A late writer says, with much truth I:
'.Our leaders have for some years been po-
litcal r0tionolists, and rdtionalism, both
religious and political, is the appalling evil
of the day, for it has declared, and is main
tanning open war against everything in
heaven or on earth.
There is hardly a rcrormer in New Eng
land, who would not undertake to make to
order a far better social, moral, political
and religious world, than this cold crazy
thing we live in. lie would be certain to
undertake it, if he could secure the patent
right. One may be intimate with them
for month without discovering tho pecul-
lar monomania but they are all crazy up
on some point"

The cxigcncy demands. some delay and

Time, in this, as in other troubles, would
bring healing on its wings. Let the Legis-
lature be summoned. The recent decision OF
the Supreme Court OF our State, itself, ind-
Gates the remedy. Well informed men of the
legal profession say that it is competent for
the Legislature to regulate and control the
remedies for the enforcement of civil de-
mands provided the integrity of the contract
itself is preserved. The old remedies may be
modified. The pleadings and practice can be
so regulated by law as to give some indul-
gence to the debtor. The first term might be
made merely the return term, the second
term have the pleadings made up, and let
the case stand for trial at the third term,
without closing the courts to the creditor.
The constitution does not require that executions
should be returnable in six months The law might
be so altered as to make executions retunabe in
twelve months instead of six.

FROM WASHINGTON.

It's rumored that two Scutherners, Mr.
Reverdy johnson and Senator Cowan, Of
Pennsylvania, will have seats in the Pres
ident's soon-to- be-organized Cabinet
Mr.. Seward. of course, will retain the
Premiership.
There need be no fears that the Freed
mems Bureau bill will be passed by the
Senate in any other shape. 1t is known
that five of the thirty Senators who voted
against sustaining the veto would have
voted with the Democrats, ii their votes
had been necessary 10 sustain the veto.
The principles embodied in the bill are
killed, and they can never be revived or
moulded into laws by the present Con
gress.
The Radicals like this veto SO well
that they are preparing for another. The
negro suffrage bill, passed by the House
sometime ago, has been reported in the
Senate without amendment, aad the Radi-
Gals intend to urge its immediate passage.
The Radicals may pass as many bills of
this kind as they please, but the Presi-
dent will veto them as fast as they are
laid before him.
At the irstigation of the Radicals, the
flags en- the negro school houses were
draped in Grape, as the symbol of mourn
ing over the defeat of the Freedmen's
Bureau bll-a piece of impairment NAL,

shippers would ever have been guilty of.

Bzyp The ladies of Winchester, Va, are
endeavoring to raise funds to enable them to
gather together the remains of thousands Of
Southern soldiers, whose graves are scatter
ed all around that town, with no sign to in
dictate who sleeps beneath the sod. The
graves themselves are steadily being leveled
with the earth's surface by the passage of
man and beast to and fro, and by the labor
Of the plowman. 1t is thought that from this
latter cause alone the hundreds on hundreds
of hillocks will be efaced next spring and
the ladies appeal to all who have relations
or friends buried in that neighborhood to
come to their assistance. The remains OF
the Fedora; so,,diers buried at and near Win
chester, have been collected and reinterred
by their friends and esatives.
The funds gathered for this purpose, which
touches hearts in every Southern State, can
be RENTED, we see, to Mrs. Philip Williams,
