POLITICAL PARTY RELATIONS.
The duties imposed upon us in the ex-
isting crisis, involving the reconstruction
of the foundations of society, impel US to
be guided by higher considerations than
ordinarily control political party organiza-
tons. Of the people who confided to us
our present trusts, great majority is not
identified with any existing national politi-
cal party; and although they were former
ly divided among opposing parties. they
now stand united upon common Oonserva-
tive principles. Adhering to those prin-
ciples, Virginia seeks these ends ito
rights and relations, and to perform all her
constitutional duties, as one of the CO.
equal members of the Union to exercise
all rightful powers Of self-government and
to determine, adjust and regulate the inter-
nal, domestic and municipal interests O.
her people, their relations and rights. in.

paupers of that class, was mainly and
directly borne by the stakeholder. Yet
now not only that charge, but the far
greater charge of educating the col6red
race, is imposed upon the public treasury,
so that our burthens are enormously in
creased at the time of our greatest inn
poverishment and depression. At the date
Of the destruction of a large proportion of
our taxable resources, we are entrusted
with the care and education of more than
q halfmillion of the wards of the nation,o
without being provided with the indispen-
sable means for executing the trust. ya
Let us not be misunderstood. Deplora-
bic consequences must result from such
custer of state authority, as would be in
volved in any interference with the admin
istration of our public schools by the
Federal government. The enforced appli-
cation of civil rights, as commonly under
stood, to our state schools, would prove
quickly destructive of the educational sys-
tenn, arrest the enlightenment of the
colored race, produce continual irritation
between the races, counterfeit the pacifica-
ton and development now happily pro-
crossing, repel immigration, greatly aug

controlling and promoting domestic in

Nevertheless, Justice, humanity and the

country at large, invoke the common gov
eminent to enable us to effectuate its

newly enfranchised population, by sup
plying to the state the necessary means tc

4 INEQUALITIES IN THE DISTRIBUTION
OF NATIONAL CURRENCY.
The financial panic, or money famine,
1 productive of such distress Throughout
the country, is not new here. 1t has
with greater or less severity prevailed il
this state for years past, in consequence
of the inequitable distribution Of the ma
ton currency. While some Of the states
have allotted to them several times thei
due proportion of currency, Virgins
is allowed less than one-third of tn
amount to which she is justly entitled
Prior to the war, Virginia had within he
present geographical limits more thai
three times the amount of her presen

POLICE CoURr.-We knew "blue
Monday" would bring them out in full
force. There were ten cases before the
police court yesterday morning, and the
audience in attendance was immense.
The first case called was that Of
Patrick Msniop, charged with assault
ing Jennie Nichols on the night Of jan
10Th. Pat was let off with twenty dol
lars and costs.
Madame Hetty Brown, alias Caro- line
Cellars, was charged with keeping q
house o. ill-iams in that notorious 10
cality known as the farm" The
Madame's excheqner was reduced ten
dollars and costs.
Dons Russell got too full to navigate
with steadinees and certainty on Satur.
day night, 60 he rested his weary and
tired body on the Second Market house
scales. he was ordered to move on"
by a night Waterman, but not taking
the command kindly. he WAS arrested.
Five dollars and ccsts was the conse-
quence.
Henry Busbmau and Consrd Peter.
were fighting drunk on Sunday after
noon and wanted TO clean out an estsb-
lishmeut on Market street. Bush man
had evidently got the worst OF the clean
ing ont business as he had one Of the
biggest heads" on him we have seen
for a long time They were each fined
twenty dollars and cost, or the privi-
lege Of going to Jail for thirty days.
Matthew Mclaughlin and his broth
er Peter were arraigned on charge oil
creating tumult and disorder. These
are the parties who were engaged in,
and the cause OF the lively free flgh,
that occurred at No. 2l34 Main stree,
Centre Wheeling, on Sunday evening.
The disturbance occurred at the house
of Patrick Margarth. The McLsugh'
Inns went there drunk and very rolsy,
They were requested to either keep
quiet or leave the house, but they would
do neither. J. n. Bridgeman, a night
Waterman, was called in, and attempts
ed to get them out, but it was only an
attempt, for in about three minutes
Bridgeman had been pitched into
coal cellar with a fearful head on
him. Peter famed the officer over the
head with a skillet, while Matthew
brushed him gently with a number 9
government shoe. The McLaughlina
were arrested shortl, afterwards by
officer St. Meyers and locked up. They
| were fined twenty dollars and costs.
The case against Benny Davis, charg-
ed with being concerned in the disturb
ance with the McLsughliDs, was dis.
| missed, the evidence showing that Davis
was acting as peace maker.
Patrick Margar;h was committed 10
jail in default OF paying twenty dollars
and costs for selling liquor without liz
cense.
August Myers was relieved oftwenty
dollars of his wealth, for tumult and
disorder, and drawing tie claret from
the nose OF the partner Of his joys and
sorrows, principally the latter, how
ever.
