place next week, on the 9Th inst, continu-

From the character OF the gentlemen who
are at the head of the enterprise, we have
no doubt that the drawing will be fairly and
impartially conducted. From the best in
formation we can gather on the subject, we
apprehend that about $1,000 have been
expended by the citizens of this county for
tickets in the great scheme.

A CoMMENDABLE MovE.-At tho meet

it was resolved to purchase the benches in
the Episcopal chapel, now vacated, twenty
four in number, for the use of the Town
Hall. These which are very strong and
comfortable, have been secured at very low
price and were frightfully needed in the Hall.
The Council also adopted a resolution to have
the windows IN the Hall properly repaired

out to be supplied. With proper seats and
glazing, the Hall will be "a very comfortable
and choice place for amusements and meet

Promising little and making no cxpositons
of theoretical politics, he has caught the
popular will as by instinct and labored to
interpret it in vigorous and well-timed ac-
ton. He has enforced the laws faithfully
and impartially, despite all the nonsense
of " Despotic Power, Imperialism, Centrali-
cation etc. No sensible man who is not
stepped to his eyes in prejudice believes
that he will use power improperly for polt-
cal purposes. He is simple, straight for
ward and honest. He has no whims
that interfere with the regular course
of administrative work; we know just
where to find him every time. We leave
the house and the stuff. and 60 away about
our business confident that when we return,
it will be well kept. With Grant we have
stability, security and the healthy progress
that comes of "order with liberty" With
Mr.. Greeley there is uncertainty, unsettle-
IN cnt and doubt. So this thing lies in
our mind, and we expect to see the great
body Of the business men of tie country
similarly influenced.
We cannot afford experiments just
now. The country demands rest and
quiet to heal the wounds of war and re-
store the healthy action of its vital forces
Grant will give repose and insure healthy
quiet. Greeley will unsettle the security
now felt and make us uneasy for the
future. .. .-.... .rr-..

Had the Sage Of Chappaqua been familiar
with the teaching of certain Hebrew phi
losopher he would have seen the utter hope
lessness of an attempt to serve two mas
tiers. 1t would be quite ar easy for
and the same time, as It would to subserve,
harmoniously and prosperously, the inter-
eSts of the Democrat and Liberal Republi-
can parties at one and the same time. The
American people are not yet ready to ac-
cept any political doctrine or new philoso-
ply that conflicts with the teachings of holy
writ. Sooner would they admit that the
devil is an angel OF light, than accept the as
sertion of this United philosopher, that, al
though Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, he is still true Republican.

EELEY VERSUS GRANT.

Some excellent friends of ours expostu-
lated with us upon a few kind words which
we felt it proper to say about Mr.. Greeley.
Oar friends somehow felt disturbed by
these expressions Of kindly personal feel
ing, as if possibly they might weaken the
force Of that opposition which we feel
bound to make to the election of the dis
tinguished editor of the Tribune as Presi-
dent Of the United States. BIB -Fa.
Upon that point, as matter Of policy,
we differ widely in opinion from some per-
sons engaged in politics. We want, as far
as possible, to lift politics out of the range
of personal criticism. We know there
must be some personal elements in every
canvass, where opposing pal ties are repre-
scented by candidates. But we recognize a
wide difference between the errors of opin-
ion and the absence of moral integrity.
The lack of intellectual qualities requisite
for the performance of an important public
trust. is one thing; the lack of disposition
to do right, or moral recklessness, is quite
another. We would be glad always to find
sufficient reason for opposing a candidate,
If we must oppose him, in the lack of abil-
ity or in error of Judgment, rather than
in some graver cause. We believe that
nothing is gained by falsehood and that
vigorously just treatment of opponents will
always strengthen every cause which seeks
the popular approval.
Our precise judgment of Mr.. Greeley is
given in this spirit ; we believe him honest,
but grayely mistaken. We admit bis great
ability as writer, but we do not believe
in his ability as an executive officer. Such
combinations as would be required to make
man a great editor, and a respectable
President, are rarely found combined. Mr..
Greeley with his great power, combines re-
markable weaknesses. In professional
work as an editor, they are quite subordi-
mate, and inconsequential, but as an ex-
ecutve officer they become serious and
dangerous defects of character. Mr. Gree
ley with all his admitted intelligence, is
notably vacillatipg, whimsical and credit
lous. ...-.
He is liable to be swept from his ntellec-
tual moorings by storm of sympathy or
prejudice. He is irresolute and halting
when prompt and vigorous action is requir-
ed. In great cases, he lacks the frmness and
faith which give steadiness. He has no
lack of moral purpose, but in those
great moments, when ideas are to be in
carnated into deeds he lacks the intrepidity
which constitutes the very essence of ex-
ecutive ability. We do not believe it posi-
BILE for him to fill the executive office cred
itably to himself or safely to those great
public interests which are so sensitive to
political influence. When, in addition to
these notorious defects, we add the
character of the party by which he is sup
ported and the antecedents Of his most ac-
tive friends, we see enough to place his
claims beyond consideration even by any
true Republican.
General Grant presents us with char
acter remarkably the reverse of Mr.. Gree
ley in its most essential features. He is
man of very few words, but remarkably
resolute, tenacious and intrepid in action.

OUR LOCAL INTERESTS.

Amid the excitement of the Presiden-
tial contest we must not forget the para
mount questions Of local interest. We
must not be unmindful of that great strug-
gle for bread that is going on all over the
State, and constitutes the burden of nearly
all the peoples thought, anxiety, and effort.
We are deeply interested in the ques-
tons of the Presidential canvass /; we know
how much stability, a sense of general
security, and the maintenance of public
order have to do with the prosperity of
country and we therefore desire above all
things such an issue of the Presidential
contest as shall maintain the safeguards of
person and property everywhere COM
pletely, and beyond all doubt. But this
is not all this is only the negat i've and
preliminary work of the nation, an d of the
State, as part of the nation. }"
The condition of the people must be
studied and their special needs and difficult
ties considered in any intelligent scheme of
legislation. The great need of Virginia to-
day, is that her destinies should be con-
trolled by men who are freed from the
slavery of Tradition and who have enough
manliness, independence, and sagacity to ac-
cept modern ideas and methods, by the honest
men who are wise enough to have outgrown
the foolish conceits of childhood, which
thinks that there is nothing worth having
outside the paternal roof; who are willing
to learn from the humblest teachers who,
not forgetful Of the lessons of their own ex-
perience, are sensible also of the value of
cotemporaneous events who putting the
dead past behind them, without shame for
honest errors, or without foolish pride of
consistency will address themselves bravely
t. amend mistakes, and to secure the
future and all its rich possibilities from
IS. Such men as these there are both
native and adopted citizens in all the great
political parties. ...-.-. ~.
However they may differ upon national
politics, they are one in patriotic regard
for the public interests. They are men of
progressive and enterprising spirit, of large
and liberal views, of strong common sense
in their hands the people will be safe from
plunderers. To such men the present de-
pressed and sad condition Of the State pre-
sents no occasion for Encouragement.
They know that for every evil and wrong
there is a remedy possible, and they have
the courage and indomitable spirit which
well discovers and applies the remedy.
What we want now is the union of such
men upon all local questions; such are,
questions of the public debt, of internal inn
provements, of industrial policy, and edu-
cation. Whatever aids the people to make
an easier and more bounteous living, to give
their children better education, and to
secure to them the higher privileges of ex-
| istence, should be neutral ground in poll
tics. On these questions we need local
cooperation. For ourselves we will unite
with all good men to compass these ends.
We hope to see the people everywhere come
to this position. Then we shall have new
Virginia worthy Of her old history and Of
her glorious physical resources. ~.

4 The " JOURNAL is becoming a necesi-
ty in almost every household in this COM
munity and is rapidly supplanting the New
York " Tribune" as a weekly. You may
make calculations on having your subscrip-
ton list greatly increased in this section
another year.
From all indications, we have reason to
believe that Republcanism is bound to be in
the aScendency in the Old Dominion this
fall. You cannot so perfectly disguise the
carcass of an old cT0lo, as to make it palat-
able to the intelligent citizens of Virginia !;
nor even acceptable under any circumstan-
ces. This half fish and half alligator policy
is not going to be easily crammed down
the threats Of enlightened freemen.

In conclusion, Mr. Voorhees, declared

This is the platform upon which the Lib
