DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS IN vIR.
GINIA.

The Richmond Enquirer Of the 9th, has the
following cheering remarks on the prospects
of the Democratic party in the approaching
Virginia election.
Every mail brings us the most cheering in
telligence of the healthy condition Of the De-
mocracy in all portions Of the State. We have
before us letters from intelligent citizens Of
Rockingham and Halifax-strong holds of De-
mocracy-which state that our party was never
more thoroughly aroused than they have been
by the sneaking, hypocritical and monstrous
movements Of the underground party, and that
our friends will do their whole duty. The
Dragging manifestoes of the Know-nothings
are estimated at their real worth, and the re-
cent developments Of the proscriptive and
tyrannous character of the Secret Organization,
are having powerful effect every where. Good
men and conservatives of all parties, are rapid
ly coming to the conclusion that our institu.
tons are In imminent DANGER if the midnight
plotters, who are avowedly in such intimate as
sociation with our worst enemies at the North,
should succeed in placing the destinies of the
State under the control Of q secret and irrespon-
sible Council, controlled by the North. The
eyes ofconservatives Of all parties, at the South,
are opened to tho mischievous workings OF the
Secret Order, and the tide Of opposition to the
most disgraceful and dangerous organization,
that ever stained the annals Of Virginia, is
rising in every quarter, to overwhelm the con.
sprators against popular rights"

ACTS OF THE LAST CONGRESS-.

We publish to-day list Of the acts of the
last Congress. 1t will, we doubt not be ac-
ceptable to our readers. In glancing over it,
we have been impressed with most favorable
opinion of the industry Of the thirty-third Con-
gress. Nor do the acts and measures really
adopted, afford the proper measure by which
to ascertain the industry of Legislative body.
1t oftentimes happens that more time is spent
in, and more good done by, the rejection,
than the adoption of measures, the defeat
than the enactment Of laws. Propositions that
are ultimately defeated, are frequently the
propositions that challenge the largest share Of
attention, and consume the greatest amount Of
time.
One great measure that stands out in bold
relief on the, now, historical record of the last
Congress is the Nebraska Kansas bill. Months
were spent, and not unproGtably spent, in its
discussion. 1t is well that, every now and then,
some great motion shall arise in our legisla-
tive assemblage that demands recurrence
to first principles-to the elements Of politics,
otherwise we would lose sight Of the teachings
of our fathers. Again it is well that when one
generation has done great wrong, either un-
der pressure, from fraud, or from choice, that
the succeeding generation should revise and
correct the record-should blot out the wrong
and give an honest judgment. Such was the
case in respect of the Nebraska bill.
We know that its opponents have pro-
nounced it a foul wrong, and q .'great iniquity."
We know that many faint-hearted and scary
politicians, who in the end, went for it, have
declared that its introduction was unfortunate.
They say that it revivi6ed abolition-vitalized
faction, and banded together all the unsound
parties and isms of the North.
For our part, we believe that it repaired a
great wrong, corrected great error, and rein
stated the present generation in the enjoy
ment Of rights, constitutional rights, which the
preceding generation deprived them Of
But without further comments, we invite at
tention to the list of acts of the last Con-
gress.

NOVEL MODE OF APPOINTING A
CADET.

The New York Herald thus speaks Of a new
and excellent mode Of appointing cadet for
the Military Academy by a law Of Congress
each member Of that body has the right, in no.
tation to nominate whom he chooses to fll a
vacancy, when il occurs in the Military Aca.
DENY at West Point. The Hon. Hiram Wal.
bridge lately exercised this right, and it seems
that he has adopted novel and popular method
Of complying with the acquisitions Of the law.
Instead Of comforting the appointment on one
of his friends or partisans, as is usually done,
he displayed a magnanimity beyond all previous
precedent, and gave it to that student in the
New York Free Academy whom his fellow
students might select. The students choose
Walter Mcfarland, Of the freshman class
a youth who has maintained high rank as a
scholar, though he has been obliged to give
private instruction to support himself and his
widowed mother. We understand that on the
recommendation Of Mr.. Walbridge the appoint
ment has been confirmed"

Chinese Secret Societies.


Eleven Cinnamon had been arrested at San
Francisco, charged with extorting money from
their countrymen. Mr.. Carvalho, the inter.
prefer, testified that there we're about eight
hundred members in that city; that their
avowed object was to assist in the overthrow of
the Man-Chow dynasty, or present Chinese
government; that each member had taken
bloody oath to carry out the design, even at the
cost Of their lives; and for its support were
levying contributions upon the weak and igno-
rant, enforcing their demands with threats of
instant death in case Of noncompliance. Mr..
c. remarked that the numerous murders Of
Cinnamon in the mines may, with justice, be
charged to one or the other Of their secret so
cieties. 1t is estimated that the annual reve-
nue. of the Hung-Shum-Thong Company, de-
rived by forced contributions in California,
amounts to upwards of one hundred and City
thousand dollars. There are between three
and four thousand members Of the order in
California.
