Curious Feature OF the Grip.

Most Of the newspapers that come to
this Office contain accounts Of people i'll
from the grip. Europe as well as America
is suffering from this grieyous malady,
which is recognized everywhere as the in
huenza with variations If not improve
ments.
A singular fact about it is that persons
who are undergoing Imprisonment are but
little affected by it. The Virginia peni.
Tertiary has within its walls about 1000
convicts and they are crowded in small
and ill-ventilated cells, and they live on
coarse fare and have very little open-air
exercise.
The cell accommodations there were
planned for only three or four hundred
persons and are now, pending the compile.
ton of the new addition to the buildings
occupied by three times that number; yet
grip finds no Judgment there. Nor has it
ever prevailed to any considerable extent
in the city jail, which, while less crowded
is located in q quarter of the city where,
according to all sanitary theories, the Oc-
cupsnts should be very unhealthy. The
truth is, however, that the Jail has always
been one of the healthiest places in
Richmond.
These are facts. We leave the deductions
from them to be drawn by our friends OF
the medical profession. And they might
likewise consider the anomaly presented
some months ago when diphtheria pre-
vailed here to O lamentable extent, and
when no section was more exempt from il
than that bordering on Shockoe creek,
which is nothing but great open sewer
that is well cleansed only when heavy
rains fall.

The Florida senatorship.

The United States Senate will assemble
tomorrow and among the interesting cases
which 1t will be called upon TO decide will
be the Standardization from Flo
rida, in which case Mr.. CALL claims his
election by the Legislature and Mr.. DA-
WILSON claims that be was constitutionally
appointed by tho Governor, the pretended
election of Mr.. CALL being Invalid.
This case has attracted no little attention
throughout the country 1t is unusually
interesting and important, owing TO the
fact that in order TO seat Dir. DAVIDSON the
United States Senate must ignore or run
counter 20 law which has been in ex-
istence for good many years, and which
has never been questioned in tho Senate
itself. we think since its passage.
This law Is a United States statute
providing tor the election Of United
States senators. In framing it an
attempt was made so to dratt 1t as to pre-
vent either house Of q State Legislature
from refusing to 60 into joint assembly for
the purpose of eleeting q United States
senator when there was q vacancy TO be
filed by the Legislature. In order to ac-
complish this end Congress provided by
law that in q certain contingency. though
less than G quorum of one house might
participate in an election, the election
should be valid If majority of the men,
bers Of the General Assembly took part in
II. That is, the law provides that mi
nority Of one house acting in joint assem-.
bly, with the other house may elect a
United States senator. The object Of this
law was good. Ii has sometimes been
acted on. 1t has been in force for more
than twenty years. Now il comes up for
consideration in the United States Senate.
The Florida case covers the whole ground.
II II 10 constitutional law IL will pass un-
scathed through the FIRE. If not constitu-
tional IL must perish. The Senate has the
right and the power 10 eonsign 1t TO the
moles and the bats.
The whole case turns upon the question
whether joint assembly consisting Of A
quorum Of one house and less than quo
rum Of the other house is legislature
within the meaning of that section Of the
Federal Constitution which provides that
United States senators shall DO chosen by
The legislatures OF the several States. Did
The Legislature Of Florida elect Mr. GAIL
or was he elected by pretended legisla-
ture7 TO our mind II appears clear that
there could be no constitutional election
hsld under the circumstances The joint
assembly was not slswful body. 1t was not
competent 10 elect United States senator.
But there are able constitutional lawyers

cided opinions In favor of the validity OF

Flltration Of James-Riyer water:

4 al dNAOiA VI OaAAOR-ASANAA w e%NSA'
The recent rains and SHOWS extending
over the country between Richmond and
| the Allegheny mountains will have the ef-
feet of depriving us of the beautifully
clear river water which we have been
enjoying for many months past. and
soon we may expect to have the filtration
! question mp for discussion again.
1t is certain that the city Of Richmond
is in no condition now to go to the ex-
pense Of providing general system TO
clarity the water as IL goes into the reser-
| yoirs, but there ls no reason why, IN con-
temptation Of the future, when the City
Hall debt will not be 80 heavily felt as at
present. plan should not be devised and
adopted. which will guarantee to the citi-
zens Of Richmond, forever, clear hydrant
water.
All that can be said against our river
water is that il is very unattractive when
il is muddy. and we feel sure that it is not
az wholesome when muddy as when clear.
Clear James-river water is purer than
the water Of nine out OF ten Of the cities OF
our size II is purer, too, than the Arte-
sian well water Of several cities that we
know of. These points ore established by
chemical analyses and comparison, and by
the fact that there is no well authenticated
case Of any one ever having been made
sick by James-river water. An analysis OF
our hydrant- water made few weeks ago
by chemist of great eminence in his pro-
fession showed that the water was better
than ever before.
1t is, nevertheless, our duty TO secure
from the General Assembly at the present
session legislation that will, as far as pos
sible, prevent the befoulment of the
stream. The water which people drink
should not only be pure, but above suspi-
cion.
1t would require considerable mass of
refuse to pollute such mighty and fast
flowing stream as the James, but the APP
pearance of pollution anywhere does harm.
Those who wish to have clear hydrant
water during this winter will have to make
their own arrangements therefor. No hotel
or clearinghouse should set muddy water
before its guests when filters are as cheap
as they are now, and so easily managed
that barrel of water may be clarified in a
short time.
Doubtless in the course Of a few years
the Council will undertake to have all of
the city water filtered when the condition
Of the stream demands it; butfor the pres
ent individual effort must supply what the
municipality cannot.
And we must apply to tie General As
sembly for power to protect from defle-
ment the James river for a good long dis
lance above this city. Our water Is health
full. aud should be kept so. Few things
more unfortunate could happen than for
the people to have their minds filed with
erroneous ideas on this subject.

Hill and the Vetoes.

The Albany Epeaing Journal denies our
statement that the Republican legislatures
of New York are responsible for the re-
peated failures to reapportion representa-
ton in the Legislature of that State, and
declares that twice Republican Legisla-
ture passed bill tor taking the census OF
1885 and twice DAVID b. HILL vetoed the
measure, because it gave, as was the Gus
tom, the Secretary of State, Republican,
the opportunity to appoint census enume-
rators.
The Journal denies and then confesses.
II even has the effroAtery to charge that
Governor HILL is responsible for whatever
injustice may exist in the present appor-
tionment--that is, he vetoed the out
rageously unjust bills to which we alluded
the other day. The Journal is hereby re-
spectfully informed that we take the yetoes
Of Governor HILL to be proof positive Of
the injustice of the two bills passed by the
Republicans. Well do We know that he
would not have vetoed tolerable bill and
left the Democrats Of New York city and
Brooklyn suffering under the existing uu-
righteous apportionment.

thereupon marched over 10 the Senate

So there was no Senate present. If this

Thus the case stands. We do not know

IfferaFy Notes,

Miss MoLLIE ELLIOT SEAwELL's article
"On the Absence Of the Creative Faculty
in Women" appears in the New York
Critic of November goth. 1t is very well
written and the author makes out good
case. but we must dissent from her sweep
ing statement that women have done
nothing in literature accounted worthy to
live" She anticipates the "springing
of GEORGE ELIOT IN the very beginning OF
her article, nevertheless we must say that
Miss SEAwELL, to our mind, is singularly
deficient in literary taste and judgment
if she does not accord immortality to the
opening pages of Amos Barton" and TO
the shrewd and epigrammatio Mrs. PoYsER.
We also think that Jane Eyre +" will be
read as long as THAckKBAY or DICKENS.
Women may be deficient in tho creative
faculty, but to say that they have done
nothing in literature accounted worthy
TO live" is putting it too strong. What be-
comes Of ELIZABETH BARRETT Bro WING
and EMILY DICKINSON?

He calls attention to the curious fact,
which many of us have noticed, that tho

last brought ourselves to perform the irk-
some duty, the mind Of our correspondent
has been moved at the same time. and the
