The Virginia state Convention.


The Virginia Legislature evidently
did not think it derogatory to the hon
or of the old Commonwealth, which
for four years bore the brunt of the
war, to take prompt action with view
to the holding of Convention under
the recent act of Congress, conscious
if the terms were cruel and unjust, the
odium rested not upon her, but upon
the foe who was ungenerous enough to
exact them. The bill which passed
her Senate, by vote of "a to 3,
calling State Convention to frame a
constitution, under the act, provided
that the Governor shall, on or before
the 10th Of April, appoint three COM
missioners in each county, or ward, or
corporation, who shall, on the first
Thursday of May next, open polls at
all places Of voting in the Common
wealth, for the purpose of electing
delegates to meet in convention in the
city of Richmond on the third Monday
of May next, to form a constitution of
government in conformity with said
act of Congress.
The bill passed in the House by an
equally decisive vote with an amend
ment embodying declaration of the
unconstitutionality of the act of Con-
gress; but has not become law be-
cause the Commissioners appointed by
the Legislature to confer with the pow
ers at Washington, reported that Con
gress would dispense with the neces-
sity of State action by passing a sup
Elemental act requiring elections to be
held by order of the district command
ers.

SYMPTOMS.

The symptoms of Catarrh are at first very
slight. Persons find they have cold, that
they have frequent attacks, and are more sem
sitive to the changes of temperature. In this
condition the nose may be dry, or slight dis
charge, thin and acrid, afterwards thick and
adhesive, may ensue.
AS the disease becomes chronic, the dis
charges are increased in quantity and changed
in quality; they are now thick and heavy, and
are hawked or coughed off. The secretions
are offensive, causing bad breath; the voice
thick and nasal: the eyes are weak; the sense
of smell is lessened or destroyed; deafness
frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom OF
Catarrh is, that the person is obliged to clear
his throat III the morning Of slick or Shiny
mucous, which has fallen from the head du-
ring the night. When this takes place, the
person may be sure that his disease is on its
way to the lungs, and should lose no time IN
arresting it.
The above are but few of the many Catarrh-
al symptoms. Write to our Laboratory for

\ SOFT Word T,.rncts, AWAY anr,,


The Rochester N. " Union, in
commenting upon the contemplate
conduct of Gen. Griffin in refusing
to permit the obsequics of the Ia
mcntcd Gen. Albert Sidney John
ston, in Galveston, gives the follow
ing tribute to his worth:
Sidney Johnston was a great sol
dlcr-probably the ablest in The old
army at The time the rebellion broke
out. lie was q kentuckian, but he
had endeared himself to the Texans
by resigning his commission in the
United States service, in 1884, and
entering that of the Republic hay
ing been the Adjutant- General and
the senior Brigadier- General Of its
army, subsequently, its Secretary of
War, then, before returning to the
regular army, the colonel Of its first
regiment raised for our war against
Mexico, and lastly, its champion in
the attempt at secession. The pco-
pie of the South had the same regard
for him that they now have for all
their public men who led them in
support of the cause for which he
died. They will always entertain
that feeling, and their children after
them for generations will have it i'm
bued in them. Individual treason,
which proceeds from base motive
can be made odious; but the collec-
tive treason OF compact millions, &C
cUpy 3 vast section Of country,
With all the clements Of empire in
and about them, and who simply
seek to assert tho theory OF self
government for themselves to be
found in the Confederate Constitu-
ton. leaving other similarly situated
people to govern themselves in their
own way, can never be made odions-
never. Those involved in it will
make it respectable in spite of all
human power. The spreading mil
lions Of Southern offspring will never
admit that their fathers did aught
that should bring the blush to their
cheek. The names of the prominent
actors in the rebellion will always be
slori1ied by them, and the cause that
IS lost Will ever be held in their esti-
nation as one worthy of the highest
cXertions and greatest sacrifices of a
free aud enlightened people. We
arc not accounting for or iustifying
facts, but simply stating them that
they may be recognized, and that, i'll
view of them, thoughtful men may
ask themselves whether it is the part
OF wisdom to be making the futile
attempt to eradicate from the hearts
OF ihc Southern people what has
come to be Il part Of their very na-
ture, as the Gen Grit1ins in the army
and in civil stations are doing. Such
attempts serve to drive in rather
than drive out the Objectionable SEN
tlment. and to perpetuatc feud that
will make us forever two peoples.
The South fought for theory Of
government. We did nothing more
They were bcaten-wc triumphed
They stand convinced against their
will, and all the laws that can be de-
yised by the ingenuity of man can
exact nothing more from them than
the Submission they now yield.
Kindness, Cancellation, and respect
for their manhood, can alone change
the Southern heart and direct its NJ
lection towards union which now
has only the assent of its cold judg-
ment based upon the circumstance of
necessity.

4 LATE SPRING. We are disposed
to prognosticate late and backward
spring, and to suggest to planters
and gardeners the propriety of suit
ing the arrangements accordingly.
Our reasons are far from being con
elusive, but, on the whole, us much
RS any reasoning upon so uncertain a
topic rs the weather can be. We
look for late spring because we had
"a very late and open fall, and the or
dinary duration of winter weather
wonld therefore protract it later in
spring than usual. 4 second reason
is the unusual severity of the winter
Th" frost king has held stronger
and more undivided empire over us
than usual, and will naturally dispute
possession longer Some men
skilled in woodcraft, and familiar
with the prognostics indicated by
the vegetable world, point out a good
many strong indications of back
ward spring, which we will not emu
mcratc.
All anticipate a fruitful first,
IN the way of compensation from a
beneiiccnt Providence for the barren
ness Of last year; and, secondly. be
cause severe winter, by destroying 9
the insect foes Of vegetation, goes
far to insure the safety Of crops OF
all kinds. Nncou JoiuW0l

FINANCIAL NJ MEASURES IN CONGRESS-.
| We may Judge, from the general tone
! of the commercial press, that some
/ changes i'll regard to laws relative to
the currency and banking organiza-
tons by the present Congress are
expected. Many of the New York
papers nrge the adoption of the sink
ing fund and currency bill reported
from the Committee on Banking and
Currency. Tie New York La,3gpead-
cat, ot the 31st uliimo, says:
"Ehe tone of the money market is
very weak still. Mr.. Randalls bill
before Congress, for the substitution
OF greenbacks for national bank cur
rcncy, finds great favor in the street,
which fears only its not passing,
though the probability is that it will.
1t is measure that will tend to
strengthen the market, and will with
draw a number of weak banks from
competition. There IS 4 dcarth of
business in tho West and South, with
large over-stoclls OF goods, which is
accompanied with q great want of
currency. The city banks are con
tracing their loans; and their stock
VI SIcCubdctS, us Well as OF deposits,
is running down. large margins on
securities deposited for loans are dc
manded, and loans arc restricted
more and more. Seven per cent. is
the rate. The market seems to be in
the very tlroos of labor, threatening
still more serious disturbance and de-
velopmcnts. Relief will hardly come
I'LL Congress separates. If it would
pass Randall's bill and adjourn, re-
lief would come all the sooner
On the other hand. the New York
Ff"07ciM Chronicle, of the 2d inst.
remarks as follows:
We believe that, in we'll informed
circles at Washington, it is regarded
as certain that no currency legislation
whatever has the slightest probability
OF passing. This belief has contri-
huted to recovery from the late panic.
y Could this expectation be
realized, we shall probably have no
more severe financial panics Tor some
time to come, if, at least, our business
men can bepcrsuaded to rcpress over
speculation and undue expansions of
credit
