rolls on more and more important mat
ters which will claim the attention of
the extra session of the Legislature are
being discussed, and should each one be
taken up the forty five days will prove
all too short for the great volume of
busiiSss.
1t is now said that there Is n strong
probability that an effort will be made
to abolish the officers of county and
city school superintendents Members
OF the Legislature who have talked on
the question express the opinion that
the county and district boards could
do the work now performed by the su-
perintendents, and that the amount of
their salaries could be thereby saved
MONEY IN ELECTIONS.
Two very live questions which may
come up are the use of money in cleo
lions and the adoption of Il primary
system for the nomination of all Off
GERS. from n constable to Il United
States Senator.
1t is generally admitted that 1t would
be good move to keep money out of
elections. and it is generally thought
that an effort will be made by the Con
stitutional Convention to arrive at
some plan whereby this can be done.
CONSTITUTIONS OF OTHER
STATES.
1t is most likely that the convention
will endeavor to Gull the good portions
of the constitutions of other States
and engraft them in the constitution to
be adopted.
a SMALL CYCLONE.
This city to-day caught the tail-end
of the cyclone which played SO much
havoc in the South last night, but no
serious damage was done.
The large United States flag on the
summit OF the custom house was torn
a.i.r al
to some extent.
BOARD OF FISHERIES.
The State Board of Fisheries began
session here to-day which will prob
ably continue until Friday as there are
many routine matters TO be disposed
of. Chairman Frank Fletcher of Ac-
comac; Secretary Seth l.. Miller, of
Accomac: Capt. John \. Curtis of
Richmond; Senator George IL. Keezci
of Rockingham, and Hon. Pembroke
Petit, of Fluvanna, are present.
The forthcoming report of the Board
is matter of much interest in Vir-
gina
AN ADMIRABLE SHOWING.
While nothing official has yet been
given out on the subject. it is esti-
mated by well-nformed and thoroughly
reliable persons that the showing
made by the board will DC an admira-
bic one. considering the many diff
culties under which it has necessarily
labored in dealing with the every exed
questions of fish and oysters. The
members of the board have been in
office thirty months up to the Goth of
September last.
During this time they have paid all
the expenses of the board, paid for the
survey of planting ground in two
counties, and turned into the treasury
of the State in the ncighborhood OF
$4,000. clear of all expenses
The prospects are bright for :, Iortra
increase from this source of revenue
to the State, and the wisdom of Gov
ernor Tyler's appointments on the
board is apparent.
