HOUSE OF REFUGE.
The second section Of the ninth article
of the Constitution reads as follows
The General Assembly shall provide
Houses Of Refuge for The reformation aud
correction Of juvenile offenders"
This constitutional provision. adopted
in 1861. aud which is plainly mandatory
in its character, up to this time remains
wholly unexecuied. The necessity for
such institutions is admitted BY all who
arc at all familiar with the ADMINISTRATION
vt the law, and | believe that strong
public sentiment demands that the lcsisla-
tive confederation Of the subject shall not
be longer postponed. We have no pun.

ANY settlement better than none.

The Richmond Wing having announced the
sweeping proposition that, ''any settlement, so
it be fixed and stable, will be better than no
settlement, the Lynchburg Neaos enters its
earnest protest against it, and very properly
remarks that, ''our political troubles may be
settled on basis to which our present condition
would be infinitely preferable. A settlement
may be reached, which though fixed and
STABLE, would be thousand times worse ethan
the present uncertainty, confusion, chaos. !"
Military rule may be, and is undoubtedly, a
CALLING yoke to bear, it shocks every idea of
liberty which we have inherited from our
English ancestors, and outrages every principle
of free government which we have been taught
to revere But to this Lowest DEPTH" there
is undoubtedly ''lowest deep" There is a
curse more blighting and deadly STILL There is
a social and political condition, compared with
which our present status is happiness itself
Military rule is absolute and tyrannical, but
those who administer it are responsible to their
superiors-they can be held to reckoning
when they exercise their powers in a vindictive,
and oppressive and malevolent manner. Rad
ical rule is equally tyrannical, more vindictive,
more irresponsible, more malignant.
We cannot believe that the people of Virginia
have fallen so low as to make a virtue of their
degradation, and willingly proclaim in advance,
that they will gladly submit to any indignity,
wrong, or outrage, which the dominant Radical
party may choose to inhict upon them, provid-
ed only they have the assurance that it is a
permanent settlement.

The Conspiracy.

The report of the Acting Attorney General
to the President of the United States upon the
application of Charles A. Durham, a convicted
perjurer, for pardon, discloses one of the most
nefarious schemes ever projected in this coun-
try. The object was to implicate President
johnson in the conspiracy to murder President
Lincoln.
After Durham, alias Conover, was convicted
of perjury, Ashley, the chief impeacher, held
regular intercourse with him, to suggest a
scheme for the implication of the President
Letters of Ashley are produced, so that it will
be too late to plead that Durham is convict.
Every unprecedented man will decide that Ash
lev is the greater scoundrel of the two.

a word, we assert that the pulpit of the South,
so far as we know, is not liable to the charge of
either disloyalty or sedition against the Govern
ment of the United States.
On the contrary, we are conscious of having
adhered strictly and constantly to our ecclesias-
teal functions, and have studiousy avoided all
complication of our pulpits with the political
issues of the day.
This is our testimony and our record, and we
calmly submit the declaration thereof to the
world.

Methodist Church Case.

Some months since, in the trial of the case
involving the right of property in the Metho-
dist Church in Lewisburg, Greenbrier county,
w. Va, Judge Harrison, in the Circuit Court
of that county, rendered his decision in favor of
the claimants belonging to the NJ. E. Church
North.
An appeal was taken to the Court of Appeals
of that State, which has recently rendered its
decision confirming the decision of Judge Har-
rison in the Circuit Court. The Greenbrier
Independent says that 'the old membership
who bought and paid for the property, num-
bering about two hundred, are to be turned out
of their house of worship to give place to half
dozen, perhaps, who contributed but little, if
anything, to its purchase or construction. .
This is the kind of justice dispensed in re-
constructed State. Hail, glorious and benef-
cent reconstruction Who does not desire it?
