The Richmond Wing in an article upon the
constituent elements Of Conservatism 10 Viz
gioia well and truthfully says:
There is as much of pure patriotic principle
and disinterested zeal for the welfare of the
State and of the country in the great bulk and
body of the Conservative party of Virginia as
there ever was, perhaps, in either the old Wing
that have past. The heart of old Virginia is
still sound, still true, still responsive to the call
of that public virtue which always characterized
her in council and in the field With the first
burst of the war old Wings and old Democrats
alike in our State threw off at once their allie
glance to party, and, making common cause,
united as earnestly, as closely, and IS cordially
in politics a. in arms. And at the close of the
war, when the sternest necessities of public duty
demanded of every man to stand by his State in
the hour of her distress, both parties joined
hands and hearts with promptitude, sinceri.
ty, and an ardor of love for Virginia that gave
assurance of political organization made up of
elements that must succeed. That organization
was the Conservative party. Wings and DEM
ocrats went into it with equal willingness, equal
fidelity, and equal determination to let by-gones
be by. cones, and 10 move, and to act, and work
in harmony for the fulflment of the moment.
GUS mission before them. It was splendid
display of the highest heroism, the soundest
wisdom, and the truest feslty to the principles
Of civil liberty sustained by civil law, and that
too, at time when the souls of men were tried
as severely as in the darkest days Of the volu-
ton that resulted in American indepen dence.
The union established between old Wings and
old Democrats then is still undisturb bed, ind as
long as there is a sign or semblance Of Rsdi.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER %.

Hon. Thomas W. Ferry, of Michigan, would
now become temporary President OF the Unit
ed States 10 case of the de- th of Gen. Grant
The Constitution of the United States provides
that 10 the death or disability of the President
the Vice President shall succeed to his Office,
and that the Congress shall by law determine
who shall fill the Office of President in the case
OF the death Of both President aud Vice Presi-
deat Congress has by law declared that the
President OF the Seuate, or If there DC zone
then the Speaker OF the Hvuss Of Representa-
tives shall become President pro tenn 10 the
event OF the death or disability Of both the
President add Vice PresideLt. 1t will be re-
membered that Ferry was elected President
pro TEN Of the Senate during the iIIoess of Mr..
Wilson when the special session Of the Senate
was held 10 April last Such a selection by
the Senate amounts 10 this: The selection re-
maios In force until the Vice President again
presides. Wheo he agaio assumes his duties
the appointment of the ad interim office be-
comes void. Now, the fact is that Mr.. VIII
son did DOT preside at the special session after
Mr.. Ferry Was installed. The latter continued
to act throughout the whole time and adjourn
ed the body. III President Grant, therefore,
should die or resign before the United States
Senate next met, the successor to the chair
would be Mr.. Ferry. Under the present cir.
cumstauces, with the new Hvuie of RepreseD-
tatives unorgaoized, should President Grant
aud Mr.. Ferry both die, there being 10 Speak
er of the House to succeed to the Office, there
would be an interreguum, but it is presumed
that the Secretary OF St,te would act as the
provisional President until an election could
be held.
