FRIDAY MORNING, MAY. 3. 1874.
TIE OLD DOMINION.

The news fron, Virginia in another COL
umn although far from being decisive as TO
the result, is calculated to cheer every friend
Of Mr.. Clay. In a State where the vagar'es
Of modern democracy have been linked in a
sort Of hereditary life with the real demo-
Gratis who graced that glorious soil in better
days, gain in any county or district, over
the vote of 1910, when the State was only
carried for Van Buren, by about 400 votes,
mus, certainly he admitted to augur well for
the result in the fall. We do not, however,
as yet make any claims on Virginia, nor are
we quite sure that success there at this time
would be the best thing for us. 1t is limited
in certain quarters, that if, after the spasno-
die struggles Of citizen Richie, the State
should go strongly Wing, the friends of Mat
ty would be ready to give him up in despair
and try their luck with any body else, rather
than 60 into the contest, certain of defeat
under his soiled and la,tered banner.
For ourselves, we are quite sure that Mr.
Clay will distance any and every candidate
who may be entered agains. him, bu, really
we have become so accustomed to the pros
pect of trouncing Van, that we should pre-
fer to have things 'cmain as they are. Ane
so we should be willing to give the Loco
Virginia this spring, if it will only strength
en- their arms to nominate him. But 70
ourselves we do not, and never have doubte
that he was to be the nominee, and this " il
spite Of lamentations here and elsewhere"

TEXAS ANNEXATION,

We have heard of mothers overlaying
their children while asleep and smothering
them, but it is seldom that political father
is seen to kill his own cherished offspring,
with his eyes wide open. 1t remained how
ever, for the stupid anomaly now squatting
in tine chair Of State to show us great ma
ny new things under the sun, and this among
them.
1t appears that the great annexation trea-
ty so pompousl y sent in to the Senate, and
which has formed the basis of the rand lu-
cubra,ions of Johnny Raw of the Madiso-
MAN for some months past, is on examination
too hideOus and abominabe deformty even
for the s,omachs Of the annexationists. It's
accompanied by long list of documents,
which are among the most extraordinary on
our records. Some of the most rabid friend,
Of annexation, 1t is said, declare openly tina
such thing can never get their votes, and i
is confidently predicted that it will not get
dozen votes in the Senate So much fol-
John Tyler's hobby, wherein John Jones
has been confidently predicting tina, he woul,
ride into the Presidency, over all opposition
The last flicker of the Tylerian candle ha
gone out in the socket, and all is darkness

THE TYLER CABINET,

The failure-the utter disspaton--of Presi'
dent Tyer's hopes Of nomination for The next
Presidency, which awaits him in all the month
Of May, will be very likely to produce an explo-
sion in his homogeneous and disconnected cabi.
net. The manner in which public opinion will
touch that body, through the action Of the two
great national nominating Conventions. will act
on il like putting the thumb and finger on one
Of Rupert's drops, and it will fly into fragments.
"Pequod," in notice Of this subject says:
Ominous clouds hang round the White House; and
between and the Treasury there seems storm por-
tending. 1t may not burst, but it rolls with menacing
vehemence. ! aspire not to the character of proph-
ct, nor hope for prophets reward, but If anything
disastrous should happen, beg you renders would
