POLITICAL ANECDoTE OF Hon. LEWIS
MCKENZIE. General Mckenzie, the popu lar
representative elect from the Seventh District
of Virginia TO the dist Congress, was can
didate, few years ago, for similar position
and entered into a contest for the seat, before
the House of Representatives. On his arrival
at MartiusSurg to take testimony, he found that
only two votes had been polled for him at that
precinct Prompted b. naturally and proven
tay generous disposition, he expressed de-
sire 10 see his two political friends, who, after q
dliscnt search, were found, and turocd out
to BE two Irish laborers. Having thanked
them cordially Tor their support, he asked the
favoroi their photo, apis handing them sum
OF money sufficient TO procure the same WIN
duplicates for themselves. They went on with
alacrity, highly delighted with the honor, ano
soon returned full of delight and gratitude, bav-
ing procured very faithful ifnot very handsome,
hkenesses, which they delivered to the General,
and then took enthusiastic and affectionate leave
of him declaring that he was the best man they
had ever voted for, and that if he should run
again, they would not only vote tor him, but also
eIec,ioneer for him, and fight for him If neces
sary. Alter their departure, some friend up
braided the General for the folly ano bad taste
of investing moneyin such an unslghtly par OF
pictures, 10 which he replied that he could not
prize them more highly if they were as hand
some as Adonis, and that, when man had SO
few friends as he seemed to have about there,
he could not appreciate them too highly: he,
accordingly, placed the mementos carefully in
his satche, and now, at his sumptuous home. at
Alexandria, amongst other cherished souvenirs,
he still preserves the pictures OF his two Hiber,,
MAN friends; aud he keeps them tor love and
not for beauty; for an uger pair OF mugs you
will not meet in days journey. The moral OF
this little story is that we lose nothing by being
appreciatlve and grateful even 10 the hum blest;
as the sequel in the case of General Mckenzie
proves for he has since been elected to Coz gress
BY majority SO great that it would require q
fortune to photograph the faces OF all his
friends. - Winchester Times.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER Il. 1869.

AGRICULTURAL SoctErY. committee of
the Corn Exchange, who have had the subject
under consideration, have perfected their plans,
and determined to report to a meeting of the
members of the Exchange, to be held to NOR
row, the feasibility OF organizing an Agricultu.
tural Society in this city. The committee have
been prompt aud energetic, and this Intelligence
will be gratifying TO our citizens, who, fully
aware Of the great benefits to accrue from the
successful prosecution Of the enterprise, will,
doubtless, literally aid in the formation of the
society. Our friends in the adjoining country,
and all who take an interest in agriculture, and
desire TO see Fair here that will reflect credit
upon the Valley, the Piedmont and the Tide
water counties. it is hoped, will lend their en-.
couragement to the project, and BY next fall IL
is confidently expected that the Alexandra
Agricultural Society will be in the full tide Of
successful operation. We are requested TO
say that member of the committee will visi;
Harrisonburg on Monday next, when the cti
zens Of Rockingham will have az opportunity
TO subscribe and become members of the society
The Richmond State Journal Radical organl
thinks that it will net be possible for Congress
10 arrive at "caln solution" of rcconstruc-
ton short Of Several months' rigid investiga-
ton" that there is no need Of hurryiug mat
tiers; that it will not do to restore any of the
States hastily "aud free them from Congress
sional control without abundant guarantees of
future loyalty" &C.; that Virginia can "bide
her time until her character uudergoes the
closest scratiny ," that it will perhaps be the
pleasure of Congress to postpone all action
until the result Of the elections in Texas and
Mississippi are made known, and the ratified
Constitutions of those States are sent in for
approval; that "the late rebel States must
be bound by a contract which they will not
dare to violate" that Virginia will not be
admitted uutil all the States which are still in
purgatory shall be prepared to enter in with
her that Governor Walker, as provisional
Governor, will have no power save by suffer
ance or courtesy OF the military" and that 1T
may be that the commanding General will give
him Tree rein, to see how far he will be dis
posed to go, and what line of policy he will be
eager to develope; but if no shes or balks in
harness the curb will be promptly used to tame
his mettle."
We have no doubt but that this is the pro-
sramme which the ultra Radicals in Virginia
and elsewhere will exert every effort to have
carried out to the letter. 1t depends altogether
upon Congress whether they will succeed
AS far as We can see, the recommendations
here given, and the policy heie announced,
look to delay, further requirements, further
vexa,ions and annoyauces and further trouble.
We sincerely hope these designs will be trus-
tra,ed.

Cuban affairs are becoming interesting auC
important to the great powers in Europe. as
well as to this country. A short extract from
the London Times, on the subject, will be found
in the Foreign News. la addition, it may be
stated, that the Times contends that an "ag-
gressive policy" on the part Of the United
States cannot be justified, for slavery in Cuba
has been abolished, and the Spanish govern
ment has shown its readiness to open negotia
items with the Cubans in relation to the island.

form: ~

sentation is tyranny, and
WHEREAS, Every human being is en-
dowed by the Creator with the inalien-

ReSOlred, That the Government of the

who constitute fully One-half of its sub
jects, the right of suffrage and with it
most of the privileges and emoiuments
pertaining to full citizenship is only
half republican in its character.
ReSOIred, That it is the duty of women
who are thus denied their rights of suf-
| frage to demand it, in order that the
Government may be in truth what il
processes to be, and by this means be
preserved for the welfare of future gen.
eratiOns.
ResOlred, That it is the. duty of all
progressive and truth.loving men who
would know the right and help to do it,
to unite with women in helping them
to secure the ballot, which will prove a
sufficient guarantee for all civil and So
cial rights.
Signed by the names of one hundred
and twenty ladies and gentlemen, COM

sun poured in fiercely. Jim kearney
was ring master, and twenty ring keep
ors were appointed to keep order.
The fight began at 2:40, and after con
sidesable sparring Allen received

gave heavy blows, terminating in a
clincb, in which Allen went down. Al
this point several clubs were thrown al
Allen, one of which struck him in the
cheek, causing blood to flow.
