The painting of the hall was greatly
admired-the audience freely and ia

Capt. Ryder has the greatest reason to
feel proud of the elegant manner in
which his share of the work has been
executed. The designs are harmonious
the contrasts beautiful. We never
beheld colors more elegantly blended.

ssAs There are great many GRIM
blrrs in this world, and those who are
curious to know how large II proper
ton of the people are natural, discon-
tented, GROWERS, can easily find ont,
and at the same time enjoy most
amusing experiment, by asking each
of their acquaintan les what they think
of the warm and pleasant weather
prevailing this winter We warrant
that in nine cases out of ten of the in-
terrogated, one will reply, with per
feet gusto of anticipated misery, that
we are to pay roundly for it before
spring while others will dolefully
shake their heads and prognosticate a
very sickly time as the consequence.
Now the idea that bitter cold weather
is promotive of vigorous health is
about exploded. We have yet to find
the person who has carefully noted the
effects of the weather upon his health,
who does not agree in saying that
very cold weather is injurious in its
effects.
The following from high English
authority, bears the evidence of cor
rectness to all who have ever given any
attention to the subject
There is cause of disease which
used to be greatly considered, but
which has of late been rather neglect
ted-that is cold. Dr. Rumsey, in his
interesting address on Public Health
at the S ocial Science Meeting to be
published, we believe separate-sug-
gested that, in the strength of onr new
convictions of the necessity Of fresh
air, we were rather apt to forget the
evil of having too much of it, or of
having it a low temperature. The old
err physicians thought more of cold
disease than of almost anything else.
Ard, indeed, it is mighty producer
of disease and death, which has of late
been greatly overlooked. II Stays it's

THE SPRING TRADE.-That there will
be brisk and prosperous opening of
the Spring trade, no discriminating
business man doubts. All indications
point to better season than the coun-
try has seen for several years past Not
only our merchants will be benefited,
but the condition of the laboring class
as is like to be ameliorated, thereby in
creasing the bone and sinew of the
country. The reasons that cause peo-
pie to believe that a change for the bet,
ter is at hand gain additional credeuce
every day, and render the dawn of a
new era of commercial prosperity a
comparative certainty.

The World asks what General Grant
means when he says Virginia ought to
be reconstructed, and finds its own re-
ply in the following language:
Stripped of all this current bosh about
equal rights, the interior view is that
the white race, which alone possesses
any property or has sense enough to
make and keep money, is to be handed
over in chains to be plucked and robbed
at discretion by pauper negro suffra-
gans and their scoundrelly white allies
We ask the World if that is the dis
position they intended to make of us,
when they assured us during the late
Presidential campaign that we need not
anticipate lodging the reconstruction
laws if the Democracy proved success
full +? If it was we have made happy
escape; for by the operation Of tie
" new movement" the white people are
to be allowed to decide the question al
the polls whether they will or not be s.
disposed of.

ity and large-mindedness, and commit
ted to opposition of the oaths, &C., by
which the Constitution would prevent
Virginians from ruling Virginia. On
the other hand there is the Radical Or
ganization led on by Wells, by DIR. Har-
ris, negro, and by Bowden. An or
ganlzatlon bent upon the possession OF
the State for the sake Of party aggran-
disement, a party containing none Of
the ability, experience, character, or in.

best attested by their endorsation of the

Whether this fragment, represented by
some of the members of the State Ex-
ecutive Committee, will make fight,
we are not informed. The Committee
has done nothing for six months. 1t re-
fused to sanction the "new movement"
and since then has only resolved to post
pone action until an election should be
ordered. We presume that what is left
of it will convene shortly. This is the
party with which we had hitherto acted.
Its policy expired. There was no re-
newal. We were left to shift for our
selves.
And we have decided, and we be-
lieve that the people of Virginia have.
We shall support the ticket of which
Col. Walker is the leader; and SO far
as the obi CT of his party is the delivery
Of Virginia from the greed of Wells and
his coadjntors, the striking out of the
most Objectionable provisions of the
Constitution, the restoration of Virgin
ia to the Union under toerable form
OF government, and the creation of peace
and prosperity within her borders, so
far we shall cooperate with these gem
tlemen--who, naming themselves "True
Republicans" are shown to be "True
Virginians" by the objects which they
proclaim.

CLEAR THE DECKS,
From the Richmond Whip.

i
The Virginia election bill empowers
the President to take from the constitu-
tion such provisions as he may deem
proper, and submit them to a separate
vote. He is known to be opposed to the
teat oaths aud Jisqualifying clauses and
the county CARNATIONS, and perhaps
others, such as the homestead and APP
pointment provisions-and these-eer-
tainly the three first-will be singled
from the rest and subjected to sepa-
rate vote. This distinction will imply
Presidential repugnance and insure their
rejection. These are the alpha and omega
of Wellsism, and constitute the quintes-
cence of Radical Carpet bagism. The
Carpetbag organ, not two weeks since
declared them absolutely essential to the
existence of the faction in the State.
Now that President Grant puts down
his heavy foot upon them, the same We
racious and consistent journal has the
modesty to tell us that next to General
Grant we are indebted 10 Wells for their
exclusion
The passage of this bill, oa the rec
ommendation of General Grant, makes
plain sailing for US in Virginia and if
the people of the State have common
sense, insures their deliverance from the
ruinous reign of the carpet baggers. We
may not get such constitution as we
would prefer. but it will enable us to
live and prosper, until such time as we
improve and amend it.
With the election of such State tick
ct as that of Walker, Lewis and Taylor,
devoted to the true interest of the State,
and sympathisins with the wants and
sufferings of our people, and with Le-
gislature concurring and cooperating
with them, we foresee fair future for
our old Commonwealth. To the success
of that ticket and such Legislature,
let all who feel an interest in the mate
rial welfare of the old State at once adj
dress themselves
