VIRGINIA

The Old Dominion will be one of the
most interesting political battle fields of the
current year. Virginia politics, have al
ways been somewhat peculiar, and have
lost none of their popularity since the war.
Virginia held on to the Union longer than
South Carolina, but when she did con-
clude to secede, her rebellion was of a
more intense character than that of the
latter. The South Carolinians were impul-
siye. ovirginians rejoiced in kind of sui
len aristocratic air. There, negroes have
been hated with all the deep, bitter feeling

THE attempt of Charles Francis Adams
to give to Mr.. Seward two much credit for
the success of Mr.. Lincoln's administration
meets with the criticism we antiapated.
Mr.. Dana, of the New York. oStsi} Ut one
time Assistant to Mr.. Stanton in the War
Department, says in reference to this part
of the Grafton: 3.i .aSsi 4niiI,3lo 4austiy.
No doubt the Secretary oftState had his
full share in the TRANSACTIONS of that time.
He was much consulted by the President,
who was fond of his conversation and his
society but the truth Island this we say
not from reading, information or inference,
but from personal knowledge-no man was
ever more entirely the master of his own
affairs or of his own conduct than iPresi4C
dent Lincoln of the executive power iof
this Government. He was on friendly
terms with all the members of his Cabinet,
and gave them due latitude in the discharge
of their proper duties but when any one
had to yield his opinioli it was the Seere-
tary and not the President; and isljudg-1
nlent and his orders had to be followed in
every one of their departments. There
were, of course, occasional differences be-
tween him ndthem; but there never was
a day when he would not have Immediate
ly accepted the resignation of any one of
them had it been offered, and there never
was day when any one of them was reso-
lutte enough to make his resignation the
alternative of the rejection of his advice.
This we say not to lessen the Just glory of
Mr.. Seward, or any of his colleagues, but
TO state the exact truth and do justice to

THBFSupreme Court Of MASSACHUSETTS
has decided that a telegrah eompanysis not
responsible for errors in the transmission
of dispatches unless the company receives
extra pay forerepeating the same aspro-
vided for in the printed headings to ~theff
blanks. Percoatro, the Supreme Court of
Illinois has held that no such extra pay
can be exacted as guarantee of correct
transmission. The contract of the COM
pany in every case is to send the dispatch
correctly and it can not demand extra pay
for what it is bound to do for ordinary
rates. q. - 1o5' go gee
