ture, or as an executive or judicial officer of
any State, to support the Constitution of the
United States, shall have engaged in insur-
rection or rebellion against the same, or given
aid and comfort to its enemies. But Con-
gress may, by vote of two-thirds of each

For if they were sincere, why should these

shall not be able to unclasp them? The ans

A j." Wake.o

The Irish Republic was understood generally
to be dead. The Government, or,Corporation,
or Banking Institution, whichever it might
have been, of Fenianism, departed this lite
at Campo Bello, sometime ago, and gave up
the ghost, as we thought, very much in the
fashion of one killed behind the arras as ga
rat" A galvanic battery has now been APP
piled to the extremities of the corpse, and
we have spasmodic imitation of life. The
present proceeding, we presume, may be con-
sidered in the nature of "wake," for the in
vasion of Canada and the capture of Fort Erie
by the Finigans, must bring the Republic to
its grave, and bury it out of sight Such
is the inevitable consequence of this flank
movement on greenbacks with the incidental
capture of Erie. We trust the orators and
money-raisers have accompanied the expedi-
ton force. The epitaph of EMMETT remains
unwritten.

This meritorious and gallant gentleman has
embarked in business as a Commission Mer-
chant in Richmond as member of the firm
of Armistead, Rice, Cary & Baker, Carey and
ID Streets, and carries to his new profession
an amount of energy and practical sense
which added to his spotless integrity must
insure his success.
We announce the fact SO that his numer-
GUS friends may know what he is doing and
govern themselves accordingly.
1t is hardly necessary for us to wish him
prosperity, though we do so with cordial en-
phasis, for he belongs to that class of men
who compel success.

Ship Building.


From time to time we hear of strikes among
the carpenters and caulkers of the North, and
we learn that the combination of these trades
is daily expanding itself. In addition to this
the narrow and illiberal policy of Congress
on the naval appropriations, from which esti-
mates for this station, among other Southern
Yards, were thrown out, has set adrift large
number of ship carpenters in Portsmouth.
Now, is it not possible for us to find means to
employ this valuable labor? At the very
start in answering this question, we are con-
fronted by the fact that we lack capital. Our
wise legislation of last winter framed ex-
clusively in one interest and unwisely adap-
ted to that, has driven it from us but brains
and energy can always command money.
These are the forces which create and direct
values. Our people do not lack the former,
but the possession of the latter may be ques-
toned. Let us try and combine the two, and
with special relation to ship building. An
association of carpenters might be formed and
capital invested to inaugurate an enterprise of
this sort among us. Our location offers pc
culiar advantages for an adventure of this
sort. We have at our very doors the timber
which is daily carried to the North for this
purpose. Here at once is an economy in
the transportation Of timber which in itself
constitutes great attraction. We are within
easy reach of coal and iron. We have the
skilled labor at our doors, and the scheme is
entirely practicable. Fifty years ago barques
and ships were constructed here and on the Pc
ninsula, where to-day canoe is hardly built,
but the conditions favorable to building are not
materially altered. Timber can still be had, and
labor is abundant This, it may be said,
clocks well on paper" Doubt, proverbially,
employs this expression; but that which does
not promise we'll as theory, is not likely to
succeed in practice. If, then, it be granted
that it does look well, it is worth inquiring
into For if there is a general European wal,
a great part of the carrying trade must be
done in American bottoms. Southern timber
will go into these ships, and if proper repre-
sensations are made to the owners of capital,
we do not doubt that the great natural adj
vantages we possess can be turned to protta-
BILE account. The suggestion is worthy the
consideration of our builders and carpenters,
some of whom have shown that they are men
of scientific attachments. 1t can be shown
that ships may be built here with less COST
and, therefore, with larger margin for pro-
fits, and we do not doubt that within the
next lust,ptm we shall see the experiment fully
under way. The field is open and inviting,
who will be the first to enter and enjoy it?

The grand commemoration in honor of the
memory of the Confederate dead has taken
place at Hollywood Cemetery. Twenty
thousand persons decorated the graves of the
Confederate dead-all business was suspended
in Richmond
Every grave was adorned with roses and
other flowers; all the old military organiza-
tons were present, The Dispatch says the
air at Hollywood was balmy and odorous
with the mingled perfumes of ten thousand
flowers and it is a consolation to our hearts to
know that not even one grave was seen
which did not bear upon it some momento of
love and regard. In the evening when tho
citizens had returned from Hollywood, the
stores still remained closed and the streets
were as silent as upon Sunday afternoon.

What Norfolk and Portsmouth can
Send to the Paris Fair.

The great exhibition which is to take place
in Paris this summer, will attract visitors from
all quarters of the globe The pampas of
South America and the steppes of Russia;
Stamboul and the city of Mexico; Algeria and
the United States, will all have their products
displayed and their representatives present.
The turban and the sombrero; the tarbousche
and the wide-awake; peg-tops and Turkish
trousers, will all be there. The display made
by this country promises to be of uncommon
brilliancy. Boston will send steam engine;
Chicago patent reaping machine; Pittsburg
monstrous Rodman gun, and SO on through
the whole catalogue. Especially will the
display from this country be rich in improved
arms and munitions of war. The mechanical
perfection to which the noble art of destroy
ing human life has been brought on this
Continent, will be conspicuously illustrated,
and the battles of the late bloody revolution,
will be discussed in a score of tongues.
Among these takers, who will inevitably
pause at the American section of the great
Fair, how many will have any tolerably just
conception of what the South did, or how it
was done? If we answer this by saying one
in a thousand, we make liberal allowance;
but yet, we have here grand opportunity Of
writing our history, naval and military, in
wo short chapters-in two chapters which
all men, of all nations, can read, and which
they will never forget.
The plan is very simple. Let us send orr
contribution to tho Exhibition 1t need be
put small, and yet how eloquent Let us
end a model of the famous old Meri-
mac, the iron-prowed ship, which solved
mooted question in naval architecture,
and inaugurated a new method of maritime
warfare And the bearded Turk, and the
smart Arab, and the smiling Greek, and the
olive Spanard, and the dark Italian, and the
fair Scandinavian, and cosmopolitan Musco-
vite, will understand at a glance, the me-
chanical genius of our people Then, let us
send the arms and accoutrements and uni
form of Confederate soldier Let them be
lust as they were. Let the thin garments, the
bottomless shoes, the lean haversack with its
parched corn, the sleazy blanket, the thin un-
dershrt-all full of unspeakable pathos-the
pathos of utter poverty-go to tell all the
world what manner of men followed the for
tunes of the Southern Cross, when it blazed
on the perilous ledge of battle" In these
two simple contributions, which can surely
be made, we will show at once our genius for
practical affairs, and our heroic endurance.
These qualities will stand us in good stead
now, and though we may wear no more the
