Burleigh tells this story in the Bos-
ton Journal:
Coming up in the cars quite an
amusing incident occurred. The palace
ears need custom. The common ears
are few and crowded, aud those who
would be comfortable are compelled
to pay extra and have u seat in the
palace sal0 n. Several gentlemen
stood. a lady took whole seat to
herself. and piled up her baggage on
the spot where weary gentlemen would
be glad to repnse. The lady left her
seat for moment aud went To the rear.
A gentleman at once went for it-piled
the bags on the sea; the lady occupied
and sat down. All watched the opera
tion. Soon the lady came ON with u
quick step. She came to halt and
said, "Sir, you have my seat 81
think not; your luggage is on your
seat" 81 have had the seat all the
way from Albany" "Yes ma am, and
| have stood all the way from Albany,
and intend tu ride tn, rest of the way
to Rutland" Not an inch did the
woman bulge; she held her ground
full ten minutes. The intruder was
quietly reading-the only one in the
car that was not absorbed in the atiair,
The silence was painful. At hast the
won.an gave way. In huff she siezed
her bundles, made for the palace car,
and paid for all the room s6e occupied.
Her exit was attended with o short,
sharp cheer, and the audience recover

A Good Woman.

A good woman never grows old.
Years may 90 over her head, but il
bcnevolence aud virtue dwell in he-
heart, she is AS cheerful us when the
spring of lie first .pened to her view.
When We look upon a good woman,
we never think Of her age-she looks
as charming us when the rose of youth
first bloomed upon her cheek. That
rose has not faded yet; it will never
fade. In her neighburhood she is the
friend and benefactor-in the church,
the devout worshipper and exemplary
Christian. Who does not love and re.
spect the woman who has raised her
days in acts of kindness nd mercy, who
has been the friend of man aud God
whose whole life has been scene of
kindness and love, a devotion of love
and religion? We repeat, such wo-
man can not grow old. She will al
ways be fresh and buoyant in spirits,
and active in humble deeds of mercy
and benevolence. If the young lady
desires to retain the bloom and beauty
of youth, let her not yield to the sway
of fashion and folly; let her love truth
and virtue; AMI to the close of life
she will retain those feelings which
now make life appear garden of
sweets, ever fresh and new.

turned out and helped select this choice
ticket. Of ooursel We were prepared to
expect as much from the Whig. The red
bandanas and gold spectacles were we'll
represented, but we doubt the recognition
of gentlemen very much. 1t, too, COM
plains of union and harmony in spite of
the "indignation meeting" of Clay Ward.
What set you are to anticipate
1t has lately fallen into the very bad hab-
it of treating us to long lectures from some
sore headed Republican paper, and asks us
to read what they have to say, but never
tells us that they are enlisted in the inter-
est of some pet who wants to be the next
President. 1t has lately favored the nomi-
nation of some Republican SO strongly that
we are inclined to believe it will flnally..set-
tie down upon Grant as its favorlte, and
lend us its powerful influence to re-elect
him, provided the Democrats do not elect
their present ticket for City Council, in
which event the Importance attached to it
by the enquirer may induce the Whtg 10
go for jeff Davis.
The evening press and its spirit speaks
for ITSELF Connected with and friendly to
no faction, the JOURNAL is universally read
in Richmond, and particularlyby the me-
chanics and workingmen, whose interests it
defends, and we are truly gratified to see
this class of our citizens so thoroughly
alive to their interests, and so determined
to sustain a paper friendly to their cause.
We boast of our Republicanism and of
our wish to keep up with the progressive
age, and expect in short time to convince
the people of Richmond, by industry and
energy, that we are worthy of their favor
and consideration, as journal devoted to
the solid interests Of her citizens and the
prosperity of our city.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT.

In short time the Republicans of the
different wards will be called upon to
make nominations for the City Council, to
be voted for on Thursday next. We have
already seen the men who are offered to
the citizens of Richmond by the Demo-
Gratis, and are satisfied that we have only
to be careful and judicious in our selections
to defeat them, or sufficient number of
them to give us a majority in the next
Council.
Our city, at present, is in the hands of
an undenied corrupt body, which has sick
ened and disguised the honest and intelli-
gent people, who are in favor of any
change for the better.
Many of them have the impudence to
thrust themselves again before the public,
and must take the consequences of their
rashness; but of them, in this, we have
little to do. We must look to our
selves, and believe that we have but short
distance to travel to find ticket which
will be more acceptable to the community,
and if elected, will be better guardians of
public interest than theirs.
In your selection, be careful TO make
them from those who are competent, hon.
est and faithful, and avoid those who are
seekers after place. Such are generally
unfit representatives in bodies which pay
nothing, and as general rule are not en-
tirely trustworthy.
The opportunity is now offered our par
ty, if it will only be guided by reason, to
dethrone and destroy the enemy, build
up our own, and give to the city Council
which will govern its affairs with decency
and at least find defender among its
many friends when assailed with charges of
fraud and corruption.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1871-05-22
A WARNING.

Circumstances happening in our midst
almost daily, convince US that the party
of "moral ideas" will not hesitate to resort
to any means to defeat the prospects of
the Republican party, now so fiattering, to
elect its ticket on Thursday next.
We know that its officers have shown a
willingness whenever possible, to disfran-
chse the colored people, and will stop at
nothing to prevent them from voting on
election day; it, therefore, becomes our
duty to warn you of the danger of giving
them the slightest excuse to justify their
cont emptible efforts.
They have attached an undue impor-
tance to the election about to take place,
but no matter, their followers, ready to be-
lieye anything said to them, will be ready
to believeit and will prepare themselves to
defeat you by fair or foul means.
The colored people, then, must be on the
alert, must be alive, sharp and keen to see
their object, and avoid any action likely to
afford them an opportunity to dsfranchise
them.
Make no resistance to any effort they
may make, but 10 all. things put yourself
upon the protection of the law, and al
though frequently unjustly administered,
the benefits to you will, in the end, be
greater than in its resistance, besides foil
ing your enemies in their base and cruel
attempts to deprive you of your just rights.
Saturday night last witnessed one of
these attempts, which we are now investi-
eating and will notice further. You do
your duty, under all such circumstances,
and leave the rest to those who would be
unjust to you.

ANoTaER EyIDENCE,

Governors Walker and Hoffman are in
Norfolk, and jeff. Davis may be there for
what we know, and we are informed by
correspondent of the Enquirer, that Gene
raj William Malone is en- route for the
same place.
The mouse grows until it has become
decidedly ratish. We all know General
Malone was Mr.. Walkers right bower at
the time he fooled our party SO nicely, and
stands at the head of the profession as a
sharp political manager in Virginia, and
his visit to Norfolk just at this time looks
as if he had an object in view, of political
character.
The Enquirer will keep on until it let's
the whole cat, tail and all, out Of the bag,
unless it is curbed by its more cunning
ueighbor of the Dispatch. 1t can't help
it, though it has weakness for dealing In
facts, and is square, honest political en-
emy, up to no tricks, and perfectly "sound
on the goose"
