The Charlottesville Advocate speaks in the fol-
lowing forcble terms of the late act of Assembly
for postponing the elections
We are utterly opposed to this measure. both in it.
SELF and because it involves the necessity Of basty and
perhaps lnconsiderate vote of the people upon the
amended Constitution. We think that the postpone

wise and highly improper. But as the bill has now be-
come an, all good citizens must of course not only
submit to, but xer themselves 10 carry out its proyi
sons. F
There one feature of the law which in our Judgment
is especially reprehensble. We alude to that which
permits those to whom the right suffrage shall be ex
tended by the new Constitution to vote upon its adop-

wise OF ali the principles of free government 1t an
indication OF that downward tendency towards ,o6o-
crdcy which, We fear, is taking but too strong hold
upon the public mind of this State and the whos coun-
try. We deeply regret that the Legislature of Virgin

that the same thing done in 1880, but that does

Gus class OF citizens, who, may be thought should
have voice in the adoption of the Constitution under
which they live afford any palIaton for gross violation
OF republican principles We are heartily in favor of
the extension OF the right of suffrage by and under the
Constitution, but not in favor of placing that
right before and above the Const tuition

Great sensation has been lately caused at Flor
ence by an intended duel with pistols between
two countesses, in consequence of political dis
pute. One of those aides had taken an active part
in the war of Italian Independence, and the other
is fair daughter of the North, whose name is
well known in the diplomatic world. The compa-
tants were on the ground, and the pistols charged
when fortunately their husbands arrived, and put
stop TO the affair."
