THE BEST PREACHING.

The Rev. Mr.. Sturgeon, Of
London, said recently in the
introduction of his sermon:
1T has been sometimes debated
whether practical, experiment
tai, or doctrinal preaching was
the best kind and most useful.
He should not enter into the
discussion of the question, but
he might say that in exclusive
ly doctrinal preachers he had
observed q tendency to dispute
and quarrel; in experimental
preachers a tendency to dis
parage and judge others, whilst
those who had been practical
had degenerated into legality,
and the grace ofGod had evap-
grated. The very best preac h.
ing was that which had most
Of Jesus Christ in it, for it
gathered up the excellences
of the three classes he had
mentioned into one person,
since for practice Christ was
the way, for doctrine Christ
was the truth, and for expert
ence Christ was the life. 'l7' 10

NORFOLK AND PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE 25 1869

itself, will depend very much
on the character of the men who
fill the offices. Ifthe Constitu-
ton be expurgated as proposed,
the whites in most Of the coun-
ties can protect themselves. A
Conservative Governor and Lee
gislature can do much in q le-
climate way to mitigate the
mischiefs Of this and some other
provisions Of the constitution.
But the whites, if they have
the majority, can amend the
constitution, and after there is
some experience Of the opera
ton of this instrument, I think
it probable that many of the
blacks will unite in call for
the change. Those at least
amongst them who hold prop
erty and understand their in
terests.
I have given the reasons
which, in my opinion, make it
proper for Virginia to accept
even the Underwood constitu-
ton if it should be so expurgat-
ed as to bestow the political
power of the State upon the
white race, which constitutes
the majority Of its people. |
would accept almost any con-
stitution which would have that
effect. would do almost any
thing to see a State government
composed of Virginians who
would respect her honor and re-
present her interests. There
may be worse things, | know,
than military government, but
it was reserved for these extra
ordinary times to force that
conviction on the mind of one
trained up in the enjoyment
and tradition Of social and in
dividual liberty. | confess,
however, that l am weary Of

queror in the scale ofjustice. |

DAME DIMPLE.


Little dame Dimple, so merry and wise,
Shaking your tangled locks over your eyes;
What are you plotting this sunshiny day,
Under the apple trees over the way2
All the birds know you, you queer little
elf
Sometimes think you're birdie yourself;
Chasing the honey bees home as they pass,
Watching the crickets as they chirp in the
grass.
Where is your sunbonnet, dainty and
neat ?
Where are the shoes for your bare little
feet?
Little brown fingers that hid them so we'll,
What will you do if your secret tell ?
One chubby hand holds the frock at your
knee,
Filled full OF treasures most wondrous to
see;
Beetles that crawled in the dust at your
feet, .5#I ..+.....
Grasshoppers, pebbles, and clover-heads
sweet.
See there's butterfly cleaning like gold,
Down goes the frock with its riches un-
told
Dear little Dimple, we older folks too,
Drop our old treasures to reach for the
new. ...I.... -.s. .

Letter of Ee. wi. II. Hunter

We find in the Enquirer an
able letter from this distinguish
ed gentleman in favor of Walk
er and the expurgated Consti-
tuition. The following extract
will embody the strength Of the
positions taken
Those who framed the Con-
stitution, seem to have looked
more to the punishment and
the humiliation of a large ma
.jority of the white race, than to
the ends of justice and good
government; a scheme of gov
eminent devised for the injury
Of a decided majority of those
to be affected by it, cannot be
made acceptable to that party,
unless indeed it be so amended
as to transfer the moving power
of the government to them, or
unless it is plain that they have
to choose between the instru-
ment with amendments or with
out them. a@a raH
After some reflection | have
come to the conclusion that
such is our case at present.
IF we can so amend the consti-
tuition as to strike out those
clauses which disqualify and
disfranchise so many, the whites
will have q decided majority OF
the voters, and thus WELD the
political power Of the State. If
they administer that power, as
I trust they will, with justice
and a proper consideration for
all, the Conservative party, OF
which the whites constitute so
large a majority, will continue
to increase. When the blacks
perceive that their rights as
now established will be respect
ed, and themselves treated with
justice and proper regard. they
will open their eyes to their
true policy and, in time, act
with US, when they will per-
ceive that in Federal legisla-
ton our interests are the same.
This process will be slow, it
is true, but we ourselves may
probably make it sure. At pre-
sent they are misled by improp-
err influences exercised over
them by those who are looking
only to office, and by a distrust
of us, who they are made to be-
lieve would use political power
unjustly and to their injury: -
1t will not be long before they
learn the true motives and char
acter of those who now deceive
them, and in time | trust they
will dismiss their fears of US
Should this state of things be
brought about, society will
move more tremendously and
bannilv Rut whether it does
or not, with removal of the
two great disqualifying clauses
in the constitution the whites
WELD the political power
of the State, a power to which
they are entitled by the
tests Of intelligence, numbers
and property, whether oonsid-
cred separately or together
The Underwood Constitution
administered by the Conserya
tives will be q very different
thing from the same Constitu
ton administered by Wells ant
his party. lido not go the length
of saying that the government
which is best administered i
best, but believe that yer.

General Grant and the Boheminn..

The Bohemian journals have been engaged
since election In publishing sensation stories
OF conversations with General Grant on the
subject Of his policy and his Cabinet. These
accounts have naturally been colored in &C
cordance with the interests or proclivitics Of
their authors The various. ''rings' Of the
whiskey stills, the revenue department and the
lobby have been assured by the President
elect that the services Of Secretary Seward
will not be overlooked that Morgan has the
inside track for the Treasury, aud that the
faithful republicans who have been in Office
for the past three or four years, in internal
revenue coectorsbips, assessorships and the
like, will not be interfered with. The ''outs"
have been equally reliably informed that Gene
raj Grant will put his foot down on all
jobs with which the aforesaid outs are not
associated; that he will ignore radicalism in
the selection Of his Cabinet. and call 10 bis

The Paris Conference and the Eastern
Question.

Question.
At the last hour, when the Conference was
about to meet, the Sultan asked delay; but
delay was refused, and the Porte had no choice
but to bow to the decision OF the great Powers.
The representative of the Greek government,
we learn at the same time, will have no vote
in the Conference. So, no doubt, will 1t be
with that Of Turkey. The great Powers,
therefore, will take the entire question into
their own hands. An arrangement in all like
lihood will be come to the Porte will be called
upon to withdraw It's ultimatum, and then
Greece will have to accept the terms pre-
scribed. Such is the programme so far as we
know IT, Turkey seems firm and determined
to yield nothing to her rather puppyish and
impertinent little neighbor. If the great
Powers agree both Turkey and Greece will be
compelled to yield. That the Western Powers
will be Of one mind there can be no doubt. A
great deal depends on the course which Russia
may take. If Russia demands too much from
Turkey It may be very hard for the combined
wisdom Of Europe to prevent another war.
War once begun, where will IL end? Com
bustlblc Europe is in great danger. Even M.
dc Ia valette must now be seeing specks on
the horizon.
The New York herald., 1869-01-10

counsel statesmen of the type of Charles
Francis Adams and General Mcclellan. Some
politicians have received the most positive
proof that the coming man win draw about his
Cabinet Ben Wade, Ben Butler, Zach Chandler,
Fenton, Greeley and others of the extreme
radical kidney; while others have heard from
his own lips that the conservative element viii
preponderate in his administration. By one
set he is represented as declaring his deter
mined opposition to the Pacific Railroad grants
and all other Congressional jobs; but this
statement has scarcely made its appearance
before we have full and explicit denial of its
authenticity in graphic imaginary conversa-
ton, in which Grant is made to avow his ap-
probation Of all railroad enterprises and his
profound respect for all the measures of Con-
gress.
We have the highest authority for pronounc-
ing all these reported conversations and reli-
able statements, whether emanating from Con-
gressmen, lobby politicians or Bohemians,
fabrications out of whole cloth. There is not
one word Of substantial truth in any one of
eucm ehus hoc hSiSeoioAC uppCuiSus boi VIII
there be any truth in any of them that may
appear for some time to come, and for the
good and sufficient reason that General Grant
has not yet, and is not likely for several
weeks, to determine definitely in his own mind
what particular line of policy he shall pursue
or who will be called upon to take seats in his
Cabinet. The President elect does not profess
to be a politician, nor has his past life rem
dered him familiar with public men until with
in the past two years. He has sufficient
practical sense to know that in these days
month brings forth important developments,
and that events may occur within few weeks
which may entirely reverse the calculations
and projects Of to-day. General Grant will,
therefore, wait and watch, in order that when
the proper time arrives, with the whole field
spread out before him and the position of all
the forces known, he may intelligently deter
mine upon his line of action. Whoever knows
more than this Of General Grants policy and
Cabinet appointments is better posted on those
subjects than is the General himself up to the
present moment, and we can ease the minds
of all restless politicians by the assurance, on
very reliable authority, that the conversation
stories of the Bohemians are all bosh.
