The Election OF .. 8. Senators toe
nRv.


To-day the election for Q. 8, Senators,
by our Legislature, takes place. We hope
for uuanimity aud good result. We have
already expressed our opinion rs to one Of
the candidates Who will be voted for, viz !:
the Hon. John 8. Carlile, and We believe
that 10 what we said, We but expressed the
heavy mass Of public opinion represented
In the Legislature.
Can any man givea good reason why Mr..
CarliIe should not be elected? II it is an
honor, be is entitled to it. II 1t is posi-
ton of profit, he is entitled to 1t. fiji
a place OF work and responsibility, he iS
capable and fitted for IT, He has expert
snee, ability, aud enjoys the influence and
confidence Of the Government at Washing
ton, equal to, If not beyond any man in
Western Virginia. Where is the man who
has done 20 much in the movement now so
far along on its successful accomplishment
in orr midst, as Mr.. Cariile7 He has led
the van. BE and his patriotic friends Of
Harrison, called the Convention in that
county, which, in turn, called the Wheel
ing Convention of the 18Th of May, which,
again, in its turn, called the Convention Of
the llth Of June, and this latter Convention
called into being the present State govern
meut. Mr. carIile has been a leader-a bold
and persegeringo one. When all was black and
dark as night he moved FOR Western vir-
Rinia's rescue from ecessiOn-and through
all the contest SO faras passed he has contin-
ued to work heroicai!r and indefatigably.
His Uuionism is not thing OF to-day
neither is it II qualified kind-sOmething
to be put off or on according as the scale
or the beam goes up or down. His bag
gage, as the dead Senator from Illinois
once 6tly said, "is checked clear
through" and come veal or voc he will
be found standing by the colors.
Ifnny other public man among Us can
present equal claims we don't know it
neither do the people. He is emphatieally
a representative man in this movement,
and the world inside and outside of Lis
aequaintanceship so recognize him. If
such man is to be overslaughed, then NIL
premium upon patriotic boldness, energy
and ability is set aside, and he is to stand
forth another proof Of the Lesson of history
that pioneers labor and their successors
enter into their rest"

!lsssrs. Editors: Had not the affected
patriotism of demagogues, to great eS-
tent, nsurped the place of the genuine, n
few tories would not have dared to lift
their hands against the noble fabric OF our
fathers.
The uprising of the loyal States against
rebellion has given evidence that true love
of country was only sIerping-not dead.
But further evidence of reviving patri-
otism will be looked for in universal,
hearty and spirited celebration of the ma
tion's birthday. And as Western Virgin
ia is now the observed of ali observers y
hope we shall be d6Ie 10 give 1t good ac-
count of ourselves.
The observance of the day here was in
every way creditnbIe. At few minutes
before ten o'clock, the procession formed
and marched to pleasant grove II short
distance from town. \ table, rostrnn,
and seats had been prepared Oh the previ-
Gus day. The exercises were commenced
with the singing of national hymn, fol-
lowed by prayer. The Declaration of In
dependence was read, patriotic songs were
sung at suitable intervals, snd appropriate
aud animated addresses were Delivered
4 sumptuous dinner was prepared By the
ladies, aud although ut FIRST only intended
for Capt. Fry's company, which has heen
stationed here for two or three weeks,
such was the abundance of good things
that all, believe, were served.
The reading of toasts, salured by Capt.
Fry's company and Il miniature cannon.
together with cheers for the ladies and
others, closed the exercises OF the day.
Good order and good feeling prevailed,
and all returned to their homes well pleas
ed with themselves and their country.
For the e Tod order of the day, doubt
less mach was owing to the fact that the
drinking places were generally, if not eu-
tirely, closed. \.

NEW ORLEANS CITY Is BAxKRuPT. AT a
meeting of the Board of Alderman, on tho
18th of June, the Chairman of the Finance
Committee stated TO the Board that the
"city was dead broke, and that he could
not see financial daylight" Another AL
derman, heavy holder of real estate, re-
signed bis seat, and the Finance Commit
tee reported resolution to suspend all
new public works, in order SO far TO re-
lieve the poverty of the city. The Delta
admitting and sadly remarking on the
bankruptcy, OF New Orleans, says in tone
OF great anxiety, that ga large number of
tax payers are utterly destitute of the
means necessary to pay taxes on their small
property" aud that unless long induigea,
they must allow their homesteads to pass
under the hammer of the sheriff" The
DsltG thinks this beggared condition of
the city, "when little over four months of
the year have passed" isowiug to its heavy
Oullays for military movements for Seces-
sion. But New Orleans was very wealthy,
and these expenses could net have swamp
ed it so wretchedly. The cause of her
pauperism iS the bare fact of Secession
itself-a step which chained up and de-
stroyed her trade; and that trade and that
credit cannot be restored till the Union
flag shall wave again over her Custom
