FALSE AS HELl.-This seems 70 nave
been quite la7orite expression with
the speakers in the recent Republican
conventions at Columbia. We would
politely suggest that some Of lhese par.
ties may possibly be convinced of the
t'reac: reality Of such Il place when it will
be forever too late. Upon the principle
of "thc eternal fitness Of things" We
should think the most subborn infidcl

That Monument.

Some months ago the idea was pre-
sented 10 the citizens Of this County,
that fitting tribute to the memory o1
our honore6 Confederate dead be erected
by subscription-the cost not to be toe
great, and to be in keeping with the i'm
poverished times. Some action was ia
ken upon the suggestion by few active
citizens of Pomaria, (and perhaps Of oth'
er sections, we know not to the contrary
and among the number certain Of our
noble ladies. Subsequently an appeal was
made, emanating from Pomaria, asking
for aid, and tina. meeting be called to
push the matter TO a successful issue.
Nothing has been done since then. how
ever, and we are reminded once more ol
the duty we owe not only to the noble
fathers, husbands, brothers and sons who
fell in that lost cause, but TO ourselves
who survive. A monument should DC
erected to perpetuate their memory
An excuse may be offered for the want
of action, during the past Spring and
Summer, in that nearly all business vas
broken up, and no man felt like contrlou-
ting to any cause, however good it may
have been, but that should not be felt rs
an excuse now. Business is beginning
to revive, we have the prospect of boun-
tiful crops, and money will not be quite
so scarce as it has been. Then, too, we
consider that it is not proposed to erect
an elaborate, or costly shaft, but rather
q neat, substantial and cheap one, the
whole to cos, only bout$l 900. Surely
this sum can be quickly raised. Three
or four hundred Of it has been already
promised by pomaria, through Capt.
Dickert. The call alluded to was signed
by number of sympathizing, warm.
hearted ladies, and We suggest, in the
absence Of meeting, although one is
very essential, that the ladies take con-
troll of this worthy enterprise, and rest
not until the amount necessary is raised
oy individual subscriptions. Right here
We see the necessity Of a meeting, that
suitable persons ray be appointed to act
as Secretaries, and Treasurers in each
precinct of the County. This town
should take an active part in it, for the
reason especially, that the monument
will BE erected somewhere in its limits.
Let US hear from some one right away.
Since putting the above in type, tie
communication signed y. Y. Z. has been
received. We gladly give it place
for it is pointed and esruest, and will, we
have no doubt, awaken response. The
writer is mistaken, however, in think
ing that non.action on the part Of New
berry village arose from the reason men
toned, viz: because the call emanated
from Pomaria. Oh, no are wc not flesh
of one flesh? The troubles-X. Y. T.,
the troubles--this is the reason. We
hope the ladies' will call meeting.

THE Senate yesterday laid the House
resolution for prolonging the session of the
General Assembly upon the table. But
that body will see the necessity of extend
ing the time in accordance with the House
resolution, as it will be impossible for them
to properly dispose Of the business now
before the two houses in the few remain
ing days. time limited by the constitu-
ton. Much of the valuable time of
the session has been wasted, and worse
than wasted, on the last years fund
ing bill. That iniquity still stands
upon the statute books Of the State,
and will continue to stand there, unless
some more efficient action is taken to rem
edy the evil. The funding process, we are
assured, is still going on under that infa-
nous bill, and all that has been done is to
stop the payment Of the January interest,
and that is due, not to the action Of the
General Assembly, but to the legal opinion
given by the Attorney General. Even the
coupon clause" has not been eifectually
touched by any law yet passed. The ses-
sion will have to be prolonged to meet the
exigencies of legislation on this subject, ii
on no other.

MILL not the General Assembly look
after one very important little interest, as
affecting Virginia landowners, at this time?
We refer to the matter Of g recorded judg-
ments." An amendment Of the Code is
imperatively demanded in reference to
them. AS the law is now, a Judgment en-
tered of record in one county is a lien upon
real estate in every other county in the
State for one year after such entry. This
presents one of the greatest drawbacks to
giving perfect and satisfactory title to
land, and operates as an eifectual bar
against sales. No such judgment
should be lien in any other
county than the one where it is entered, un-
less transcript be filed, within certain
specified time, in the county where it is
sought to be made a lien. There is
scarcely State in the Union where this is
not made the law by statutory enactment,
and every man must see the importance of
such an enactment here.

THE repeal of the duties on tea and cof-
fee will cut off the national revenue to the
amount of about nineteen millions Of del
lars. This will be a small fraction in value
as compared with the immense advantages
it will confer upon the poorer classes-the
great laboring masses or producers OF
wealth to the country-and can be made
up in the greater increase of wealth real
ICED from the stimulated industry of these
classes. Unfortunately, the revenue re-
formers and free-traders make up major
ity of the Committee of Ways and Means,
and they are now quarrelling over duties
on other articles, especially on pig-iron,
which they are trying to get down to five
or six dollar duty. But with the present
composition of the two branches of Con-
gress, and the soundness of the Presidents
views on this subject, there is no danger
that the iron industry Of the country viii
be sacrificed, whatever may be the action OF
the Ways and Means Committee in the
premises.

any sagacious and far-seeing man could
suggest as possible under the circumstances.
The people of the States which had been in
bloody instruction for four years, were
brought to the point Of treating with the
party which had suppressed that insurrec-
ton, or, il our neighbor desires us to put
it more finely to a point, with the party
which was in power when the instruction
was suppressed and during the time in
which it was suppressed.
Now, what was manifestly the duty of
the South under these circumstances +?
What should sound wisdom and true states
manship have dictated? Why, any man
having wit enough to half comprehend the
situation, would have said at once: "Wo
must treat with the party in power and
make the best terms we can possibly get
from it. That party represents the govern
ment which we Intellectually tried to throw
off, and we must treat with it, if we treat
at ALL" This was the view that such men
as Wade Hampton took of the situation.
But he and others equally brave and noble
| with him had no sooner taken this view of
the political situation than the whole Demo-
cratic press of the South teemed with
denunciation of his course, and demanded
another and altogether different policy.
They the late insurrectionary States)
were not to treat with the Repub-
lican party at all, but wheel into
line with the Democrats of the
North, overthrow the party in power, and
then make their own terms with their for
mer friends and allies. This was the atti-
tude in which the South stood to the party
in power, and it was one as defiantly taken
as any position it had assumed during the
four years in which blood and carnage had
run riot on more than hundred battle
fields. Was it in human nature for the
Republican party to treat with such a
"suppliant' on any other terms than those
which should be more or less exacting !

States District Court in Cincinnati, in a
case where an action of trover was brought
for the recovery of the value of large
amount of cotton seized by the Confederate
forces in Tennessee during the war, and
sold to the defendant. The Court decided
that the Confederacy had no legal rights in,
regard to property that the United States
were bound to respect. Belligerent rights
were conceded in the interest of humanity >
for the care of the dead and wounded, and
for exchange of prisoners, but they did not
go so far as to recognize the legal existence
of that government, or the right to seize
and hold or appropriate the private pro-
perty of non-combatants. Verdict was
entered for the full amount claimed by
plaintiff. The decision is important as
covering large number of similar cases

We do not "mean to be understood as
saying" what the South or any portion of
it will do, in the event of war with Eng
land. The point we make is on the folly
of the rulers at Washington, whose harsh
and cruel treatment of the South has rem
dered the course Of the South subject of
doubt to the Administration. II its policy
had been one Of generosity and humanity,
no question could have risen.- Wing.
Now, we think the Whig will see that
the question it raises is a two-sded one,
and that no comprehensive grasp of the
situation, as presented in its paragraph,
can be had from purely one-sided stand
point. Let us go back little in the sur
vey of this unfortunate situation which our
contemporary complains of. When the
war closed the Republican party was in
power. 1t represented the government in
all its branches Of administrative duty and
obligation TO the one great people compris-
ing the then answered and unbroken union
Of States. To this party the South had tc
look for the terms on which it was to
be rehabiitated, and under which it was tc
