had a very remarkable dream, which we here

Chestnut Ridge, and after walking about a
good while over the hill, we sat down near the
top to rest. Presently we heard a rumbling

After little that stopped, and then door
upper side of the Hill stood a large chestnut
tree, on the body of which, about fifteen feet
from the ground, there suddenly appeared

We saw one man in the crowd that very
much resembled Gen. Early he was about the
same make-not strikingly handsome-full six
feet high, and certainly had on old Jubal's
clothes; and we thought we heard the name of
Mosby called, but never having seen the Gen

UNCONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

FRIDAY, March 27.-The vote by which the
report of the Committee on education was taken
up as whole was reconsidered, and the report
was then taken up by sections
The first section was amended and the amend
ments discussed at great length. and was finally
adopted as follows, by vote of 81 ayes to "a
noes
Sec. |. The general assembly shall elect, in
Joint ballot, within thirty days after it's organiza
ton under this constitution, and every. fourth
year thereafter, superintendent of public IN
struction. He shall have the general supervl
sion of the public free school interests OF the
State, and shall report to the general assembly
for its consideration, with thirty days after his
election, plan for uniform system of public
free schools.
The second section was adopted. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Sec 2. There shall be board of education,
composed of the governor, superintendent OF
public instruction and attorney general, which
shall appoint, and have power to remove (for
cause an upon notice to the incumbent) sub
| ject to confirmation by the Senate, all county
! superintendents of public free schools. This
| board shall have, regulated by law, the man.
| agement and investment of all school funds, and
| such supervision of schools Of higher grades as
| the law shall provide.
''Sec. 3. The General Assembly shall provide
Dy law dJ lJS uTSI SeSSlOH
uniform system of public free schools, and for
its gradual, equal, and full introduction into all
the counties of the State by the year 1876, or
as much earlier as practicable.
Mr. French offered the following as an addi
ton to the third section: ''Rrouided, That in
no case shall white and colored children be
taught at the same time and in the same house.
This was postponed until the report should have
been acted upon.
Uncle Specs spread himself on this PROPOSE
ton He didn't want to see no such claw in it !;
and de fust thing we knew, der would be a
similar claws regards waship (wor hip) Ez fer
dis. this thing of mxin' children together, all
he had to say was dat dere was worser pany
of white children dan he wished his children to
be wild and desc was secesh children. He
wanted loil school and loil children. But he
didnt want dis claw to commodate de prejudlces
of rebels and seceshes. He considered himself
as high over a rebel and traitor ez heaven was
over hell. He was gwine off home dis morning,
but de boat left him by half hour, and he knew
God had some reason for keepin' him here, and
now he had done found out what at was.
Bayne was red hot on this subject, and op-
posed vehemently dis old slavery notion OF hav-
ing two school-houses whar one would do.
Mr.. Gibson offered the following as an addi-
tional section:
There shall be separate schools for white chill
dren and for colored children, and the capita
ton tax derived from white polls shall be de-
voted exclusively to education In white schools
and that from colored polls to education In col
ored schools.

Getting back on "any terms" !"

There are certain set of politicians who de
clare with great emphasis that we should by all
means get back into the Union ION any terms,
and then set to work to restore our State gov
ernment, by making ourselves ''felt' in Con
gress.
This is such absolute nonsense that we are
astounded to hear it fall from the lips or pen Of
any sane man, nor can we listen to, or hear 1t
without grave doubts either of the sanity or
honesty of the authors of the opinion. The
New York Times is of this class, and We will not
affront the intelligence Of that journal by sup
posing it is anything else but dishonest In the
advice which it gives us in its impression OF the
24th That paper knows perfectly we'll that If
we allow ourselves to be saddled with the in
famous constitution fashioned in Richmond,
that we will be placed in position where we
will enjoy the high honor and unspeakable pleas
ure of voting, if we vote at ALL for men who
can take all manner of test oaths for the Bow
dens and Baynes, the Porters and Hodges, the
Hunnicutts and Underwoods. How these crea-
lures are to make us ''felt" in Congress passes
our wisdom, and we think it would puzzle Mr..
Raymond to show what interest any honest man
in Virginia has in their elevation to Office
The reverse is the case 1t is our policy to stay
out and remain under the rule OF the bayonet
sooner than that of the burglar. Nothing can
be palmer than this, and we trust our friends
in town and country will spurn the idea of plac
ing themselves In position where they Will be
constrained to take negro on the one hand, OF
a mean white man on the other to represent
them"
This is the logical consequence of getting back
on ''any terms. '-NoytoHt Virgsnian.

Thad Stevens wife is colored woman, who
was the wife of negro barber in Harrisburg
from whom Thad stole her. Of course 1t Is
natural he should want his mulatto children
made the equals of white children, civilly, poll
tically, socially, &C., sit side by side at schools,
and all the rest of his negro nastinesses OF Rad-
cal legislation But how any other man, as
Governor Peirpoint for example, whose mother
and wife and daughters are Uhite people, should
desi.e to degrade them and their children to the
level of interiors, seems to us horrible treason
to the name and memory of his mother, and an
insult to his wife and daughters-as well as open
apostacy to his own race. Surely, the educate ed
men among the Radicals will pause before they
finally consent to and sanction the infamies oil
this proposed Constitution. The low, base,
ignorant white knaves may, from want of sense,
turn into negroes in order to gain temporary
power and pay but why any other white man,
who is not an office seeker, should be Radi-
