NAMEs.-Surely there is great virtue in
name. II you nominate man for Office
who calls himself Democrat, you need not
fear that he will deceive you. But if you
nominate one who calls himself Il Conscrva-
tive the cry of the disorganizers is
"Beware! he is fooling thee"
Men who are so much attached to an old
name--to defunct party organizaton-to
a thing that was but is MOTTO the mere
name of Democrat" which has no more
virtue in it than the name Whig"-such
men ought to hide themselves in caves and
play the misanthrope. They are too good
for this world. They are behind the times
They are old fogieS. They belong to Il past
generation. They are your genuine
RIP VAN W1NKLEs. Only think Of
dressing up the Conservative party,
which belongs to the year 1870, in the
cast-off toggery of party which had it,
clothes made up many years ago. The Con.
servative party would not look we'll dressed
up in these old garments. Knee-breeches
are its peculiar aversion. Long stockings
it "cannot abear." Low-quarterod shoes
with big. buckles in them do not suit it. 1t
prefers to show itself in the costume of the
present day. Why will any old reSurrected
Democrat insist upon clothing it in the
habiliments of past age? We cry your
mercy, gentlemen. "Let us have peace"

A MAN KILLED WITH A BRooMsTICK-As-
PUNISHMENT OF THE DoCTo Rs.-Thomas
Shea, bar-keeper, died suddenly yesterday
at an eye and ear infirmary from the effects
of injuries sustained in one of his eyes.
Shea came to the office suffering from what
appeared to be confusion over the rlgnt
eye, the ball of which protruded in terrible
manner. 1t was on Sunday, the It'll instant,
and Shea stated that he had been engaged
in quarrel and fight with some man up
town, and during the melee one of his as,
sailants had used a broken broomstlck, ana
the physicians in charge of the patient INA
gined that he had received a direct blow on
the organ, causing it to protrude from exc
cessive internal Inflammation. Every posi-
BILE care was given the injured man with
considerable success until the 14th instant,
when he exhibited signs of weakness, and
the surgeons were surprised by the uneX--
pected discharge from the wounded eye OF
q piece Of wood nearly half an inch thick and
over an inch in length. The splinter was
extracted successfully, but the patient did
not rally. and on Monday another and
nearly as large piece of wood came from
the opthalmic cavity, causing so severe Il
degree of prostration that death ensued

Nor IN Characteristic letter which
General BocHER, commanding the Zouavcs
of Marshal MAcMAHoN's division, is said to
have written, does not read as if it had
been composed by 4 soldier. 1t commences
as follows:
"Let us thank God, who has preserved
me from the most terrible of the dangers it
is the soldiers fate to encounter"
Here he calls soldiers death the most
terrible of the dangers soldier has to en-
counter. The genuine soldier says, with
Don CESAR, "Let me like a soldier fall"
This Is merely specimen. The whole
letter is unbecoming a military officer.
When he seriously remarks that he ran
thirty-six kilometers without stopping or
sleeping, and felicitates himself upon his
good fortune in not having been "more
vigorously pursued" by the Prussians, he
writes himself down IN ass. We beg leave
to doubt for the present whether any
French General ever peuned such letter

The New York Commercial remarks in a
dry way that the movements Of the French
and the Prussian armies have somewhat the
appearance Of a neck.and-ncck race to
Paris. A correspondent of another paper
compares the French army to boosters
dog which was supposed to be following a
wolf, but which turned out to be ga leetle
ahead" Of the wolf. Or as the late Mr..
BERRY, OF this city, said to an unsuccessful
brother in the law mot brother-in-law)
"You have been following the law long
time, and now the law is following you >
10 IL seems to be with the French-the,
have been following the Prussians for man,
years Tin imagination), but now the Prus
SLAMS are following them lin reality.
But this is no joking matter. 1t is one O
serious import to the French at least. Thei
armies seem to offer but shadow of resist
ance to the advancing hosts of Prussia
The whole affair is inexplicable at present

III have acted with the Republicans, We
rar,,v chat we elected them not as Conserya
tiyes but as Republicans. The people o
richmond cannot have forgotten how thu
legislative ticket of the opponents of WELLS
in this city and county was made up. The
Conservatives nominated eight candidates

he charged upon us as crime, or even rs
blunder, that we elected a man OR. G1LMER,
for instance } who is now in full accord with
tho Renublicans? And are we to be seri-
ouslv told. because man elected as Re
nnbiican. and nominated for the reason that
he was Republican, has proved to be a
Republican in deed as we'll as IN name, 'na'
hereafter we cannot trust men calling 'nem-
selves Conservatives" What man VINO
,vas elected TO Congress as Conserya-
five has failed to live up to his professions
JOHN f. LEWIS. LEWIS MCKENZIE, and
GEoRGN W. BOOKER, are the three generally
named by the disorSanizers; but these three
were all elected as Republicans, not as Con-
seryatives. 1t is shameful to charge the
Conservatives with the acts Of such men.
But there is another fact to be remember
ed. AT the time of the election in July,
1859, there were in Virginia very few men
eligible to Congress. Scarcely any had had
their disabilities removed; and all whose
disabilities had not been removed were In
eligible; If for no other reason, because
they could not take the test-oath. Many
men are eligible now because the disablll-
ties of many have been removed, and such
do not have to take the iron-clad oath. Mr..
SHAcKELroRD was last year induced by his
Conservative associates to yield the track 10
Mr.. MCKENZIE because the latter could take
the iron-clad oath and the former could not.
General MILFORD and Mr.. HUNNICUTT We're
voted for in this district because they were
able to take that oath, and not because we
preferred either of them to CRUMP, DANIEL,
NELSON, MEREDITH, &c.
We conclude that it is time the mouths OF
the malcontcntS pretending to be Conserva-
tiyes were closed. When man protesting
to be Conservative charges his own party
with blunder or with crime which it has
not committed, he may be set down as an
enemy in disguise-a wolf in sleeps cloth
ing-an opponent whose foolish prejudices
are so strong that he would sooner sacrifice
his party and his country than surrender
them. Those who insist that it will never
do to nominate Conservatives for Congress
because men nominated last year as Repub-
!cans turned out to be Republicans must
know that they are doing great wrong to
the Conservative party.
