stopped over Thy couldn't contain
themselves. They talked as though the
war was concluded, our domestic affairs
on solid footing. our debts paid off and
the nation ready to settle accounts with
the rest OF the world. They deGed

1t is fortunate, perhaps, for our future
welfare that these sort of people are under
sloud abroad as thoroughly as at home,
and about the same estimate placed upon
their value. On oc,ssion they blaze up

respect The occupants of lucrative posi-.
tions, in no danger of smelling gunpow-
der, may be in the humor of turning a

be fussly demonstratiye over the accom-

promoted, and, perhaps, not retarded; Dot
they would exhibit themselves to better

Inauguration Of Genl. Lee.

at the opening of the session on Monday
cd instanD the Board of Trustees, Faculty
and Students of Washington College assem-
bled at the appointed hour to witness the in
auguration of Gen. Robert &. Lee. Moth
ing could surpass the simplicity of the cere.
monies on the occasion.
The Hon. Jno w. Aockenbrough, Rector,
called the meeting to order. Col. James K.
Edmondson, Secretary of the Board, called
the roll, and the Rector announced that quo
rum was in attendance Rev. William S.
White, D. d, Pastor of the Lexington
Presbyterian Church, was to make the intro-
ductory prayer, which he did in the most ap-
propriate style.
After few remarks from the Rector, he
stated the object of the meeting, namely, the
Inauguration of the President elect. This
consisted in simple administration Of the
"oath of Office which was done by William
White, Esq, Justice of the Rockbridge Coun-
ty Court The Board then adjourned, and
the Faculty proceeded at once to the organi-
cation of classes and other preparations for
thss regular business Of the Institution.
AT General Lees request the ceremonies
of the occasion were made as private, as brief,
and as uncstentatioas, as possible lea.

INSPECTOR of Spirits.

Mr.. Harvey Risk, who has been living for
the past three years at Fairfield, Rockbridge
county, has again become citizen of Staun-
ton. He has received the appointment of
Inspector of Spirits for the End Collection
District embracing territory of thirty odd
counties. We consider this good appoint
ment, as Mr.. Risk is man of good charac-
ter, who will faithfully attend to the duties
of his office No spirits can be sold before it
is inspected, and it must be assessed before
it can be inspected. We apprehend that
there will be some thirsty Hsuchers" before
the spirits will be allowed to be sold.

SPECTATOR.
Fire Company.

We would call the attention of the citizens
of our town to the importance Of having the
fire engines, reels and hose in proper condi-
ton for use, for we cannot tell at what mo-
ment the startling cry OF fire fire may be
heard. AS the soldiers under the command
OF Gen. Hunter knocked the spokes out of
the wheels of the reels, and punctured the
hose with bayonets, they are now useless in
their present state, and it is necessary to buy
new ones. We know that the efficient Fire
Company which we had before the war, and
indeed, during the war, will rcorganze and
prepare to do their duties, as soon as these
indispensable things can be procured The
citizens of the town should furnish the means
to buy them as soon as possible. A week S
delay may cause the loss of a great deal of
valuable property. Put not off till to-mor-
row what should be done to day In the alb
sence of the proper precautions and prepara-
tons, spark may originate a fire which
might make the town a scene of shoulder
ing ruins. "Behold what great matter a
little fire kindleth." If prompt action be
not taken, we may have occasion 70 exclaim
"Behold what great calamity little neglect
causeth." We desire to see a good Fire
Company organized, with all the requisites to
make it serviceable furnished to it. Men Of
property, furnish the means. Don't delay.

From the Rockingham Register.
KEEzLETowN, Rockingham CO., Va,

MEssRs EDITORS. reading the Register Of
Sept. 22d, | find published therein Resolutions
purporting to have been passed by an Annual
Conference of the Church Of the United Brethren
in Christ, which should have been General Con-
ferance which met at Western, Iowa, May ii tn,
1865 In the vote on the resolutions by the Bish-
ops, the name of Kumbler should appear instead
of that Of Rummels The vote of the Virginia
delegates was recorded against the resolutions
until they came up their final passage, with
Shuey's amendment, when they (the Va. delegates
were silent. The amendment was not offered,
las many of your readers suppose, by Rev. Geo.
A. Shuey, Of Augusta CO., Va, who was not a
delegate to this conference, but by Rev. VIM. }.
Shuey, Of Dayton, Ohio.
Having been an official member Of the Church
Of the United Brethren in Christ for twelve years,
it is due the intelligent portion Of the Church IN
the Valley of Virginia, to say that they lndlg-
nantly and emphatically repudiate those resolu-
tons and are utterly opposed to negro suffrage
and negro equality, and unless the Va. Annual
Conference Of the Church takes speedy action on
the subject and repudiates the offensive doctrines
contained in those resolutions, very many of the
church members will seek connection in other
branches of the Christian Church. former

Stuart and Lewis in Oh arlottesville.

SGudGG dAu LGWlS III III cl1 IuttCo vA140.
Hon. Alex. Fl. II. Stuart addressed the people
of Albemarle at Charlottesville on Monday week,
in opposition to the sstest OATH He argued that
the President in appointing the Governors of
the Southern States, had showed that he regard ed
the oath as improper and unconstitutional. He
also argued that no man can conscentiously vote
for who viii take the oath, if the voter be-
lieves such an oath is unconstitutional, and has
sworn to uphold the constitution Of the United
States. He did not believe that the Republican
party would insist on the imposition of the OATH
Congress would not stultify itself, as had been
urged by repeating the oath, because the oircum-
stances had changed since the oath was passed Mr.
Stuart said that if elected, he would make a con-
stuti0nal argument against the oath-and that the
Republican party would not dare to go before the
country on such an issue. He argued that we
should stand up for our constitutional rights,
and stand up for our equality.
Tx was replied to by his opponent, Mr.. John f,
Lewis, the E'test oath" candidate. He said he
would not be drawn into the constitutional argu-
ment, and that it was simply question whether
the people would be represented in Congress
and have the obnoxious oath repealed or
do without representation and have the oath
remain. But we believe with Mr.. Stuart
that the only way to have the test oath re
pealed is to send men to Congress who won't take
it. and who have the ability to contest it's justice
and constitutionality before the country. Other
wise there will be no occasion to contest the ques
ton, and no motive to do so, and it will remain a
law upon as long as we send men there willing
to subscribe to it.
But if this view of the question is wrong, we
really do not see how Mr. Lewis stands in much
better position than Mr.. Stuart, for he is report
ed by the Chronicle to have said in his speech
that he chad been Union man during the war,
&c but had been IN sympathy ecdh the Southern peo-
'tp1c from the beginning," and had fed as many
Southern soldiers as Mr.. Stuart. If this be SO,
how he swear that he has given no said or
countenance" to any ''persons" engaged in the
late war, the ''test oath'' requires him to do
We should think that he would be compelled to
do so with good many smental reservations, y
unless his sympathy was of a very queer sort,
