VIGILANCE COMMITTEE.
When the colored voters assembled at the

A long string of resolutions was adopted
complaining of the way the colOred voters
of Staunton and Augusta, and especially
the Valley counties of the 10th district
have been deprived Of their most sacred
political right-the right to representation
in the party and government to which they
owe their allegiance; protesting against

PROF. G. T. JORDAN APPRECIATED IN
NEW NrEYTCo


PROF. c. T. JORDAN APPRECIATED IN
NEW MEXICO.
The Rio Grande Republican published
at Las Cruces, New Mexico, gives us the
gratifying information that Prof. G. T..
Jordan, formerly the accomplished Super
lntendent Of the Augusta county schools
and later member of the Faculty of the
Miller Manual Labor College in Albemarle,
was, on Friday last elected by the Board
of Regents of the Agricultural College of
New Mexico to the position of President
OF that College and Director Of the Expert
ment Station, his duties to begin on July
l, 1896. The salary of the President was
fixed at $1,000. The excellent career of
Prof. Jordan i'll Virginia as an educator,
and his standing as a man, fully Justify
in the opinion OF his old friends here the
following extract from the editorial col
umns of the BIO Grande Republican
''The election of Prof. e. I. Jordan as presi-
dent of the agricultural college is undoubted-
ly good thing for the college and the action
of the board receives the commentator of
our people. We want the responsible posi-
ton of president filled by man efficient in
every requirement of his responsibility, and
one whose past record secures the future well
fare of the institution Of learning of which he
is the head. MIR. Jordan meets all the re-
quirements, and we may look for the best well
fare to the college at his hands. The Agricul-
tural college may congratulate itself on hav-
ing in prospect such president as Prof.
Jordan"

important to Shippers by Railroad.

The Court of appeals of Virginia has
handed down an important opinion regard
ing the liability of railroad companies for
the loss of goods after they leave the posses
sion of the line on which they are shipped.
The case was that of the Richmond and
Allegheny Railroad Company and others
against the r. A. Patterson Tobacco Co.,
of Richmond. The Patterson Company
on August 1, 1888. delivered to the defen-
dant company lot of tobacco consigned to
Bayou Sara, La. The bill of lading was in
the usual form. and stipulated that il the
destinat ion was beyond the point for which
rates were named in the margin, defendant
would not be responsible in case of loss.
The tobacco was lost after it left the pos
session of the Richmond and Allegheny
Road, and the sole question submitted to
the court for it's decision was whether sec
tion 1895 of the code was in conflict with
article l, section 8. clause 3, of the consti-
tuition of the United States, it being agreed
that if said section was constitutional the
Richmond and Allegheny Company was re-
sponsible for the loss of the tobacco.
Judge Keith, in very able opinion. decid-
ed that the section of the code referred to
was constitutional. and the decree in favor
of the shipper was affirmed.
