The Governors message, read in the
Virginia House ofAssembly, advocates
impartial suffrage and universal am
nesty. The former privilege has been
already secured to Virginia by the rat
ification of the Fifteenth Amendment
by the required number of States, and
as there vas implied in its indorse-
ment by the late Confederacy the X
tension Of a general amnesty, it is only
proper that it should be given. On
the day that the President makes the
announcement that the Fifteenth
Amendment has become part Of the
Constitution of the United States, Con-
gress should also enable him to pro-
claim universal amnesty to all polit-
ical offenders. There is no longer any
danger that the prominent leaders Of
the rebellion will ever be called from
their retirement to accept office under
the Federal Government, and if they
were, the harm they could do would
be Insignificant. The verdict of time
has clearly proved the fallacy Of
he heresy Of secession than the events
Of the war were able to do. Thought
full, honest men of the South no longer
seriously mourn "the lost cause" for
in the new and strong vitality of a
free South, from which the blight of
slavery has been removed, they see
capabilities Of wealth, prosperity and
greatness undreamed Of by them be-
fore the struggle Of secession. That
which is now wanted to increase the
power and progress of both North and
South Is n return to traternal feeling
In conformity with n union of inter
ests and this will follow universal
amnesty. Let the South elect to office
It's own men, and not aliens, for there
is more evil in the late election of
"carpet-baggers" than is generally
acknowledged. Now that the
South has done all that Congress has
demanded Oft, it is time that it should
have a free expression Of sentiment
and policy in the councils of the ma
ton. Restoration should exist in fact,
and not simply in certain dry enact
ments, and the surest restoration Of
the South to the Union will be accom-
plished by an entire removal Of all
political disabilities, and the most APP
propriate time for such a purpose
would be the day on which universal
suffrage Is proclaimed.

The Dominion is at last to be thrown

The Dominion is ut last to be thrown
upon her own resources for mean OF
offense and defense. The Fenians, an
nexationists and Winnipeg revolutions
lists have evidently no terrors for the
Gladstone Ministry. But what are the
Canadians to do when the last red-coat
Is taken from their sterile coasts? Will
the "Queen's Own be equal to the
emergencies that may arise when the
soldiers Of old England have left the
Canadian shores behind them? Mr..
Gladstone evidently docs not share the
Canadian dread Of Head Centres; )"
or the shrewd Premier may think in
ternational law q bulwark sufficiently
strong to guard the frontiers Of Her
Majesty's bleak and unlnviting domain
In North America. Or, perhaps, he
has grown tired of Canada, and desires
to punish the Fenians by throwing 1t
on their hands.

CALIFORNIA STEAM NAVIGATION
CoMpANY.-For many years this CON-
pany had a monopoly Of the transport
tation between this city and San Fran
cisco. It Is always the case whenever
any line has n monopoly, that 1t

ness, eXtortlon, etc. We know Of no
company that has taken more pains to
accommodate the travelling public than

necessarily compelled to reduce their
rates of fare, they keep their boats In
the finest order, and man them with

NSs W sSsNfAs ASSeNSf"s
A young man living down town,
without the fear of his sweetheart's
parents before his eyes, undertook to
"hook" the object Of his alteration
from the second story window In her
fathers house, on Friday night last,
says the Louisville Sun. The old man
hearing the "flss" went out In his
night-clothes, looking like the ghost
Of Hamlet and espied Joe going up
the ladder. The old man caught hold
Of the foot of the ladder and let some
thing drop. 1t was Joe. Grabbing
him by the collar, he lifted him to his
feet and nearly shook him out of his
clothes, after which he led him into
the house, and lectured him as follows
"Look here, you cussed sneak, when
ever you larn q decent trade, and kin
make enough money to pay house rent,
an raise 4 family, you kin come here
without q ladder, walk In the front
door an marry my darter, an not till
then. Dye hear?" And the fero-
cious old man led Joe out Of the house,
and told him to "git." The young
lady has signified her Willingness to
wait for Joe. If any Of the proprie-
tors of our manufactures are called
upon to-day or tomorrow by q young
ma who wants to learn q trade, take
him in--that's Joe. Joe's willing and
the girls waiting.
