she has dared impart every embryo thought and

the younger children to whom she has hitherto

to the man who can blight such fair hopes
who can, coward-like, break the illusions that
have won her, and destroy the confidence which
love has inspired.

THE TEST OF HONESTY THE PAYMENT FOR
Your NEwsPAPER.-The following from the
Liverpool Mail, discloses an important fact,
and no person can deny that this new test of
Willingness in debtors to pay, is based upon
common sense.
We were not aware until recently tina. many
newspaper publishers are consulted, to a large
extent, by people in order to ascertain the pc
culiar standing of persons. Debts for newspa-
pers become due once year, and persons who
pay up regularly once a year, for their papers,
are considered prompt men and worthy of con-
fidence. We had person come into our office
the other day and say;
"Do you send your paper to MIR. W."
We replied that we did.
"Well," said the man, che owes me G5, and
can't get it l don't think he's good"
We looked secretly at his account, and found
him paid up. We then replied to the enquirer
"That man is good Your debt is safe. He
have prevented his paying, but he is good"
The mans eyes frightened. Said he:
"I have written to several printers, and could
not find where he took paper; l thought of
you and said l would come here"
This is the way to find out whether people
are good. We ascertain Wallpapers they take,
and contrive some way to peep into their ac-
counts Men who are good are very sure to
pay for their newspapers; and if they don't
pay for these, we don't think them good. We
were forcibly struck by the idea.
WELL said he, 81 will send my bill by the
post"
In few days the person came in again.
Said he, "I sent my bill"
"Well, did he pay you?"
eyes, sir" and opening his hand he showed
us the draft. There" said he, "give me a
printers book after all, to tell whether a mans
good there's complete thermometer; we al
ways know a man to be bad if he don't pay the
printer"

LILLE MARIZAN-

The ecumenical coudcil is said to
have sixteen months work yet before
it. If the Pope can stand the coun-
Gil that long we think the question OF
infallibility will have been a needless
one.
Prince Pierre Bonaparte has been
indicted upon the charge of "homi-
eide through imprudence.
Nebraska has ratified the fifteenth
amendment, and that measure is now
secure. The President will in a few
days issue his proclamation to that
effect. In the meantime there is not
universal amnesty. Yet there is light
head. On Monday a teste vote in
the House revealed the fact that the
long winter Of prescription had broken,
and that a three-fourths vote could
be obtained in that body for the re-
mOval of all disabilities. The special
bill of the Senate was amended by a
large number of other names and
passed. We suppose the Senate will
now pass upon it and thus do much to
widen the field of selection for the
one hundred and twenty judgeships
on the tables Of the Virginia Legisla-
ture.
That child of reconstruction, the
Hon. Whittemore of S. c., was pro-
badly expelled from Congress on We'd
nesday last for selling West Point
Cadetship.

There are painful uths.expressed in
the communication of our correspon-
dent Swinton but they should have been
expressed sooner. He aims at justice
between both parties to old transac-
tions, but that justice is already a
shattered jewel. His remedy is sui
ed to the year 1865, but he forgets that
we are nearly five years journey from
Appomattox c. H., and can never re-
tmn to it. This great injustice to the
creditor was done by the imposition of
the Odious and infamous stay law,
which has served the purpose of vii
lains until they could dispose of their
property or make their escape from
the presence of their creditors. Yet
after one class of debts has thus
passed boldly beyond ones helpless
vision. it is now proposed there shall
be no abatement upon the other side
of the account. So much evil has
already been been done by legislation
upon this subject that we really have
relapsed into stolid indifference
upon the subject, If we have be-
come disguised with the subject, we
are glad he has the patience to argue
it, and our columns are open to him.
The homestead exemption of which
he complains is a part of the new
constitution and is for the present ir-
reversible.

THE eligibility of members Of the
present Legislature to offices under
the present constitution has been ques-
toned.
We are credibly informed that one
of the ablest jurists of Virginia, and
one who adorned the bench of the
Supreme Court of the State until the
close of the war, has expressed the
opinion that members of this Legisla-
turc are not eligible to any office, the
salary of which is to be fixed by it.
We are not lawyers and do not pre-
tend to express an opinion as such on
the point. but it is view that strikes
us as reasonable and just and in ac-
cordance with the spirit Of our law.
1t would not be wise, certainly as a
rule, to permit those who expect to
reap the emoluments of position, to
have the power to say what those
emolmient may be. The question is
an important one, and in any event
VIC hope the matter may receive the
attention Of the Legislature, and that
a resolution may be refer d to the Judi
ciary Committees thereof to examine
and make report thereon.

In the House of Representatives,

upon transactions prior to July IL,

knowledge themselves willing to ac-
cept currency at par.
The various Insurance Companies,
Mercantile Houses and Corporations,
of the Northern cities have formally
announced their purpose not to ex-
coed specie on the class of claims al
luded to, and it has already thus
transpired that the recent decision Of
the Supreme Court is practically q
dead letter.

The Election of ,J,tIOcs.


The Legislature has before it the
very important work of electinl
Judges, and while, of course, it is
important that those positions should
be filed as speedily as possible, witt
proper regard to the public interest,
so that the machinery for the admin.
istration of justice may be put in
regular and permanent operation, YET
we submit that there should not be
too great haste. 1t is well known
that many of our ablest and best mer
are excluded from those positions,
and all other Offices of the govern.
ment by the operation of the 18th
Amendment to the Constitution, and
we would prefer the Legislature should
wait at least reasonable time until il
can be seen whether Congress will not
relieve the disabilities of some of our
best men, if not by general, at least
special Bill.
We want the best talent and legal
knowledge, combined with the purest
integrity, on the bench. Give us the
widest range of selection. Governor
Walker saw the importance of it and
hence in his Message, recommended
the selection of Judges without refer
ence to disability but since the
Legislature has thought it would not
be wise to adopt his suggestion, let
it postpone the elections until
sufficient number of good men is re-
lieved or it be seen that Congress will
not do it.
A Judge is too important an officer
to be elected in haste. A circuit
Judge is elected for eight years, and
even if Incompetent it would be diff
cult to get rid of him, while his acts
during that period, might affect pre-
judicially nearly every person in his
circuit.
Further: the spring terms do not
commence generally till April, and
we certainly can have the internedi-
ate time for the benefit of wider
selection, as-so damage can result.
And again the circuits, VII. the ex-
ception of this, all have Judges.
True, they are military appointees,
but we hear but little if any COM
plant of them on that account.
'Make haste slowly" is an adage
that can be properly ADDRESSED to the
Legislature at this time, We counsel
that body to give us the best men for
Judges. Men of strong minds, well
read in their professions and of god
habits; laborious, pains taking and
of incoTuptible integrity. If delay
is necessary for the purpose we hope
the Legislature will take it. though it
be till mid Summer, and the final
Judgment of the people will approve
the course.

THE new county, of which Loudon
is the proposed site, will doubtless be
established by the Convention. There
is an aspiring genius from the county
of Roane wh- represents that county
in the House, and he is endeavoring
to invest himself with the progenitor-
ship of the bill by affecting the
new County with his name. The
modest request has swollen itself into
the huge proportions of demand,
coupled with the penalty of his aban-
donment of the measure. We be-
lieve this unblown Rose would smell
as sweet by some other name than
Harrison, and we suggest that the
gentleman would best promote his
fame by leaving the matter to the
Convention.

Senator Johnston is q radical. First :

Secondly: he has introduced n bill
for the removal of all disabilities from
the Southern people and resumed his
seat without fist having wiped his
forehead with the Confederate flag
and proposed three cheers for Jefier-
son Davis. Thirdly: he walks quiet
ly to the Capitol twice each day and
fails to enter the Senate Chamber
singing the tune of Dixie. These are
grave specifications Of grave charge
but it is clear that until he conforms
to these plain duties he will be with
out influence at Washington.
