The Alexandria Journal will doubtless
be pleased to learn that its rejoicings over
the failure Of the three hundred " dele
gates to attend the Conservative State Con-
yention were not according to its knowledge,
but to its ignorance. There was only one
delegate from each city and county invited.
These, with the State Central Committee
and its consulting members, were oil that
were expected. So that, instead of the Con-
vention's consisting of only one-third of the
number of delegates expected, it contained
largely more than the proportion that
usually attend conventions out of the num-
Der appointed. When it was called, the
Central Committee expected the election to
come off on the I'd of June, and thought
there would not be time to get up regular

COSFUCIUs, THE CHINESE PHILOSOPHER
The Boston advertiser has the following
very interesting remarks in recent criti-
cism upon new book:
{" Confucius married at nineteen to fulfil
the Oriental duty of perpetuating his name ;
then, after the birth Of one son, coolly di-
vorced his bride, that he might devote him
self to wisdom, which, OF course, has no
thing to do with woman! ),
g There are some curious physiological
suggestions, however, in the fact that two
thousand years after, eleven thousand
males claimed the honor of his blood, and
the descendants of this only son are still
the only hereditary nobility in the Chi
nesc Empire.
g The Duke Kung, the present head Of the
Confucian family, lives in mansion .ad-
Joining the temple erected to him in his ma
tive city. Within its limits is the original
house in which the works of Confucius were
hidden to preserve them from the illiterate
hands of the Emperor Tsin, b. C. 2l2. We
find it difficult, in this country, to realize that
there is anything 80 old in the world as the
relicsof Confucius. Skeptieal critics doubt
the reality Of his portrait-statues, but if the
world is only wise, ChiIta offers to reveal
to us the secrets which Egypt, Persia,
India, and Phenecia have left untold. Not
only has the family of Confucius kept its
identity through ell the reyerses Of the
State, butthe milton has kept its customs, its
religion, -or, to speak more APPLY, its arant

Mr.. CHAsE-Two CONFLICTING OPINIONS.
In the last number of the New York Cita-

Mr.. CHASE as the Democratic candidate for
President. 1t is:
of our Democratic leaders to-day had
only the pluck and brains to do it, we be-
lieve they could make their success certain
by adopting Chief Justice Chase as their
candidate in the Presidential contest of next
November"
The other is on the other side of the same
question: We quote:
sThe Sun has of late displayed fea-
ture of covert humor, broad irony under
the gravest mask, such as often must de-
ceive all but the elect of its readers. Of
this nature have. been its recommendation
of Judge Chase as the proper candidate for

The Conservative Ticket.

Though the gentlemen put forward by the
late Convention as the standard-bearers OF
the Conservative party in the coming strug-
gle must be known by reputation to all of
our readers, a brief personal allusion may
not be without interest.
Colonel r. Z. Withers, of Lynchburg, the
nominee for the first Office, has been since
the termination of hostilities the confessed
ly able editor of the Lynchburg Ne,cS, and
has directedth the influence of that journalper-
sistently to the support Of the Conservative
cause. It is regarded by some persons as a
recommendation, that he is new to public
life, and will have to encounter none OF the
preiudices and partisan objections-curses
which better day has left as worthless
legacy to this-which might have retarded
the success of man more prominently
known in connection with Virginia's past.
There was difference Of opinion upon this
point, many of the delegates thinking that
the wide reputation and practiced abilities
of some such tried statesmen as John s..
Baldwin, A. H. h. Stuart, or Thomas 5.
Flournoy, might arouse an enthusiasm and
develop a vote against the Constitution
which could not be otherwise obtained. But
the objection was raised to these gentlemen,
and others of the class, that they were in
eligible under the Howard amendment; a
majority Of the Convention decided in favor
Of this view.
e Colonel Withers, though prominent Of.
5fcerin the Virginia troops, is not thus dis
qualified.
General james Walker, Of Pulaski, the
nominee for Lieutenant Governor, is a gem
tleman Of fine powers and tried devotion to
the State. His influence in the Southwest
and Valley districts is universal, and he
could have conmandcda large vote upon the
floor Of the Convention for the gubernato-
rial nomination had not his name been
Withdrawn with harmonixing motives. Gem

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.-TRAIN's mis-
fortunes in Ireland have rather damaged his
standing as a fnancier. Before he left this
country he had, somehow or other, caused
thousands of people to look upon him as a

make million if he hadn't it already.
But in swearing in bankrupts court in
