In some States the Governor has the

ton Of the House OF Representatives to

The paragraph empowers the senate either
TO propose amcndm. hts or concur in the

amendments TO be proposed or concurred

is the reply of the Constitution Itself and

Jamestown and Congress-.

In recent number OF the Dispatch 1t
was announced in our Washington cor
respondcrce that the appropriation for
jamestown had been retained in the
river and harbor bill by the cOnfarrees Of
the two houses.
This brief statement comprehends more
than may be generally understood. 1t
became known that the action Of wind
and wave was gradually but surely de-
stroying the site OF the settlement at
jamestown and of the colonial church.
The Society for the Preservation or Viz
glnia Antiquities. controlled largely by
our ladies', was keenly alive TO the neces-
sity Of prompt and vigorous action to
preserve a place 50 full Ct historic and
patriotic interest and associations. DR..
Thomas Nelson Page and Mrs. J. J.. NJ.
Curry were requested to make an effort
to secure an appropriation from Congress.
DIR. Page being in Europe the pleasant but
laborious work devolved solely and ex-
clusively on Mrs. Curry. She. by per-
sona interviews and letters. brought the
matter to the attention Of the two COM
mittees in the Senate and House and has
followed up the appropriation with earn
est diligence until now there can be little
doubt of The success of the measure.
Besides the Virginia delegation. friends
from many other States were enlisted
by Mrs. Curry. and now the society may
be congratulated on having begun work
under auspices which will secure the pre-
servation OF what viii awaken pride and
satisfaction throughout the Union.

THE Indicators OF an improvement II

xleot,ng senators by the People.

Mr.. fuckers speech In our last Issue
was good argument in favor OF the
proposed new amendment to the Federal
Constitution providing for the election OF
United States senators by the people.
Hts bill was passed by the House Of
Representatives socn after this speech
was made. But what is 10 be the uti-
mate fate Of the bill we cannot forctell.
The senate IL not likely 10 yield to
popular clamor on a question involving
It's own existence. But We can hardly
calm that there has been any popular
clamor on this question. Nor will the
matter be treated In tho Senate as n
party measure. unless indeed one or the
other OF the two great parties s.all IN

OF the bill is &c be found in the fact that
