The New Virginia Senators.

! John L. Lewis, Esq and Judge John ".
JOhnston, recently chosen by the Virginia
! Legislature to represent that State in the
/ Senate of the United States, are said to De
gentlemen of considerable ability, and to
| have been true to the old flag throughout
the whole war of the rebellion. They both
can conscietiously take the required oath.
Mr.. Lewis is 4 native of Lewiston,
small town in Rockingham county, and
lawyer by profession. He was never known
as politician, but was an uncompromising
Wing, although residing in the very midst
OF what was then known as the tenth le-
gion' of Virginia Democracy He was
member of the Constitutional Convention of
1861, but voted against and refused to sign
the ordinance of Secession, and was stanch
Union man throughout the rebellion. He
Is greatly respected for uprightness, integrl-
ty and independence of character. lie Is a
son OF the late Gen. S H. Lewis, and has
devoted himself principally 10 agriculture
Judge Johnston, WHO has been elected as
the colleague of Col. Lewis, is native OF
Washington county, Va, and lawyer by
profession. Except in his new Office of
judge, he has only been once in public life,
which vas as member of the Virginia Sen
ate in Is47-S, from the Tazewell district.
He was then one of the twenty three who
refused to go into caucus with the Demo
cratic party, and who united with the Wings
in eecting Mr. Hunter aud afterwards Mr..
Mason to the Senate of the United States
over Gov. Smith and Gov. Mcdowell. He
is a nephew of Gen JOSEPH f. Johnston,
who figured prominently in the Southern
army during the recent war. He was al
ways devoted friend of the Union, and so
remained to the end Of the rebellion.

Father HHaointhe.

This eminent Catholic priest arrived in
New York last week ,and the papers of that
city are making the most out of his presence
there; but he is unusually and sensibly re-
served, and up to this time little has been
drawn from him by the numerous interview
ers who have pestered him With important
questions. Father Hyacinthe has not re-
nounced the Roman Catholic religion, but
he is not an extremist or a bigot: disagrees
with some of the dogm,s of the church, and
favors, to some extent, liberty Of concience
10 religious matters. What stand he may
feel obliged to take hereafter, should ex
communication follow the heresy he Is charg
ed with, can only be conjectured; but as
revolutions, whether in religious or civil af-
fairs, never go backward" We may reason
ably anticipate on tie part of the srnelite
Monk step in advance of his present posi-
ton, before many years, or even months
elapse, if his life should be continued SO
long He is credited in one of the New
York papers with the following account of
the rupture between himself and his eccle-
siasticsl Superior:
MY views are embodied in letter |
wrote to the Superior Of my convent, which
was published at the time. The Catholic
Church is divided into two parties, the Ul-
tramoutsne, or stand still party, and the
party OF progress In both religion and pOlit-
ical thought To the latter wing Monsieur
MonIalambert Is now attached, though he
was formerly on the othor side. Its ideas
were also held by the Able Lacordaire, pre-
vious to his deccase. l had been in the
habit of leaving every Sunday the Carmelite
Convent in which | was monk, to preach
in the church of Notre Dame de Paris. In
my sermons, | leaned towards liberty Of con-
cience in religious matters, and attacked the
spirit which, in the past days gave birth to
the InQuisition. l considered protestant.
to be Christians. They had been baptized
rs such, and their doctrines were Christian.
The Superior of my convent objected to this
freedom and perpetusly took me to task.
This annoyed me. | felt myself perpetually
seized by the throat and gagged. The an
ger of my Superior was still further aroused
by my attendance at the Peace Congress in
Paris, where delivered an address. The
harm of advocating peace, | could not see,
but as universal peace WAS in contradlstlnc-
ton to the past practice of Christendom,
| probably that was the reason of my repre-
hension. Wearied, st last, by perpetual
and unreasonable restraint, | threw aside
my robe, and quilted the convent My Su
| perior wrote me to return within ten days
| or consider myself virtually excommunica-
| ted, although the Pope's anathemas might
not yet have been promulgated. | replied
| by taking immediate passage for America. !"

How IT WoRKs.-The Pendletonian pa
per mill policy of finance is in full force in
Hayti. The mills are al at work and gold
advanced to 81 800 paper for 81 gold. In
consequence dry goods and provisions were
at fabulous prices at the latest advices-the
price of barrellol pork being $55, 900, "a box
of smoked herrings $500, box Of soap $2,-
600, etc. Clearly Pendleton should emf
CRATE thither at once. Salnave evidently
needs his services. A similar state OF affairs
would exist in this country had the Pende-
tonian Democracy been successful at the last
Presidential election, and at the more recent
State elections From the condition of mon
ey matters in Hayti, the people of the Uni
ted States can now see how great a financial
disaster they escaped by the election of Gen.
Grant, and the retention in power Of the
Republican party.

GONE UP.-On Friday last, the Tennes-
see Legislature put a quietus upon Andy
johnson, by electing Henry Cooper as Uni
ted States Senator from that State. Al
though the Legislature is largely Democrat
ic it rejected the ''Oid Man Obs tinate" by
a majority of four. 1t Is almost pity that
ne was not elected to the U. S. Senate,
where he would have done no harm, except
to inflct upon that body his old long wind
ed speech about the Constitution, while his
absence from Tennessee would have afforded
that distracted State blessed season OF re-
pose. The defeat of Andy Johnson is the
severest blow the Democracy received this
fell, excepting, perhaps, that of Repuiia-
tion Pendlet0n, TOR Governor Of Ohio.

RIGRT.-It is announced, says the n Y
1ribuns, that General Buttelfeld is either
to resign or be removed, in consequence of
alleged speculations in gold, while holding
the Office of Us. Treasr in n. Y. We have
already said that there should be no disposi-
tioa for one moment to uphold this officer,
if the charges against him could be sustain
ed. We may nov add that, if the Depart
ment has any reason to believe either that
he was in any way concerned with the oper-
ations Of Messrs. Fisk & Gould, or that he
was in any way responsible for the silly and
damaging defense OF himself which has
been put forth in some of the newspapers,
it should take prompt measures to put its
interest here in wiser hands.

DEATH OF AN EX GoVERSOR.-Ex-G Gov
ernor Joseph Ritner died at the residence of
his son, in Carlisle, on Saturday, October
10th. he had attained the ripe age Of
ninety years During his prime he was one
of Pennsylvania active polititions. He
filed the Gubernatorial chair of the State
from 1885 to 1888, and it was during his
administration that the excitement incident
TO the anti Masonic movement prevailed.
Governor Ritner was never credited with
brilliancy of parts, but he possessed earnest
ness of conviction and integrity of purpose.
The last twenty FIVE years of his life were
passed in retiracy.

The FINANCIAL PROSPECT The steadily
continued reduction of the national debt,
FOR the present and at least five ensuing
months,is anticipated at.Washington. With
peace at home and abroad, and with a rea-
sonable degree OF popular prosperity, our
national debt, at the close Of the present
Administration, March +, 1878, is not like
II to exceed 81 500, 600, ,0O0-a reduction of
more than one fourth of its immense volume
during one single term of Republican
President.

a Democratic Ignus Fatuus.

The Democratic gains" of which their
papers have so much to say every year, and
which are always to elect, but never do elect
their ticket, are the most deluding Willo'-
the wisps we have ever heard Of There
is 4 curve says the Pittsburg Dispatch,
known to the students of comic sections,
the peculiarity of which is that although it
continually approaches nearer and nearer to
given straight line, it never reaches Land
never would reac ch it, if continued to the
confines of space. The gains of the De-
mocracy are very much like this curve. For
the last eight or nine years they have been
continually and everywhere increasing, but
somehow they fail to reach the line of sue
cess, and for aught we can see, the elections
oflast week, which show the greatest gains
of all, according to Democratic arithmeti-
clans, give them no more hope of really at
tanning success than any of the others over
which their roosters have tapped their wings
in vain. Notwithstanding their gaining the
Republicans still keep little ahead, and
show no signs of giving out. The worst of
it all is that these gains merely encourage
the Democracy to persevere in their delu-
sive struggle. But for them they would
long ago have given up and saved their
strenStt.ii and wind till by rest and the adop-
ton of new and sounder principles they
might win in some future contest But like
the fire fly lamp, in the old Dismal Swamp
ballad, these deceiving gains" are leading
the poor Democracy deeper and deeper into
the morasses of prejudice, until at last it
must perish in the Shiny ooze

the anthracite counties He loses 2,574
votes in Luzerne and 345 in Schuylkill, while
he gains II votes in Carbon, the home of
his family, 90 in Lycoming and lbs in Le
high-a net loss of 2,645 to the Pride of

unpleasant damper than the souse his boat
men gave him in the canal some years ago.

UNPRECEDENTED CO0LNESs. AT Mead
vile, on Z riday before the election, while
Gov John w Geary was addressing large
mass meeting of Republicans, and just as he
was in the middle of well-rounded sentence,
the platform on which he, together with the
officers of the meeting stood, suddenly gave
way, precipitating all to the groud The
Governor, as he was going down, continued
speaking, losing not a word, and he strug-
gled out from the broken timbers still talk
ing as though nothing had happened to dis
turb his equilibrium, affording an exhibi-
ton of that eoolness and self: possession which
combined to make him the great hero and
soldier. Scarcely one man out of ten thous-
and could, under similar circumstances have
controlled his nerves so effectually and re.
tanned such presence of mind, and it is as
much from these little circumstances as
from greater ones that we all draw our esti-
mates of man 'scharacter and qualities.

By comparing the vote of 1869 with that
