The Lynchburg Republican says that lone OF
the chief aims of the mongrel gatherings which
now disgrace the South under the name OF Con-
stitutional Conventions seems to be, that they
may give to their dirty work the stamp of
permanent durability. Vain attempt the stuff
they are now concocting cannot preserve its
power for ten years to come: one of two things
is morally certain, either the whole nation will
soon be sent to Hades, by the vile efforts Of a
corrupt Radicalism, or else the intelligence and
wealth of the South will again assert their ma
tural supremacy. In either event, good bye"
to the Constitutions now in process OF manu-
facture after the model of the witches broth in
Macbeth
1t may be taken as an axiom, that the better
class of country can never be long nor success
fully kept in political bondage to their interiors
That is an abnormal condition of affairs which
DISTINGUISHES the Judge and the Congressman,
whilst it sends their boot-black and carriage
driver as delegates to frame the fundamental
laws for sovereign States.
These evils are their own corrective. The
very violence and outrage which the Radical
party has imposed upon the Southern people,
in bringing about the work of reconstruction,
will the sooner cause that great reaction that
shall wipe out all remembrance of the Infamous
vultures now preying upon the popular liberties
save the accursed memory of their diabolical
plottings"

A Washington Correspondent Of the Bait.
Gazette says:
The revolution is rapidly eliminating. All
the measures devised by Congress for subyert-
ing the Government will be speedily passed
In addition to those heretofore particularly re-
ferred to, there is now bill before the House
prohibiting the Supreme Court from adjudicat
ing adversely to acts Of Congress passed, how
ever in direct conflict with the Constitution. 4
bill is also before the Senate simplifying the
proceedings upon impeachments, and providing
that two-thirds of the Senate may declare a
party suspended from exercising the functions
of his office pending trial. The bill is manifest
y aimed at the President, and is 90 indication
of the desire of the Senate that the House shall
present charges A part and parcel of this
scheme to expel the Executive, still another bill
is pending in the House empowering the Presi-
dent of the Senate, in cases where er-o6icio he
shall succeed in the Chief Magistracy, to hold
orer beyond the time for aobiich he shall haze
been elected as a Senator. This is clearly in
tended for the benefit of Wade, and is made to
fit his case to hair. 1t. moreover, evidently
contemplates seizure of the Government, in
case Of failure to elect their candidate, after

er should blush, that hundreds and thous.
ands of little children annually perish
from not being properly dressed. The
legs and arms, including the feet and
hands, more than any y'other parts Of tn .
body, need to be warmly clad. These
being the fprthest removed from the cen.
tire of the circulation are with more diff
Guilty kept warm, and need an extra
amount of clothing. If the limbs are al.
lowed to become chilled, the blood is
driven back rom them, and the chest,
