JUDGE AND GOVERNOR.

The TRADE of Judge Blackstone
against Governor Swanson for send
ing troops to Onsncock to preserve
the peace (snd which they only did
do) is probably without parallel 10
our State annals. Such things
occur when the administration is not
10 good favor with the people and
Judiciary, but with the most sdmira
BILE feeling today prevailing in Vir-
ginia, and with bar, press and people
practically complimentary to Ssan-
sons virile administration of affairs
and his actions in this matter in
particular. to say nothing of the ex
ceeding high compliment paid him
for his act by Governor Guild, of
Massachusetts,, who as guest was
not met on his arrival that Monday
as anticipated by eur Executive, VT
say the Blackstone emission is unpar-
allelled. The most charitable con-
struction weare able to put on Black
stones act is that possibly he was in
his cups. OF the scores of papers
we have seen comment on the affair,
there has not been one that does not
condemn the Judge and laud the
Governor, and when this weeks issue
of the country press is out, we do
not believe there will be found one
so blinded by partisan or party
prejudice as to defect from this line,
The Richmond and Norfolk dailies
have been very pronounced in their
denunciation of Blackstone, the
mildest and shortest being this from
the Times-Dispatch-
JUDGE BLACKsToNE's RUDENEss.
We are at loss to know why Judge
j. w. G. Blackstone should have spoker
in such rude terms of Governor Swan
son because the latter saw fit to senC
troops to Onancock to protect the
whites from negro rioters. The Gov
ernor of the State is sworn to see thai
the laws are upheld and to prevent
riot. In obedience to that oath Gov,
ernor Swanson could not in duty have
pursued different course in the Oman
cock crisis, and he is to be commended
and not rebuked for his prompt action
Judge Blackstone's characterization OF
the Governor under any circumstance
would have been in bad form, from 9
man In his position; in the present
instance 1t was a gratuitous affront,
which all good condemn.

OYSTER SEASON.
THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.
Newport News Times-Herald0

kNeNpOrI news I1meS-H erald.)
Although the oyster season does not
regularly open until the middle of this
month, the market opened on the frst
day of September and the owners of
private beds have been shipping ever
since that date. The state oyster
grounds will be opened to the public on
September Is, and then the natural
rock tongers will begin activities.
The planters, who have private beds
available at any time of the year, say
that the oysters this season promise to
be better than in other years in the
recent past, and that the beds owned
by the state will be found to be in bet
ter condition on the 18th, there can be
no doubt. The State. Board of Fish
cries, under its present management,
has done everything possible for the
protection of the rocks. and "oyster
pirates" have been few and far be-
tween, while their operations during
the closed season have been very limited.
That Hampton is the logical oyster
center of Virginia, there can be little
doubt, and that it is the crab center
has been acknowledged. In view of
these facts it is to be sincerely hoped
that the Board of Fisheries will estab-
lish regular office here, as headquar-
tiers of the Board, and thus give Hamp-
ton the publicity that it would bring.
The Board will meet here on Septem-
Der Is and it is likely that this matter
will be taken up then.
Hampton's claim to being the oyster
center of Virginia is we'll founded, as
has been evidenced on frequent occa-
sions. The most important oyster
houses in the state are in this territory,
and quite recently the Newcomb oyster
business was transferred from Glou-
cester county to Hampton, because of
the superior advantages of Hampton
from the shippers viewpoint. Still more
recently the national newspaper of the
oyster trade, THE Oysterman, estab-
lished headquarters here, and in the
future will be published in Hampton.
The oyster industry of Virginia is
the most important business under the
control of the State Board of Fisheries,
and that it should have its headquarters
IN the oyster center of the State stands
to reason. In view of these facts, it is
to be hoped that the Board will find
way to open regular Office here.

public the entire correspondence refer

cock during the recent race distur-
Dances there.
From the bench on Friday JUDGE
Blackstone, at the trial of the negro
rioter, Uzzle, arraigned the Governor
and the military sent to Onancock in
the above sharp and biting language.
The Governor comes back in language
that is quite as severe, and refers to
the utterances of Judge Blackstone as
"vaporings, declaring that they can
have no weight one way or another
where their author is known.
The Governor goes further; he gives
out all the correspondence concerning
the recent trouble at Onancock, which
shows that the sheriff of the county
asked for the troops and he and the
Mayor of the town earnestly pleaded
that the troops be allowed to remain in
order to preserve the peace and good
order of the community.
