i, Some Suggestions to Parents.

La an article under the above caption, the
New York World says: ''Those persons are
under a complete delusion who. think that ex-
treme indulgence will make their children hap
py or cause them to love them the more The
reverse is the case. A spoilt child never res
poets his parents and is as great nuisance to
himself as to his neighbors. What we especial
y note as a defect in the manners Of our young
people is an absence of graciousness- of demean,
Or. This is very much a matter of education,
still more of example. A mother who both by
principle and practice inculcates graceful and
gracious manner is very likely to see.it repro
duced 10 her daughter. This is obvious from
the happy manner which we see in certain
families, and which, though to; some extent a
gift, can be largely acquired by those who have
been taught early i'.=-1s. g e.'' ea
People who think that all this doesn't mat
ter" show great want of knowledge Of the
world. To look at it from its lowest point Of
view, we believe, with the late Lord Lytton. that
manner will do more for you than anything
except money" Even the toughest, hardest,
crustest of churs is not insensible to its soften
ing influence ,,ea..e;s, 80 ~. s'iegees' .es'

If there is Virginian contemplating for
moment the support OF Hughes, let him r, feet
upon what would have been the. coDdition of
Virginia to-day had Hughes and W els succeed
ed in their scheme in SO Of putting this State
under the heel of the negro and carpet Dagger.
The Underwood constitution contained clauses
that would not only have disfranchised every
fee but also from voting. Hughes and Wells
advocated its adoption by the combined negro
and carpet-bag vote without alteration or au end
ment. Imagination can scarcely conceive the
horrors ofthe condition o, our people if their
internal purposes had not been defeated The
white population would have been driven into
exile and Virginia reduced to the condition of
an African Jungle The Virginia people by
combined effort aeerted that awful fate in 80.

tempt. Let US be ready for the conflict. Var

The announcement that Colonel Beard, a.
prominent Radical, would give the reasons why
he could not support Col. Hughes for the Gov
ernorshp. had the effect to crowd Dudley Hall
last evening with curious and interested au-
dience. Indeed the Republican reporter was
scarcely able to obtain standing room, which is
our apology for the brief mention of Colonel
Boards address. The audience was larger than
any drawn out by either party during the Pres.
idential campaign last fall, and included the
leadidg white and colored Radicals of the city,
who we hope will proft by the truths to which
they seemed attentive listeners Col Beard is
4 pleasant speaker, and for nearly two hours
kept his large audience in a good humor, while
he discussed the political situation. lie show
ed conclusively that the negroes were not emit
tled to the Republican party for their freedom,
and demonstrated the fact that they were only
given the right to vote that Mr.. Andrew John
son might be defeated and Inundated, and the
control of the Southern States secured to the
Radical party, the carpet baggers all the while
taking care to secure the places of emolumeuf.
Col. Beard instituted comparison between
Hughes and Kemper, and declared his iDten-
ton to vote for the secessonist who fought for
his principles rather than fer the secessionist
who occupied bomb-proof during the war. =
/ The speaker was frequently interrupted dur
ing the delivery of bis, speech. with hearty
rounds of applause, many of his hits at his late
Radical associates being palpable The CoIonel
