Our dispatches on Saturday last
made mention merely of the following
resolutions as having passed the Legis-
lature ofrvirginia on Thursday last.
We subjoin the resolutions in full from
the Richmond papers of Friday, as fol-
lows: @ .tt.
Resolved, BY the General Assembly of
Virginia, That the people OF this Com
monweaith and their Representatives
here assembled, cordially approve the
course of policy pursued by Andrew
johnson, President of the United States,
in reference to the reconstruction ofthe
Union. We abide the issue of the late
contest. We do not desire to renew
what has been so conclusively deter
mined, nor do we mean to permit any
one subject to our control to attempt
| its renewal, or to violate any of our OBJ
| legations to the United States Govern
ment. In the wise, firm and just action
that Andrew johnson has commenced,
we must co operate with all the energy
and power which we can devote to what
is obviously the cause of liberty and re-
pose in all our borders. F}r
ReSOEred, That knowing as we do the
above declaration represents the uni
versal sentiment and purpose of our
people, we perform duty to ourselves
and to the people of Virginia, when we
denounce as cruel and criminal, as
saults upon our character and our in
terests, the efforts of those who promote
evil designs by representing our views
and intentions to be different from those
which we here assert. That we have in
our midst persons who find their inter-
est temporarily promoted by such "a
course OF misrepresentation, is one OF
the misfortunes of our present political
condition. To the Intelligence and the
integrity of those who rule the powers
of the United States government we
look for our safeguard and protection
against malign influences.
The above resolutions passed the
Senate, but were referred in the House
to the Judiciary Committee.
The Examiner, Enquirer, and all the
secession papers applaud them. Their
idea in doing so is perhaps identical
with the motive of those who got them
up and voted for them, and who imme-
diately thereafter turned in and elected
two rebel eolonels over the head of two
Union men to be superintendent and
doorkeeper at the Penitentiarys
Resolutions are mere wind, and count
for nothing along side OF such an cleo
ton. All the deeds of the Richmond
Legislature are at variance with any
such professions us are set forth in the
aboye resolutions. The country has no
faith in the men who thus belle their
own words, neither ought they to have.

SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1896.

The Democracy of Montgomery County
are hereby requested 20 assemble in Mnsk
Convention, at Beckcl Hall. In the City Of
Dayton, on SATURDAY, THE 18TH DAY
OF MAY, 1866. for the purpose of appoint
ing Delegates 20 attend the Annual State
Convention of the Democratic Party, TO be
held Ia Columbus, on THURSDAY, THE
2iTH DAY OF MAY, A. ID. 1866. to put 10
nomination Candidates for the several
State Offices TO be filed at the ensuing 0c-
tober election.
Montgomery County Is entitled to eleven
delegates, according 10 the basis of repre-
sentation.
The issues before the people are of the
most important character. Among these
may be mentioned the speedy restoration
of our Federal Union, with all the rights,
equality, and dignity of the States unim-
paired, but which is now unhappily pre-
vented by faction of vile demagogues and
malignant traitors, who seek to cover their
guilt under the euphonious title of Union
men and yet, by force of numbers, deny to
eleven States of this Union, the right OF
representation, thus adopting the spirit and
doctrine of disunion itself. They are seek
Ing to reduce these States TO mere depen-
dencles, to place their citizens In a state of
tutelage, and to exercise a tyranny over
them, in denying to them the right of self
government. NNrl
These high-handed usurpations need to
be heartily rebuked by the true patriots Of
the country, and the lovers of Union and
Constitutional liberty. From such a cen
tralized despotism, in the hands of fanat-
icai and powerful faction, no real liberty
no wise government, and no real union can
proceed, or bepreserved. Let every citizen
who is opposed to the schemes of these
conspirators, malignants and destructives
now in the so-called Congress of the United
States and who cherishes the institutions
of our fathers, the principles of true free
dom, the choice blessings of civil liberty I;
who appreciates the benefits and necessi-
ties of local State Government; who re-
veres the Constitution of his country, and
who is opposed to negro suffrage and equal
ity, and all the abuses of power which have
characterized the past five years of our ma
tional history, be in attendance.

Committee. Il. THOMPSON, Chm.

The Chamber of Commerce has mani

The Harmonic Society gave Concert at
the Melodeon, In Cincinnati, on Tuesday
evening last, and we learn from the papers
of that city that such was the anxiety TO be
present, that large number of people
were unable to gain admission. The Tines,
In speaking of the performance, says;
We will not enter into any critical anal
ysis of the concert, but were we to do so
we would find little TO censure In the rem
dering of the oratorio of "Elijah." Its
choral beauties were given, at times. with
startling sublimity and grandeur, while the
recitatiyes and arias seldom fell below
mediocrity, taking, as guage, the highest
standard of musical excellence
The second part of the programme,
which was quite varied, proved highly in
terestlng; and to close this notice without
a special allusion TO the delicious vocaliza-
ton of Mrs. Dexter, or the manner in
which the orchestra acquitted ITSELF would
be unjust.

"REMINISCENCES OF A DIsTINGUIsHED EDI-
ToR.-On the 11th day OF May, in the year
lS4l, died Thomas Barnes, the man under
whose control the London Times became
the leading daily paper in the world,
and acquired the sobrtquet of the "Thun-
derer." Barnes first attracted literary at
tention from series of critical essays, on
the English poets and novelists, which ap-
peared in a paper called the Champion,
After acquiring great deal of popularity
in the columns of the Champion, Barnes
timidly sent sprightly, skctchy letter to
the Times. The letter was accepted, and
Others Of like character followed, upon
men and things, events of the day, &c.
The manager of the Times afterward called
upon Barnes, and secured his services upon
the staff of that sheet, as reporter. Event
ually he rose to the position of editor. In
that role he wrote but few leaders; exert
ing his skill almost entirely in supervising
the work of others, in appointing subjects
for eminent writers, and in trimming their
productions.
Barnes was a very dissipated man; and
his death was probably hastencd by the
excesses Of his appetite. He was fifty-six
years Of age at the time of his death.
