THE RESULT IN VIRGINIA.


Virginia has vindicated the wisdom of the
policy proposed by General Grant and sane
toned by Congress for perfecting reconstruc-
ton. The ordeal is all but ended, and the
title OF Virginia to take it's place among the
reconstructed States as q member of the
Union is practically established. The details
of Tuesdays election which remain to be
furnished will not affect the general result
BY faithful compliance with the law the State
has emancipated itself from military rule. 1t
has established its right to self-government
by fulfilling literally the conditions devised
by Congress in a manner prescribed by the
President A Constitution which, with many
faults, brings the government of the State
into harmony with Federal policy, has been
ratified The provisions by which selfish adj
venturers sought to control local affairs by
imposing disabilities upon the worthiest citi-
Zens have been voted down. Negro enfran-
chisement is complete, and the only disa-
bility borne by white men is that which ope-
rates under the fourteenth amendment A
State ticket has been elected which repre-
sents the character, the intelligence, the
wealth, and enterprise of the people, as dis
tinguished from organized Ignorance and
viciousness. And a Legislature has been
chosen, whose members, eligible under the
law, are prepared to finish the allotted task by
ratifying the pending constitutional amend
ment. A result in all respects satisfactory is
thus assured.
The end has not been attained without
much painful and suggestive experience.
| There has been delay, which the Virginians
| were not able to correct, but for the conse-
| quences of which they have been held respon-
| sible. They made earnest and honest efforts
in 1866 to bring back the State to the Union
on what were then considered the required
| terms. In October of that year men were
elected to Congress who had been known
throughout the contest as quasi Unionists;
but Congress denied their admission anl de-
manded fresh guarantees. The reaction
throughout the South was instant and not un.
natural; and Virginia shared it fully. A
policy OF mastery inactivity was adopted,
and native Virginians of character and in.
fluence, retiring from all participation in
public affairs, took the body of the people
win them, leaving the State in the hands OF
huNehturers, whose sole idea of the use OF
government was to retain the power anarchy
ha9 gwen them, by wholesale coniscatioI
ana prescription. Ignoring the general wei
iare ana considering only themselves the,
sought TO entranchise all who were sure tS
vote against them, and were thus guilty OF
the criminal folly OF attempting to found 4
free government in which only fraction OF
= the governed had a voice. -
The Underwood constitution of 1867 restad
upon these sinister and intolerant ideas. II
aimed at the incorporation of prescription as
an element of the organic law, and the tram
: fer of all State authority to the ignoran
and worthless portion of the population
1t was contriyance for securing Stat,
? authority in hands least fitted to use i

THE IRISH CHURCH BILL.

On Tuesday evening, in the House of Lords,
the Irish Church bill having been in a few
particulars slightly altered, passed the COM
mittee. In its amended form the bill WILL
without delay, be read third time in the
Lords, and sent down to the Commons for
approval. 1t is not our opinion that the Com
mons will accept all the amendments, for
the altefations made by the Lords are not nu-
merous, some of them seriously affect the
principles on which the measure as a whole is
based 1t will not be difficult, however, for
the Commons so to modify the bill as to put
an end to further opposition. In few weeks
at most the bill will be back again in the

The Last of Pierre NIOmble, the ST. Denis Mur-
dPrpr.

The Last oil Ilerre NiODiDIe, the ST. Denls MUIR
A Paris correspondent writes-
Pierre MOmble the st. Denis murderer, was
guillotined on the morning of the 9TH in the
Place de In RoQuette. He savagely killed his
mistress who had long lived with him us his
wife, from a feeling of jealousy, which, accord.
ing to the oath of the police agent who was the
object of his suspicion, was unfounded. Nom
BILE was man of low organization, and had he
killed the woman only would doubtless have
obtained eXtenuating circumstances. But he
also hacked to pieces with hatchet in
the dead of night her son, q lad II
years old, who was sleeping by her
side. NJ. Alex. Lava, his advocate, in
was killed accidentally. NJ. Laya subsequently
had an interview with the Emperor at st. Cloud
to solicit a commutation for his client on the
ground that he was a coarse, brutalman, scarcely
responsible for his actions. The Emperor kept
NJ. Laya with him three-quarters of an hour
listened most attentively to all he had to say
showed a thorough knowledge of all the points
of the case, and concluded the audience, accord
ing to the established usage, by saying he would
talk the matter over with the Minister OF JUS
tice. The conclusion come to was that the law
must take IT'S course. At the execution an un-
usual and horrible spectacle occurred. BY some
lnaccuracy IN the mode of strapping the criminal

CANTILLON.
of Napoleou,s Sergeant.

The Sergeant CantillOn, whose death was
briefly announced a few days since, deserves a
few words OF notice if only on account of the
greatness which was thrust upon him. After
the battle of Wagram he was promoted to the
rank of sergeant of grenadiers of the Imperial
Guards. Towards the end of December OF 1915
n pistol was fired at the Duke of Wellington in
one of the streets of Paris, and all the sous
officers of the Old Guard resident in the city
were arrested. Suspicion more especially
attached itself to CantillOn, who was arraigned
but acquitted for want of evidence. Napoleon
however, seeming to look upon his old sergeant
somewhat in the light of n hero bequeathed to
him in his will the sum of 10000 francs. The
legacy was paid to Cantillon in 1928 by NJ. Laf-
ftte, at the same time rs the legaces to Baron
Iarrey and others. Bonapartes recollection of
his guardsman seems to have been an after
thought for the bequest forms part of the fourth
codicil to his will, and is dated April "A, 1921.
The terms of the will are rs follows:-
Fifth item. Ten thousand francs to sub-oflicer
CantillOn, who has been tried for consplring to
assassinate Lord Wellington, of which he has
been declared innocent. Cantillon had us much
right to assassinate that oligarch rs those had
who sent me to perish on the rock of ST. Helena.
Wellington, who proposed this attempt, seeks
to Justify it by the interests of Great Britain
If CantillOn had actually assassinated Lord
Wellington, he would be protected and justified
by the same motiyes-the interests OF France tC
despatch a general who, besides, had violated
the capitulation of Paris, and in doing 50 rem
dered himself responsible for the blood of the
martyrs Ney, Labedoyere, etc. and the crime O
plundering the museums, contrary to the text o
the treaties.
