FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington, Feb. 17.-The Agricultural
Convention which has been in session here
during the past three days attracts much
attention. The representation from the
South is not large, but able and influential.
The Southern representatives were
General Wade Hampton, Governor Patton.
5. G. Reed, Judge Walker, j. M. Suther,
I'm, j. F. Burns, Messrs. Barnett, Mar
cross, Nicholson, Maynard, Williams,
Bowman, Aiken, Searl, Mann. Register
Little, Bridges, Kailbrow, Mallett. Martsn
and others. Sectionalism was ignored.
The convention recommended a more
liberal appropriation to the Agricultural
Department and increased liberality to the
agricultural colleges. Minor subjects were
referred to committee, who will report Mt
the next meeting OF the convention in Feb
ruary, 1873.
The majority and minority Ku-Klux re-
ports are nearly ready. They agree that
nearly all the Southern States are an
preaching financial ruin from bad legisla-
lion and ku-klux. One report attributes
the bad legislation to the Ku-Klux. and the
other attributes the Ku-Klux to bad lecis-
lation.
The House to-day was engaged in gene
raj debate. The Senate was not in session.

LEGALITY OF INVESTMENTS IN Con-
FEDERATE BoNDs.-The decision of the
Supreme Court of Appeals in the case of
Walkers ex'ors. VS.. Page, &C., maintains
the legality of investments in Confederate
bonds made by tiduciaries during the late
war. The case referred to was an appeal
from the Circuit court of Richmond. A
bill was filed in that court to set aside a
sale made by G. w. Randolph, in May,
1868, of the lands of infants, attacking the
decree as illegal and void, and charging that
the investments made ofthe proceeds in Con-
iederate bonds not under an order previous
ly made, but sanctioned afterwards, were
not legal investments. The Circuit court
on this bill decreed that the sale was void,
and the investments bad.
The Court Of Appeals reversed the de-
cree of said Circuit court, and decided
that the courts of this Commonwealth
had the authority to make investments of
the funds under their control in Confederate
bonds is no longer an open question. 1t is
definitely settled by legal enactment, by
repeated decisions of this court recognizing
the validity of such DEGREES and invest
ments, and by the Supreme Court of the
United States"

Free Speech.

Free speech is like the angel that liber-
ated Saint Peter from his prison its mis-
sion is to 60 ever up and down the earth
and release from captivity some great
principle, some great truth, some great
idea which unjust men lock up III
their dungeons and hold fast in
their chains and for thirty years in this
nation the province of free speech was TO
educate up to a sublime idea which some
men sought to crush into the earth, but
which arose like Tennyson's flower, and
burst into the blood-red blossom of war,
with its heart of fre-an idea which
some men undertook to bind like as
with those green .withes with which
Samson was bound, but which, like
Samson, escaping from its foes, put one
arm around the pillar of the North and an
other arm around the pillar of the South
and crushed the two together with shock
heard around the world-an idea which
when some of us, loving the lib
erty of our native land, sought to
engrave it upon that flag, others
among US, enemies and traitors, pointed
their guns at the flag until dropped at Fort
Sumpter but it dropped only that it
might go to the earth, that there it might
mingle with the poor, with the despised,
with the lowly, SO that when again it
should be lifted up, behold all menshould
be lifted up with it.-1iHon.

INTERESTING CHURCH CEREMONIES.
The months memory of the late Right Rev.
Bishop John McGill will be celebrated in
the Cathedral, corner of Grace and Eighth
streets, on Wednesday next, the 2lst inst,
by grand requiem mass. The catafalgue
will occupy the usual position in front of
the altar, a black pail will take the place of
the corpse, and the Bishops mitre and
crosieur will occupy their respective places,
as in the late funeral obsequics. The inte-
rior of the church will be appropriately
draped, and the altar decorated with i'm
mortelles.
No less than twenty-four clcrgymen are

DEL; Bishop Gibbons, of North Carolina !;
and Bishop O'Hara, of Scranton, Pa. This
ceremony was to have taken place on the
l4th instant, that being the months memo
ry day, but being also Ash Wednesday, at
which time all the clergy are expected to
be at home, it was postponed one week.
All the Catholics throughout this diocese
are expected to participate in this cclebra-
ton, and no doubt many of our Protestant
citizens will take this occasion to show their
respect for the many virtues of the de-
parted prelate. ........ ........

COMMERCIAL TRAvELERS.-Th COM
mercial traveller in these parts has become
as inevitable as j. ?. r. James horseman,
who might have been SEEM wherever
that prolific novelist chose to lay the open
ing scene of his yarn. Every few days the
commercial traveller comes in conflict with
the laws of our State or city, and whether
innocently ignorant of their provisions or
not, is subjected to considerable expense
and trouble. Much as we are opposed to
existing restrictions upon commercial inter-
course between the States, these restric-
tions are lawful, though unwise enactments,
and there is no option but to enforce them
while they remain upon the statute books.
1t would be well for parties to inform
themselves concerning the requirements of
the State law as well as the city ordinance,
and to comply with those requirements be-
fore offering to sell goods by sample in
Richmond. Much trouble and expense
could thus be avoided. A gentleman from
Baltimore was arrested by Pat Woods this
morning suspected of violation of law,
and taken before Justice White. 1t was
found, however, that city license had
been obtained, and that no attempt had ac-
tually been made TO sell goods under it.
Though holding city license, he would
have been liable under the State law had he
made an attempt to sell. He was dis
missed.

from the New York Citizen, edited by Robert
IL. Roosevelt, M. c.
Gen Erant-Iiis Character and His Chances
as Seen by an independent Democratic Com
gresham.
1T is the mistaken idea of some persons
to belittlc Gen. Grants ability, to run down
his qualifications, and to underrate his
mental requirements. Instead of being the
stupid, senseless individual that these per-
sons would have the public suppose, he is
one of the shrewdest managers Of the day.
Not only as a leader in the war to which
he first gave favorable turn, but as
manipulation in politics he has shown re-
markable skill. The rebels continually
took the same view that the Democrats are
taking now, and denounced the Union gem
eral as an ignoramus every time he won a
victory over them !; and the more efiectu-
ally he crushed their armies the more clear
ly they proved that he was utterly incom-
petent as a military commander, and en-
tirely unequal to the task which he
had assumed. There are soldiers at
the South to-day who can clearly estab-
lish the fact that General Grant was the
poorest officer the world ever saw, that he
ought to have been beaten in every battle,
and that he was only saved from utter ruin
by incredible luck. So also with the Dem
ocrats they prove conclusively the Pres
ident's imbecility as a politician every time
he scatters their best laid plans for his
overthrow, and while he has so demoral-
lied his adversaries that they hardly have
a candidate against him, they insist that a
weaker politician never lived.
One of the greatest of follies is to under
rate an adversary, and necessary as the de-
feat of the Republican party is to the we'll
fare of the nation, it will never be brought
about by contemptuous revilings of its
candidate, or a failure to appreciate the
desperate nature Of the struggle which
must be won, and the resources at
the command of the great leader who
intends to be candidate. That General
Grant will fail by any contingency of a re-
there is not the remotest like
lihood; he has entire and absolute control
of the matter, and he uses his power with
a wisdom and discretion which are sure to
effect the end in view. Opposition in his
own party is practically crushed. He
never was favorite Of party chiefs, who
originally accepted him only on compulsion,
but he had hold on the people which they
dared not ignore.

FROM WASHINGTON Interesting Social
Afaa'-Ihe Tobacco 1dr.--A friend, Just
returned from Washington city, informs us
that on Friday evening last the Hon. Jas.
II. Platt, Jr., extended to the Virginia del
egation in Congress, and to visitors then in
the city from our State, a most hearty and
cordial reception at Wormley's celebrated
restaurant. The board "groaned" with all
the liquids and solids of that famous place
calculated to cheer the inner man, and the
interchange of civlities and courtesies was
characterized by cordiality and heartiness
rarely surpassed on such occasions. The
affair was elegant, hgh-toned, and very
gratifying to all who participated.
We also learn from the same gentleman
that it is the general impression among
Congressman that uniform tax of twenty
cents pound on tobacco will be adopted
before the expiration of the present scs-
sion.
