The historical Society of Virginia.

This Society is without local habitatiOn,
and almost without name. Referring to the
fact stated in a recent lecture-that the library
of the Society was deposited in the basement
of gentleman in this city-a contemporary
trusts that there are few "who do not feel how
sacred is the duty of repairing this neglect"
and who do not recognize the propriety of
the suggestion, that the people of the State
should Immediately raise a sum sufficient for
the purchase of building, which, if large
enough for nothing else, might contain the
library of the Society and the muster-roll of
the Army of Northern Virginia, and of all
other troops that Virginia sent to the field"
The lecturer erred in his statement to this
extent: portion of the Historical Library,
some seven hundred volumes, has been de-
posited in the library room of the Young Mems
Christian Association, and the rest have again
been boxed up, and are in the saie-keeping OF
DR.. BARNEY, the Treasurer of the Society, who
deserves credit for the trouble and expense
he has incurred in taking care of them. Had
he not given his personal attention to the mat
ter, it is questionable whether the valuable
collection of the Society would have been saved
from the general wreck.
The truth is, the Society has languished ever
since the departure from this city of CONWAY
Robinson, Esq, the former Chairman of the
Executive Committee. We yield TO none in
the respect which we entertain for the gentle
men composing this committee, who are among

but it is. we believe, matter of simple fact
that, during the war, when they should have
been busiest, the committee did not hold sim
gle meeting-or, if they did, the result was
much the same as though they had never met
for we are not aware that they added one SIN

Doubtless, there were endorsements. But
something might have been done; something
ought to have been done. On several occa-
sons, during the war, the Wing endeavored to
stimulate the Executive Committee to some
exertion, but without avail. Despairing of
work from that quarter where it was most to be
expected, we gave our entreaties another

How to Punish GarroterS.

Garroting has become a regular trade in this
city. Scarcely a day passes that we are not
called upon to record new instances of it. In
the case of Mr.. RINE, the paymaster of the
Old Dominion Iron Works, the garroters boldly
made their assault and accomplished their pur-
pose in the day time. 1t was hoped that they
had been caught aud would be summarly pup
ished. The evidence, however, adduced be-
fore the Mayor was insufficient, and as to some
of the parties arrested, entirely exculpatory,
and they were all discharged. The success at
tending this sally of the garroters, and the es-
cape thus far of those concerned in 1t, seems
to have encouraged and stimulated that fra
ternity to new attempts.
The city police is active, vigilant and faith
full. We believe that nothing is left undOne by
them to promote good order and security in the
city, and we hope that when they shall acquire
more experience in their new vocation, they
will be enabled to ferret out many villanies
now unfathomed, aud detect and arrest many
criminals who have thus far escaped detection
and punishment.
The Legislature has recently raised horse
stealing to the dignity of a capital offence
We suggest that it now pay its respects 10 tue
garrotors, and provide, in addition to the pun
ishment now inflicted upon such offenders, that
they shall be publicly lOhipped. This degrading
punishment will, we believe, go farther to
break up the garroters and suppress garroting
than any other kind of punishment that could
be inflicted.
These garroters are not your dirty thieves,
who wear coarse clothes, live upon common
fare and frequent the haunts of squalid misery
They are fancy men, whose tastes are of the ell
egant order, aud whose habits are exceedingly
expensive. They wear the finest broadcloth,
cut in the extreme of the fashion. They deco
rate their persons with diamond rings and
breastpins They carefully cultivate their
hair, and they live daintily and lodge luXu-
riously. A public lohipping would have more
terrors for these exquisites than any other pun
ishment that could be inflicted. Imprisonment
is not esteemed by this class of criminals
mark of degradation. They all hope, when
confined, to break Jail and escape. They often
do this for every imprisoned garroter is sue
cored by his outside friends. When they do
escape they are the heroes of the Paternity
All they have to do then is to adopt some dis
guise, and in this they are expert, and change
their scene of operations. From the degrade
ton of public whipping, once inflicted, they
could never escape. Their herOism would be
forever extinguished.

A Cotton Autocrat.

Strange things happen in this world. In this
country reality has surpassed fiction. Four
years ago who would have supposed that the
New York Tribune would, in 1866, become the
organ of the cotton interest, and that HORACE
GREELEY would, in his own person, become
the embodiment of that imperial myth, King
Cotton" Yet so it is. He sits in his editorial
chair, in New York city, and issues his edictS
to his subjects. The people who own the cot
ton lands, and the States in which these lands
lie, have nothing to do with the matter. Ho-
RACE GREELEY knows all that can be learned
in regard to cotton growing, and has exclusive
control of the whole subject. He says that so
many persons write TO him for Information that
he is " unable to answer their enquiries speci-
fcally." He, therefore, indites ukase and pub
fishes it in the Tribune, in which he sets forth
what he calls the " leading facts" These
leading facts explain the price of cotton, the
price Of cotton land purchased or hired, price
of labor and the mode of employing and regu-
Iating it, the localities best adapted to the pro-
ductiou of cotton, and at which Northern men
would be safe, sc.
1t would seem from this pronunciamento that
the cotton interest is to be taken in hand by
Northern men, who, it is said, will find no diff
iculty in employing negroes, because they are
their peculiar friends and have the cash to pay
them. The policy, doubtless, is to keep the old
proprietorS poor and encourage i'll will between
them and the negroes, so that Adventures from
the North, who have ready money, may step in,
aud either buy or rent the lands and make all
the profits TO be derived from the cotton crop.
The North is astir on this subject. So great is
the eagerneSS, that Mr.. GREELEY deems it ne
cessary to say-'sAs to going South without
money, or with very little, and trying to grow
cotton, we would not recommend it," He then
whets the Northern appetite for the cotton
lands by saying: " No one must expect TO do
better in a year than to double his capital"
1t is not the settling amongst us Of Northern
men, for whatever legitimate purpose, that we
complain OF, nor are We so shOrt-sighted and
stupid as to complain of the flow OF capital to
the South Labor and capital are precisely the
two clements We need. We complain that the
financial and political power of the North is
most unfairly welded to keep us poor, and tC
promote discomfort and distrust among the
southern negroes, so as to compel us to sur
render the industrial interests of the South in
In Northern hands. 1t is a Shrewd and un.
principled continuance to seize upon all the
profits yielded by Southern property.

General Terry's Notification Of the
Warrant Act

In noticing Yesterday the order of General
TERRY, multiplying an act of the Virginia Legs
lature we mentioned that certain clauses OF
that act were copied from the Pennsylvania
statute on the same subject-vagrancy. We
should have said that the clauses from the
Pennsylvania statute, copied into the Virginia
act, are those which are specially excepted to
by General TERRY, and on account of which
the act is nullifed, so far as negroes are con-
cerned. The Pennsylvania statute (see Dun
Lor's Compilation, page $780, subjects to the
penalties prescribed
First All persons who shall unlawfully return into
any district whence they have been legally removed,
without bringing certificate from the city or dis
trct TO which they belong.
Second. ALI persons who, not having wherewth
to maintain themselves and their families, live idly
and without employment, AND REFUSE TO WORK FOR
THE USUAL AND COMMON WAGES GIVEN OTHER La
BOXERS IN THE LIKE WORK IN THE PLACE WHERE
THEY THEN ARE.
Third. All persons who shall refuse to perform
the work which shall be allotted to them by the over
seers of the poor as aforesaid.
Fourth. All persons going about from door to
door or placing themselves in streets highways or
other roads, to beg or gather aims, and all other
persons wandering abroad and begging.
Fifth. All persons who shall come from any place
without this Commonwealth TO any place within it,
and shall be found lettering and residing therein
and shall follow no labor trade, occupation or bu
siness and have no visible of subsistence, and
can give no reasonable account Of themselves or
their business in such place.
These clauses are adopted, verbatim, into the
Virginia act. And yet it is on account OF
these clauses that the Virginia act is set aside.
With this simple exposure of fact, we think
there is no occasion to add word.

Actions AGAINST Words.

If the Radicals believed in the truth of all
the disagreeable things alleged by them against
the Southern people, they would have been
glad Tor them to escape from the Union by Sc
eeSs'on without war. They would have been
glad TO be rid of them on any terms. In place
VI 'liS' however, they fought for four years,
expended perhaps, including Federal, State,
county and corporation OUTLAWS, six thousand
miiHonS OF dollars, raised, first and last, two
millions Of troops, and lost by disease and the
bullet at fair estimate, between three and
four hundred thousand men, and further
avOwed their determination to eontippe the
war to the last man and the last dollar if it
should take twenty yeas to achieve success.
Would they have incurred all these sacri-
fees for a worthless possession Never. They
are too shrewd and practical for that. If they
had believed the Southern people to be the bad
they now represent them to be, they
would have been glad to be rid Of them. They
would not let them go, and marked their real
