POLITICAL NOTES..

There is Il printers Greeley club in San
Francisco. 1t was organized Oil Sunday the
18th in tant.
Ex-president johnson is in favor of elect
ing the President and United States senators
by direct vote Of the people.
\ thorough canvass of the German voters

doubtful.
The Chicago Tribune publishes 4 list Of
thrty-seyen generals who were engaged in
suppressing the rebellion that have come out
for Greeley.
Among the Republican stump-SreakerS
for Maine are JOHN \. Bingham, whom Ben
Butler SAYS is a murderer, and Butler whom
Bingham says is thief.
The colored people Of st. Louis will not
permit one of their race TO wear white hat.
If a negro is caught with one on lie is i'll
danger of having both hat and head smashed.
The Philadelphia Press thinks the Louis
vile Democratic Siraight-Out Convention
will be IL failure. from the fact that it will not
he recognized by any prominent men Of the
Democratic party.
The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore S,ul says that General Grant will
make no speeches during this campaign. As
it was not generally expected that he would,
the disappointment will not be very great.
The Newark On. j. journal is not afraid
to trust Mr.. Greeley to make us many
speeches OF write rs many letters as he
chooses. 1t says: Let him go on speaking
and writing; the more he does of each the
better we shall like it. for day by day will the
contrast grow stronger between the man
who can do these things and the man who
cannot"
The Memphis (Tenn.) -Aralmehe, which
has in time past contributed its full share TO
the abuse of Horace Greeley, now says:
"1here are few persons who will call in
question Horace Grccley'S veracity. His pos
tive statements OH all subjects are lyeiverSal-
" accepted as truthful, because the Secords
of a long and busy public life have never
traced an untrulh to his door,"
The most stupcndouS political document
of the campaign is coming. The Detroit Free
Press predicts that Alexander Fl. StephcnS's
letter accepting one of the Louisville nomi-
nations, should he receive it, will be "just
furty-one miles long,"
There is prospect of a lively canvass in
Massachusetts this year. There are four
tickets already promised. The Liberal and
Democratic, the Grant. the Prohibition, and
the Labor parties, are ali OH the war-path.
Neither party has as yet selected its stand
ard-bearer, but in this multiplicity Of coun-
sells if there is not wisdom there may be
accidents.
DO the people who talk of Greeley's re|a-
tons with the rebels ever realize that Grant

A Big Business.

The internal revenue of Texas collected
by the Federal Government amounts to
SCI, 2GG.0G. The collectors Of the Govern
ment are paid for their services $4,000,
leaving the Government only S25, 2GG.96.
This is great business, indeed, for the
American Republic. But these collectors
have to the Administration u vastly more
important duty to perform than that of col
Letting the revenue. That duty is to con-
troll the elections us far us they can-to i'll
timidatc as many Conservatives rs possible
with threats OF prosecution for violation of
the revenue laws-and to assist in drilling
the negroes and keeping them fast bound in
slavery to the Radical party. 1t hats been
recently stated on good authority. aud not
contradicted, that near three thousand
Texans were indicted and bound over to
appear to answer the charges against them
SO far away from their homes Us to make it
impossible for them to vote at the presidcn-
tial election. This is what in war would be
the capture of so many prisoners. 1t is not
less so in peace. These men are taken out
of the field, and will be unable to fight
against the War Administration at the cleo
ton.
So we see what the officers of the Govern
ment can do by interfering with the cleo
tons and sitting the voice of the people.
Their collections in Texas aggregate sum
so small that it is not worth stealing but
they are indispensable to the GRANT system
for defeating the people,

THE COMING PoPE.-The most likely sue.
cessor to the present Pope is Cardinal An
tonic Maria Panebanco, OF the Order of st.
Francis. He was born at TerranuOva, in
Sicily, on the 18th of August, 1903, and was
made Cardinal by Plus n. i'll the consistory
of the 9th of September, 1861. He has
always profeSsed great admiration for Pope
SiXtus ", whose life was his favorite study.
and in whose cell he lived. One day, while
in reverie, he suddenly heard a knock at
his door, and voice told him that he would
be Cardinal. This announcement did not
surprise him; he merely replied, 40
SdpeU0," and be will, says the Gdzzettd,
doubtless say the same when he learns that
he has been elected Pope. Cardinal Pane
bianco once swore before Conova's monument
to Clement XIV. that he would restore the
Order of the Jcsuits to its former great
ness and this is said to be the great object
Of his life. He is the intimate friend OF
Father Becky, the General of the Order,
but, like his model SiXtus v, he is Excess
sivcly reserved, carefully concealing from
every one his intentions for the future. He
praises the Syllabus, and defends the prin-
ciple of infallibility with extraordinary skill
and theological knowledge. AS for Plus
TX, she. has thorough belief in the Cardinal
since young Ilalian girl prophesicd some
twenty years ago that the next Pope would
be monk of the Order Of st. Francis.
Mystical concludes the Gaszettd, "as
Saybnarola, Panebiancho is the slave OF a
medieval Utopia, which moves him to re-
viye the church Of the thirteenth century I;
and the Society Of Jesus, which does not be.
lieye in mysticism, regards him withanxiety,
not quite knowing whether he is friend or
an enemy Gaszeita d'ItaltG.

Tho committees and clubs and ConserVa'
,;yex generally in this State should so 70
work n, once, and with activity and vigilance,
70 make the Virginia victory a matter oeyona
,soraaya.t,re The Republican press is
claiming this state with great apparent con-
aaancc we infer from this that measures
have been taken at Washington to bring
y;,ein;a to the footstool Of Radical power
and that the editors and Republican orators
have faith that these measures will have the
effect they are intended to produce.
Assurediy after the glorious manner ~
which her sons have defended Virginia from
this dire humiliation in the poit'cai strus,
v,es since the war, It is not to be bfoushl
mon her now. This fate cannot be thought
&C Surely yirginians will neither rest nor
Gloon q untiripg vigilance be required to pre-
vent such calamity.
The means of the Federal Administration
are great, and the organization of the Repub'
lican party in Virginia is understood to DE
thorough. The unscrupulous Radical habit
of EMPLOYING all agencies and all the powers
Of the Government warn us to be on the
alert. to guard every point, and prevent the
nract;ce of frauds intended for our defeat.
The system of importing voters is quite popu-
,ar. II did great things in the border counties
Of North Carolina at the last election IN tilat
State. OF all imported voters the negroes
are the most useful. They are so hard TO
identify. In crowd it is almost as hard to
toll one negro from another as it is to tell one
biack.eye pea from another. sothey may be
hurled in almost with impunity at the polls.
II requires the greatest vigilance of officers
amounted to see that the elections are fairly
conducted. One thing is clear, and that Is
that the Libelai cause will get few if any
negro votes. The poor African is still a
slave, and dare not vote except as his masters
tell him. So when they crowd in we may
look upon them as in part imported by the
Administration, and there can be no mistake
III challenging.
The most fatal deiusion in political cam
paigning is the idea that there is no danger
of defeat. 1t inculcates apathy, and indifter-
ence, and sleep. When you awake, alas it
is too often to learn that you are defeated.
To avoid this fate there must be now work
and an active canvass. Every man must try
to influence one neighbor at least, and every
man must see that means are provided TO
take the voters to the polls on the day Of
election. No man is without Influence !;
every man can do something. The commit
tees aud clubs, State and county, should
carve out work and confide it to proper
hands, and all should do something. "Per-
petual vigilance is the price of liberty" Our
liberty is in greater peril than at any time
since the existence of the Republic, and no
man can acquit himself of his public duty who
does nothing for the restoration and security
of liberty and for the restoration OF good,
honest government tO the nation,

italian IMM1GRArIoN.-The Emdnclpd-
zios,e, an italian journal, has collected sta
tistics on the subject of the emigration OF
the Italian population to the Atlantic ports
of the United States. Prior to 1850 the III
migration of Italians was less than one nun
dred per annum. The number, however,
rose to 1882 in 1866, and, gradually III
creasing, amounted to 1886 in 1871. During
the last six years the total immigration
amounted to 13,455 persons. In the United
States, exclusive of California, there are
$1,000 Italians, of whom $4,000 are men and
q 900 are women. The Italians come from
the following provinces: Liglria, 1880
Sicily, $50; Naples, G,l5o; Piedmont, $500;
Tuscany, 1910; Rome and the Romagna,
1850; Lombardy, $500; the Emilian pro-
vinces, 800; Venice. $40; and other pro-
yinces, $500. This emigration is attributed
to the miserable condition of the agricu-
tural population of Italy, which, it is stated,
is aggravated by the introduction of high
farming and the driving out of the old sys-
ten of dividing the profits between the land
lord and tenant.

A VICTIM OF THE COMET-SINGULAR DEATH.
Sunday night last at about 10 o'clock Pat
rick Cayanaugh, who had been in the en-
ploy of Mr.. james Valentine, on his farm
near Rockbridge, for the past six or. eight
years, met with singular accident, resulting
in his death. He had gone up stairs to his
room, and the family had retired for the
night. At the hour stated the household
was aroused by the noise of CaranauSh's fall
ing down the stairway. When picked up
it was ascertaincd that his forehead had
struck the knob of door opposite the foot
of the stairs with such force us to fracture
the skull and leave an indentation upon the
knob. Cavanaugh had been reading about
the " destroying comet and was known to
have been worried over it. 1t is supposed
that his thoughts Ware bearing OH this SUBJ
ject, and that in falf bewidered state he
had risen from his bed, and, probably. started
out to look after the comets coming, not
withstanding the allotted time had passed for

DEaru OF DIT. j oHs BIZ The Philadei-
phia papers announce che death there on
Monday evening of DR.. John Bell. aged
seyenty.seyen, who, If not native OF We
ginia, was for the greater part OF his early
life resident of this State. The Ledger, IN
a notice of the deceased, says:
Forty years ago there were but few gen.
tlemen In Philadelphia society more Wiaeiy
known or more highly esteemed thah Df.
John Bell. At that time the announcement
of his dangerous illness would have beeH
tonic of regrctful conversation I'D All the re-
fined social circles of the city, Tor he was Il
welcome guest in them all. Now his de
cease although made known to large num-
bers by obituary notices in the newspaper
press) is announced to q generation TO
whom he is but little known except as an
author Of standard works in the literature
of medicine. He was the contemporary OF
many of the great men which Philadelphia
has given to medical science-those doctors
of the old school who made our city the
home of medical instruction for the United
States. He outliyed nearly all of them. In
the biographical works which mention the
name of DR.. Bell, Ireland and the year l196
are given as the place and the date OF his
birth. THIS may be correct, although we
have some reasons for believing him TO have
been native of Virginia. lie certainly re-
sided in that State at an early period in his
life. He was graduated at the University OF
PENNSYLVANIA in the year 1917, and after some
time spent in travel and the study of his pro-
lcssion in foreign countries nc published his
first work in Philadelphia, in 1881, on "Baths
and Mineral Springs" Subsequently he pub
lished {" Healthand Beauty" 1855; Regimen
and Longevity" 1912" Lcctures on the Prac-
tice of Physic," 1918 :" Baths and the Water
Regimen" 1S49; "Mineral and Thermal
Springs of the United States and Canada"
1865. Besides these more elaborate works
DR.. Bell was Il contrib1tog to, or editor Of a
number of periodicals in fhc line of bis pro-
iession and in general literature. Some OF his
writings, on subjects upon which he was IL
recognized authority. have appeared i'll the
columns of this journal. He was member
of the College of Physicians and Surgeons
and the other wcll-known medical societies
of this city, and Il lecturer, teacher, and pro-
fcsSor in several medical colleges.

years, bearing his inGrmitie> with patience

THE HoT WEATHER IN ENGLASD.-A letter
from London, in speaking of the tropical heat
of that city in July, says that it occasions
more inconvenience than the mere range OF
the thermometer would justify. This is
owing to the singular want OF I'LL appliances
for its comfortable endurance in England
generally. Ice. thin clothing, and cooling
drinks are alike scarce or noll-eXistent. An
Englshman's house, clothing, ETC., are in
tended to bid. defiance to cold and damp !:
clothing especially is rarely changed in ma
terial throughout the year; so, when the
heat does come, every one becomes fretfui
asd fidgety, and rllshes off in search of cooling
hrecZeS and salt-sca wayes-und the metropo-
lis is deserted
