BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press. The New York Times
saws that these sketches, 'for light, airy, but
genuine delneations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day'' The Boston Transcript says that ''ior
deiieacy of tonch, quaint sentiment, and quiet
humor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best Of

BACKLOG STUDIES No. III. ''renews and
increases the evidence given in his previous pei

the N. Y. Mail says it is the "best thing he has
written,i and the best thing in its way any
American or English magazine has had for many

WOODS HOUSEHOLD MAGAZINE for
June is number Of unusual excellence.
1t contains articles from some of the best
writers in the country, and its contribu-
tions from those not so well known are OF
a high order of merit. This number has
the beginning of charmingly told story
by j. Luella Dowd. II is seldom we lind
anything written in language SO choice and
beautiful. Woods Household has attained
high place, and it will keep it.

A STATEMENT appeared in the Rich
mond correspondence of the Petersburg
Index to the effect that General Grant had
sent letter inviting meeting OF distin-
guished native Virginians to the White
House. s3
The object of this meeting was also
stated to be connected with the Federal
offices in Virginia. We have simply to
say that no such letter or invitation has
been sent. The only foundation of this
story, is the fact that Senator Lewis stated
to the President that several promi-
nent Virgnians were coming TO see
him on Saturday. 10 which Gen.
Grant replied that he should be happy
to see them. Our Greeley friends reed not
| take SO much trouble to create bal feeling
between Republicans, those born in and
those born out Of the State. They are all
going to hang together in this fight, OF
+" they will certainly get hung separately
as old Ben Franklin said to the Continental
Congress after they had signed the Declare
ton of Independence. No discrimination
will be made by Gen. Grant against any
citizen of Virginia on account of birth
place. ~ eH
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1872-05-25

He General Grant contrivcd soon after
he entered upon the duties Of his office to
get the powers of king in his hands, and
he has held them ever since. He held the
authority that placed the person and the
life of every citizen at his mercy. By the
cooperation of Congress "the country abdi--
Gated the power of self-goyernment," and
the President became the arbitrary ruler of
the people.-Dispatch.
1t will never do for the Dispatch to
write history. 1t lives in an atmosphere
of prejudice as deep and viscid as the mud
in which long clam burrows. One would
suppose that it had gone back to the lilies
of the old Wing papers, which denounced
General Jackson as q usurper OF all state
and federal power, with his "sic roto, sac
jubeo," and "by the Eternal, l-do-as-l-
please" policy Of administering the gov
eminent, in order to find material for de-
nouncing General Grant. While history IS
philosophy teaching by example, the writer
of history must set the example of teach
ing it after the philosophical, and not after
the strictly partisan, method.

power of the State in accord with that of
the Federal government. 10 cast the
electoral vote of Virginia for Mr.. Greeley,
or for the nominee of the Baltimore Con-
vention, is virtually to throw it away-to
accomplish no political result, realize no
possible good by it. Both branches of
Congress would be, in the event of his |
election, in intense and bitter opposition to
him. He would be as powerless to help us
as an Arab chief Of the desert. And help |
is what we needs what we must have.
We are stricken, palsied, manned, and
lying by the wayside, robbed Of our crown
jewels. ~
Shall we act the part of Laomedon, who
in his anger at Neptune and Apollo, that
they should exact such hard price for
Troy, absurdly menaced them with loss
of their ears. The grandeur of such
piece of folly, and such defiant menace,
may crafty our vanity, but it will not lit
us to the dignity of craftsmanship, give us
back sound limbs, or restore to MS our
crown Jewels. We need not take the atti-
tude OF a suppliant or a vassal; but we
can give an exhibition of heroic manners
as well as heroic fortitude, and accomplish
by stroke of magnanimity what incor-
rigible self-will and tenacity would be ut
terly powerless to effect.
: The Presidential election may turn on
, the vote of Virginia and West Virginia, SC
called /; indeed, it is more than probable
that it will so turn. Is there not states
manship enough left us to see what advan'
tage might accrue from such "politica
situation" Our position that West Vir
5 gina is no state is an impregnable one
} No adroitness or subtlety Of logic cal
shake it. 1t was the fictitious child o
usurpation by the war power, and had NJ
= legitimate existence when the war ceased
}. At the termination of hostilities it SHOULD
have been instantly remanded by Congress
Y to its constitutional or proper territorla
status in the Union. Every hour that sll
is recognized as anything else than an II
tegral part Of Virginia, is pregnant wit
: revolutionary distemper threatens OF
le whole constitutional system with deadl
Is virus. What the attitude of this soi-di
at ant State will be towards the Federal go
re ernment, as now administered, we can q
see. 1t is already one Of defiance ar
Laomedon-like menace. What Congre
d. should have done Immediately after tt
war, it can do now--t can do before Hteeo
:, of Vnginio--the constitutional cote Of "a
gilid-is counted.
m Can Virginia gain any advantage ther
'ai fore, or expect any restoration of her co
~ stitutional rights, except by welding h
electoral vote in the way we have indicated
ho Is not the establishment of her ancie
'a' jurisdiction a sufficient stake to play for
es- the Presidential election? We put the
az questions to-day-wc shall answer the
oe hereafter. r.4s a=z

THE JURY CLAUSE OF SUMMERS
BILL.

Very general regret is expressed at the
cutting out of the jury clause from this
bill before its passage. The objection
was based on the ground of unconstltu-
tionality. An amendment will be moved
restoring this clause, by the Hon. w. Ii. H.
Stowell. and the House will, probably, in
sist upon its restoration, as we hope. II
is certainly important that colored mer
should have fair proportion of Jurors
