The Norfolk Convention.
Sketches of its Members.

&C" the correspondent Of the Richmond
Whiy, has been at his old tricks, making
personal sketches of the leading members OF
the Norfolk Convention, few of which we
give. He says: ''to the left of me. and about
midway the dress circle, sits, with the air of
one who was born to be seen and heard, AL
exander Ii. H. Stuart of Augusta. I do
not know how it is with others, but for N.Y.
self, have never been able to conceive of
his presence in deliberativc body so august
that his individuality could be entirely lost
or his personnel fail to excite favorable com
ment But who is the goodlooking man near
him who deports himself in his seat as if he
were accustomed to go to church, and had
acquired the habit Of listening My neigh.
Dor reporters do not know, never having seen
him before in convention. To the left of
MIR. Staurt is seated his felIow-townsina
William H. Tams, cashier of the Virginia
Insurance Company at Staunton. His bear
ing is thoughtful, and at glance you see
that the commercial column is the first por-
ton of newspaper he reads, and that upon
the subject of direct trade and finance he
has clear and well defined ideas, and yet he
will never appear in the daily convention re-
ports, venture to perdict, because he will
remain silent and listen, in many instances,
to talking men with not 1.-THE Of his infor-

my, the Union and its peace. With NIL our
hearts we applaud and honor them for the
manful and unwearied blows they have dealt
at disunion, revolution, military despotism
corruption and fraud.
Il says that it will be found, when the re.
turns arc all summed up, that ''the Republi-
can majority throughout the nation is far
less than the number of those who have
been cheated out of their right to vote"
The New York SIN thinks that
"Onc Of the first objects to which the new
Administration will turn its attention, will be
the completion Of the task of reconstruction,
the pacifcation of the South, and the resto
ration of order and security to that suffering
portion Of the Union"
The Philidelphia Press says:
'From this hour the wounds Of our torn
and bleeding land. begin to heal. Dissensior
shall !end us no mere. Treason, no Longer
brooding evil distempcs and convulsion, shall
blight the commercial and business interests
Of the nation. The altar fires Of industry
shall be lighted on forge and furnace thro ugh
out the length and breadth of the land
Credit and confidence shall spring up in every
community. The golden harvests shall smile
from sea to sea, and the North and South
East and West, the waste places be made
glad"
The Baltimore Commercial says
General Grant is now entitled to receive a
fair trial in the Executive chair, and VIC hope
that the Democratic party will, as far as il
their power, support and sustain him. HI
has had the wisdom to keep his own councils
to hold his tongue between his teeth, and now
unpledged to any party, and uncommitted to
any policy, he becomes President of the
United States.
His election may be made the triumph o.
real conservative sentiments; for though the
candidate Of Radical extremists, and elevated
by that party, he had to be taken by them, not
outstanding the uniform conservatism thai
marked his course of conduct as well during
the war as since the return of peace. NJ
single sentiment of extreme Radicalism coulc
be extorted from him even to serve the pur
poses of most excited canvass. His simple
''Let us have peace" was conservative inter
polation upon the Chicago platform, indicat.
ing but little sympathy with the extreme
views of Radical leaders.
The Baltimore Sun says:
The solution Of all difficulties is not 81
much in any particular legislative policy as
in the spirit which animates legislation, and
if this shall be honestly patriotic and broth
erly, if the words Of General Grant, 'let u
have peace" shall indicate the abandonment
of vindictive policy, the future regenera
ton and salvation OF the country will be pu
beyond all doubt. Any other course, while il
may crafty the passions Of indispensable
revenge against the South, will be purchased
at the indcfnate detriment and cost of al
those material interests which are of suprem,
concern to all sections. Forbearance, mod
Grafton and patience should the controlling
sentiment of all sections.

Generals Rugg!es, Eehols, James Walker,

gallantry and indomitable perseverance, but
far better success, attend them than their eff
forts for the political disenthralnent Of the
South.
Samuel Mcdowell Moore occupies retir-
ed seat in the parquette, and is the, sole rep
resentative from Rookbrdge. He was in
the great Convention Of 1929, but has still
fire in his eye, and Virginian fire in his heart
too. No member is more cordially welcomed
to the body. The question, Where is Flour
noy ?-is he coming?--was answered by the
arrival awhile ago Of the eloquent gentleman
himself. He looks as hale in person as he is
vigorous in intellect and indomitable in will.
