The ca ender of the. Aziecs gave an
equal number of days and weeks 10 each
month; far more convenient arrange
meEt than our own; and such was the
extreme accuracy of their astronomical
observations, that no apprecia6le error
has been discovered in their reckoning
by subsequent calculations; while the
Europeans who landed in Mexico in
1919, were, by the Julian calender, near
eleven DAYS in advance Of the exact
time. II is remarkable, and by no means
fa,tering to our self-love, for it is one oil
many proofs Of our ignorance of the
past, that an example of more perfect
method of computing time than has been
adopted by any other nation in the world
should have been found among the sub
iects Of Montezuma.

an old man stooplng and leaning on his

eat and prayed not, nor begged for a
blessing on his meat, he asked him why
he did not worship the God Of heaven
The old man told him, that he worship.

grew so zealously angry, that he thrus

him TO oil the evils oSan uuguarded con

The N. Y. Herald closes an article on the pc"
li,ical bearings OF the impending change III tho
editorial management of the Washington Union
with the following remarks:
Some persons-even politicians themselves, for there
are many OF these whose daily business we must
teach them-will inquire what all this means They
wi ask why this change at Washington! What is
to be effected? What is tobe the result! The answer is
simply this There is TO lie grand race for the plesl
dency in whch all sorts Of light and heavy weights
to contend Trained and unframed steeds are 10 be
tried Rand from the present prospects it will be steepe
chase for it is break-neck work. Already the good
old racer, Glass; has down and killed that ambitious
runner Buchanan and the Texas hunter, Houston pro-
misses to use up Cass. What will become OF Houston
nobody te but it seems quite probable that he will
tear up the TURF and get into good running order by the
time OF the first great democratic meeting at Baltimore
when some young melted charger will leap over his
head, and come in clean length before him We shall
see--we shall see.
Judge Douglas is more likely TO be the young
and melted charger than any other man. We
believe he is willing that his case should be
postponed at the Democratic Convention in 1852
provided it be made the special order of the day
for 1856

" Little Jack Homer

Mr.. Homer, of Tyler and Wetze, is gentle.
man of rather curious political bearings. He was
known as Wing until he was elected to repre-
sent Democratic constituency. His course this
session has been little tortuous. He voted for
MIR. Mason as Senator, and against Mr.. John NJ.
Daniel as Councillor. Thursday night he is COM

caucus, which had to consider the nomination of
Governor, and kindred subjects such as the
Union resolutions, and to have received formal
admission into the fold Of the faithful Friday. he

SIGNoRINA PARoDIs CONCERT at the Theatre Satur-
day evening was of the musical treats ever
enjoyed in the city. The enthusiasm OF the audence
reached pitch during the performance rarely attain
ed here and abundany testified lively application of
the wonderful attanments of the artistes. The cele-
braed scena and duetta from Bellin's opera of"Nol-
ma" took the audience by storm, repeated three
several times by Signorinas Parod and Patti, who
were afterwards called back twice 10 receive the con-
gratuatons Of the audience
The Germana band performed some of their choice
pieces, which, together with the singing OF Avgnone.
and the airs on the piano forte by Suakosch, and the
music OF Hausers violin, particularly the Bird ON the
Tree, rendered the concert one Of the most entertain
ing hich we have ever had the pleasure to enjoy,

DANVILLE RAILROAD

We congratulate the friends of this improve
ment on the final passage of the bill authorizing
State subscription of three-fifths of an addition
al capital of 100000. 1t was passed bv the
Senate on Thursday evening by the strong vote OF
81 10 6.
1t will now behove all who are interested in the
success of the work TO make the necessary efforts
to raise the private subscription which will secure
the benefits of this appropriation. We must be
permitted TO tell its friends in the country tbst
IN every county except Pitsylvania, they have
iaiien lar below the proper mark in their subscrip-
tons Men of substance, whose landed property
Will be improved in value to an extent with which
the costot ten or twenty shares would bear no COM
parlson, have been content to take single shares.
The great county of Halifax alone could well a(
ford to raise the whole $500, 900 to be subscribed
Richmond we hope will subscribe $50 600 in or
der to secure the heavy rail as far as the Junction
We cannot believe that the road will be permitted
to fail OF completion, for the want of a very mo-
derale degree Of energy on the part of its teneG-
ciaries

ROCKINGHAM DISTRICT.

The lIarrisonburg Republican urges the
Wings of its district 10 hold convention at
some early day, for the purpose of adopting some
course by which the Wings of the district, as a
party, shall pledge themselves, publicly, to take
no part in the election, in case another candidate
than Gov. Mcdowell should be run by the Loco
focos.
The Republicans view is that the Democrat.
should not be allowed to play the double game of
supporting both the friends and opponents of
the Compromise measures 1t believes that a
majority of the Democrats are opposed to those
measures, and wishes to see the que ston tested
We predict thatif the Wings do hold off, Gov Nc
Dowel Will either have no competitor or will de-
feat any that may enter the field against him.

The Basis Question in The Valley.

The UarrisonburG Republican has the follow
ING strong remarks on the present aspect Of the
basis question in the State Convention
VIRGINIA CoNvENTIoN.-At our latest adyces from
Richmond, this body still engaged in the discussion
oil the basis question, than which, there could not well be
4 more asenseess waste OF time and aInoney Every
principle involved in the question at issue, was as
fully and much more ably elaborated in 1929, by the
great men oil that day Who in opinion, understood
them Just we'll do those OF the present Convention
than they can be at this time.
In the Convention of 1929 there were very few, ii any
advocates OF what is called the suffrage basis; but in
the Convention in session all the white bass men
seem 10 have changed front and TO 60 UNANIMOUSLY Tor
the suffrage basis and nothing else. Whether there is
any reason growing out OF their interest IN this matter
or whether II is purely matter OF principle which has
induced the change pretend not to say; but we are
inclined to the opinion, that upon examination 1t VIII be
found that interest and nothing but interest the cause
OF the change on the part of the white basis men, vino
profess to be governed by principle alone.
Alter all that may be said and done we venture TO
predict, that The white basis suffrage basis Is now
most fashionable to call it, will be defeated
What the Republican says concerning the
suffrage basis" affords striking confirmation
of the forcbe view taken of that subject by Mr..
Barbour of Cupepcr. Those who read his speech
will remember that he showed, from the debates
Of the Convention of ls29-3o, that Mr.. Chap.
man Johnson was the only member of that body
aiter ME- ldylor OF Norioik llad lelt IL, VINO ad-
vocated the suffrage basis. Then this basis gave
the West not quite so large a representation as
the basis of population. Now, it is supposed
from the fact that Western Virginia receives more
Immigrants than the East, that the basis of voters
would give the West more Legislative power
than the white basis would; and we find the "snf-
trage basis, accordingly, unanimously supported
by Western members. 1t is a remarkable illus
tration of the fact that the minds of the most no
norable men are easily biased by their interests

will think, that Capt. Jnkins acted judicously and
that blame should attach either to him or the watch
men under his charge.
