HA- We copy the following admonis
ton to the Radicals in this State, from
the Washington National Republican, a
republican paper, and by some looked
upon as the organ Of Gen. Grant, and
emanating from such sour,e we think
the hint should be takan by our vir.
GINA turbulents, and at the same time it
should prove a gratifying evidence to
che people Of the Old Commonwealth
that their cause is in good repute at
headquarters:
THE VIRGINIA RADIcALs.-The per-
sistency with which the Radical Repub-
licans in the Virginia Legislature insist
on the dead wood material OF the test
oaths and provisional forms Is depre-
Gated here by all well-wishers Of the
Republican party in the State. 1t is
felt that such action only increases the
difficulty of the reorganization and con-
solidation Of the entire Republican
strength of the State, and will, in the
end throw the responsibility of the
failure Of such action upon the Radicals
themselves. Besides, the admission Of
Virginia by Congress, which is morally
certain, will put this section of the party
in that State at issue with Congress and
the Republican party Of the country. 1t
il hoped, here, that if the y can only act
to their own manifest injury, being a
powerless minority, they will refrain
from acting at all.

STATE RIGHTS vs.. INDIVIDUAL
RIGHTS,

The position of the South since she
has come out of the war has so far
changed towards the other States in the
Union that there remains not a particle
Of reason why she should ever again as.
sumo to be champion of the State rights
doctrine. She has fought her fight no.
bly, in dsfencs of her opinion on that
score, and superior numbers have caused
her to bs conquered. There was time
when the Southern States formed a
large part of the Union, and at that
time they exercised controlling infu-
ence in the governing policy of the
country. But that time has passed long
since. for the formation of SO many new
States has overborne her in the count
OF strength, and tue South MUST hereaf-
ter be governed by the majority which
is against her. 20
State rights were crushed by the result
Of the war--that is, the view of State
rights that has heretofore agitated this
country; and it is now the duty of the
Southern people to look to individual
rights. Let the people look TO their
material prosperity and leave politics
alone. Let us educate our children to
the great importance OF building up our
section of the country in commerce, ag.
rlenlture, manufacturers, mining, the
arts and sciences. These will bring Us
wealth and power, and with wealth and
power in the scale, we will have that to
assert our rights that none will dare
question. There can be no doubt of
this proposition. 1t is plainly manifest
from the South's former position in the
Union. When the South held the pow
es in the Union she proclaimed State
Eights,and State rights were, to certain
extent, popular: but see how the matter
changed when she lost her power, or
numerical strength, in the Union.
SO that we are perfectly satisfied that
individual rights is vastly of more inn
portance to the Southerner than any
thing in the shape of State rights; in
fact, it becomes the foundation of all
rights we may reasonably look to enjoy
In the future. GET POWER, is the mot
to for us hereafter. Develop our inns
mense resources, and from them get
power, and that power will give us all
the rights we may need hereafter. Phil
osephise the matter as you may, but
you will always find in dealing with
nations as with individuals, might goes
long way towards making right.

THE ELECTIONS,

Washington, October 13.--A careful
comparison, based on partial returns
from thirty counties, including Phila-
delphia and Allegheny, show demo-
cratic gain of nearly 1000. The re-
naming counties must average gain
of nearly two hundred to elect Packer.
Geary's majority in Philadelphia is
$3.50.
Both branches of the Pennsylvania
Legislature are democratic.
Cincinnaei, October 13.--Hamilton
county gives Pendleton 500 majority,
and elects the entire Democratic mnni-
cipal ticket. Pendleton is defeated by
very small majority--the correct re-
turns may yet elect him. The House is
Democratic and the Senate Republican.
This defeats the States sanction to the
fifteenth amendment.
Cleveland, October 13.--Returns from
one-third of the State Hayes losses
5000. This average carried throughout
the State will elect Hayes by 5000
Many Democratic strongholds are still

Transmission of sgenta. oisease

DIR. Charles Elm, an English physician
has just published book in which med
ical problems are discussed. OF the
transmission of mental disorders, he
says:
There is no form of heritage more
remarkable than that of the tendency to
suicide without any other marks Of alb
erration Of intellect DR. Winslow re
lates the case of a family where all the
members exhibited, when they arrived
at the certain age, a desire to commit
self destruction, to accomplish which the
greatest ingenuity and industry were
manifested DR.. Gall relates very stri-
king instance of seven children of one
man who all enjoyed competency and
good health, yet all possessed rage for
suicide, and all yielded to it within thirty
or forty years. Some hanged, some
drowned themselves, and others blew out
their brains Many other examples OF
the same tendency are brought forward
by the same writer. Imay add one cas- e
to the above from my own experience.
Sitting one day with an acquaintance,
I noticed some depression in his spirits.
After prolonged silence, he broke out
into the following dreary attempt at con-
versation: My grandfather hung him
self, my uncle took poison, my father
shot himself, shall cut my throat The
facts were correct; but constant surveil-
lance prevented the sequel in his own
history"

The Thrifty Swiss.

\ correspondent Of the London Times
writes from Switzerland an account OF
some investigations concerning the con-
ditIon Of the peasantry. A Swiss hotel
keeper on the Righi gave him the fol.
lowing information
81 asked him of his own parish, and
he told me that such thing as pecuni:
ary relief to aged or distressed paupers
was thing. unknown. Relief in kind,
consisting of milk, food or clothing
from charitable society, was the only
form Of public outdoor assistance. He
showed me The last years balance-sheet,
containing the account Of all moneys
that had passed through his hands as
public officer for the past year; and it
was one that. for its smallness might fill
the hearts of any English Board OF
Guardians with envy and admiration.
'iIe admitted to me that the young
people when they first married were frc-
quentIy mot worth so much as a teaspoon
between them,' to use his own express
ion; and yet It vas rare very rare. that
they ever had occasion to invoke parish
assistance in their old age.
wishing to pursue the subject furth-
er, procured from him al order to Wis
it the Union House itself. 1t is in the
midst Of the large important parish of
Gersau, which contains, among other
things, two important silk factories, be-
sides a very considerable rural popula
ton. And yet the only inmates whom
l saw here were one aged hero who had
fought at Waterloo, and q few chubby
orphans under the care of two Kind
bright-looking sisters. "
