Boutwell, seem to make more account
of the unity and conference of the Re-
publican party than of the triumph of
Its cardinal principle, which is making
the altar OF more account than the god.
We are struggling for the civil and
political equality of all citizens before
the law; We are offered the votes of
Virginia, Mississippi and Texas to es-
tablish that equality, and fix it forever
in the Federal Constitution; and we
are asked to take care that our new
allies pronounce our Shibboleth exactly
as we do nay, that they have always
done 50 and from the best of motives
This will never answer We cannot
afford to postpone the consummaton of
our great work in order to have it done
by men who prove hirthright mem

hasten, by all honest, lawful means. the

CHEERING.

Our exchanges from every portion OF
the State brings us the most cheering
news in reference to the Frightening of
business prospects in every portion OF
the old Commonwealth. The triumph
of the Walker ticket and the principles
of its platform has been worth millions
Of dollars to the people of Virginia.
Every eye is bright, every heart is
ehesred, and everything around looks
hopeful, and already in our own city
do we begin to see signs of improve
ment, and on every hand the opinion
is expressed that the future will grow
brighter. Index.

TUESDAY MORNING, July 20, 1869
THREE JEWELS.

The Day Book probably has as much
cause to feel proud of its record as any
paper in the State of Virginia. We
reckon in our crown three Jewels which
any paper may be pardoned for Boosting
of, as they are all three of that nature
that have conferred solid and substan-
tial benefit on the people Of our city.
The first of these is, the building of our
market house and endowing it with a
revenue, which has proved 10 be sub
stantial income into the treasury of our
city. The Day Book caused the old
tumble down trap of a market house
that formerly occupied the present site
to be removed and the present structure,
which is great convenience and an or
nament, to be erected in its place, and
the market cart ten cent tax to be levied
to help pay the cost of its erection. We
effected this by continued agitation, and
it has proved an Improvement and a
permanent benefit. There is no disput-
ing our claim to this.
Jewel No. 2, is the bringing to the
Norfolk market large quantity of cot
ton from the interior, which had hereto
fore sought other markets This was
accomplished by debate on the subject
ofcotton receipts in the TWO cities of N or1
folk and Petersburg, between the My
Book and the Petersburg Exprsz|and
having in every instance prove4she SUI
periority of the Norfolk market, we pub
lished the articles in the Weekly Day
Book and sent them broadcast in the in
terror; and the effect of this was as we
were afterwards assured, to vastly in
crease the amount of the receipts of cots
ton and other products in this market.
SO great was the benefit in this case ,tha5
ID became matter of recogr. ion in q
discussion before the Board of Trade. Of
our city, after the close of the . ar, in
which the Day Book was omplimented
for its success in the measure. This is q
jewel worth the wearing by auy news
paper, and no one can dispute our tide
to it
Jewel No. 8, however, is not strictly
local triumph, but is one we'll calcu-
lated to benefit not only Norfolk, but
Virginia and every Southern State. 1t
is the new movement which originated
with this paper that we speak of; sew
eral have endeavorea to set up claim
to this, but as we have the matter on
record, and they have no evidence to
sustain their claim they have let it 60,
prelerring not to be caught in the act of
stealing the work of other peoples
brains.
Now, we won't say anythipgAbers
about the new movement IF it is 10
jewel worthy of the boast of any news
paper, we would like to know what is,
When any one reminds US that we
should not indulge such pride in our
jewels, we are selfish enough to suspect
that they are without jew Is to boast Of
that's all

awful situation of tho constitution and
all that; in which he says: "There is
no hope for this country but in thorough

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Very little progress
has been made in the matter of the admission
OF Virginia today. Nearly all the prominent
Republicans Of both Houses however, express
themselves iavoraby. Tomorrow the Recon
struction Committee meets, and the question
of the admission OF Virginia will be considered
AMI evidence taken.
In The House, to day, while referring TO the
committees, it was incidentally remarked that
Virginia would be represented in a few days.
In an informal talk, yesterday, among
the Radical Senators the questions OF the
removal of disabilities and the abolition Of
test oaths gave rise to the expression oil d.
yersity Of opinion, AMI. it is said, that upor
these questions there will be division IN th'
party, and al attempt to form Conservative
Republican organization.
Upon the bills introduced, TO day, by Messrs
Ferry and Stewart, the Republicans in tint
Senate arc about equally divided, which vii
secure their passage by that body.
