DEATH OF DANIEL PERRY. - The
Free Press announces the death of an
other old and well-known citizen of
Burlington. Mr.. Perry removed to
Burlington from Richmond, Mass,
over forty years ago, and settled upon
the farm south Of the city which he ever
after occupied, and on which, at his
own request, he will be buried. He has
been in poor health for a long time,
failing rapidly during the last month,
so that his death was not wholly unex-
pected. His sons, Prof. j. B. Perry, of
Cambridge, Mass, and Geo. w. Perry,
Esq, of Chicago, ILL.,, were sent for and
arrived in time to receive his last COM
mands. He leaves widow and three

miles wide, having Poultney in its CEN
ter, will cover all the slate lodges of any
value that have been opened. A total
of SO, coo tons of slate were shipped from
five stations on the Rutland and Wash
ington Railroad last year. The bust
ness is yet in its infancy, the first slate
having been taken out but little more
then twenty-five years ago, and the
bulk of the business being of much more
recent growth. New companies are
constantly being formed develop these
lodges. The capital invested is increas-

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS

The National Intelligencer of Friday
has an able article on this subject, and
we commend to the attention of our
readers the following views of this able
and Influential journal
Virginia has been in state of doubts
full organism since April, 1865. For
four years capital has been itching to
invest in her borders, but has been de-
tered: first by fear that confscation
would invalidate titles; second, that a
war of races would endanger the lives
and property of citizens; and third, by
the hue and cry of prescription and
ostrocism of Northern people. Tens of
millions of European and Northern
capital and thousands of people have
been prevented from investing and set
thing in that State from these causes.
And it seems clear to us that all these
evils may in turn be attributed to the
uncertainty of her organic laws, the only
charter by which vested rights can be
maintained
Are we correct in our supposition
If yes, then is it not of the first i'm :
portance to settle the question of fun
damental organism upon some definite
and permanent basis I? Capital is not
only conservative, but it is also proven
bially coward-extremely sensitive tc
the slightest semblance or approach Of
danger. We have seen that it will moi
largely venture upon grounds where il
is protected by uncertain tenure. II
Virginia wants capital, then she mus,
organize strong government for the
protection OF life and property. This
seems to us the real, paramount ques.
ton upon which the people are about
to be called to pass.
| Admit that the constitution has de.
fects. Was ever an original instrument
of the same nature submitted to the
people with which much fault could no,
be found ? Is it not better to take this
and elect wise men to the Legislature
and to State offices under it, than {,
remain unrepresented in Congress, ant
without State legislation of any sort tt
meet the constant changes that are tax,
ing place in the industrial and socia
spheres Once organized, with the
machinery of government" in motion
improvements and repairs will be il
order, and constantly in the control 0
the people. .s.-t -.' .. ia

GENERAL LEES VIEWS

There is the best authority for stating
that General Robert E. Lee, whose usual
reticence on political subjects is well
known throughout the country, has
several times of late given without reserve
his opinion about the present situation
in Virginia. He expresses himself as
unqualifedly opposed to the test oath
and DISTINGUISHING clauses of the consti-
tuition, but says that if he had vote it
should be given for that instrument as
expurgated, as the only means of avert
ing the serious dangers that threaten
the Commonwealth in case of a contin-
uance of military rule with Wells in the
gubernaterial chair. The election of Col.
Walker and of sound conservative can
didates for the Legislature he deems of
vital Importance to the interests of Vir-
ginia, as a step towards relieving the
new constitution in the future of any
minor obnoxious features that it NAV
retain after it shall have been expurga-
ted. -Dispatch.

H@ Old vote it Down again made
its appearance in a morning paper of
this city, yesterday. We remember
that this old acquaintance of ours did
us great harm two years ago, when ap-
pealed to on the Convention question
and may be justly chargeable with
bringing the Underwood Constitution
upon us, with all its obnoxious features
which give us so much trouble now to
get rid of. Old vote it down can t do
,, Virginia any good in the present pos
ture of her affairs. The people must
acquire the right of self government be-
fore they can make any effectual use of
vote it down. Then when the Bour-
bon party shall acquire energy enough
TO propose return to their old world
principles and support any measure, we
shall call in the aid of our old acquain-
lance, and vote it down. ... ..
