The GUNrowDER MAN FOR STATE PRISON
INSPECTOR seems the Democratic State
Convention finally decided to nominate the
gunpowder man for State Prison Inspector.
His election by perhaps seventy thousand
majority will surprise nobody Therefore.
with that expression of popular opinion In his
favor, let us have thorough overhauling Of
the State Prison system as it exists in this
State--a grand explosion Of all the corrup-
tions, extra judicial exercise of power, cruelty
to prisoners, negligence Of duty on the part Of
officials, malfeasance in Office, and in regard to
all other abuses that have been allowed to
creep into the management of our State
prisons This will prove gunpowder plot in
which all people who take an interest in
wholesome prison discipline will cheerfuliy
assist

for his speech in the Massachusetts Conven-

ALEXANDRIA.

The Washington correspondent Of the Rich
moud Wing, strongly in favor of the new move
ment, writes as folows:-"We must give every
assurance and pledge we can give that our &C:
ceptance of universal suffrage is honest, and
will be observed in the strictest good faith
They must also be convinced beyond perad
venture that we will not use the power given
US to prescribe the respectable Radicals of the
State of Virginia, whether native or of North
ern birth, to build up party to antagonize
Gen. Grants administration, or to fill our pub
lie Offices with men offensive to the Washing
ton authorities. II the people Of Virginia de-
sire adjustment, they can only have it on these
terms"
So, it will be seen, that outside OF any re-
quirement of law, there are pledges to be given
reaching even to the formation of future polltl'
cal parties, and the election of particular men
to Office and the choice of persons who are
not offensive to the Washington authorl'
ties 4" This is, indeed, as has been said OF an
other portion of the contemplated movement,
"piling on the agony" We are, and so we
belle. are the people OF Virginia, opposed to
prescribing respectable Republicans, whether
OF native or of Northern birth" But to require
the political pledges spoken of, in the terms
employed, is, it seems to u.s. ''hading q lower

SERMON BY THE Rev. HENRY WARD
BEEoHER.-The Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher preached yesterday from the
text: ..And He, bearing His cross, went
forth. John xvii, 19. rs The reverend
speaker said thnt ancient artists had rep
resented Christ bearing the CROSS as erect
almost triumphant, but the moders had
reversed this, and showed Him as down
cast and despondent, sinking under the
heavy load. In other words, ancient art
showed Him as bearing His cross, modern
art as being overborne by it. The an
cient ideal was the rue one. Christ de-
spised His sufferings, and, Instead of
weakly yielding to them, trampled them
under foot. The history of Christ's life
was an enlarged history of every man.
Men begin low down in the senses, and
by dlnt of learning, and tears, and trou-
bic, rise above their lower nature. The
ascent is gradual and laborious. No man
can rise and not suffer The price of
greatness is humility and pain. It was
work out the problem of human saliva
tion without suffering. Many people
think that in order to be Christians they
must voluntarily subject themselves to
torture, and deny themselves of the
things which go to make life pleasant.
This is q mistaken idea. A man should
not suffer outside of his duty. God uses
troubles as whetstones to sharpen mems
consciences with. When the knife is
once sharpened the stone is useless until
it gets dull again. Some we'll meaning
persons imagine that they are doing
Gods will when they cut away oil the
edge. This is the way the ascetics do.
Manhood is the most precious fruit of oil
trouble. There is but one tree that bears
true manhood; an it is the cross. There
are many ways of carrying the cross.
The true way is to bear it cheerfully.
Many drag their crosses behind them as
though they were letters or clogs.
Others manufacture little crosses out of
the lightest timber they can get, and not
unfrequently they are covered with EN-.
broidery. This is what they call "glori-
flying the cross" The true cross must
be real cross, and it must be honestly
borne.
