A Forecast.

The national election-laws were re-
pealed long ago, yet We find the Wythe-
willie Patriot and Herald Republican,
quoting paragraph from the Dispatch
in favor Of their repeal. and censuring
us for saying what we did In regard to
those laws. However. what we intended
to say in the paragraph quoted by the
Herald was that If the national election
laws were not repealed by the Democrats,
and the Republicans should again get
possession Of the presidency and Of both
houses Of Congress, then and in that
event the next congressional elections In
the South would be made by Republican
supervisors and deputy marshals TO turn
in favor of the Republicans, and never
thereafter would there be free election
in this section.
We believe the Republicans regret that
they did not pass more stringent election
laws than they did when they were in
power, and we hold 1t as certain that
if ever that sectional party shall again
control the legislation OF this country,
they will tie the voters Of the South hand
and foot.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
There appeared In your paper. seve-
raj days since n statement to the erect
that our sons. cadets at the virginia
Military Institute had been hazed, etc.,
and that we had visited Lexington on
that account, etc. Our sons. having seen
this publication, now write to US. and
Indignantly deny that there was any
foundation whatever for the publishcn
statement, and there was none TO our
knowledge. We did visit our sons
month or so since. but the visit was
purely one OF pleasure and not occasioned
by hazing or anything Of that nature.
az we neither knew nor had heard. OF
any.
In Justice TO the cadets, and the school
Il seems to us that correction should
be made through your paper.
Very truly yours,
JOHN MGILL.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON,
The following Is the Dlspatch's publ
cation. 10 which Messrs. McGill and
Hamilton refer:
No knowledge of Haxing.
The Virginia Military Institute cadets
are very much disturbed over ruror
which obtains In Petersburg, the sub
stance of which is that Cadets McGili
and Hamilton, Of that city. were the
victims Of a hazing episode at the insti-
tvte, and that they were 80 severely
strapped as 10 cause the blood 10 flow
from their flesh. 1t is said that Mr. John
McGnl and Mr.. Alexander hamilton,
fathers of the young men. have called
the attention Of the faculty 10 the al
legged occurrence.
None of the cadets appear TO know
anything Of such an affair. AMI expressed
great surprise that any such rumor
should be given credence. Neither OF the
cadets in question could be found last
night but II Is not believed that any
foundation for the rumor exists as both
cadets are very popular at the institute.

As to an Extra Session.

Inc Richmond correspondent Of the Pc
tersburg Index-Appeal writes as follows:
While II looks in Richmond as II an
extra session of the Legislature were
probable. the Governor. if he calls II, will
have TO take that step over the protest
or the mass OF the people. No matter
what the occasion may be for assembling
the lawmakers. the average taxpayer
Will look upon II as a useless expenditure
OF money. On the other hand. there are
In Richmond, and probably In all the
cities and in some OF the counties, men
who believe the State would be financially
benefited by an extra session. OF course
such persons take for granted that the
lawmakers Will certainly pass bills to
reduce criminal expenses and to save
money in other directions. But If the
Legislature should be unable to agree as
10 what is best TO be done, an event not
at all unlikely TO occur, the old Com
monwealth. 20 use a slang phrase. would
be In the soup"
In our opinion there will be no extra
session Of the General Assembly before
the November election, unless the Walton
election-law Is taken to the Supreme
Court of Appeals and the decision Of that
tribunal makes 1t necessary.
After the election. when IL is seen that
the constitutional amendment abolishing
jury trials in certain cases is adopted by
the people. it will be for the powers that
be TO decide whether they prefer criminal
expenses to continue at the present rate
for another year. or will call the General
Assembly into extra session TO put the
amendment into force at once.
The Danville Register has asked for an
extra session TO consider the matter OF
submitting TO the people the question OF
calling constitutional convention, but
In no event could such a vote be taken
until November 1895. So its proposition
may be considered very well in connec-
ton with the demand which Will arise
for an extra session to put stop to the
cost OF trying petit larceny cases by
jury.
This is the situation exactly as we I'M
derstand Il.

There is talk Of an extra session Of the
Virginia Legislature this fall, but We
trust no necessity will arise fer the Cow
errors calling an extra session.-Freder-
icksburg Star.
The Star may be sure that the Governor
will not call an extra session unless the
best interests of the State demand it.
1t is among the probabilities, however.
that the Walton law will be carried to
the Supreme Court OF Appeals. and among
the possibilities that the courts decision
may compel an extra session to BE- held.
just as its decision In the case OF the An
derson- Mccormick law compelled all extra
session to be held.
