John Taylor and Patrick Henry.
Since diary contained in the memoirs
of John Quincy Adams seems to bring In
conflict the public reputation of two Of Vir.
ginia's greatest characters Taylor, of
Caroline, and Patrick Henry it becomes
our duty to1recoucite the names of both
with all that is elevated In our past history.
II is but natural that Mr. William Writ
Henry should bava written the viDdication
Of his grandfather contained in bis letter to the
New York Herald of July 21st. and subse-
quently printed in the Dispatch, but he might
have done no less justiees'to his grandfather
and, more to Mr.. Taylor By pursuing diff
ferent hypothesis. 1t seems that Colonel
Taylor is reported by Mr.. Adams as saying,
on the 2lst Of March, 1924, that in the
campaign in 1871 Henry actually proposed,
in secret session Of the Legislature of Yir-.
ginia, that e-shonld be the frat 10 submit
to Great Britain, 10 order that she might OBJ,
tain the most favorable terms" Admitting
that Colonel Taylor ,oas at the time Of this
conversation, "seVenty.tWo years old Glow
10 healtb and feeble, !" " not an admirer OF
Patrick Henry" and that there is 6 no trace !"
on the journal of the House 6 to 60 into SCI
cret session " for the purpose indicated by
Colonel Tay lor, still these admissions amount
Its vel! known that the elder men
grow the more distinctly they remember the
euents Of their earlier juss, and the less
distinctly the events OF old age. This Is the
most striking peculiarly Of old people. Col.
iael Taylor, too, was one Of the most high
toned, aristocratic gentlemen of his time,
and too honorable to misfepresenta former

philosophy, we think the time is rapidly ap'

for all the phenomena Of Nature and reduce
them 10 q great First Cause and Author OF

is very certain that only by cliu@ing to the

can we ever hope TO emerge from the lazy

some Thoughts about Finances.

Editors Dispatch | am much inclined to
think that the specific has not yet been dis
covered, nor Is It in the heart of any one
man, that is going to get our country out Of
its financial trouble. The system that is to
restore general confidence and set business
agoiug once more is still in the future. II is
10 be the grand result Of a great deal of
thought, and before it is established perma.
nently time and experience will have to per.
feet 1t.
Our country, though approaching its cen:
tennial, is still sn experiment. The funda.
| meItal condition OF confederation is but just
determined. The covenant is sealed in blood.
1t is perpetual union. ,..s,..
The financial problem of the country
comes next in ordec. And that, like the
other question, is going to cost heavily in tine
settling Of ii. We are az immense country,
covering al immense area little world in
ourselves, made up of countries. with every
variety OF climate, OF soil, Of production, OF
sentiment, and Of language. But we are all
one Government, amalgamated and yet in.
|diyidualIzed. There never has been coun.
try exactly like it, or hardly approaching to
a resemblance. Therefore there is none
whose experience or system Of finance can
be taken as our guide. There is none whose
measure will do for Our financial coat. We
have got to make one ior. ourselves.

me- ss;, the other day that the Radicals
,-,r,S nrobsbly allow the Democrstst to con-,
..o, The North Carolina State Constitutional
convention so far as to prevent an adjourn.
n,ent Of that body. The Radical paper at
Greensboro does not share this opinion.
The following information comes from us
columns:
aThe Convention viii be composed OF 12o
members-ope Of these, Governor dranam,
is dead. The Republicans baye eiec.ea u
members, and the Democrats 90 members.
AMONG the latter arc classed four delegates
from Robson and Sampson, counues. VINO
received certificates by having Repuo ,,, al
nrecinets thrown out. These seats VIII pe
contested. Among the former is a Democrat
from, Jackson. who is In favor OIL the iInihe-
diafe adjournment of the Convention. Ihere
is bsrdly a doubt now that the Convention
will not proceed"
The Republicans claim the result as party
victory. and there Is much consequent re-.
;oiciug on the part Of the organs of the Ad'
,ninistrssion--especially those in Washing.
ton, where no paper can live that Is not in
favor with the party in power. We DO not
50 regard the result, as we have heretofore
said. The negroes were made to believe that
the Convention was called to reenslaVe them,
and many Of the whites were made to believe
that the homestead provision of the Constr
tuition was in danger. There were causes
enough for the defeat, but they were not
suchas lead to the conclusion that the Demo
Gratis cannot carrythe State upon party
issue. 49,.
The Dispatch has several times done all
that It could to prevent the calling OF con.
s,itutional convention in Virginia; and some
of our contemporaries who favored such q
call 1.-THE Lynchburg Virgint an for one, we
think expressed surprise that we snouia
have been found advocating the UNDERWOOD
Constitution. The result in Virginia would
probably have been as injurious to the con-
ssrys,iye party here as the result IN Norm
Carolina will be to the Democratic party
there. We have it in our power, as we
have proved by experiment or experience,
70 strike from our Constitution whatever il
Objectionable without putting into danger
those provisions which the people will mol
allow to be changed, and to preserve which
they would vote down any party pro.
posing to do away with the whole instru'
ment and adopt one wholly new. We can
soon expugue every bad provision and in i'f
place insert good one. We can also inser
as many new ones as we want or need with
out striking out any of those already in tn
Constitution. -
Therefore, the Conservatives Of Virgipi'
should profit by the experience OF theil
party friends in North Caroliua. Whilst VI
sympathize with our defeated friends WI
derive satisfaction from the reflection tina
we have. when occasion offered, done all tina
we could to prevent the Conservatives o
this State from being guilty of the bunde,
which has just been rebuked in North Caro-
lima.

Mr.. TILDEN Is put forward by Wall street
as candidate for President of the United
States. Daily the New York papers puff
him. They talk about the canal ring and
the frauds and scoundr elisms of that cor
rupt city as II the whole country were
deeply concerned 10 them. Unlike the boy
who wouldn't let his companions see his
"sore finger" the World deluges its read
ers with exposures of rascality, corruption,
and putrescence, in which TILDEN figures as
O supposed hero. TMDEN is not even pos
sibe candidate for the presidency. He
is second HoRATIo SEYMOUR. If he
lived in Ohio, Missouri, or Virginia,
the New York papers would laugh
to scorn the admircr of TILDEN who
should present bis name in connection with
that high office. If those papers are to be
trusted, New York is the centre Of the world
but as nobody outside of Gotham c.n be made
to coincide in their belief, it is not likely 10
TnDHN's case to bear much fruit in the shape
either of office or Of emoluments. TnDEN Is
a great statesman only because he resides 10
the largest city in the Union. There are 4
hundred men in California who are his SUI.
pcriors, but who are not known even by
name outside of the golden State. TnDEN
is not exactly Venus, but his craftsmanship
ia certainly the product Of froth. 1t was
born Of nothing more substantial.
However, man need not be statesman
at all to be President. AS FERNANDO WOOD
recently remarked, "anybod can fill that
office" All the qualification he needs is the
ability either to select a good Cabinet, or to
allow other persons to select it for him. 1t
were base fattery to call General GRANT the
ninth part of q statesman. Yet if the Re-
publican presses and orators are to be cred.
tied, be is most excellent President, who
smokes cigars, attends horse-races, and
lounges at Long Branch, whilst the affairs of
Government are admirably managed by
BRlsrow, JEWELL, and the rest of the Prssi.
DENIS constitutional advisers. 1t can be
hardly doubted that as England has now
for ruler in name Queen who has no
political opinions Of her own--this state OF
things having been naturally developed out
of the necessities Of that country, and found
to be worthy Of perpetuation-so the ten
deucy of things 10 this country is at present
towards similar kind of executive, the time
for dictator not having arrived as yet,
Congress is to rule this country hereafter
says Mr.. WooD; and doubtless be speaks the
truth. But bow long will his hereafter y
last? Only until the nam on horseback ap.
pears, as he may and possibly Will with
either the beginning OF, the close of the next
great war that the country shall get into.
And what !" man on horseback" .TILDEN
would be? Shades of julius CESAR. OLIVER
CROMWELL, and NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE, sink
into darkness and insignifcaDce.
But We must stop. We had almost for.
gotten what we intended to say.
