Prem0tUreS

We are sorry to read this in the
Times, in letter from Marion:
While the testimony of witnesses
thus far shows that the adminIstra
ton of the affairs Of the hospital by
the present superintendent have
been far from what it ought to be,
1T is safe to predict even this early
that he will retain his position.
1t this is true it speaks very badly
for the board and proves that the
present Investigation is a farce and q
useless expense. Why should the
board have already decided to re-
tain DIR. Preston in tue face of the
fact, said to have been proved, that
his administration has been far from
what it ought to have been? Is it be-
cause no competent man can be found
that a gentleman, said by the Times
correspondent TO be incompetent. is
TO be retained7 Or is the board
determined, whatever the evidence
may be, however strong the proof
may be that DIR. Preston is not the
proper superintendent, to retain him
In his place? If that be the case
what is the board forl What is the
Investigation for!
We sincerely hope that the CORES.
pondent of our morning coutempora-
ry Is wrong and that if it is proved
bat the management of the hospital
Is far from what it should have been
the management is changed. On the
other hand, If Dr. Preston is retained
we sincerely hope that his retention
will be based on findings, establish.
cd by the evidence. that he is not
gnilty of neglect or any other serious
tault. Nobody wants to see him

The securing of Mr.. Bryan, the

DIsfranchisement.

1t has been strongly limited that
the Constitutional Convention
would do but little toward the
restriction Of suffrage in the
State.
The fear is entertained, that the
Convention from one cause or
another, will be intimidated or
induced to touch the question but
lightly. Such a course as this
would not meet with the approval
OF the people of the State. Ger
taInly one of the principal reason
for calling the Convention was to
get rid if possible of the large and
undesirable number of votes, and
should the Convention fail in this
then will be as there should be.
great dissatisfaction throughout
the State. The Democratic party
and large part of the Republican
party ought to see the right of
Suffrage restricted and the poll tical
atmosphere cleared aud purified of
the foul stenches which have hung
around the ballot box in Virginia
for the past thirty years. 1t Is the
earnest wish of the large majority
OF the leading people of Virginia
that the work of elimination of
suffrage shall be well and thour-
oughly done once for all.
Stuffing ballot boxes, buying
votes, intimidating negros, has
gone on long enough The people
OF all parties are heartily sick of it
but these disreputabIe demoraliz =
ing practises will continue unless
this Convention does its thourou-
ghly and well. lit is the duty
OF the State To look after and
protect the morals of the people
then the question of the purity OF
ballot is the leading question be-
fore this Convention, and its fail
ure here Will render the calling of
another imperative and certain.

will say that this is absolutely neces

100000 dollars must be paid an

there is not particle of doubt that
there are many extravagances prac-

the State government. Offices must
DO abolished aud salleries cut out.
"The judiciary system of Virginia
is antiquated and is too extensive. 1t
should be made more compact and
several minor courts abolished. The
public school should be taken out of
of politics and some means employed
to give longer terms. The whole
system needs reorganization.

FLOODS FRANCHISE ORDINANCE.
Judging from the humber of crdi-
nance affectingithe franchise which
have been offered in the Constitu-
tioDal Convention, all of which con-
tain poll tax qualification, it is
believed that the resolution proposed
by Senator III ID. Flood will ulti-
mately be adopted by the Convention.
The resolution provides for
property holding of not less than
$500, in real estate and a capita
ton tx of $1.50, all of which must
be paid at least six Months before
The election. Mr.. Floods proposition
exempts all persons who have rel
Iered military duty to the United
States, and Confederacy or the Com
nODwealth, or who contributed to
-he support of the Confederacy. and
inc descendants of such soldiers are
likewise exempt from the operations
d the law. MIR. Flood favors the
