We see, from the last issue Of
the fredericksburg Herald, that
the democracy Of Virginia are
forming a great State society to
encourage emigration from Europe
and our own States of aCkite men
Of skill, industry, and enterprise
into the Old Dominion. This is a
very admirable plan. It viii bring
up the character OF this old State,
and, above all, it will drive out the
negro, aud once more hand over
the political power of Virginia to
the white race. 1t is wise ia itself.
Tt proves that the people fully uu.
derstand their present needs. II
shows that large craftsmanship
and sound principles Of political
economy have yet their advocates.
General Fitzhugh Lee is the
president of this society, and his
great popularity and sound, prac-
teal opinions, and his association
with the State of Virginia, we hope
will make the objects of this So
oiety a great success.-[Common-

It would not be the least of the
wonders of our coming Centennial
celebration it France aud England
should shake hands in PbiIadel-
phia. The French Assembly has
voted the sum OF 100000 francs to
enable French exhibitors to make
q creditable showing of their skill
and there is serious talk of in
viting the Queen of Great Britain
to grace the occasion by her pres
ence. Stranger things than these
have happened. We have received
with distinguished honors two
of royalty-but
neither the Prince of Wales nor
the Grand Duke Alexis had the
full favor of sovereignty. Like
Pip, they were young gentlemen of
great expectations. The visit of a
real ruler would be a marked event,
and the Queen would receive a
royal Welcome Exchange.

SeIR.GOvernment of the Negro
Race.

A great many years ago, the
African Colonization Society was
founded. Its object was to induce
emigration to Liberia, where, un-
der a government of their own
choice, the negro could settle for
himself the problem of his ability
for self-government. Liberia is in
West Africa, extending nearly six
hundred miles along the coast.
The territory included in the limits
of the new colored Republic was
acquired by purchase from the ma
tive proprietors. The interior
boundaries of the purchased tracts
are about forty miles from the
coast. The new Republic was in
augurated under favorable aus
pieces. The soil was good, and as
there was very little swamp or
worthless land, the climate was
healthy, and generally like that
common near the Equator. The
mercury seldom rises above so de-
gees, and never falls below 60 de-
grees. Tropical products of course
are easy OF production, and those
of our latitude do very well.
Monrovia, the Capital and larg-
est town, which has about 1900
inhabitants, is a seaport The
friends of the negro, and those who
believed in his ability TO govern
himself, we're greatly interested in
this scheme. Mr.. Clay in particu-
lar, was particularly prominent in
assisting to advance the interests
Of this young oolored republic.
We have before as the report OF |
the American Foreign Missionary
Society upon their work in Libe- |
rim. The accounts Of some re-
turned missionaries are of most |
discouraging nature. They say
that the people are falling back |
into o state Of baFbarism. Religion
and education make no progress,
private morality and IN particular
chastity, ID not regarded by the
people, and that the government
Ia little better than a farce.
These statements coming not
from political sources, but from
eminent Christian clergymen, we
are compelled TO accept as true.
We have thought the causes Of the
generalization 90 prevalent among
.he great mass of Southern ne.
yroes, attributable to their asso-
stations with bad whites. But thia
iould not be true Of Liberia. The
Whole is managed and conducted
y blacks, and IL seems to as that
he capacity Of the Colored race
Or ssli-government has had fair
rial aud been sonud wanting.

THE NEXF SENATE.


When the revolution Of last fall
swept away the Administration MAORI
ty IN the House Of Representatives,
the defeated party took consolation in
the thought that its asendency IN the
Senate could in no event be disturbed.
The elections Of the past few weeks
have shown how severely this last prop
Of a falling party has been shaken. It
is perfectly safe to say that had there
been a half dozen more States to elect
Senators, the opposition would have
secured a clear majority in the Senate.
On the 81 of March next the terms of
25 Senators viii expire. Of
these II are Administration,
and s opposition. Twenty-Five States
have elected Senators, and in three,
Minnesota, Florida and West Virginia,
a result has not yet been reached. Of
the new Senators Is are safely to be
placed In the Opposition, and to these
may be added those whom West Vir-
GINA and Florida will elect. This, with
the Is Composition members holdingover,
gives the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. party a
total Of So members, andleaves the Ad-
ministration with only Al, giving them
the successor Of Senator Ramsey in
Minnesota, and counting the vacant
seat for Louisiana IN their favor, al
though it clearly belongs on the other
side.

HERE is an item Of interest for a
good many venerable Tennesseeans.
In the United States Senate, last Sat
urday, Mr.. Pratt, Of Indiana, from the
Committee on Pensions, reported back
the bill granting pensions to certain
soldiers and sailors of the war Of 1872,
and the widows Of deceased soldiers.
and to restore to the pension rolls the
names Of persons stricken therefrom in
consequence Of disloyalty, with an
amendment In the nature Of a SUBJ
stitute. 1t was placed on the calen-
dar. Mr. Pratt explained that the
substitute admitted to the pension rolls
the names of all surviving officers, sol
diers and sailors of the war Of 1872,
who served IN that war for the period
Of thirty days, and who were h~onorably
discharged, and did not voluntarily en-
gage in the late rebellion; also all sur
wing officers and soldiers who served
in the Indian war Of 1911, and the sur.
viving members Of the Seneca Indian
nation who served in the war Of 1872,
and finally restored to the roll the
names of all persons now surviving,
which were stricken therefrom by the
act Of 1862. Payment Of the pensions
is to be resumed from the passage of
the bill.

FRANCES RHAT.Is.IT.

The Versailles Assembly was elected
nearly, four years ago, or February,
1871, and has lived longer than any
previous French Legislature born In
stormy and revolutionary times. IN
willing to reate a republic, powerless to
establish a monarchy, it hit upon new
form Of government called "Septen-
nat" and which, translated, means ga
little Of everything all at once. The
members thought they could do that,
as the instructions they received at the
polls were pieces of snow-white paper.
Having made peace, paid the indemni-
ty, and freed the soil and given birth
to the Septennat, they don't want to
90 home until the morning after a
nights Jolly spree with a couple or so
of crowned heads In the stiff old palace
of Louis QuatOrze, hard by. Some of
their constituents are looking on,
meanwhile, ike enraged sheep; others
laugh, and others, again, would like to
hold candles at the feast, whenever it
should come off.
