The NORFOLK JOURNAL, though express
sing the utmost security that the new Con-
stitution of Virginia will be rejected, advises
its readers to make your wills" for fear 1t
may not be. The danger which the Journ-
az apprehends is that negro guardians may
be appointed for the children of the chival-
ry. Ofcourse, there is no such danger, but
would 1t, after all, be anything more than
fair, after the black people Of Virginia have
been held in bondage by whites, in defiance
of law and Justice, for two hundred and
thirty years, If they should na-: have charge
of some of their old masters, according to
law, for while? There would be greater
hardships possible than this.

The QUALIFICATIONS REQUISITE for a
member of the New York City government
are of very remarkable character. Mr..
Bergh, of that City, the President of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, states that he recently had to have
one of the Councilmen arrested. He was a
butcher, and had chopped off the hind legs
of pair of steers which were unruly, and
then allowed them to lie in the scorching
sun for hours before putting them out OF
their misery. When required to write his
name he made cross, not having acquired
the art.

tecollect that charter was secured from the late
Legislature of this State for railroad from Parks

charter from the Legislature of that State to
construct road from Delaware City to connect
with the parties in Pennsylvania. Committees

proprieiy Of constructing the road. Mr.. Evan

cuded to Join their interests and build the road,
and Mr.. Philips was authorized to prepare books

a survey of the route.'
This is continuation OF the scheme talked
Of for building road from Delaware City to
Newark, and thence up the valley of the White
Clay Greek to Avondalc, to be known as the
Avondale, Newark and Delaware City Railroad.
The road is chartered, and may possibly be built
but 1t is thought by many, will never be extended
Eastward from Newark.

The Committee on Contingent Expenses

Pennsylvania (Demociat), made lengthy
report to the Senate yesterday afternoon, an
abstract of which will be found elseM here.
completely excnerating Mr.. John w. For
ney, Secretary of the Senate, against the al
legations charging him with an abuse of his
trust in the disbursements of the contingent
fund Of that body. They not only find his
accounts fully adjusted, but state that the
Government has not lost n dollar, even by
the act of the financial clerk, and also that
the settlement shows a balance in favor OF
Col. Forney. His sureties have been en-
tirely protected, and the whole loss falls up
on the Secretary alone. The report, which
is the result of close and protracted inves-
tigation, is the unanimous judgment of the
committee. To the friends of Col. Forney,
this complete vindication, however satisfac-
tory. will be no surprise. They nesel
doubted how this new demonstration upon
his character would end. To his enemies
who have so intustriously tried to poison
the public mind, it offers such an opportu-
nifty for the exercise of fair play that we arc
a little curious to see how many will avai
