GEN Robert e. LEES PoL1r1cAL VIEWS
Referring to the report that Governor
elect Walker, of Virginia, had invited Gen.
Lee to attend conference on political
matters, the Lynchburg Virginian says:
1--WE can assure our contemporary that
there is no danger that Gen. Lee will do
q foolish act. He is no politician, and has
no idea, we believe Of efnbarking upon
such stormy and uncertain sea. That he
is sincerely devoted to the interests of
Virginia, no man can doubt That he de-
sires reconstruction and would advise his
people to put themselves into practical re-
lations with the Federal, or as il is now
called, the National Government, we have
every reason to believe. Bat he will not
enter into any conclave of politicians. The
people would not desire it, even if Gen.
Lee were willing to compromise his presen,
position to crafty that wish. 1t is proper
to add, in this connection. that there is nc
reason to believe that such q meeting M
that referred to was ever suogested~per
haps not thought ot-by Governor Walker

sErrs.-Massachusetts has been con-
sidering the egg question. A report,
eleven pages long, was recently made

and modern, from every point of view |;
contrast the size of eggs and bonnets,
and declare that the female managers
of the poultry yard have studied politi-
cal economy profoundly, in order to re-
duce the size and increase the number
of their eggs. They treat of the egg
trade between France and England; of
poultry houses and diseases, and of the
treatment of setting hens. The major
ity report is one page long, and objects
in fat terms to the bill.

each other.

THE COMING MAN.

Choy Chew, the celestial gentleman
who has recently been dinnered and
dead-headed through Chicago, has
been telling Now York reporter
of some perfectly astounding traits
of Chinese character, and portray
ing delightful prospect Of Chi
nese ambition. He says that it
is peculiarly Of the Chinese people
to go altogether by first reports. II
the first reports Of country are good,
the Chinaman goes there, and no
amount of experience can get that
First report" out of his head or
changed in the least. On the other
hand if Chinaman for the first time
should venture into an earthly Eden,
and, through a change in his usual
diet Of rats and consequent derange-
ment of his digestion, go home out of
sorts and make n bad report, no
number of celestial witnesses and no
lapse of time could induce John to
emigrate thithcr. For this reason
the rack and thumb screw could not
induce the Asiatic to keep out of Cali
fornia, the first Johns having said
"Me likee muchee."
Now here il better material for max.
ing radical voters Of, than the "colored
brother" II once "set, there would
be no necessity of leyying large cor
ruption fund to carry elections. john
ballot would be the same to-day, to

thought the Chinese would be amont

When Mr.. Chew looks at the pros
