VALUABLE INFORMATION.


BosToN, Dec. l2, 1869.
Gentlemen-My only object in giving you this tes-
timonia is to spread valuable Information. Having
been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum, and the whole
surface Il my skin being covered with pimpes and
eruptiODs, many of which caused me great pain and
annoyance, and knowing II to be blood disease,
took many of The advertised blood preparations,
among which was any guam iiy OF Sarsaparila,
without obtaining any benefit until ] commenced
taking the VEGETlNE, and before l had completed
the first bottle saw that had got the right medi-
cine. Consequently, follow ed on with it until
had taken seven bottles, when was pronounced
well man, and my skin IA smooth and entirely free
from pmpes and eruptions. have never enjoyed
good health before, and attribute 1t all TO the
use of VEGETISE To benefit those afflicted with
Rheumatism, ! will make mention also of the VEGE-
TINES wonderful power OF curing me OF this acute
complaint, OF which have suffered so Intensely.

The Maryland Editors Association, wl.icl, as
sembed for its annual business meeting and
nner IN Baltimore OH the 9th ult, was a most
enjoyable occasion. We were not able to be
present and feel sorry that but one Eastern

Centreville Obseryer-and he complains that not
one editor this side Of the bay was chosen to
Office in the Association for tue ensuing wear.
Wei, that need hot be wondered at, as but one
OF us was present, and in consideration of the
fact that We have now Peuinsular Press Assoc

The whipping OF persons convicted Of theft
has become custom in Virginia, within few
years, it being simply the extension OF the PLAN

As to its merits, the Washington Chronicle and

the former criticisins, the latter defending, and
citing, Of course, the example Of Delaware As
usual, too, the Virginidn mistakes tho facts,
asserting shat all sorts Of good results flow from
our whipping post. We wish an authoritative
report could be prepared, some day, on the mer-
its and dement's Of the lash system OF our State,
so that the swarm of imaginary virtues which
arc continually imputed to it by it's admirers
might be dispersed finally. Something can be
said, we admit, in favor OF whipping some peo-
pie, under some circumstances. but few systems
Of legal punishment are more faulty than on
present plan Of using the lash. 1t has grown
old, ugly, and unsuitable.

The Ohio Legislature, controlled by Democrats,
is a ilAe illustration OF how Senator Eayard y
followers in that State are devoted to "local
self government" 1t found the city OF Toledo
with City Council composed of two branches.
One of these was Democratic, and one Republi-
can. 1t therefore abolished The Republican
branch, by IN act directed especially at this OBJ
ject, and put the control Of the city into the
hands OF the Democratic branch.
The consequence of this gerrymander, how,
ever, is that the people Of Ohio arc generally
disguised, and at the municipal election il
Toledo, on Monday, The Republicans swept the
city, electing the Iwhoe OF their ticket excsp
one judge.

What curious reversal Of process ! John 7.
Hoffman became Governor of New YORK by the
favor OF the Tammany Ring, and expected to be
made President by force Of the same influence.
How he failed is matter OF history. But now,
here is Tidsn made Governor, because he
prominently aided in destroying that Ring, and
expecting, next, to ride Into the Presidency on
his further reputation as destroyer of the State
Canal Ring. 1ildeD evidently picks out the road
on which Hoffman found destruction, and care
fully travels the other way. But will Samuel
even get the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency?
Both Houses Of the Legislature, amongst
their other ante-mortem resolutions, passed one
returning their thanks to the railroads for the
free passes, OH which they had been riding dur.
ms the session-and will ride, for the rest Of
the year. That resolution showed gratitude, tc
be sure, but we should like an opinion from the
tender consciences of the independent " pres,
as to how they think it looks. Even the news
paper editors, when they gather in editorial con
ventions, have become rather too digniiied t.
formally offer thanks for passes.

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, Nov. "a. rs.

To the Editors Of the Vdlley Tirginian:
Gentlemen,-I see from the papers that the
State authorities have discharged Joseph Mayo.
late State Treasurer, indicted for the embez-
element OF funds belont ing to the State of
Vireinia-not only discharged him from the
criminal prosecution, but. az they mildly put
it, 'sttrned him over to his friends. on the
grounds that he is insane. and was insane at
the time Of the theft by him OF the peoples
money; and yet q Governor. who is a lawyer,
continues the confinement OF Col. Coleman, q
confederate III the theft with Mayo, in the PEN
tentiary, when it is well-unerstood fact that
the chief evidence upon which Coleman was
convicted was the TESTIMONY ~ This same 10.
seph Mayo, msaae no1c an insane at the
time of the enibezZlemrJt n thousands Of
poor old Virginia's money. ,ir>. is it law! Is
it common sense? Yes, more, is it common
decency, that a man from, lack of nationality
incapable OF responsibility for crime commit
ted can depose to facts to warrant a jury i'm
sending q fellew-man to a felon's cell for
fDnr long years, or is not the reverse OF the
proposition true, that a man who is sane
enough for a jury to find verdict of guilty on
his testimony, and an upright judge to pass
sentence and pronounce Judgment on, is him.
sell sane enough to receive the due punish
ment for his rascalty and dishonesty in office?
Sirs. fair play! eqr,al, exact justice to ALL should
DE the pride and aim of all wcll-regulated
governments. we are not living under the
Mosaic dispensation that the SINS of the people
can be placed on the seape-goat. Each should
stand Oh his own footing. If Mayo is guilty,
let no mauding sentimentality keep him out
OF the Observation-Disclosures he belongs to the
oldest Or youngest family, let justice be done.
For heavens sake let rs not here in Virginia
popularize the plea of insanity and especially
in the case of public pIunderers and thieves.
II Mayo is insane, he ought by all means
to be in the asylum for the insane. out of
harm sway. From all accounts, there is much
method in his madness, and it has a dangerous
tendency towards pocketing that which does
not belong to him. Away with him to the
penitentiary. or else to the mad house and
turn poor Coleman out. Let there be no such
stigma rest ON the Judiciary of Virginia. as the
committing to tile penitentary of one of her
citizens OH the testimony OF a crazy man. Oh,
what a yrtuols indignation would move the
honest Conservative press of Virginia, had
this case TRANSFERRED under Reps blican adj
mnistiation of affai rSnpf this State; but the
case beinnaltered Al 4 the case. you know;
and an oN and Ted citizen being tho
and that, 700. OF the hibid Con-.
servatiye sort, it is all right, you know. Until
this matter is put right by the punishment OF
Mayo, and an honest exhibit made of the full
amount stolen by him, let us hear no more
OF honest Conservative government, but let it
stand fairly forth to tlp.. people as sham,
baseless pretenton of 4 60, eminent, AMI up
held by a party Of dishonest devices and tricks.
FAIR PLAY.

STATE DEBT.-The Auditor of Virginia re-
ports that the total amount Of the State debt
is $29.514, 426. This does not include the
Sl5,000,000 and interest set apart as West Vir-
gina's share OF the public debt, for which Vir-
ginia is bound and West Virginia never in
tends to pay. The debt Of Virginia, in round
numbers, is not short Of $4e, 900, and it is
the most transparent deception to report it
less. 1t is with that sum the Legislature will
have to deal, and not the cooked report Of the
Auditor.

to succeed Senator johnson, and arrived at the
conclusion that Hon. John I,eteher had the
best chance. lie deserves all his party can
give him. We incline to the opinion, however,
that Mr., Johnston will be his own successor,
Virginia obtained her Influence in the national
councils before the war, by keeping in repro
sentative position those who honestly and
faithfully discharged their duties, and as no
complaint can be made against the present
Senator on this score, it is more than probable
he will not be displaced.
