these are members Of the Legislature, and Win
no otbcr claims than that thcy have been faith
ful to the party. Another fact that the world
ought to know, connected with this matter, Is
that Gen Richardson was, and has ever been
the friend Of G W Munford. Indeed | am
informed that it was through his exertlons
that he vas first elected Clerk of the House,
and he Is now used as the tool to displace one
of the best officers in Virginia.
See what is said Of Richardson by com
mitlee Of he Legislature. 1T affords US plea
ishing condition of the Library affords sub
icct for much congratulalion. From very
uncomfortable beginning, it has steadily IN
creased until it has attained to a magnihcence
orthy of The State. and emitting it 10 be re
garded as public ornament Its attractive
materials, consisting Of the most approved
works upon Law, literature, science and the
arts, have been selected and arranged in the
most tasteful and udicious manner. Beng
entirely independent Of all appropriations from
the treasury, it sustains itself, and exhibits at
this time an unexpended balance which the
highesl amount of its funds at any previous
period has never equallcd. We should not
do justice to faithful aud efficient public Off
Ger, we're we TO omit, in this connection, the
expression of our opinion, sustained by an ex'
animation Of the recorded proceedings of the
Joint Library Committee for upwards oftwen-

If such dootriue as ITO the vctors belong

and faithful officers are to be put out of office

enough of the people to feel sure that they
will not weekly submit to any such outrage
and surely they will now begin to scrutnlzc
the acrs OF such a party. have understood
that Que member of the Legislature told anorh
or that he was opposed to turning oat those
faithful officers, but if lie purity so decided h,
would vote for it, ask hOv can any man
calling himself a freeman be a Democrat I IN
der such circumstances The fact is, he
must wear the collar and come at the bidding

In speaking of Messrs. Jackson and New
man, do not wish TO be understood as detract
ing from them, as gentlemen, but they cannot
be qualified to discharge the duties of these of
fees so " ell as those old and welltried men,
And now the question arises who will for the
next 5 or 30 years be the pet of the Legisla
ture in the place ofG. w. Munford E! There
are many hungry aspirants here eager for the
honors, and what disposition is to be made is
not known, hni my own opinion is that Mum
ford will hold his place until the adjournment.
More anon. Yours truly,
RECORDER.
