SUNDAY.DECEMBER 6, 1881. Mr. Tilden's Letter. New Yorlc paters and congressmen oppose nearly every bill that comes up in Congress for the improvement of the rivers of this country. Whether it be tbe jetties at the mouth of the Missis¬ sippi, or tbe smaller streams near the head of that great inland sea.whether James river or the Ohio,.New York pronounces the scheme for their improvement "s job." And this, though the Government has expended millions' upon millions of dollar in the improvement of the approaches to New York harbor and the harbor itself. Mr. Tilden is an opponent of river- an ii-harbor bills, such as are generally passed by Congress, but he is none the less an ardent advocate of the expendi¬ ture of <«overnment money to render New York city safe in the presence of the armed vessels of a nstiooal enemy. And in order to secure a round sum of money for use io New York, he con¬ sents to allow other cities to come in for a share nf Unit I Sam's bounty. Is New York liable to be bombarded by a public enemy That city is ac¬ cessible ; but what of that? Nations do not go to war because a stronger nation has no forts. There must be some other impelling reason. As well say that Tom Tnt KB would be foolish enough to attack the Kentucky giant because his hands were in his pocket. There is no nation in the world that is not weak in comparison with tbe I nited States, anti there is no statesman worthy of the mime in any nation who does not know that his country would in tbe end have to pay thc costs of a war with such a power as the I'nited States. In a word this country is so powerful that there is not a nation on the globe that would dare to attack it. We endorse Mr. Tilden's declara¬ tion that " the best guarantee against aggressions, the best assurance that our diplomacy will be successful and pacific. snd that our rights and honor will be respected by other nations, is in their knowledge that we arc in a situa¬ tion to vindicate our reputation and interests." That's it exactly. They knov our strength, snd will never challenge its exercise against them. In a hundred years.roost of them years of weakness on our part no nation worthy of being mentioned in this con¬ nection except England has declared war against us. England ia totally in¬ capable of the folly of doing so now. Where is there any other nation that would do this foolish thing I Nowhere. .Mr. Tilden's fears are groundless. We move to expend the money in im¬ proving rivers and harbors.not in ob¬ structing them. The Monroe document will need no armed vessels to enforce it. Tht- know- ledge that we hsve sixty millions of people and that this is the richest conn- try in tbe world will, as Mr. Tilden's language justifies us in saying he knows, guarantee I'Nt le Sam against having his hat knocked off by any ruler under the aun. Mr. Tilden speaks for New York again when he attempts to ridicule the proposition to abolish all internal taxes by styling it a proposition to take the tax off whiskey. The State Conven¬ tions of the Democratic party in Vir¬ ginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kew Jersey, and no doubt other States declared a few years ago in favor of the measure, and we would like to see it successful, though we cannot say that the prospects of its success are very blight._ The Succession. Our good friend of the Lynchburg _Lfran',, after saying that wc ara gene¬ rally '-very accurate and constitu¬ tional" in Laying down fundamental propo-Mtions, adds that he is compelled to hold that we " slipped up1' when we made the following declaration : «. Whatever Mr. Tyler was in 1841 when (ieneral Harrison died, Mr. Ar¬ thur would hare become if it had been ascertained by law in 1*81 that Mr. Garfield was. by reason of ' inability,' not at that tim* entitled to be President of tho United States; for the constitu¬ tional provision in regard to death is esactly tho same aa it is in regard to inability." It is impossible that we cou'd hare been in error in thia case. The propo¬ sition stated by us was a mere question of fact.not one as to which there could be two opinions. The statement we aaade ie either true or untrue. Whether it la true or untrue caa be decided only ky looking at the words of the Ftdcral CanelilalMrf;, and learn mg io that way whether tb* Varo-President occupies the aaaae ao*iti.,o wb u tte Preaident is angering from " inability " as when the Fiireaaent le dead, lt will be observed t-st nar propoftition is qunliM-d by tb* jr-rat*. .' i( it had boan ascertained by lame |B>1 that Mr. Gabkikld was ly reason af inability not nt that time eatfetlew ta be Preaident of the United naas**.*' Bow, let us suppose that thii IBs. really koon tn* case in 1881.that Us. (iABF/fclJ/s m lability .» had bean »'afca*1a-BB<J by law." What would have been Mr. Arthur's authority in the premise*? lot us see now what the Constitution provides: "In case of the remorsl of the Pre¬ sident from office, or of bis death, re¬ signation, or inability to discharge the duties and powers of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice-Presi¬ dent." These words leave nothing to dispute about. Under the law and custom of forty years, in case of the death of the President, the Vice-President becomes Preaident. In case of thc removal of the President, the vice-President be¬ comes President. In csse of the resig¬ nation of the President, the vice-Presi¬ dent becomes President. In case of the insbility of tbe President, the Yice- Presitlcnt becomes President. We need not atop to *r(rue the question whether it ought to be so or not. What we said the other day.and whst we have proved.is that whatever Mr. Tyi.kk wss in 1841, soling President or real President, that is just what Mr. An¬ im ii would have been in 1881 if Mr. Garfield's "inability" had been as- ct-rtained by law. Industrial Education, ls is pretty definitely settled that North Carolina is to have an industrial school, and thc people of Raleigh, and the people of Charlotte are engaged in a generous rivalry to secure iLs location at their respective cities. Both cities hate otiered handsome inducements to the authorities who have charge of its establishment. This not only speaks well for the enterprise and public spirit of the two cities, but is pregnant with suggestions to Kichmond. Certainly this city is not less interested in having a well-equipped industrial school than is Raleigh or Char¬ lotte. Certainly, if there is a city in the South whose location and other ad¬ vantages fit it for a great manufacturing centre, that city is Richmond. And if we are evtr to become a mnnuiac- turingcentre wemust htive an abundance of skilled labor. Thc way to provide skilled labor, and at the same time encourage capital¬ ists to embark in manufacturing enterprises, is to found an industrial school, or school of art and design, upon a comprehensive scale. The pro¬ posed mechanics' institute is a com¬ mendable step in that direction. With proper aid it would soon bc no more a matter simply of proposition than is the new Mozart Hall. A building and t reasonable endowment once secured, the night school now being conducted bj the active friends of thc proposed institute, and thc school of the Richmond Art Association, would bc nuclei around which could soon be grouped a system of schools which would meet every demand _f a great and progressive industrial :ity. Let our citizens take hold of thc mechanics' institute in the same spirit in which they have taken hold of the Mozart building and the Young Men's Christian Association building. They Maid not contribute to an object better calculated to redound to the benefit of the whole community. England Has no Choice 'Hie thrc'its of the London papers against Turkey for listening to the ad¬ vice of Russia are bluster at best. It rloes very well for thc Standard to de¬ clare at this stage of the Balkan game that "if Turkey is blind enough to forge weapens for her own destruction England can only stand aloof," but, till the same, when it comes to the pinch, England cannot afford to stand aloof. The union of Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia would bc a good thing for England, and it is natural that the English press should desire to see it consummated. The united provinces would form a buffer between Russia and Turkey, as Afghanistan forms a buffer between Russia and English In¬ dia. Friction would be avoided, and there would be less excuse for Rus¬ sia to pick a quarrel with Tur¬ key. Hence English efforts to bully the Porte. Yet Turkey well knows that if the union is not consum¬ mated and Russia makes another move upon Constantinople England will be compelled to come to the assistance of the Sultan. In short, in the quarrel be¬ tween England and Russia the Sick Man is master of the situation ; for, what¬ ever may be the outcome ot the Kalkan complication, England will have to sink to the position of a fourth-rate Power before she can allow the unspeakable Turk to be driven out of Europe. Let the papers say what they may, the Ministry that would advocate standing aloof when Constantinople is the stake would not live twenty-four hours. Physical Culture. The Philadelphia Eveniuy Bulletin Bays that with the establishment of a department of physical culture the I niversity of Pennsylvania completes a thoroughly rational system of educa¬ tion. The Bulletin does not ge too far in the estimate it puts upon physical culture as a part of the regular college course. Physical cu'.ture is almost bb essential as mentsl culture. But it should bc under restric¬ tions, as is the ca_e in the University of Pennsylvania. The trouble about physical culture or physical exercise at most of our col¬ leges ia that it is regulated by the stu¬ dents themselves. It is not a part of the course. There is no on* to say how much or whst character of physi¬ cal exercise a student should take, tod, as a consequmce, the students who indulge in it at all frequently |0 to extremes. What in a gym¬ nasium would be no strain for for one man would injure another fer life. At the University of Pennsyl¬ vania they have a professor of physical culture, who controls the exercises of the students upon a rational syatem. We snail watch the results of his sys¬ tem with interest, believing, as we do, that that institution has taken a step which all our colleges and universities will take. The Soudan. The newe from the Soudan indicates that it is only a question of a short time when England will have to dis¬ patch another expedition to that coun¬ try. Not only English interests in Egypt, but the necessity of reestablish- ins English pi-eatife In thst quarter of tbe globe points te such aa expedition. The Republican senators who met at the Capitol yesterday acted wisely but not wall. They made very sure that (ieneral Logan would not accept the presidency pro tempore before they gara him the opportunity to decline it.. Washington Post. We guessed as much. The Virginia Law Journal for De¬ cember is on eur table. Jamf.h C. La mr, editor, Richmond. BRIEF COMMENT. ..Pktir Bl"I'J.kr hes declined the Boston sub-lreasurership." That set¬ tles it that Pete is no relative of Bi.n- JY'-i. _ "Henry Jamks, in his new story, asks, . What's the use of brains if you haven't got a backbone ?' " Not much, we imagine. _ The Kopublictn senatorial cannu nominated John Sherman for Presi¬ dent pro tem. The spirit of Eli /a Pl mk.sion is happy. *' The Boston papers have a good deal to say about a new metaphysical club." It is well that Massachusetts is increas- ng her accommodations for thc insane. Thc fact that an office hts been dis¬ covered that John A. Looan does not want makes superstitious people feel a little shaky, and calls to their minds prophecies about the end of the world. The National Republican remarks ; " Even the RoAcn-contract cruisers (;et a respectful mention in the report af Secretary Whitney." Of course. Mr. WHITNEY, is too polite a man to Bay anything but good of tbe dead. Tbe Burlington Free Press says: " Some person, while airing a super¬ ficial knowledge of the classics, an¬ nounces that thc word editor comes from thc Latin word eda, to eat." That is thc way thc Sun's cat " edits " man¬ uscript. The Phrenological Journal says: .. Documentary evidence of tlie strong¬ est kind jroes to show that the old story of the burning of the Maid of Orleans is a fable." That is pretty hard upon youthful aspirants for oratorical honors in debating societies. The Springfield Bepubtiemn says "If thc boy of to-day is built on the Basia plan and the same calibre of the boy of fifty years ago, it ia his training lhat is out of joint." The trouble is that the average boy of to-day does not get any old-fashioned training. .'oiinI.oc.an in biaSpeech declining the nomination for President pt U i, of the Stnati said he ''thanked the people of the whole country for the de¬ idre they seem to feel that I should be given this very honorable position.' And yet there are people who say that John is not a humorist. * 1 I."el.-- Charles Darwin. New York I). Ai*- l'LKTON ft CO.

ICxn-reepondcnce of the Blohraond Dispatch. 1 Sum York, December 5. l-*5. The Racquet Club has been all torn up for a week past over a black-balling incident, and it has only been compoaed by metaphorically going down on its knees to Bill Travers, New York's Boc¬ caccio. Every one who wishes to be considered a gilded youth, or to have the highest taste in athletic matters, be¬ lieves it necessary to be a member of tbe Racquet Club. Fistic exhibitions sie given in its rooms that are as fierce¬ ly contested as any ring-fight. Bow¬ ery bruisers and boxers are brought in. lilied with wine, and then set to to make a holiday for the Racquetteers, Mr. Travers was one of thc founders; his purse was always open for its needs, and he sometimes invited choice spirita to his Jersey villa whenever he found a particularly clever pair of boxers to pit. He was consequently looked up to ss the chief supporting spirit of the club. Imagine his chagrine, then, when he presented for thc suffrages of thc club the name of a well- known journalist who had just returned from a triumphant trip abroad, and was unable to prevent his being black¬ balled. In a splutter of disgust he threw up his membership and went sulking to his tent, The news of Uncle Bill's wrath, with the financial strin¬ gency that that matter implied, caused consternation in tho club, and a com¬ mittee was sent to mollify him. ne would agree to nothing short of thc election of his candidate. The time, for the annual Delmonico spread which ho gives thc club was close at hand, money- was not very plentiful, and the boys in¬ continently yielded and swallowed the journalistic pill. This same journalist was abroad all last summer, and so impressed some members of the English aristocracy with his importance that it is said he was able to make acquaintances among the 1'iii'ccof Walcs's set. and even to know tbs Prince himself. Avery high esti¬ mate was placed upon his position in New York society, in other swell English circles, and American people then in London who knew his antece¬ dents and standing here came mar be¬ ing tabooed for remarkiiiL' that he was quite unknown to fashion and culture in tho Empire State. UT__-.LO.TA. Nat. Goodwin has been coining money hand over list at thc Standard Theatre for the three weeks in thc silliest va- rii ty hodge-podge ever put on the stage. Goodwin ia tbe company and the play. of course, as without him cither would be intolerable. The people have flocked to see bim ami hundreds were turned away rightly. To-night ends his en¬ gagement because he could not buy off Lotta, who is billed there for tba coming week. Extravagant inducements were were offered to thc little lady to give up her wuk. but she declined them all. Time hasdealtkindly with Lotta, butane is not in robust health, she fears the loss of public favor, and bet ambition ba Badly chilled, lt wai ber opinion tbat Mr. Abbey ought to have given her tile preference over Mary Anderson in the matter ol appearances in England, and Dann- r.iiinor asserts in theatrical cir¬ cles that thc Gmbtreoa ami Abbey have fallen out over it. Mrs. Crabtree em¬ phasizes her declarations about Abbey's Bbort-sigbtednees by pointing to Mi** Anderson's ill lUOCSM here and its result¬ ing pecuniary embarrassment. Meantime a host of imitators of various degree-, of capability arc vexing Lotta's soul, and, what is worse, diverting the public money. Hence it il that she set so high a value on her New York engagement and resisted Nat. Goodwin's temptation. Wallack's long lane of failures bas turned at last into the high road of suc¬ cess with *.. Hoodman Blind," as I pre¬ dicted would be the case last week. It is a story whose principal scenes are laid in the lowest slums of London, and it requires an immense cast of thirty- two speaking characters. When one remembers that Wallack's is patronized exclusively by New York's most fash¬ ionable and exclusive people it seems strange that such a play, even although it represents the triumph of virtue over vice and inculcates high morality, should be so great a success, lt is of thc fash¬ ion that the Bowery delights in. NINKTI'LNTH-CKNTrilY CLUB. The Nineteenth-Century Club, com¬ posed of deep souls yearning for thc higher and better things of this life, and with argumentative and literary lean¬ ings, will discuss Wagner and his school of music at their next meeting. The Rev. Piofessor llawcis, thc cele¬ brated English writer on music, will make the statement of the case for thc Wsgnerites, and Colonel Mapleson will speak against it and in favor of Italian opera. Wagner's music is to Italian music what the blare of the brass band is to the tinkle of the guitar. Wagner is thc fashion now, and the Italians arl¬ in very bad ase. This is largely due to Colonel Mapleson's lack of enter¬ prise, or perhaps of money. He opeuel the season with some indifferent singers and a threadbare rapertory, en¬ tirely unworthy of the liberal support he has hitherto received. He promised profusely to produce new works, but he has gone fatuously on with the things that used to enrapture our grand¬ fathers until now he plays to half-empty houses and is driving the Academy-of- Mu.ic directors to the bouncing point. Meantime the progressive Germans at the Metropolitan Opera-House are pro¬ ducing opera after opera with a gorgeous¬ ness of scene and magnilicence of de¬ tail such as New York never knew before. Wagner's music, to my ear, is about as interesting as recita¬ tive, but his works require bar¬ baric pomp, splendid processional ef¬ fects, vast stage distances, and masses of color. They appeal to the eye of the average man, and only to the pro¬ foundly harmonious heart is the bang- cra.sh of the master of the North the true music of the future. Therefore, the meeting of these two champions of the old and new in music is looked for¬ ward to with great interest. Mr. Ha- weis is expected to tell the Wagnerite. why they like that style, and Mr. Ma¬ pleson.than whom no one is more competent to discuss it.will plead for a renewal lease of favor for the Italians. A IIOOMKRAN4I. The political top cs of the week have been the doings of the Gibba investi¬ gating committee and Mayor Grace's libel suit sgainst the World. Gibbs came with power from the Legislature to smoke out the Democrats who hold office in New York. Smarting with defeat in tbe recent election, he hts left no eton, unturned to find corrup¬ tion. He has found it, but unexpect¬ edly to bim it proved to be Republican, and now he poses ss a great reformer. OHACK's Sl'IT. The telegraph has probably told you about Mayor Grace's suit for libel .gainst the World. He wants 150,000 damagee fer editorial criticism on his alleged connection with the Grant A Ward swindle. He. too. is smarting under the defeat at the poll* of hi* fac¬ tion, known as the County Democracy for which the World is thanked by ».¦ but tbe vanquished. Mayor Grace is the head of ths firm of W. R. Grace * Co., who here for years almost monopolized the nitrate and guano trade of Peru and Chili, and ia vary wealthy. He is short, stout, wears eye-glasses, and is highly thought of by everybody except politicians, who declare that he is without an equal ss a joggler. An Irishman by birth, tbe question of bis citizenship was a long time in dispute, but it was settled recently, when it was announced that he had taken out his final naturaliza- lion papers just previous to his election aa mayor. A TILLAGE IN DANGER. Ts» M eur I tareel PsIlairH trim a ivmeicrt. A Nyack (N. Y.) telegrsm ssys : For several years past there has been a growing feeling among the people living in tbe northwestern part of this village against the gradual but certain encroach¬ ment of Oak-Hill cemetery upon the village limits. It has been feared that the dead bodies, if their burial-place was extended any further in an easterly di¬ rection, would contaminate the water courses running toward the village and perhaps pollute the veins of water that are likely to be the sources which sup¬ ply numerous wells and springs in the vicinity. Thc sentiment of the people here has not, however, found public vent in a very emphatic manner until recently, partly because of an affection for the bury ing-ground on the part of those who have relatives and friends in¬ terred there; but late developments have ¦ag the people here thinking and talking more strongly, and to-day the matter ia au important topic of conversation. A few days ago the attention of the State Board of Health at Albany was called to thc present and prospective condition of things, and a prompt and full investi¬ gation has been made. The report of Alfred C. Carroll, If, D., secretary and executive olliccr, accompanied by those of Horace Andrews, civil MBJt- necr, and William Haiku, Jr., win made an analysis of tho water in the vicinity of thc cemetery, has just been made pubiic. creating a great interest among the people here. The facts and suggestions contained in the reports are -" pertinent that no doubt the commu¬ nity will bc greatly bcnclited by the action that will result from them. Dr. Carroll in his report says: -'Thc dangers arising from thc decomposition of animal matter in burying-grounds vary with the character of the soil, but under any circumstances the difference is rather one of degree than of kind. In porous soils such decomposition takes place most rapidly, complete de¬ cay ol the body sometimes occurring in a very few years: but these soils permit thc greatest diffu¬ sion of gaseous and dissolved products. In tho case under con- -iikratiin, with gravelly superliccs un¬ derlaid l.y tiliuost impel vi -his strata, sm h witic diffusion of the rapidly-pro¬ duced liquefied results of putrefaction would bc particularly favored. It bil long been a matter of common expe¬ rience that low fevers and various for.us of -filth diseases ' are apt to prevail in the neighborhood of old burying- grounds where population gi around them." The people of [tyaak feel a great in¬ terest in this matter, ami the Ineustigt- tioii and report of the State Board ol' Ilcal'h will no doubt prove ben. in rel arding tbe growth of the cemetery in tbe direction of the village.

Premier Brisson, of France, is de¬ scribed as a " grandson of Coligny, amended by Voltaire." He can bend, but not sacrifice. He il reserved, cold, and simple in manner, and it is said cannot win men tn him. In domestic- life he is a model, and the acme of his happiness is to be at home. He is a good writer and a fair orator. " There is nothing original but ori¬ ginal ab." An Englishman named Edmundson is now seeking to show that John Milton was a plagiarist.

Not a such has been altered or added to it, and it is in almost as good condi¬ tion as when new.

Sherill' (iilliam, of Dinwiddie county, arrived in this city last night, having in his custody a ( olored woman named Hannah Blackwell, who is charged with robbing two or three of our citi¬ zens while in their service some months ago. I nder competition recently started in this city by Kichmond millers, the price of meal has considerably declined, and consumers are rejoicing. A denial by thc Weldon paper of the statement' recently made by the two young Mann brothers, nf Amelia coun¬ ty, that they were robbed of several hundred dollars in that town, will probably lead to a publication setting forth all the fads in the case. The young men adhere to thc statement that they were robbed in Weldon. Thc cold wave descended upon us very suddenly this afternoon, and the temperature fell many degrees in a very short space of time. Mr. John J. Thompson has bean ap¬ pointed agent of Ihe Bright Hope Coal Company in this city. 'ihe exports of iiiatuifacturci tobacco thi,-, week have run up to neatly 100,- 000 pounds. ROBIN Alair.

The wound was so slight that no attention was paid to it, but tho unfortunate man grew gradual¬ ly worse until some tune late in the night, when he died. Deceased was from Pigg'a Mill, in I'ittsylvania county, ami was a worthy citizen. He had no family except an old mother (eighty years of age), who was entirely dependent on him for sup¬ port. ¦.'luther particulars show that de¬ ceased was leading his horse along Lynn street, when a horse belonging to Mr. W. L, Norman, took fright and came tearing down the street with nothing but a pair of shafts attached to him. Mr. Dickson tried to get out of the way, but the horse ran agu n*U him snd knocked him down. It was found lhat he had received internal injuries. The Chamber of Commerce decided to rent rooms and lit them up in an at¬ tractive manner. It was also ordered that the Richmond and Danville rail¬ road be asked'to allow passengers to ride on freight trains. The Chamber has a good membership snd bids fair to become a body of much influence. The mortuary report for November chows fifteen deaths.live white and ten colored. The tobacco sales in this market for the week was 73.H75 pounds. Reports from Franklin county arc to the ell'ect that nearly all the dogs are running mad. There have been several mail dogs here.

SUNDAY.DECEMBER 6, 1881.

Mr. Tilden's Letter.New Yorlc paters and congressmen

oppose nearly every bill that comes upin Congress for the improvement of therivers of this country. Whether it betbe jetties at the mouth of the Missis¬sippi, or tbe smaller streams near thehead of that great inland sea.whetherJames river or the Ohio,.New York

pronounces the scheme for their

improvement "s job." And this,though the Government has expendedmillions' upon millions of dollar in the

improvement of the approaches to NewYork harbor and the harbor itself.Mr. Tilden is an opponent of river-an ii-harbor bills, such as are generallypassed by Congress, but he is none theless an ardent advocate of the expendi¬ture of <«overnment money to renderNew York city safe in the presence ofthe armed vessels of a nstiooal enemy.And in order to secure a round sum ofmoney for use io New York, he con¬

sents to allow other cities to come infor a share nf Unit I Sam's bounty.

Is New York liable to be bombardedby a public enemy That city is ac¬

cessible ; but what of that? Nationsdo not go to war because a strongernation has no forts. There must besome other impelling reason. As wellsay that Tom Tnt KB would be foolishenough to attack the Kentucky giantbecause his hands were in his pocket.There is no nation in the world that isnot weak in comparison with tbe I nitedStates, anti there is no statesman worthyof the mime in any nation who doesnot know that his country would intbe end have to pay thc costs of a war

with such a power as the I'nited States.In a word this country is so powerful thatthere is not a nation on the globe thatwould dare to attack it.We endorse Mr. Tilden's declara¬

tion that " the best guarantee againstaggressions, the best assurance that ourdiplomacy will be successful and pacific.snd that our rights and honor will berespected by other nations, is in theirknowledge that we arc in a situa¬tion to vindicate our reputationand interests." That's it exactly.They knov our strength, snd will never

challenge its exercise against them. Ina hundred years.roost of them yearsof weakness on our part no nationworthy of being mentioned in this con¬

nection except England has declaredwar against us. England ia totally in¬capable of the folly of doing so now.

Where is there any other nation thatwould do this foolish thing I Nowhere..Mr. Tilden's fears are groundless.We move to expend the money in im¬proving rivers and harbors.not in ob¬structing them.The Monroe document will need no

armed vessels to enforce it. Tht- know-

ledge that we hsve sixty millions ofpeople and that this is the richest conn-

try in tbe world will, as Mr. Tilden's

language justifies us in saying he knows,guarantee I'Nt le Sam against havinghis hat knocked off by any ruler underthe aun.

Mr. Tilden speaks for New Yorkagain when he attempts to ridicule theproposition to abolish all internal taxes

by styling it a proposition to take thetax off whiskey. The State Conven¬tions of the Democratic party in Vir¬

ginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania,Kew Jersey, and no doubt other Statesdeclared a few years ago in favor of themeasure, and we would like to see itsuccessful, though we cannot say thatthe prospects of its success are veryblight._

The Succession.Our good friend of the Lynchburg

_Lfran',, after saying that wc ara gene¬rally '-very accurate and constitu¬tional" in Laying down fundamentalpropo-Mtions, adds that he is compelledto hold that we " slipped up1' when wemade the following declaration :

«. Whatever Mr. Tyler was in 1841when (ieneral Harrison died, Mr. Ar¬thur would hare become if it had beenascertained by law in 1*81 that Mr.Garfield was. by reason of ' inability,'not at that tim* entitled to be Presidentof tho United States; for the constitu¬tional provision in regard to death isesactly tho same aa it is in regard toinability."

It is impossible that we cou'd harebeen in error in thia case. The propo¬sition stated by us was a mere questionof fact.not one as towhich there couldbe two opinions. The statement we

aaade ie either true or untrue. Whetherit la true or untrue caa be decided onlyky looking at the words of the FtdcralCanelilalMrf;, and learnmg io that waywhether tb* Varo-President occupies theaaaae ao*iti.,o wb u tte Preaident isangering from " inability " as when theFiireaaent le dead, lt will be observedt-st nar propoftition is qunliM-d by tb*jr-rat*. .' i( it had boan ascertained bylame |B>1 that Mr. Gabkikld was

ly reason af inability not nt that timeeatfetlew ta be Preaident of the Unitednaas**.*' Bow, let us suppose that thiiIBs. really koon tn* case in 1881.thatUs. (iABF/fclJ/s m lability .» had bean»'afca*1a-BB<J by law." What would

have been Mr. Arthur's authority inthe premise*? lot us see now whatthe Constitution provides:"In case of the remorsl of the Pre¬

sident from office, or of bis death, re¬

signation, or inability to discharge theduties and powers of the said office, thesame shall devolve on the Vice-Presi¬dent."

These words leave nothing to disputeabout. Under the law and custom offorty years, in case of the death of thePresident, the Vice-President becomesPreaident. In case of thc removal ofthe President, the vice-President be¬comes President. In csse of the resig¬nation of the President, the vice-Presi¬dent becomes President. In case ofthe insbility of tbe President, the Yice-Presitlcnt becomes President. We neednot atop to *r(rue the question whetherit ought to be so or not. What we saidthe other day.and whst we haveproved.is that whatever Mr. Tyi.kkwss in 1841, soling President or realPresident, that is just what Mr. An¬im ii would have been in 1881 if Mr.Garfield's "inability" had been as-

ct-rtained by law.

Industrial Education,ls is pretty definitely settled that

North Carolina is to have an industrialschool, and thc people of Raleigh, andthe people of Charlotte are engaged in a

generous rivalry to secure iLs locationat their respective cities. Both citieshate otiered handsome inducements to

the authorities who have charge of itsestablishment. This not only speakswell for the enterprise and publicspirit of the two cities, butis pregnant with suggestions toKichmond. Certainly this city is not

less interested in having a well-equippedindustrial school than is Raleigh or Char¬lotte. Certainly, if there is a city inthe South whose location and other ad¬vantages fit it for a great manufacturingcentre, that city is Richmond. Andif we are evtr to become a mnnuiac-

turingcentre wemust htive an abundanceof skilled labor. Thc way to

provide skilled labor, and atthe same time encourage capital¬ists to embark in manufacturingenterprises, is to found an industrialschool, or school of art and design,upon a comprehensive scale. The pro¬posed mechanics' institute is a com¬

mendable step in that direction. Withproper aid it would soon bc no more a

matter simply of proposition than isthe new Mozart Hall. A building andt reasonable endowment once secured,the night school now being conducted

bj the active friends of thc proposedinstitute, and thc school of the RichmondArt Association, would bc nuclei aroundwhich could soon be grouped a system ofschools which would meet every demand_f a great and progressive industrial:ity. Let our citizens take hold of thcmechanics' institute in the same spiritin which they have taken hold of theMozart building and the Young Men'sChristian Association building. TheyMaid not contribute to an object bettercalculated to redound to the benefit ofthe whole community.

England Has no Choice'Hie thrc'its of the London papers

against Turkey for listening to the ad¬vice of Russia are bluster at best. Itrloes very well for thc Standard to de¬clare at this stage of the Balkan gamethat "if Turkey is blind enough to

forge weapens for her own destructionEngland can only stand aloof," but, tillthe same, when it comes to the pinch,England cannot afford to stand aloof.The union of Bulgaria and EasternRoumelia would bc a good thing forEngland, and it is natural that theEnglish press should desire to see itconsummated. The united provinceswould form a buffer between Russiaand Turkey, as Afghanistan forms a

buffer between Russia and English In¬dia. Friction would be avoided, andthere would be less excuse for Rus¬sia to pick a quarrel with Tur¬

key. Hence English efforts to bullythe Porte. Yet Turkey well knowsthat if the union is not consum¬

mated and Russia makes anothermove upon Constantinople England willbe compelled to come to the assistance ofthe Sultan. In short, in the quarrel be¬tween England and Russia the Sick Manis master of the situation ; for, what¬ever may be the outcome ot the Kalkan

complication, England will have to sinkto the position of a fourth-rate Powerbefore she can allow the unspeakableTurk to be driven out of Europe. Letthe papers say what they may, theMinistry that would advocate standingaloof when Constantinople is the stakewould not live twenty-four hours.

Physical Culture.The Philadelphia Eveniuy Bulletin

Bays that with the establishment of a

department of physical culture theI niversity of Pennsylvania completesa thoroughly rational system of educa¬tion. The Bulletin does not ge too farin the estimate it puts upon physicalculture as a part of the regular collegecourse. Physical cu'.ture is almostbb essential as mentsl culture.But it should bc under restric¬tions, as is the ca_e in theUniversity of Pennsylvania. Thetrouble about physical culture or

physical exercise at most of our col¬leges ia that it is regulated by the stu¬dents themselves. It is not a part ofthe course. There is no on* to sayhow much or whst character of physi¬cal exercise a student should take,tod, as a consequmce, the studentswho indulge in it at all frequently|0 to extremes. What in a gym¬nasium would be no strain forfor one man would injure another ferlife. At the University of Pennsyl¬vania they have a professor of physicalculture, who controls the exercises ofthe students upon a rational syatem.We snail watch the results of his sys¬tem with interest, believing, as we do,that that institution has taken a stepwhich all our colleges and universitieswill take.

The Soudan.The newe from the Soudan indicates

that it is only a question of a shorttime when England will have to dis¬patch another expedition to that coun¬

try. Not only English interests inEgypt, but the necessity of reestablish-

ins English pi-eatife In thst quarter oftbe globe points te such aa expedition.

ROW IN THE RACQUET CLUB.

¦ ires-Lilli* I-MIb-TIh' -<!Bs*!*eBlb-i:#DlarvUsa.

ICxn-reepondcnce of the Blohraond Dispatch. 1Sum York, December 5. l-*5.

The Racquet Club has been all torn

up for a week past over a black-ballingincident, and it has only been compoaedby metaphorically going down on itsknees to Bill Travers, New York's Boc¬caccio. Every one who wishes to beconsidered a gilded youth, or to havethe highest taste in athletic matters, be¬lieves it necessary to be a member oftbe Racquet Club. Fistic exhibitionssie given in its rooms that are as fierce¬ly contested as any ring-fight. Bow¬ery bruisers and boxers are brought in.lilied with wine, and then set to to makea holiday for the Racquetteers, Mr.Travers was one of thc founders; hispurse was always open for its needs,and he sometimes invited choice spiritato his Jersey villa whenever he found a

particularly clever pair of boxers topit. He was consequently lookedup to ss the chief supportingspirit of the club. Imagine hischagrine, then, when he presented for thcsuffrages of thc club the name of a well-known journalist who had just returnedfrom a triumphant trip abroad, and was

unable to prevent his being black¬balled. In a splutter of disgust hethrew up his membership and wentsulking to his tent, The news of UncleBill's wrath, with the financial strin¬gency that that matter implied, causedconsternation in tho club, and a com¬mittee was sent to mollify him. newould agree to nothing short of thcelection of his candidate. The time, forthe annual Delmonico spread which hogives thc club was close at hand, money-was not very plentiful, and the boys in¬continently yielded and swallowed thejournalistic pill.

This same journalist was abroad alllast summer, and so impressed some

members of the English aristocracy withhis importance that it is said he wasable to make acquaintances among the1'iii'ccof Walcs's set. and even to knowtbs Prince himself. Avery high esti¬mate was placed upon his position inNew York society, in other swellEnglish circles, and American peoplethen in London who knew his antece¬dents and standing here came mar be¬ing tabooed for remarkiiiL' that he was

quite unknown to fashion and culturein tho Empire State.

UT__-.LO.TA.Nat. Goodwin has been coining money

hand over list at thc Standard Theatrefor the three weeks in thc silliest va-

rii ty hodge-podge ever put on the stage.Goodwin ia tbe company and the play.of course, as without him cither wouldbe intolerable. The people have flockedto see bim ami hundreds were turnedaway rightly. To-night ends his en¬

gagement because he could not buy offLotta, who is billed there for tba comingweek. Extravagant inducements werewere offered to thc little lady to give upher wuk. but she declined them all.Time hasdealtkindly with Lotta, butaneis not in robust health, she fears the lossofpublic favor, and bet ambition baBadly chilled, lt wai ber opinion tbatMr. Abbey ought to have given her tilepreference over Mary Anderson in thematter ol appearances in England, andDann- r.iiinor asserts in theatrical cir¬cles that thc Gmbtreoa ami Abbey havefallen out over it. Mrs. Crabtree em¬

phasizes her declarations about Abbey'sBbort-sigbtednees by pointing to Mi**Anderson's ill lUOCSM here and its result¬ing pecuniary embarrassment. Meantimea host of imitators of various degree-,of capability arc vexing Lotta's soul,and, what is worse, diverting the publicmoney. Hence it il that she set so higha value on her New York engagementand resisted Nat. Goodwin's temptation.

Wallack's long lane of failures basturned at last into the high road of suc¬

cess with *.. Hoodman Blind," as I pre¬dicted would be the case last week. Itis a story whose principal scenes arelaid in the lowest slums of London, andit requires an immense cast of thirty-two speaking characters. When oneremembers that Wallack's is patronizedexclusively by New York's most fash¬ionable and exclusive people it seems

strange that such a play, even althoughit represents the triumph of virtue overvice and inculcates high morality, shouldbe so great a success, lt is of thc fash¬ion that the Bowery delights in.

NINKTI'LNTH-CKNTrilY CLUB.The Nineteenth-Century Club, com¬

posed of deep souls yearning for thchigher and better things of this life, andwith argumentative and literary lean¬ings, will discuss Wagner and hisschool of music at their next meeting.The Rev. Piofessor llawcis, thc cele¬brated English writer on music, willmake the statement of the case for thcWsgnerites, and Colonel Mapleson willspeak against it and in favor of Italianopera. Wagner's music is to Italianmusic what the blare of the brass bandis to the tinkle of the guitar. Wagneris thc fashion now, and the Italians arl¬in very bad ase. This is largely dueto Colonel Mapleson's lack of enter¬prise, or perhaps of money. Heopeuel the season with some indifferentsingers and a threadbare rapertory, en¬tirely unworthy of the liberal supporthe has hitherto received. He promisedprofusely to produce new works, buthe has gone fatuously on with thethings that used to enrapture our grand¬fathers until now he plays to half-emptyhouses and is driving the Academy-of-Mu.ic directors to the bouncing point.Meantime the progressive Germans atthe Metropolitan Opera-House are pro¬ducing opera afteropera with a gorgeous¬ness of scene and magnilicence of de¬tail such as New York never knewbefore. Wagner's music, to my ear,is about as interesting as recita¬tive, but his works require bar¬baric pomp, splendid processional ef¬fects, vast stage distances, and massesof color. They appeal to the eye ofthe average man, and only to the pro¬foundly harmonious heart is the bang-cra.sh of the master of the North thetrue music of the future. Therefore,the meeting of these two champions ofthe old and new in music is looked for¬ward to with great interest. Mr. Ha-weis is expected to tell the Wagnerite.why they like that style, and Mr. Ma¬pleson.than whom no one is morecompetent to discuss it.will plead fora renewal lease of favor for the Italians.

A IIOOMKRAN4I.The political top cs of the week have

been the doings of the Gibba investi¬gating committee and Mayor Grace'slibel suit sgainst the World. Gibbscame with power from the Legislatureto smoke out the Democrats who holdoffice in New York. Smarting withdefeat in tbe recent election, he htsleft no eton, unturned to find corrup¬tion. He has found it, but unexpect¬edly to bim it proved to be Republican,and now he poses ss a great reformer.

long time in dispute, but it was settledrecently, when it was announced thathe had taken out his final naturaliza-lion papers just previous to his electionaa mayor.

A TILLAGE INDANGER.Ts» M eur I tareel PsIlairH trim a ivmeicrt.

A Nyack (N. Y.) telegrsm ssys : Forseveral years past there has been a

growing feeling among the people livingin tbe northwestern part of this villageagainst the gradual but certain encroach¬ment of Oak-Hill cemetery upon thevillage limits. It has been feared thatthe dead bodies, if their burial-place wasextended any further in an easterly di¬rection, would contaminate the watercourses running toward the village andperhaps pollute the veins of water thatare likely to be the sources which sup¬ply numerous wells and springs in thevicinity. Thc sentiment of the peoplehere has not, however, found publicvent in a very emphatic manner untilrecently, partly because of an affectionfor the bury ing-ground on the part ofthose who have relatives and friends in¬terred there; but late developments have¦ag the people here thinking and talkingmore strongly, and to-day the matter iaau important topic of conversation. Afew days ago the attention of the StateBoard of Health at Albany was calledto thc present and prospective conditionof things, and a prompt and full investi¬gation has been made. The report ofAlfred C. Carroll, If, D., secretaryand executive olliccr, accompanied bythose of Horace Andrews, civil MBJt-necr, and William Haiku, Jr., winmade an analysis of tho water in thevicinity of thc cemetery, has just beenmade pubiic. creating a great interestamong the people here. The facts andsuggestions contained in the reports are

-" pertinent that no doubt the commu¬

nity will bc greatly bcnclited by theaction that will result from them.

Dr. Carroll in his report says: -'Thcdangers arising from thc decompositionof animal matter in burying-groundsvary with the character of the soil, butunder any circumstances the differenceis rather one of degree than of kind.In porous soils such decompositiontakes place most rapidly, complete de¬cay ol the body sometimes occurringin a very few years: but thesesoils permit thc greatest diffu¬sion of gaseous and dissolvedproducts. In tho case under con--iikratiin, with gravelly superliccs un¬

derlaid l.y tiliuost impel vi -his strata,sm h witic diffusion of the rapidly-pro¬duced liquefied results of putrefactionwould bc particularly favored. It billong been a matter of common expe¬rience that low fevers and various for.usof -filth diseases '

are apt to prevail inthe neighborhood of old burying-grounds where population giaround them."The people of [tyaak feel a great in¬

terest in this matter, ami the Ineustigt-tioii and report of the State Board ol'Ilcal'h will no doubt prove ben.in rel arding tbe growth of the cemeteryin tbe direction of the village.
