The OYSTERS in York, Poquosin, and
some other tributaries of Chesapeake bay,
have become green, and in consequence,
unmarketable. Green is not fashionable
color among oyster-caters in the United
States, though in Paris a green oyster will
sell for twice as much as white one. The
French oystermen have ''greening ponds,"
in which the oysters are placed for the pur-
pose of being brought to the favorite color,
which is the result of certain minute forms
of vegetable and animal life ON which they
feed. The animal and phosphorus matter
increases with the color, as does the osma-
ZONE, and the flavor is said to be improved.
Nevertheless, such is the tyranny of
fashion, or perhaps prejudice, even in the
matter of eating, that the average Ameri-
can will hardly be brought to look with
favor on green oyster-especially SO long
as he reads in the papers so much about
epizooty, which he cannot help associating
in his own mind with the unusual color.
The result, we fear, will be that our hardy
oyster-tongers will be seriously inconve-
nienced by this unwelcome visitation in
the midst Of their harvest of the waters.
As the shipping of oysters to England
and France has become an important item
in the Norfolk trade, the dealers there will
know where to find an appreciatiye market
for the green ones"

THE Whig persiStently harps on the bal
lot as the source Of all the corruption il
imagines to pervade the land, and sees no
remedy but return to gioa eece voting. In
this it is reactionary instead Of progressive,
rs it sometimes claims to be. The Euro
pean nations, though reluctant 10 follow
the example Of the United States, are
adopting the ballet. Our English brethren,
who usually move cautiously after quarter
OF u century Of examination, observation
and exhaustive argument carefully weigh
ing the advantages and disadvantages of the
TIVE systems-have just adopted the ballot.
1t is true they have clogged its exercise
with numerous inconyenient requirements,
intended to facilitate fair vote; but which
are said to be annoying and unpopular.
These, however. will soon be remedied.
There is no case on record. We believe.
where the use of the ballot has been aban-
doned- Facilities for fraUd-such as re-
peating, personating, etc.--are about equal
under the two systems, while intimidation
and bribery--the two most demoralizing
evils Of all--haye ever Aourished under tho
era roce system TO on extent unapproach-
able where the ballot is used. The simple
truth of the matter is, an honest election
is only possible where there is an honest
board Of conducting officers.

IN April last President Grant issued an
executive order, in which he said: "While
the right of all persons in official positions
to take part in politics is acknowledged,
and the elective franchise is recognized as a
high trust 10 be discharged by all entitled
to its exercise, whether in the employment
of the Government or in private life, hon.
esty and efficiency, not political activity,
will determine their tenure Of office"
Members of Congress now arriving at
Washington, who are besieging the Presi.
dent for dismissals from Office and new ap-
pointments, would do well to consult that
order. IT seems that President Grant was
more in earnest in his effort for
evil service reform than the OPPOSE
ton gave him credit for during the
campaign. Republican politicians evi.
IDENTIFY did not think that he quite meant
all that he said. He and the people think
alike on the subject. The politicians may
not like it, but both tho people and the
President can afford to ask them what they
are going to do about it? If the strong
willed Executive snubs Simon Cameron on
this point, he is likely to snub all others
coming on similar errand.

THE New York Tribune of yesterday
has the following in regard to Mr.. Gree
ley's health, which would seem fully to
confirm the previous rumors in regard to
his mental condition +" We are deeply
panied to say that in the last thirty-six
hours Mr.. Greeley's condition has changed
greatly for the worse. Throughout yes
terday he remained nearly all the time I'M
conscious. In counsel Of some Of the
most eminent physicians Of the city, only
one was without hope, but all regarded
the case as critical and alarming"
We regret exceedingly that the condition
of Mr.. Greeley is 50 critical and alarming,
and can only hope that the !" one physician
without hope" may not have been more
critical in his prognosis than the other emil
nent gentleman associated with him in the
medical counsel.

SOME six months ago the Legislature of
Iowa saw cit to abolish the death penalty
in that state, and this premium on what
De Quincy terms +" the fine art of muir
der" has worked so uncommonly well
that desperate effort is now making to
restore the old law. The Iowa Presbyte-
rians resolved in favor of that course in
their late annual convoeation, and the
movement has been taken up with vigor
throughout the State. When assassins
and cut-throats insist upon making " mar

to bring hanging" into the same cate.

THE New York World should be better
posted than to intimate that " Postmistress
Van Lew" had been removed, or was likely
to be, from her position in this city, on the
grounds Of inoompetency, alleged or
otherwise. The World, in endeavoring to
make point on Miss Anthony, Tugs in
Miss Van Lew, Of this city, and says:
" Nevertheless the unfortunate fact remains
that the business of the office in question
tneaning the Richmond Postofiice) did not
conduct itself with as much regularity as
when under masculine supervision; and,
even admitting this to be altogether the
fault of the business and in nowise deroga-
tory to the ability Of the lady in charge
thereof, it leads US to fear that our fair Sis
ters will have to alter the machinery of
government to suit thcirpeculiar talents be-
fore its administration can be successfully
placed in feminine hands,"
Now VIC would inform the World that
the Postolice in this city has never been
more efficiently managed than by Miss Van
Lew. She has had difficulties to contend
against that few men would have overcome
more promptly, and has met oil the duties
aud responsibilities resting upon her as
brayely and resolutely as any masculine"
| could have done. There is no thought Of
her removal in this quarter, or in any other
thet we know of, and we have it on the au'
thority Of some Of the oldest res
idents and best citizens Of Richmond
and those having no sympathy with her in
the peculiar relation which brought her the
position of Postmistress, that the office
has never been more efficiently and salts
factoriy managed than under Miss Var
Lewis administration Of it. It is abou
time for our Northern contemporaries tt
let the Richmond Postoffice alone.
