choice of evils, the people would
doubtless prefer the Alexandria Con-
stitution, But no choice will be given
them. SO, at least, Senator PoHEnoY
says in letter to the editor of the Nor
folk Virgihian. The mistake made by
.'Senex" and SENIOR was fatal one.
In place of discussion in the public
prints, a quiet visit to Gen. GRANT in
Washington-the Radical leaders being
entirely ignored-would have given us
the right clue and eventuated happily.
Hon. A. Ii. II. STUART and other promi-

T. S.-Since the above was written,
the political conference in Richmond
has issued call for q convention to
meet February 10th, See another col
umn. Many influential papers in vir-
ginia oppose the movement; Greedy
approves it. So there is a probability
OF a split in both parties. IL the con-
vention meet, as it doubtless will, our
hope Is that it will avoid speech-making,
pass single resolution and adjourn
sine die. That resolution should refer
the whole matter In debate to General
GRANT. The result, at first, may not be
satisfactory; but the great end of plac-
ing Virginia (and ultimately the whole
South) on the side of order as against
the anarchy to which the country is
now subject by reason OF the prepon-
derance of the legislative over the ex-
ecutive authority, will have been attain
ed, or at least inaugurated. 1t is be-
yond expression desirable that Virgin
ia should take the lead in this ineyita-
BILE movement.

sHrEp-sELLs A CHARM AGAINST DOGS

Some days ago we read in an agricul-
tural magazine statement of the large
annual loss of sheep destroyed by dogs
probably to the extent of $4,000. FRI
day evening we were quietly seated in
our room looking through the last NUM-
Der of the Scientific American, that excel
lent and instructive publication, and
we read communication remarking
upon the circumstance, that, the bell
,oether never was harmed by dogs at
lacking flock of sheep. Upon observ-
ing this fact, farmer, it seems, expert
mented, and placed on the necks Of q
dozen sheep in the flock, perhaps half
dozen small bells on each, fixed to col
lar, and the result OF his observation is,
that, those likewise escaped harm from
the dogs. Petersburg Express.

some knowledge of the subject, that at

about 1,250,000 Free and Accepted Ma

An extraordinary matrimonial con-
tretemps TRANSFERRED in Williamson co.,
on Christmas night. A double marriage
occurred in the same house, and the
wedding festivities were celebrated in
the old fashioned style, and in that joy
full way naturally prompted by Christ
mas and the blissfnl event which made
a double couple happy. About mid
night both brides retired to rest, and in
half an hour thereafter the newly made
husbands followed. By some strange
mistake, each gentleman found his way
to the wrong room. The mistake was
not discovered until daylight, when
one of the ladies shrieked her surprise
after a vigorous fashion. A general
hubbub was the result, and at last ac-
counts the brides were dlsconsolate, on
account OF the scandal created. All
sorts of schemes of reparation were
proposed, but it appears that no tangi-
bic plea tor undoing the double mis-
take was arrived at. ...

ed as narrated.-LOu Journal
