A WORD IN BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE OF
NIRGISIA.-We print in another column
call uttered by the resident committee for
4 convention Of the whole State CoRSer-
vative Committee, in Richmond, on the goth
OF this month";
The length OF time allotted for assembling
this body strikes lis as being entirely too
limited, il, indeed, the whole movement is
not premature.
But passing this over, and forbearIng any
spcculatons as to the objects in view, we
assume that this meeting is to convene for
the sole purpose of considering questions of
interest to our organization.
In this aspect Of the case we beg leave to
remark that among the topics which they
should discuss it seems to us the reap.
pointment of their own body. or, in other
words, the surrender of their powers into
the hands of the people should be among
the first.
Since the canvass in which the gentle.
men whose names are elsewhere given
were appointed to the positions they now
hold, many changes have occurred, and
they hold their places by the courtesy of
| their constituents.
Werepeat, with emphasis, that they hold
their positions through the courtesy of
their constituents, and in this polite form
we concede more than the facts authorize,
for they now exercise their power through
| the action Of legislative caucus-that is,
| they speak for the people, if they speak at
all, by virtue of novel appointment from
the servants of the people. In brief, they
! represent selt-perpetuating system which
| is foreign to our habits, usages, and tradi-
| lions. In saying this we do not mean to
| insinuate any special objection to the gen.
! tlemen whose names adorn the committee.
We never move by indrcction. and if we
had any other object in view than that set
torth-to wit, the preservation to the peo-
pie o. their right to appoint, at short IN
tervals, their rcpl esentativeS on this COM
mittee, we should state it boldly and with
| out reserve.
Taking this view of the present attitude
| Of the Central Committee towards the con-
stituent body we have suggested the topic
above set forth as one worthy their imme-
| date consideration, and we have no doubt
1t will meet their approval.
| In one ward, the present call logically
involves convention Of our party, and we
! trust this may be postponed to the latest
| practicable moment.
There are many and sound reasons which
| suggest themselves in this connection which
| we need not state to the able and well. ill.,
formed gentlemen to whom this article is
| addressed. They understand as well as we
| do that the people of Virginia, who protest
| against centrahzation at Washington, will
not submit TO it in Richmond, and the
| country members will tell them this in
terms equally respectful and explicit with
| our oWn.-N0rfOlk FiTgantdn.

ARREST OF CouNrzRFE1rEns.-Am man who
calls himself Henry Smith was arrested IN
this place on Monday by Deputy Marshal
Lowry. and taken before United States
Commissioners Latham. for passing counter
felt money. The counterfeit Is q copper
imitation of the two and half dollar gold
coin. Smith had succeeded in passing
thirty-seyen and half dollars, and when
arrested attempted to throw away about
one hundred and sixty dollars which he had
on his person. After an examination, he
was sent to Jail to await his trial.
On Tuesday Samuel Martin, who halls
from Patrick county, was arrested as an ac-
complete Of Smiths. In the examination
before the commissioner it was proved that
he had been passing bogus five-cent coins
on some negro shopkeepers on Main street.
Failing to give bail, he was ordered into
confinement, to await the action Of the
United States Court at its September ses-
sion. Martin brought forward testimony,
and established good character, but from
what direction Smith comes no one knows.
The name he has given Is no doubt an
alias.-DdnUiHe Reqister.

only of weakness and fear. Thus we find
him saying to the people of Georgia:
Chilled with that Jealousy which springs
from the knowledge OF their inferiority, and Of
the justice of your pretonsions, and conscious
of broken covenants and violated constitu-
ton, they 1.-THE loyal men of the North) mis-
trust every movement, and tremble with fear
when they think that right may again pre-

1t seems almost like mockery for the
loyal people of the country to strew fow-
ers upon the graves of Union soldiers,
while they permit this monstrous traitor
and coward thus to insult their memories.
1t may be, as this petticoat here says, that
punishment for him is played out"
This is what John Real, far lesser crimi-
nal than JEFF. Davis, thought; but he was
hanged, nevertheless. If the EXP President
of the Confederacy keeps on in the way be
has commenced, he may yet finish his ca
reer at the end of a rope. 1t is a little too
much to expect the people to stand by
quietly while the rngleader in the late re-
belion goes about the country trying to
fan fame wherever he sees little smoke.

a Higher Education for women.

Among the quantities of rubbish in the
late discussions concerning the social con-
dition of women, there are one or two
points which are really practical and in
urgent need of being granted and we be-
lieve that such course would have the
effect of lessening the clamor for the bal
lot and its political accomplishments. We
refer to higher education and wider
opportunity for employments. These two
questions are almost inseparably connected,
for employment must always depend very
greatly on the education of those seeking
it, and the education, in its turn, must be
of the sort required for given trade or
profession.
The complaint goes up from every shop,
every avenue of work in which women are
employed, of the scarcity of skilled work.
women. There are plenty of women seek
ing employment, and but few that UNDER
stand any business thoroughly. The pre-
JUDGE against giving to women the most
liberal educational advantages that are
open to men, is fast dying out, and
although public opinion has not yet so en-
tirely agreed to give them free choice of
occupations outside the home, there is
no doubt that when they have educa-
tional fitness for trades and profess
sons formerly engrossed by men, they
will have little difficulty in obtaining places
in them. In printing, telegraphy and
journalism, and in the medical and legal
professions as well, women are already al
lowed on the score of capabilty, even if
no. quite heartily welcomed. We do not
hesitate to say, that while the selfshness
and love Of power in men have had some
share in limiting the pursuits of women
outside the home, the ignorance and tinlid-
ity of women themselves have had far
greater influence. a-
From the lowest grade of education to
the highest for women, there is yet the de-
feet that we have no standard of scholar
ship, nor can we we'll have this until girls
are educated with some definite purpose as
boys are. From first to last the boy has
trade, calling, or pursuit held out to him
as an incentive to study and thoroughness
of attainment. The girl has no such
thing. She studies usually from no higher
motive than that which love of self-culture
gives. The idea of making that culture of
use to Others, or Of pecuniary avail to her
self, is withheld from her. 1t is not quite
"the thing" for a girl to earn money unless
she is absolutely obliged to.
When girls are taught at the mothers
knee, at the home freside, in school, and
in society, that it is as disgraceful for them
to be loafers as it is for their brothers, we
shall have girls demanding and getting
that thoroHghness of mental and technical
training which is needed in the successful
pursuit of any employment, and not be-
fore. We shall have standard, then, for
scholarship, and women will look upon
education as something better than mental
ruffles and furbelows, or as a mere means
Of enabling them TO support themselves in
genteel independence until they can mar
ry, and we shall hear no more of lack of
employments for women.

Mistaken Mercy.
From the New York Times. ]


The course which Mr.. Jefferson Davis
Is now pursuing is well calculated to revive
and strengthen those doubts which have
all along existed, as to the wisdom of the
policy adopted by the government in its
treatment of the authors of the late rebel
lion. There is no Disgusting the fact that
a very large portion of the loyal people of
this country--and by no means the least
reflective or intelligent portion--ha
never been satisfied with the manner in
which that terrible drama was brought to
close. The common sense of Justice.
which is as old as creation, and universal
as man, seemed to be violated in permit
ting the authors of so much misery, and
such widespread ruin, to go altogether
UNPUBLISHED. For the shareholders re-
bellion was no ordinary civil war, where
one faction strives with another for the
: mastery, and the masses have no interest
in either. 1t was a blow struck by an
aristocratic oligarchy against the rights of
man; it was an attempt to break up a
government "of the people, by the people,
and for the people," and substitute in its
place a government founded on human
slavery as the cornerstone. The rebellion
thus became crime against humanity,
and the war for its suppression, as Mr..
Evarts truly said in his speech at the
Academy Of Music on Tuesday evening,
was s'the war of an intelligent and honest
people who were fighting for what they
owned and for what they valued. They
fought for the country in which all were
equal--all had an equal share. A per-
sonal patriotism, personal honor, formed
their motives and led their steps to the
battle"
After achieving the victory in such
contest, 1t was not unreasonable to expect
that the leading rebels who had provoked
it for their own selfish ends, and who had
conducted it in the most inhuman and bar
barous manner, would at least receive some
punishment for their double treason
against their country and against liberty.
The loyal people of the country certainly
had right to demand, after their beloved
and chosen leader had been laid in his
grave by the hands OF rebel assassin that
the chief of the rebellion should not be
allowed to roam at will over the country,
and finally be permitted, after lapse of
six years, to renew his reasonable utter
ances, and try to incite another rebellion
among bis people.
Magnanimity, generosity and mercy are
all very well in their places, but they
should never be INDUCED in at the expense
of justice or the public safety and events
have proved that they never should have
been wasted upon such man as jeff. Da-
Wis at all. His is one OF those natures
that construe magnanimity as evidence
