Waddey Company, Richmond,
Va.
The author OF this delightful little lit
erary brochure (Which has been men
toned heretofore in these columns) has
brought not only his mind but his
heart under contribution in its pages
and the simplicity, humor, and pa
thos with which he tells his story
enlist from the outset the interest OF the
reader. A history Of the lives of two
southern boys, its opening chapters are
laid in the years Immediately preceding
the war, aaording US some pleasant
glimpses OF plantation life in the South,
evidently from the hand OF one who
looks back through vista OF
sweet and tender memories to those
halcyonand happy days, ere the bursting
war-cloud sent its missiles OF death to 20
many brave and manly hearts and its
messages Of sorrow to so many homes.
In the lives of these two boys, one Of
whom laid down his fresh young life
upon the eltar Of his country in ODE
dience to his conscientious convictions
of duty, and the other, who survived
the wreck of country, the destruction
of homes, and the loss Of those he most
loved, but with equal courage went
forth into the wide world with busy
brain and hard to build for himself a
home, about which he gathered the
flowers and fruits OF love, We have an
epitome of the lives Of hundreds, aye,
thousands, OF southern boys.
The story is wildly and patheti
cally told, without one touch Of bit
terness or hate, and should find read
ers in whose hearts it touches a respon
sive chord in every section of our com
mon country.

tho existing trouble, and many Repub-
licans are opposed to having it called.
The true way out Of the difficulty would
seem to be 10 get the controversy before
the Supreme Court OF the State--a
course 10 which the Republicans should
in,erposs no objection las it is Repub-
loan bench).
Tho true way out Of the difficulty is
not so easily discovered as The Nation
would seem to think it is. Suppose the
Supreme Court should render a decision
in the very words Of Messrs. HoAR and
RUSSELL, would that tic the hands OF tho
two houses OF the Legislature p? Would
not each OF those houses still claim the
constitutional right to Judge OF the cleo
tons, qualifications, and returns OF It's
own members What could the court
do in the event of such action? How
would il enforce its mandates?
CHANDLER is represented to be at the
end OF bis rope but we are not sure OF
that. The man who swiadled tho peo-
pie of the whole United States in 1876
will not allow any ordinary obstacle to
obstruct his pathway towards success.
He has raised nice point for the courts
or the Legislature to decide and we shall
expect to hear OF others of his sharp
tricks before Senator BLAIR's successor
is elected,

Our General Assembly.

Numbers Of our contemporaries have
discussed the question Of an extra session
of the General Assembly this winter, and
come TO the conclusion that it IS alto
gether unnecessary and therefore Gov
ernor McK1NvEY is right in declaring
emphatically that he will not call it.
If their premises are correct their con-
clusion is unavoidable.
Where We differ from them is as to the
necessity. They think there IS none
and that probably there will be none,
We think there are already some good
reasons for the extra session aud that by
the 18th of January there will DO many
more.
The spirit of the Constitution cannot
be complied with unless the reapportion-
ment for members Of the General AS
sembly is made in time for the members
70 be elected from the new districts in
November, 1891. 1t will not do to say,
and it would not be true to say, that this
reapportionment will not require any
material changes The contrary is the
fact. The census of this year was
revelation to our people. That it is cor
rect We do not believe, but still it must
guide if not control us in rearrsnging the
districts for senators and delegates.
If we waive this question, however,
there will be in our iugdment other good
reasons for calling the General Assembly
here this winter.
We Judge that the OLCoTT-C1EvEnASD
Committee will desire to have their pro-
position acted upon by this Legislature
Some reforms in our railroad laws are
needed and if not now made will have
to be made under popular pressure
brought to bear at the election in No
vember, 1891. We know Of many rail-
road, land, and mining companies that
are seeking franchises from the State.
The number Of lunatics who cannot be
accommodated in our asylums demands
that immediate steps be taken for their
relief. The oyster question continues to
perplex Tidewater Virginia, while this
precious and luscious bivalve seems
doomed to as certain destruction as that
now nearly accomplished with respect
TO the buffalo and the seal
But enough. About the middle OF Janu-
ary our valued contemporaries may see
this matter in different light. If so,
we shall expect them to join us in urging
call for an extra session.
The presence Of the Legislature is
always agreeable to the people of Rich
mond. OF course, we like TO have it
here, but no ouch selfish idea as this
controls us. The meagreness of the
States revenues forbids such thought OF
indulging our wishes at the great cost OF
any extra session. But We think that
for business and political purposes 1t
will have to come, and we believe that
by the middle ofJanuary this will be the
consensus of that opinion which can
most safely be relied upon to guide us in
matters of this sort.

He AIissed Himself.

A French landed proprietor and col
onel of dragons had deadly quarrel,
says On exchange. Blood only could
wash out the insults that had passed be-
tween them. Both men were eccentric
TO degree, and they agreed that lots
should DO drawn and that the loser
should at once proceed to some retired
spot and shoot himself. The next
morning the opponents and their sec
onds met at a small cafe outside the
town. Lots were duly drawn, the
landed proprietor proving the winner.
The colonel took his bad fortune
calmly he wrote few lines upon piece
OF paper which he handed to his sec
ond, took an afectionate farewell Of all,
and forgaye his more fortunate sdver-
sary, as Christian gentleman ought to
do. He then, accepting the loaded
pistol, moved steadily into an adjoining
room and closed the door.
The others remained breathlessly
awaiting the detonation which was to
convey 10 them the male OF the trag-
edy. At last ii came eagerly they ran
to tho door of the fatal chamber. when
it was thrown open, and the supposed
defunct stood on the threshold grasping
the smoking weapon.
Heavens gentlemen, exclaimed he,
with bland smile, lis 1t not unfortu-
nate? i have missed myself"

Law as 70 Fire-Escapes.

Our attention has been called 10 the
fact that the city ordinances do not re-
quire horoscopes to be put on hotels,
factories, places OF amusement, and other
buildings OF more than three stories in
height until January l, 1891.
SO, until New Years day, there is no
penalty upon HORSEPOWER for failing
TO provide for the safety OF the people
who may be lodged or employed on his
property or who may como there in the
way of amusement But inasmuch as
there is no eysding the provisions OF a
law which is based upon public approval,
justice, humanity, and sound sense, it
seems to us that property owners might
as well proceed forthwith TO get their
iron ladders and put them in position.
A serious fire may occur at any mo-
ment All the lives lost that could have
been saved by the presence OF frees.
oapes will be chargeable to those whose
duty II is 10 look out for the security OF
guests or employees under their roofs.
Nothing can exceed the horror OF the
average person who is awakened from
sound sleep by some ono shouting

The Debt

The OLCorr-CLEyELASD committee are
steadily but quietly at work "hlving
the old bonds of Virginia as preiiml-
nary to a proposition which they viii
make for the settlement Of all existing
disputes with reference to the debt.
The present seems an opportune time
for bringing the long-drawn-out litiga-
tion and irritation TO a close, and we are
the more hopeful OF the good results
from the committees efforts, because
they have been careful to ascertain pub
lie opinion in this State. To this end
they have consulted leading Nirgmians
who know not only the resources ana
capabilities of Virginia. but the demands
upon her revenues who look not only
upon her blooming" towns, but upon
her agricultural lands i; not only upon
the reassessment exhibit, but upon the
showing of the census.
We think both sides want to end this
question, and if so a way will be found.
Ii will be better for the bondholders
and for us. II done our new 3s, which
now hover between CT and &c, will rise
to -, and in another year to 50, and will
finally go almost to par.
Yes, if possible, let US hasten the set
Element. The OLcoTT-CLEyELAND com
mittee, however, are compelled to pro
coed somewhat slowly. They have to
argue with many bondholders to get
them to join the movement but when
they do get the bonds pooled and their
plan approved by the creditors they will
be able to treat with the State with
authority never before possessed by any
bondholders' committee.
Meantime our Treasury is enjoying o
respite from the visitation OF coupons.
Few or no coupons are this year being
paid for taxes This is one Of the signs
which show that the committee have
both influence and sagacity.

Now Hamnshlre-Agaln.


The telegram in the DISPATCH Of yes
terday from Concord in regard to the
CHANDLER conspiracy in New Hamp-
shire was not go full nor so clear as to
satisfy those who have watched with in
terest the progress of the movement
begun by the conspirators to prevent the
Government OF that State from being
turned over to tho Democratic party,
which gained the victory at tue late cleo
ton. A United States senatorship is at
stake. IL is said in tdst telegram that
the only business which viii be done at
the special session OF the New Hamp-
shire Legislature will DO the election of
o clerk and his assistant But this an
nouncemont ignores the fact that a law
OF the United States provides that on
The second Tuesday after the meeting and
organization OF the Legislature last
chosen before the expiration Of the term
OF q senator from any given State, that
Legislature shall proceed to ballot for
bis successor.
The question involved in this New
Hampshire middle is now said to be a
judicial one and not legislative one.
That is to say, the two Houses OF the
Legislature cannot claim the right to de-
eide that question under that section OF
the State Constitution which clothes
each house with the power to decide
upon the election qualifications and re-
turns OF It's own members. This opin-
ION is held by Mr.. Il. RICHMOND HoAB,
Of Massachusetts,, Attorney General
OF the United States under Gen.
sral GnAST, whom we here in Viz
ginia must recognize as a fair minded
man, since we found him to bo such at 6
trying time-namely, when the Ca
HooS.EILYsoS case was pending be
fore Judge UNDERWOOD. The Nation
which is careful in stating such pro
positions, says that tho question t
DO decided in New Hampshire is nothing
more nor less than the following: " Tn
der the Constitution and laws Of tn
State as they existed on the 4th Of No
vember, 1890. what towns anil ward
were entitled to choose members who's.
names should 60 upon the roll when tn,
new House meets?" The Democrat
hold that the Supreme Court Of New
Hampshire "a Republican COURT should
decide this question, aud it seems 10 b.
liberal in them 30 TO hold. Mr.. HoAr
and Mr. N. q. RUssELI. the latter also
nne lawyer, have as counsel given il a
their opinion that OF the "clssset
towns" (this phrase was explained in tn
DIspArcH few days ago. only thos,
could legally elect members this yea
whose turn it was under the old act pass
Cd after the census OF 1880 was taken.
II d for this reason that We say that Mr.
HoAR insists that the two houses o.
the Legislature cannot decide til,
question. The Nation adds:
"The result Of this. rs we understand
II, would DO 10 give the control OF the
House ct the start to the Democrats. II ID

Thn Moetinr Of Congress


The second session OF the Fifty first
Congress begins tomorrow, and it is de-
stined TO DO very interesting one.
The people will read Presidents HAIR
ersoS's message with eagerness TO see
whether he recommends that his party
accept in good faith tho popular verdict
recorded in November, or whether tho
document will be stuffed with excuses
for their shortcomings at the polls.
in the one case, if the views of Mr..
HARRISON are accepted by the majority
in Congress, IL will be the duty of the
two houses to abandon the force bill, re-
model the MCKINLEY bill, put check to
the pension frauds, hear the voice OF the
farmers with respect to the agricultural
interests, and begin to legislate for the
Union instead OF for a section Of o Sec
fion.
To adopt this course will require a
confession OF error. A man OF true
courage finds no difficulty in making an
acknowledgment that he has boon mis-
taken but piddling politicians such as
HARRISON. REED. MCKINLEY q Co. have
high opinions Of themselves and IN their
egotism assume TO be well-nigh infallible.
We doubt il anything can induce them
20 make a candid admission Of their blum
ders, and are, therefore, prepared to
hear that they are III favor OF con-
tinuinp in the same old course, with
probably enough diversion on the tariff
question to trick the people with some
OF Mr.. BLANK's reciprocity ideas. The
senators will be appealed to to pass the
force bill while the House proceeds TO
make the reapportionment Of members
In Congress and in the electoral college.
1t seems incredible that the Senate
will undertake to pass the force bill. 1t
did not try to do il at the last session,
and there is nothing in the popular eI-
preston Of November 4th which will
encourage them now. REED and Row
xLL may storm, out many OF the No
publican senators have no fear OF them.
and the Democrats can be as potential
now as ever.
Mr.. HARRISON will Of course discuss
the tarif, but it is more likely that he
will insist that it was condemned before
Il was tried than that it is essentially
wrong. He is not man of boldness
and brightness indeed in the opinion
OF many Republicans as we'll as Demo
Gratis, bis is about the dimmest light that
ever shone in the White House.
The Democratic cause is in very
hopeful condition.
If the Republicans turn back they
will divide themselves into factions. If
they fly in the face of the people they
will be overwhelmed with defeat in 1892,
