Death of Rev. Pliny II. White.

1t is not only with surprise but exceed
ing sorrow that we have this week to re-
cord the death of Rev. Pliny II. White,
of paralysis of the brain, which took
place at his residence in Coventry, on
Saturday morning last. He was a ma
tive of Springfield, and about 46 years
and six months of age, having been born
Oct. 6, 1922. His remains were brought
to Westminster ON Tuesday for burial.
He has long been known as a clergyman
and a distinguished historian, and had
been pastor of the Congregational church
in Coventry nearly eleven years.

CHEsTER.-Our community has again
been visited with one of those sudden
calamities that should warn us all of
how uncertain is our tenure Of life. On
Monday, the Goth inst, Derrick L.
Sprague, well known and highly es-
teemed citizen, was stricken by the hand
of death after an illness of less than for
ty-eight hours. Mr.. Sprague was ge-
NAL, companionable man, one of whom
we can truly say, his hand was against
no man." His sudden death has cast q
deep gloom over the community in which
his daily presence for so many years has
been so kind and so useful, and the af-
ficted at his home and the bereaved in
the land beyond the sea have the heart
felt sympathy of all who knew him, in
this their great sorrow. Mr.. Sprague
was 90 years of age and member Of
the Olive Branch Lodge of Free and ac-
cepted Masons.
Building is quite lively again this sea-
son. Mr.. Garfield has nearly completed
a two story building near the depot to be
used as a marble shop. Mr.. Artemus
Holden is erecting a new dwelling on
Bridge Street. Mr.. James B. Cram is
about to erect steam mill near the de-
pot, and Chas. W. Abbott has in process
of erection a carriage mandatory near
his residence.
1t is not so generally known among
our farmers as it should be that there is
at the Town Clerks office valuable Ag-
ricultural Library consisting of some
two hundred volumes treating on the va
rious subjects interesting to the above
class of citizens and instructive to all
who desire to know more of mother
earth and the fruits she bears.

lures and bring the State in as soon as pos
sible. We do not include in this report the
lower t;de-water region nor that immeui-
a,e,v at the foot Of Che mountains. But in
the broad belt to which we allude, lying
between these, there is q remarkable una
nimity of opinion and purpose. We can
hardly doubt that there will be, as much
harmony in the two remaining portions OF
the State east Of the Blue Ridge. OF the
Valley we know very little as to the present
state Of feeling. Blu. we know the aound COM
mon sense Of the Valley people, and haveno
doubt that when the Presidents procla-
nation is pu. forth, and the exact situa-
ton of the State is we'll understood by the
solid men beyond the Blue Ridge, they
will take the wise course Of ending the
question Of how and when Virginia shall
enter the Union by at once adopting the
expurgated constitution. They are not the
people to discard practical wisdom, reject
chance to get out Of trouble, and involve
themselves in impenetrable uncertainty
and almost unbearable oppression.
We take occasion to mention just here
that one of the very best friends this State
had in Congress-who stood by her with
unfaltering devotion, and never lost an op-
portunity to do her service-declares now
that the people Of Virginia should not hest
tate moment to vote out the obnoxious
clauses, and then adopt the constitution
and come into the Union. He assures US
that we shall not get such favorable terms
il we reject the protfer now held out. The
advice Of 80 good a friend, go wise q
gentleman, should be treated with the
highest respect. He speaks truly. He
has had the best opportunities for
Judging what is safest for us. He
knows how the law under which we may
now come in swept through the halls Of
Congress by a conspiracy Of circumstances
which may not again occur. To consult
sentiment and pride now, after our long
imprisonment, with certainty that we
cannot be benefited thereby, would be worse
than euicide. We would fasten upon our
selves misery and ruin almost unendura-
BILE, while we would retain life and sensi-
bility to know and to feel the full measure
Of our calamity. .....

Trouble in the Wigwam.

Governor WELLS has his hands full. His
satellites are exceedingly hungry. He is
utterly unable to appease their appetite
and close their mouths. They olamor from
morn till night, and, like Mother HUBBARD,
he is ever running to the cupboard in
Washington for bone. One after another
they become bones of contention, and there
is no rest to poor Mother HUBBARD WELLS.
We trust General WEBB fares better with
these people than did that loyal gentleman
General SLOVENIAN. To him they came,
one after another, each pouring out his ur-
gent appeal for aid in carrying out his
views in Support of reconstruction %;
which we're, when proved, nothing more
nor Jess than giving each the best and fat
test position which would OF the same
time enable him to engineer his plan for
promotion to higher place in future.
Each cast suspicion upon the motives and
honesty of the other, and thus day after
day was General SToNEMAN obliged to hear
the disgusting appeals and mutual crini-
nations of set of men who were only
united in the general war of plumber upon
helpless people.
We say that this systematic effort to in
duce the commanding General to peryert
the powers of his Office to advance the
greedy schemes of these corrupt men was
perseveringly made by the leaders Of the
ultra Radicals of this city. A trio of them,
who were only faithful in selfshness, were
unable to harmonize until the Governor
ship was accepted by one and the two seats
in the United States Senate awarded to the
other two. Quite humiliation, indeed,
for proud Old Virginia, When her high
est places are divided By such men among
themselves.
Recently there hos been quite time
with the quieting of the clamors for Office
There has been much treachery, much dis
appointment, and tho Governor has been
| flying to and fro between this city and the
Federal capital in o manner which betokens
the trouble in which he is placed. 1t is
understood that an individual sent on to
l present the claims Of another in PeterB-
burg returned with the Office as his own.
| This raised storm which was only quelled
| by making room elsewhere for the enraged
| and cheated patriot and here again an
4 other screw Was loosened which brought
1 fresh annoyance to the arch-intriguer. To
these, other troubles are added; and the I'M
4 happy Governor has no rest. The satel-
lites must be satiated with government
pap or else they will blab, and they know
too much to be allowed to do that. The
/ expectants besiege him, and the disap-
I pointed wander through the, halls Of the
| government house torturing its occupant
| with their walls.
Take the concern altogether it is not
easy to find its parallel. Governor WELLS
will yet cry out, Give US peace; but it
will be the cry Of despair when defeat
| shall have overtsken him.

Looking to VIRGINIA.

1t is notable fact that the number of
visitors to this city from the North is very
large at present, and that many who come
ere looking about to see what sort Of induce
ments are offered for investments. Gene
rally they express themselves as being
pleased with the climate and appearance of
the country, and surprised OF the physical
advantages and resources of the State. The
disposition to invest is strong amongst these
intelligent visitors, but the unsettled con-
dition Of our political affairs deters them
from doing SO at present.
Though the number Of these visitors is
just now somewhat larger than it has been
for some time, there has been q pretty
steady stream Of northern travel setting in
this direction almost ever since the war.
When we consider what large multitude
has in that time visited this city and Vir-
ginia tol look upon her scenery and find out
all they could about the fertility of he1
lands and her mineral wealth, we may
readily conclude that she is by this time
well advertised-especially when We fur.
thermore remember that these visitors came
from oil sections Of the North and North.
west.
It is we'll known from the expressions Of
those who came while here, and Of what
they wrote to their people at home, that
they formed very favorable opinions Of
Virginia. Many Of them declared their
intention to purchase property somewhere
in Virginia the moment she had settled
and reliable government.
Contemplating these facts, We may well
anticipate that there will be considerable
influx Of population into this State the very
moment such a government is established
here. Among the immigrants will most as
suredly be men Of large capital; and also
number Of manufacturers who will be
tempted here by the fine water-power and
the valuable minerals which are in such
abundance and SO convenient for transpor-
tation.
II is very clear that great change will
be made in our condition by the acquisition
Of such men. Their ssgacity and enter
prise, their capital, and the large number
of operatives which they will bring into
the State, will give new life, and revive
the energies and hopes Of the people.
10 realize oil this we must secure the
Liberation Of the people Of Virginia from
the thraldom which carpet baggery and
barbarism have prepared for them. No
vase stranger will trust to the government
OF a State whose Intelligence, integrity,
and experience are put under the ban.
There can be no peace for such State, no
enterprise and energy amongst her people
and the stranger will avoid her territory
az . land in which there can be neither
happiness nor thrift. -

The Present Issue.

The UspE1wooD constitution as it is o.
.,scizes ninety.fve Of every hundred white
men twenty years old in the State. That
;ssW. dspriues Virginia Of the intelligence,
hs;ategrity, and The experience of her peo-
nle;a the management of her public affairs.
General GRANT says this is monstrous.
Governor WELLS says it is right and
proper!
General GRANT, desiring peace, so shapes
b;s policy towards Virginia as TO restore to
the people the immunities Of freemen, SO
thu, there shall be no class disqualified,
d;strus.ed, and discontinued. Governor
WELLS, looking solely to monopoly OF the
Offices by himself and his greedy followers,
onnoses This restoration, endeavors to con-
t;nue the shackles upon the white people,
and thus continue strife, discord, and
poverty.
General GRANT is too practical not to zee
that government administered BY men
trusted by the people, with confidence and
con,entment, are indispensable to peace
and prosperity. Governor WELLS is too
cunning not to perceive that his misrule
depends upon tanning the embers Of dis
trust and hate, keeping alive the passions
Of the war, and continuing the disabilities
Of the white people Of Virginia.
General GRANT, who led the armies and
knows what war is, fully appreciates peace
and msgnanimously desires to establish IL
bv abolishing the shackles imposed by re-
renge and distrust, and thus make the peo-
ple contented and win back their attach
ment to the Government. Governor WELLS,
who knew nothing of war more than can be
seen by provost marshal Of town never
in q fght,-whose only proof Of courage
WAS in hectoring over the helpless-would
continue the shackles, continue the dis
trust, continue the bur.hens, and perma-
nently disqualify the people of Virginia
not for the good of the Union, but for the
good Of himself and his satellites, that
they may continue to live upon the hard
earnings Of the people whom they SANDER
and reyile.
General GRANT is both generous and
wise. He knows that the people of Virgi-
MIA are not only to be trusted, but, freed
and untrammelled, are amongst the most
reliable Of all the communities on this con-
tinent in any exigency Of the nation.
WELLS, like robber in the house, would
tie these people hand and foot that he may
continue his operation Of self-appropria-
tions in safety and for en- indefinite time.
General GRANT is looking to the welfare
of the nation, and desires peace as indis-
pensable to it. WELLS is looking to his
own personal gains, and desires test-oaths,
disabilities, and discord, as the means of
his qualification.
General GRANT would erase bitter memo.
ries and subdue hatreds for the national
good. The provisional Governor Of Virgil
mia would perpetuate those memories and
those hatreds for his own good. One wants
peace, the other plunder-one sunshine
and prosperity, the other darkness, spolia-
ton, and despair.
And yet this Governor WELLS has the
effrontery to attempt to inculcate the i'm
preston that he favors General GRANTS
policy! Two men more unlike each other
two men more directly opposed in purpose
and policy-exist not on this earth,
