TIE INAUGURATION OF THE STATUE
OF STONEWAIL JACKSONVILLE unvail-
ing of the Statue of Stonewall Jackson
will be d great State occasion with the
people of Virginia. Placing it in position
at Richmond last week was accompanied
by imposing ceremonies, and the papers
say there has been mo such outpouriug of
the people for years" Speeches were
made by Gov. KemDer Gen. Bradley John
son and Mayor Kelley. The Governor
proclamati IN, relative to the unwilling
will be found in another column. The n
Y. Herald" noting the reception of the
statue at Richmond, says:
1.-THE gift of the monument O" statue of
Stonewall Jackson by some distinguished
English admirers of the Confederate chief
tain has made pleasant impression upon
Virginia. There is no reason why America
should not honor this soldier, who will be
remembered with the great men of history
and honored by all who respect valor, and
fOrtitude, and sincerity. ven though they
may spurn his cause. The erection of Il
statue to Stonewall Jackson in Richmond
is an event which excites as much interest
among northern men us among the late
Confederates. The war is past. and is far
enough remote for us to accept Stonewall
Jackson, not as a rebel, not as an enemy
of the Union, but as citizen Of whom the
country may well feel proud. His place
will be in our Walhalla, ID our hall of
fallen heroes"

RETURN OF A PROMINENT TIR.
GINA REBUBLICAN TO THE
CON,SER VA TIVE RANKS

Saturday afternoon the Conservative
meeting at the Town Hall witnessed the
return of a most esteemed gentleman tn
the Conservative ranks-nO less prominent
a person than Maj Ed. Mediation. who.
it will be remembered was the most for
mldable opponent of Judge Hughes for the
Republican nomination for Governor. at
the Lynchburg Convention. To his old
companions in politics his "alignine" him
self with the Administration seemed TO
have been more inspired by the hope that
the Federal Government would comrIet"
the James River and Kanawha canal and
otherwise aid in the restoration of Vir
ginia's prosperity if she was in line with
its politics, than from any other mott os.
He did not see to the depths of it's ntents.
nor that to keep state PROSTATE in
everything was the way to control it's poll
tics.S Since that time Maj. Mcmahon has seen
more OF Radicalism, perhaps, than he ever
dreamed of, and found out, as everybody
predicted that if there was any party on
earth entirely opposed in it's character to
his nature, the Radical party in Virginia
and in the United States is that party,
We welcome him back home: he is iust il,
time to join in the triumphal procession of
1876. Along with the Major we also well
come the enrolment of his son, Mr.. Ed
A. Mcmahon.

DEATH OF EDGAR SNOwDEN, SR.--

THE SCHOOL WORK or LAST
YEAR.

Staunton. as will be seen in the report
of the Superintendent of Schools in another
column, keeps her place in front in school
work, and does something more On look
ing over the figures we find that the at
tendance shows the extraordinary high
figure of over "a per cent. among the white
pupils; and that in the high and graded
schools the cost of tuition per pupil per
month was only one dollar and sic cents.
and in the grammar and graded schools
the cost was only sirty-eight cents per month
for each pupil. That important accom-
pIjshment, vocal music, is taught at the
expense Of only six cents per month. Our
schools have attracted much attention
abroad, and the last report of Superinten-
dent Ladd only strengthens the excellent
light in which they have appeared.
