The Late DIR. Thomas &. CI0pfon, OF
Gloucester county, Va.
RICHMOND, Va, March "a, 1875

hlCHhOND, a., ualSu ~ Ao'o'
Mcssrs Etitors,-l noticed in late paper
the death of DR.. Thomas G. Clopon, which
occurred on the 18th ultimo, at the residence
OF bis son, 10 the county of Gloucester, at the
advanced age OF seyenty.two years. He was
;nterred at Bacon Fort, his old residence,
near Woods Cross Roads, where tradition
savs Nathaniel Bacon was buried.
Had DR.. Clopton been an ordinary man
raising notice would be deemed sufficient;
bnt no man within the past half.century has
left q more indell5le impression upon that
county than the deceased. In early life be
entered actively upon the duties OF bis profess
sion, and by his indomitsbe energy and great
medical skill be soon took high rank as pbySi-
clan. his practice al one time extending into
the adjoining counties OF King and Queen,
MiddleseX, and Mathews. He erdeared him
self especially to the poor within the bounds
of his practice by promptly responding 10 all
their calls in sickness, never pauSlng to con-
slider whether he would be remunerated for
his services or not. This generous consdera-
ton on his part kindled in their hearts love
and admiration for the humane physician
which will cause bis name to be long cher
ished in grateful remembrance, and the sad
announcement of bis death will cast shade
of sorrow over many an humble cottage.
DR.. Clop:on was for some time before the
late war justice of the peace, and repre-
scented bis county for several years in the
House of Delegates with entire satisfaction
10 his constituents, whose interests he ever
guarded with answering fidelity. He was
yirginian of the old school; high-toned,
9 'klsalrous, and patriotic, and though nearly
al us years OF age at the beginning of the
late civil war, be raised volunteer compa'
IVA, M entered the Confederate army as cap
tain Were be remained in active service un-
I'll e,ilin Y health compelled him to resign.
THE stk of this excellent aud revered
man was ~eeeded but short tine by that
of two 9th It distinguished citizens of the
same county. John L. Seawell, Esq, and
Judge Wyndh I'M Kemp. both OF whom bad
filed large Sd. ee in public favor and esti.
nation, Thus within the short space of two
months has death severed these honored
links which bound the past to the present
generation; but they leave to their children
the priceless heritage Of their virtues, and in
honor to the memory of such men We may
inscribe upon their tombs the noble epitaph,

A question addressed to our friend Of the
Petersburg Ne,cs: Do you really think that
the FuLKERsoN amendment, if it should be-
come a law, would diminish the number Of
coupons received into the treasury! Would
lit not rather increase the number? There
,sre 500 worth of coupons on bonds amount
dng to 81 ,GGG sc. These will pay the State
tax on $4,000 worth of land. Now, what
would be the effect Of the FUIEERsoS alb.
h:rdity: This and only this: JONES would
be allowed to pay this 500 of taxes with
go of "lawtu money whilst SMITg would
&c: 800 worth pt coupons for so, for which
hellow pays sc. And thus the number OF
COZ pons received into the treasury would be
inei aased rather than diminished. AS the
Chatham Tribus2 says:
coupons were never at par with cur
rena,, consequently they Will still further
declige in price uLtil they besr the same NC
IatioG TO currency that they did before The
PASSAGE of this bill should it become law,
and tl,as the objecs the antiFUnders bad in
view &ill be defeated and the State credit
greatly, damaged"

and approved the nomination OF pa8Dkh .u'"
that they should have approved tue 'o' 'n''
and laid the latter on the table!
The affair IS only straw. inueed ou' -
indicates a good deal. We do not fe'''e"'-
bier that any other President, having the ma
ior;tv in the Senate, ever had his non'na-
lions so aouted BY that body. 1t shows tha'
there is want Of concert between the Exc
cutiye and the Senate-sye, want Of respect
from the latter towards the former. And
this Is one ef the strongest signs OF party
di,tategrutic1. No party can stsua that Is
| at war with the President Of its election.
The manifestation Of the feeling of'hsee In
the acts Of the Senate on these points Is CAL
culated to increase the detestatien oil the he.
publican party every where. Itgoes beyond
1 its true vrovince to applaud course cf pro-
| ceedirg that has caused great distress IN
aLouisiana and destroyed vast IDEAL OF the

the Senate of the measures which pro-
duccd such disaster is not Inc ap'
prevail of Congress, but only OF Tue
Sencse. whose extra session was moi
intended by the trainers Of the CONSTITUTION
for any such legislation. 1t us gross DE-
parture from the spirit of the Constitution
and an outn,ge that is committed Tor the
qualification OF one amongst the meanest OF
passions and the meanest OF all SORTS
of malice-party malice and yet, again. INC
mcanest Of the varieties of party malice
sesionalho.e. A party actuated by such
passion as that-a party using the hlgh Juog'
ment Of the United States Senate for such
purpose, cannot be regarded as, one
i,opg TO live. 1t is benefcent proVl'
zion in the laws of Providence that
the mesper passions are incompatible WITH
endurance or success. The Radical party
.,eipgfuu of the worst, is fast going TO de-
struction.
In this particular case we suspect tna'
GaSar cares not for their approval OF his
Louisiana policy, which be conducted with
out their help, and yet feels not little in
diynation at their Insult in consignins MS

THE Defeat of Rsrdee

The Republican party of the United States
Senate has closed the session with an exhibit
ton OF Republican malice that is quite in
Keeping with the reputation Of the meanes;
and most destructive party that.eper existed
in this country. General GRANT nominated
for the Office of United States District Judge
of Louisiana, in place Of DUREII, the dis
honored judge, who resigned, ID. Z. PAR
DEE, gentleman aud q Just man. And the
CoSKLISGs and other leaders Rho stiE bitter
ly nourish the passions of var, wbick gave
the Republican party existence, opposed him
and succeeded in laying bis domination on
the table. PARDEE was irreProachable, and
there fore not the proper instrument for per.
secution of the South and for that corrup.
tion upon which the Radical party subsists
So be bad TO die.
General GRlrT Is erratic. He does some
strange things, and now and then / good
thing. TO Us he is mystery. He certainly
ought to be allowed to do good thing when
he has mind 10. But that relentless and
rutbless Republican party, which n yer
deSiates into justice and humanity, would
not permit this.
They attempted, however, to make amends
for their implied censure Of the President by
approving his abominabIe aud outrageous
Louisiana policy. How artfnl in their meta |

Nevertheless, GRANT is not appcased by such |

WeAo not ordinarily pay compliments 10
gentlemen who are elected to Judgesnips,
because Virginia has any number of worthy
sons, and too often the best are defeated.
But we shall be excused for departing from
custoaa which We think good in order TO pay
q tribute to Il. L. MONTAGUE, of Middle$ex,
formerly Lieutenant Governor Of Virginia,
who was yesterday elected judge of the
Eighth judicial circuit. He is gentleman
of ability, long prominent among puollc
men, and has been distinguished for his de-
yotion to the Commonwealth. He has been
amongst the foremost in his services to that
party that has saved the State in her eXtre'
mitv. The honor has been well bestowed
and it will be we'll worn.
Nevertheless, we again protest against the
election to Office by the Legislature OF the
members of the Legislature 1t is a great
temptation, and tends to the injury of the
State. We mean no reflection upon Mr..
MONTAGUE. A bad custom has given US
very good judge. There were other aspi.
rants than Mr.. MONTAGUE. Our only mo-.
tive now is to call public attention to the
danger of filling Offices with legislators. The
judiciary would be improved, and the hug
gcrmueger and ring legislation, which has
of late done infinite injury TO the State,
would be avoided if the members of the
Legislature were rendered ineligible to the
offices they have to fill. Late events have
enforced upon the people the absolute ne
cessty of protecting themselves against the
combinations of individuals amongst their
representatives for individual advantage.
