The northern people will have their eyes
opened by the events Of the future. pow
crful consolidated dcspotism will necessarily
soon trample under foot even the strongest
of the State governments. The Philadelphia
age sees the danger. Ii says;
"In the case of Pratt, in which the de-
PENDANT. residing in New York, has been
arrested with the intent to send hIm TO
Texas to be tried by a court martial, there
is an impudcnt attempt making to avoid the
Jurisdiction of the courts Of law. These
kidnappings were tolerated during actual
war, when the huJenS corpus was suspended
by act Of Congress, but they were never de-
feasible on any principles of law, or OF real
necessity. Even Mr.. Binncy, Of this city,
who wrote two pamphlets to cxalt executive
power. wrote a third to say that in its ag-
grcssions upon civil justice it had far cx-
ccedcd the widest limits he could allow to it.
Now, wears after the close Of the war, an
attempt is made to repeat these outrageS,
indcfensible even in war times. We trust
the authorities in New York will promptly
and fearlesqly assert the jurisdiction OF the
courts Of the State over every man who
seeks their protection. 1t appears by the
proceedings that there is not even pre-
tcncc that any legal requisition has been
made from Texas, and no evidence hes
proved the commission Of any crime there"
1t is a clear case that if the northern
theory as to the nature of our government
be the true one, there is nothing left for
State to 10 but to submit to whatever out
RACES the central government may choose
to perpctratc. 1t judges and in acting ii
has already prejudgcd the case. 1t viii Of
course sustain itE own acts. What can
New Yorker say Nothing. lie has de-
clared over and over again, by his votes,
his words, and his services in the field, that
the southern States had no right to decide
for themselves whether the acts of the
Federal Government were oppressive and
ntocrablc; and if they had no such right,
New York can have none.

The Test.Oath---Not True.

The statement put forth that it has been
determined to impose the tcst-oa'h upon us
or our legislators, is not true, as we know
The Federal Cabinet has come to no &c
termination on the subject. The matter is
still with Attorney General HoAR. we are
not ready to believe that the oath VIII oe
imposed upon the Virginia Legislature
The commanding General repudiates any
ncrsoual desire to embarrasS us with sha'
oath. lie is actuatcd only by his view OF
the law, and will. We believe, he very ready
to acquicscc in any instruction that may
save him from the necessity Of enforcing
his view of the law.
We have the strange state OF things II
this test-oath question that the people o.
Virginia, firmly and sincerely defending
the policy of the President OF the United
States, have adopted the constitution ana
elected n State ticket and Legislature III
sympathy with the President; and yet the
Government thus elected is held in allegiance,
and not able to organize until present OBJ
stacles are removed, or some way, not no"
very clear, shall be determined upon 10 gel
out Of the difficulty.
without entering now into debate upon
the question Of applying the test-oath t.
our legislators We may say that Its en-
uloyment now, so far as relates to the poll
teal temper of Virginians and the men
they have elected, is entirely gratuitous
The recent election was one altogether on
national basis---the animating principle
was on ardent desire for the restoration o.
equality, concord, and national peace and
prosperity. Within the broad limits OF tins
Union there are no more faithful and In
trepid defenders of the Union, the Consti-
tuition, and the laws, than the people OF
Virginia. To throw distrust upon these
pcoplc is an outrage Of justice and n
Jrieyous modification Of a generous public
sense. l. is not surprising that even Gen
cral CAHBY regrets the construction that nc
has felt called on to give to the law. But
General CANDY is in very small minority.
Neither General GRANT nor majority OF
the Cabinet concurs with him, and it will
be most remarkable if the oath prevails.
The general JOY of the people of the
United States would he excited by
the news that Virginia was excused
from the oath. No event at this time
would occasion more universal satisfaction ;
and with everything in our fayor-the con-
etruction of the great fraternity OF law
yers, of the highest dignitarics Of the Go
vernment, and the press and the sympa-
thics Of the people of the whole Union-n
would he most strange that we should be
forced to bow down into the dust and be re-
united to pecuniary injury, general dis
trust, and paralysis Of our industry and
enterprise by the abominable tcst-oath. Ii
is the greatest enemy to peace and national
harmony, and should be universally rcpu-
dated.

MORE OF DANA's LEGAL LoRE.-CHAELEs
\. DANA, the New York editor who sus-
tains, justifice, and expounds the renowned
UNDERwooD's judicial opinions, declares
that the members elect OF the Virginia Lc-
gislature arc disqualified because they can t
take the oath that the law is percmptory
and requires ii Of them that the people of
Virginia coutumaciously elected such mem
bers and finally (here comes in the IN
DERwooD programme) that the persons re-
ceiving the next highest number Of votes
ought to he allowed to take the seats which
the people solemnly decided by ballot they
were not fit for. All Of these statements
are falschoods. DANA will not be able to
have UNDERWOOD elected to the Senate
again, as he was by the Alexandria Legis-
laturc, whatever evasions, TICKS, or ras-
calities, he shall resort to.
What commentary it is upon the intelli-
gence Of the man who cites the New York
papers as models of journalism that the
SIMS editor is so ignorant as these dcclara-
tons prove him to be, and that the editor of
the Times thinks and says that murder is an
offence against the Federal laws even when
not committed where the United States have
exclusive jurisdiction.

General Capby's Good Name.

We have seen it intimatcd more 'hah
once in the state Journal that General
CANnY has addressed to the members cicc'
Of the Legislature circular 1nqulr1hg
whether they can take the iron-ciad oafh'
This is the most serious charge we have
seen made against the General, and Is, we
doubt not, entirely unfoundcd. We have
lust as much right to make such an inquiry
as General CANDY has. 1t would be lmpu-
dencc unparalleled in him to do so. we
have not vet seen member of the Lcgisla-
ture who has received such circular; and
as it is to be presumed that General CANDY
knows the limits of his duties too well to be
caught meddling with other peoples Ousi-
ness. VIC feel confident that he has never
sent out any such circular.
The Lynchburg Ners announces that the
members elect from Campbell county have
never received such circular from Gene
ral CASBY

Great Waste of Precedents.

The state JoUHGi gives itself unncces-
sary trouble. We conccde all that It's long
editorial Of Saturday proves. We admit
that if the people Of Virginia IN tier o1ra
rrony voted for disqualified men to serve
in the Lcgislature-that is, if they voted
for such men kNo,ring them to be disquali-
fed, and for the purpose Of Shouing their
contempt of the djsqualJWng po,cer-thc
persons receiving the next highcs; numbers
Of votes should have The certificates Of
election.
But, then, it is not even nor determined
that there is any law authorizing such dis
qualification. The members elect are GER
tainly eligible under the Federal constitu-
ton and the State constitution. They have
no disqualification.
Finally, to show how completely the
Journal is non-suitcd, it is only necessary
to state that the people of Virginia knew OF
no disqualification in their candidatcs-not
even q CANBIAN disqualification. They
voted in ignorance. Mr.. TEAvERs DANIEL
seems to be the guilty party. Surely such
a wrong as seating the defeated candidates
because of has sin would not be justified
even by the State Journal. 1t is safe to
say that not one voter in ten had the re-
hottest idea that lie was voting for a dis
qualified candidate.
The greatest wrong that we can fear from
General CASBY is new election and the
requiring of the candidates to be such AZ
can take the est-oath. We do not believe
that any man who has for so many years
been found worthy TO wear the uniform Of
an army officer could SO heap insult and
contumcly upon outrage aud wrong, and ST
degrade himself into a low partisan as t.
give certificates of election to the mcr
who were defeated at our election III July

THE .N.s.rEF.sCTERE or PE.vS

A correspondent of the New York Eve
ming Post gives the following graphic ac-
count of the manufacture of pins as it is
now conducted:
The pin machine is one of the closest ap-
proaches that mechanics have made to the
dextority of the human hand. a small
machine, about the size of a lady's sewing
machine, only stronger, stands before you.
On the back side light belt descends from
the ceiling that drives all the machines,
ranged in rows on the floor. On the left
side of our machine hangs on a peg
small reel of wire, that has been straight
ened by running through compound sys-
TEN of small rollers.
This wire descends and the end of it en-
ters the machine. This is the food con-
sumcd by this snappish, voracious little
| dwarf He pulls it in and bites it Off by
! inches. incessantly, one hundred and forty
bites 10 the minute. Just as he scizcs each
bite a saucy little hammer, with IA concave
face, hits the end of the wire three taps and
'upsots it to head, while he gripes it in n
counter-sunk hole between his teeth. With
an outward thrust of his tongue he then

across the rim of n small wheel that slowly
revolves just under his nose BY the ex-
ternal pressure of a stationary hoop these
pins roll in their places, as they are carried
under two series of small files, three in
each. These files grow smaller toward the
end of the series. They lie at Il slight in
clination on the points of the pins, and by
q series of cams, levers, and springs ar,
made to play like lightning Thus the
pins are pointed and dropped in littl,
shower into box. Twenty pounds
of pins is days work for one Of thesC
jerking little automatons. Forty machines
on this floor make flve hundred and sixty
pounds daily. These Plus are then polish

hand-like part of the machine catches one

by one movement sticks them all through
