NATIONAL MoRALs.-The moral
sentiment uf the country ought
not to tolerate in Office habilual
drunkards nor men n0toriously
hcentious. On the contrary such
positive pressure Of public opinion
should be brought to bear upon
such men in high official position
as to compel their resignation. 1t
is quite time the probe WAS applied
to the moral sores which tester in
the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives Of the United States,
and these bodies pruned Of the
branches which ear vicious fruit
no matter how brilliant the col
oring thereof, nor what their po-
lilical complexion.
We are led to write these words
by the statement made in the col
umns Of a responsible and inhu-
ential daily journal that the re-
ccption room Of the Senate Of the
United States ''is notoriously the
teSt'assignation place in Wash
lngton," that, lat any time du-
ring the session of the Senate the
visitor may see there, sitting and
reclining in brazen atfrontery,
known women OF ill-fame attired
in the most costly fabrics, dia-
monds and laces OF the latest fash
ions;" and that "Senators do not
hesitate to come from their seats
at their bidding.
This is very grave charge and
one demanding other scratiny
than that Of Il white washing Con-
gressional Investigation Commit
tee. The full force Of an outraged
peoples inquiry should be brought
to bear upon Senators who lack
the virtue and dignity which these
statements imply. Personal pur-
ity and probity in life ought to
be prerequisites in men chosen to
assume the digni6ed duties Of
Senators Of the United States. 1t
is quite time such qualifications
for office were required by those
who make and unmake Senators.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL IA, 1869.

Round DANCES. The Virgin.
ians are greatly exercised now on
the subject Of dancing. The Rich
mond papers divide their time be-
tween "the German" and Recon
struclion. A lady writes long
letter on the subject, to the Rich
mond Wing. How she feels on
the subject may be gathered from
the following excited sentences
Maidens, do you not remember
the time when if lover, whose
honor was as unsullied as his heart
was pure and true, if he, in chiv-
alrous devotion, might touch the
rosy tips of your soft, white fir
gers, he felt himself most hon
ored atove mankind ? And now:
oh grievous truth !
"Our loviest and our fairest Ones"
are whlrIed around in the arms OF
men whose hearts are as stained
dS luClI illOuSltlCllcS.
If no other reason than the
honor Of our beloved State, "stop
it," Behold Virginia! she whose
victorious foot has so long rested
on the tyrant's bosom, is herself
enchained, led captive by her for
mer PROSTATE foe. The blood
streams from her many wounds !!
The laurel wreath torn from her
brow, lies at her feet, bedewed
with blood she raises aloft her
beautious hands, and her noun
tain ranges re-echo the clanking
Of her manacles-and yet she sees
in all her Woe. q spectacle more
terrible than chains or blood. Her
unnatural children, who should be
pouring balm in those wounds,
who should bind up that broken
heart, mock at her grief, by throw
ing away their one-remaining
treasure-their spotless purity !!
She weeps! All, well she may |!
Bend down thy stricken head. oh.
conquered Queen, and wash thy
children's crimes away in mingled
tears and blood

BAB AND BABIsM.-A new sect has
sprung up in Persia which threat
ems to greatly modify, if not to
overthrow, Mahommedanism: Its
founder. who has not only made
himself familiar with the books of
the Mahomme'laniSm, but with
the Bible, and the writings of the
Persian intidels, has assumed the
name of Bah, or the door, from
which his doctrine is called Bab-
ism. He asserts the unity and
immutabiIity Of the God-bead I;
declares that all things are eman-
ations from God, and in the day
of judgment will be reabsorbed in
him. He discourages Theoretical
speculations, and urges his disci-
pies to love aid obey God, avoid
ing all ascelicisism in dress or
manners. He interdicts polygamy
and concubinage tcrbids or great
ly restricts divorce, and abolishes
the use of the veil, and thus aims
to elevate woman from the de-;
graded position she occupies un-
der the Mahommedan religion:
His doctrine is making mighty
strides among the wealthy and
intelligent. The Mahommedan
clergy stirred up the government
against him, and he was forbid
den to preach, but his followers
have spread the new doctrines id
every direction and gained many
converts.

LOCAL NOTICES.

Lire REORGANIZATION the National Life
Insurance Company of tho United States of
America commenced operations about u year
ago, We vcntured the prediction that II would
carly receive full proof Of popular favor.
Newspaper men, even more than others, are
proud when history writes the lllllmcnt Of
their prophecies.
This, perhaps, arises from the fact that
they prophecy more than any other people;
but whether so or not, Is not now our pur-
pose to inquire. This company has issued
1,01O policies in the very first year Of Its
labors-threc or four times more than any
other company during the same period Of It's
history, and fifteen times as many as what Is
now the largest company In the world.
Our prophecy was founded on n careful
study OF Its character, and knowledge OF
the men having 1t In charge.
The company is stock company, with
low rates OF premium, and with experience
and economy In Its management. In mu-
tual company 1t Is the policy holders only
who suffer when the management Is mex
pcrlcnced or cXtrayagant, while In q stock
company the losses fall altogether on the
stockholdcr. So far as VIC have observed
the policy-holders have nothing to do with
the control OF mutual company, and are
rapidly learning that II is cheaper and wiser
to procure insurance where they are not re-
quircd to advance money above the actual
cost of insurance, with which to pay cnor-
nous salaries to officers, or to reimburse the
company for losses In premium notes taken
In lieu OF cash, but which can never be col
lected.
The National Company recognizes this
popular want and meets it. 1t Is well worthy
the patronage 1t is receiving, and which will
undoubtedly In the future rapidly increase.
such at any rate is our second prophecy In
relation to 1t.
The general agency for this city has been
placed In charge of Messrs. d. +. IIamlink
~ Co., general insurance agents, No. 40
Seventh street.
Col Hamlink is we'll known to our citizens
as the agent of several prominent fire insur-
ancc companies, and 1t is certain that his
connection with the National will result In
largely increased business In this city. We
recommend our friends, who think Of insur-
Ing their lives or property, (and who docs
not y TO drop in at Col. Hamlink's new and
beautiful office.
