The word christian" will remain
in the Virginia Bill of Rights. That
was the decision of the committee in
that matter by vote of 7 to 4 and
Hon. John Goode in speaking to the
subject, doubtless voiced the senti-
ment of large majority Of the peo-
pie OF the State in saying, that if they
took the word out of the Bill Of
Rights "they might as we'll adjourn
and go home; that the constitution
which would be framed would be
overwhelmingly defeated at the
polls" The resolution to eliminate
the word may not have been intro>
duced in a spirit of demagogism, as
charged. but it was so regarded,and
that was sufficient in itself to cause
it's defeat, even il the religious sem
timent of the people of the Common
wealth had not been taken into con-
sideration by the committee in ar
irving at decision in the matter.
No subject, which has been brought
to the attention of the convention or
any other legislative body in this
State for the past quarter of cen
fury, has attracted so much atten-
ton.

The old county court will soon "be
numbered among the things that
were" if its fate may be judged by
the report OF the committee which
has just passed upon it. By vote
OF ten to one they have said that the
days OF its usefulness had ended and
that another forum must be sought
for the transaction of our business in
the future. They have not told us
yet what the substitute will be,while
with a ruthless hand they would
proceed to demolish this savorite
court of the people, which they
have so unceremoniously decided to
put behind them with all the sacred
memories it recalls of the glorious
past. They seem simply to have de-
creed that it must go, without giving
a good reason for their action in the
matter or consulting the wishes of
their constituents regarding it.

which met in Richmond last week,
nominated these officers: For Cover
nor, o. G. Rucker, of Bedford;
Lieutenant-G Governor, W. T. Bun
dick, of Accomac; Attorney. General,
A. 8. Lee, of Salem. The platform
adopted reiterates the doctrines Of
the Prohibition party and denources
the dishonesty in elections in Virgin
Ia. A resolution opposing division
of the school fund of the State was
adopted. The convention was COM
posed of AZ delegates, including two
colored ones. Bitter speeches were
made against the use of liquor and
appeals were made for the advocates
OF prohibition to stand together in
the coming State election.

The conventions Committee on
Retrenchment recommend;
1. A reduction of the salary of the
Governor from $1,000 to $4,000.
2. That the Office of Second Audi
tor be abolished, and its duties be
performed by clerk to be added to
the force of the Auditor of Public
Accounts.
8. That the Office of Railroad Com
missioner be abolished, because it is
practically useless, land will remain
an impeachment to the creation of a
proper railroad commission with
plenary powers"
4. That the Office of Public Printer
be abolished and the duties of the
position be discharged by the Secre-
tary OF the Commonwealth. The
designation of this Office as Public
Printer" is misuomer; it should be
superintendent of Public Print
ing
8. That the office of Register of the
Land Office be consolidated with the
Office of Secretary of the Common
wealth.
6. That the Secretary Of the Com
monwealth shall also be Keeper of
the Rolls, and that he shall be paid
a fixed salary, and all the fees paid to
him be turned into the public Treas
ury.
2. That every executive officer of
the State shall be elected by the peo-
pie for four years.
8. That every executive officer of
the Commonwealth be paid a fixed
salary, with no fees or other per-
quisites attached.
o. That every clerk in the Office Of
the Auditor of Public Accounts, the
Treasurer, and the Secretary of the
Commonwealth shall be bonded
officer,
The report will be generally ac-
cepted az a step in the right direc-
ton. The useless offices, of course,
ought to be abolished but, we be.
lieve a mistake will be made, if in
adequate salaries are paid as the
above seems to indicate to those who
will administer the affairs Of the
Commonwealth. If we would be we'll
served we cannot afford to retrench
two much along this line.
