ABOLITION CHARrTY.-The proverb says
that charity begins at home. Abolitionism
reverses it. One of the murderers who met
deserved death at Harper's Ferry was Henry
Lehman. On his person was found letter
from his sister. disclosing a state of affairs in
his fathers household compared with which
the condition of the lowest negro is enyiable.
She tells him that during the whole winter
she has not made, and therefore has not had,
unless it was given, so much us fifty cents.
She speaks of a member of the family who
has what she calls rery good place." in
which she earns IS cents week. Another
letter from his aged and invalid mother tells
him that if she had mon'y to buy medicine
she could get well, hut that she - couldn't
raise dollar TO sane her life"
Having these real troubles, Henry Leh-
man comes to Virginia to alleviate the i'm
aginary sufferings of race freer from suffer
ing than any other in the world. And this
he would do against their wishes and at the
expense of crimes the most horrible. and
blOOdshed almost endless. If it were pos
sible, the stupidity of such charity exceeds
its criminality.- Richmond Wing

WILL THE HOTEL ENTERPRISE FAM?-We
are told that plans have been submitted to
the shareholders of the proposed new hotel,
involving a cost of S229 ,OOO;--of which sum,
one shareholder, the owner OF the hotel site,
agrees to furnish sI29 900. if the other share
holders will furnish $1,000 lending him
that amount, to aid in the erection Of the
building.
A disagreement is said TO have arisen be-
tween the one, representing the greater
amount of subscription and those represent
ing the 100000. about the plans. In the
meantime, the owner of the LOT, is prepared
with plans, &c, 10 begin the erection of n
fine block Of stores, should the other share
holders reject the plans submitted for the

Should this hotel enterprise fail, we think
they who defeat it should feel that they have

maybe its vitality.

The ReraLd's Washington correspondent
says. that though diplomatic rules and per-
haps prudential considerations prevent the
State Department from disclosing the exact
state OF affairs TO the public yet it is believed
that serious difficulties may and probably
will grow out of the dispute between the
United States and England in reference to
the Island of San Juan or Bellevue. in the
Straits OF Juan de Fuca. 1t is generally con-
ceded that Gen. Harvey was entirely right in
taking possession of the Island for the pro-
lection of United States citizens there, and
Tor the maintenance Of the rights of the coun-
try to the Island under the Pakenham treaty
of June 18th, 1916.
The President will submit the correspon-
dence to Congress at the opening of the
session and will ask for means, money, aud
men to enable him to defend the rights of
our country and uphold the honor of its flag
at all hazards and to the last extremity. The
correspondent also considers the return of
Mr.. Dallas before the holidays, or early in
the session of Congress, possible.

Of Old John Brown in carrying fire aud desc

from the Albany Erening Journal, of January
20, 1855, illustrates what he means by a
moral agency:
Brooklyn TAKING KANSAS STOCK-At n
meeting held in Henry Ward Beecher's
church last Wednesday evening, between
$50. 200 and $40. 600 of the stock OF the Kan
sas Emigrant Aid Society was subscribed i'm

T8- The telegraph announces that STE-
PHENs, enc of the Harper's Ferry conspira-
tors, has, on the suggestion of Gov. WISE.
been handed over to the Federal authorities
for trial in the Federal Court of the United
States. The object of this movement is, no
doubt. TO place the trial where SEWARD,
CHAsE. GERRTr SMITH, and others, who are
supposed to have been informed OF the plans
OF JoHN Brown, can be introduced as wit
nesses. IF these gentlemen court inyestiga-
tion they can now have it; at any rate, they
can. in the witness box, under OATH tell their
own stories, and il they had no information on
the subject, relieve themselves of the charge.
called, but refuse to testify, what then? If
the refusal be on the ground that they may
criminate themselves, the law will protect
them. But they cannot thus relieve them
selves from the infamy which attaches to
their names, as accessories before the fact to
the invasion of Virginia, and the murder Of
citizens. 1t would only add shade to it's
hue. If they refuse, peremptorily. TO testify,
they may be imprisoned for contempt. What
would be the effect of that? To increase the
excitement in the North, and embitter still
more the anti-slavery sentiment of that sec
ton. Looking to this, as a means Of strength
ening Republicanism in the contest of 1860
for the Presidency, the leaders of the party
would hold up the imprisonment of either,
under such circumstances, as an attack upon
individual liberty-an assault upon every
man in the North opposed to slavery. This
would be demagoguery-but none the less
effective for that. What but demagoguery
was the Republican party founded upon? 1t
is probable that the Republican leaders would
like for such a thing, as the Imprisonment Of
Mr.. SEWARD to occur, for the party capital it
would afford them. And the question arises,
"would it be good policy to give them the
benefit of weapon so effective!" "Let
justice be done. though the Heavens fall !" is
the martial response, in view of the Har-
per's Ferry murders. But we are proceeding
on a supposition merely. Let us hope that
the country will be spared further excitement
and agitation, and that good may yet result
from the raid of Old Brown, and the trials
which follow.

The Elections.

Elections were held Tuesday in the
States of New York, Massachusetts and New
Jersey. In New York it appears the Repub-
lican State ticket has been successful, certain
ly in part !; probably as whole Massacbu-
sets has reelected Gov. BANKS, aud deci-
ded republican majority in both branches of
the Legislature. We had expected nothing
OF Massachusetts,, bnt had thought il possible
the Utica ticket might be elected in the En-
pire State. In New Jersey the Opposition
candidate for Governor, an old line Wing
who supported Mr.. FILLMORE in 1856. has
been elected. The Senate is Opposition |;
House doubtful. What is to become OF De-
mocracy with all of the non-siavehoiding

Threatening and Appealing Letters
IOGOY. " Use.

The Governor of Virginia is in daily re-
ceipt Of a large number of letters from Abo-
litionsts in various States, threatening his
life, threatening an attempt to rescue Old
Brown, and threatening the renewal of like
attempts to those of Brown. if Governor Wise
does not pardon rhe miscrcant who has just
been convicted of his crimes. and who will
be put to the death he deserved as surely as
to-morrow's sun rises in heaven.
These letters speak of the increasing num-
her of the Abolilionists, OF their ability to
perform what they threaten, and of the
'murderous eye, to use the language of one
of them. with which they watch the progress
Of Browns trial. They wind up generally
with holding out 10 the Governor great popu-
larity at the North. if be will deal lencntly
with the criminals. From all quarters in the
Northern and Western States these letters
come; written in every variety of style and
penmanship; but all breathing threats Of res
cue or of veDgence, in case Brown aud his fol-
lowers are executed.
From some of the most Intelligent and re
specialize sources in the non slGveholding
States come letters full OF respect and cour-
tesy. some Of them evidently free FROM all
sinister motive or influence, invoking the
Governor TO pardon Brown. The ground Of
good feeling is urged as the reason ot their
recommendation Vd.) DSspdtch.
