The exercises of the Accomac
Teachers Association, in session at
Accomac G. II. since Thursday morn
ing, had not closed at the time OF
going to press on yesterday. The
proceedings have been of the most
interesting character and in every
way creditable to the worthy super
intendent and his corps Of excellent
teachers. 1t was a pleasure to us to
extend to them a cordial invitation
and hearty welcome to our town
and our homes, in the name of our
citizens before they arrived, 1T has
been q pleasure to us to have had
such band of noble workers in the
cause of education with us, and no
less cordial welcome will be given

pleasure to do so. The town has been
honored by their presence and, it is
to be hoped, that the meeting has
been profitable and pleasant one to
them.

A bill having been introduced into
the Legislature favoring the APP
pointment of Commissioner OF Rev
enue by the judges of the State, it is
now 'up to" the representatives in
that body to say, whether that duty
should be discharged by them, or be
left, as it has been in the past, with
the people. In other words it is for
them to decide whether they favor a
measure which takes power from all
the people and puts it in the hands
OF single official or prefer to trust
the people.
That there can be any doubt as to
the conclusion they will arrive at in
the matter we cannot believe. If
the commissioner is appointed by
the judge, the fact is too plain to be
overlooked by them, that he might
BE- kept in Office indefinitely as hie
favorite or political henchman, and
however inefficient, the people would
have no power to remove him. If
elected by the people, they must con-
clude, he remains their servant, sub
ject to removal for cause and would
not have the temptation to shirk
his duty for fear of displeasing the
people as 1.-THE new Constitution

WARON CONSTITUTION.
Latest Phase OF the Attack on Vlr-
ginIa's Organic Law.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 25.-Mr. John
s. Wise and those associated with
him in making war upon the validity
OF Virginia's Constitution purpose to
leave nothing undone in the way of
making the fight hot, IL not Bit
! ter, one. Not only are Mr.. Wise and
bis colored and other associates to
bring the matter up before the Fed
eral Court on its merits, but they
have started move to institute a
suit against each member OF the
Conventional Convention and
the Governor for depriving the
negroes Of their right OF franchise. A
large number of forms of suits to be
brought In the Federal Circuit Courts
for damages have been or are being
sent to the negroes throughout the
State.
The damages are laid at $1,000 in
each case, and the negro who lost
his vote under the new Constitution
is expected to bring suit against the
member OF the Legislature in his city
or county for the amount named.
The Governor Is also made a party
t. these proceedings.
This new move will cause big
stir among the Democratic leaders
all over the State. 1t may result in
sh arp investigation rs to whether
some persons more interested than
the negroes in defeating the new
Constitution are not behind this
whole fight. The negroes have raised
little money, and the contest that Is
on will require a large cum, which
mus be assured from some RESPONSE
BILE source.

The Campbell-Crawford matter is
to be investigated and passed upon
by the Legislature, in accordance
with a resolution recently introduced
into that body. The members could
not ignore it if they would and
doubtless do not wish to do so, but
il the inquiry is to be made there
seems to be no occasion for further
delay in the matter. The people of
the State demand an early investiga-
tion Of the case and Judge Campbell,
it is said, is eager for it. II innocent
as he alleges he is, of having com
mitted any offence he ought to have
a speedy vindication. IT he cannot
vindicate himself, and it is hardly
possible that he can, because of the
little regard he has shown for the
dignity of the bench and the sancti-
ty of the clergy, whatever the provo
cation of Rev. Mr.. Crawford may
have been, he has already dishonor-
ed the position he holds too long,
and ought to be removed at once.

Mr. Heermans (Rep), of Mont.

THE BAYLOR SURVEY.
A Bill VIII be introduced to Break 1t
And Rent Oyster Beds.

The oyster question, which has
PLAYED an important part in the dis
cussions of the General Assembly Tor
MANY wears, promises to become
live issue before the session Is many
days older. -,
A bill has been prepared and Will
soon be presented in the House pro-
posing to break what is known as
the Baylor survey, and to rent out
all the depleted oyster grounds held
by the Commonwealth to the highest
bidder. This will practically abolish
the Baylor survey.
The bill will be offered in a few
DAYS by Mr.. Z. @. Jordan, of Fred,
erick, one OF the most influential
members Of the House. He has given
much thought and careful study 10
the oyster problem and for the past
four or five months has devoted him.
self to mastery of the question ana
the defests of the present system
The result of his study will be the
bill which, it is believed, will nave
the effect of checking the rapid &C.
pletion OF the States oyster grounds
This depletion would, tiguratively,
kill the goose that lays the golden
egg, and the legislation proposed Is,
therefore, ultimately to the benefit
of the oyster dredgers themselves.
The Baylor survey marks out what
are known as the natural oyster
rocks and shoals of the State, where
on any one may dredge oysters In
season simply by paying the tax
required. He is required under the
Jaw to throw beck into the water all
the small or seed oysters in order
that the future supply may not be
depleted. 1t will be shown that
through failing to thus keep up the
supply of seed oysters and dredging
TOO deep, the oyster bottoms are in
many cases becoming barren and de-
depleted.
The measure to be offered by Mr..
Jordan will, it is said, have practi-
cally the solid support OF the mem
bers from the sections of the State
other than Tidewater and those from
that geographical division will be
divided on the question, many favor
ing the plan. From all parts OF the
oyster region there have come re-
ports of the annually growing scar.
city of seed oysters and the gradual
of the catch. Many OF
the more far seeing oystermen realize
the Importance of some such action
as that proposed. The bill will,
nevertheless, meet with strong oppo-
sition when it comes up, and there
will be many oystermen here when
the fight opens. 1t is the opinion OF
we'll informed members that the bill
will pass finally.-Richmond Dis
