OF. IF he should die the democratic Governor

gency, bill vas introduced yesterday in the
Senate by Mr. EdmundS, the effect of which
will be to give the power to the radical Legis-

The Case OF Virginia.

Virginia was in the Union, under the Wheel
ing and Alexandria Constitutions, during the
whole of the war. She had the full organiza-
ton and machinery of State. She was repre-
sented in both Houses of Congress, and recog-
nizcd by every department Of the government
as State in the Union. West Virginia, which
was carved out of her, was recognized as a
State by virtue of her sovereign assent as a
State under the Wheeling Constitution. 1t
follows either that Virginia is now State In
the Union or West Virginia is not Congress
has decided, by Including Virginia in the re-
construction acts, that she is not State in the
Union and Congress yet suffers the Senators
and Representatives from West Virginia to
keep their seats in both branches of that body!
What farce this whole thing is! Congress
plays with States as q child plays with rattles.
It may be that the eyes Of the country will yet
be opened to the iniquity and fraud that have
been practised in the case of Virginia. We
were told that if we would assent to the Alex
andria Constitution, and recognize the govern
ment created by it, and the officers elected un-
der it, we should be recognized as part and
parcel of the Union. We did so and almost
in the twinkling of an eye Congress blotted the
State out of the Union in order to bring her in
under the auspices Of the negroes. This is
good faith, and this Radical craftsmanship!
When they find that they cannot cram negro
supremacy down our throats, they may fall
back upon the Alexandria government. 1t
should be borne in mind that the case Of Vir-
GINA is peculiar and unlike that Of any Of her
sister States of the South There has been
an iniquity in her case that has not been prac-
tised in any othcr.-Rich. Wing.
