R,rnsosp. THE capital OF the State Is, we
are glad to balieve, In o more prosperous
condition now. than her most sansuine
friends hoped to see three months ago. Ihe
trade which seemed stagnapt and Ut
terly dead has since the spur in tobacco
become lively, and the heads of the lnrge
wholesale houses are much more hopeful.
|, ii with pride and pleasure that we make
this statement in regard to the CHIEF city OF
our State. We think it solemn duty .of
every merchant in our State to give prefer
ence to the wholesale men of their own
State over those Of others. There Is notning
more calculated to build up the Interests OF
the whole people than to have large, pros.
porous city as its capital; and we are sure that
the spirit OF liberalily now extended TO our
country mel chants from the large dealers IN
Richmond must induce them to trade there.
WHY take the serely-needed capital from
Richmond and trade in Baltimore or else
where9 There are numberless reasons Wny
We. should begin at home 10 improve Inc
losses sustained by the war, and If our couo-
try pros it must prosper from the Work
of our own people. 1t can never do SO
RAPIDLY or on a sure foundation as long as
our people themselves carry the capltal
needed 10 build up our own cities to others
In distant States. We hope that our ASST
rance to our merchants that they can do as
well in Richmond as in Baltimore will in
duce them at least to stop and examine the
stock and prices there before "golng further
ard faring worse."-Roanoke Valley.

STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,

R1CHM0ND, OClODer 10, 10 4.
In response to many inquiries which have
been made in regard TO the manner Of voting
at the approaching election, the following
information is given for the guidance of city
and county committees who have charge of
the preparation of ballots or tickets:
There is no law prohibiting State or local
officers from being voted for on the same
ballot with the Congressional candidate.
The State election law, approved hIay II,
1874, regulates the subject rs follows:
"Section 81. Every elector shall vote by
ballot, and each person Offering to vote shall
deliver a single ballot to one Of the judges in
the presence of the other two judges. The
bolot shall be q white paper ticket, and con-
tanning on the face or inside Of ii, written or
printed, or partly written and partly printed,
the names Of the persons for whom the elcc.
tor intends to vote, and designating the Office
to which each person so named is intended
by him to be chosen; but 70 ballot shall con-
tain greater number Of names of persons
designated to any Office than there are per.
sons to be chosen at the election to I'll such
Office, and the names of all persons voted for
by an eleetor shall be on one ballot"
In regard to the manner of voting on the
proposed amendments to the Constitution,
the Legislature has provided that the vote
shall be taken on ticket or ballot on which
shall be printed or written For the amend
ments to the Constitution" for those who
approve said amendments, and "Against the
amendments to the Constitution for those
who are opposed to said amendments. These
words should be printed or written upon q
separate ballot, for which a separate ballot
box should be provided.
By order Of the Committee.
N. Il. MEADE, Chairman.
y. R. Fisher, Secretary.

Election by the House.

We see the question of throwing the cleo.
ton Of President into the House Of Repre-.
sentatiyes discussed. 1t is argued that if the
Democrats should get control of the next
House, the Republicans, to avoid the throw
ing Of the election into that body, would
unite in solid column and elect their candi.
date if possible. On the other hand, it is
argued that if the Democrats have the House
they may feel security that would proba-
bly, cause some apathy amongst them that
might diminish their chances Of electng
their nominee.
There is little or nothing in this. The
House votes by States, and not by congress
sional districts. Rhode Island is 10 that
election as strong as New York, and Yer
mont equal in weight to Pennsylvania. We
cannot hope for any such change as will
carry over these small New England States
TO the Democrats, aud therefore it is not at
all likely that the Republicans will fear their
fate in the House. The Democrats, on the
other hand, have every reason to dread the
House, and TO use all their power to avoid
tie adjournment of the election to that body.
Therefore we see nothing in the Idea put
forth as stated above. While on the subject
we may we'll express our wonder that the
small New England States, who are in every
sense the bencfciaries Of the State-rghts fea-
lures Of the United States Constitution,
should blndly sustain every act Of the Fedc-
rsl Government that goes to degrade the
States ard subordinate every power secured
them in the Constitution to the will Of the
Federal Executive. Is it that their malice
has the better of their judgment? Do they
prefer to see the South punished at the ex.
pense of the rights which are their very
breath of life to seeing the South relieved
and States rights respected! We cannot un-
dcrstand why they should cooperate in de-
s.royipg the rights which protect them from
larger communities, unless it be blind malice.
Well, they will have the bloody instruc-
tions" returned to them in time. The doc
trine that numbers must rule they have ap.
proved, and they will yet drink the draught
they commended.

rne Richmond District.

The postmaster at Washing on, D. u. Ed
s,,>ns who Is the secretary OF the Repuon'
can National Executive Committee, writes
letter published in our paper yesterday
noruipQ) to Judge MORTON, OF TINS Guy
calling upon Messrs. sMra and BURGESS ~
withdraw. and leave the field TO some p'oui''
nen. and able man upon whom az 'he is.
publ;cans Of the district can cord'a'iy on''.'
The Government officer writing tnlS ie''ei
urges as a reason for this measure JUG 'oSses
sustained By the Republican party III recent
elections"
The reason is good; bat the appearance OF
on Office holder in the field to attempt to con-
troll public opinion here in ne matter Of mas
arm trial is not at all creditable. No doubt
be is uneasy. The thunders of political rev.
CLINTON have shaken the Washington post
office. But he has no moral right to come
into the high court where he is under trial
to endeavor to Influence the judgment of the
court. Such interference would, in other
DAYS. have been looked upon as the imperti-
nence of corruption. 1t is no less so now.
We shall see how the people OF the district
will regard this, and we shall see who 1t Is
that will, under the agency OF sucn apph'
ances 10 break the force Of free public opln.
ion. come forward to enlist under the othee'
holders banner.
Let them bring out whom they may under
instructions from Washington otfice-holders,
can we doubt for moment that the Con-
servatives Of the district will stand firm and
uncouquera5le? The movement should
only aGd energy to their strong determiDa-
ton to send Conservative TO Congress from
this district They would double their
triumph by rebuking official interference
and indicating Virginia at the same time.
No. The Conservatives are not to be dis
outraged Or induced to relax their eXertions
in this glorious struggle upon the very eve
OF the national deliverancc. They will swell
the ;ru1npbs in North Carolina, Arkansas,
Ohio, Indiana, &c, by aiding to win
grea, victory in Virginia, and thus answer
the cheering news we have had with VIC
tory worthy Of Virginia.

The Lincoln Monument.

The LINCOLN monument, for which LAR
KIN G. MEADE, Jr., gets the credit, but which
was, according 10 the celebrated painter
HEALEY, designed by PAssAGLIA and BoR-
DEAuX, and made by Italian workers in mar
BILE, was unveiled, as our readers know, on
Thursday, before al immense multitude, in
Guiding the President of the United States,
and CoLFAx ex-Vice-President. 1t is placed
in the cemetery of Springfield, lila very
picturesque battle-ground.
1t was little strange that an orator for
the occasion was difficult to obtain. SEwARp,
who is said to have been his I" best FRIEND"
snd CHASE, who is also said to have been
his "nobIest enemy" We're successfully
chosen to pay the suitable tribute to his
memory on the occasion. Both tthese orators
dying before the time for unwilling the sta
tue, Mr.. GIDEON WELLEs was invited to per-
form the task, but he declined it on the
ground that what he should say of the po.
lI.ical career of LINCOLN would not be agree
monument.
Next, President GRANT was asked to do
the work, but he modeStly declined on the
ground that he could not do justice to the
subject. Finally, United States Senator
OGLEsBY was chosen, and he made the ora.
ton, which had so little to distinguish i,
above the most ordinary speeches that it wi i'll
never be heard of again.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN for time was more
praised and glorifed than ever was any Other
man by the northern people. 1t is strange
therefore, that it should have been found
somewhat difficult to get an orator tt
eulogize his memory, and at last thai
the poor talents of Senator OaLEsBY
should have been harnessed for the
work. The fact is, when we compare the
guneEeal pomp and hymns of praise that &C.
companied the remains of the deceased to
Illinois with the indifference that seemed to
be shown to the ceremonies of unwilling the
monument to his memory we cannot but
think that the respect for the memory Of the
deceased has greatly diminished In the North
We suspect that there Is more real good feel.
Ing for the memory of LINCOLN in the South
than there is at the North. There the public
seemed to have concluded that dead PresI-
dent can be Of no service to the liVing, and to
make fuss over bis memory won't pay. The
southern people now know him better than
they did whilehe lired, and know that be pos
sessed virtues, and that he had kline feelings
and purposes towards them; and for these
