Is many parts of the south there ap-
pears to be remarkable energy dis
played in the Reconstruction" of their
commercial relations. This is particu-
larly evident in repairing the railroads,
which were so broken up in the war.
The readiness with which contracts
have been made for labor and material,
shows that the credit of the railroad
companies is good, and that full reli-
ance is placed in their ability to MAIN
tain a profitable business. In other
departments, similar activity is OBJ
servable, and many of those who, under
the old system, have regarded labor us
dishonOrable, and laziness as the fun
damental characteristic of a gentleman,
seem to be animated by the spirit of the
Richmond F. F. ", who made the aw.
full threat, that he would have some
money, even if he were driven to work
for it! Let this spirit prevail and the
south will soon have reason to be thank.
full that slavery is abolished.

HorPer's Weekly, paper that had
decided leanings toward democracy be-
fore the rebellion took place, speaks
thus harshly but truthrully of the party
which stlI claims to bear the name
1t says: -
The national prestige of the Demo-
CRITIC name is gone. The name of
Democracy is indissolubly associated
with WITH treason, rebellion, and civil war.
Under Democratic ascendency the con.
Splracy was conceived and matured.
Under a Democratic Administration it
Elpened. By Democratic chiefs Il was
directed. By Democratic politicians Il
was defended and excused. Bya Dem
ocratic Convention 1t was declared tri-
umphant. By Democratic organs and
orators, as far as they dare, the theories
still justified. The Democratic hort,

THE Mexican news is not worth print
ing, much less telegraphing. The de
tails give no information to the general
reader, and there is little reliance to be
placed on any of it. One day we have
a story that the Liberals are driven into
the sea, and the next day comes re-
port that they are rising all over the
country, and that Mnximilian is think
ing of leaving. But while no confidence
is due to the stories, on the one side or
the other, we may rest on general prin-
cipIes, and every reliance may be
placed in the uniform character of the
Mexican people, who have never sub
mitted to any sort of rule, good or bad,
fairly inaugurated or imposed by fraud
or force. The turbulent people of that
unhappy country will never submit to
the intrusive government of Maximil-
ian, as they have never submitted to a
government of their own election. So
long as France consents to uphold his
throne, at heavy cost, and with little
benefit to herself, so long will it re-
main, and no longer. Meantime, we
quence to the United States whether
the insurgent portion of the Mexican
population, which includes about two
thirds of the whole, are revolving
against a foreign usurper or domestic
one. If any stable form of govern
ment could be established in Mexico,
of almost any character, so that it pro-
tected the rights of property and per-
son, it would be of much benefit to us.
We should of course prefer republic
can rule, and all the sympathies of the
country are now with Juarez; but any
kind of government that the Mexicans
would agree to, would be an improve
ment upon the condition of chronic
revolution that has SO long prevailed
there. f.

A VnIunble AcouI,I,IoD.

SHORTLY after the breaking out OF
the war, the late Judge FEy4was ape
pointed clerk to the Western Court of
Appeals that met at Lewisburg, Green
hrier county. When hostilities became
warm in the vicinity of Lewisburg,' and
the Court suspended its sessions he
boxed up the law library used by them,
consisting of some five thousand five
hundred volumes, and had them sent
to Fincastle, BotetOurt county, a re-
mote and unexpOsed place, thirteen
miles distant from Bonsack's Station,
on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad.
About four weeks ago Mr.. Henry NJ.
Matthews, son-in-law of Judge Fry,
wrote to Gov. Foreman in relation to
the library, requesting him, If the State
desired to possess it, to send and secure
it, not mentioning, however, where it
was stored. Accordingly the Gov
ernor dispatched Mr.. Sylvanus w. Hall,
clerk ofthe Court of Appeals, in search
of the library. Going first to Charles
ton, Kanawha county, he took with
him from there to Lewisburg a number
of government teams, expecting to find
the library at the latter place, or in the
vicinity, and haul it back to Charleston.
In this, however, he was mistaken, and
so dismissing the teams and sending
them back to Charleston, he pushed on
over the toughest sort of mountain
roads, in theroughestsort of an apology
for buggy, to Finclstle, and there
found the library nicely and carefully
boxed up and housed in store room,
where it had been for three years.
He forthwith shipped it on wagons to
the railroad station, and from thence
via Lynchburg, Gordonsville and Alex
andria, to Washington, and from thence
here to Wheeling.
The books are of n very choice and
valuable character, and are estimated
to he worth between thirty and forty
thousand dollars. They will save, in
all probability, that amount of outlay
to the State in the purchase of a library
for the use of the Court of Appeals.
Mr.. Hall deserves credit for the energy
and success with which he executed his
mission. The thanks of all interested
are also due Mr.. Matthews for the in
formation given by him to the Cover
nor, and also for the interest he took i'll
promoting the success of Mr.. Halls
trip. Col. Joel Mcpherson, Clerkof the
Circuit Court of Greenbrier and County
Recorder, also took IA very decided part
in aiding Mr.. Hall. The Colonel,
through the war, adhered all the time
to the Union cause
