The whole Democratic press now agree
that there Is but one course for all the
friends of good and honast government to
pursue. They have taken that course, and
no agencies, however powerful, can jostle
them from 1t. They are, If possible, even
more firm and resolute than they were be-
lore the recent elections. Not one jot or
title OF their confidence is abated. On the
the contrary, those who were confident are
quite as confident now, while portion of
the few who had but feeble and flicker
ing hope have now blazing one.
The late elections showed what the De-
mocracy could accomplish, under every
condition Of encouragement, within brief
period, and therefore indicate what they
can achieve when all disadvantages are, as
they will be on the day of the Presidential
election, removed. We have beaten down
radiealism TO most meagre majorities ID

not be raised again, in spite of such an
amount OF colouiz4tion as for obvious rea.

left it at Mr.. Blair's house the morning OF
the day of the execution. Anna Surratt
attempted to see Mrs. Patterson-to see the
President, in vain. 1t was an awful thing
10 this girl that her mother was to be the
victim Of such fate and It was the more
terrible to her and her mother that the lat
ter was to have so short a shrift. 1t seemed
TO both these devout Catholics that no soul

"Of Mrs Surratt's judges-well,y you have
read the trial proceedings. But here is one
circumstance of which you may not have
heard. Mrs. Surratf, whose cell was within
hearing of the sound of conversation in the
room where the judges met at the arsenal,
stated that one day she heard the murmur
of dispute, for and against her, between
some persons in that room. And she got
the impression that Judge Bingham's was

shp
We understand that there is petition to
the Governor, which is gotten up for the
purpose of recommending certain citizens
of our place 10 the Presidency and Director
ship OF the V. & T. X. Il. We have nothing
TO say as to the claims of such candidates
tor the offices which they 80 earnestly seek,
but II shall be the purpose of this paper to
advocate the claims of Gen. Wm. Malone
to the continued Presidency of the consoI.
idated line from Norfolk TO Bristol. Had
our late war continued several years longer,
we do not doubt that General Malone would
have been one ot the leaders OF our South
ern struggle. With the uudoubted courage
OF tue soldier, which led him fearlessly
through terrific storms OF shot and shell and
the high untalteriBg trust IN the justice Of
our cause, he has presented to history the
example OF SJuthron whom no difficulty
could disconcert, and no threat dishearten.
Having proved himself an able commander
ot soldiers aud what can be more difficult
than the endless series OF military manjpu-
ations upon which the success of General
devolves!-having won the glory which men
are 80 slow to accord to their leaders--hav-
ing triumphantly soived many problems OF
military economy, he now stands before
Virginia puolic as man equally capacitsted
to achieve peaceful Lriumphs, as well as
glory in the stirring times OF war. General
Malone is emphatlcally the person to whose
guidance our interests lead us to consign
the safe keeping Of our State roads from the
Atlantic to tennessee. HIS analytic, in
ventve, and executive skill in every de-
partment of business has established for
htm name not easily approached or ex.
celled by that OF any other man in Virginia.
We shall take occasion hereafter to partic.
ularize the great merits of our countryman
to whom We would most willingly cOnsign
the keeping Of our railroad interests. No
state rival ut least can in any wise compare
with this favored leader of Southern soldier S

Test OATHs.-The decision Of the Court
of Appeals Of New York In regard to the
unconstitutionality Of test oaths prescribed
by the Legislature as a prerequisite to
voting, covers the case Of all oaths not re-
quired by tho State or the FEDERAL Consth
tuition. IL Is q clear case that II cousti.
tuition prescribes the qualifications Of voters
it prescribes all Of the qualifications and
that If the Legislature demands that an
oath be added to these qualifications, II
exceeds its powers and usurps the functions
of constitutional convention. SO as to
the oath now required of members OF Con-
gress and officers of the governments, State
and national. The Federal Constitution
not only enumvrstes the qualifications Of
members OF Congress, but states the oath
that shall be taken by the officers named.
When, therefore, Congress took it upon
itself to prescribe new and different
oath, it usurped powers not belonging 10 It,
and violated that very Constitution which
it proGsSsed to desire to protect. II In ef-
feet revised the work Of the trainers of the
Constitution, and added TO that instrument

or ratified in the manner which the Consti-
tuition itself declares Is the only one in
which the organic law can be altered or

GEN. GRANT ON HIS MUsCLE.-While at
West Point, Grant was "run on by the older
scholars, according to the custom Of that in
stitution. He endured good deal without
resentment, until one day, being on mock pa
rade. he was insulted by the captain of The
company, when he stepped from the ranks.
threw off his jacket, and challenged the cap
tain to fight. Abbott tells the story as fol-
lows:
Such challenge could not be declined; all
the company looked eagerly on; the captain
soon succumbed beneath the sturdy and swift
falling blows Of Grant, and cried for quarter.
He had been very soundly whipped before his
pride would permit him to yield.
The young champion not at all fatipued.
and showing no excitement over his victory.
turned to the lieutenant, and said very bland
ly to him:
st is now, Lieutenant, your turn. Per
haps you would like to try to revenge the cap
tain. l shall be happy to meet YOU"
The Lieutenant, who had taken an active
part in the insolent joke upon the Young ca
Diet, could not in honor refuse. To have
shown towards discretion would have ex-
posed him to the endless jeers of his COM
rades Grant made short work with him and
gave him very thorough thrashing.
lie then, with apparently as much compos-
ure as If he had simply attenued TO ordinary
duties, turned to his companions in line, and
said:
WHO comes next? / want peace but ]
am willing 10 fight the whole company, one
by one, if that is necessary to gain peace"
His comrades now greeted him with three
enthusiastic cheers. They came forward tu-
multuously and shook him by the hand, de-
claring thai one possessed of So much pluck
should no longer be subject to their annoy
auce. 1t was in reference to this offer to fight
the whole company that he received the
nickname of Company Grant," This name
he retained until on a memorable occasion
he changed it for Unconditional Surrender
