sELF-sUPPORTING WOMEN.

The Louisville Couricr-Journal thinks IL
about time that the lingering sentiment
in the South against women working
should lose its force. 1t is a relic, our
contemporary contends, "of the old South
which, however chivalric, cannot stand
against the practical conditions Of life"
Colonel Watterson's paper is induced to
make this declaration because of a reso-
luton recently defeated by the Georgia
Legislature. providing for the appointment
of a woman as Assistant Librarian. The
proposition was holly contested by some
of the members who very. properly in
sisted that the character Of Southern
women was the brightest spot in the his
tory of our section.
The Louisville paper referred to says
that 1.-THE ethereal idea OF woman with
which the refined Southern youth grows
up is Il beautiful one, but it does not
withstand the hard conditions of life. 8"
There are hundreds of the best women in
the South earning their living by literary
and Other work. Il we except the effort
in this State to elect a woman as as
sistant physician to be in charge of the
patients of her sex at the Stanton luna
tic asylum the proposition made in
Georgia to elevate a female to an official
position has not before been attempted in

A COURT OF INQUIRY.

There are indications that an unsatls-
factory condition of affairs exists in the
First Regiment Of Virginia Infantry vol
untecrs. We are not prepared 10 suggest
what this condition arises from, but it
seems to exist.
We learn that a number OF the officers
have asked the Governor TO appoint a
court of iploiry TO Investigate their ha-
biiity so censure on account of the dis
turl5ed condition of affairs, These gentle
men could not. perhaps. without making
themselves liable 10 the charge of in
subordination, ask that this court should
go further than 10 investigate their own
liability to censure. But. as the city Of
Richmond is very deeply interested in
the discipline and prosperity of this resi-
ment, we suggest to the Governor that
he shall in ordering the court direct It
at the same time TO make a thorough
and complete inquiry into the general
condition and morale of the regiment,
and whether there is any general dis
content. and II so. what are the causes
of it. Let the disturbing causes, what
ever they are. be disclosed, and the appro-
pirate remedies can then be applied.

WHAT 1T COSTS TO DEPART f"o"
TuE CONSTITUTIONS PLAN.

The Times has repeatedly pressed upon
the attention Of its readers the simple
Main money scheme OF the Constitution
or the United States but 1t ieels 'hal II
can never call their attention TO II often
enough. It's scheme is the plan OF al
sound finance. and there can be no really
sound finance when that scheme Is de-
parted from. The evils from whlch me
peoplc of the United States suffer VIII
never be cured until the Government re-
turns to the CONSTITUTIONS plan IN all us
simplicity. We lived under 1T from 1881
TO 1860. and those were the happiest ana
most prosperous years for the American
people that any country ever knew.
There were no extravaganuy rich men,
but all men had liberty TO use their credit
and resources as they pleased. and pros
perlty was consequently diffused broad
east amongst the people. The financial
plan OF the Constitution is that the Gov
eminent shall determine from their mar
ket value how many ounces of silver are
OF the value OF one ounce Of gold. that IL
shall mint coins from both metals in that
proportion, and stamp on each how many
grains II contains; that 1t shall then leave
all men free TO make their contracts in
respect to these coins as they please. and
that the Governments connection with
the money of the country shall end then
and there.
When that plain mandate OF the Con-
stitution is adhered to everything goes
right; when II is departed from every
thing goes wrong. We propose to-day and
tomorrow to give two notable instances

walton will be theoretically within Its

$4,000 Of its taxes for his section

its levy large enough to get along with
out counting on this reservation tax at

Ivy to over 30 MILLS. and still no court

The Times wanted "some more tgur-
es" and here they are. Lest that fatu-
lent sheet should think that we have
overlooked the listing of the Burlington
road as an increase Of taxable wealth
for the new county. we will say that the
state valuation on railroads is s263O per

is taken into consideration IN the state
ment that IN reality the tan levy will be
