The February term Of the Hastings Cour'
co-oroenced today, but none but civil busl-

the notice may come in time TO enable MIN

The application of the Library Assocla-
,;on for exemption from city taxation was
rejected by the Common Council YESTERDAY
evening by a majority of one. There was
q long and earnest debate on the suolect )
and tbe members Of the Finance Commit
tee which reported adversely on the petit

fulness over the material interests OF the
city. The question Of law, Judging from
the legal opinions submitted to the Council
appears to be nice one; and it is under
stood that the Library Association, not salts
fed with the decision, will take the case up
by appeal to the circuit court.

For the Dispatch.
The Enquirer and Examiner of February
9TH contains q letter from Governor Letcher
in which he gives some account of the Visit
of MIR. Horace H. Day to Lexington, Va, IN
September, 1868.
My recollection Of the purpose or That
visit concurs with that Of Gov. Letcher-
VIZ, that Mr.. Day, and those for whom ne
nrofessed to act, desired the Conservatives
of Virginia to declare for negro suffrage as
q meeps Of influencing the Presidential
election in the northern States and OF gain
ing political control of the negroes OF the
South.
talked thig matter over with Governor
Letcher soon after it happened, and found
that, without conference or concert, we had
placed our rejection Of the proposition upon
substantially the same grounds. 1t seems
that my conversation with Mr.. Day pre-
cedcd that Of Governor Letcher, RS Mr.. Day
told Governor Letchcr Of my refusal and
the reasons gave for it.
Governor Lctcher does not say what
either of us gave as the reasons for re-
fusing; but they were, substantially, that
the people of Virginia were thoroughly
opposed to negro suffrage, and would not
have it if they could possibly prevent it:
The Eaquirer and Examiner, commenting
On the letter of Governor Letoher, says edi-
torially:
"By-the-way, is not Ex-Governor Letcher
mistaken in saying that Mr.. Days over
lures were rejected by two members of the
committee of nine? If he refers to the
two members we have in our mind, our
-, formo t;nn 10 inst I'll q revnrea -
Now, if this means anything, il means
that, in the face of the statement Of Co.
vernon Letcher, derived from Mr.. Day him
self, the Enquirer and Examiner has infor-
nation which justities or excuses the allie
cation that two members of the committee
OF nine, in September last or thereabout,
accepted, or assented to in sense Z" just
the reverse" of rejecting, overtures Of Mr..
Day such as are described by Governor
Letcher, or some proposition Of like effect,
involving in some form or to some extent
negro suffrage in Virginia.
| am one of the committee of nine. [
was in Lexington at the time referred to,
and had an interview with Mr.. Horace II.
Day such as Governor Letcher describes.
feel warranted, therefore, in calling on
those who conduct the Enquirer and En-
an,iner to say whether l am one Of the
1.-TWO members" alluded to, and if 80, to
give the authority OIL which the statement
above quoted is founded.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN B. BALDWIN.

The Story of a Physician

An eminent physician, in Hearth
and Home, tells the following excel
lent story for the benefit of young
mothers, He says: "An intelligent
young mother inquired some days
since how she could best preserve
her child's linen clean and sweet
when changed frequently during the
day. / directed her never to dry it
by the fire, but in the sun and open
air if the weather permitted. You
thus not only avoid saturating the
air of your room with the volatile
and poisonous gases driven out of
the linen, but the suns rays have
powers of cleansing and disinfecting,
which artificial heat has not, and will
purify and preserve the linen. She
followed my directions, but as is too
often the practice, dried and aired
it in the nursery window. Her fas-
tidious husband demonstrated III
vain against this unseemly exposure.
Believing that if she saw her prac-
tice as others saw it, she would de
sist, he so directed their afternoon
walks as to bring the nursery-win
dow in full view from a central part
in town. Stopping abruptly, he
pointed to the offending linen flap
ping conspicuously in the breeze, and
asked sarcastically: "My dear
what is that displayed from our win
dow p "Why," she promptly re
piled, "that is the flag of our Union!
Conquered by this pungent retort
he saluted the flag with a swing o
his hat, and pressing his wife's arm
closer within his own, said, as the,
walked homeward, "And long ma.
it wave"

The Face of a Record of Life.

The record of a mans moral and
intellectual life is written in his face,
in such indellible and striking lines
that anybody tolerahly well skilled
in the science of physiogmomy can
can quickly and accurately measure
subtle, unseen character. There is
an old maxim that L" blood tells, y and
it does reveal its gentle or borish, its
virtuouS or vicious nature in physi-
cal movements of the body and modes
Of expression, and also in prevailing
and related ideas. So likewise char
acter is perpetually struggling
against the bonds of restraint and
pushing out into the broad daylight
of actual recognition. By careful
reticence at the right time, and com
bined with shrewd management,
man may pass current for altogether
more than his actual value. But
sooner or later the muscles of his
face and the speaking eye let out the
secret of the interior life.
1t is a great study, these human
faces looking up from the audience
room, the social circle, the street, the
car, booming out an eifulgence of
goodness and sympathy, or frowning
under the rigors of disappointment
or flashing out defiance and contempt
for the sources of their discomfort.
! The young man, who aspires to no
thing higher than the character of a
universal bruiser,n may forget that
his coarse passions are all photo
graphed on his face in such a man
ner that all discerning people can
read him through at almost the first
glance. We cannot see ourselves as
others see us, and that explains away
very much of the impudence and
swagger of the multitude, which pass
for genuine energy and life,
If you would know more of an ac
9uaintance than age, occupation, ca
pacity and temper-if you would in
spect the secret sources where III
draws the supplies of impulse ant
comfort along life's toilsome ant
dusty pathway, look into his face ana
read the whole elaborate story Of hi
striving, his loves and aversions, hi
triumphs and failures, it is all there
locked upon tieShy characters, in til,
folds and furrowsmadeby the plough
share of time andtoil, or the exhaust
ing stimulants of prodlgality. w
; literally turn ourselves inside on
through the face. The love, tn
composure, the passion, the unrest
the weakness, the angel and tn
beast of our natures, all collect an,
come TO a focus in the face and max
disclosures that no magical arts ca
conceal. And it seems to us tina
when the Apostle said, & some men
sinsare open beforehand, going bef6r
to Judgment" he must have bee
looking into the hypocritical face
E of the old Scribes and Pharisee'
Throughout all her wonderful dive
sity and magniticence, Nature al
hors concealment; and this account
!. for, and magnifies too, the revel;
8 tiOns of character shining in the HI
! man face divine.
