Lggett of the OIL Commonwealth, has a
happy faculty Of outing off the heads of his
political opponents with ia golden axe" No
expert In surgery ever handled his instru
ments Of Incl ion more dexterously, or inhic-
ted less pain in his professional operations
He takes up the personel of the Republican
party and criticises its representatives with
such delicate regard to the gentlemen them
selves, and keen satire as to them in party
sense, that even the objects of his illusions,
cannot fail to realize a sense of pleasure at
the scientific manner in which they are faycd
His knives are sharp. the wheel perfectly
oiled, and the evolutions SO rapid, that eff
goes the head, with no other than fitting
singing sensation.
While this is Liggett's style as to men, in
dicating that he himself is a gentleman, and
therefore disdains coarse personal abuse, he is
unmercirul and we think extravagaut, IN his
presentation of political issues. But we know
he is honest, aud however much We NAV diff
fer with him in some of his views, we cannot
refrain from the expression of the belief that
he is the abest editor now in the State of Vir-
ginia.

In passing sentence upon negro in
Georgetown, D. G. last week, for killing his
wife because she had lived with another man
during the war, Judge Humphrey said, "that
if all the women North and South who lived
with persons other than their husbands du-
ring the war were to be killed, the number
slain would exceed the number slain in the
war;"
This is vile SANDER upon the married w.

should be cause for the impeachment of this

The Acquittal of Mrs. LLOYD,

Mrs. Lloyd, charged with poisoning her
four little children. causing heir death, has
been acquitted. The trial came off in the
Circuit Court of Loudon county, aud was
closed last week. The jury, after patient
hearing of the evidence and argument, retired
for about 20 minutes, and returned with a
verdict. of not guilty. The Judge stated that
the verdict was in accordance with the evil
dence, and the prisoner was discharged.
There are two facts connected with this tria
which confronted The jury, that must mel
cessarily have controlled their dec;sio.. If
none other. First, the conflicting views Of the
chemical experts. 1t appeared from the ev-
idence that the family physician had admin
istered bismuth in treating the children, at
different times. An analysis Of the drug
MADE 1t evident to at least two of the experts
that there was arsenic in the bismuth. Nheth-
er in general this is an ingredient of bismuth
has not been determined II was purchased
by the Leesburg druggist of a Baltimore
house, and manufactured in Philadelphia.
Further experiments are to be made with the
article, and the result published Tx experts
themselves and druggists gsasrally are very
much interested ip tne experiments, as it will
nave determining effect in the use of the
article hereafter. These conflicting opinions
of the experts, presented grounds for serious
doubts as to the wilful administering ofarse.
mic by the mother, the benefit of which the
law allowed her.
Another very strong reason Of prcsumptive
innocence, was tile absence of motive
Mrs. Lloyd was an exceedingly affectionate
mother. She was scrupulousy careful of her
childrcn-dressed them neatly, and nantes
ted all the tenderness and devotion for them
peculiar to kind mothers. These facts were
inconsistent with guilt. The only theory
upon which the presumption of guilt, in the
overt act, could have been reasonably main
tanned, must necessarily have been insanity.
The poisoning Of her innocent little children,
to whom she seemed passionately attached,
was so unnatural-in such violent contra
dlctlOn OF motherly instincts-as to estab-
llsh, without further investigation, her in
sanity.
DOUBTLESS these conclusions were presen ted
to the mind of the jury, which was the
r. 4
foundation Of the prompt verdict Of acquit-
tai. We think the rejecting portion of the
community will fully accord, in their judy
ment, with the determination of the iury.
Indeed, the instinct with mothers is SO
strong to protect and care for their offspring,
that we do not believe we could bring our
mind to verdict of guilty, when SO unnatu-
raj crime was charged. The very fact of
the commission Of such deed would argue
that the accused was not of sane mind, and
more suitably a subject for lunatic asylum
than the gallows or penitentiary.
The case was ably argued for the Com
monWcalth and defense Powell Harrison,
Esq, formerly Of this city, was one of the
counsel, and made fine argument
in the case.

THE RESULT.

we give under cur editorial head as many
OF the returns as have been received up to the
time OF closing our forms. The indications
are that the Republicans have carried nearly
every State in the Union. Mary and has vo-
Ted for Greeley BY largely decreased major
lty. 1t will be impossible to give anything
like satisfactory report Of the vote in Vir-
GINA for some days yet, if the vote is close,
as it would appear from tho few returns we
have, it is.
We are satisfied Greeley will not carry over
four States, if that many This is the pre-
dlctlon we made six weeks ago. The result
shows that VIC have not attempted to mislead
our readers--that every prediction we made
or opinion expressed has been more than ye.i-
fed. The views to which We have given ut
terance. were the result of calm, dspassionate
unimpassioped reflection, but they were mis-
interpreted by many, and that misinterpreta
ton accompanied by harsh and uncharitable
conclusions as toour motive. Now, we trust,
there will be enough of candor, enough Of
manliness in those who have shown this par
tizan feeling against us, to acknowledge that
we were right.
We believe, now as firmly as we could be-
lieve anything in the future, that the result
Of last Tuesdays election, will be for che good
of Virginia and the South, and that better
feeling will grow out Of it eventually, than if
different conclusion had been arrived at by
the popular voice.
| We see in it stability to our financial inte-
rests as nation--the ADVANCEMENT Of the
true interests of labor, peace at home and
abroad, and the utter mpracticability Of con-
tinuipg to cultivate and nourish sectional
feeling.
1 One thing is certain, we shall labor with
all the might that is in US to secure to the
people of,Virginia all the advantage that it is
possible to obtain from the situation. We
will be in a position to at least contribute a
mite to that end, aud we shall do SO with the
same earnestness. and energy that We have op-
posed the election Of Mr.. Greeley.
