Election Laws.

There were two interesting paragraphs
In our issue OF yesterday on the subject
OF election iaws-ons from our Washiils-
ton correspondent and The other from
our Petersburg eorrespondent-one tosch-
ing the Anderson MoCornick law and the
other the Australian ballot-system. The
latter correspondent states that Judge
Hughes has expressed the hope that the
Anderson Mc Cornick law viii be repeal
ed. Just So The same remark might be
truthfully made, no doubt as TO what all
the Republicans desire in this connec-
ton. Fas eat alb hoste docsri 1t Is wise
to b taught by your enemies. IL the
Republicans wish 70 repeal the Anderson
Mccormick law they must have In mind
some substitute for 1t. What Is that
substituted What are the people OF Viz
glnia to have Ia It's place! How is 1t
proposed that our elections shall be con-
ducted7 Whilst the Democrats in Con-
gress are seeking TO repeal odious Fede-
raj election-iaws. and the Republicans are
seeking to perpetuate the rule of Johnny
Davenport at the ballot-box, let not the
Democrats of Virginia do aught 90 give
aid and comfort TO the malignants.
Our Washington CORRESPONDENT says that
that great organizer and Itrusty and
tried Democratic leader, the late Hon.
John S. Barbour invariably. when the
question was brought mp in his presence.
said that he was opposed to tho Austria
liam ballot-system. or Mugwump ballot
system. Mr.. Barbours Judgment In such
matters was well-nlgh infallible. II we
are not mistaken, the Australian election
law is less popular where 1t has been
tried than where 1t has not been tried
less poular with the Democratic voters
than with tina Mugwumps. MANY men
of high degree OF intelligence say that
Il Is one OF tho most cumbersome and
nonsensied systems ever put upon a
psople, and quite q number declare that
rather than 60 through with II. they will
decnne TO vote" We can conceive Of
nothing more ludlcrous as an exemplifi-
cation OF the voters independence than
the manner OF voting which obtains under
Wv ~~eoht~soh SesASN"Ss 1NOtii. Let US test
10 In a primary election.
What our Petersburg correspondent
said yesterday touching the Virginia cleo
tion-law is so interesting and meets SO
fully the points made by ciamorous Mug
wsrnps that We reproduce Il all. We
quote;
IF ons viii carefully canvass the senti-
ment Of the Democratic people and lead

The first method gives 5-5s5. or II,

method.
The first method no doubt ought u
be used as it is the method followed
by the business community, All authorl-
ties teach the first method. and only re-
fer briefly and incidentally to the last
as the exact mathematical method.

After this article had been stereotyped IN
the Query and Answer column on another
page Of this paper, we found that the omis
sion Of the two last paragraphs might
give rise 10 an erroneous impression
and for that reason it was amended and
is published here.

How to Get Good Roads.

Massachusetts is solving thu road
problem In a practical way. The State
Road Commission has decided to build in
every town or township in that State
one good road along the most used
route"
The Dispatch proposed that identical
plan OF getting good roads in Virginia
several years ago. One frst-class road
through any county would be worth ten
times its cost. and would infsllibly be the
means Of having another good road lead
ing 70 this main good road from every
part Of the county.

The following is q fair example OF
how cunningly crocodiles. in common
with all other wild animals, can conceal
themselves in moments Of danger: After
happy week spent in the Jungle with a
before making the last stage for head
quarters and home, at place called
Poonarhyn-Anglice, Garden of Flowers
and while at breakfast were amused
by watching number of crocodiles, about
eight or ten, summing themselves on the
surface OF small lake or tank. as ii is
thtse called, of about an acre in extent.
A sudden thought struck me.
II say, Murray, what fun il would be
TO try and catch some of those beggars
in a net" Bravo" said he. LETS try
presently. Appu, send the horsekeeper TO
to the village and tell him 10 bring up all
the men he can find and some long fish
ing nets. We will give good san
tosum" QprcscnD.
The villagers scented some fun, and
with the further stimulus of santosum
very soon turned up TO the number of
thirty. Ii was now Ii o'clock and
scorching hot, the air quivering over tho
bare, burning, sandy plain in which the
pond was situated. 1t was breast deep,
as we knew, including about foot or
eighteen inches of heavy mud. We
tied two nets together SO as TO make one
long enough To reach across the tank,
about thirty yards, aud this was heavily
weighted along the bottom and arranged
to be drawn with long ropes from each
shore.
Immediately behind the net came a
line Of men about a yard apart, with
long, pointed poles with which to prod
the mud along the bottom of the net,
and SO drive any malingering gentlemen
into proper position in front OF the net.
My friend, self, and servants Qor all
entered into the joke followed close up
to the second line. Into it we all now
went, spashing, shouting, stamping
and hauling, but--a big But-not a sign
did we find of a sinaSe one of the brutcs
that we had seen before us when WI
came to the edge of the water. w,

John Smith was clerk who had to

fitted at his office. lie will never forget
his first experience with the instrument.
On hearing the clatter OF the bell he took
down the receiver and heard his employ
cr's voice asking for ini formation con
cerning business. John was under the
impression that as his employer was two
miles away he ought to put his hand to
his mouth like an ancient mariner on the
stage, who is paid sixpcnce a night to
do "Ship, nhoy!" business. lie accord
ingly thundcrcd his answer into the

cssayed again and again. but with no
better result. A happy thought struck
him when he had recovered his wind
after tho tenth blast and he softly
whispered TO himself: 81 wonder II the
old idiot Is deaf" His hair rose slowly
on end as he heard the sound Of his
governors voice coming softly from the
receiver: "No, John, the old idiot is not
deaf, and you can take a fortnight's
notice" John now declares that

A firm in Calcutta, India, has lately
completed very ingenious timspiece in
the shape Of an eight. day clock, which
strikes the hours on Q large full.toned
gong and chimes the quarters ON eight
bells. In connection with the clock
there is a perpetual calendar, which gives
the correct days of all the various months,
including the twenty nine days of Feb
ruary in each year.
There is military procession worked
by the clock, representing various
branches Of the British army, consisting
of artillery, cavalry and infantry, and the
staff in review order. There is also a
sentry on duty who salutes, a drummer
who beats the drum, and a bugler who
raises his bugle to his mouth every few
minutes. All of these figures are ar
ranged at the top of the dial. A musi-
cal instrument plays while the procession
is marching in review.
Near the bottom of the clock is placed
military band. which is concealed by a
curtain, which is raised every hour when
the music is playing and the procession
moving, and falls again Immediately
after the clock has struck, aud remains
drawn until the next hour. The case,
made of cbonized mahogany, is about 6
feet high, 3 feet inches wide, and ?
feet inches deep, highly ornamented
with brass trimmings.
The circles on the dial to show min
ntes, hours, days of the month, etc, are
engraved and silvercd. The centre and
sides of the dial are richly cnamcled. At
the sides of the case are massive brass
ornamental handles and ornamental fret
work. II New York Despatch.
