These Stirring Times

In the presence Of the important political
events Transporting at Washington, the eager
ness of the public mind is almost painful. We
feel that speculation and conjecture are profit
less. Great causes are at work which, 1t is to
be presumed, will speedily produce great re-
sults-the disintegration Of a dangerous party,
or it's confirmation and re-establishment on a
6rmer foundation, and the construction Of a
new party out Of all the scattered conservative
elements in the country. President JOHNSON
furnishes a platform wide enough for all patri-
otto Constitution and law-abiding citizens to
assemble upon. The battle between him and
the Radicals is fairly joined. His first gun
was a SUMMERTIME veto of the bin extending
the Freedman's Bureau. The Radicals in the
Senate could not muster sufficient strength to
pass it over the veto. OF course, they are
excited, exasperated, furious with rage. Mr..
WADE took his revenge by proposing a conSti-
tutional amendment which, if passed, would
render Mr.. JOHNSON ineligible for a second
term. Mr.. TRUNBULL vented his spleen by in-
sisting upon a motion to clear the galleries.
Mr.. SUMSER-what he did is not stated. He
was, perhaps, too full for utterance. The
Cabinet, it is supposed by many, viii be
shattered, by what THADDEUs STEVENS called
fNis % earthquake"
Daily Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1865-1869, 1866-02-23

send these ignorant creatures TO the polls, when
a ginger-cake or a pint OF whiskey would buy as
many votes as the most corrupt politician
would ask. The Southern people have always
been a moral, christian and humane people, and
they will elevate the negro as fast as the safety
and prophecies of society and the capacity Of
the negro will admit Of 1T.
Our conclusion, upon the whole, is that there
is strong reason to believe that the fanaticism
Of the North will soon eiervesce-that 1t VIII
vanish before an enlightened view Of their own
interest, and a truer appreciation OF the South
ern character. And their would-be leaders ana
masters, who have more of the knavery OF am
bition than the folly Of fanaticism, will not be
able to carry on this revolution alone. Even
when the times are fitted for it, and the people
are reused by the prOaigacy and tyranny OF
corrupt courts, il takes the talents of a ROBES
PIERRE or Cromwell to effect a great reyolu-
ton. But men whose genius scarcely scars
above the level Of a WAT TYLER, or a HOB
CARTER, will scarcely be able to subvert the
Constitution and destroy the liberties of the
South, against the interests and the wishes oil
the unaggrieved masses Of the North.

Turner Ashby.

The New York World, Of the 10th instant,
contains a graphic and interesting sketch OF
General AsHBY-the Partisan" by al. E.
CT. which all will at once recognize as the
initials Of that vigorous and charming writer,
JOIN EsTEN COOKE, Esq, of Virginia. His
description Of General AsHBT's appearance is as
follows
What the men Of Jackson saw at the head Of the
cavalry from March 10 June 1862, was a man rather
below the middle height, with An active and vigOr-
Ousframe, clad in plain confederate gray. His brown
felt hat was decorated with 4 black feather; his uni
form was almost without decorations; his cavalry
boots. dusty or splashed with mud, came 10 the knee
and around his waist he wore a sash and plain
leather belt, holding pistol and saber. The face OF
this man OF thirty or a little more, was noticeable
Ills complexion was as dark as that Of an Arab his
eyes, Of u deep rich brown, Sparkled under well
formed brOws; and two-thirds OF his face was covered
by a huge black beard aud m~ustache, the latter curl
ing at the ends, the former reaching To his breast
There was thus In the face OF the cavalier something
Moorish, and brigandish but all Aea oil Il
melodramatc parsonage disappeared as you
messed his hand, looked into his eyes, and
spoke 10 him. The brown eyes, which would
dash superbly in battle, were the sOttest and most
friendly imaginable the voice, which could thrill
his men as il rang like a clarion in the charge, was
tLe perfection Of mild courtesy. He was as simple
and e. friendly" as a child, in all his words, move
ments, and the carriage OF his person. You could
see from his dress, his firm tread, his open and frank
glance, that he was a thorough sOldler-lndeed he
always looked like wOrk'-but under the soldier,
as plainly was the gentleman. Such in his plain
costume, with his simple manner and retiring mo-
desty was Ashby, whose name and fame, a brave
cOmrade has truly said, will endure as long as the
mountains and valleys which he defended.
Apart from what he performed, he was
a parsonage to whom attached and still attaches a
neverdying interest. His career was all romance
II was as brief splendid and eyanescent as q dream
but, after all, twas the man, Turner Ashby, who
was the real attraction. Ii was the man whom the
people Of the Shenandoah Valley admired so pas
~siOnately, rather than his glorious record. There
was something grander than the wonderful achiev-
ments Of this soldier, and that was the soldier him
self.

The Usury Laws

The unWise action Of the House Of Delegates,
in refusing to repeal the usury laws, will coca
sion much disappointment and regret through
out the State. We fear that this action will
be construed as evidence of the restitution Of
that capacity and f~orecaste 50 essential in this
financial emergency. II has laid an e%ilectual
embargo upon the circulation OF money at the
time Of all others when it is most needed
Every class in the community, every individ-
ual, every business transaction, will eXperienec
the depressing influence Of this unwise action
of the Legislature. Is it too late to recon
