A GOOD CUSTOM.

Tho custom prevails throughout the
cities Of the North, extending as far
South as Washington, and IS univer-
sally observed in England and Canada,
Of appointing one Sunday in each year
as Hospital Sunday.
The offerings of every church of every
denomination for that day are devoted to
a general hospital fund. and the money
so collected is distributed equally among
the various institutions of that character
in the city.
1t has ben suggested that the custom
be adopted in Richmond, and we give
it our hearty approval BY collections
we understand, the loose change that is
dropped into the basket. and not the
regular ,envelope contributions OF the
members. Richmond has a number Of
hospitals. and they are doing magnifi-
cent work They should be sustained
and every church in the community VIII
be willing, we believe, TO contribute 10
their support in this manner.

Carolina have eliminated the negro vote
by constitutional provision, and Alabama
IS now threatening TO do the same thing.

THE NEGRO AS A MARRIOTT.

The condition of things in North Caro-

Election. That there can be permanent
negro rule In any State Of this Union is
too absurd a proposition to be seriously
entertained Nobody in the State fears
any such thing. The whites may every

give political adventures an opportunity
TO run IN and get possession for while
by using the negro vote, which is always
solid and available. But the negro rule
cannot fasten itself for any length Of
time upon any community in the South.

DIR. Wilson and Secession.

Editor Of The Times:

Bile contention in his address az Rlch-
mond College on Written Consutu-
tons" that while tho South was "logi-
cally" right in 1861, the North accord
ing TO the development theory, was
right also, has naturally attracted much
comment and criticism. As Dr. Jones so
well states in his admirable letter 10 the
Dispatch, VIC are called upon TO believe
that while the Southern states undouDt-
edly had the right TO secede from the
Northern Union, tho latter federation
was equally justified in treating the
seeded States as in rebellion and their
people as rebels and traitors'-in bring
ing against them the armed forces or
despotic power overrunning our territory
with fire and sword and starving US
into abandoning what was our right
under the Constitution"-a proposition, as

Mr.. Wilson concludes compiacently:

that the receiver Of a defunct bank be
restrained from selling TO the highest
bidder insurance policies on the lives of

with reverses and were obliged to put
up these policies as collateral As the
policies are not payable until the death
of the insured, the Browns claim that
