The organized hospitality which the bar Of
this city proposes to extend to the Chief JUS
tice Of the United States during his approach
ing soiourn in Richmond is entirely proper
and becoming in whatever aspect it may be
considered.
Chief-Justice Fuller occupies the most
exalted legal position IN the world, being the
most conspicuous law officer OF the greatest Of
republics and of millions of freemen. The
seat which he fills will always be regarded
with peculiar veneration by Nirginians, since
the principal lustre emanatins from the men
who have occupied it, is derived from the i'm
mortal services of Marshall, who stands among
the three or four most eminent jurists whose
names are recorded in the annals of civilized
nations.
Chief-Justice Fuller himself as a Judge and
as a man is entitled to the highest considera-
ton apart from the distinction of his Office
To the Southern people he 10 the most ac-
ceptable person who has occupied the Chief
Justiceship since the death Of Chief-J Justice
fancy for neither his career as a private in
dividual nor his career as a great public officer
is associated with the unholy crusades which
in the past have been made upon the material
interests and political rights of dissection
This will do much to lend peculiar warmth
TO his reception by the people Of our COM
munity.
Apart from all these considerations namely
the exalted nature of the Office of Chief Justice
and the distinguished career of the man as a
lawyer, jurist and an individual-the Bar
Association of Richmond is true to its own
character in extending to Chief Justice Fuller
that courtesy to which he is SO Justly entitled
Famous in the past for the learning, the in
tegrity and the eloquence of its members, the
present bar Of our city has the same high
claims to distinction which have existed in its
favor in other periods of its history. 1t is
body of men which. in all that secures re-
spect and admiration, whether in the point of
character or attainments, is unsurpassed by the
bar of any city in the United States. The
honor which the Chief Justice will confer 10y
his presence at the reception which will be
extended him on Tuesday night will be equaed
by the honor which he will receive in making
the acquaintance of the members of our bar
The mutual impression will, we have no
doubt, be of a most agreeable character. and
the mutual introduction will long be cher
ished as most pleasing and interesting event
by both parties

DANGERS OF MADE-EARTH.

1t is fact generally recognized and also
generally admitted that what 10 designated as
''made-earth" is not a wholesome foundation
for house and that much illhealth is directly
traceable to this source. and that If it were
practicable the law should prohibit the cree
ton Of buildings in which human beings are
to reside permanently, on any site which does
not belong TO an original formation or to
what virtually amounts to it,
Such prohibition is in the very nature of
things an impossibility, especially in city
that has grown up like Richmond upon an
unequal surface, and where the depressions
are frequently SO deep as to require the de-
post Of vast amount Of dirt to obtain the
necessary level for building purposes.
But there is one thing which is far from be-
ing an impossibility, and that is close super
vision of the character of the dirt which ia
dumped into these depressious as means of
securing the level that is aimed at If any one
will take the pains to make an examination of
the piles or rows of earth that will be observed
wherever a very considerable area of depressed
ground is in the process of being filed in, he
will discover in nine cases out OF ten. and
upon the most cursory inspection. that these
piles or rows Of earth are very largely com.

posed of every kind Of debris. The materials
70 be found In them are of the most miscel-
lsneous character wood. sticks, strips
Of clothing and trash of every variety.
Much If not all of this stuff Ia in stage
of decomposition, and when turned in under
the earth as each additional cart dumps its
load. becomes the centre of more or less
noisome gases, imprisoned apparently, but in
reality difusing through the crevices In the
surrounding earth in which this mixed stuff
is imbedded. unwholesome and unhealthy ex-
halations. When q foundation is dug for q
house in such mass as this it is not surpris-
ing that there should DO released a thousand
subtle emanations that spread abroad the
germs of i'll health and continue to do so until
the whole mass by the action of time has lost
the faint with which IL was originally infected.
There is no special reason why earth care
fully selected and dumped in a depression 10
produce level should create an unhealthy
foundation for house. Exposure TO the air
does not necessarily permeate ii with un-
wholesome germs to be afterwards given out
when the openings Of the house which has
been built upon it offer an opportunity for
escape. Whether such earth is more or less
the cause of disease or not, it admits of no
question whatever that It is far safer than
mass Of mixed material that is in its nature
perishable and therefore unwholesome.
More careful attention should be given to
this matter by our Board Of Health than it is
now in the habit of doing. SO far as we are
aware interference even in instances which
plainly should be prohibited have hitherto
been unknown. There can be little doubt as
TO the right to interfere, certainly in extreme
cases if not in all for it is a matter that in
wolves in an appreciable degree the health Of
the community at large or the health Of par
ticular localities.
SO much filling in is necessary in every part
of Richmond that the question of what is
known as made earth is a serious and import
ant one, requiring an unusual amount of in
telhgent attention. We hope to see this
question receiving larger degree of consider
alton in the future than has been given 10 it
in the past, or which is being extended toiti
the present No source Of i'll health is too
petty to justify its being regarded as not suf-
fciently important TO deserve the notice of
those who are in charge of the health of the
city.

A NEW feature of a number of the summer
escorts in the Valley of Virginia this season
will be the substitution of white for colored
waters. This is quite q marked innovation,
but it is yet to be fully tested by actual ex-
pertinent. II is an innovation which has in
large measure been forced upon the pro-
prietors of the Valley resorts by the emigra-
ton for the summer of their colored employees
10 the leading watering places in the Northern
States and in the Virginia mountains. There
is very general complaint Of the indifferent
character of these negro walters. an evil that
has been steadily growing. until in some in
stances il has become intolsrable. Employ
ment IS being given to white girls. and SO far
the change has been highly satisfactory to
proprietors and guests.

The conservative character of the English
Government is shown in the care which it is
taking to prevent the law which has been
passed for free education from diminishing
the prosperity of the private schools. These
schools will receive assistance so as to enable
them to give free education within certain
limits, but no attempt will be made TO super
wise their management. The system Of public
schools now in operation will be enlarged very
materially but the Government practically
restricts its aid to elementary education in
this instance. both in the public and private
schools.
