Hon JAS P. HoLcoMBE's ORATIoN.-In con-
formity with the request of quite number OF
our citizens, Hon. JAS P. Holcombe on Satur-
day night last, in the Chapel of the D. d. & B.
Institution, delivered before an appreciative and
intelligent audience, his eloquent. chaste and
beautiful Grafton on the Life and Character of
Gen. Robert E. Lee.
He was introduced to the audience by Hon.
Jno. B. Baldwin, who said that he knew of no
subject of more interest to the people of Virgin
ia than that of the Life, the Character, and the
Public Services of Gen. Lee, and that he knew
of no one better qualified to do justice to it, than
the orator he was about to introduce Hon. Jas
P. Holcombe, of Bedford County, Va.
Mr.. Holcombe then and commenced the
delivery of his Grafton, which, for the space of
one hour and three quarters enchanted the rapt
attention of the audience, who manifested their
pleasure and delight by frequent applause.
The audience felt pleased at discovering the
fact that the virtues of model character were
appropriately and fifty presented by model
Grafton. We give expression 10 the highest
praise when we state that the ora:ion was worthy
of its subject Its descriptions of the scenes in
the life of Gen. Lee, from his youth to his
death, were like so many pictures sketched by
the hand OF master artist. 1t was brilliant
with gems Of rhetoric 'of purest ray serene"
To those of culture and refined tastes, it afforded
an ambrosial feast. To all, it afforded much en-
joyment; to many, intense delight
We will not attempt TO give an abstract
of this grafton. For several reasons, we do not
think it would be proper to do So In the first
place, it will be, we hope, delivered in many
places in Virginia, and if the journals of the
State should publish its main points, tie effect
might be to diminish somewhat the desire on the
part of some to hear it-and all should hear it.
In the second place. no mere abstract how
ever we'll prepared, could do justice to it; and
to attempt it, in the total absence of notes, would
be to perpetrate palpable folly and inexcusable
injustice.
So that, we would not furnish an abstract if
We could; and We could not, if we would.
Before and after the delivery Of the Grafton,
the audience was favored with good music by
the 'Institp+ion p.rI ,,

Since the Rev.. Mr. Earle has succeeded In
converting Governor Holden, of North Caro-

of Boston are about to invite him to come up
there and try his eloquence upon cast-iron

A Radical paper says i It's wrong to blame
Gen. Grant for making money honestly" Ger
tainly it is. 1t is wrong to blame anybody for
a thing he has never done. HAE
An exchange declares that "Gen Grant is
the first President Of the United States whose
personal integrity has ever been questioned. !"
And it is strange, too, that people should ques-
ton his personal integrity SO much when he
has got SO little of it to question.
why is it, asks an inquisltive Alabama
paper, that Missouri husbands sell their de-
ceased wives for dissection We presume it
is because they can't sell them for anything
else.
General Grant is charged by some of the or
gans of his party with having killed Radical
ism in Missouri and Georgia. There is no
doubt that he did the killing but we never
saw clearer case OF justfabe homicide.
Andrew johnson declares that Grant hasn't
the first principle of statesman. We could
overlook his want of that principle if we were
not required also to overlook his want of every
other sort. ~ rv, rot
General Grant has fine Judgment" says a
Washington letter, in the taking care of his
livestock. How does it happen, then, that
he keeps his horses In the stable and the asses
in the Cabinet?
In his last letter George Alfred Townsend
says of Grants eyes: They are absolutely
without expression. This may be- But
George Alfred cannot say, with Macbeth,
there is no speculation in those eyes,"
Speaking of candidate for Sheriff in that
State. a Pennsylvania paper asks: And what
sort of a fellow is this Lloyd Llewellyn D. An
i of fellow, we should say. es5a
1t is strange, says an exchange, that For
ney did not remain in Washington and do the
dirty work of the Administration. 1t is not
at all strange. The Administration certainly
has great deal of dirty work to do, but Grant
prefers to do the most Of it himself nit
A man in Covingtou made bet, the other
