prove anything, the coming season

these ores have been discovered, and

occurred. Seven sticks of powder
and nearly two boxes of caps ex-
ploded, tearing down the timbera
and causing a cave from which the
unfortunate man was with difficulty
extracted. He is badly lacerated
about the hands and face and Sc
vereIy injured by the conclusion

serious result is apprehended from
possible loss of sight and hearing.
The right eye was torn from It's

CAM Upon THE COMMITTEE.

The South Boston Times, in discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY of voting in favor OF
calling a convention to revise and amend
the Constitution Of Virginia, mas this
to say:
Tot the state Committee be called to-
ether and LET every member thereon
who loves the old mother State. VINO re-
snects her honor her name, ana her III
danondence. devote his untirng ana I'M
leasing efforts and ability toward the
call OF a constitutional conventions ho'
ALI who despise the Bonded Knee opse-
ouious TO the tyranny OF selnsh plu'oc-
racy but who would hold up the hanus
of honor and humanity which grasp the
plow and hoe or would give music u
the sound Of the hammer ana the saw
and shed cheerful light to the darkest
recess of the mind-let all sueh demand
,he holding of a constitutional conven-
ton.
II Is not clear to the Dispatch how the
state Democratic Committee could ma
warrant for complying with the sugges-
ton of the Times.
Our state convention had the subject
before il at its session in Staunton last
spring: but IL SluulOuSlS o'0iNSN VI Si"S
our voters to vote for the proposition.
If the convention had wished to commit
the party to the support OF the PROPOSE
ton. il would have done so.
If is our belief that the State Demo
cratic Convention avoided committing the
marty on the subject, because 1t was not
satisfied that the present would be
good time for calling a convention.
Our convention acted wisely. There are
many good Democrats who think that
a constitutional convention is unneces-
sarv. There are others who favor
convention; but think that it would be
dangerous TO have it now, while there
is so much political disorder. There are
still other Democrats who are eager 70
have a convention as soon as possible.
Happily. upon this question one may
vote for or against" and still be
loyal Democrat.
If the proposition should be voted down,
we feel sure that enough Of public in
terest will have been aroused to cause
the LEGISLATURE, at its next session. TO
give the subject immediate attention.
And It will be in its province either 10
provide for amending the Constitution by
the legislative process, or by submitting
the convention question anew to the
voters of the State.

OF Virginia, witt a crew OF eleven and
ten. respectively, were captured by the
Virginia police steamer Chesapeake
yesterday afternoon, on the charge OF

the vessels had been dredging in the
hook OF Smiths Point. on getting

got under way and ran up the Poto-
mac. but were overhauled about four
miles above the point The boats were
still dredging and the captains claimed
to be ignorant OF any wrong doing. The
crews, most OF whom are shipped men,

provements contemplated. How? Why.
BY relieving the Ninth-street crossing OF
the distractions nearly continuous there
now by reason OF the moving trains.
with the vladuct built there could be
but little further use for the tracks that
now cross Ninth street. Nor would the
trains moving up and down the viaduct
be a source of public danger; for. as we
have said the company promises TO guard
against this by providing screens. when
will prevent horses seeing the trains on
the connection track.
1t would be greatly TO Richmond's dis-
appolntment and disadvantage II the
Chesapeake and Ohio Company were
forced 10 give up their present plans.
II would be very injurious to us. IL
would also be very hurtful to Manches-
Ter. Let us hope, therefore, that the
Manchester Council will not strike -
this blow. The Chesapeake and ONO
Company have made an outlay of several
hundred thousand dollars for real estate
here needed TO carry out their plans ana
they are very much in earnest. Iheir
case is now in the hands of the Manches-
ter Council. Let us hope that there VIII
be a happy deliverance.

THE CRISIS IN PORTUGAL.

Very few persons will be surprised TO
learn that the Portuguese Ministry has
gone 10 pieces, for the reason that Por-
tugal, having been so long but little
more than a geographical expression, she
has pretty much dropped out of the
rDDlic mind. The crash was brought
about. # is said, by the inability Of the
Ministry 10 cope with the financial ques-
ton. which question. by the way, has had
more TO do with the decadence Of Portu-
gal than any other. 1t was straying after
gold-mines, real or fictitious. that brought
some of her earlier navgators TO grief,
and caused her TO sink so rapidly in the
scale OF discovering powers, and her
latter day cupidity has been a curse to
the Colonial possessions that still re-
main 10 her. In Africa she has for
years steadily pursued the dos-in-the-
hanger policy. She will neither develop
her Colonial holdings in the Dark Cont
nent herself. nor permit any other
Power-if, indeed, she can be called
Power-to 90 so. She has contented her
self largely with levying exorbitant tribute
upon all products passing through her
territory, and with being a silent partner
of the Arabs in the slave trade.
The ministerial crash is not calculated
to precipitate a crisis, or produce even
a ripple of excitement in European poll
ties. But it is not impossible that the
cause of IL may finally have an important
bearing upon conditions in certain por-
tions of the Dark Continent. and in that
light the incident is invested with con-
siderable interest. Great Britain already
has practically a mortgage upon Portu-
gal, and the little jumping off-place king.
dom OF Europe is still master Of several
highways TO the interior of Africa, the
control of which John Bull is very
anxious to acquire. Indeed. this control,
by purchase or otherwise. is almost es-
eential to the carrying out of Great Bril-
tain's Greater Africa policy. Resort to
the grab game in order TO get possession
OF these avenues would not be polite
Tor many reasons, but Portugal being
desperately in need of money, 1t would
not be surprising If her present straits
proved England's opportunity.

Let us hope that. upon second-thought
the City Council of Manchester will see
its way clear to consenting to the lower
ing of the Free bridge
Richmond and Manchester are equal
owners In the Free-bridge property and
franchises, and Richmond has consented
70 the change Of grade upon the bridge;
but Manchester has not. Thus, a $780,
Coo-expenditure here has been brought
70 halt-and this. too, when expendi-
fures OF this character would be more
than ordinarily beneficial 20 the work
fnemen of Richmond and Manchester.
The proposed work cannot be done I'M
less there is a change in the bridges
Grade. But this change cannot be made
unless Manchester gives its consent. Win
she refuse IT? We hope not In our
/ opinion, IT would not be the part of wis
h dom for her 10 do so.
II is right and proper enough--it is
/ commcndable, In fact----for the council
men to be watchful Of Manchester's in
ferests: but, having the Chesapeake and
Ohio Companys promise 20 erect blinds
Or rcreens upon the viaduct, so as to
prevent horses being scared by passing
Grains, II would now seem TO be the duty
Of the Council to come 10 terms with the
company.

SENATOR WITHERs TALKS.
He Tells Something About the Con-
sfitutionaI Convention.

Senator Eugene Withers left yesterday
for his home in Danville, but before going
consented to briefly discuss the con-
stitutional convention question.
Said he: zone reason for holding the
convention, which ought to be sufficient,
it seems TO me. is that a constitutional
convention would be in the interest Of
economy and good government. The
people Of the city Of Richmond are at
present greatly concerned about econo-
MIXING their city government. The people
Of Virginia at large ought to be as
greatly Interested i'm ecOnomizing the
administration Of their State affairs. At
least a quarter of a million dollars per
year could be saved i'm the State govern
ment. and nearly rs much more in the
administration of county affairs. / give
this as the very lowest estimate of what
could be saved under n proper Constitu-
ton.
1.-THE cost Of the convention ought not
TO exceed. under any circumstances the
cost of a session Of the General Assembly.
A session of the General Assembly
costs between $4,000 and $4,000. as a rule.
A constitutional convention would GER
tainly not occupy more than ninety days,
and ought not to be composed Of more
than one hundred or one hundred and
fifty members"
The Danville Senator does not think
there Is much probability of the conven-
ton being ordered.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch;
There appeared in the issue Of your
naner of January 18th a statement in re-
ference to a settlement between the
committee appointed by the Town Coun-
ell and Mr.. T. d. Berry which we, as
members Of said committee. desire TO
have corrected. BY settlement OF the

Mr.. Berry was found to be in arrears
70 the amount of $3.50 40. in settlement
of which he placed in the hands Of the
committee collateral TO the amount or
81. $40. 40. He also assigned his check ac-
count at the First National Bank for
the same amount. Mr.. Berry claimed
that he did not owe this amount, and
reserved the right to correct any and
all mistakes as soon as he had time to
go over the settlement. When the new
Council was elected, in July, q special
committee was appointed 10 act with
the old committee, and make final set
Element with Mr.. Berry. When this was
done. he was found in arrears an addi-
t,oual amount of s250.65, which amount
he paid. the committee returning to Mr..
Berry his check account at the First
National Bank for $1,000. Mr.. Berry
having paid the town a total of Sl92l.05.
