THE ELECTION OF GOVERNOR-DEM
.OCRATIC GRATITUDE.

The election Of JOHN b. FLOYD may fairly be
regarded as Wing triumph. The regular Dem
ocrats We're very DESTROYS to elect Mr. SAMUELs, of
Shenandoah, man of their own faith in all RESPECTS
and gentleman of good talents and character
Ahey thought, too, no doubt, that something was
due TO Shenandoah, which had twice saved the
State to the Democratic party-once in 1910 and
again in 1913. The Southwestern democracy.
however; preferred to unite with the Wings and
elect Mr.. FLOYD. We have understood that he is
very worthy gentleman and that he did the
Wings good service in the last canvass True he did
not vote for Gen. TAYLOR, but he said many kind
things OF him on all occasions, and his position gave
his declarations much greater force than If they had
come from Wing. All his sympathies are Wing
and most of his connexions belong to the Wing par
", and we must, therefore, regard him as almost a
Wing, and his election by Wing votes as altoge,h-
er WING triumph.
While we congratulate Wings on an event 50
suspicious TO them, we cannot withhold our condo
lence from friends Of tie Tenth Legion. They
seem to be in great favor with their party before an
election but are treated with little consideration
after the victory is 1t really seems hard that
''Little Tennessee" whose majority was reduced
from 2lOO TO 700, should be parupered and fed,
while Shenandoah, which gave increased ma
jority, and by its vote alone saved the State should
BE III ola horse, after a hard day Is
work, to Craze upon the common. The leaders at
Richmond think the Tenth Legion men are bound
TO them tight enough and that there is no need for
conciliating them, while the Southwestern people,
who are deserving by hundreds must be retained by
liberal share of the spoils

ceited youth whose crude notions Of government
were not entitled to respectful consideration.
In relation to the latter, the people have just
pressed their sentiments and practically settled it
for, at least, four years to after the fourth day
Of March next and the Presidents course is very
much like that of sutton whose cause has been de-
cided adversely to him, but who continues to ar
que most vociferously only to vent his disappont-
ment and spleen. However sound the argument
may be- it comes little too la,e--the is deci-
ded and there can be no appeal. In one way only
can Mr.. PoLx's labored treatise have any practical
effect-Gen TAYLOR may, by possibility, be con-
verted TO his way Of thinking, and then, being a
Wing, he will, of course, veto only Locofoco mea-
sureSt

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER

1t has been a subject of complaint that the Liter
allure of the South was at SO low ebb, and Vir-
ginians, especially, seeking distinction in politics
alone, have extended but little encouragement tc
enterprises of a literary character.
But the December No. OF the periodicalment
ed above, demonstrates that we are on the advance
1t abounds with useful, entertaining and instructive
matter, and will be read with interest by all. The
writings of its Editor, Mr.. THoMrsoN, evidence q
cultivated and well-furnished mind, and TEEN with
just criticism and easy illustration.
Virginians should make it point Of pride to sus
tain such work, and we hope it will meet with
that patronage as its high merits demand.

e5- It. VIM f. Lynch, a worthy son Of Virgil
mia and leader of the expedition to the Dead Sea,
has addressed letter to the Secretary of tho Ma
Wy, informing him that he has procured on private
account, two Khalsi Calves ''Homs'' and Hama, "
of the Royal breed Of Damascus, and that they
would be at New York about the LIST Of December.
The breed is Of extraordinary size, and the females
proverblal for copious yield of milk. Lieut.. LYNCH
is anxious to introduce the stock into his native
State, and with this view places The Calves at the
disposal of the Secretary Of the Navy. He has
committed them to Gen. RIcHARDsoN, upon whose
farm three miles from Richmond, they will remain
subject to public inspection for time afterwards, to
be turned over 10 some one in this Valley, who will
undertake to raise them and do by them will best
promote the public interest and the object of the do
nor, who claims only for his expense and trouble
the firstmale Calf from the present stock.
