REV. J. D. MccABEs GRAFTON.

On Thursday night Mechanics Hall present
cd brilliant and most interesting scene. At an
early hour large audience assembled, and at half
past eight the Masons and Knights Templar,
with their gorgeous regalia, entered the Hall,
to the inspiring music Of the Armory Band.
After some patriotic airs, Governor Wise, in a
brief address, full of chaste beauty and striking
thoughts, introduced the orator, the Rev. j. D..
McCabe Of Baltimore. For about an hour the
eloquent speaker engaged the delighted atten-
ton Of his audience by searching and mas
terly review Of the Masonic character Of Wash
ington, whose virtues reflected the brightest
honors on the Craft of which he was an
early, consistent and most faithful member.
Many of the brilliant passages of the oratlon--
particularly the reference to the youthful La
fayettc and to his intimate alliance with Wash
ington, Masonic and otherwise-were received
with enthusiastic applause. The occasion was
one Of deep interest, and, we trust, will help to
add to the Mount Vernon Fund, for whose be.
neiit it was intended.

MIR. EvERErTs GRAFTON ON FRANKLIN.

a large audience assembled at the Mocha
MICS Institute. on Friday evening last, to listen
to an orator who is about the only one we
know who never fails to draw crowd, and
never fails to delight them when assembled
His Franklin" differs from his washington"
in tone and general features, just as the two
great men differ one from the other. But we
should hardly venture to call the discourse on
"Frank.in" production inferior to the cuogy
on "Washington." Indeed, the former con-
tains bursts of electrifying eloquence that
almost surpass the most stirring passages Of
the Washington" The powerful, yet poetic,
description of the birth Of Franklin, reused
the audience to high pitch Of enthusiasm
The whole discourse abounded with interesting
facts, unfamiliar to most persons, and present
ed strong pictures of human life dashed upon
the canvas with masters bodness and con-
summatc skill-the interest throughout was
unAaggingly sustained.
The allusion to Franklin's contributions to
periodicals, which were the "Ledgers" Of those
days, brought smile to every face, and called
forth spontaneous round Of applause that un'
mistakably said, lit is we'll that an Everett
should do in these days what Franklin did in
those" The passing hit was particularly fell
citous, and an expression Of suppressed mlrth,
fickering about the orators lips betrayed that
it was intended to elicit just that evidence OF
approval of the labors Of his pen.
We congratulate our fellow-citizens upon the
onportunity Which has been allowed them OF
listening to this noble orator. Mr.. W. II. Mac
farland was very happy in his brief but feel

RICHARD G. BANKS, ESQ.

The time is fast approaching when it will de-
volye upon the citizens Of Norfolk county to
select man to represent them in the councils
OF the State; and permit me, through the CO.
lumns Of your valuable journal, to call their
attention to the gentleman whose name heads
this article, as one in every way qualified tor
the position. ,.
The county of Norfolk is one Of the largest
in the State, and is intersected by two large
canals and railroad. The progress oil one
and completion of the others will be greatly
by the Legislature. Mr. Banks is just the man
to represent this peculiar interest, and we are
con(ident if the Convention deem it expedient
TO make him their nominee, that it would be a
source of infinite qualification to major por.
ton of the county.
With such men as Col. j. W. Lewis for the
Senate. and R G. Banks, Jr., for the House Of
Delegates. success will attend the Democratic
party as sure as night follows day.

TIE CHARTER ELECTIONS IN RICHxoND

The exciting contest closed at sun-down last
evening, in Monroe Ward, where, perhaps
never, on any similar occasion previously, has
so heavy a vote been pollcd as theprcsent amid
the best possible order Yet the issue shows
that, though Opposition" proposes right
principle disposes; and the never-say-die Dc
mocracy, when reused, will be found up and
stirring. This civic election, in its issue, tends
to be the index Of a very poor show for Goggin
& Co. in Richmond. Our party made no nom.
nations for the contest; yet, when two Demo.
Gratis undertook to run for the two most i'm
portant Offices, against two of the carefully
selected and cherished pets of the Opposition s
sweeping ticket" those two Democrats have
been gloriously victorious.
For the office Of grain measurer, Mr. Henry
Davis, Democrat beat the "well.beloved" the
Opposition. Mr.. H. Myers, with majority Of
ia! But, to obtain the Office OF Superinten-
dant Of Gas Works seemed to be the grand test
The figures last evening, at the close Of the
polls, announced Mr.. Daniel Hagcrty, Demo
crat, as being t,ccnty:fre ahead Of the Opposi.
tons greatest Of pets, Mr.. John j. Fry, with
"the position that the whole Fry family have
sustained in the history of the Wing party,
emblazoned on his escutcheon, and heraldcd
through the city by little Gibraltar" :"
Verify, the Opposition" Individually or
collectively has or have been importing upon
their disciples, like the veilcd Mokanna did ol
yore on his too crcdulous followers The ad
ventures of Goggn & Co., will convince our
readers of our foresight Of coming events that
cast their shadows before.

ECONOMY.

For many days back, the Richmond "Whig'
has been parading what it is pleased 10 term
Democratic cxtravagancc, wasteful expendi.
tnrc of the public money, &C. Now this, com.
ing from party that cannot take care Of its
own money, is truly ridiculous. This "Opposi-
ton party has very recently been squandering
hundreds of dollars in the printing and pay
ing of postage on thousands ofther documents
for circulation in Virginia, expecting, by these
means, to influence intelligent Democrats
Was there ever such silly extravaganza? and
will the people entrust with public funds, q
party that makes such bad use of their own
private property We think not. The "Opposi-
ton" should learn to take little better care at
least of their own money before asking to be
entrusted with that belonging to other people.
