misgovernment, and who are
most capable and most relia-
BILE.
The prospect Of such a state
of things is most gratifying to
a people who have suffered SO
much and so long. It should
fire their resolution to discharge
their duty to the State entirely
and ardently, What though
they may not all Of them like
the manner of doing things !
What though their sentiments
may be against conforming to
the requirements of force -
They have no right to consult
their sentiments. 1t is a day
of stubborn and irresistible
facts. We have no right to
consult sentiment and feeling
when the very life of the State
is at stake when there are wo-
men and children and helpless
old people to support and pro-
tect. A man may feel that he
can take care of himself when
the worst comes F.; but he has no
right to peril the helpless part
of society by all act of reckless
ness.
We know that the people Of
Virginia are practical enough,
andmanly and patriotic enough,
to make any sacrifice of feeling
which the we'll being of the
State demands of them. If they
but do this it will not be many
months before we shall have
plenty employment, with good
pay for the laborer a lively
commerce, manufactures rapid
ly extending, population in
creasing, thrift everywhere, and
contentment and abundance for
all.
This is something to work
for.

Reconstruction of Virginia.

The precise mode of framing
the military order for the vote
on the constitution is a matter
of great Importance in deter.
mining political results, and
the probability is that it will be
very carefully considered by the
President after the adjourn
ment of the Senate gives him
time to take up the matter.
Meantime Governor Wells and
his allies, Messrs. Chandler,
Bond and others of his wing of
the Virginia republicans are
here using their best exertions
to have the order framed in
their interests. The President
will probably have his eyes
open and watch these gentle
men very carefully, as he is
very well acquainted with the
practical part OF these recon
struction matters. The conser-
natives and moderate republic
cans have no representation
here at present and appear to
be of the opinion that their in
terests will take care OF them
selves without special atten-
ton. There are already indi-
cations Of q lively stir in Vir-
GINA over the constitution and
the election Of members of Con-
gress, State Legislature and
Governrr. The present indi-
cations are that Gilbert G. Wal
ker, candidate of the Grant re-
publican wing, will be elected
by a large majority over all OPP
position. Wells, radical, and
Withers, conservative, are the
other candidates.

THE DAYLIGHT.
From the Richmond Dispatch. ]

At last we see day light.
There is a way opened for US to
pass out of our prostration and
oppression. A wise and har-
monious policy will soon take
this oppressed people out OF
their great troubles and put
them on the highway to order
and prosperity 1t is grateful
to look forward to what we may
accomplish by availing our
selves of our present opportuni-
ty with all our mind and
strength. We shall have reli-
able men at the head of the
Government, confidence will be
restored, capital will be invited
into the State, industry will be
systematized and encouraged,
enterprise will be stimulated,
ana the sunshine of thrift and
contentment will be diffused
over the State. All this will
follow the restoration of our
people to equal participation in
government, the entrusting OF
public affairs to those who must
DO the heaviest sufferers from
