ator Hunton has withdrawn from the
candidacy for the long term Senator
ship and is conceded the short term

ture to serve out the balance of the late
Senator Barbour's term of service,
which expires March 3rd, 1895, when
he will be succeeded by Gen. Lee.

THE GOVERNOR in his messageto the
legislature recommends the employ
ment ola competent engineer who shall
supcrintend the construction and re-
pair of roads. This is a wise recon-
mendation and should be adopted at
the earliest practicable moment. The
money spent on the repair of county
roads, under the existing system, is just
so much thrown away, as the work
done on them one year, has to be done
over again the next.

THE GR1P.-There is reason to be-
lieve that this country is again threat
ened with an epidemic of the grip, the
disease which caused so much distress
and so many deaths when it visited this
country, two years ago. Physicians in
Washington, who have been puzzled
during the last two weeks at the many
o,ses of sickness which they have been
unable to explain, have concluded that
it is revisitation of the grip. Their
Supervising Surgeon General Wyman,
of the marine hospital service, who says
that the reports sent him weekly by
the representatives of the hospital ser
vice all over the country unite in the
announcement that the grip is max
ing its temperance, and that the
points along the Atlantic coast appear
to be particularly attacked.

In THE U. S. Senate yesterday Mr..
Mills summed up the Hawaiian affair,
when he said it made no difference
whether the government that was
first overthrown at Honolulu was
monarchy or whether the Queen was
immoral or as pure as Caesars wife. AS
the U. S. forces had subverted that
government, it was the duty of the
President to make prompt restitution
and to reinstate it as soon as possible.

THE PETERSBURG COUPON CASES
The trial of one hundred coupon cases
was begun before Judge B. A. Hancock
in the Circuit Court of Petersburg yes
terday. Six hundred jurymen were
summoned and about fifty cases were
disposed of, each in favor of the petit
TONERS. The other cases will be tried
on Saturday next.
Upon the calling of these coupon
cases yesterday morning Judge w. H.
Mann, representing the Commonwealth
as leading counsel, asked the court not
to summon any more jurors until the
Legislature had time to pass upon the
law requiring separate juries in all cases
in which the Commonwealth is defend
ant. Judge Mann said that when the
law was passed the Commonwealth was
fighting for its existence, but the pre-
sent condition of the public debt rem
dered it probable that legislation would
be enacted at this session of the Legis-
lature.
Judge Hancock said that he had
nothing to do with the repeal or amend
ment of any existing law, and as coun-
sci for the petitioners insisted on trial
of the coupon cases by separate juries,
he was entitled to it.

FEMALE COLLEGE BURNED-Fire CONSUME
ed the building of the Southern Female Col
lege at Birmingham, Ala, last night, and it is
thought that half a dozen lives are lost. The
100 girls had just retired when flames broke
out in the kitchen and soon enVeloped the
big frame building. Most of the girls escaped
in their night clothing, and many of them
were more or less burned
Minnie Deone, of Warrior, one of the stu
dents, was fatally burned, also Virginia Jones,
a domestic. Detective Robbins, in rendering
assistance, received it is feared, fatal injuries.
All the teachers escaped. Two negro helpers
were seriously burned.
Several of the young ladies are not account
ed for. That some of them occupying roOms
ON the third floor are burned TO death iq
generally believed. The building and furni-
ture was reduced TO ashes. Loss, 100000; in
surance 10000. There was only one man in
the place when the fire started. The fire de-
partment could be of no service, as the col
lege was removed from the water supply.
LATERAL the missing young ladies have
been been found Minnie Dean, who ran
back into the burning building to save her
jewoIry, died this morning. The two servants
burned will recover.

In THE last Congress Mr.. Breckin-
ridge introduceda resolution calling for
all the correspondence in relation to
the Gillian affair. 1t was not adopted,
out was referred to the committee on
foreign affairs, of which Mr.. Blount was
chairman, by which it was pigeon-holed,
for the reason that its passage might
'embarrass the administration" MIR.
Blount, the committee and the House
were all democratic, and the admins
tration was republican. The repub-
licans of the Senate rather like to en-
barrass democratic administration,
that is, Judging by their action in the
Hawaiian matter. But comparisons
arc odious.

OF THE congressman who have been
interviewed on the subject, ll9 have e1-
pressed themselves as in favor OF an
individual income tax, and l03 against
it. Nearly all the former are from the
South and are democrats, and nearly all
the latter are from the North and are re-
publicans. And yet the democraticPresl-
dent is opposed to such a tax, though
he favors slight tax on the incomes OF
corporations, that will at once transfer
it to the public, which is composed OF
poor people, and of the stock ofwhich
many people in moderate circum-
stances hold few shares. The con-
stituencies of the congressman should
let them know that they will sustain
them in insisting upon an income tax,
as the best aud most available means
of making up the deficit in the revenue.
