THE LATE ELECTIONS.

Because the party in power has been
reminded by the people in the recent cleo.
tons that they are growing too extrava.
CANT and presumptive, the Democracy all
over the country, and particularly In West
Virginia, have concluded that the Repub'
| lican party has gone by the board. While
| admit that We have been pretty badly
routed In the elections referred 10, do
NOT for moment presume that the dead
carcass of the Democratic party will
thereby be resurrected. That 10 impossi-
ble. In opinion the Democratic party
as such will never again control the reins
Of Government In these United States. 1t
will have to undergo o general dlssolu-
ton, and be purified from its wrongs that
arc as old as the name OF the party. The
Republican party may pass from power
and die, but the Democratic party will
have preceded II to It's own long and T.
nal rest
The recent Democratic victories
teach our party the lesson that
there is too much extravaganza In the
administration oi the Government; that
the people are are dissatis1ed over the
Credit Mobilier swindle, and further, that
they are enemies to the salary grab and
salary erabbers. The handwriting u
written on the wall, and he who hath eyes
let him see, that he may act accordingly
The men as well as parties have been
spotted in these svindies. They are toe
dead to ever be resurrected, but the Re-
publican party still lives. II will submit
to the demands Of the people and correct
It's errorS, and promise better things iol
the future.
l am alone responsible for what l write
and assert that the Republican party d
/ infested with thieves on every hand, but
the history Of the past will sustain me II
the assertion that the Democratic party
has two to our one. The Republican
party has erred, and stolen cords o
money, but the Democratic party ha!

that Senator Pomeroy is lying dangerous y i'll

his room. He has reconsidered his deterlni-
nation to make public statement concerning

Many of the best men in the Southern States,
says the New Orleans Picayune, are Northern
men-men born 10 New Eugland-in Massachu-
sets. Many Northern men have come to the
South, before and since the war, to do business
and find homes. And those who come with such
views will seldom fail to be appreciated and to
receive the welcome and the position to which
they are entitled. The people of the South are
DESTROYS of having as many settlers as possible
of this description The Petersburg Appeal
says: with these sentiments we entirely
agree No fact is better established in the
history of these Southern States, than that the
man of character who emigrated from the
North to the South, has in all cases been re-
ceived according to his individual merits. No
people on earth are quicker to recognize or
more ready to reward merit, by whomsoevcr
displayed, than the people of the South. And
we feel safe in asserting that both prior to and
since the war, no people were ever more ready
to extend the hand of welcome and friendship
to any man who might come amongst them
with honest intentions, either as a visitor or Il
settler.

1t is said that startling fraud has been dis
covered in the Office of the Auditor of Kansas.
The AUDITOR registry of lands was discovered
to contain 500, 900 10 bonds purporting to have
been issued by the cities of Gregory, Cloud,
and Budlong, in Cherokee county, Kansas, to
the Memphis, Carthage, and Northwestern
Railroad Company. There are no such places in
Cherokee county, nor in Kansas, and the bonds
arc evidently bogus. The names of the cities
given are names of prominent citizens of
Carthage, Mo- 1t is supposed that an attempt
has been or is now making to negotiate the
binds 10 Eastern markets.

FRIDAY. JANUARY 81, 1873.

MoNr1cELLo.-In the Court Of Appeals of
Va, on "Wednesday, in the case of the Com
monwealth rs. Levy, Judge Moncure deliver
ed the opinion Of the court. The case is in
relation to the will of Com. Levy and the de-
wise of Monticello to the State for the pur
pose Of establishing an Agricultural school. A
full history of the case was recently published
in this paper. The construction Of the will has
been passed upon by the Supreme Court OF New
York, and it was there decided that the prop
erty, consisting of real and personal estate in
New York, and real estate 10 Virginia, which
was devised for the establishment Of and the
carrying on the school was void, ana that court
gave the property to the heirs at law Of Com
modore Levy. 10 consequence of that decision,
our court decides that the invalidity of the de-
wise is in all its parts res ac5udtcata. The
judgment of the court below is affirmed and
Monticello goes to Levy's heirs.
