yirxinia's Debt to DIR. Horace Gree
lev.

Virginia's Debt to DR.. Horace Gree.
DR. Greeleys kindly feelings toward
the South were never manifested more
strikingly than in the important part he
PLAYED in the reconstruction Of Nir-
ginia, the facts respecting which have
never been made public until now.
The Convention that framed the
present Constitution Of Virginia was
not only Republican, but extremely
Radical. As that instrument came from
their hands, it contained test oath
and a clause disqualifyipg all from
holding any Office who had taken any
part in the rebellion, or aided it in any
way whatever. Of course these pro-
visions would have excluded from office
ninety-five out Of every hundred white
Virginians.
The Convention ordered the Consti.
tuition to be submitted for ratification as
a whole. The people of the State were
greatly alarmed, but did not know
what to do. By refusing to ratify the
Constitution they would doom them
selves to continued military govern.
ment; and if they ratified it as framed
they would put the State Government
absolutely in the hands of the newly
enfranchised blacks, who were in a
minority of over $4,000 in the State.
Their only hope was an appeal to Con-
gress to permit separate vote to be
taken on the obnoxious clauses. But
how to get at Congress in such way as
to secure favorable action was the ques-
ton.
Just in the midst of their perplexities
three Virginians-General Malone,
General mboden and Colonel Flournoy
happened to meet in New York, and
in discussing the situation at home II
occurred to them to see Dr.. Greeley and
seek his counsel and advice, as he was
then known to be influential with the
President. They met DR.. Greeley at
his Office by appointment, the confer
ence lasting from 8 till II P. n. The
result was that DR.. Greeley cordially
adopted their views in regard to the
obnoxious features Of the Constitution,
and said that he would 60 and see Pres
ident Grant at Long Branch, and en-

TIE New York Evening Post suggests
the names of CHARLES O'CoNoR and
SAMUEL j. TnDEN as Democratic
candidates for the Presidency next year,
and propounces high and deserved eulo-
gies upon both for their admirable con-
duct duriog the reform movement in
the city of New York. The Tribune
thinks the suggestion impracticable as
to both, but at the same time fully in
dorses all the Post says in their praise.
1t thinks Mr.. OCoNoR too old, and Mr..
TnDEs too pronounced partisan. e9n

THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD

At a meeting of the stockholders OF
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh railway
held at Cleveland last Tuesday, the
lease Of that road to the Pennsylvania
Company was ratified by decided ma.
jority. The lease is the same in the
main points as that which merged the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago
railroad into a branch Of the Pennsyl.
vania Central about year ago. Should
an arrangement be effected for connect.
ing the Cleveland and Pittsburgh and
the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St.
Louis roads at Steubenville or Mingo,
that freight and passengers may be car
ried over the Panhandle route between
Pittsburgh and this city, our people will
reap from this lease many Of the ad-
vantsges they hoped to obtain from the
proposed Pittsburgh, Wheeling and
Kentucky railroad. Over this route the
Pennsylvania Company ought to be
able to reduce the rates Of freight and
passage between this city and the East
and enter at once into active competition
with the Baltimore and Ohio road.
Now let us have q railroad bridge
across back river and locate the Depot
on the east side of the Island. The
same bridge may be made to serve for
both the Cleveland and Pittsburgh and
the new Wheeling and Lake Erie rail
roads, and our city may yet become q
railway centre and receive some stimu.
lus from communication with the out
side world. ..

The report of the Department of Agri-
culture for October says the influence of
drought and of the unusually low tempera-
ture of September has been unfayorable to
the ripening Of fruits and to the maturing
of corn and other crops. No general or
serious damage has resulted to corn, a
large portion of the crop being well adj
vanced by the high temperature Of August
before the recurrence of frost. The drought
of midsummer has been almost unbroken
in the West up to the date Of these returns,
interfering greatly with the seeding of
winter grain and with the termination
and growth of the areas which farmers have
been able to plant. The present condition
of corn, expressed as a per centage, 100
representing good crop, is as follows !:
New Hampshire Ill, Massachusetts, 1913,
Rhode Island l0l, Connecticut 105, New
Jersey l02, Delaware los, Maryland 1903,
Arkansas 1O2, Missouri l12, Ohio l0l,
Wisconsin l0S. Minnesota 10, Iowa
ia Kansas ll9, Nebraska ll2. The
product of wheat, as calculated from
county estimates, appears to be about Z
per cent. less than last year. The percent
ages of last years crop in the several States
are as follows: Maine 81, New Hamp-
shire l06, Vermont %, Massachusetts

THE St. Louis Dispatch a strong Demo-
cratic journal, in an editorial on the new
Democratic passive policy, uses the follow
ing language:
The Democratic party, on purely Demo-
cratic grounds, has no earthly hope of sue
cess in the next Presidential election. The
result Of the recent State elections has as
surely demonstrated this fact as results
possibly can, and it is worse than folly to
look for imaginary causes Of defeat when
the fact is transparent that Democrats voted
the Republican ticket because they had lost
faith in Democracy as it is, or preferred not
to vote at all. The course pursued by such
irreconstructibles as Stephens, Toombs.
and Wade Hampton, added to the acts of
the Ku-l<luX in the South, which, however
men may wish to disbclieve, they can no
longer deny, have brought about this result.
Men have lost faith, and the war Democrats
have repudiated by their votes party
which they could no longer, with respect
to their own convictions, support.

FOR AN AUTUMN FESTIVAL.

The Persian's fiowery gifts, the shrine
OF fruitful Ceres, charm no more
The woven wreaths of oak and pine
Are dust along the Isthermian shore
nut beauty hath its homage still,
hsd nature holds us still in debt:
And woman's grace and household skill
And manhood's toll, are honorcd yet
Aud we to-day, amidst our flowers
And fruits, have come to own again,
The blessings of the summer hours,
The early and the latter rain
To see our Fathers hand once more
Reverse for MS the plenteous horn
Of Autumn, filled, and running DER,
With fruit, and flo yer, and golden corn
Once more the liberal year laughs out
Ger richer stores than gems of gold
Once more with harvest song and shout,
Is Natures bloodless triumph told.
Our common mother rests and sings,
Like Ruth among her garnered sheayes
Her lap is full of goodly things,
Her brow is bright with autumn leaves.
o, fayors every year made new
o. gifts with rain, and sunshine sent
The bounty overruns our due
The fullness shames our discomfort.
We shut our eyes, the flower bloom on;
We mur1nur but the corn-ears fill
We choose the shadow, but the sun
That casts it, shines behind us STILL
God gives us with our rugged SOIL
The power to make it Eden-fair,
And richer fruits to crown our toll
Than summer-wedded islands bear.
Who murmurs at his lot to-day?
Who scorns his native fruit and bloom
Or signs for dainties far away,
Beside the bounteous board of home
Thank Heaven instead, that Freedom's arm
Can change rocky soil to gold
That brave and generous lives can warm
A cline with Northern ices cold.
And let these affairs wreathed with flowers
And piled with fruit--awalse again,
Thanksgiving for the golden hours,
The early and the latter rain
