Joseph Barnes. now in his sixty-ninth year,
but vet hale, hearty and strong, is boxing for

Arnory in this city in 1910 as an apprentice,
and remained there until 1914, when he joined,
as volunteer. Captain Jones Company, organs
lied in this city TO resist the British. When
the war was over he returned 10 the Armory,
and remained there until 1921. he then went
TO Harper's Ferry; worked there as a gunsmith
for ten wears. and then returned {, the Armory
in Richmond, in which he worked up to the
night of the evacuation.

can say of him that more honest, well con-
Quoted and faithful man does not exist. lie IS

Robbing a Typo.

An exchange vents itself in the following
manner on the robbing of typo:
Some wretch entered the sleeping apartment
of Printer on Sunday night, and stole most
of his wardrobe, including asuit of new clothes:
A man whocould do such a thing as that would
steal the headstone from his mothers grave to
knock out his fathers brains. Hc would borrow
akev from his mother-in-lawto to unlock his wiies
toilet that ne may steal her pin-money. he
would steal an orange from his sick baby if he
could sell it for two cents.
The article concludes with this awful denun-
citation:
May he be allowed 10 read nothing but Har-
per's Weekly, New York Tribune and Brown
lows Wing. May he join the Radicals.
TThis same wretch is fit subject to come tc
Cbarlestown to associate with the f'celre liberal

bors and benefactors,

IN AND OUT OF THE UNION.

One of the absurdites of the Reconstruction
Committees project need only be stated to show
the desperate resort of thep party to retain and
perpetuate power Theeleven Southern States
are described as disorganized communities, I"
aud therefore not entitled to representation rs
States; yet the amendment to the Constitution
abolishing slavery WAS submitted to them, and
ratified by every one as States and they were
counted as such in the official announcement Of
the Secretary of State, declaring the amendment
adopted by three. .foarths Of the States Of the
Union.
Again: If they are disotganized comniini-
ties" and not in the Union, how can the ques-
tion on these latter amendments be submitted
10 them as StatesP
The Constitution expressly provides that
each State shall have two Senators, yet the
dominant party say the Southern States shall
not hare any until they adopt the proposed
amendments, and these amendments framed for
the very purpose of reducing their representa-
tion.
How they can be called upon as States to
adopt amendments curtailing their representa-
ton or forcing negro suffrage upon them as an
alternative, can only be accounted for on the
ground thst the logic Of the Radicals is only
equalled by their effrontery.
In the Union for measures calculated to de-
grade them-omof IL whenever party advsn-
tage is to be gained.
If the eleven Southern States are not IN the
Union what would be their condition if able to
take up arms again2 They would unquestion-
ably be recognized as belligcrents, and there
fore not auenable for treason, since no person
not in the Union could be treated as traitor.
There is one thing certain. No State which
is not in che hands OF Radicals by frand or force
will accept the degrading terms offered by the
Senate of the United States. Better be unrep-
resented forever than kiss the rod welded by
the skulking demagogues who nowrulcin Con-
gress We tender Van Winkle the thanks of
every manly heart in the South for holding out
against the Radical Disunonists.

JUDGE UNDERWOOD.

The state of Virginia has produced many a
bic jurists and lawyers, whose fame is not con-
fined to the limits of our old commonwealth
nor to our extended Republic; men whose
names are indissolubly linked with our nation
al greatness, honored and appreciated alike at
homo and abroad. Marshall, Madison, Henry,
and a host of others will forever live in the
memories and affections of all who appreciate
true greatness. Their words and deeds are
written in the mpcrishable monuments OF their
genius, and stand like the glorious mountains
they so often gazcd upon. So long as that
great embodiment Of human wisdom and fofe-
sight, the Constitution, shall continue, their
names will be identified Herewith.
Il were well if their mantles had fallen on
some who now fill the elevated positions they
once graced. But il seems that in these latter
days men ofbut ordinary legal ability, and by
no means overstocSed with common sense wear
the Ermine.
We are led to these reflections by reading the
charge of his Honor, (?) Judge Underwood, to
the Jury of the U. S. Court at Richmond, on
the 9Th instant
Emanating from such Court, in the present
state Of public feeling, it is about as ill-tmed,
undignifed and uncalled for " "harangue,' as
ever issued from forum Of Justice. Right
glad are we that conservative and radical pa
pers are handling it as it deserves.
This impartial Judge begins his "charse,
by congratulating the Jurors that they are still
living, notwithstanding the threats and assaults
made to intimidate them. The Press of the
State aud city he brands as reasonable and IL
centious.-and Richmond moro infamous than
the cities (?) along the Senegambia, Congo &c,
on the coast of Africa. His honor wonders
"that so manv traces Of kindness, humanity,
and christian civilization should have survived
such debasing and brutalizing influences"
II is wise to divest ourselves Of passion and
preiudice at all times-how much more necesSa-
~ to do so when issues Of the graveSt and high
est Importance are at stake We are in duty
| NN-'-y
passionately, and by all honorable means infiu'
cnce others to ike course. Yet, here is
Judge, surrounded BY ali the solemn sanctitle'
of the Law, delivering charge to Jury
inflammstory and vindictive in the highest de-
Gree. No clear and terse statement, so neces'
sary on the rnomentons occasion Of their assem-
bling, but in its stead a raking up OF the deac
past-a TRADE against The citizens OF Richmond
and the Press Of the entire State.
So far as his attack on the latter Is concerned
we have but a word to say. Our list of . Ex
changes" is quite large, embracing all th'
prominent journals therein. lfthere is one I'll
centious" paper among them, we have failed IL
the course of years to discover ii. Perhaps thi
is owing TO the obliquity Of our moral vision
or it may be that the learned Judges eye is
keen as his nice sense Of the dignity and r'irit,
of the crrnine.

Cen RreckinrideeI Indicted.

The Richmond Times Of the Sthsays: "Of
the FIVE indictments handed to Judge Under
wood, one was against John c. Breckinridge.
Thi. is an ascertaned fact and the indictment
is rerbdtim the same as Tint bro,ght in against
Mr.. Davis, except that for the words jefferson
Davis are substituted John c. Breckinridge.-
The overt act is alleged in both instruments to
have been committed on the same day, the 18th
Of june. 1864. The object sought to be attain
ed by the indictment of General Breckenridge,
who is now in Canada, is to prevent his being
pardoned by the Pfssiden. and his return to his
homo in the United States. 1t is considered
certain that the President will not pardon him
whilst he is under indictment"

The National Fair.


The inauguration OF the National Fair for the
benefit of the home for the Orphans Of Soldiers
and Sailors, took place in Washington. twas
largely attended and everything passed otlin the
most successful manner. Speeches were made
by Senators Wilson and Lane, Gems Banks and
Howard and Others, and, finally, the President
of the United States, who was present, was
requested to address the audience, which he did
in an eloquent manner. We make the follow
inc extract from the Presidents speech:
"While in peace yours is the work Of peace.
Then let us cultivate the arts of peace let us
direct the minds Of our people to peace. War
has accomplished its end, now let peace do its
work. / trust thst our country and our Gov
eminent will be blessed with peace and that
our restoration will be such as to cause MS to
have confidence in and respect and affection for
each other. | trust that these jarring and dis
turbine elements which have heretofore divided
us in sentiment, and which resulted in the san
culinary conflict through which we have Just
passed, may all pass away, and your orphan
society organization be extensive enough 70 EN-
brace the orphans of all who have fallen in this
terrible struggle The orphans could not pre-
vent NJ, are not 10 be held responsible for,
what their parents did. If we would all swear
by this rule, charity and kindness would acti-
ate every one. and exhibitors such as we have
witnessed would cease. Ifyou should take into
consideration the cause OF the distress of every
one who appeals for your charities, charity
would cease TO exist As there are orphans
that need your help and protection, it is not
necessary to inquire what made them orphans.
They are human beings, and deserve your sym
