The Democracy OF virginia.

The voice of the late Democratic convention is
uttered in the following pronuncamento
RESOLUTIONS. Democratic republicans Of
Virginia, in convention assembled, following the
time-honored usage in declaring the principles
which bind them together as party, do resolve /:
l. That the true relations between the States
and the federal government, and the true rules
for the construction Of the constitution arc cor
rectly set forth in the resolutions and report of
1898 and 90 Of the general assembly of Virginia,
and the doctrines therein expounded are hereby
adopted and rcaffirmed.
>. That Congress has no power to appropriate,
directly or indirectly the proceeds of the sales Of
the public lands, or to grant, directly or ind-
rectly, the public lands to the purposes of inter-
nal improvement
3. That specific duties taxing, as they do the
low-priced necessaries Of the poor rs heavily as
the costly luxuries Of the rich, arc UNEQUAL UNI
just and odious; that duties designed for protec-
ton foster one branch of industry, and cherish
one section of the country at the expense Of
others, and are utterly inconsistent with Justice,
sound policy, and Democratic principles and
that we are opposed to any increase Of the duties
on imports, especially on articles Of general and
necessary consumption, such as iron coal, sugar,
SALT and coarse cottons.
A. That the federal government ought to adj
here in its foreign policy to the maxims ncul-
Gated by the Father OF his Country, and by the
Father Of Democracy.
5. That we reaflirm the resolutions of the Bal
timore conventions Of 1874 and lS4S, as far as
applicable to the present condition Of the coun-
try.
g. That we recommend to the Democracy OF
the several Congressional districts, to send each
not more than four delegates to the Baltimore
Convention.
Z. That we approve Of the mode of voting here
tofore pursued by the Virginia delegates in the
Baltimore Conventions and recommend that they
continue the rule of casting the vote Of the whole
State by majority Of the districts
8. That the vote Of the State in the Baltimore
Convention ought to be given for such candidate
as will command the greatest strength in the
Democratic party throughout the Union, and
whose principles are known to conform most
strictly to the cardinal tenets of the Democratic
Republican faith

Memorials OF the Past.

1t is stated in late foreign papers that recent
excavations in the Villa Vicarello, near Rome,
revealed fragments of columns and other ruins,
apparently of the age of Hadrian and Father
march,, the illustrious Roman Archeologist, well
known for his works upon the Catacombs, inves-
tigated the matter, and by diligent working
brought to light, among the ruins of bath,
great quantities of old Roman coins of every
epoch. There are also bronze medals among
them, and three very richly-chased silver goblets,
in the form of old military columns. The in
scriptions upon two of these vases are well pre-
served, but those of the other are much effaced.
The characters seem to indicate the second cen
fury of our era.

sob that Mine Enemy would Write a
RaaLU

1t Is presumed by some, perhaps too partial
friends, that after devoting some forty-odd years
to the service of his country, General Winfield
Scott might be considered tolerably well known,
especially to some of his near neighbors; and
being a man of ardent temperament and great
frankness Of speech, it has been thought that
his views some subjects of public interest
might possibly have been communicated at least
to some of his friends. This too has been deemed
the more probable, when 1t is reflected that being
educated in the laws of his country, and admitted
as legal practitioner thereof and having all his
life given close attention to its legislation and
diplomacy, his sound views and accurate infor-
nation have very often been received and priced
as of great value by the ablest statesmen who
have ever graced our Capitol
But it appears that who Gen. Scott is, and
what Gen. Scott thinks, have suddenly become
questions involved in the profoundest doubt in
the minds of quite a number of Wing and Demo
cratic politicians. 1t is said by some one that
these people are unable to find much fault with
what is known of the General, or they would not
SO eagerly press upon his attention the necessity
of some new revelation But of course this is
the notion of some partisan of the Generals
There are Wing journals in the land sus-
pected Of having present motives of no unselfsh
character for opposing Gen. Scott with severity
and bitterness, these journals being favorable to,
and in favor with, the gentlemen now controlling
the patronage of the government. But they have
forgotten something of which it may be well to
remind them. 1t is, that the Washington Repub
Tic, which stands at the head of the Fillmore wing
of the Wing party in the United States, but whose
editors are above the influence Of sinister mo-
tives, and equally above disappearing the
views Of rival of their own first choice in the
Wing ranks, have themselves ably and eloquently
indicated General Scott from the accusation of
Indifference to the measures Of the Compromise,
and declared that his earnest and Jealous per-
sonal influence was exerted in behalf of all of
them.

DIR. Hebbe,s Lectures at Carusi,s.

We would call the attention of our city readers
to the lectures to be given at Carusi's Saloon,
commencing this evening, by G. E. Hebbe, LID.
A writer in the Intelligencer remarks that " Dr.
II. is well known to many of our citizens as an
accomplished gentleman, finished scholar, and
every way qualified by thorough education, ex-
tensivc travels through Europe, and eminent abil-
ity, to make such course interesting and instruc-
tive lie is native of Sweden, but has spent
much time in this country, and is well acquainted
with our institutions and language" We hope
he may be greeted by full house.

Clerks.

There are about one thousand persons employed
as clerks under the United States government In
the city of Washington, every one OF whom should
be..a man of education, skill, industry and good
character. There is responsibility connected
with the duties of every one of them, and the
interests of the government may be measurably
promoted or prejudiced by each
Ordinarily the position of clerk in this coun-
try is but one of probation. He labors with the
hope of obtaining preferment, and hence he la
bors for but small remuneration. In most of
the pursuits, mercantile and others, they who
conduct business have generally in past times
occupied the places of subalterns. 1t is accord
ingly but seldom that we find an elderly man in
this position; and when we do, if we inquire
into his history, we almost invariably learn that
he has returned to it after a failure in business
on his own account. We need not, therefore,
wonder that the compensation of a clerk is small
Added to this, may be mentioned the fact that
the duties of clerk in almost every commercial
or industrial establishment are Of routine char
| acter and that, although they may require edu-
cation intelligence, and skill, they are still such
as very young or a very old man may perform
| Where exceptions to this rule are found, excep-
tons to the ordinary standard of compensation
exist also.
In the service of the government the case is
different. Experience, judgment, discrimination,
and some peculiar excellence, are almost always
demanded; the prospect of promotion is gerry dis
tant character and standing in society are i'm
portant, or at least very desirable; while other
means of supporting and providing for family
are not even remotely in prospect.
1t is true that many eager applicants for place
are always pressing suit before the appointing
power; but it is equally true that the majority
Of such applicants only hope to be competent to
the duties to which they aspire, after they shall
haze gone through puplage IN office and under pay;
and it not unfrequently happens that these men,
after becoming acquainted with the affairs of an
Office, either retire to make use of such informa-
ton for their own advantage in certain other
pursuits, or are turned out to give place to the
friends of new occupant of the Office of appoint
ment.
In opinion there is much room for improve
ment in these things; and it is with lively plea
sure we observe that some of the best and ablest
men in Congress have manifested willingness
to move in the matter.
We shall take an early opportunity to recitc
the reforms that we believe are needed with ref
erence to this subject.
