Island, the rope broke twice. The third time
he was hauled up by the sheriff and his as
sistants. He had previously spoken for three
quarters of an hour with great feeling and
composurc. The horrible scene was wit.
messed by about two thousand people.
CASE OF LEAD POISONING occurred re-
Gently at Palmyra, N. Y. Tho family of

three sons and daughter, were attacked with
the symptoms, consisting of swollen face,

VIRGINIA PoLITrCs.-Vlrginia papers cx-
press the following opinions editorlally of
the new reconstruction bill for that Statci
THE PASSAGE of this bill on the recon.
mendntlou of General Grant, makes plain
sailing for us In Virginia; and, If the people
of the State have common sense, nsurcs
their delverancc from tho ruluous reign of
the carpet-baggers. We may not get such
constitution US we would prefer; but II will
enable Us to live and prosper, until such
time as we may alter and improyeit. With
the election of such State ticket as that of
Walker, Lewis and TaylOr-deyotcd to the
true interests ofthc State-and sympathizlng
with the wants and sufierings of our people,
and with q Legislature cOnCurring and CO.
operating with them;-we forsee fair future
for our old Commonwealth. To the success
OF that ticket and such a Legislature, let all
who feel an interest in the old State ut once
address themsclres.-R Richmond Wig.
THE GRAND POINT In this important bill is
the opportunity II will afford our people of
delivering themselves from the shackles
forged for them by the Convention of 1868,
with Its overwhelming majority of negroes
and strangers. IT will enable us to get rid
of the test oath, the county organizations,
and such mOnstrous clauses as the President,
In his wisdom and fairness, may permit Us
to vote on separately. That the people can
defeat those provisions, ifthey act wisely and
tremendously, Is beyond question. And 1t
would be an act of blindness and madness
for them TO fail to do so.
Preparation should DO made with US much
prOmptness rs possible to meet this crisis In
the affairs of Virginia, for we suppose the
President will order an election ut an early
day. The Central Executive Committee OF
the Conservative party organized In Deccm-
Der, 1860, will be promptly convened in this
city to consider the whole matter
Wotrust that the people of Virginia will
profit by their sad experience. In 1867 they
lost the Convention by suicidal apathy and
sullencss Some 10000 or $4,000 failed to
REGISTER, and large portion Of those who
registered failed to vote. or course the
Convention was handed over to barbarism
and treaChGry. Hence the monstrous con-
stltutlon which General Grant dcnounces, and
the more obnoxious features of which he
declares we should by all means vote down.
This Is altogether in our power. The people
have only to recognize the solemn truth that
the salvation OF their State from the mlsrulC
Of Ignorance and dishonesty depends entirely
npon their active participation in the elections.
They must register, and they must vote and
they must use their whole influence in be-
half of the policy which will best Insure the
harmony that Is indispensable to triumph.
That done, the way Is clear. Virginia will
again enjoy good government, administered
by capable and honest mem all hcr Interest
will once more flourish, aud her people he
blessed with peace and ABUNDANCE |
