his abdomen, the wound inflicted
proved to be fatal.
We chronicle the demise of Mr.. Val
landigham with sadness. He was a
great statesmun-a great lawyer-a
great man. AS such we mourn his
loss. But his recent heresies have
done more to make his memory forgot
ten than all the acts of his life. Ger
tainly the people Of the South can have
no sympathy with him; for on his
death-be he took occasion to declare
that their course was erroneous and
wicked; and We cannot believe that
the Northern Democracy will accept his
programme aud fall into the ranks of
Radicalism, By acknowledging that
their opposition to negro superiority
was wrong.
We mourn him as man whose abil-
tiles were great-but whose house was
built upon sand; as man who would,
for the sake Of obtaining power, bctray
the party which honored him. Bcue,
dict Arnold did hut this much, aud his
name is cxccrated. Wherein lies the
difference between the two men?

$4,000. 900 sEcuEEp-rnE ROAD TO DE
BUILT WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY.
We have received the gratifying in
telligencc that the Washington & Ohio
Railroad Company have secured loan
Of Nine Million Dollars, and that work
will be commenced forthwith. We are
not able to state al what time the road
will be finished to this point, but from
the appearance of hings, we venture
the prediction TIL. in less than three
years tie iron horse will daily arrive in
NIoorefcldfrom Washington. We give
below oil extract fiom letter from
Winchester, Virginia, to one Of our
merchants:
at affords me great pleasure to in
form you that the Washington 4 Ohio
Railroad Company has secured a loan
of Nine Million Dollars, $4,000, 00O,)
as l am informed, and the decd is uow
recorded. So YOU will soon, l hope,
have a way opened to your beautiful
valley. without the aid of Hampshire
county,"
Since put,'rg the above in type, We
have received 20 Loudoun Mirror, in
which appears he following paragraph
regarding this matter:
"0n Monday week the decd Of trust
on all the franchises, &c., ofthc Wash
iugton and Ohio Railroad Company, to
secure 50 000,0 Of bonds, was re-
ceived 70 record in the Clerks office of
the county court of Loudoun. 1t had
previously been recorded i'll Alexandra
county, in the city of Alexandra, and
in Fairfax county, and will bcrccorded
in Clark aud frederick in Virginia, and
in all the counties in West Virginia,
through which the read passes. The
company has advertised for proposals
for constructing the road to Winches-
ter by the first of May, 1872, and the
bids will be considered on the 18th of
June"

the Southern States, except in Tennes-
see, aud thus gave the blacks political
power. Now the difficulty must occur
to us, that without the Fifteenth amend
ment and with the power in the State
alone to regulate suffrage in the several
States in which the negroes have a nu-
mcrical prepouderance, they would de-
prive the white man, on account Of his
color, of the right to vote, and allow
only the negro to vote. THIS we can
not consent to, and yet it is one of the
striking complications which enthral US.
However vicious the measures employed
may have been, by which these ncfari
GUS amendments were adopted, yet if We
undertake to treat them as invalid, We
are lost. We are not responsible fer
then-thcy exist without our agency-
the skirts Of the Democracy are unfair
uished with this odium. Loving the
Constitution, we must submit to its
parts, and We should employ all efforts
to save the good which is left in it.
The Democracy must practice its ira.
ditional love Of this instrument, and
when in power, especially to prevent
abuses under the shadow Of the l4th
and 18th amendments. practice rigid
construction which denies to Congress
and the President all powers not ez-
prsssly granted or plainly and mani
testify inferablc from the granted pow
ers. The people see the dangers ahead
and are coming to the true ideas. II
the Democracy defantly assert abstract
theories and insist they are right, and
all who oppose them are wrong-right
as abstract propositions they may be
they divert the people from their good
purposes and We lose all. 1t may,per-
haps, be philosophy, to spend time on
distractions, but it won't do for these
practical times, when it is SO important
to go on and get what is practical and
attainable,in order that We may improve
upon it, instead ofrefusing to DO, be-
cause things are not as they should be-.
This kind OF philosophy is like that of
Empedocles, who descended the crater
Of a volcano, uncbserved, that his fol-
lowers might be convinced he was i'm
mortal and had gone to Heaven.
distractions IN these piping times
may do to be proud of, but they won't
do to save the country from impending
ruin. The Democracy Of Ohio ere
right in my humble judgment. Their
position involves no surrender of prin-
ciple, aud only treats accomplished
facts as such. Most Truly,
Yours, &c, j. d.

Special Despatch to The Evening telegraph.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Since the Democra-
tic address was issued some of the maguates of
the party have been casting about for an availa-
BILE candidate for the Presidency. 1t appears
they are willing to take o man who has here
tofore been a Republican, such as Justice DAVIS
They had all but fixed upon Davis as the man,
but since he voted in favor of the constitution
ality of the Legal-tender act reversing the
former decision, they have abandoned him.
Warm Discussion In the Supreme Court.
1t is said that during the conference of the
Supreme Court Judges on the legal-tender ques-
tion the Chief Justice had a warm controversy
with Justice Miller, which was participated in by
the other judges. Strong language was used on
both sides.
Mr.. Greeley and the Presidential q estiOn.
Horace Greeley was here yesterday, and had
a long interview with Mr.. Boutwell, concerning
financial matters. In regard to the next Presi-
dency, he stated that in his judgment it was too
soon for the party to commit itself in favor of
any candidate. He does not think General
Grant can get the Republican delegates from
New York State, If the same line of policy
now in force is continued. When asked who
was his candidate, he replied that he had none.
Minister washburne's Dispatches.
Dispatches received from Mr.. Washburne con-
cernng affairs in Paris state that the people are
Respondent and that no man has yet appeared
with sufficient strength to bring order out of the
present chaos. There is no prospect of a resto-
ration of peace, and the indications are that the
civil war will continue until the national ener-
gies ale utterly wasted.
