During its consideration, lengthy debate

IMMIGRATION INTO THE STATE OF VIRGINIA
A bill 10 encourage this interest was taken up
Mr.. Owen advocated the bill.
MIR. BOOKER opposed the bill because his con-
stituents did not want foreigners 10 compete
with the poor white men of his county
Mr.. EVANS was glad that the constituents oil
tho gentleman from Henry did not need
additional labor. His own constituents ana

wanted the intelligent and Industrious ocotch
English, and others, from Europe, 10 come lllto
our midst and wished the state 10 guarantee
them protection. If the gentleman had the
pleasure of knowing DR.. Black, scotch
farmer of intelligence and enterprise, he would
no doubt be impressed by his manner, as had
been every Virginia farmer with whom ne had
come in contact and from whom he has already
rented two hundred thousand acres OF land.

President Johnson.

The late speeches of President JOHNSON to
the citizens of Montana Territory, and to the
deputation of FRED. DOUGLASS and others,
have more OF the odd Roman : about them
than any enunciatious which have been heard
from the White House for many years. In
reading them, We could almost imagine that
ANDREW JACKSON, whose likeness hangs in the
Executive Chamber, was once more holding
the rens of State and making the whips crack
about the disturbers of the public peace.
1t is evident that the President has tho
roughly considered his position, that he appre-
ciates its obligations and responsibilities, and
has marked out his course with equal ciearness
and determination. He says, indeed, that the
declaration Of the great principles Of the Go
yernment announced in his message TO Congress
"was not the result OF impulse" but was
"the result of 4 thorough and calm considera-
.'tion of those great truths which lie at the
Foundation of all free governments" CATER
"haying gone so far, it is TOO late for me 10
"turn and take q different direction. They
" will be my guide from this time onward, and
"those who understand them may know where
shall always be found when principle is
involved" To clnch the conviction in the
Puphe fhiho that he takes no step backward,
ou' 'ha' ne WIZ be governed III his action by
tue pfihcipies announced in his message, he
declares that his political race is run; that his
work lie 70 restore the Government. and not 10
make combinations with reference 10 any I'm.
ture candidacy for the Presidency of the
United States Il feel that can afford 70 do
fright; and so feeling, God being willing l
"intend 10 do right; and as far as in me lies
II intend 10 administer this Government upon
"the principles that lie at the foundation
"of it."
Nothing could be more emphatic and signifl-
cant than these declarations, nor more manly
and appropriate Than the spirit In which they
are announced. 1t is no ordinary person who
thus rises 10 the magnitude OF this occasion.
He who traces his career back from the White
House TO log cabin demonstrates by such
sentiments as these that II was no accident OF
fortune which bore him to his lofty eia 3ation,
A powerful, sagacious and practical inIeilect,
and indomitable energy Of will, could alone
have achieved such Il triumph over ADVERSE
circumstances und these qualities are 70 dis

March 24-The wool market pursues the
even tenor of its way" with scarcely any variation
in prices or the volume of trade. The demand Is
N oderate for the season, corresponding with the
movement in Spring. goods. But the quantity OF
staple daily and weekly going into
and needed to meet the curr ent requirements cf
our great manufacturing interests which center IN
this metropolis. is so large that wool holders are
not disposed to hurry the process OF absorbation.-
They feel confident Of selling all the wool they
can lay their hands on, between now and July At
prices yieldine a fair profit and are BY no means
discouraged by the slow aud cautious policy Of
buyers, which just now retard the movements Of
ever thing in the shape of merchandise.
Manufacturers are not di posed to pay high, pri-
ces for wool, in view of the concessions they have
been Obliged to make on their products to prevent
Accommodations and bring buyers into MARKET
They are now placing their stocks OF Spring goods
in the market. though at rather . small margin :,
They have got the wheels of mmeI started

cannot afford to allow their own machinery. TO lie

Are they Mt for Re-admfssIOB
y - into the Union.

The peculiar ftnessof the people of the
South for re-admission into the councils
of the Nation, is very well illustrated in
the following collOquy in the o. S. House
of Representatives on the 18th inst:
Mr.. BOUTWELL-Let me ask my colleague q
question. Why has not q postmaster been appoint
ed in every village, town and city in the South?
Mr. LLBH-Thereason is because the Postmas-
ter General is 60 particular. and justly so. that ne
: will not ALLOW ans man to serve in that Department
who does not subscribe TO the oath prescribed by
the laws of the United States,
Mr.. BOUTWELL-Does the chairman Of the
COMMITTEES on the P~ostofiee and Pest Roads inform
the House that there is not at least ons loyal man
ia each ~pnstofhce district of the South2
MI. mean to say there is motor az
least the Postmaster General has not found them
The Postmaster General has been only able to lind
something like t=0 thousand, only one-togrth OF
the whole. who would take the ssth which the law
preseribes.
In view of this state of facts we tniGlk
there is a good deal of pertinenoe in Thsd.
Stevens query why are we to have post
offices in such places? Why not withhold
them until we can find men to fill them?"
And if we can't find one man in a district
who is fit to be q village postmaster, be-
cause the Government annot place con-
fdence in their loyalty, ought the whole
batch of rebels to be admitted into Con-
gress to make laws for loyal men? That's
the question.-DaytOn Journal.
