official action, and will cordially CO.
operate in every measure of his admin
istration which may be beneficent in
its design, and calculated to promote
the welfare of the people and to culti-
vate'sentiments of good will between
the Union.
Fourth, That the interests of large
section of this Union, no less than
those of Virginia, demand the speedy
enlargement and completion of the
great James River and Kanawha wa
ter line that should connect the wa
tiers of the Ohio with those of the Ches-
apeake, affording to the teeming pops
ulation of the West cheap transporta-
ton of their products to the point of
of shipment and marts of trade in the
East. The completion by the govern
ment of this great design of George
Washington would be an additional
bond of union between the commu-
mites whose products and commo-
dities would pass over the line of the
great national work.
Fifth. We recognize as funda-
mental political truth, that upon the
intelligence and virtues of its people
must rest the prosperity, and powers
pre-eminence of State. We point
with pride to the successful establish
ment and progress of the free school
system of Virginia, inaugurated and
conducted under circumstances of pc
culiar difficulty. for which we are
indebted to the wisdom and zeal of a
Conservative State government. Lib
eral provision ought to be continued
for the support and retention of the
free schools for the white and colored
races respectively.
The resolutions were considered
seriatim.
General Early objected to the reso-
luton relative to James River and
Kanawha Canal, as he thought it
matter in the interest of the Great
West and entirely beyond the control
of the United States Government.
The report and resolutions of the
committee were carried almost unani-
mously, only one vote being castin the
negative.

PLAIN WORDS.

Iudoe Ould has raised question
rs 70 the eligibility of Col. Hughes,
claiming that the new constitution
merely extends the anti-duelhng
clause of the old one, leaving no
neriod of time when the crime OF
the duelist was tolerated by our orr
panic law. The duel between
Hughes and Cameron was fought
prior to the Walker election, which
is the date of the adoption of the
new Constitution. We think the
matter not worth debate. The
people of Virginia will defeat MIR.
Hughes by a vote which will as
tonish him. There is no more
doubt about it than if it had al
ready been done. The Ccnserva-
tive party is at perfect peace with
all of its component parts. The
people who compose it know per
fectly well that the triumph of Col
Hughes will be a revolution: that
it means the transfer Of power to
the negroes: that it means the
practical Acknowledgement Of the
white people that the good old
State will then become roOst up
pom which vii. come and sit all the
negroes and carpet-baggars who
are unsatiated elsewhere that it
would transfer to them the patro-
mage Of the State and the possession
of our railroads that it would
turn over to them the schools of
the state by enforcing the mixed
school system: that our hotels and
sleeping cars would be practically
abolished: that those who pay the
taxes could no longer appropriate
the money, but that the non-tax-
paying negroes of the State, intox-
icated by the possession and con-
troll of a fund which would dazzle
and tempt them would soon ruin
and gut the treasury of the com
monwealth, and paralyze every in
dustry in it.

THE Knoxville Chronicle says,
''The Virginians, after the coming
election, are likely to see Hughes
in the Gubernational chair of that
State, as we'll as hues in the rain

LEE AND DAVIS IN MARBLE.

EX-President Davis has been sit
ting in Richmond for measurement
by Valentine the Sculptor, who has
been engaged to furnish statue of
the celebrated Confederate leader
Mr.. Davis was permitted to view
the artists recumbent statue of
Gen Lee, designed for the grave of
the great confederate general. His
admiration of thes plendid triumph
OF Valentine is said to have been al
most unbounded. The attitude of
perfectIepOse particularly attracted
his attention. Bending over the
figure of the immortal soldier he
declared that he almost felt as if in
his actual presence. The features and
the grand expression were there.
The immortal spirit had gone into
the loftier life above.

walton Of the Commonwealth, which
they both love better than their lives.
as they have proven on a score of
bloody fields, there is no connection
between them. That is enough and
they will together fight for old Vir-
gaia to the death. Whatever of diff
ference there may have been between
this journal and General Malone, we
say squarely thai we are always pre-
pared to give him full credit for his
splendid services to the State, and ,
stand by him against any such assail-
ant of the editor of the Washington
National Republican.
LAS to the reflections upon our stan
dard-bearer, General Kemper. in the
eyes of Virginians, they require no
comment. They will be accepted for
what they are worth, and they are
worth nothing. Without fear and
without reprOach, he stands before the
country in the exact attitude witch will
command for him every Conservative
vote in the Commonwealth of Virginia
and which will destroy the last yes
tige of Radical aspirations within its
limits"

The Platform OF the COnSerVa-
tive PARTY.

We, the representatives of the Conser-
vative people of Virginia, in Conven-
ton assembled do declare
First. That a contrast of the con-
dition of Virginia under Conservative
government with the condition of
those Southern States which have been
under T.adical rule. illustrates the
wisdom of the people of Virginia in
the adoption of their plan of State
policy, and demonstrates the necessity
of continuing the powers of the State
in the control of the Conservative peo-
pie of this Commonwealth.
Second. That the chief purpose of
the Conservative party of Virginia is to
secure to every citizen of this Com
monwealth, whether native or adopted;
of the white or colored race, exact and
impartial justice, and to promote by
wise and beneficient legislation, the
prosperity of our whole people.
Third. That the Conservative party
of Virginia, disclaiming all purposes of

How Betsey and L Made Bp.

Then Betsey she got her specs from of the maltel-
shelf,
And read the article over quite slowly to herself
Read it by little and little for her eyes is gettin
old,
And lawyers writin' amt no print, especially
when it's cold.
And after she'd read little, she gave my arm a
touch
And kindly said she was afraid 1 was 'lowin' her
too much.
But when she was through. she went for me, her
face streamin' with tears,
And kissed me for the first time in over twenty
years
l don't know what you'll think, sir, didn't come
to enquire,
But picked up that agreement and stuffed it in
the fire
And told her we'd bury the Ratchet along side of
that cow,
And we struck an agreement never to have another
row.
And told her in the future wouldn't speak cross
or rash
lfhaf The crockery in the house was broken all to
smash.
And she said in regards to heaven, we'd thy and
learn its worth.
BY startin' branch establishment and runnin' it
here on earth
And we sat talkin' three quarters Of the night
And opened our hearts to each other until they
both grew light;
And the days when was winnin' her away from
many men,
Was nothin' to that evenin' l courted her over
again.

that the cholera, now prevailing in
this and other sections of our cOun-

and that chlorine in some one of its

the proper antidote or remedy; an
opinion which, am happy to state,

ion as to its authorship has been going
on for months. 1t seems now settled
that it was written by Will L. Garlic

happy hits which are fruitful of noto-

The Washington Republican
Candidate.

Referring to the malignant and sour.
rilous article which recently appeared
in the National Republican, charging
that our Convention was widely intlu-
enced in its nominations by Gen. Ma
hone, and to which we referred recen
tly, the Petersburg Hider and appeal
says
at is true that Gen. Malone pre-
ferred and supported Gen. Kemper.
He had a right so to do F.; and the Re
publican has no business to interfere
with the exercise of q citizens ire,
choice. And we are glad 10 know
that the petty past differences, which
are now believed 20 have been the sole
cause of his opposing the nomination
of Colonel Withers, have been happily
adjusted.
with this preface We now proceed
TO reply to the Repu6H5dR. And, IN
the ti-st place. we would inquire what
business has the editor of a Shacknas-
ty organ in Washington with Virginia
politics What has he TO do with
Gen. Malone? Suppose that Gen.
and carried it in his breaches pocket,
what matters it to this meddling in
dividual? He had better be looking
to the interests of the poor little ten
mile square, which has been for years
the prey of Radical thieves and jobbers
such as he Yet, like all other puri-
tantical pretenders, he delights in in
termenddling with the affairs of his
neighbors, and in preaching lis views
for the reformation of his betters.
though his own house may be a den of
corruption.
1--WE, therefore, here and now pro-
nounce the quotation above cited from
the Republican, a gross misrepresen
tation.
General Malone and General KEN
per are both gentlemen, and the editor
of the Republican is unworthy to take
the name CT either upon his lips. And
