Virgin,a, Oct. 8, 1898.

In a preceding column we insert brief adj
ditlonal article from our respected correspon-
dent PHocioN. He cites the authority of
Washington, to shew that the constitution
which at any time exists is I" sacredly obliga-
tory on all" Surely it needed no ghost to
tell us this much less was il necessary to intro
duce the shade of Washington to announce
such truth. We have heard of no design 10
violate the Constitution. AS to the assembling
! of a number Of the Members of Congress for
the purpose OF recommending their fellow
citizens the fitness and expediency cfselecting
particular individual Tor the Office of Presi-
dent, we can see in that no more a violation
ofthe Constitution, than in any other private
act which Member of Congress can perform
Such a recommendation is not forbidden by
the Constitution, and it is admitted TO be, I'M
der existing circumstances, desirable and ex-
pedient. How then can it be illegal or impro-
per PHoCIoN, known friend tn FIRE in
quiry, will pardon these remarks, and not
feel offended, we are sure, If we add two or
three questions.
Was the Constitution violated when Mr..
Madison was nominated by "A Caucus, in
l807-9?
Was the Constitution violated when the
same gen!lemDn was nominated, in a similar
manner in 1919?
Was the Constitution violated by the no
mination of Mr.. Monroe, in 1916
Did the BARBoURs, and MASON, and Bur-
WE'LL and BAssErr, Of Virginia-those rigid
exponnders of the Constituiion-dd those
men, and the host 0f other Patriots who at
tended the Caucus of I8l6-tid they violate
the Constitution in so doing
As to Caucus at the present time, we con
frss, if il were not demanded by the tranquil
lily OF the country, and the integrity Of the
Republican. party we should not be amongst
It's advocates, any more than would sup
port any other unnecessary act. But as these
considerations render Congressional nomina-
ton, at this time, highly expedient-indeed
absolutely essential to the preservation OF the
Republican party and as there Is, IN our
humble Judgment, no constitutional restriction.
we devoutly trust that such nomination will
be mad,-the person who shall he designated
sinks into nothing, where all the aspirans are
worthy, rs at present, compared with the i'm
portance of making nomination OF some one
of them. Nat Int.

merOus aud highly respectable and the cheer

The Ploughing Matches were exceedingly
well arranged and attracted great attention !;
eight pIoughs moved simultaneously for the
prizes-and all performed Admiralty. The

Baltimore Patriot, that the claims 10 indpmni-
ty for the spoliations committed by the
French, which we're given up To that power
by the United States, far n valuable c0nsdera
ton IN the Convention of 500. are about to be
urged against this government ri the ensuing
session OF Congress under course of pro-
ceedng that promises relief 10 the long suffer
ing claimants.
gentleman of this city has been appointed
by the claimants in all the cities and towns in
the United States, To hriug the subject before
Congress, and it is said that some of the most
eminent statesmen of the cunntry have given
their decided opinion in favor Gifts Justice and
fair promise under the projected course.
IL is very remarkable that so little has been
done in this matter heretofore {; the sufferers
have contented Themselves with consuming the
government for an indifference to their inter
ests, while they have over-iookrd the necessi-
~ of laying the subject befnr. In. proper an
'horines IN such tornI and manner as Ia com
mand a respectful consideration.
We have conclusive proof of the warm co.
operation of the claimants along the sea hoard
and have no doubt tina: distant and scnrte, ed
claimants will readily see their interest in ma
king the ~ estnt common cause.
A late number Of Bells Weekly Messenger
states that throughout the greater par, of Eng
land the harvest was wt'lI-h,used, and So abun
dant as to remove all approximations of search
~. The wheat exceeded IN average crop.
We are decided in oar opinion" says the
same paper, -" that the price Of wheat is about
TO fall eight or ten shillnss in the quarter that
lis price about Christmas will huciuatf he
tween AZ and Is shillings. and that, in the
spring and summer, it will fix at what we nnw
deem us permanent peace price, from 81 Ia
60 shilllngs. Sixty shillings it will never again
exceed, except in seasons of scarcity, that is,
about one year 10 SEVEN
There was the same prospect of abundance

LoNDoN, Sept s1.-The war Of Spain ia
now approaching one of those stages of its
progress when there will necessarily arise y
pause, breathing time, for considering the fu-
ture. We will assume that Cadiz must sur
lender, that the Cortes will disperse that the
King and Royal family will be set at liberty
and that Ferdinand will be renstated npon his
throne in Madrid hut even then, will any re-
ilecting man say, that the accomplishment Of
these things will prove the accomplishment Of
that for which the war was undertaken? Is It
not, on the contrary, quite obvious that, as far
as concerns the tranquility of the Peninsula
every thing will remain TO he done. And the
dilhcuit question that thence arises is, how
this important remainder can be- brought about.
Our own orinion is, that although Spain is
