Now, from the foundation OF the Government up
to this decade, senators were elected at whateyer
time the Legislature chose-sometmes one
than twelve months before the 4th OF March on
which their term commenced
Yes, but always by the Legislature
elected for that purpose, or the one next
preceding the time when vacancy is to
occur. In that case, it is the people speak
ing through their authorized agents, elect
ing senators, judges, etc., as of their own
voice, delegated to their immediate repre-
sentatives in the General. Assembly
to speak authoritatively in their stead.
But the people of Virginia never dele
gated any such voice to the General
Assembly of 1918, as that
which they have used in speaking the
county court judges into life. They were
elected for no such purpose, and were
delegated with no such authority. They
have taken snap judgment on the people,
and, in taking it, have extended the next
General Assembly beyond the time in
which it can discharge the high duties con-
stitutionaily required OF it. In this, their
action has been revolutionary, and subver-
sive, in principle, of all stability in govern.
ment. The Legislature is selected bien-
nially," and that elected in November
1871, will be as consttutionally dead in
November, 1873, as the party which backs
its rascality is politically dead now. VIVA,
Legislature, then, is to count the next gu.
bernatorial vote before the first day Of
January, 1874? ~. /.

party in whose interests he is laboring, as
far as his Judgment and abilities will aI-
init and if he is convinced that his own
individual advancement, OF that of any
other member of his party, stands in tie
way of assured success, it is his duty 10
get ont of the way, and demand that otl.-
ers shall do the same, in order to secure
triumph Of sound principles and true
policy in the administration of public
affairs. The time has come in Virginia
when this can be done. II we can secure
the proper nominating conventions in the
state by opening the door to all men, no
matter what their former party relations
may have been, acho now openly and aroac-
edly declare II TO be their resolution to qive
the administration of President Grant a
candid and manly support, we shall have no
difficulty in achieving a triumph of sub
stantial and enduring benefit to the state.
By making this the sole test of party
recognition, it will be easy to secure men
of experience, ability, and tried statesman
l
ship in all the departments of our state
government and, with such ticket in
the field against the party that has been
weighed in the balances and found want
ing" victory will be thoroughly assured in
advance. Let the call for state nominating
convention be accompanied by no uncertain
sound, but let it open the door widely
for the class of persons we have named
and the public mind will spontaneously
direct itself to the men and the principles we
may all proudly advocate. Let the Repub-
lican party lift itself to its ownproper level,
above the low plane of the demagogue,
and, by intelligent action and we'll consid-
cred policy, move on to certain triumph.
1t will then draw to it the men of sub.
stance, enterprise, intelligence, and true
worth in all parts of the state. To accom-
plish this result should be the fixed aim Of
the party, and all personal considerations
and individual advancements should give
placeto so paramount and desirable an end.

men in the salary line. Having raised
the Governors salary from $4,000 to
$4,000 they passed bill last week
raising their own from $1,000 (all
they expected to get when elected }
to 1900.
We hope the Constitutional Con-
vention will SO amend that instrument
us to prohibit the raising of any off,
GERS salary during the term for which
he was elected. This raising of sala-
ries is as Infamous as buying q scat
in the United States Senate or any
other legislative body, and ison q par
with the Credit Mobilier business. 1t
is simply man bribing himself, and
should be prevented by the Constitu-
tion

Good .ItsfkOrffu.

The Huntingdon Globe, one Of the
Radical organs of Huntingdon coun-
ty, partially admits the depravity Of
its party leaders in this State when it
states that United States Senator John
Scott "not only uniformly favors with
office and position those whom he has
unrighteously saved from the peniten-
tiary, but the great mass Of his ap-
pointments, that were worth seeking
for, have been filled with the most no
toriously lewd characters known to
Huntingdon county: Usually people
often do not like to say what they
know, but everybody knows the above
to be true. 1t will soon become our
duty to provo this fact openly. Look
at the character Of the men Scott has
appointed to all the fat offices, and see
for yourself whether he is not acting
the hypocrite, when he talks of good
moral character being the principal
recommendation for Office"
The editor in question, writes as
though hc knew something about Rad
icalism. Such has been our opinion
about the loyalleaders for many years,
but wo arc alwayo ruled out of Court
when we offer our testimony.

QUITE AN lMPRovEMENr.--Hon. Geo.
S. Boutwell,, at present Secretary Of
the Treasury, has been elected United
States Senator by the Massachusetts,
Legislature to fill the vacancy caused
by the election Of Henry Wilson to
the Vico Presidency. Boutwell, is q
decided improvement on Wilson, in q
moral point, although hc never madc
halt the pretentions in that limo the
latter has. And should he become
wicked enough in the Senate to entor
the corruption ring, ho must buy
stocks in his own name. He has no
wife, and cannot, like brother Vice
President Wilson, purchase stocks in
his wife'a name and have no interest
in 1t himself. He will never make o
scape goat out of lady, in imitation
of tho two individuals who now draw
$4,000 and $4,000 respectively out
Of the United States Treasury. Bout.
well will never initiate Grant and
Wilson.

STILL IN SEssIoN.-The U. S. Sen.
ate, now in extra session, is busily
engaged in confirming appointments
and white washing tho characters Of
its own members. Gen. Logan, on
Wednesday last, demonstrated that
Caldwell, of Kansas, who had paid
$4,000 for his seat, was a saint, and
Pomeroy, Patterson, ETC., were angels.
1t IS about as useless to advocate a
question Of morals and personal in.eg-
rity before that body as to cast pearls
before swine. To say that tho gang
Of men in Congress who defrauded
the United States Treasury out of
Vfy millions of dollars through the
Credit Mobilier transactions, and then
stole $4,000 each on the last day OF
the session in the shape of extra pay,

than doublo-distilled villainy. When

a Dead Shot.

Our readers are no doubt aware
that tho Rev. James w. Patterson has
for Q number OF years held the posi-.
ton Of United Statos Senator from
Now Hampshire, and that the Credit
Mobilier investigation proved that he
was ono Of the wickedest Of those i'm.
plicated in robbing the Treasury
Some time last fall tie officers of the
Ohio State Agricultural society elect.
cd Patterson President of tho Agricul.
tural College, and he at once accepted
The position and intended 10 entor
upon his duties on tho frst Of May
next. But Credit Mobilior proved too
much, for oven that "loyal' Board,
and they failed to swallow Patterson.
Al late meeting, in referring to the
matter in their report, the Trustees
say:
"The Presidency of our institution
was first offered to distinguished cit.
izen Of Ohio, and afterwards to gen.
tleman from another State, of schol-
arly attainments, largo experience in
education and tho conduct of public
affairs, and of the most undeniable
qualifications for the place, with an
unblemished reputation, and charac-
tor for integrity and honor as fair and
pure as that Of any man In the Union,
so far as pds knorn at the time the
Board offered him the position. Since
then, hoperer, circumstances rendered
his appointment impoiitic and improp-
err"
Patterson, anticipating tho action
of the officers of the College, sent them
a note declining the Presidency which
had been rendered him merely say
ing that 81 do not feel at present like
taking upon myself SO great task" :"
Patterson, during the congressional in
vestigation, wanted Oakes Ames to
perjure himself TO save him. But the
gallant Amcs refused. Hence the de-
mise Of Rev. J. W. Patterson, a Chris
tian Statesman.

STRANGE CONSTITUENCIES. - The
-1oyap voters in Ames's and Colfax's
districts gave ovations to these two
worthios on their return home. Sew.
eral fatted calves were killed, and the
dealers in Credit Mobilicr stocks were
embraced by their constituents.
We cannot see tho point. II this
loyal rejoicing arises because these
men have escaped the pcnitentiary, or
for their successful robberics and
lying, then Ames has been unfairly
dealt with in having the smallest
