A Generous Act-A gentleman in New Or
leans, not remarkable for his berality, had a
tenant who had occupied a building OF his for
some years. During the recent pressure the
tenant called upon his landlord, and said that
he was unable then to pay his rent for the pre-
ceding month, and reminded him that he had
punctualy paid him his rent 1924 per month";
for seven years The landlord was memorable,
and told him he must move, and gave him fif-
teen days to find a house. Before the fifteen
days expired the tenant called and paid his rent
the landlord handed him piece of paper,
saying there is your receipt" Upon the ex-
piration of the fifteen days the tenant again call
ed, and informed the landlord that he had OBJ
tanned house, and was moving. The land
lord replied, "you are fool sir! you are
fool! 90 look at your receipt; you will find that
it is in full for the rent for twelve months" The
tenant had not examined it, went home in great
surprise, and when he found it. to his still great
err establishment, it was bill Of sale of the
whole property, worth at least fourteen thous-
and dollars-Natehez Courier.

ALEXANDRIA,:
FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 81, 1884.

VIReINIA.-The Richmond Enquirer says
Virginia will elect Senator who is against
any Bank, in spite of all alternatives and de-
velopments:"- she doubtless will, II she
elects Mr. Leigh:-and that the Jackson par
ty will have nett gain in the next House OF Re-
representatives. of four or five members" Is II
meant that the great-republican-pa gene
raj, or only that moiety of the faithful in Virg'-
mia, is to have this gan7-if the latter, to quote
its own emphatic declaration, nous rerrons'-
The Enquirer, however, not only In the para
graph which we have quoted, but constantly,
labors to produce the impression, and indeed
frequently affirms, that Virginia is re-revolu-
tionzed, and will be once more Jackson State
We notice this, in order that all who place con-
fidence in the Vaccinations Of the political ora
Gle at Richmond, may take heart and think &C
cordingly. As for ourselves, we are such in
corrigible heretics and disbeevers, that We
mistrust the priests and worshippers in the tenn
nile as much as we do the IDOL itself

This will give the Wing party the important
advantage OF a concurrent vote in both branch
es on any subject of national concern, ana with
the Wbio majority in its Congressional deega-
ton concusively establishes the Wing character
of The State no matter on which side the small
majority for Governor shall appear to have been
given. On this last point, the same paper the
latest which could have been received from the
State, has this paragraph:
alt is as yet matter Of doubt who is elected
Governor Of this State. So close is the vote,
and so contradictory the returns we receive
that we are unable to give the result with any
kind Of certainty. We incline to the opinion,
however, that Lucas is reelected by very
small majority"
We are authorized, therefore, to reiterate the
assertion with which We accompanied the first
returns Of this election-that Ohio stands rege-
nerated, weaned from her political deiuslon, and
has taken her stand on the side Of the ConStitu-
ton. The fate Of ia cksonism is now sealed, and
the days of misrule numbered.

conclusive information that the Wings have

of fourteen. The GAINESVILLE Republican, of Sa-

INAUGURATION IN New HAMPsHIRE.--New-
Hampshire seeks for the lead in aiding The pro
gress of amalgamation. Whatever may be
thought Of the object, there can be no doubt that
they are taking the mostapproprate means to OBJ
tain it. We find in the Emancipator, an adver-
tsement by the Trustees of an Academy at Con-
cord, from which the following extracts are
made
To he american PubIiC.-" The undersigned,
Trustees of the Noyes Academy, in conformity
with the wishes Of large majority of the do
nors of said Academy. and with the unanimous
vote Of the corporators named in the act OF the
Legislature, have come to the resolution TO ad-
nit to the privileges Of this Institution, colored
youth of good character on equal terms with
whites Of like character"
"If, therefore, there really exists between them
and the whites, that natural and invincibe an
tipathy. which many aege as an argument
against our plan, how important and necessary
is it for the welfare Of the whole country that
some of their own color should be humanized,
Christianized and qualified, &C."
The advertisement is signed by

Now this is certainly the fairest and best way
to make the experiment. and ifthere have been
heretofore, any antpathy" between the two
races the admission Of the blacks into the
School upon "equal' terms with the whites will
tend much to eradicate it.
We presume it is not intended to confine the
School to one sex alone; and therefore we may
calculate that in time the ladies of New Hamp-
shire will get over their foolish antipatby to
black skin-at least that favored portion of them
which may have The good fortune to receive
their early impressions at the SCHOOL, in Concord.

From the Southern Wing.

WE recommend the following letter to the
attention Of our readers. 1t is in answer to a
letter to Judge Clayton, making inquiry whether
the bills Of any of The Banks in Georgia would
be taken in payment for land at the sales in Co
lumbus, Mississippi, and developes the astonish-
ing fact that the President has determined to
receive no bills Of any bank South of Virginia,
except the Planters Bank of Mississippi, and no
bills of any bank Of less denomination than
$50 II appears that u S. Bank bills will not
even be taken-at least such is the plain and
literal meaning of the letter. How is it possible
for citizens Of Georgia or S. Carolina or Ala
bama to make purchases OF land at those sales?
1t is next to impossible that they can procure
funds on anyofth the banks named in the list below,
and amounts to virtual exclusion Of them from
the market more high handed act of wan
ton, arbitrary despotism never disgraced the
acts of republican government. Bills on a
Boston Bank to be taken for land sold in Missis-
sippi while bills on Georgia and Alabama are
refused! But Andrew Jackson has done it,
the cold Hero" has willed 1.-THE cold Ro-
man" has commanded it, and all the truly faith
full will throw up their caps and shout, huZza for
old Hickory.

has excited much interest in Maine, from the
circumstance of the nomination having been

the consent of the Honorable Council was OBJ

in favor of the nomination.; but one of the
four, willing to sooth the Governors feelings,
voted with the two, expecting to produce tie,
and give the Governor an opportunity to with
draw the nomination, without notification
This certainly was very kind, charitable and be-
neyoleut; but it so happened that another of the
xscretly entertained the same generous DISPOSE
