Correspondence OF the Lynchburg Republican.
Romance About EugenIe-HOw She Once
Became Engaged 90 VIrginl Gentle
mantle Match Broken of by the
| Lovers Aunt-A Wonderful Change of
Destiny.
In 1851 the uncle of the writer resided
as American Minister at Paris, with large
family around him. At this time appeared
in society there Eugene Marie do Guz-
man, Countess Of Montijo, lovely person
and an aristOcratic name securing her bril-
| liant Conquests in that society, and con-
shutting her one of the most famous ladies
in Paris. 1t thought, and indeed freely
remarked, that her mother was moro am
bilious than herself, that the former de-
signed for her some great alliance, while
| Eugene herself appeared model of sim.
| pie sincerity, a girl who would choose to
consult her heart in any matrimonial
affair. Her sister had just married
the Duke of Alba and Berwick, lineal
descendant of James III. Of England and
the worthy mother, Donna Maria, no
doubt designed at least an equal matrimo-
NAL destiny for the more beautiful of
her daughters. But the heart is not al
| ways to be controlled even in the most
| aristocratic life, or to yield to its exactions
| or convenience Eugene lost hers to a
fine looking blonde Virginian, young Viii
liam @. Rives, son of the American Min
lister. They were engaged to be married.
But Aunt Judy Rives, Virginia matroD,
| very decided and angular in her scruples,
interfered and broke off the match; the
Countess was too fast for her old Virgin
ia ideas of social sobriety. The woman
for whom future had reserved SO much es-
capped the comparatively humble match
that her heart had decided upon-tho des-
| tiny of quiet Virginia housewife-to as
cend the throne of France Alas what
other contrasts may yet remain for her !
Ii an event had been ordered differently,
if prospective mother-in law had proved
complacent, the Empress, the woman who
has adorned the throne of France and dis
played to the world the charms Of another
Cleopatra, might to this moment be a
quiet country matron living in a farm
house near Gotham Depot, county of Al.
bemarle, State of Virginia.

Test Oaths-EltgIbiIIty.

We cannot agree with our contemporary,
tho Raleigh Se1ati,te2, that discussion
through the press in regard to the action
Of the Legislature in the Senatorial election
should terminate because tending to pro-
duce division and discord in the Conser-
vative party. The members of the Gen
eral Assembly have grave responsibilities
and great duties resting upon them, and
it is proper that the public-should, if pos
sible, aid them through the means of the
press. No Legislature had moro devolving
upon it than that Which assemblies in
Raleigh in November. The election of q
gentleman TO represent the State in the
United States Senate is one Of the least
important, for it is q choice among indi-
viduals, any and ali of whom will do credit
to the State, and represent its interests
with ability and zeal.
The expenses Of the State government,
the prostration Of State credit, the aspect
Of public education. the judicial system Of
the State, the University, works of in
ternal Improvement, in a word, the con
dition of North Carolina in every depart
ment and interest, are all matters that come
before the General Assembly, and demand
prudent, wise, but decisive legislation.
And these questions should all be
| thoroughly discussed through the press,
and in public meetings, if necessary, so
| that members can be fully advised as to
the opinions and wants of the public. We
propose to give our views upon all these
questions in due time, and invite others
to use our columns for the purpose of dis
cussing the reforms necessary for the well
| fare of North Carolina, and the best means
to insure their adoption.
| AS preliminary question we think there
should be decision in regard to the choice
| OF United States Senator, whether he
should be selected from among all OF our
prominent statesmen, or whether the
choice should be limited to those only OF
them who are eligible under the Oonstitu-
ton of the United States. Believing that
the selection should be restricted, and
feeling that the people Of North Carolina
desire it, we think the press should en-
deavor to impress this course upon the
members elect to the Legislature.
In announcing these views we do not
uphold the Justice or the legality of the
res ricting clause in the Constitution. but
merely desire to recognize the existing
order Of things. We are as much opposed
to test oaths now, when they are in prac-
teal operation. backed by the strong arm
of the Government, as was Chief Justice
Pearson in 1856, when they were unknown
to our laws and supposed to be obnoxious
to the spirit of free governments. In

The West.

The other day the Hon. HoRATIo SEY-
MoUB, Of New York, being in Chicago, was
invited to visit the Democratic Conven-
hon, then in session, in which he said
'srecent events satisfied him that the pow
or and destinies of the Federal Govern
ment was fast centreing in the Valley of the
Mississippi and the great West" He
went on to felicitate himself and his audi
tors that the old landmarks and Liberties
would be sacredly preserved, since the
people of the West were blood and kim
dred Of the East. We know the liberal
views Of Mr. SEYMoUB, says the Richmond
Dispatch, and cannot suspect him of con-
dning his idea Of ''the East to any small
part OF the Atlantic shed. Without the
gentle and calm philosophy of the middle
States the influence would be wanting in
the perfection of its better features. The
generous nature ofIRee western impulses
would take in the ideas of the middle lati-
tude most readily, and We believe they

| in reply to the argument of counsel, thu
| ''to be sworn as witness is no paicilege-
the person loses nothing by being incom-
petent,o said ST would be the institution

4" lutionary fathers had SO just an abhor-

"we live Whether Judge Pearson has
changed, or the change is in the spirit OF
our institutions or il the age in which We
live, we will not undertake to cay. There
seems to be some change, however. There
are test-oaths ard there is behind them a
power and will to enforce them, and there
are occasions when it is the height Ct folly
to disregard them.
In an election like that for Senator by
the approaching Legislature, where there
is no doubt of the result, the members
should be certain that they do not throw
it away. We have advocated the election
of ineligible men where the result at best
was doubtful, and the candidate in ques-
ton could combine more elements Of sue
cess, and bring more strength to the party
than any other. IL the action of PLATO
DURHAM, in Withdrawing from canvass in
which success was assured, and the patri-
otto and forc1ble letter of Colonel ROBERT
Fl. CowAN were not sufficient to convince US
of our duty, the recent telegram Of the
Hon. SAM. J. RANDALL, Chairman of the
National Democratic Executive Commit
tee, to the people of Georgia, who are di-
vided upon this same issue, should at least
prepare us for the consequences OF dlsre-
garding the law. He says ineligible mem
bers will not be admitted.
Why, then, run any risk The sooner
the political sentiment Of the United
States Senate is revolutionized the better
for the country. It is slow process at
best. The work has had a solid beginning.
Oregon continues it this week. North
Carolina cannot afford to risk her oppor-
tunity of adding to the Conservative power
in that body. We must give up personal
preferences. There are several dlstln-
guished gentlemen who are eligible, and
we should confine our selection to one Of
them. We cannot, merely to crafty per
sonal feelings, risk in such an important
matter the fruits of our recent glorious

TIC Agricultural Fair.

The time is rapidly approaching when
the Second Annual Fair Of the Cape Fear
Horticultural Association will be held. Two
months only remain to prepare for that
occasion. We can assure the public that
the officers Of the Association are busy and
will have everything in order for the Fair.
Nothing will be lacking to meet the wants
of the public which their means will en-
able them to provide. The failure of our
city appropriation and the heavy outlay
necessary to the Inauguration of this great
enterprise have somewhat crippled the
resources of the Committee, but many I'M
proVements are in progress nevertheless,
and will be completed in time for the Fair.
After tho experience Of last year, we
are satisfied our citizens will be fully pre-
pared for the vast crowds which they have
reason to know will be in attendance.
The resources of our city will be taxed, we
know, but we believe they will prove equal
to the occasion.
We have only to remind our agricultural
friends in the country that they should be
getting ready for this Fair. Last year,
from a want of interest Or appreciation OF
its Importance, the exhibition was deficient
in soma branches Of industry, and gave
the stranger but an Indifferent opinion OF
the ENTERPRISE Of our farmers and the fer
tility of our soil. We shall be disappointed
if the same thing happens again. Whether
we would have it so or not. these annual
exhibitions will be taken as induces of the
intelligence and industry Of our agricul-
turists, and the capacity of our lands.
Therefore he who neglects 10 attend our
Fairs aud fails to make as good an exhibi-
ton as he is able is not only doing himself
injustice, but really Injuries this section of
the country.
We are satisfied that these annual gath
erings will do much to stimulate agricultu-
raj industry and encourage manufacturing
enterprise These meetings of the bone
and sinew of the 1and-the producers Of
woalth-will give an Intelligent activity to
farming operations, without which the
South will never be prosperous.

proved and Iabor-saVing machines, and
make universal tho use Of natural and

at these Fairs the experience of those
who have made practical and successful
use Of both.
We trust there will be no backwardness
on the part of farmers and manufacturers.
Ample room will be provided on the
Grounds of the Cape Fear Agricultural
Association for all their articles and ami
mails, and whether exhibitors are able to
be present or not their articles will be daily
cared for and their merits fully set forth.
A free and full invitation is extended to
