tent'on OF censuriue the action of those hayc
'ns the matter in charge 1--WE feel inclined to
give expression ia; the almost universal regret
az the absence of the neat and tasteful, white
head and foot boards which, up to within the
psstsyear. greeted. the eye of the visitoras he
gazed upon the graves of the two hundred
and odd Confederate dead who repose in the
Western section of Edge Hill Cemetery. -
IT Is true that We have now erected one of
the largest and finest monuments of the kind
I" ne found in any of the Southern States,
and at the same time through the efficiency
and good taste of the gentlemen having the
matter in charse-have kept the graves sur
rounding 1t in neat and proper condition; but
whist there is within the monument as we'll
as N possession of the Lee Memorial ASCOT
at'on, an accurate plat and list of those in

but strangers visiting our town. both now and
for years to come, will naturally feel desire
to see at the head of each grave the meme Of
the silent sleeper who rests beneath and willis,
reading each inscription (Which will not be
done by one in thousand If comnelled to refer
+" the written record,) NAV perchance fad
there some dear aud cherished friend, of former
days, -
We believe that the principal reason for
the removal of the former head and foot
boards was'that they were of wood, and had
become considerably decayed at the bottom.
This was no doubt good cause at the time. but
the question now arising is. cannot they he re.
placed with something moe endurine? The
debt on the monument, we understand is
nearly, if not entirely liquidated Now let
the Lee Memorial Association GO to work and
take stems for the erection of plain and cheap
maHhie stones 70 each grave. There are bu.
about tw" hundred of these mounds, and we
are satisfied the object can he attained at one,
malt; the cost of the monument already erect

In hand.
We throw ont the above remarks not onlv

the wishes of large class Of our citizens. and
trnss they will he acted upon, and that speed

A TEMPERANcs, N1LLAeE. The editor of
TIE Winchester Times, writing on a recent
visit 60 Hamilton, Loudoun county. Va, says
There is one particular ia which Hamilton
differs from most other Virginia towns, and
that is its s6briety. We did not see or hear
of drop Of ardent spirits the whole time we
were there. There is no bar-room, and none
is solo at the stores. We were infur,ped that
there were only two men in the place WHO ever
took spirits and when they wanted to indulge
they had TO go to Leesburg or Purcellville for
supplies. "

In speaking of the recent proceedings in the
Legislature of Virginia: the Washington Pat
riot says that, what is necessary, is for Fir-
ginia, if she does not approve the funding bill,
to provide some substitute for that measure
that will assure her creditors and the world that
she does not intend to allow her honor to be tar
nished by the suspicion ofrepudiation; but to sus
pend the operation of that bill to which all people
had looked as guaranty that she would meet
her Indebtedness, without providing some
equally satisfactory assurance that her obliga-
tons would be met. at least to the fullest extent
of her painfully impaired ability is to leave her
liable to severe imputations.

The Washington Chronicle says:-''There
are a number of representatives ofEnglish ship
owners at present in Washington, whose pur-
pose is to defeat all legislative operations in
favor of American ship building interests.
The House Commerce Committee has been ap-
preached by these agents upon the subject,
and propositions made to allow the building Of
fifty vessels, twenty-five to be erected by the
English nation and the restby the Ameri-
can, the erection of these vessels to be used as
a test of superiority of one nation over the 9TH
er in ship building

The Washington Republican says that the
memory of Provost Parado, the French Minis
ter who committed suicide in the summer of
1870, was revived yesterday by the payment of
debts contracted by him in establishing himself
in Washington, and which he neglected to
settle before his death. He left sum of
money in the hands of the French legation,
but without power of attorney no one was
authorized to disbursed it. The Prussian war
and communist troubles prevented the Govern
ment from furnishing the power Of attorney
until within few weeks All claims against
the estate of the deceased will now be paid.
