Judge Stevens Case.

The opiou IN the Senate in regard to the
proper procedure in the case of Judge Stevens
is very much divided. A plumber of Senators
think he must be impeached. and the matter
tried by the Senate while others are of opin-
ion that he can BE- removed by joint resolution,
as is proposed by the House. Io fact, on the
motion to refer to the Judiciary Committee,
there was tie vote, and Lieutenant. Governor
Thomas gave the casting vote in favor of a
reference.
II seems to be generally conceded, however,
that if he is impeach"d he will be acquitted,
because his alleged of nee is not high crime
or such crimioal misdemeanor as is meant in
the constitution.
When the House joint resolution came up in
the Senate oD Monday, fixing the 23rd inst.
for the consideration of the charges against
him, Mr.. Smith moved to refer the resolutions
to the Committee fur Courts of Justice.
Mr. QlcseDberry called the attention of the
Senate to the fact that the session Of the
General Assembly had been extended thirty
days, auO ludt ouuPe O;eFeuS was 10 nave

WEDNESDAY. MARCH l, 1876.

Never before, since the organization OF the
Cor sentative party 10 the State, have unity OF
purpose and harmony of action been more ur-
gently required than they will be in the cleo
tions preceding the Presidential canvass; and
when the importance of the result OF that can
vass to our people is considered, we have an abd.
log hope, land almost an assurance, that personal
jealousies and selfish ambition will be, at least
for this one time, made subordinate to the
general welfare. When the existing radical
blight.upon the country shall be removed, and
the affairs OF the United States again become
prosperous under Democratic administration,
will be the time for the settlement of minor
difficulties, but until that coosummation, SO
devouty to be wished, shall become fact, lei
every man who is opposed to radical nisrule
sink selfish ends and exert all bis efforts to secure
its accomplishment. In this connection, We
quote the excellent remarks of the Richmond
Dispatch of yesterday, IS follows:
The Wing Of yesterday, in an editorial! lead
er, says:
Prior to convention it is every Conserva-
tive's liberty TO advocate the cause OF his spe
cial favorlte; but the majority having spoken
10 the manner and mode provided by the par
ty ITSELF through its accredited representatives,
the nominee should be Invariably supported,
even though far less acceptable personally than
q rival who is independent of the organization.
''Tbis is plain and positive. 1t is Dot coosls
tent With the Wings conduct 10 the past, but
we take it as an earnest of the Whig's rule 10
the future, and We join it heart and hand. The
Conservative party must be united, and com,
pact, and triumphant, or 1t must be DIVIDED
discordant, and defeated. We all know why
the Conservative party was organized, aud we
know that it saved Virginia 1t must be cher
shed for its services, and it must Dc vigorous
ly maintained to protect the State 1t has saved.
There are disappointed aspirants who are DOW
eagerly watching for weak point 10 its fortl
fcatious wherein to enter aud routlt. We can
only defeat these By standing firm and united,
making DO terms with deserters, making DC
concessions to those who would use the party
for their own promotion, or fly to the arms Of
the ensnies OF the party--aye, and OF society
itself-for aid aud succor.
