''the fattery JUNCTION to it's soul, that the

turn round and vote for those with whom they
have lived and expect to live, who, on that
score, will be no more Objectionable than al
lies, who balk at the pinch of the hill Hav-
ing the power, they are not likely to use it
altogether for the benefit Of the white Radicals
South, and in some of the Northern States
The Richmond Wing is down severely upon
what it calls the white .agitators' in Virginia,
who,it says, are struggling for office, and who
have no hope Of attaining it in any other way,
are endesvoring to separate the two races, at
the risk OF a war Of races, 10 order that there
may be no other white men save themselves who
can get the vote of the colored people" The
Wing goes ol to say: these men are not only
the enemies Of the original lnion men, but the
betrayers Of the whole black race, and the dis
turbers Of the peace Of the whole country
This great evil has to be corrected before any
thing worthy the name of reconstruction can
be done, and it will have to BE- done by North
ern influence 10 some form or shape. We
would all rather live for ever unler military
rule than have snch creatures as these to rule
over u.s." This is talking right ont" and
considering the recent course and the present
position Of the Wing, will be read with interest
The reasoning OF the Charlottesville Chronicle
as to the impossblity, after what has passed,
Of cooperation" or afilation on the part of
the Conservative people Of this State, with the
Radical party in Virginia-either the Bolts or
Huonicntt wng-as political party and for
party political purposes-is conclusive. The
late attempt to effect this, was such total
failure, as amounted to demonstration,
and carried conviction to the minds of those
who made the attempt, or were willing to see
it succeed But this is an entirely different
matter from obeying the laws, throwing no
difficulties in the way Of "reconstruction" as
directed by law, and submitting reaceably and
quietly to the requirements of the constituted
government of the country. There can be but
two parties 10 this State, now, and for long
time to con e-the Conservatives and the Rad
icas-and it is the duty and policy Of the Con-
servatiVes to act under the laws and by he

.Fun., in the English Nav.

The horse-play of the English youth an
her Msjesty's naval service makes one Ii
ment the disuse of the cat-o'-nine tails, and
almost regret the good old practice OF Civ
ing round dozen for every petty misde-
meanor. Maryatt made great deal of fun
in his novels of the pretty customs aboard
men-o- war, but Mr.. Ten-ThousandT Top
sail-Sheet- Blocks never recorded so gross
an act as one which transpired on board
the Phoebe, q steam corvette of twenty -one
guns which has been lately fitting out at
Plymouth for the West Indies and the
young gentleman fourteen years of
age, the junior midshipman. This poor
boy had not been on board the cor
vette three days before some of his
fellow officers lashed him down to table,
or to the carriage of gun, so that he could
not stir muscle, and then with sharp in
strument cut upon his nose the figure of
the broad arrow" and, rubbing gunpow-
der into the wound, they '.tattooed" it in
delibly. Not only has infamous torture
been inflicted. but the lad must wear dis
figuring brand all his life long-a thick
black line down the ridge of his nose, and
over each nostril Nothing could obliter-
ate the mark except cruel and continuous
operation, attended by the utmost pain;
and the efficacy even of that remedy is at
the best. doubtful. These abominable
bullies, being sailors, knew the pro-
cess well, and they have probably
stamped the badge too deep for
it to be erased. The ill-used youth
complained to the Captain of the Phoebe.
and that gentleman, on making inquiries,
and discovering the ring-leader, at once
ordered the fellow to regard himself as dis
missed from her Majesty's service with dis
grace. The offense was aired in the House
of Commons, but speakers and newspapers
declared the account exaggerated, spoke of
it as harmless ''hazing," and tried to gently
pooh-poot it out of sight. In spite of de-
NAL, however, the truth of the original
statement appears to be maintained, and it
stands in the navy records in the same
category that Lord Earnest Vane Tempest's
abomiDable treatment of a fellow-soldier
occupies in those of the army. Both indi-
cate the idea of mirth entertained by the
unlicked cubs of that bright little, tight
little, brutal little isle of the ocean.

Something About Eggs.

The farmers saying, that "eggs is eggs"
must find apt expression in the markets OF
Paris. In that city, according to an Eng
lish paper, eggs are sold i'll baskets which
ought to contain one thousand and forty
good specimens. These are examined and
counted by the official agent, the dechet or
loss verified, at the wish of the purchaser,
and the size of each egg further gauged by
being passed through ring. For these
several processes there is a charge oil
twenty-five, sixty and fifteen sous pei
Thousand, respectively. ID aT
In California, by-th e-by, they have an ca :
sier and tar quicker way of arriving at a
result, similar to this, in egg valuation
They sell them there by wefght-so much
per pound avoirdupois; and, as bad egg
is rather lighter than good one, there is
, less temptation to foist an unsound article
upon the customer. Why could not this
latter system be proftably introduced into
our markets? We offer the sugg estion in
the interest, chiefly of the consumer. but
no honest vender would be prejudiced by
its adoption. LI'f13 ~
