virtuous indignation against Geo. F.
Jones bill, and the Legislature that
passed it. Citizens will remember that
last year R. n. Daggett and 10. Good
man were on the City Central Commit
tee, and that they went to work and de-
liberately packed a Convention for the sole
purpose Of fastening Geo. F. Jones on
the people Of Virginia again, as Mayor
of that city. And but for the exposures
and the opposition made by the News,
i. is notorious they would have sue
ceeded. As it was, their packed con-
v~entiou wal bursted, and not Jones but
Piper was elected Mayor, by the people.
The bill making Jones q preferred cred
itor is a bad bill, and we are assured by
a member Of our delegation who OPP
posed it, that it would have been beat
en- but for the fact that the Enterprise
made objection TO it. It is true, that
venal sheet had only a single small par
agrsph against it, and that q kind Of
rice-water affair, but many legislators
had come to the fixed and inerasible
conclusion, that whatever the Enterprise
showed opposition to must be right.
And i, Was exceedingly difficult, and AL
most impossible to successfully combat
this idea. Outside members said-Sen-
ators and Assemblymen from other
counties, said: "Why-Jones' bill must
be right, for the Entsrprise seems to OPP
pose it," 1t is true that some Of them
recognized the small card Of objection,
AS a notice to Jones to call At the office
and settle; but the majority were not
quite so familiar with the ways Of the
concern. The mine-tax bill would
have been ignominiously defeated
if the Enterprise had not opposed it at
the outset. It is the simple truth, that
toward the close of the regular and all
during the extra session, the favor OF
that venal journal invariably defeated a
measure in the Legislature and so its
opposition was always to be desired BY
the friends of q bill. This opposition
was u great help toward success, espe-
cially. on local bills. The legislators
would say, Did not that dirty dog
Dogget, introduce = bill into the Legis-
lature, of '6+," s~windling the State out
Of SEQ, 900? Is not that notorious?
Can we not, as il were, see the 'Tindle,
from the windows Of the Capitol? And
he is one Of the creatures who edit the
Enterprise ?" ''You could not deny this
Then they would recount how Doggett
and Goodman tried to pack Jones in AS
Mayor and so kept up the history to q
presumptive conclusion that its opposi.
ton WAS only to good men and meas
ures, except when they could get advsn-
tsge by other conduct.
McCuLLouGH's BENEFIT. - Piper's
Opera House was crowded, last night,
on the occasion of Mr.. McCullough's
benefit. The play, a announced, was
Hamlet, and it was far better performed
than ever before in this State. Those
who have heard Anderson in this charac-
ter, and who were present last night at
the theatre, must have remarked the
considerable similarity between that
great actors rendition Of the leading
character and the same as presented by
Mr.. Mccullough. Miss Kingsbury, as
Ophelia, appeared in a character well
adapted to her talent; and she evinced
a true pathetic power in the scene where
she enacts the heart-hroken girl. Miss
Amy Stone did passably we'll, as the
Queen. Mr.. Stone, as the frs, grave
digger, WAS excellent. Mr.. Pardy, as
Polonius, rather over-did his part. As
Laertes, Mr.. Beatty was excellent, Col.
R. II. Taylor, who volunteered for the
occasion, spparisioned as the Ghost"
and so presented the second character
of the play as to enable Mr.. Mccullough
to vastly improve his own acting as
compared with his first production Of
at our theatre. Tho i'm
meuse audience were delighted with the
manner in which the entire performance
was rendered, and the plsudits bestowed
q discriminating and hearty re-
cognition and approval of Mr.. McCul-
reading. "Hamlet,' under the
present cast, can fill Piper's Opera
House again, this mouth. Romeo and
is the play programmed for to-
night-Mr. Mccullough, as Romeo, and
Miss KiugSbury, as Juliet.
GRAND ANY, We understand
that a preliminary meeting will be held
in Virginia, on Thursday evening next.
Due notice will be given Of the place and
hour. The editor Of the Columbus
Journal, who appears to be "master Of
the situation" gets of the following
spread Of tactics, on the proper evolu-
tions to be gone through with in order
to recognize a member Of this o~rganiza-
ton. II is especial recommended to
those who watched and waited over the
border during the late war. A few
glasses of beer will bring the inquisitor
up to the proper state for opera
ton. He says: The real mailing
sign" is as follows: The person hail
ing makes the sign Of tipping the can
teen. It 10 then the duty Of the
comrade hailed to rally by four,. Num-
Der One then approaches Number Two
in quick time, marching by the flank in
column doubled on the center, at a
parade rest. At a distance Of ten PAGES
he halts and forms q hollow square,
according to the formula laid down in
Babbage's Logarithmus-taking at the
same time the position Of right shoulder
shift at a charge bayonet. Number One
will then strike three taps on u Bass
Drum, when they will embrace each
other by the right Of companies to the
rear into column, and wiggle the little
finger Of the right hand, the thumb be-
ing placed against the end of the nose.
