the pinning of our faith to any party
sleeve, or the chasing up of any Washing
ton opinion, were it forty times as potential
as the editor of the Lynchburg Republican
may imagine. On the question of the
spoliation of Virginia by the war-making
power, the disfguring of her territory, and
the partitioning up of her sovereignty, we
have had but one opinion, and have adj
vanced but one, since the war and that is,
that Congress should have remanded the
discovered territory, with the perfunctory
government organized by its authority
therein, to its proper constitutional status
in the Union, Immediately upon the termi-
nation of hostilities. This it failed to do.
But what it failed to do at the proper time,
it should do now-should do tomorrow
before adjournment-nay, it may constitu-
tionally do before the electoral vote of the
state is, counted. IF the statement Of this
proposition, and an appeal to the states
manship of Virginia to take counsel of its
wisdom rather than its folly-to play the
part of an astute politician rather than that
of Jack Pudding or cynic-is so mons
trous in its audacity, and inconcei9ably
overtopping in its infamy, as to turn the
head of the Lynchburg Republican, we
cannot help it. We are not responsible for
the looseness with which Lynchburg heads
are set on human shoulders.

ILLINOIS must look out for her laurels.
California now claims the biggest farm in
the United States, and it is located in San
Joaquin valley. The Illinois farm is in
Ford county, and comprises $4,000 acres,
10000 Of which have been planted this sea-
son to corn, the balance being under ex-
cellent tillage. The California farm con-
tains 5000 acres under one fence, and it
is said that 10000 acres of it have been
planted to wheat this year. A Sacrament
to paper says that ''this isn't anything to
brag about, to be sure, for it is this system
of land monopoly that is playing the very
deuce with California but il other places
are going to boast Of their big ranches,
California may as well have a word to say"
The farms that we want to see in Vir-
ginia are small ones that are thoroughly
cultivated, and that "pay." Eighty-three
thousand acres, with five hundred farm
houses, twice as many barns, and thriv-
ing little village on the outskirts or in its
center, is what makes state attractive for
its population, thrift, industry, and gene
raj intelligence. In other words, the pref
tiest, neatest, best cultivated, and most
productive-per-acre farm in the state is
what we like to see. I'D.

BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press. The New York Times
says that these sketches, ''for light, airy, but
genuine delineations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day." The Boston Transcript says that 'for
delicacy of tonch, quaint sentiment, and quiet
humor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best of
things in their way, The Nation thinks that
BACKLOG STUDIES No. III ''renews and
increases the evidence given in his previous pei

the N Y Mail says it is the chest thing he has
written, and the best thing in its way any
American or English magazine has had for many

4 FALSEHOOD NAILED.

We see the statement going the rounds
of the opposition press that Gen. Grant is
endeavoring to secure the extension Of the
suspension clause of the ku-klux act to en-
able him to control the electoral vote of the
southern states. We are authorized to de-
nounce this statement as an unqualified
falsehood. Gen. Grant has never requested
any member of either branch of Congress
to continue the suspension of the habeas
corpus at the will of the President. The
whole story is a baseless fabrication, in
vented to prejudice him in the minds of the
people. 1t is part of that cruel, unrea-
sonable and wicked conspiracy to create a
feeling of suspicion and hostility against
man who, of all others, has always been
scrupulously careful to use no doubtful
powers, and to use with moderation such
as were clearly conferred by the law.
The man who calls Grant tyrant and
usurper, is either too ignorant to reason or
too prejudiced to see the truth, or is utterly
reckless in his statements. From Appo-
IildttoA W 1uho uay VIC ugly VIC "hoiC opPo-
sition to point to single instance in which
the President has shown a vindctive spirit
towards the South. In his conversations,
his messages, and ia all his acts he has uni
formly shown warm interest in the welfare
of the Southern people. ID .
No act of kindness has been more sub
stantial than his vigorous enforcement of
the ku-klux law. In breaking up those
dens of midnight murderers and ruffians he
has entitled himself to the lasting gratitude
of the whole south. Let the bomb proof
warriors who denounce Grant ask those
who met him on the battle field, and who
accepted the honorable terms of peace
which he gave them, when the fortunes OF
war turned against them ask any one ol
these war-worn soldiers if they are afraid
to trust General Grant for fear he will
abuse his powers? They will laugh at it
as the invention of demagogues to catch
votes. The people of the south know how
entirely false this statement is, and a re-ac-
ton will sooner or later come in favor Of a
man who, cruelty belied and slandered, is
faithful to the laws and the interests of the
whole people. ..r

No MAN has better or truer apprecia-
tion of the real estimation in which he is
held by his lifelong political opponents,
than Horace Greeley. Whatever other
estimate he may have of himself, there is
no error in his computation of this. Both
he and his Democratic opponents have
dealt too earnest and vigorous blows to be
mistaken in their estimate of each other, or
the estimate in which each may hold the
other. They can neither of them be de-
ceiyed on either of these heads. Socrates
could not have been more positive when
pitted against the famous atheist of Ionia,
than Mr.. Greeley must be in bringing his
Democratic opponents to contradiction in
terms. He knows them, if possible, even
better than he knows himself. He may
succeed in exaggerating his own defects,
but it is not possible that he should exag-
gerate the opinions and views of the De-
mocracy. When, therefore, he delivered
his address, last autumn, before the Trum-
bull County (OhiQ) Agricultural Society,
anu t.Seu ltlc luiloHiIo laASuaSo, ho Souiu
not have placed false estimate upon the
views and feelings Of his political opponents:
saw, the other day, suggestion that
| would probably be the best Democratic
candidate to run against General Grant for
President. thought that about the most
absurd thing l euer heard OF read. If the
Democratic party were called upon to de-
eide between Grant and myself, | know
that their regard for what they must call
principle Dould induce nine-tenths Of then,
to vote against me. Why? I am a decided
enemy Of that party, eoen IN its most respec-
table aspects."
1t is not yet a year-scarcely more than
nine months, in fact--since Mr.. Greeley
held this most emphatic language; and every
word of it is as true as gospel preaching.
He believed it to be true then; he can
scarcely believe it to be less true now.
The logic of Mr.. Greeley's political ad-
mirers in this sectien must be great indeed,
to get him out of the sophistry of exaggera-
ton he INDUCED in only a few months ago
or their faith must be such as to remove
mountains, when they count on the Demo-
cratic support necessary to secure his
election. a..... ........ ....... .....

THE Democratic newspapers object to
the ratification of the new article to the
Alabama claims treaty. Rather than that
Grant should have the credit of putting our
foreign relations on permanent peace
footing they will prefer to involve the
country in war and pile up the national
debt to the point of reputation. Anything
