Deaths From Grief.

There are ailments which are not
described in the medical books and
which physicians do not pretend to
cure. Even the nostrums of quacks do
not include these maladies within their
curative roll. How little note the
world makes OF the fine spirits which,
proof against all common physical foes,
break silently down under the blight OF
a despairing sorrow to which earth can
offer no solace. How can we measure
the grief beyond all reach OF human
skill which made Phoebe Cary and
more recently Mrs. Vallandlgham,
resign life as something insupportable ?
This indeed we cannot do. Wecan but
family imagine how the light Of COM
mon day would lose all its beauty and
the tired spirit release its grasp on life,
when death snatches away the loved
one around whom all hopes and atfec'
tons centre. Butifwe cannot enter into
such sorrow until we experience it, we
may at least in these days OF Muscular
Christianity endeavor to be gentler
and more forbearing with those sensi.
tive organized people of both sexes
whose weakness, as we are apt to term
them, so frequently provoke our unjust
and cruel Impotence.

Virginia Debt-West Virginia Com.
misSiOnerS.

The West Virginia Commissioners for
the settlement of the public debt OF
Virginia met in Parkersburg last week
and organized by appointing General
John j. jackson as their chairman.
They addressed a communication to
tie Governor of Virginia requesting
him to indicate what action has been
or is likely to be taken by Virginia in
the matter Of appointing. commission
ers, or, in the event of no such appoint
ment, what channel of communication
will be open to them. They also ad-
dressed letter to Governor Jacob, in
forming him of their action in the
premises and expressing wish to re-
ceive any communication he may be
pleased to make to the commission.
Answers from the two Governors TO
these letters aud any other communica-
tons they may have to make are to be
received through the chairman of the
commission, General Jackson. When
the preliminaries are settled we pre-
sumo the commission will enter upon a
more extended field OF labor. Much OF
their time will necessarily have to be
spent in the city OF Richmond. The
result of their labors involves vast in
terests for the people of our State, and
will be looked for from time to time
with much anxiety.-.Stdte Journal.

SAVING THE PARTY.

The few Democrats in the State who
oppose the call for a Constitutional Con-
vention offer as an excuse for putting
themselves in an attitude of hostility to
the known wishes of large majority
of the Democracy of the State that they
are actuated by a desire to sars The
partvy But what motive actuates their
Radical allies2 Are they too laboring
for the welfare OF the Democratic party :?
Are they laboring to prevent the DEM
ocratic party from committing what
these super excellent Democrats call
"suicide?' Let these Democrats whose
devotion to their party is go great as to
impel them to leave it for its preserVa'
ton, look around them and see whose
assistance they are invoking for the
benefit OF the Democracy. A coalition
of a handful Of Democrats with the
mass of the Radical party In order that
the Democratic party may be prevented
from error, is certainly the rarest and
the richest joke o! the season.

DwindIiDg.

The opposition in Monroe county to
a Convention -eems to be dwindling to
very small proportions. The Register
of last week ia furious over the great
reaction that is going on in that county,
and takes the desperate position that
though every other county in the State
should support a Convention, Monro e
should vote against it, in order to be
consistent with the course that paper
marked out for her at the start. That
is to cay, when the people ascertain
they have been deceived they must &C.
quiesce in the deception.
The people Of Monroe do not appear
to be Of this opinion. The Greenbrier
Independent reports a meeting, recently
held at Nickelrs Mill, Monroe county,
where several prominent citizens dis
cussed the merits of the Convention
question. After the discussion, the lead
er Of the opposition, Mr.. Robert A. Pat
ton, virtually admitted the untenable
character of his position and recalled
his appointments for speeches against
the Convention. A vote of those pres
ent resulted, for Convention forty-nine;
against, one. And this is in Monroe
county where such an immense major,
ity against the Convention was expect.

law course of nearly two years in Har-
ward University, after which for year
or two he devoted himself to the study
and practic of law, resuming, however,
his favorite pursuit, literary studies sand
teaching, which he has continued ever
since. He bears with him the very
cordial endorsement, as TO character,
qualifications and complete fitness for
the duties OF his chair, Of ex-Secretary
- Browning, Senator William A.
Richardson, General James w. Single
ton and many others whose names are
familiar as public men.
The course Of study assigned TO Prof.
Farwelrs chair, embraces Political
Economy, Science of Government, Con-
stitutional, International and Statutory
Law, and for which bis law studies
peculiarly fit him, as well as the more
general studies included under the
heads of History and Bellies Lettres.
We feel confident that the selection of
Prof Farwell is judicious one, and
that his chair will constitute the nucleus
around which will be organized the
Law Department Of the University
course of study, which it is contempla-
ted to establish at as early date as
practicable.
The new professors will constitute an
invaluable addition to the present very
accomplished and efficient corps OF in
structors, and give additional impetus to
the already very remarkable growth
and development of the University,
which, in its fourth year, has outstrlpped
in prosperity and the number of its>stu-
dents, many older and more literally
endowed and favorably situated instltu-
tons, to which result this community
has already contributed very materially
by the cordial cooperation they have
always extended to those in charge, In
their efforts for this advancement, aid
which we pledge shall never be want
ing 30 long as the University shall con-
tinue to represent the advanced senti-
ment of the State upon the subject OF
education, and to supply to its noble
youth the opportunity Of culture AT

A SIGNIFICANT ADHESION.

We learn from the Charleston Courier
that in a recent speech in opposition to
the Convention Judge JAMES H..
BROWN attempted defense OF proscrlp-
ton by declaring that test oaths are
mild punishments' and said Let us re-
tain in our Constitution the power to
disfranchise, Tor we may need it again.
As frank confession of the purpose oi
the Radical leaders in trying to deleat
the call for a Convention, this declara-
tson is significant and important. They
hope to regain by some means the
power they lost at the polls last year
and will then at once resort to their Old
engines Of tyranny. a Radical triumph
in West Virginia means the re-
storation of the test oaths and the
disfranchisemeut OF the people. Can
we safely omit to improve the
opportunity now afforded for so amend
Ing the Constitution as to render these
things forever impossible? After the
Convention, after the Radical power TOR
mischief and oppression has been de-
stroyed, that party may be safely ad'
mitted to office again-if the people SO
desire. But until the Constitution is OF
amended as to forever deny, beyond
any cavil or dispute, that the Legisla-
ture has power, either directly or indi-
rectly, to enact such laws as the test
oath act of 1865, single Radical vic
tory at the polls would be an irretriev'
able disaster to the interests of the
State. Let us vote for the Convention
and from the nettle, danger, pluck TIE
flower, safety.

Editors of the Register;
Why is it that politics has anything
to do with a Convention The answer
is, with the farmers and ldJ0riRg classes,
their interests are the same; If We are
laboring under ponderous load Of tax
alton, crushing and consuming the sub
stance Of our labors, then a change
will he essential to our welfare and
prosperity; ii is this change and reduc-
ton OF taxes that we want. The whole
machinery Of government is compiled
ted and disordered by the swarms Of
office holders which only tend to the
destruction of Republican, Goccrnmcat
THERE only one class.that can probably
be interested in the defeat OF the Con-
vention. The fortunate class, who are
reaping the benefit OF our loss, who are
robbing indirectly the pockets OF the
people. They try TO make the iaboring
classes believe that the country ciW be
ruined ifthey are not continued in office.
The selfish interest Of few and their
influence, is causing all the opposition
to reform. The people ought TO see it,
and be determined for once to work tor
their own interest, and let the office
seekers take care Of themselves 1t is
singular that they will suffer themselves
to be gulled 10y politics. when their
temporal salvation depends on a
thorough remodeling OF our Constltu-
ton and laws.
The result Of the Convention will be
submitted to the people to cote on, and
they will adopt or reject it, II the Dem
ocratic party fail in bringing before the
people an acceptable change in the
whole system Of Government, then the
party will have forfeited the confidence
of the people, which will be political
death without resurrection, whereby
the ends of the Radical party would be
accomplished. 1t is plain to be seen
that it is the popularity of the Demo.
cratic party that they fear or they would
not oppose the Convention. We know
better system of laws can he obtained,
and will be, if we have a Convention,

Virginia to lay aside all former preju-
dice and come together once on very

terests are identified, except the office.

VOTE FOR THE CONVENTION.

All parties are agreed that the Con
stitution of the State needs amendment.
Even the Radicals admit that the basis
OF representation in the Legislature
should be changed as to include the
whole population OF the State, aud they
are nearly all willing to admit that the
Judges OF our State Courts should be
rendered more secure against partisan
influences than now. A great many
OF the Radicals are also dissatisfied
with. the workings of the township
system and would be glad to have
some simpler and cheaper form OF
county organization adopted in its stead.
Almost the whole people are anxious
to take from the Legislature the power
to enact test oaths for the disfranchise-
ment or prescription of any class OF
citizens, and every person who has given
the subject five minutes thought knows
that financial ruin stares us in the face
if we attempt to pay the interest and
principal of the public deot in the time
prescribed in the present Constitution.
The opponents of the Convention
scarcely deign to deny that each and
every one Of these contemplated
changes should be made. They have
scarcely attempted to show that any
one of them is unnecessary or would be
unwise. And yet they oppose. the Con-
vention from a mere spirit OF faction
and from motives of pure contrariness.
Their only arguments are certain
trumped up impossibilities that they
affect to fear the Convention will bring
into life, and they hold up these scare
crows Of their own manufacture to deter
the people from making the reforms
that the prosperity of the State de-
mands. They invent absurdiiles and
attempt to make the people believe that
the most direful consequences will fol-
low any alteration in the fundamental
law. They magnify the expense of the
Convention and put forth the most ex-
travagant and exaggerated estimates of
its cost
But in all their assertions in relation
to the consequences to cnsue there is
nothing to deter any prudent and sens-
bic man from casting his ballot in favor
of the call Of Constitutional Conven.
ton. Certain changes in the Cons,itu-
ton are needed; the Convention offers
the cheapest and most satisfactory mode
ofmaking those changes; and after the
Convention has finished its work the
people will have an opportunity of say
ing by their votes whether they approve
it or not. No single provision OF the
new Constitution can be enforced until
after it has received the endorsement
of majority OF the voters Of the State.
With this safeguard against wrong
certainly no true friend OF the State and
OF his own interests should hesitate to
vote for the Convention aud thus secure
those amendments to the Constitution
which all agree should be made.
