COUNTY ORGANIZATION.


ganization because it has been found
great and economical convenience to the
people of the rural districts, who will
find it utterly impossible to get along
and have their grievances adjusted, now
that the negroes are free and have to be
policed at the public expense instead of
at the expense and by their owners as
formerly. This county organization has
been found absolutely essential in the
North and West, where people cannot
get their little grievances adjusted with
out going from one end Of large county
to the other to lodge their complaint at
The county court, which was usually held
at the county seat. By this County
Organization each peighborhood has its
regular magistrate, and if there is no
complaint there is no expense to pay for
the magistrates services. Without some
such arrangement as this, we do not see
how tho police arrangements of the rural
districts are to be preserved. Formerly
each master or hirer of negro correct
ed his servant, thereby doing the police
duty, but now that the negroes are free
this duty devolves on the public, and the
| old system will not answer. The North
ern System is found essential there, not
wltnstanding their laboring element
are whites; and if they, being whites,
require such system, how much more
will we require it with demoralized
black labor element. These are ques-
tons we will have to look at.
Besides, we should have some State
pride in this matter. If the system has
been adopted by the Northern people
AT THEIR OWN CHOICE, it shows us or
ought to show us, that it is not objec-
tionable to them; and therefore we
| should not look upon it as an infict,on
upon US, but rather as necessity for us
to meet our present condition. We hear
objections to the system owing to our
sparsely populated districts; this might
appear the most reasonable objection 10
the scheme with US, bnt then we are
assured that the State OF Illinois adop-
ted the same system when her rural dis
tricts were not half as we'll filled up
with population as ours are. If ne "
State, out West, can adopt such sys-
ten and find it advantageous, there is nc
earthly reason why the State of Virginia
| should not be benefited by similar
system.
Now, if the expense of the system
had been as burdensome to the Northern
people, or to the people of Illinois. as
the opponents of reconstruction herea-
bouts endeavor to prove it will be to us,
We all know the economical and close
calculating nature of the Northern and
Western people would never have adop-
ted the system. That's highly probable,
amt it?

gss- An impression prevails with
some of our friends that the registration
of 1867 has all to be gone over again /;
others think that mistakes only are to
be corrected and the names of unregis-

not be too careful about this matter, and
would advise every person who desires
to vote to ascertain and be sure that his
name is registered.

The sT-0ATH.-We spoke of Colonel
MILLs0N'S letter on tho test-oath, which
we published yesterday, as unanewerablc.
We meant not to pay it compliment not
due to several other essays on the same
Subject-our own amongst them; for the
case is so clear that any simple statement
Of it will conclusiyely show that the mem
bcrs of the Virginia Legislature arc not
called upon by any provision of law to take
the iron-clad oath. The whole mistake
with General CANDY is that he considers
the government under the new constitution
" PROVISIONAL 1t is real or nothing, as
Colonel MILLsoN shows. It must Of ncces-
sity begin in an incipicnt way by doing be-
fore it is approved what Congress requires
it to do-pass the fifteenth amendment !;
and to that extent it absolutely proceeds
under the authority and appreciation Of
Congress as regular Slate gouernment.
Should Congress approve the constitution
it approves the new government and MI II
has done as that of the legally-constituted
State. If it disaproyes all this, why it
simply goes for nothing. In neither case
can its acts or its inchoate state be called
provisional and the iron-clad has no
more to do with it or it with that than has
either to do with the man in the moon.

gThe Rurnors from Richmond.


We warn the people of Virginia not to be
too ready to attach Importance to rumors
from this city in relation to political AFFAIRS.
The question Of the iron-clad oath has been
referred to the Administration and VIC here
have placed reliance in the President, who
has been from the commencement the de-
cided opponent of subjecting rs to the OPP
preston of the iron-clad oath. How the
matter is to be taken from the consideration
of the authorities in Washington, or how
any proceeding dispensing with the judg-
mcnt of the Administration as it were, can
be possibly maturcd here, we cannot see.
For the best reasons we feel an abiding
faith in the President and the Cabinet; and
We arc ready to trust Congress also, should
the question be carried to that body. In
deed. the President himself has given
assurances that the tcst-oath shall not be
put upon Virginia. Therefo fore, let us be pa
tent and confding, and by no means
excited and hasty We have borne and
endured TOO long to lose ground now by
taking counsel Of our apprehensions and
doubts. The people Of Virginia can lose
nothing by patiently awaiting the decision
of the question at Washington.

The Gettvsburg Affair.

This is acknowledged by northern papers
to have been O failure, as it really was.
The sentiments of General LEE seem to be
rapidly gaining ground, and we see it
boldly proclaimed that it would be much
better Qike the G1eeks) to plow up the bat
tle-felds of civilstrife, that there should be
no monuments left to tell Of national dis
cord. There were q good many Federal
generals and soldiers present at Getty5-
burg, but they were oil of the less distin-
cuished order" shallow-water men, and
mostly of political aspirations.
Two agencies were at work to get up this
Gettysburg affair-one, party, and the other,
pecuniary. The well-knoTn Gettysburg
Katalysine Water Company stirred the
affair with indomitable energy. They had
A great deal to do with the kilograms which
we're designed to bring about what they
told would happen. Everybody on both
sides was to be there, and hardly anybody
was there. ....r -
We observe that Philadelphia paper,
after acknowledging the absence Of the
men of the Federal army who were
necessary to give dignity and potency to
the movement, is so unkind as to suggest
that the southern officers would probably
.rather unite with the Union survivors Of
"Bull Run, or of Charlottesville, on the
i" scenes of those terrible disasters, than
" with the victors of Gettysburg;" and we
might simply reply, the Union survivors
"had rather not" But why the fling
There has been no such desire expressed
here on the part of the South, and surely it
ought not to he condemned on the fancies
Of a newspaper editor.
No, the South wants peace. It is not de-
sirous of pcrpetuating passions and pain
full recollections. 1t may be answered, Be-
cause it is beaten. Let the answerers be-
ware, and prefer to build golden bridge

TnE RAcE.-It seems to be agreed that
Harvard labored under serious disadvan-
tages in the race with Oxford; yet Oxford
has made the distance over the same course
heretofore, on several occasions, in less
time-once last year by two minutes forty
and q half seconds. Nevertheless, such
were the disadvantages Of Harvard rowers
that their friends think they can, when in
perfect trim, beat the Oxonians' best time.
So nothing will answer but another race,
which will no doubt be had.
