poses to prosecute the journalist who wrote 80
sasagely about HIM.
-"Dadame Bombins, that is to say, the ex-
Queen Mary Of Naples, wife Of Bombina, ex-
King Francis the Second" writes the Rome
correspondent Of the Journal de Geneva. ''is
still very pretty woman. She looks little
pale, and it seems to me that her hair is not
quite as full as it was when saw her about
seven years ago; but there is enough loveliness
and grace sbout her to turn the head-of any
susceptible young man. I saw her the other
day, galopmg past the Monte Pinclo with
some ch1ldren-those OF Count Frascone, Iw 8
told. Her appearance was as dashing and pre-
. ,,osseasipe as it could be. What o pity that
this charmiug creature should be linked to
such q husband. Hum, the ex-King, saw too,
the other day. he looks sallow and hollow
eheeked-not as if he we're thirty-tbree, but
forty.Hve. Liquor and smoking have made
him premsturely old. His gait is SLOW and
awkward. His eyes are dull, and his features
heavy and dissgreeable. He seems to be
man without understanding, spirit or energy.
Hts fsyorite companions are low fellows, who
help hlm to equander his limited resources,
and do their best to make him believe that
nothing is more certain than that he will, at
no distant day, reascend the royal throne OF
Naples"

Let him lock TO it,

TaE VIRGINIA Eli EcgIeN,-The party of corruption
and misrule has been routed horse foot and dragon
in the glorious old Mother OF States. The victory is
more complete than anticipated by the NEST san,
gaine conservatives In the South, Those who knew
how the State had been gerymanaefed in the interest
Of the Radical party had little hope Of carrying the
legislature by more than small majority, if at all,
Che result has been astounding aud moss gratifying.
The Walker ticket has been carried by majority OF
So 900, and the legislature wihaye majority OF ever
sixty on Joint ballot Three negroes have been elected
to Congress il true but there germs OF satisfae-
ton even in that 1t will aisara the Radical party OF
any plausible pretext 70 nahgy the election and the
presence Of these weoheads in the halls of Congress
will be calculated TO disgust all decent meo among the
Radicals if indeed there be any such III that party,
The people made virtue Of necessity in accepting
Regro suffrage aud this is the secret Of their success
It seems as many negroes voted for Walker as for his
opponent. Walker is Republican, and this is mas,
ter of Fegres but he has been in the slightest
degree identified with any proseslptige measure, II
will be remembered that the election in Texas wlt be
On the 30th November, and in Mississippi the 2Sd
OF the same month. As the Natehez Democrat says:
Where Virginia leads, Mississippi need not tear &c
follow

Tux RAILROAD SrHscglrrioN.-A An article will be
found under the head Of Texas items, taken from the
Harrison Flag, In regard to the proposed subscription
We can only say the City Council passed ordinance
calling for vote OF the taxpayers on the proposition
TO raise By taxation some $50 900 to loan to the road
Subsequently,, from doubt to the legality of levy
ing taxes under the city charter 10 be devoted TO i'm,
provements cut of the State aud also from fear that
it might be voted down by an already terribly tax
ridden people, many of whom would have been forced
to sell their property to raise the money, the City
Council recalled the proclamation. An ordinance was
then passed aathorsng the issue by the city of bonds
to the amount of $780, the proceeds of the sale Of
which to be appropriated to the road, These bonds
will be printed practicable and ii is hoped
can be sold at eighty cents on the dollar
For oprself we are most decidedly in favor of aid
ing the read 50 tar as il can possibly be done Ii this
be not the opinion Of the business and property
holders of the place, it amounts simply to differences
in Judgment This much, however, in defence Of oal
eitizensthere are very few who have the at all
and but few Of those few whe spare it from then
business.
