THE CASE OF VIRGINIA.

Virginia was in the Union, under the
Wheeling and Alexandria Constitu-
tons, during the whole OF the war;
She had the full organization and ma
chinery of n State. She was represent
ed in both Houses of Congress, and re-
cognized by every department of the
government as State, by virtue of her
sovereign assent as State under the
Wheeling Constitution.
1t follows either that Virginia is now
State in the Union or West Virginia
is not. Congress has decided, by in
Guiding Virginia in the reconstruction
acts, that she is not State in the
Union; and Congress yet suffers the
Senators and Representatives from
West Virginia to keep their seats in
both branches of that body.
What a farce this VIII Die thing is
Congress plays with States as a child
plays with rattles. 1t may be that
the eyes of the country will yet be
opened to the iniqnity and fraud shat
have been practiced in the case of Vir-
glnia. We were told that il we would
assent to the Alexandria Constitution,
and recognize the government created
by it, and the officers elected under it :,
we should be recognized as part and
parcel of the Union. We did so; and
Utmost in the twinkling of an eye Con
gress blotted the State out of the Union
in order to bring her in under the au-
spices OF the negroes. This is good
faith. and this Radical craftsmanship.
When they lind that they cannot
cram negro supremacy down our
Threats, they may fall back upon the
Alexandria government. 1t should be
borne in mind that the case of Virginia
is peculiar and unlike that of any other
sister States Of the South. There has
been an iniquity III her ease that has
not been practiced in any othcr.-R.

the mists and clouds with which interested

In regard to the card of Burgess & Key so

suppose that Burgess Key are such con-
summate fools as to exhibit, in the name of
another that which belongs to themselves
The idea that because our Reaper was not

How THE NEGROES TREAT THE WHITE,

Where .he negroes have the political
power ley not only deny the whites
the privilege Of suffrage, but do not al
low them to own land. The Disputed,
says tin Hayti, a negro country, no
white man can own land. lie is dis
tranchised being-a pariah who is re-
probated and forbidden. In the gov
ernment of Liberia, founded by the
white people of America, the laws are
not more liberal. There no one is al
lowed to vote who is not of A frican de-
scent, and no one bit poter can acquire
or possess real estate in the Republic. Thus
no white man can vote or hold real es-
tate in Liberia, Republic which was
as we say, established by the white peo-
pie of this country, and has been the es.
pecial pet of the American philanthro-
pists. And moreover, the United State
Is bound by treaty to protect this Libe-
ria from the hostile ncighbor:ng Afri-
can tribes!
Here is something to reflect upon
This exclusion of white men from Lii
IBERIA was beyond question the suggest
ed policy of the white founders of that
country. 1t grew out of the evident
,ncoinpatibllity of the races, and the
white founders desired to protect their
infant colony from the troubles that as
suredly would follow the intrusion of u
number of whites amongst them.
The same idea was instinctively i'm
pressed upon the Haytiens, and they
have rigidly enforced it since they came
into possession OF the Government by
their numbering the white people to
whom the island had belonged!
Yet what do we behold now? A de-
NAL by the United States Government
of this principle of incompatibility of
the races in the exercise of political pri-
Silcges, and an attempt absolutely to
place the negro in control of tho white
race! SO great an outrage on nature
and common sense has not been known
In the history of government--nor has
there been in the history OF this coun-
try an act which is so disastrous to tho
national peace and the national pros
pcrity as this eniranchislng the black
man and making him voter immedi-
atcly after he is taken out of state of
siavcryi

ADVERTISING.

Do our merchants take their signs
down in the spring or summer time ?
DO they cover up or oblterate their
names on the door posts DO they
cease to converse about their business?
Of course not; and yet they do what
is almost suicidal, they reduce their adj
vertisements, or cease them altogether.
There are few men WHO understand
the benefit of continuous ADVERTISING,
and who are daily reaping the benefit
theretrom, while their neighbors look
on and wonder why their friends should
do SO mnch more business than they
do.-Lynchburg. Ne,cs.

NEWSPAPER LAWS,

Postmasters are required TO give notice by
letter when subscriber does not take his
paper from the office; and give the reason
for lts not being TAKEN. Negleoting to do so
makes the postmaster responsible to the pub
asher for the payment.
Any person who takes paper regularly
from the pOstof1ice, whether he has subscribe
ed or not, is responsible for the payment of
the subscription.
A person ordering his paper discontinued
must pay all arrearages, or the publisher may
and collect the whole amount, whether it is
taken from the office or not.
The courts have decided that refusing to
office, or removing and leaving them uncali-
ed for, Is pri'na facie evidence of Intentional
fraud.

AN UyLUCKY ENGLISH NoBLRMAN.

A London correspondent writes as
follows of Lord Hastings, whose great
losses on the English turf are well
known. The letter was written prior
to the last Derby which, it will be re-
membered, added another to the many
defeats of the sinoble Lord"
If his horse, now first favorite, Lady
Elizabeth, should no. come in first, he
is not only a ruined man, but he will be
branded as a defaulter all over Eng
land. The story of his misfortunes-
for so We will call thcm--is a long and
gloomy one, and last year saw the eli
max of them-unless next Wednesday
is to cast him down a yet deeper abyss.
On the Derby of last year Lord LA St
iugs lost,9100, 000-S500, 900, gold. He
said it, and In October of that year he
lost an additional sum of f49,000, ow-
ing to the unexpected failure of Lady
Elizabeth, who had won everything but
the one race on which her owner had SO
vast stake at issue.
On third race he lost G40,000, and
this broke him down. lie has not yet
been able to pay these debts, and hence
he has been assailed in desperate terms,
and his affairs made known to the
world. There is good deal of sympa-
thy felt for Lord Hastings, on account
OF circumstances which could not be de-
cribed withou& lifting the veil from pri-
vate life morethan would be justlfiable
even in these loose days. IfLady Eliz-
abeth wins next Wednesday Lord Has
tings is saved; and let us hope he will
prove that the bitter lesson he has re-
ceived will not be without its due effect
upon him. He is now only 26 years of
age, and you may remember that he
married the Lady Flora Paget, who
was engaged to Mr.. Chaplain, and pre-
ferred at the last moment to walk out
of a miliner's shop to meet the owner
of Lady Elizabeth. The stories Of ro-
nance are not wilder than have been
the incidents ofthis young nobleman's
life.
1T now turns out. and we have the
statement on very good authority. that
the Marquis of Hastings won 10000 by
the Derby, instead of losing 200 900, as
he was at first reported to have done.l

lEPA Washington correspondent OF
the baltimore Gazette, under date OF the
9th inst, says
"The municipal embroglio is rather
increasing in interest rs matters be-
come complicated. Both Boards held
their meetings to-day, and the Radical
Council following the example set them
yesterday by the Radical Mayor, en-
tered the Council Chamber by force
aud then had the lock taken from the
door. Lock-picking and housc-break-
ing are becoming legitimate amuse-
ments ifnot occupations at the Nation

between the parties is an unequal one,
and the Radicals must hold the power.

SPEAKING AT LOUISA C. H.

On Monday of last week, Hon. A.
II. Ii. Stuart and EX-Gov. VIM. Smith
delivered speeches atlLousa G.. IL. A
correspondent of the Dispatch says that
the negroes were evidently pleased to
be specially addressed by Mr.. Stuart,
and his kind manner and evident fair
ness of statement must have deeply
impressed them.
A correspondent of the Richmond
Wing says Mr.. Stuart was the first to
speak, and by strong and logical ar
gument, proved conclusively to all
present that the damnable instrument
miscalled Constitution, deserved on
ly to be consigned to the keeping of
oblivion. He demonstrated to the ne
groes that the intent of the Yankees in
underwriting to array them against their
white friends of the South, was TO final
ly drive them from this country and
usurp their places"

SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES

At the late session of the Old School
Presbyterian General Assembly, held
at A lbany, the following preamble and
resolutions in relation to the SynOds
| that separated from said Assembly dur
| ing the war. and which formed the
Southern General A ssembly, were
adopted:
Whereas, the Synods of Alabama y r
kansas, Georgia, Memphis, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas
and Virginia, with the several Presby-
teries under their care. have, with the
exception of the Presbytery of New
Orleans, i'm the Synod of Mississippi,
voluntarily withdrawn from our con-
nection and organized themselves into a
seperate church; therefore,
Resolved, That the permanent clerk
is directed to drop their names from the
list of our Synods and Presby teries. and
they are no longer.to be regarded ms a
part of the Presbyterian Church under
the care of this Assembly, with the ex-
ception of the Presbytery of New Or
leans, which is hereby attached to the
Synod OF Nashville.
Resolved, That the Assembly does
hereby recognize the organization into
which these Synods have formed them
selves as a separate and independent
church, sustain to us the same relation
which we accord to other branches OF
the Presby telian Church, and hereafter
it is 20 be treated accordingly by all the
courts under our care.
Resolved, That the Assembly also
takes this occasion to say that while it
cannot justify these brethren in separ-
ating themselves from the church OF
their fathers, it regrets their withdraw
al, and expresses the earnest hope that
they may see their way clear to return
TO their former relations.
