GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Wednesday was an
other working-day in the Senate. Nearly all
the bills passed, however, were Of merely indi-
vidual or local interest.
The message of the Governor in reference
to selling the stock and bonds Of the railroad
companies, and taking pay in State bonds, is an
important document, or may become so. The
Governor proposes to try the measure with the
roads on the Southslde of James river first.
The bill in regard to the State debt received
considerable attention, and the substitute
offered by MIR. Lee contains some features not
before introduced in any of the several bills
The most striking of these are the proposition
to pay per cent. on the debt; to pay interest
on the whole debt; and to issue the notes of
the State as simple due bills for any part of
such interest as the treasurer may not have
money to pay. It argued that these due bills
will 10 some extent serve the purpose of cur.
rency, if made receivable for taxes as is propos-
ed. The bill is the unfinished business of the
day and comes up again to-day.
In the House, resolution was offered in
structipg the Committee for Courts of JUS
tice to report Homestead Bill without delay,
which resolution was referred to the same
committee. The hour of meeting was charged
to ] | O. clock a. NJ. A motion to reconsider
resolution adverse to securing certain rights to
married women was rejected. A message from
the Governor relative to the exchange of State
stock in internal improvement companies for
State bonds, was received. The bill 10 provide
TOR the completion of line or lines of railway
from the waters of the Chesapeake to the
Ohio river, was taken up as the order of the
day, and discussed by Mr. Baldwin in favor
and Messrs. Garnett and Crump in opposl-
ton to the measure. The House adjourned
without disposing OF the bill.-RicA Enquirer.

Gov. Orr on "the Situation. y

CHARLESTON, Feb. 1.-the anniversary
banquet Of the Charleston Chamber OF Com
mercc came off last night. Gov. Orr SPOKE
and in the course Of his remarks, said:
"Our political relations are ola very grave
character. [ have recently been IN position
where had an opportunity OF consulting with
many of those who control the Government.
I saw to YOU in all frankness that it is dlthcult
to tell what our political position in the future
is to be. Gentlemen from the Southern States
and particularly those from North Carolina,
from Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and
Texas, were of opinion that some scheme that
could be suggested might be the means at least
Of securing the support OF the conservative
portion OF the Radical party hence the schchc
which you have seen presented. 1t was not
supposed that it would meet the favor or the
extremists, but that it would meet the views OF
more moderate men. La their personal re'a-
tons [ feel it my duty to say they received me
kindly, treated me COurte0uSly, ana manifested
every disposition to have perfect and com
pletc settlement. Bat some OF these same
gentlemen, when next they went into the nails
of Congress, would indulge IN speeches OF the
most violent character My own judgment Is
if the Legislature of North Carolina adopts the
programme with any degree OF unanlmlty II
Arkansas adopt: this amendment; If the other
Southern States adopt it or manifest any dis
position to adopt it, it will produce the best
results upon considerable portion Of the Rad,
ica party and save the South from many OF
the proposed radical measures. know a
great many of our people are in favor OF fold
ing their arms. They say, we are in the pow.
er OF these people, let them do as they please. -
do not believe in any such doctrine: | am
net one of the dignity sort. | have believed
in our doing something for ourselves. l have
believed in indicating to this people that there
is no sul!cnncss at least on the part OF the pco-
PIE of the South :; that We are prepared to give
them all honorable guarantees to secure their
rights in the Government; and when we DID
so we at least challenged the respect OF the
honest portion Of that party. have lent my
self for two long years to produce that result .;
whether it will follow do not know In tax
! ing the position | occupy it was to serve the
| people of South Carolina, and | intend to con-
tinue to serve them; and notwithstanding the
| growl of grumblers shall not be swaycd from
| the performance Of my duty upon that line,

| be fully compensated for any sacrifices that
may have been made If it fails | shall feel

TIE CosT-Speaking of the Radical policy
Of territorializing the South, and putting her
under military rule, the Washington Constitu-
tonal Union holds the following language
which should be warning to those who arc
rushing the country on to destruction:
''That policy imperatively demands large
standing army in the South ; and to support
such an army, fresh and grievous taxes must
be imposed upon a people whom humorous
Congressman are in the habit Of calling 1.-THE
best taxed people on earth.''

ALEXANDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY Is.

We commented week or two ago, on that
kind of conservatism at the North, which had
permitted so many outrages against public lib
erty, during the War, to 90 unopposed and even
unrebuked, (when they could have been effect
ally stopped, and the bitter fruits of which we
were now realizing in time of peace-that is,
in time when there is no armed resistance to
the government, DO failure to submit to the
laws as they are passed, and every disposition
manifested, in the South, to bring about civil
harmony. The Baltimore Gazette has an artis
Gle extending this comment to the course OF
many OF the Northern conservatives ut h'S
time. There is truth and justice in what 1t
says. If the same determination shown by the
Radicals, had marked the language and conduct
of the so called Conservatives referred to, Tor
the last year, very different state of things
from that which now exists would prevail
There are teao noble spirits in Congress, who
do not quail before the threats Of the Radicals.
All honor to them But there are others in
that body and out of it, who are conscious that
the destructive policy of the Radical leaders is
every way ruinous to the country, and yet who
succumb to the orders of the Radical leaders,
or but family or feebly resist them, and halt
acquiesce in what they know to be wrong
The Winchester Times, speaking Of the late
Rev. E. r. Veitch, says he entered the Balti-
more Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in 1881, and had been engaged in the
regular work of the ministry ever since-a
period of thirty-six years. In the councils of
the church his services were regarded as in
valuable; and his deep riety and esrnestness
made him an efficient instrument in prospecting
the cause in which he labored He was
delegate to the late General Conference at New
Orleans, and at the time of his death was pre-
siding elder of the Winchester district.

sPURGEoN.-John G. SAKE in recent
letter from London to the Boston Post
says:
On Sunday evening, l heard the IA
nous Spurgeon preach in his own Taber-
nacle to congregation of not less than
seven thousand souls. l confess to have
been greatly disappointed. His manner
is not in the least Cockneyish-as he
neither disembowels his syllables nor
ex. .sspirates his H's. His elocution Is
remarkably distinct and unaffected, and
seemed that of an earnest, conscientious
preacher. was constantly reminded OF
Beecher during the sermon, though the
Englishman resembles the American only
In his abundant and forcible use of sim
lies drawn from every day of life. For
the rest he struck me as having less
originality and more reverence; while
his voice far surpasses in power and
compass that OF any other orator ever
listened to. Indeed, the most remark.
able thing about the man is his ability
no contemplate advantage-to be dis
tinctly heard, without bawling, for forty
minutes together, by number OF more
than ten times larger than the usual
congregations OF a popular divine. The
audience, gathered mainly from the
working classes, like those Of Wesley
and Whitefeld, seemed thoroughly at
tentive, and in spite of my very great
distaste for much of his theology, can
not doubt that this earnest, though
somewhat eccentric preacher, is one OF
the most useful men in England.
