We noticed last week conference in Rich
mond, between prominent Northern Repub-
licans and several of that party in this State,
the object being to fuse the Bolts and Hun
nicutt factions of this State. In our late ex-
changes we find the call of Bolts, Hunnicutt,
Wardwell & Co., for convention to be held
in Richmond on August the LIST, Of all the
I" Unconditional Union men Of the State"
and in which they proclaim themselves mem
bers of the 'great Republican party Of the
United States" In the list published with
this call we find the names of several, who
anterior to, and even after the war would
have disdained the idea of affiliation with me-
groes as derogatory to their character and
standing, who in all probability now will sit
in convention with them There are but
two conclusions at which we can arrive,
which could induce this action on their part
either their hatred to Democracy or their de-
sire for the loaves and fishes.
From this however, we can not fail to see
that if our people are not equal to the emer-
gency and do not, by registering, place
themselves in the attitude of voters, Virgin
ia will be given over to radical rule and her
fate be worse than that of poor Tennessee.

The Select Council of Philadelphia met on
the 18th to consider the action of the Com
mon Council welcoming the President on his
contemplated passage through that city, en-
route for Boston. A warm debate ensued
and the resolutions of the Common Council
were strenuously opposed When the nam
question was put, no quorum was present.
the Republicans having withdrawn and the
President of the Council declared it adjourn
ed. Boston invites the President to visit
that city, but Philadelphia throws obstacles
in the way Of even welcoming him on his
passage through the city, because he favors
npholding the Constitution, which prcscribes
fair dealing to the unfortunate South, and
yet mourns over the loss of her Southern
trade. Is it any wonder her trade in the
South is diminished, when, in every act she
bseathes the direst emnity to our unfortunate
people!

The Virginia Oyster Law.

The Virginia oyster law is stigmatized by
the Norfolk TirSinion as "a burning disgrace, -
and Generous aud unjust" to the large portion
of our community engaged in taking and car
ryiug oysters. It's operation has driven from
our shores to Maryland and immense trade.
while the more liberal policy of the latter is
securing large revenue to the State, besides
forming the nucleus of thriving branch of
commerce.
When this law is repealed it will draw
capital among US, and we will be gladdencd
with the sight of the white winged messen-
gers of commerce in our waters waiting car
goes of the delicious bivalves, for which Vir-
ginia is SO justly famous. 1t is no use stand
ing any longer in our own light by perststing
in such suicidal ideas as to believe that Vir-
ginia-is the only place on the face of the earth
whose waters abound with shell-Rsh Mary
land, in this respect, is our competitor, but
we have the advantage in knowing that we
have the largest resources, and therefore.
ought to be literally disposed in proportion
to their size. Our oyster-be are inexhaust-
ible, and judiciously managed, in the course
of time will become the greatest source of

RAILRoAD EsHETIMG

On Monday the 24tn day of December,
the people Of Page county held meeting in
I.uray, for the purpose of giving expression
to their views relative to the propriety and
practicability of railroad to pass through
that county. The Committee appointed for
the purpose reported the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted =
BhcTcG$, We believe that our agricultural
interest will be promoted and our great min
eral resources, which are unsurpassed by any
in the State of Virginia, will be developed
by the construction of u Railroad through the
county of Page, therefore,
ReSOtucd, That we do hereby instruct orr
Senator and Delegate to use all honorable
means to procure from the General Asso mbly
of Virginia charter for Railroad, from
uarper's Ferry, up the Shenandoah river by
the towns of Luray, Staunton, Lexington,
buchanan and Fincastle, to suitable point
of connection with the Virginia and Tennes-
soc Railroad, at or near the town of Salem,
Roanoke county, with a branch TO Harrison
burg, in the county of Rockingham.
1t is highly gratifying to witness the inter-
est which is beirg manifested by the people
of the Luray aud Shenandoah Valleys, in the
construction of a grand valley railroad, and
we trust the day is not far distant when the
shrill whistle of the steam horse will be heard
resembling in the beautiful county of Page
Her people deserve such en- improvement, not
only on account of their enterprise, but be-
cause of their steadfastness to principle and
their devotion to old Virginia aud her utter
ests.
A Valley Railroad is what we want, and
country now loRguishing for market will
be made to blossom as the rose With such
a road, and the energy and system which
marks the administration of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, the resources of the great
Valley would be rapidly developed, and
thrifty population would pour in upon her
to add to the wealth and glory Of the Old
Dominion.

uYPOCRICY.

New England hypocricy is we'll illustrated
in the howl she is making over the sale of
some frec negroes in Maryland, for the COM
mission of various offences of which they
were found guilty, and as punishment were
sold for the term of six months to the high
est biddcr-the negroes themselves preEerring
Ito Incarceration in the penitertiary For
this the authorities of Maryland have been
subjected to the vilcst abuse from the aboli-
tion press, and the usual pious howl has been
set upS 1t happens, however, that about the
same time these lazy louis of negroes were sold
for the crime Of theft, a sale of a different
character was made in a Connecticut town,
notof persons convicted of crime, but of two
old and infrm white persons, man and wife,
whom the pieus philanthropists, under the
laws of that State are permitted to dispose of
to the 1O,oest bidder, to prevent them from
becoming parish charges, the exceeding Lu-
lnanity of which proceeding being. eighteucd
by the fact chat difference ofoa cent in the
bids was sufficient to separate man and wife
Of course the quantity and quality of food
furnished these poor unfortunatcs is in pro-
portion to the amount Of. work which can be
forced out of them by their masters. Com
ment is useless.

THE DETERMINED GEORGE.

Elsewhere We have said our say about "thc
gentle Thadeus," and while thus talking Of
great men who leave their footprints on the
sands of time, We are reminded Of the deter
mined George, i. c. George Koonce, the de-
feated candidate for 'e the Foreman concern,
ont at Wheeling" George, as soon as the
polls were counted, and he was marked among
the outs" by the result thereof, said that
he was determined to go to the Legislature.
1t made no difference to him whether the Su-
pervisors declared somebody else elected OF
not he was abound to go to Wheeling and
if he was not ftto sit in the Assembly out
there, he was fit to hit Hounshell over the
head when Houn's arms were held by divers
of d. .G.'s brethren in the Legislature. Well,
Yantis beat Koonce as handsomely before the
people, votingly speaking, as our young friend
from Harpcr's Ferry beat him at Shepherds
town a few weeks previous, eye-ball-bim-ly
speaking. The determined George knows
full we'll that he was fairly beaten by Yantis:
yet he has made up his own mind, and Joe
Chapline's too, that his brother RAIDS in the
Foreman concern shall GUST Yantis and put
in koonce. It makes no difference to the d.
G: whether the polls are right or wrong, or
whether he is fit 20 represent Jefferson or not.
lie is bound to get into the Legislature, and
if he cannot get into it by the voters of the
county, he will get into it by the voters from
the other counties that make up the delight
fSl little State, so-called, West Virginia.
We are sorry for the voters of Jefferson; we
are sorry for Yantis, and we, of course, arc
glad for the determined George, and although
We are anxious for the Supreme Court to
hurry up our county status now before it, we
hope it will wait till d. G. draws his whole per
diem out of Boreman's stolen pocket.book.

That warm hearted, generous ola man, who
represents the Lancaster (Pa.) district in the
lover house Of Congress, went home during
the Christmas holidays, and Toasted upon the
fat things of the land, and imhibed. the mel
lowest of wines, After cnjoying himself
hesEtily in this way for more than a week, he
has come back to the capitol with his heart
OVERLOOKING in kindness and charity to all
mankind, and especially towards the whites
of the South, whom the war has left not only
without fat things aud wine, but without many
of the necessarics Of Efe-numbcrs Of them
without anything Of their former homes save
the debris that fires could not burn, and the
Buffers could not steal. The war has left no
sores upon the. gentle Thadeus. Even his
destroyed iron works. and his lost mules, have
left his temper unrufRed, and his heart as
melting as in days of yorc. He, indeed, has
increased his love for his fellow men, with
lis increasing years, which remind him that
as be is seents stand before his Maker and
ask for mercy, it is becoming in him to mark
his last acts in life with a charity that never
faileth, and love for his neighbor that is
ever Astounding. OH how the thanks of all
living IoyaE Southerners are yelling up to
this wonderful old man, and how his praises
will be sung by generations yet unborn. We
hope his days may be long in the land, but if
it should be othcrwisc-if he should be taken
away in.the:e days of his warmly gushing
peighborly love, he may. carry with him the
comfortable assurance that he will be wept.
