100000 or $500,000 from Rockbridge to the
stock of the Valley Railroad was good deal dis
cussed, and we did not hear a single objection
made to the proposition. Our farmers are be-
ginning to feel and the vital necessity of this
great work, and to understand that this county
can well afford to subscribe four or five hundred
thousand dollars to the Improvement, upon which
they will never be required to pay more than the
interest, when at least that sum will be paid out
in the county in the mere construction of the
road. The County Court will, we understand,
take action in the premises, at its present term.
We hope that an election will be ordered at an
early day, TO take the sense Of the voters of the

for Office, subject to two-thrds vote OF each
house of Congress; and that Congress shall
have power by appropriate legislation to en-
force the provisions of this article. Thus IN
the reconstructed as we'll as in the unrec)n
struoted Southern States, and in New York as
we'll as in South Carolina or Texas, Congress
has the power to enforce this amendment;
and we dare say that in the interval to the 4th
of March next a law will be passed for carry
ing into effect throughout the United States
the provisions OF said amendment
Some new amendment has been limited at
embracing uniform universal manhood suf-
frage; but meanwhile the amendment officially
proclaimed, we may assume, will be carried
into effect. In this view the question of re-
construction may be considered as settled,
however unpalatable to the extreme radicals
may be the provision of this amendment four
teen, which gives to each State the discretion
of a universal or restricted suffrage, subject
only with a restriction of the ballot to cor
responding restriction in counting the people
for representation in Congress and in the Pre-
sidential Electoral College. What, then, be-
comes the future programme Of the Democra-
tic party? Not useless war against amend
ment fourteen, under which they may very
soon recover all the Southern States, but
recognition Of fixed facts and new departure
against the financial blunders and sxcesses of
the dominant party, and in favor of positive
and clearly defined system of retrenchment
and reform.
This will do for the present; but under the
ipooming administration new issues will GER
tainly spring up, which in their agitation may
afford fine opportunity to the Democrats to
cut in between the contending Republican
factions and carry off the balance OF power.
At all events, the first important necessity de-
volving upon the Democratic leaders is the
abandonment of the dead issues, and recog
milton of this fixed fact, that the Constitution
as it was, "the Union as it was" and State
sovereignty as it was, are among the wrecks

by set Of crazy theorizers and morbid senti-
meRtalists who are destitute of common sense,
and whose minds are incapable of making
just determinations. We suspect that when
these people get exhausted upon the negro
question, they will 60 in strong on the
women. The current seems to be turning in
that direction. Tne Jacobin pulpit is ready to
give the thing lit. That fellow who, the
Sunday before election, pretended that he
was about his "Father's business" in preach
ing politics. and trying to put breeches on
to women, has set the movement on foot.
This question will soon be in politics The
Jsoobins are preparing for it. 1t is the Jacobin
women who are going into it. We have
no fear OF its spreading among Democratic
women, or that many decent women Of any
class will become infected by it, But those
Vineland women have got it bad. Just look
at the vOte-l92 in ALL democratic, 1873
Republican. The woman that reports the
result is very careful to state that four colored
women voted-"all for Grant" That's right,
and we are glad that so many of the rest of
these foolish women voted "for Grant" We
would not have it otherwise for one Of the
Worlds political tables.
To be sure, they did not vote at the mems
POLL and their votes were not embraced in the
legal canvass. But no matter. They voted.
And they voted in the same rooms where the
men did. Don't they think it was very
womanlyl OF course they do, for they have
told all about it in the newspapers. Poor
deluded creatures much we pity you.
