great number of emigrants are daily passing
down Snake River Valley on their route to Oregon
and the territories hailing mostly from Minnesota,
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and JheWestern States
An unusual degree of destitution and consequent
suffering seem to prevail among them. Indian
depredations, Sickness and accidents have reduced
many to deplorable condition; hungry, ragged,
foot-svre, and weary they plod along, more dead
than alive, until now and then good Samari-
tan falls in their way, and temporarily relieves their
suffering and distress. Colonel Jennings informed

FRIDAY MORNING, Oct. l, 1869
UNITED STATES SENATORS.

The opinion OF Attorney General
Hoar has found its way into the press,
and we copy it this morning from our
contemporaries. Our articles have
rather anticipated the result OF his
views, as he says the election OF sena-
tors sis part of the action contemplate
ed by Congress as preliminary to res
toration of the State to its full relations
of the government of the United States
as one of the States Of the Union"
That is his language, and ours, as ut
tered Oh the 2Sth uit., was THAT MIR.
Hoar's opinion coiucides with the view
that Senators should BE- elected now,
in order to have the representative
element OF tie State ready for admis-
sion in Congress when that body is ap-
piled to; and that such a proceeding Is
really necessary in order to carry out
the details Of preparation" Farther
GA and near the conclusion, Judge
Hosr says: The election OF Senators
does not seem to ne to transcend the
action which comes within the limits
and qualified purposes requisite TO re-
construction, blt rather 10 be essential
to the completion Of that action"
There is he gist of the matter; and
we knew the Legislature would come to
that conclusion when they convened
and took the subject under considera-
ton, without another opinion from Gen.
Hoar, though some of our people are so
nervous that they fear to move an inch
without advise from headquarters.
However, it Ii all wei: now, We "ope,
and Thus Nil 60 along We suppose
until the next hitch comes up
OF this one thing our poop'e II v be
assured. We shall iinal;y get IN all
right, soon after Congress takes hold
OF the matter, Notwithstanding all the
bitches started up by the opponents of
reconstruction outside Of Congress, and
those threatened to be brought against
us by insiders when the application is
made. The fact is, that the conduct OF,
TIE Virginians all through the trying
period since the close of the war has
been such that there can be no mark
against us on the Congressional state,
and this we think will speedily silence
any opposition that may be attempted
in Congress against our entering, But
our people are nervous, and there are
certain parties playing on their ner-
vousness to endeavor to get them to do
something OR say something that can be
used as handle against us. The Pc
Rod is short now, and all we have to
do is to keep quiet and do precisely
what common sense dictates to us; and
be particular not to do or say anything
that will give the enemies of recon
strustion a handle against us, and all
will be we'll.

gg" The Fredericksburg Hedald dis

R&s The Fredericksburg Hedald dis
covers that the terms of nine Of the
thirteen Radical Senators will expire in
two years. The Conservatives carried
twenty-seven districts, and yet they
only lose nine at the expiration of two
years. So that in two years, when the
next vacancies are filed, the Conserva-
tives will start with eighteen Senators
and the Radicals only four who hold
over. The Constitution.prescribes that
Senators elected from districts bearing
odd numbers shall vacate their seats at
The end of two years, and those from
districts with even numbers shall hold
office for four years. The calculation
in the Radical State Constitutional
Convention was great miscalculation
as far as Radical ascendency in the
State Senate was concerned.

THE EDUCATIONAL JOURNAL. OF
VIRGINIA.

The Educational Association of Vir-
ginia, at its last meeting, determined to
establish Journal with the above title,
which should be the organ of the associ-
alton, and medium of intercommuni-
cation for the teachers of the State.
The undersigned, who were appointed
a committee of publication ARE at length
able to announce definitely the success
OF the scheme, and to state that the ar
rangements are now such that the con.
tinuance Of the publication, for one year
at least, is put beyond the possibility of
failure.
The Journal will contain thirty-two
pages of reading matter, printed in good
style, and issued monthly by our 6nan.
cial agent and publisher, Mr.. M. w.
Lakewood, of Richmond, Va, at the
very low rate of one dollar per year.
The first number will be for Novem-
Der, 1869, and will be ready before the
end OF October.
1t must be evident that such a Jour-
nal, established in the interests of edu-
cation, the organ of the teachers of the
State, opening its pages alike to the
humblast worker in the school room and
to the highest professor in college or
university, discussing freely and practi-
oally textbooks and methods of instruc-
ton, distributing the collected results of
individual experience, aud disseminating
educational information in genera, must
prove an Invaluable auxiliary in our
work. Especially does such medium
for the interchange of views seem de-
manded for the period OF social and
educational change and upheaval upon
which we are now entering.
We hope to place copy of the Jour-
nal in the hands of at least every teach
er in the State, and our plans look to
far wider circulation. The advantages
thus afforded to advertisers of books
and school appliances will not escape
the notice of publishers and of otte
interested.
Tue Committee of Publication, in
entering upon their untried and wholly
gratuitous labors in the cause of educa-
tion, earnestly ask the aid of every
member of the Association, land of every
friend of the work, in securing .subscri-
bers and in obtaining matter for our
pages. With such cooperation We
hope to make the Journal worthy the
noble old Commonwealth whose name
it will bear a-Commonwealth des-
tined to win in the peaceful arts of
education renown not less distin-
guished than that which is already hers
in craftsmanship and in war.
Ali communications, whether rela-
ting to business or to the editorial con-
duct of the Journal. should be addressed
simply-'Educational Journal, Rich,

THE MONEY MARKET.

The wildness of Wall street which was
inaugurated on Friday last has not yet
abated, says the Herald. The confusion
ia the gold market remains unsettled
The stormy clements are at work, be-
cause the Gold Exchange and the Clear
ing House are impotent to still the
storm. and the Secretary of the Treasury
came into the field too late. Everybody
knows by this time the origin of the
Wall street difficulty. A band of gam
bers, in broadcloth and fine linen, con-
spired to lock up gold On Friday, and
thus make panic in the gold market,
and they succeeded in their scheme for
a time. Broker failed upon broker, land
banks closed, and the Clearing House
refused to transact business, and confu-
sioa dire and terrible lasted Tor three
days. A disruption of this kind affects
all trade and business. 1t destroys rel
alive values, aud il fact makes the pro-
gress of commerce impossible. When
specie currency is disturbed in this vio-
lent aud sudden way by combination
Of gold gamblers our whole commercial
system becomes embarrassed, so that the
evil is not con6ued to Wall street and
the Gold Room. Ii it were there would
perhaps be little cause for regret, but
the entire system OF our currency is dis
arranged, and thus the evil becomes
universal.
The Herald censures Secretary Bout
we'll for not having anticipated this state
of affairs by throwing gold enough on
the market to prevent the gamblers
from raising the panic. 1t also demands
action on the part of the authorities to
prevent recurrence of the transaction;
and informs us in another paragraph
that Senator Wilson contemplates intro
dacing bill at the next session of Con-
gress to stop the operations of gold
gamblers in Wall street. lie designs
to make it penal to sell or purchase gold
unless the full amount of coin sold is
actually delivered. e..
