OLD VIRGINIA-GoD BLESS HER.-She is
the mother of States and statesmen and
we do not wonder ut the ardent feeling and
morbid pride with which the wandering
children extol the grand old Common
wealth. Everywhere her sons rise up and
call her blessed. Whether her praise be
upon all lips or the voice of calumny be
raised to traduce and defame her, at all
times and in all places they have adhered to
her name and her cause with more than the
ordinary steadfastness of tilial devotion.
Nor is She unworthy of the honor, for her
historic history shines bright and clear, her
honor is untarnished, and no spot blurs her
escutcheon. When other States were madly
and wildly rushing into the rebellion I"
Virginia paused upon the brink; but when
she reluctantly gave the weight OF her great
name to the cause of the Confederacy the
wayering confirmed and the arm of all
neryed with strength and consciousness Of
right and justice.
Rut the war has closed. The people of
the South, cropping in darkness, living in
anarchy, and standing amid the ruins other
desolate homes, have looked to Virginia for
counsel. Her vol :e has been heard. The
election for Governor, members of Congress,
and members of the Legislature, and upon
the new constitution, took place on Tues
day and it will be seen from our dispatches
this morning that the friends of har-
mouy, reconciliation, and tranquility, have

now to say that the ignorant blacks were
coerced or misled by deceptive ballots, but
they are not so ignorant nor so dependent
now rs they We're two years ago, when no
dodge or coercion suficed to get one thou
sand of them to vote with the Conservatives.
Then, negro who voted with the Conserva-
tives was mobbed by his own race; now,
they so voted by thousands with perfect i'm
punity. Then, the blacks felt that their po-
litical existence was at stake /; now. they do
not.
VIII. Mr.. Walker canvassed the State on
the broad platform of universal amnesty
with impartial suffrage. He everywhere
avowed himself friend Of General Grants
administration, in favor of the fifteenth
amendment, and opposed to all disfranchise-
mentS or prescriptions Of white or black.
By that sign he conquered. And now he
holds the same ground and has proclaimed
himself since election in favor of universal
education as we'll rs universal suffrage. And
the Conservative journals unite in resentine
all attempts Of northern Democratic jour
nails to represent the Walker triumph as n
Democratic victory,
Such are the circumstances under which
Governor Walker presents himself at Wash
innton. He wants no offices for his friends
or his party. What he does ask is that the
iected to no te>t-oathS that have not been
cyactcd of the LEGISLATURES Of other recon.
strIlcted States. but that the members shall
assemble, take the oath to support the Fe-
leral Constitution, organize, and ratify the
fifteenth amendment. and that the members
elect to Congress shall thereupon be admit
ted to seats, and the restoration of Virginia
perfected.
The Walker party is not q Democratic nor
an anti-Admnistration party, though &

rebels, and were presumptiyey favorable to
the election of Seymour and Blair. We car

MIR. Boutwell, on Fir@inia.

That the Secretary of the Treasury has,
in Cabinet council and otherwise, taken
ground decidedly against the Walker party
in Virginia and kindred movements in Mis-
sissippi and Texas, we hear III so many
ways that we cannot doubt its accuracy.
His precise views are of course not made
public, but we presume those set forth III
our Yesterdays Washington dispatch were
substantially part of them. We propose
to reconsider the whole subject in the light
thereby afforded.
Promising that Mr.. BoutwelPs disposal of
his official patronage is not an object of con-
cern with us, and that this article has no re-
lation thereto, we begin by rccapitulating
the more important facts.
/. The Conservative" or eX-rebel party
in Virginia had very respectable State
ticket long since nominated, with General
Withers at its head, and was in fair way to
fight a magnificent battle and catch superb
thrashing, as it did two years ago when
Ii. The Radical Republican party held 4
State Convention ut Petersburg, got into Il
squabble, nominated fair ticket headed by
General Wells, and adjourned.
III. The dissatisfied minority bolted and
nominated another personally respectable
ticket, headed by Gilbert c. Walker of Nor
folk-a northern man by birth, and Dou-
glas War Democrat, who had already de-
clared for universal amnesty with impartial
suffrage. The residue Of the ticket was TILL
questiopably Republican. ............
". 1t was obvious from the outset that,
in an old-fashioned party fight, the Walker
ticket must 60 to the wall and the Wells
ticket probably carry the day.
V. The Conservative party, on full
view of the situation, resolved to do what
any party must do occasionally II 1t Is to
liye-suppress its fools, or send them to The
rear. The men of to-day consulted and re-
fused to play out Il game already lost. They
agitated till they got together new conVen-
ton, whereby their State ticket was drawn
out of the way, and the entire Conservative
strength concentrated OH the Walker or
boiling Republican ticket, with an under
staniling that they would vote FOR the new
constitution, but against the proscriptlye
request, submitted to a separate vote.
VI. This movement prevailed, as IL was
fated to do from the first. There were at
least twenty thousand Republican votes
pledged TO Walker, and the Conservative
vote, added to this, made a sure thing OF
the result. The Walker ticket has at least
twenty thousand majority. The proscrlp-
tive clauses are voted down by ut least
thirty thousand, and the constitution, thus
amended, is adopted by from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred thousand majority.
WI. There is no pretence, on the one
hand, that the Conservatives thus acted
through any change of heart; yet il is clear
from a thousand indications that they acted
in perfect good faith. They said to the
blacks everywhere, Do not prescribe us |;
we shall not prescribe you;" and they won
over thousands of their number, 1t is easy

MASQUERADE BALL AT THH WHITE SUI
PHUR.-The summer fancy balls ut the White
Sulphur Springs are one of the many great
attractions of that fashionable watering
place. To be present and shine at one OF
them is the height of the ambition of some
of Virginia's fairest daughters.
The first Of the season of 1869 Is announced
to take place on Friday next, 23d instant,
and the names Of the managers are pub
lished elsewhere i'll our present issue. The
completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad to the Springs renders the trip such
q small matter that there will probably be a
larger attendance and more brilliant display
this time than ever before. You leave Rich
mond, young ladies, with your escorts, at
O'Clock in the morning, and reach your des-
tination in the evening, with time to rest
yourself awhile and then dance dozen sets
ut night. Or if you prefer it, you may leave
town Friday, and have q whole day and
night at the Springs before the ball comes
