want of these advantages with its magnifl-
cent lands shriveled in price, its energies
crippled to the very verge of apathy, its
heart and hope almost departed, to use a
metaphor of our neighbor Of the Enquirer !;
why, we repeat, is this the condition
of Virginia? Let us not go back to the
embittercd and intolerant past for an an
swer. Brave and honorable warriors
sheathe their enmities with their swords.
We will not look for an answer, then, in
this direction, but will seek it where we
think the true secret lies--aoitlia the lmits
of a social ostracism sohich bars tie indus
trial resources Of the State against all decel-
opme'at, by ercludiag, not The patient, plod-
ding, laborious laborer Of the North, but
the daice, energetic, flirting business man,
acho could bring indisputable strength, char
acter and energy aoith him, and expend It all
IN deueloping the resources and ,ceoM of
our great State.
What we want here is numbers, capital,
labor, energy and reliable business charac-
ter, to build up, improve, adorn, .beautify,
make pleasant and profitable all the old
places-many of them historic in their
character-which now lie in partial ruins
and manifest unthrift for the want of the
right kind of emigration to our State. But
this kind will not come so long as they
know that social ostracism awaits them
here ; nor will they send their. money for
investment where they can not deal on
plane of social equality with their debtors.
1t is within our knowledge that large
number of enterprising and energetic capi-
talists of the North-men standing high in
social position in the communities where
they reside-would have come to Virginia
five and even six years ago, but for this
one feature of our society. They may
have been wrong in the impression
that deferred them but right or wrong,
they have kept away. They felt that they
could not come to Virginia without encoun-
tering for themselves and their families
social ostracism which their manliness and
independence of spirit could not brook.
Bear in mind that the wealth of emf
grafton is the most productive of any that
State can possibly have. 1t is this wealth
which has given such wondrous prosperity
to the West, causing mighty cities to spring
up at the mere touch of its industrial wand.
Double the population of Virginia by emf
grafton, and you quadruple or four-fold its
wealth; let it fall off to one-half what it
now is, and its aggregate wealth will be
more than quadruply diminished. This is
the relative value that wealth bears to in
creased or diminished population every
where. We want the living wealth of thew
and Drawn, of nerve and sinew, of brain
and iron will, of muscle and skill, to bring
us up to the complete ascendancy which
our American civilization demands. Can
we have it with social ostracism staring
every newcomer in the face? Does such
an ostracism exist ? Is it wise that it
should exist? We ask, but do not answer
these questions to-day.

The late speeches Of Sir Charles Dixie,
against the extravaganza of the royal
family and the abuses OF the monarchy,
have strongly aroused the English jour
mails, and the recreant peer is receiving un-
measured abuse from all quarters; in fact,
he may be said to be the best abused man,
just now, in all England. Precisely what
Sir Charles desires to effect in the
way of reform, may not be so
distinctly seen at this distance as
among his immediate constituencies but
we presume he has matured some practical
measures of reform which he will bring
forward in Parliament, and urge upon the
of the Gladstone government at
the proper time. The high talk about
erecting republic on the ruins of the mon
archy is merely $50 much for Buncombe,o
as we used to say in North Carolina. There
are abuses enough, no doubt, to be cor
rected in the British government, but no
one man of Sir Charles Dilke's ability
nor twenty of them, for that matter-is
yoing to shake the foundations of monarchy
o their overthrow in England.

GOVERNOR PALMER,s Defence OF
THE LAW. ~. - q

| cit is my duty says Governor Palmer Of IL
linois in his message to the Legislature to exert
all the powers the people have conferred upon
me to maintain the adjustments of political pow
er precisely as the people in their constitutions
have determined am not at liberty, even by
my silence indifference, to to acts that
viii insidiously change the spirit and substance
of our institutions, while the forms of the govern
ment remain unaltered"
Our readers know the circumstances
under which Mayor Mason, of Chicago,
yielding to an objectionable weakness, if
not to senseless popular clamor, abdicated
his authority in favor of martial law, and
placed that city under the control of Gen.
Sheridan. The extract which we take
from Governor Palmer's message, relates
to some of the more summary acts of the
General, and the troops under his COM
mand. A worthy and estimable citizen
was shot dead for an unintentional infringe
ment of some military rule or order. The
Governor undertook to bring the parties
guilty of this murder to punishment before
the courts of Chicago, but he found these
courts SO awed by the terrors ofmartisl law
that they dared not, or icould not, assume
the responsibility of Furnishing the persons
implicated in this murder. lie then wrote
to the Attorney General of the State, re-
commencing the Indictment of General
Sheridan, General Sherman Frank IT, and
Mayor Mason. We all know what storm
Of abuse fell upon him for making this re-
commentator. We knew him to be one
of the purcst minded and clearest headed
statesmen of the Northwest, and that what
ever action he had taken had been duly con-
sidered and carefully weighed in advance.
twill now be seen that his object was
to maintain the ascendancy of law over
military rule, or, as he carefully expresses
it, maintain the adjustments Of political
power precisely as the people in their
have determined" In this he |
was right. In times of war the laws must |
of necessity be silent but in times of
peace, or whenever and wherever the laws
can be properly administered, they should
be maintained at all hazards, and military
authority, in no instance, allowed to usurp
the place of the civil power. This is not
only in accordance with the letter and
spirit of our government, but with those
principles of civil liberty which have been
as the life of republics in all
lges.
