It seems that Grant was the cat in CANDY s

fere in the Richmond muddle and when Grant
says, get up, Dobbin,' it is the duty of the

to trot along jauntily. We have come to this.
A State State, or not 2 State, just as Grant
or Congress wills it. Virginia was butjust now
brought into port with great booming of guns
and display of bunting. Renunciatory trumpets
were sounded by both Grant and Candy. To
what end? Here is bit of brawl, a mere
local squabble, and, 10, the President, the War

construction of Virginia or merely an expert

tolerate executive assertion? Is it step in

Senator LaWis's Position

The reports of the remarks of Senator Lewis
at the late meeting Of the Republican commit
tees, in Richmond and published in the pa:
pers of that city having been severely criticised
and unanimously condemned by the conserva-
tive paDels Of the State, that gentleman re-
quests US to say for him, that the language at
tributed 10 him on that occasion ''has been mis-
understood or a0alfutiy nlisrepresented. He
AYERS that he never meant to convey any 9th
er idea than The one ecpressed-that the safety
of the Union men, as a party, depended on the
union of all the elements of opposition to the
Democracy"
He further said, that ''it would be dark
day for Virginia, when the rebel Democracy
got possession of the State. These remarks
of Mr. Lewis, he assures US, were intended to
have an exclusively political, and not personal
or social application to the Union men IN the
State. Mr.. Lewis has often expressed the
opinion and has not sought to disguise It, that
I" Union mans person was as safe in Virgin
ia as In Massachusetts,
Such is Senator Lewis explanation Of the
objectionable remarks to which be refers. and
which has elected the animadversions Of the
conservative press We take pleasure in say
ing that We believe that Mr. Lewis's explana-
tion conveys the idea intended, notwithstand,
ing the strong terms, safety. dark day,
&c, used by him. We have often heard Mr.
Lewis express the opinion, that the person and
property of his party were as safe In our mids
as they would be in any other State. va Com

instant, whose effect is to change elective OIL
GERS into appointees OF the Governor, and under
the avowed purpose Of declaring when yacan-
cies exist would create innumerable vacancies
by wholesale removal or decaplsatlon.
A very little examination of this enabling
act of the General Assembly of Virginia, out OF
which this case and the recent riot In our streets
have baen but the natural and legitimate out
growth, and a comparison OF It's provisions
with those of the State constitution recently
adopted by our people, and, by law OF the
United States, will demonstrate the truth, quite
apparent to those who framed the last named
instrument, OF the utter lncompatabiity OF the
act and the constitution
While the constitution entirely rejects the
theo.y of personal government and gives no APP
pointing power to the Governor, except In cases
Of occurring vacancies OF limited period, de-
volving this great responsibility wholly upon
the people and their Immediate representatives
of the General Assembly, the sef-styied en-
aiding act, ia violation of this great theory OF
popular sovereignty would sweep thousands OF
established officers from their places, derived
and secured by solemn laws OF the Dnlted
States, and would enable the Governor to exer-
else a tremendous power Of appointment, de-
MED by the constitution he has just sworn to
preserve and obey. speak only Of the effect
of this act. not iInputlng any improper motives
to those who made 1t.
1t is proper to say that its title is altogether
inst and fair, and the same may be said of the
greater portion OF the body Of the act ITSELF on
ly those provisions not referred to In the title,
and SO inconsistent with the title that their in.
oertion seems wonderful, are declared void.
These provisions may have found their way in

many good men, who will be glad to correct
The mistake into which they may have uninten-
