Mass Meeting About DIR. 4. c. Powells
Non Reelection.

DINwIDDIE COURTHOUSE, Va, January
d. Special. AT a mass-meeting held by
the Democrats Of the county Of Dinwiddie,
on the 10Th day Of January, at the court
house. DR.. John +. Chambers, was
made chairman and John Y. Harris,
secretary. The following preamble and
resolutions were offered and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, we have heard that Dr. Eugene
c. Powell, our efficient superintendent OF
Schools, has been displaced by the state
Board Of Education without allowing the
people OF the county an opportunity toeN-
press their wishes i'm the matter-the frst
intimatiOn DR.. Powell had that his tenure
was not secured by the commission he held,
having been received by him when away
from home in the actual discharge of the
duties Of his office; and the first intimation
our people had Of the defect in his cOmmis-
sion was a newspaper article announcing
the election of his successor, and feeling
aggrieyed that such action should have been
taken without first ascertaining the wishes
Of our people,
Resolved, by the Democrats Of Dlnwiddie
county i'm mass meeting assembled, that
while they would naturally have expected
their political adversaries to take every
advantage offered by a technicality, they
had reason TO expect and right to de-
mand better treatment in the mousse OF
their friends.
That in the Judgment Of this meeting
this ill-adyised action Of the state Board OF
Education, endorsed by the Senate, tends
10 undo the toll Of years % swing Dinwid-
die into the Democratic column.
That. being persuaded that. there must
have been some misrepresentation made 10
the state Board of Education and the SEN
ate. that in the interest Of the Democratic
partv a committee Of three be appointed 10
visit Richmond and ascertain the facts IN
the case. 20 the end that censure shall iall
where 10 justly belongs.
J. {. smith, W. l.. Reams, and John o
Harris were appointed the committee.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1890-01-23

Navy reiterated his views expressed hereto
fore TO the committee in favor Of the bill.
Admiral Shufeldt made an argument
against the bill. and in favor Of the con-
struction Of monitors, torpedo boats and
harbor-defense vessels, rather than battle
ships.
MALONE VS.. BRADY.
Colonel Brady il IN Washington, but IL
not anxous about his confirmation. lie
has uncovered Mah0ne's duplicity, in that
Malone said. he would not oppose Brady's
confirmation. II has been developed that
Senators Quay. Chandler. Teller. Allison.
HiscOck. Aldrich. Higgins and others. are
in favor of Brady's confirmation. Senator
Sherthah is the only member OF the Finance
Committee, who hesitates to say ne VIII
vote for Brady. II has been shown that
Malone has written letters 10 Senators
Morrill, and Sherman, asking them 10 defeat
Brady. but the latter is jubilant. as he is
sure OF victory. and at the same time be
will down Malone.
PORTS or ENTRY AND DELIVERY.
Secretary Window has written a letter to
Hon. John Lind in regard 10 bills now
pending before Congress, making number
Of ports Of entry and ports ofdelivery. After
discussing the various bills in detail, and OPP
posing the passage Of most Of them, he says:
~ deem this a fitting opportunity 70 invite
attention to the undesirability Of legislation
whereby ports are created az places where
there Is no necessity therefor The number
OF existing ports il now far in excess OF the
needs Of business, and the expense OF col
lecting the revenue is greater than II should
he. in consequence. I'm my judgment
ports should only be established on the sea
board and frontier at places where there Is
commerce with foreign countries ana AT
such interior points as may properly be re.
garded as distributing centres. The hxed
appropriation for collecting the revenue
from customs is now, and has been for sew
eral wears. insufficient for the proper neces-
stiles of the service, condition OF affairs
largely owing 10 the existence Of expensive
and unnecessary custom establishments
