In Virginia, the Convention concmd-
| ed it's work last week aud adjourned.
The most exciting election of the seri es
wilk undoubtedly be that of the "Oid
Dominion" The last registration
showed in the State, 100, ,10l white vot'
ers and l05, 5,S32 eslored. General SchO-
field has not yet announced the time for
holding the election. In the matter OF
disqualification from holding office, the
new constitution goes much further
than Congress prescribed in the recon-
struction acts, and it will be impossible
to carry on the machinery of civil gov
ernment ii its oath is enforced. Some
of the most eminent Republicans in
| West Virginia have declared their in
tention to vote against the constitution
on account of these features, aud Cen
SchOfeld, in q speech he made to the
Convention on the last day of its ses-
sion, told the members very plainly what
he thought. the effect of this test oath
wegld be. He said:
at is practically impossible to carry
on q government in Virginia predicated
upon that basis. | have been now for
more than year administering the
laws in accordance with the reconstrac-
tion acts of Congress i'll this State. |
have had to select and appoint rcgiStor
ing officers, as well as civil officers, IN
the different counties Throughout the
State. In some of the counties | have
been able to fine one, and only one; in
some two, and in some three, men OF
either race, who could read and write,
and who could at the same time take
the oath of office. There are, | believe,
in Virginia, some counties which will
require to carry on the government by
thirty or more civil officers, such as
magistrates, sheriffs, constables, over
seers of the poor, etc. You cannot find
in these counties a number of men ca
pable of filing the offices and who can
take the oath you have prescribed here.
They pay a very limited salary, and
eSen the common laborer could not af-
ford to come from abroad for the pur-
pose of filling them. have ne hesita-
tion in saying that believe it impossl-
BILE to inaugurate a government upon
that basis. | have heretofore abstained
from any attempt to exercise the slight
est influence over your actions. AS
YOU will remember at the commence.
iaent of your session even referred to
yourselves the question of the returns
and qualifications of members, leaving
you free to adopt such course as you
should dean wise and proper. Now,
however, my duty, it would seem, re-
guires me TO convey to you what | con-
ceive to be the effect of such q law, its
practical bearing upon the political af-
airs of the country and upon the inter
ests, if you please, of the party to which
you belong. That provision, if left in the
constitution, will, believe, be not only
opposed to the wishes of your friends,
but will be fatal to the constitution and
perhaps fatal 10 yourselves" .
By very decided vote, even after
this speech. the convention refused to
reconsider its action, and the oath re-
mains as objected to by General Scho-
ficld.-Er.

A Ques iion Answered.

The Chicago Post, the liveliest organ
of the Radicals in Chicago, on Monday
night, contained hundred frantic ap-
peals to the Radicals of that city to
turn out aud vote against the Democrat,
ic ticket. In one Of them it asked,
"Shall the wires tell Grant to-mor-
row night that majority of the citi,
zens of Chicago are against him, and
prefer Pendleton for President I" :,
That question has been answered
The city of Chicago, which for years
has been Republican, has elected the
entire Democratic city ticket! The
wires from Chicago give Grant the same
information that he received from Con-
necticut! The tide ofvictory is with
the old Democracy, and the result in
Chicago yesterday is but the precursor
of grander victory in November!

Four bov,, the oldest and leader

Four boys, the oldest and leader
named George Brigg. being only four
teen years of age, broke into the en-
gine-bouse Of the railroad at Freehold,
New Jersey, few nights ago, "fired up"
q locomotive, and started for an excur-
sion along the road. They ran about
eleven miles, where the water gave out
end the boys left. The engine was
found toward morning, the tender on
fire, and the rest Of the machinery near
ly red hot. After search, Briggs was
found fast asleep in an adjacent barn,
With On, engineers lantern burning by
his side. He was very anxious TO con-
vince his captors that he "didn't mean
to steal the lantern" The engine was
badly damaged by the intense heat.

Planting Linn Benrs.

1t is not generally known, or if
known practiced by few, that Lima
beans, so liable to rot after planting in
wet spell, can be protected against
this danger by simply gFeasiHg them
we'll before planting. 1t should be done
thoroughly, and unless the St eason be ex-
tremely wet it will prove sure remedy.
A few years ago, while neighbor had
to plant his bed third time ours was
wholly uninjured. This is hint worth
acting upon: 1t may insure many crop
of early Lima, which everybody admits
is the "beau of beans."-GeTmdRtOw

The Peach Tree is rapidgrower, and
if left to its own inclination is apt to
become uRsightly in shape. To prevent
this, it should be headed in. There are
those who contend that by this method
the life of the tree viii be prolonged.
One thing is certain, that by .judicious
pruning or heading in, the gathering of
the fruit is more readily accomplished.
