the Condition OF Affairs
iss the South.

MR.. BOWEN Mr.. Speaker would
be false to the people have the honor
to represent in this Hall were | not to
mingle my voice with the Constitu
tion-loving people of this great coun-
try, from every portion of which
comes up circumstances against the
high-handed usurpation in the State
of Louisiana.
| had hoped, sir, that in retiring
from life / should not he compelled,
as among the last OF nay official acts,
to criticise the conduct of the Chief
Magistrate of this great Republic, aud
to denounce as the greatest political
crime Of this age the armed interior
ence of Federal power i'm the organi3a-
OH Of the Legislature Of Il sovereign
State of the Union, and the election
from their seats of five OF its members
claiming to have been duly elected,
and whose rights to seats i'm that body
could be lawfully determined by the
Legislature alone. The act has had its
parallel in Eng and, but never before
in government like ours, where the
people are the soverejgns and the law
alone is king. What spectacle wss
presented to the world as a common
tary upod republican government on
that memorable 4th day Of January in
the city of New Orleans. The repre-
sentatives of free State assembling to
organize for deliberatiOn on affairs in
which the State WAS the party most
deeply concerned. marching into a
legislative hail SURROUNDED 10y armed
soldiers and through flies Of Federal
bayonets fixed and ready to do bloody
work at the nod of usurping COVER
nor or at the command of a too willing
but still more heartless and cruel ma
ior-general, only to be dispersed when
fairly congregated and denounced af-
terward as outlaws and bauditti ~
Aud. IS if the cup OF OUT shame and
humiliation as a once libeIty-loving
people was not already filled to the
brin by these lAwiess acts of tyranny
and power, men Of exalted station and
claiming to be lovers of freedom, of
law anG order, and the champions of
popular liberty. are found ready to de-
fend and apologize for such acts of des-
po,ism. They seek TO justify the Pre-
sident by imputiug 10 him ignorance
OF any attempt of the soldiery TO inter
fere with the organization of the Leg
islature, but in their Efforts to do SO
fail to tell the public that Sheridan
was i'm New Orleans three days prior
to the outrage committed, and was
there by executive direction. Re was
sent there for some purpose, and that
purpose is abundantly manifest and
readily to be inferred from his famous
"bsnditti" dispatch to the President.
No plea of ignorance will avail where
facts reveal a knowledge OF what was

Woodrum of Roanoke Co., Va. The
young orator, on the swift wings Of
Imagination. darted off with the rapid
ity Of light, into the realms Of spaee,
until seated on the senter Of the uni
verse, he calmly surveyed revolving
systems and flaming comets.
The anDiversarian, G. w. Mitchell.
of Liberty, Va, was then introduced,
and with all the beauty of language
and ferver Of thought, told of the
beautiful tale, that ain Living, not
In Life, Turks the Charm. He refer
red in patriotic terms to the great pre-
server of American peace and liberty,
whose birthday was being commemo-
rated.

vote standing three to two.

MIR EDITOR Salem has been en-
tertRjued for the pact few nights by
the anniversaries Of the Young Mems
Christian Association and the Cicero
niRn Literary Society. The former took
place on the night Of the 2lst., in the
College Church. The Speaker, Prof.
]. A. Turner of Hollins Institute, was
introduced to large audience hy the
Pastor loci. He selected rs the theme
o. his discourse, one which has been
ayitating the Scientists and TheolO-
RiRns of this century, Faith in
Science aud Faith in the Bible" The
general tenor of his discourse was
highly logical and metaphysical, prov
ing that faith is necessary in the as
sumption of the elementary truths of
each He also proved that the appar-
ent aGtagonism between science and
religion, was the result of ignorance
and superstition rather than a real
RntagOnism in their primitive truths
and ultimate principles. The theory
OF development by evolution and nat
ural selection, by Darwin, T;ndall and
others, requires more faith for the es-
Enlistment of its principles than the
most intricate revolution of religion
The discourse WAS terse in language.

eruditioR.

Hall was filled to overlooking with
the elite of Salem and vicinity, The
exercises were opened by Rev. ]. ".

which we were greeted by the wild
and iouc lIng strains of the Silver Cor

Z. w. Gleaves, of Wytheville, Va,
delivered an appropriate and well
written address with much credit to
himself, and nonor to the Society he
represented. He then introduced as
Orator, your young townsman, G. G.
Minor, who at once ingratiated him
self, by the fluency of his style and
the ease of his manner, into toe favor
of every admirer Of the true orator
His subject was Moral worth" and
we would have supposed, as we were
soon convinced, that the theme was
one of peculiar fitness 10 one in whom
there is so much that is noble and
generous in soul and mind. The ques-
ton for debate, Does Mental Science
afford richer field for Study than the
Science of Astronomy" was then
read, and the Speaker of the attirma-
tive, g. j.. Atkins, OF Elkton, KY,
was introduced by the President. His
speech evineed profound thought and
deep research. He left the stage amid
the applause of the audience. aRd the

JUDGE THOMAS NOMENA
TED.
Is He Eligible I?

In the Conservative caucus last
Thursday evening Judge Henry
w. Thomas, Senator from Fairfax,
was nominated for the office OF
Lieutenant Governor, made vacant
by the election of Col. WitherS to
the Z. S. Senate. The contest
was between him and Mr.. Coghill,
OF Amherst. Of course this is
equivalent to an election,
Judge Thomas IS an able and
honest man, one that in every sense
will make creditable Lieutenant
Governor, and in case of a vacancy
would in every sense but one
make an excellent Governor. He
is a Funder, and is therefore, not
in sympathy with the oppressed
people of the State. We believe
Mr.. Coghill is also a Funder. 1t
is to be regretted that the Legisla-
ture continues TO contine its gifts to
its own body. AS the matter now
stands no man can bcregardcd as eli
giblc to any Office TO be filled by
the General Assembly We doubt
whether Judge Thomas is eligible
under the constitution to this posi-
ton. Certainly in moral sense
he cannot be. The two houses
have proceeded to create this va
csncy for one Of their own members
and they have made good that in
tent by elovating one Of them to it.
