Live Men for the opening Era.

In the new era that is about to be in-
augurated in Virginia, the people should
see to it that old politics, and such old
politicians as are stone blind to the new
light, and are determined to cling obsti-
uately to exploded theories, dogmas and
practices, shall not clog them and i'm
pede thei- progress. They should call
into their service, not only in political
stations, but in their public works, their
industrial enterprises, and their corpor-
ations, live, sagacious, ar-seeing, prac-
tical men. imbued with the spirit of the
times, emancipated from the thraldom
of old notions, prejudices and habits,
and capable Of conducting the interests
committed to them into those channels
which promise the highest degree of
prosperity. For the most part they
will have to take new men, especially
10 politics. But there will be numerous
and honorable exceptions to this rule
Those, however prominent hitherto in
politics, and whatever their years, who
have not halted behind the march of
events, and are not broken down in
health, spirits aud usefulness-who have
good appetites, strong teeth, and elastic
joints-who can discern new fact and
use it, however unwelcome-such men
as these are not to be thrown aside.
They are trumps, and should be cher
ished. i-'-. -f.sr
But it is principally from among new,
robust, 1.-THE, live men that we will have
to choose-men who will not endeavor
to keep it dark and gloomy forever be-
cause their old sun and moon and stars
have gone out and given place to other
lights.
In our business affairs we must have
men of action and of progress; the kind
of men who preside over our chief works
of internal Improvement. At the head
of this class, by universal acknowledges
ment, stands the president Of the cons
solidated lines.-Generai Malone.
None, however high and distinguished
in the same department of usefulness,
will experience one jealous throb by
reason of our naming him and him alone
to illustrate our view. We mean no
dispAragement of them, for they de-
serve nothing but praise.-Whig.

Barring BROTHERS TAKE A HAND.
In the leading Broad street brokerage
house we heard it asserted as fact that
: the famous house of Barring Brothers, OF
London, telegraphed to Duncan, Sher-
man & Co. that they bad deposited in
the Bank of England ten millions in
gold to their credit. The reports were
, various as to whether it was ten mill
lions of dollars or ten millions sterling.
Tine name of Richard Schell was quoted
as an authority for the rumor, and that
on his credit the house of Duncan ,Sher-
man & Co. obtained ten millions dollars
in gold from sub-Treasurer Butter6eld,
which was at once thrown on the mar
ket with most disastrous effect on the
"bulp' party.

The Fifth Avenue Hotel was the
scene of the widest excitement Friday

to be trus1ad, the following well-known
and heavy houses have failed: Messrs.

the cases submitted, it would seem that
the parties do not merely negotiate pur-
chases, but actually buy the rags which
are delivered into their possession, and
they'are not, therefore, considered to be
liable to any special. tax either as ped
lers or as commercial brokers by reason
thereof.
If, however, the title to the property
in the rags becomes vested in the pur-
chasers, and they then sell the same at
any fixed place, they should be regar-

tax as such if their sales exceed 1000

The Fund for the AyOndale Sufferers
and Method Of Distribution.

Marshall Tooker, of the mayor,
Office, New York, having inquired O
the chairman of the executive com.
mittee Of the Ayondale Fund how the
fund will be disposed Of, a statement
has been furnished by tbs committee
dated Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept, %, from
which the following ia extracted: -
The whole plan and scheme of dis
tribution is substantially liked upon -
1t will be finally adopted and made
public on Monday next. The who'e
sum raised and to be raised will be APP
propriated to the aid, relief and SUI :
port of the widows and orphans, fathers
and mothers of the unfortunate men
who met their death under such terri
BILE and appalling circumstances in the
Avondale colliery on the 9Th inst, and
such other persons as were dependent
upon their labor for subsistence. !.
t1,he trustees will appropriate, for
present emergencies and the current
year, to those who are entitled to re-
ceive It. say $4,000, being ohe-fifth
of the whole fund, assuming the aggre-
gate to be 100000, This will give
each widow 5000, each ophan 500,
leaving proper allowance also for any
other proper claim.
The remainder of the fund, say
$4,000, will constitute permanent
widows and orphans fund, vested in
good securitiei that may be readily con-
vertible into cash, and Invisible as fol-
lows: One-third to constitute the
widows fund and the remaining two
thirds to constitute an orphans fund.-
As the number of widows is seventy
three, and the orphans one HUNDRED and
ffty-six, this would seem to be proper
assignment to each class. From each
of these funds the respective GLASSES will
secure such annual quarterly allowance
as is deemed sufficient for comfortable
support. The fund Is large; the bene.s
fciaries numerous; their elaine to con-
sideration must be considered each upon
its own merits. To do our work well
we must rely upon the indulgence as
we'll as good sense of the contributors
to exercise reasonable amount Of
patience - tL tE

HORACE GREELEY,
SENATOR FROM VIRGINIA !

We would advise the reader not to
attempt to digest it in a moment. Take
time aud ponder 1t in all its aspects
and bearings. 1t is In strict keeping
with the irresistible progress and limit
less sweep of thought characteristic Of
this age and land. 1t Is entirely new.
No other State, since the foundation of
the Government, has ventured on so
grand an experiment. Heretofore
each petty State felt itself hidebound
and constrained 10 con6ne itself in
selecting Senators to its limited area.
Now, that we are substantially inter-
dicted from choosing from our own
bailiwick, fortunately the "whole un-
bounded continent is ours" We are
free to range from sea to sea, aud to
choose the wisest and most eminent
citizen, without regard to the absurd
and belittling restriction of locality. 1t
is ours to seize and appropriate extra
ordinary merit wherever we can find It,.
The Constitution only requires thirty
years of age, nine years citizenship aud
an inhabitant of the State-a day or
an hour is sufficient. Mr.. Greeley is
already freeholder in our State, deep
ly interested in our well-being, and he
has only to hang up his hat among vi
for one night to meet all the require.
ments of the Constitution. 1851 -
So much for the general view; the
particular considerations bearing upor
this case are Of controlling influence
We have deliberately weighed them
and found them good-better-best
Mr.. Gree!ey's election would dissipate
all our home difficulties and compose
al oar domestic factions: good I Hi.
loyalty is unimpeached and unimpeach
able, and he would take US back int
the Union without q iostle-the belli
cose Butler himself would be awed int,
respectful and admiring silence: bet
ter Mr.. Greeley has done US NOR
harm ,ps haps, than any other one per
son; he IS anxious to repair it. He il
the most influential tunof6ciaD individ
ual in this land, and is able to do th
good work his heart is set upon best
Through all our latest trou les he ha
been our firm u wavering and efficien
friend. A generous, who'e-souled re
cognition of the obligation would no
. be more honorable to him than cred
