Members Of the Legislature.

We heartily reccho the appeal OF con-
temporary already published by us In behalf
of the best men for the Legislature. we we
trust that the Conservatives will bring out
the hest men in the State. The Convention
which gave us the excellent mountainous
which We all support with so much una"
nim,tv was itself composed of the repre-
sentatiycs of the best people OF Virginia.
This gives us hope that the people are fairly
aroused and mean to take the public affairs
Of Virginia in hand. II they do, we shall
have good men brought out for the Leslssa-
ture. and that will be a great blessing 10
the State.
An unfortunate political revolution has in
iec;ed into the body-politic of Virginia an
element which it is no misapplication OF
term to STYLE barbarous. and to the extent OF
is influence must the representative, the
law.naaking BODY Of the State, be impaired
in intelligence, capacity, and dignity. dc
what we may, that body must woiully eX
hiblt this fact. But unquestionably we are
more than ever called upon TO exert all our
power to guard and protect it as far as posi-
bic from the disastrous effects of this degra'
dation.
With this great motive actuatinS US, with
the awful consequences before US OF neg
lec,ing our duty in this respect, can we posi-
bly, allow apathy or indifference to overcome
u,? Never before the war was it whispered
that a member Of the Virginia Legislature
was bribed. Since that time, and since tht
barbarous element was by the force OF The
bayonet blended with our constituent body
what has been more common and more gene
rally accepted as true than the charge thai
members OF the Virginia Legislature were
bribed? Nobody denies it. Everybody be
heves 1t. And what is worse, we are power
less to reform an evil forced upon us by TIN
ruthless Government at Washington.
But we can at least see that the men w
elect shall be capable and honorable men
Let us do this. and thus restrict the loath
some disease communicated to the bOdy-pol
jtic to the district which it has got possession
Of We can thus. as far as possible, protec
the State from the spread of the terrible
gangrene which is fastened upon her b!
malice and reckIcssness.
The best men are needed in the crisis
One great triumph will give permanent re
lief from the crusade of ignorance and dis
honesty against the name, fame, honor, ane
welfare Of Virginia.
