The State Income-Tax.

II the United States Government levies
e winter an income-tax. the State of
Virginia ought not to levy one Two
income-taxes would be an exceedingly
unpleasant burthen to bear. And, then
the Virginia income-tax Is levied upon
all incomes Of over six hundred dollars,
or rather pretends or purports to be
levied on all such incomes Tho law
seems to assume that six hundred dol
lars a year l a sufficient sum to enable
a man to support his family. and so
all incomes exceeding that sum are
taxed. And the word income is con-
strued TO mean tho same as the word
salary" or the word wages" and 50
q mechanic earning three dollars q day
is taxed upon what is called his income
He thus pays taxes upon the money
wherewith he buys his bread and meat
whilst q man raising and using q thou
sand dollars worth Of farm products
pay no such tax upon articles consumed.
Think Of this tax, gentlemen OF tho
Legislature. and II It Is an unjust one,
let 1t be abolished.
The Virginia income-tax yielded last
year 81. Toe.l2. II the State can DO with
out this tax. or impose a justifable new
one TO raise that sum-, then the income

AS TO the Exhibit, Two Opinions.

In this issue Of the Dispatch we pub
lish some expressions from prominent
men as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of establishing
here at Richmond a permanent exhibit Of
tho material u OF the State.
That such an exhibit would be OF vast
benefit to Virginia all agree; but there
are two opinions as to where the exhibit
should ba placed. One favors the Capitol
or the State Library building; the other.
one OF our exposition halls.
We are fortunate In having two suit
able locations for tho exhibit; 30 let the
friends OF each labor zcalously In the
common cause, and when an exhibit IL
determined on decide then where IL
should be put.
or course all Of US wish to see the ex-
hibit at the place where 1t will be seen
by the greatest number OF visitors TO
the city-where IL will do most good-and
where its ~permanency will be most effect
ually assured.
M Dispatch has its opinion as TO which
is the best site, but IL IL no believer In
the rule or ruin" policy. IL will con-
slider that its labors In this behalf are
well rewarded II either the Exposition
grounds, the Capitol or the Library build
ing is chosen for the home OF the exhibit
Nor do We feel discouraged because the
Chicago exhibit has been scattered With
a proper scheme in operation each county
in the State viii be glad enough to send
here an exhibit OF its resources. and the
aggregate will be grand.

The Inauguration.
CThe State.)

The Dispatch OF this morning says:
THE Dispatch likes the idea OF maui
gurating Governor O'Ferrall with a mill
tary and civic parade.
we hav had a glorious n far-reach-
ing victory, and can well make the occa-
sion a jollification on that score, while
at the same time We welcome TO Rich
mond our gallant standard bearer, who
is to reside amongst us as Governor for
four years.
TT would be- a fitting and acceptable
conclusion OF these ceremonies II the new
Governor would consent to be sworn into
office and deliver his inaugural either
from the portico OF the Capitol Gs Gov
srnor Holiday did, or from a platform
to be erected on the steps Of the Capitol.
Lets make a grand time Of It,"
The State had prepared M article on
the same line, but our e~nterprfslng neigh
Dor gets In the suggestion first and we
heartily endorse Il. We made O similar
suggestion to Colonel O'Ferrall yesterday,
and his reply was that, while no preferred
A simple Inauguration still he thought
that the ceremonies should be sufficiently
impressive 10 ccmport with thu dignity
Of the occasion.
This Is we'll said. Ons OF the greatest
faults OF the American people is that
they are lacking somewhat In reverence
for their government n their public
officials. Virginia is a great State. n
1t is an occasion of no mean Importance
when one of her distinguished citizens is
~inauguratsd as her chief executive officer.
We endorse, therefore. the suggestion of
the G~ovsrnor-elect that the inaugural GER
emonies be as impressive as the dignity
of the occasion demands: and we endorse
the suggestion OF the Dispatch that I'VE
make q grand time OF it."

the fact of guilt, but they fx the punish
ment also. and tho nguro-head Judge can
Dc nothing but pass the sentence. or set
ASIDE the verdict in favor OF the convict.
Now would we not do well TO consider
II the Judge is not the proper person to
lx the punishment This would be a
radical change In our system. but IL has
operated well elsewhere, and while we
are looking about for means and methods
OF making our courts more effective. the
Dispatch would like TO have this change
considered and discussed.
We do not know of any State where
better order prevails or where justice IL
administered with less cost than In our
neighbor State, North Carolina, and there
the Judge fixes the punishment. and has
always done It. II is the rule In other
States. 1t Is the rule In England.
That we so little encourage our Judges
to make use Of their learning, indepen-
dence, and experience in the trial OF
criminal cases may account for the fact
that lawyers are given a vast latitude
here in the examination OF witnesses.
Often a witness-a perfectly honest one
tools subjected 20 unnecessary humib-
alton, and thai without the slightest In
reference on the part Of the Judge. Sure
ly, considering how many pure and able
judges Virginia has on her benches We
might devise a plan to make more use
Of their services than we now do.
r. .his somewhat new phase of the
| question we invite the attention OF all
who believe. as the Dispatch does, that
only by attaining greater efficiency In
the punishment of crime by the regu-
larry Organized courts can we hope to
put q stop to lynchings in this State.

,o,n hands with US. and ding-dons the
CITY Council TIL 1t makes the needed
appropriation. The Gas-works pay the
city a handsome net revenue. and the
city Is under obligations to furnish
consumers with the best gas mat can
be made.
Mr.. Adams courts any investigation
that the City Council may choose 10
order, but quite naturally ne objects 10
an Investigation made by a commission
of Inexpert persons. Nor does he think
the employment Of experts necessary.
In short. the trouble IL hat the WORKS
need greater purifying capacity. and with
the proper sum Of money he can sup
ply this want. We nov that the money
be given him. II Is a case or your
money or your life" where workmen
and others are forced by circumstances
to endure the pernicious odor arising
from our poorly purified gas.

The earliest coins intended for American
circulation were struck either in England
or in the Bermudas about 1G15 for use on
those Islands, then generally known as
"Somers Islands," and in Virginia. The
three-pence pieces Of this coinage are
now worth $50. and the six-pence II
twelve-pence pieces Zach $40.
They are all OF copper. and on the face
Of each appears a hog rampant; his
mouth open; his bristles UP. and his tail
twisted into a neat knot. On the re-
verse is a ship under-full sail; a ship OF
the pattern OF the Columbus caravels.
All the lettering that there is on these
coins is "Somers Islands," and In Roman
letters the denomination OF the piece in
uennies.

Ellyson and the senatOrship.

The Legislature. which will assemble
in December, among It's other duties
will be called upon to elect n senator
to ill the unexplred term OF the late
Senator Barbour. and also to elect a
senator for the long term-six years.
The names OF a good nan prominent
gentlemen have been brought forward
for this position. all of whom have rem
dered excellent service to the State,
but there Is one gentleman whose name
has not, so far as we know. been men,
toned, bus who has, in our humble
judgment. worked as hard for Demo-
cratic success as any man in the State
Mr.. j.. Taylor Ellyson. the chairman Of
the Democratic organization
Mr.. Ellyson on a former occasion
led the party to victory. and in the
recent contest. whcn the condition OF
Democratic affairs was less satisfactory
than at present, assumed charge OF the
campaign, and labored zealously for sue
cess.
We have no desire TO detract from
the efforts of any Of those who assisted
in securing the result, but when honors
In tho state more worthy of receiving
them than the gentleman we have
named.
The term for which Mr.. Barbour was
elected will expire on the 4th OF March,
1895, and should the Legislature choose
Mr.. Ellyson as senator for the term
commencing that date, 1t would make no
mistake.

Richmond. November Is, 1880.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
I noticed your editorial OF to-day, and
also the sditoria, of the Times, in regard
TO the odor of the gas. n was particu-
larry struck with the Times's suggestion
as to the best means Of ascertaining the
cause.
I am very willing that the management
of these works shall be investigated, but
In Justice to myself, / must demand that
Il shall be dom by competent gas experts.
/ have a very high regard for all Of the
gentlemen mentioned as a commission,
and know they rank second TO none In their
chosen professions, yet / ave never heard
of either one OF them having any expert
ence In the gas business.
In 1884 the Board of Public Interests
recommended the ouncii 10 employ a gas
expert TO examine into and report the
cause Of impure gas. and also the best
means Of supplying the Third District
with a sufficient amount OF gas. A COM
mittes from the council secured tho ser

all who know him.
After investigating three days he re-
turned 70 Brooklyn and wrote his report.
and the ssm and substance of 1t wac h
approval OF the recommendations made
two years previous by Mr.. Knowles. the
former superintendent OF these works.
This little information cost the city
H.O0a. II would have been far better to
have spent that amount In the improve
ments recommended by your superintend-
ent.
There are but two things requisite to
insure pure gas. and they are a SUM-
cient amount Of purifying and washing
surface. In the manufacture Of water
gas but little washing surface Is needed.
but a larger purifying area Is required for
water thar for coal-gas.
In my annual report Of 1858 I made
the following recommendation to His
Honor the Mayor: II would also call your
attention To our limited purifying capac-
ity. While we have had no serious trou-
BILE or Inconvenience thus far. I am free
TO say that II ~ . matter that should
