EXECUTIVE VENGEANCE

BY the last ma il we received the following formal
official communication from the Secretary the Com
monwealth
"Sir The Governor desires me to direct that your
paper be no longer sent to this Department"
AS is our habit and disposition pay all obedience
to the "powers that be-, We shall cheerfulIy comply
with the request ths Excellency. We are Indifferent
TO the petty malignancy which prompts it. De mini
mis- non curat Argus, which, moderned into sublime
verse; means-the ARGUS doesno for "small pota-
toes" The present Governor of Virginia has been po
litcaly, everything by turns and nothing long" By
trckery, dupliciy ard infidelny 10 the usages Of
the Democratic party, he managed TO have himself
elected to the gubernaoral Office without one quai-
cation or attribute TO recommend him to the station,
but the name OF his iustous and patriotic father. He
went into the Executive chair bankrupt in fortune
he will leave it bankrupt in reputation. He was at
one time furious Southern Rights man--prepared to
resist Northern aggression "a all hazards and to the
last extremity" He has fallen from blood heat to zero
on this question, and is avowed submissonis,.
And we make the prediction that in three years from
this time if it shall contribute in the least to his vain
pirings he will become rabid aboonist. We say-
mark the prediction.-Norfolk Argus.

lHE NIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.--lf we may Judge
from what has thus far transpired, the Conven-
ton at Richmond bids fair to out-Herod the
Mountain men of France in the worst days of the
Old revolution. BY referring to the postscript head
OF our last paper, it will be seen that, in Commit
tee OF the Whole, proposition was made re-
curing every citizen to pay tax before he shall
exercise the right OF suffrage, and thatths prop
osltlon mas rejected. Now this Committee of the
Whole have decided that those who pay nothing to
the support of Government shall have voice in the
expenditure of the money levied upon the labor
OF those who do pay. Was there ever anything
more absurd than this proposition? Did any
body OF men, claiming to be either sane or decent,
ever exhibit such practical illustration OF jack
cadism? Who before have ever advocated such
universal suffrage as this will be? We had
been under the impression that the advocates of
universal suffrage rested their claim to it on the
ground that all who contributed 10 the support of
Government should have avoice in regulating il.
Most certainly this has been Our own opinion, and
never, until the idea was preached by the Sa
chems of the Convention, did we conceive that anv
human being out side a mad house would advo.
cate proposition which, ifadopted. would place
the taxpayer and the non-tax payer ON footng of
perfect equality the polls But we live, or should
live, TO learn; and such is our opinion ofthis Con-
vention at Richmond--such is our estimate of
the spirit o: give Points" demagoguism which
pervades It, that we would not be at all sur
prised II 1t enacted that none but non-tax-payers
should enjoy the right of suffrage. Can nothing
be done to break up this Convention? We had
strong hopes that the abundant supply of May
cherries, aided by the usual diurnal consumption

KICKING AND CUTTING IN THE VALLEY.-A white
man named Andrew Moore, appeared yesterday before

ally struck him. Gaines, unlike the Inflated St. Pierre
quietly pockeled the blow, and determined to take no
farther notice OF his antagonist; but Moore it appears,
not vet satisfied determines to give him few more SO,
on Thursday last, he met Gaines and deliberately
kicked that citizen in manner not to be borne Gaines
flew to the Mayors Office to obtain redress and pro.

DIsTEMPER IN CATTLE.-The farmer could scarcely
be supplied with a more desirable recipe, than one
which would enable him to protect his cattle from the
fatal disease commonly called the "distemper" A
gentleman much interested in all that concerns the
agrculturst, has mentioned us the fact that promi.
nent citizen of Amelia county has, for many years
adopted tine plan OF sailing his cattle in trough in
the bottom of which there is thick layer of tar and
upon that layer Of common sulphur. In period OF
some 20 years the cattle have escaped the 'dstemper
entirely, except IN two years when this peculiar mode
OF sailing them omitted and in both ofthese years
they were assailed with the disease

The Richmond correspondent of the Petersburg
DEMOCRAT in his letter OF the 4th inst. writes:

In ofthe moring papers of this city, it is stated
that about t,Do ftHs of the members of the Conven-

have been absent the editor does not say nor do know
but thing is certain: days absence cost the
State tor these absenees, Chat is providing they re-
aud sixteen dollars. Pretty good pay fer no work.
But, there are, in fact, too many members absent
The consequence is that very little progress made
by those remaining behind; they know it will be in
the power of this absenees when they return, undo
all that has been done.
The very small attendance to- day was in some meas
ure, attributable to the fact that many otmembers,

Auditor, Ro. Johnson, absent at the funeral of
his estlmable and accomplished wife, who died yes
