TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SuN.-A total
eclipse of the sun will occur on the 7th of
August next. 1t will be visible as par
tial eclipse throughout the whole of North
America. An astronomical writer says in
relation to it
No total eclipse Of the sun has been Wis
ible in any considerable portion of this
country since 1884, and none will be visi-
BILE after this year, during the present cen
fury. An event of this character, coming
so rarely, and Of such moment, can scarce
ly fail to attract general attention. Where
the eclipse is total, the optical and spectral
phenomena, as we'll as of those more prop
erly astronomical, claim special notice.

delivered by the latter at the State Fair: In
his letter to Mr.. Lyons, who expresses his re-
greet at the manner in which the address has
been received, Col. P. says 'The whole text
and scope of the address was to show that the
people OF Virginia were peculiarly bound by
their traditions and history to devote them
selves to material development. as by that alone
the Commonwealth Of Virginia could ever hope
to regain her lost rights and privileges l

to exacerbate the people of Virginia against
that Government or people. At the same time
it was not my vocation to ignore history for the
purpose of palating existing bitterness or en-
couragipg political and economical affiliations,
which I did not comprehend, and perhaps,
therefore. did not approve" tt. LGa

Before and After Election

The Baltimore Saturday Night says that,
''if there was as much virtue and honesty and
regard for the public veal after an election with
the successful party and the candidates elected
by 1t, as there appears to be-if we believe all
that Is sald-whilst the contest was pending
no danger need be apprehended nor fears en-
tertained of dishonesty, trickery or malfeasance
in Office, Then again, on the other hand, if
the opposing factions or parties were as profit
gate and corrupt as each makes the other ap-
pear to be, all good citizens should unite in hon
est endeavors to defeat both and secure, if pos
sible, men in whose integrity, full confidence
might be reposed.
We are always told before an election, that
taxes are to be reduced, economy observed in
every respect, and an honest administration OF
affairs depended upon, if the party SO pro-
claiming be supported and elected to power;
yet after this has been done by confding voters,
the advocates of purity and economy are dumb.
The next thing, perhaps, we hear of, is quar-
rel, an embroglio, committee of Investigation
upon frauds, and exposes of corruption, traca-
BILE, perchance, to errors Of judgment. weak
nesses Of human nature, or some other uncon-
trolable and unavoidable propensity, requiring
the broad mantle of charity to be drawn over
it in excuse of unintentional delinquences.
Looking at the manifold receptions of mod
ern politics, contrasting their pretensions with
realities before and after getting into power,
We are almost inclined to lose faith in all of
them. It looks, indeed, like system whereby
designing leaders and heartless demagogues
take advantage of the confding but deceived
masses, to accomplish purely selfish purposes.
The few make use Of the many, and, when e.
lected to public positions, too often prove, not
only deceptive, but ungrateful. If we could,
we would have persons chosen to be our rulers,
wholly upon the score Of merit, free entirely
from all party obligations or trammels.

The Enquirer and Examiner says that after
such conflict as was waged for four years in
this country-a conflict not less remarkable for
its development of power than of passion-that
after such conflict, we say, the general views
OF the conquering portion were to prevail was
what reason and experience alike would teach;
but surely it will he matter Of amazement to
posterity that, after war waged for the defeat
of Secession, for the preservation of the Consti-
tuition and the integrity of the Union, the party
who had, after an arduouS struggle, achieved a
complete victory under banner with these in
scrpitions, should, for four years, and perhaps,
for an indefinite period, falsify their own de-
clarations, and practically vindicate the cause
and course oftheir defeated opponents by refus-
ing to admit the Southern States to Union
from which it had been contended they could
not secede, and by the mutilation and utter de-
struction of the healthy spirit Of a Constitution
they had sworn to preserve intact.
What distinguished writer says of the pro-
totypes in England may be applied with great
er force to the imitators In this country I'm
truth their proceedings are as little to be re-
conciled to policy as to humanity and justice
The key to their conduct must probably be
sought in their ambition Having tasted the
sweets of power, they can no longer endure the
thought of superior, or the presence of even
an equal The same lust Of sway which they
denounced at the outset has taken possession of
their minds, and they believe, as despots always
will, that no power can be safe in any hands
but their own. Having converted themselves
into an irresponsible, and, as they fondy trust,
an irremovable 'oligarchy, they seek to com
plete the usurpation by rendering themselves
absolute. -

There is great deal of needless apprehension
entertained in this State, respecting the effect
Of the expiration of the Stay Law, which ceases
with the acknowledgment by Congress of the
new constitution. The opinion prevails that
about one-fourth, or very large portion of the
real estate of Virginia will then change hands,
at ruinous sacrifice to the present owners
Those who take this gloomy view Of the subject
lose sight Of the fact that tie courts can to a
great extent control this matter, and interpose
to protect the interests of the property holders
In all cases, except where deeds Of trust exist,
sales Of real estate must depend upon decree
of court; and no sales will be permitted if the
proceeds of annual rental for term of years
will iquidata the claim on account of prineipa |
and interest. But In any case tits competent
for the courts TO have property appraised, and
to set aside any sale where the value of the pro-
perty, or something nearly approximating it,
has not been secured. This power of the courts
is ample to secure landholders against a ruin
GUS sacrifice of their property and further, we
have no doubt that the Legislature will, by ap-
proprlate legislation, under the Constitution,
see 10 it that wholesale ruin be not thus infict-
ed upon the debtors Of the Commonwealth

gain, in Virginia. With the success Of recon
ty to the South, all values of this kind will be
