REMOVAL OF THE CAPIToL.-Ihls question
seems to have been started last summer by
some one in the absence Of anything TO write
about The idle vagaly Of some writer, has
however, grown into sensation. The West
ern men have been for some time deep IN cal
culaton as to the cost. Various cities have
put in their respective claims to the equlvocal
honor OF being selected, those near the eeogra
phical centre being most clamorous to have the
distinction. Instead of moving the capitol
with all Of its corruption and political filth into
the peaceful aud vrtuous precincts OF st.
Louis, Chicago or Cincinnati, it should be put
where the stencil of its Hobbies and rings will
not so easily reach the nosris of the nation
say in Sika. The disntecting properties OF
the climate would be advantageous. There
could be no dissatisfaction as to mileage, and
it will be quite central when China is annexed.
Besides, the frugal diet OF the natives of Alas
ka will have beneficial effect upon our dys.
peptic congressional gourmands, alter so many
seasons of bad chicken salad and doctored
cbampa gne. Let the West and South be
unit on this stupendous question. All in favor
OF Sitka hold up your hands Let Forney,
however, remain among the ruins OF Washing
ton as a national cicerone to point ont its
beauties. -Lom$rl!le Journal.

The Baltimore Commercial asks, ''lf the ac'
ceptance by Congress of the Constitution is the
sole act that can rehabiitate the State, how
can the Legislature thereof, before Congress
ional action has made the State member Of
the Union, vote upon Constitutional Amend
ment? Is the State Of Virginia in the Union,
as to an amendment of the Constitution, but
out of the Uoion as to important duties towards
its own citizeoS 2 These are question much
more easily asked than answered. We are told,
however, that it is useless to talk, for Con
gress has determined it shall be 50, without
a why or a wherefore. Doubtless. But such is
the perversity of poor human nature, that peo-
pie will, even when they are compelled to do n
thing, desire to know if the thing is right in

The latest and worst case Of interviewing
that We have seen is furnished by a correspon-
dent Of Western paper-who some how mana
ged to bring about conversation with the
venerable and respectable father OF the Presi-
dent of the L. s., and publishes what Mr.
Grant said, OF what the reporter chooses to
make him say. This is too bad. There rer-
tany ought to be leg, foot, and boot to be
used precisely in the proper manner upon pre-
eisely the proper place, on the persons OF some
of these interviewing" gentry who are sent
about the country to report conversations
for the New York and some other newspapers.
We are sorry to add, however that in several
instances the interviewed Invite the interview,
and readily submit to the pumping process,
in order to have their sayings ventilated. They
rather like getting into the newspapers

1t seems that our friends of the Richmond
Dispatch-ior whom We entertain great re
spect and the kindest feelings-knew before
hand, from Information furnished to them,
what Attorney General Hoar's opinion in the
Virginia case woeld be, aud they were, there
lore, confident upon an ascertained certainty.
They are, then, not entitled to credit for the
faith" they assumed, and for which we gave
them credit. The great Apostle saws that
faith is not only the substance OF things hoped
for, but 1.-THE evidences of things nat seen. -
Now, we submit, that this concludes the case.
Gen. Rawlins was considered as one of the
safest and wisest of Gen. Grants Cabinet. 1t
has always been thought, We understand, that
he was not favorable to ultra measures.

Come One Come All!

"a We always had a slight mis-
giving in advising people from
abroad to come and settle
among us while the black cloud
overhung our horizon. But
that is now dispersed for good
and all. Men Of substance may
safely, invest their means in
old Virginia. The pauper class
will not have the levying of
taxes and knavish adventurers
the control and disbursement
Of the revenue. Our Public
Works, too, are in trustworthy
hands, and cannot be pervert-
ed into profitable jobs by Rings.
AS a means of future wealth
and greatness, it is almost i'm
possible to calculate the effect
Of these completed works. The
Virginia ports are the best on
| the Atlantic coast, and the near
est and most accessible to the
great West. With restored
peace, resettled labor, and hon.
est and wise administration of
our government, we MAY look
forward with confidence to a
material prosperity equal to
that of any other portion of the
continent. With such materi-
al advantages, and with a eli
mate that combines the mild
ness OF the South with the sa-
lubrity of the North, we have
no fears of inviting the best
people of every country to make
their home here, with the assu-
rance that they will never have
cause to regret it.-Whig. M

verdict It is by that very
means that the Union has been
SO long kept sundered.
But now we may hope for
better times. Virginia will
enter upon self-government
again. With a largely dis
franchised population, and al
most an equal number of black
and white voters, a constitution
has been adopted and a Conser-
vative Governor has been elected
The Legislature is Conservative
and will choose two United
States Senators of the same
character. The single obnox-
ious feature of the adopted con-
stitution-the county organiza-
ton clause, can be managed by
those into whose hands it is to
fall. The result is cause for
congratulation among all who
would see peace and a fully
restored Union. ...

4 Concerning the result in
Virginia, the Boston Post says:
+, The election of the Conser-
.vative candidate for governor
Of Virginia, with a Legislature
of the same political character,
and the adoption of the ex-
purgated constitution by a ma
jority running between twenty
and thirty thousand, is an
earnest Of better days for a
State long oppressed by mill
tary and partisan rule. Wells
is nowhere. Walker is the
next Governor of Virginia, by
the votes of black and white
alike. The Radical politicians
are in puzzle to understand
the remarkable division in the
negro vote, which shows why
they have been catering all
this time to the blacks. If the
negro will vote Conservative
and Democratic, they can put
no further dependence on him,
and will no doubt soon be

voices Bring on your

view of the result already be-

an abandonment, or at least a
compromise of principle to

has a column and a half of such
stuff-the whole effect of which
if indeed such twaddle can
have any effect, will be to pre-
judice us at Washington.
We tell the World now
what we told it frequently
during the progress of the

nothing to do with our cleo
