WASHINGTON co1,1,nGn.

Every Nirginlan doubtless feels becoming
pride in the success of this institution, now
under the Presidency of the christian soldier,
Gen. Robert E. Lee. Not only is thc.colege:
likely to be encouraged by the people of Vir-
ginia, but by all who admire the virtue and
courage of its distinguished President, from
all parts of the South Referring to this in
stitution, the Baltimore Gazette says -
''The next annual session of Washington
College, at Lexington, Virginia, commences,
as will be seen by an advertisement else
where, OH the 18th of September It is of
this College that General Robert E. Lee is
President, and he has shown in his new
sphere of duty that steadGastness of purpose,
earnest attention to details and that capacity
for winning the confidence whilst exacting
the obedience of the students under his
charge, which had previously made his name
revered in the military annals of Virginia.
The other members of the Faculty are also
gentlemen of acknowledged learning and
ability, and now that the College has been re-
established upon permanent basis, we know
of no institution that can more justly claim
the patronage of our people, or where their
sons or their wards can receive a better ed
ucation.

RErRocEss1oN OF ALEXANDRIA,.

A.
The people Of Alexandria, county and city,
have reason to rejoice in the failure of the in
famous attempt of some of the radical NJ. CPS
to put them back into the District, where the
negro and his worshippers do much abound
and where their sweet smelling savors rise in
billowy clouds of fragrance to the skies.
In the debates that were had in the Senate
on the subject, Mr.. Harris of New York, and
Mr.. Howard of Michigan, both took ground
In favor of declaring the act of retrocession
null and void and argued that it was so be-
cause of the fact that the act did not state
that the people of Alexandria had voted in
favor OF returning to Virginia, and cited nu-
merous authorities in support of their position.
Now if this was a good point for honorable
Senators in this case, why was it not equally
good with them in the case of the tranfer of
Jefferson and Berkeley to West Virginia p
The act of Virginia required the matter to be
submitted to the voters of the counties, and
the act of Congress does not show that this
was done, but the testimony before the Sem
ate proved that it was not done, and vet these
radical Senators both voted for the outrageous
wrong. In the one case it suited them in
their party schemes, and in the other it. did
not. What is our country to expect at the
hands of Congress composed of men such
as these, so blind to every thing but their eff
forts to punish the people of the South, and
so determined to sink the Constitution and
the laws, and all fair and honest dealing, when
in their way? We did not expect different
action at the hands of Mr.. Howard, but the
antecedents of Mr.. Harris led us to suppose
that he would, sometimes at least, act fairly
and Justly.

AT IT AGAIN,

The Hon. Raymond, ':the little villain" is
again at his work of eating dirt. Some weeks
ago we published Il short sketch of his doings
and undoings in the lower House of Congress
showing how he spoke one way and voted
the other, upon almost every question of i'm
portance to the country; and now we find
him endorsing and strongly advocating the
proposition for the national convention to be
held in August next, and then, in but few
days afterwards, going into caucus of Rad
zeal Republicans, and expressing his regret
at having left the Stevens fold and proclaim
ing that neither he, or his paper, the New
York Times, would further uphold tho con-
ventiOn, but would continue to stand by the
disunionists and oppose the President This
constant changing from one side to the other
has rendered Raymond absolutely ridiculous
in the eyes of men of all parties, and proves
him to be utterly unfit to sit in the councils
Of the cOuntry-even with such men us Ste
vcns.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
Gov.Arthur [. Foreman, from his Head
Quarters on the banks of the Ohio, has is
sued his proclamation declaring the adoption
of the notorious Amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the So called State of West Virginia.
Tho vote by which this result was attained
was as follows For Ratification, % ,224 ;
For Rejection, Is 1902. That our people NAV
become familiar with this amendment, We
append it:
mo person who, since the frstday of June,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty one,
has given or shall give voluntary aid or as.
sistance to the rebellion against the United
States, shall be citizen of this State, or be
allowed to vote at any election held therein,
unless he has volunteered into the military
or naval service of the United States. and
has been or shall be honorably discharged
therefrom"
For this Amendment there were twelve
votes cast ut this precinct. We are anxious
that our people shall also be made familiar
with these twelve men. Their names are.
John j. Sanborn, Nathaniel Myers, Edward
Williams, William Simpson, Charles Warner,
Samuel Lindsey, George Anderson, Thomas
Young, Geo. W. Chase, Sam'l Ridenour, AL
fred O'Bunnon and W w. Burton. Let the
people Of this community remember these

Of citizenship, and if yon encourage them
hereafter, you deserve the dislranchiscment
which they have voted to inAict.

EOGE-HILL GEMETERY.-This beautiful
resting place for orr fevered dead, is now
more consecreted than ever in the affections
OF our people In addition to the many of
our oldest and best citizens, who are quietly
sleeping within its hallowed precincts, the
two hundred and more of our noble Confed-
crate dead, who have Recently received befit-
ting sculpture within its enclosure, give to
6 Edge-Hill not only local, but national
import. During the progress of the war the
fencing was all destroyed, many of the shade
trees broken down, the walks and other adorn-
ments much defaced, yet with commendable
zeal and at quito heavy expenditure, Thos.
Rutherford, Esq, acting in behalf of the
trustees, has had handsome paling enclosure
put around the lot, the gates put in proper
condition, oand the whole exterior is under
going gradual but necessary renoyation.-
The whole of the fencing was built by Mas
ters William Brown and Thos. Rutherford.
Jr., setting most praise.worthy example of
industry and perseverance to many of our
young men who are more able and accustomed
to manual labor than they, but have not the
moral nerve to test the efficacy of that fniunc-
ton which requires them " to earn their bread
by the sweat of their brow" There is still
a large number of eligible and handsome lots.
which the trustees desire to dispose of at an
early day, that the funds may be appropria>
ted to the improvement of the grounds.
