VIRGINIA IN A EaMRNT.

| Virginia is in a new ferment over Dir. Memmin.
| gers mission. This gentleman asked Virginia to
| call Convention of the Slave States to consider
| their circumstances, lately so much disturbed and
complicated by the ncurson of Capt. Brown. 1t
seems that Virginia is not unanimous on the subject
| by any manner of means. The question OF the
| Convention being up in the House of Delegates,
Mr. Hayward of Marion addressed the House in
the following terms:
81 think that live in Virginia. and have an interest
| in common with members from the West in this pro-
posed conference with South Carolina. understand
that the object of the proposed conference liz TO consult
about disunion and secession. This learn from he

CoDfeoeracy is the prime object OF this mission Sir,
represe part of the State iii the Congressional
District with the Pan Handle, it is called here that
| part Of the Stae of Virginia which, if civil war
| ever comes, will have to bear the brunt OF 1t.
| 1t is useless to talk of disunon and secession
| for the purpose Of forming Southern Confed-
| erscy without expecting war. Dissolution will be

may, the Ohio River and that part of the State
bordering upon the State of Pennsy anna, will be in
blaze of fire i'll thirty days after the Union snail be
dissolved. The Western people will have the frontier

tlemep seemed 10 CONCUR The debate has called
firth The denuncaton of TIL, Richmond Enquirer,
which informs its readers that there great danger
that the Convention will be prevented. At which
suggestion of its own, The Enquirer immediately
throws itself iuto an attitude, ard declares that
the fate of the Union s more invoked in the fate
"of this measure than in any ever deliberAed upon
"by legislative body" We presume THIS novel
and unusual suggestion will at once bring member,
TO their senses aud that they will hasten to vote for
the Convention.
Is il not farce aud bore that nothing can be
said, done, suggested or intimated in our politics,
either in State Legislatures in Congress, In public
debate, or in newspaper discussion, but some rous'
ing fool must project into everJbody's face the
eternal swDdlc that such measure, suggestion, lntl'
nation, or what not, involves the fate OF the Union!
The public stomach nsusestes at this perpetuaily
recurring gag. If Virginia wants Convention OF
the Slave States, Why doesn't sbe 60 about 1t IN
sensible manler7 Let bel debate the question on
both Sides and give the natural and proper reasons
for and against tue measure. Why commit the un-
speakable absurdty Of pretending that the salvation
OF the Union depends upon the decision OF the case
one way or the otber2 The politicians, in thus
running this question of Dissolution into the ground,
and under the ground, do but provoke universal
contempt for political discussion of all sorts.
Have not the people of Western Virginia per-
feet right and most excellent reason for saying
that they don't want their territory to be made the
theater of a contest between hostile forces! WY
undertake to answer their arguments By the stupid,
senseless cry that they are eDda0gering and dis
solving the UniOnl Besides, it Is needless folly.
We have no doubt that gentlemen opposing the
measure will, in tue end, all give way, aud
abandon their hostility to the proposed Conven-
ton. on the private and confidential information
which will be furnished them that the proposed
Convention is only part of the Presidential pro-
gramme, and that it must be held to prevent the
Republicans from carrying the election. When
they shall be apprsed of this solemn and mOmentous
fact, of course they will stand back aud let the
scheme be cousummated. The Enquirer thus EN-
ploys its useful bugaboo without reason, and un-
necessarily famillarizes the public mind with its
imaginary terOrs.
We trust these considerations may hereafter
have the proper weight with that print. Let it
take cur advice, aud not fire big charges at small
game. 1t is a shocking waste of ammunition.

The crazy plot of the wife-murderer Stephens 70
effect bis escape by killing his keepers has efectu-
ally sealed his DOOM 1t was thought that he might
have been reprieved BY the Governor yesterday;
but his friends, who had been moving IN his favor,
upon hearing of the detection of his desperate and
criminal resolve, teegrapbed t. the Executive, with
drawing all that they had advanced in his behalf
Those who before were inclined to believe hun as
pious as he professed to be, and doubted his guilt,
now look upon bis sentence as just. 1t does not
argue much for the discipline of the prison, how
ever may tend to exhibit the kindheared traits OF
the keepers that murderous weapons may be con-
veyed to prisoners without let or hinderance. No
doubt hereafter the friends of prisoners will Dc
compelled to submit to be searched before entering
the Tombs.
Stephens could have known very little Of the nature
of the undertaking which he had planned for HIM
self and Sanchez or else in his desperation he must
have become blinded to the obstacles in the way.
Surprising that he had succeeded in dashing out of
bis cell and Staying one or both OF the keepers on
the lower floor which is in itself quite improbable,
he would still have been subjected TO the fire OF the
keepers posted on the upper galleries which connect
the two corridors along each tier Of cells. Had be
and his companion succeeded in gaining the yard,
there would still have been the patrol, armed with
reyoyers to overcome, beside three or four terrible
mas,iifs, which are loosened at night. Having
whipped those by which time the whole prison
would have been aroused and the neighborhoOd
alarmed they would have to undertake the task OF
climbing the 3O-foot wall, cutting through the IRON
sheathed outer DOORS or saving through the heavy
bars of the Sessions windows, and the doors be-
yOnd. And then, had they effected either of these
improbabilties, and overcome these grim obstacles,
they would only have gained the street to fod the
prison surrounded by the reserve police of the
Sixth Precinct, from the adjoining station.

THE sPEAKERsHIP.
The Special Committee appointed by the Demo
cratic caucus last night commenced its abors early
this morning, hoping to effect combination by
which success might possibly be attained. Mr..
McClernand was nominated, principally to retain
Mr.. Riggs, who voted for him yesterday and TO
proplt to the Douglas interest through bis repre-
sentative man.
An immense cOncourse again assembled at the
Capitol in expectation of witnessing the closing
scene. When Mr.. Smith was informed of the &C
ton of the caucus, he withdrew as a candidate.
without referring to the Misrepresentation under
which he was supported
Mr.. Reagan then presented Mr.. McCernand with
lame recommendation.
Mr.. Hill of Georgia Immediately notified the
House that his American friends had not been con.
suited, and he could not support Popular Sover-
eighty man.
Mr.. Etheridge followed with a most damaging
commentary upon the conflicting views OF the
Democracy and ihe position of Mr.. Douglas and
his friends, adOity referring to the agony OF the
Western Democracy in supporting Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Reagan attempted to break the force of these
suggestions, and Mr.. Millson came to the rescue

Dir. Vallandgham protested that his vote for Mr.

that engineer knew that {" the train ahead Of bin
{" was running with an imperfect engn,"
So then it leaks out here, incidentally, that the
employees on the Hudson River Road knew that
trains were being run with an imperfect engine"
We should like to know whose fault this is Hero
in this fact, revealed apparently BY accident comes
out the real cause of the disaster, which the Coro
ners Jury bad managed to conceal or to overlook,
until the very last words of the verdict were
uttered and then let out as it were BY

ayers. themselves, then, who are the real
offenders in this case. 1t is the gentlemen who
have chosen to run an " imperfect engine" on their
track, knowing it to be SUCH who should rightfully
bear all the blame of this dreadful disaster We
say. knowing it to be such, for if . was fact 30
notorious, as the Coroners Jury plainly consider IT.
then the managers Of the road knew it as matter
ofcoure. In spite of the Coroners Jury, then,
we have got at the essential truth OF the case, and
can fix the responsibility where it belongs. For
the act of running an imperfect engine" on road
Ike the Hudson River Road there can be no eI-
cuse The culpabllty of it is self-eyldent. It's
no less than wanton trihing with the lives OF iss
passengers; and considering the slaughter that has
resulted, we see no reason why the managers arc
not amenabe to a criminal prosecution.

Some Of the hypercritics are trying to draw con-
ISOLATION from the fact that the Republicans declared
their determinations stick to Sherman for Speaker
Such was their purpose, and they executed it right
maDfully, in despite of all attempts to drive them
from their position. They lever fncbed nor fall.
tered, nor broke their ranks. The Republicans
voted for him solid phalanx until he himself rose
in his place and withdrew his name as candidate.
This be did in view Of the fact that by the captua-
ton of the Democrats and Dsunonists TO the South
Americans he had ceased to have plurality Of the
votes cast. At this point, for the Republicans to
insist on the use of his name any longer, was to
court defeat. AS this was not their object, but
success rather, they adopted the only course LETT
open to defeat their adyersares. 1t is no wonder
those adyersaries lament the change and complain
of it. These complaints are very natural, bet if
they can derive consolation from the event in ques
ton, all We can say is, they are satisfied with
homeopathic dose of that blessing
