II we are not mistaken the result Of the
military strategy Of the vindictiye Radical
Federal Executive in time of profound
peace may be illustrated by one Of ZE-
TELLE's stories. The "immortal" chef de
cuisine states that an enemy who cherished
deep hatred for him stepped unobserved
behind him while at work at his table, and
aimed vigorous blow at him with cary
ing-knife. The would-be assassin drew
back the weapon too far, and directed it so
blndly that it struck his own body and was
buried several inches in the fleshy part Of
his own rear. The narrator Of the story is
full OF dramatic genius, and when he tells it
the nearer shudders. Now, GRANT draws
the sword to plunge it into the very heart
OF the nation, and we verify believe he
will only plunge it into the body OF his own
party G..'1-. /.

The Agricultural Society.

III
The State Agricultural Society did n very
wise thing on Thursday night when II
elected Major A. H. DREwRy, Of Charles
City county, to the office Of president. He
will make an energetic and practically wise
officer. We think it is a dangerous thing
generally to undertake to say what sort of
an officer man ecill make. It Is not safe
often to; 20 further than to speak Of what
a man has done, leaving people to form their
own expectations Men are SO. uncertain.
This fact Is proved in the matter OF naming
children after the living, who 80 often be-
fore they die astonish their acquaintance
by acts OF dishonor and faithlessness, There
are about million OF people who are thus
made to bear names OF which they are
ashamed. II @ta% t.5'@' tEs
But we make no hazard concerning our
prophecy as to the administrative abilities
OF. g Gus DREwRY," for thus the friends OF
his youth still name him. He has the re-
markabie quality OF adapting his practice to
circumstances He was amongst the ear
Hest to accommodate himself with wonder
ful success to the social revolution which
fell upon this devoted land; and he has also
proved bis entire freedom from that sort Of
old fogyism which restraints q man from
making improvements in his line OF bust
ness available, and makes him hold on to
old ideas and modes and implements.
Major DREwRY allows no good thing to
escape his observation, and hissagacity is so
much stronger than his prejudice that
the latter never ignores what the former
approves. His fine MISSIONER farm is the
proof Of both his skill and his energy, and
his promptness to keep up with the adj
vancements in his pursuit. Werepeat that
he viii make.a good officer Of the Society.
Should TILDEN be elected, the wise policy
of that truly honest and patriotic man will
do that for Virginia which, with Major
DREwRY's assistance IN his office as the local
president of the Virginia farmers, will put
bright and prosperous face upon affairs in
the Old Dominion. F.'
Colonel KNIGHT retires with credit for
having been during his term very efficient
officer .

General DGBSEY III. MAURY, on Thursda

General D1BSEY II. MAURY, on Thursday
night, at the meeting Of the Southern His
torical Society, stated that the Count OF
Paris had transmitted fifty dollars for the
Society, with the request that he be made q
life member Of, it. General MAURY said that
the Count had written history Of the war
damaging to the South, and hoped that he
might rewrite. it to correct errors he had
fallen into. We onot suppose the Count
erred Intentionally, nor do we suppose for a
moment that General MAURY has any such
idea. The tone Of the Counts history shows
him to be On earnest and consideratc gen.
tleman. Wehave no doubt he will readily
do.what he can to correct any error that he
has made. 80.

The AMENDMENTs.-The Virginia Patron
takes up the amendments one by one, and
considers them, and winds up as follows:
The ninth and last amendment is the most
pernicious Of the series. 1t reads as follows:
"The Legislature shall have power, to pro-
vide for the government Of cities and towns,
and to establish such courts therein as may
be necessary for the administration OF JUS
tee" The meaning of this is that partisan
Legislature may at any time defeat the will
OF the people Of a city or town and de-
prive them OF the right OF self-government,
by changing its charter and forcing on it
government hostile to q majority OF the
legal voters. We shall always respect Coy
ernor Kemper for his manly veto OF the
Petersburg charter, and see no reason now
why the people Of Virginia should give
their sanction to such partial legislation and
at the same time incorporate in their organic
law a provision which may in the sequel
prove to them two-edged sword. II all
the other. amendments were acceptable this
ninth offers an insuperable objection to the
whole 81. -.s.,. s.-" -. ill.,. q

Republicans is improving daily. Colonel

when Tilden used to send him words OF

Let There be No Rest.

There must be no rest for freemcn until
the sun goes down on Tuesday next next,
Every man must do his duty. The question
Ia more critical than that OF life or death.
st is liberty or despotism. No man who
loves liberty and appreciates the grandeur
OF true personal independence would mis-
take the imminent character OF astruggle in
which they are imperilled. tgea
There could be no rest for such man In
struggle Of this kind. He not only looks
upon 1t as one involving. his own dearest
Interests and rights, but one that involves
the fate OF the country in q vital manner,
his duty to his country, always higher
than his duties OF q personal nature, demands
the devotion OF all his influence and all his
energies to the protection OF the State from
the great evil of corrupt misgevernment
and tyranny. g
The DAYS are few and the demand upon
us all urgent. No man should shirk duty
at time like this. In all the counties Of
the State those who hold the posts Of cleo
tors and canvaSsers, and those who do not.
should devote themselves to spreading in
formation and bringing out the voters.
That the State will so for TiLDEN we all
know. But there is great virtue in big ma
iorities now. Our trouble in the future
will be lessened by big majority. Crush
the hopes of the thieves and vultures by
showing that they have no chance. They
will then leave us and go where they may
find new fields for plumber and outrage. ~
Let us, especially in this district, give a
large majority to GILBERT c. WALKER. This
is the metropolitan district. Here there is
more wealth than in other parts Of the State.
Radical power never fails to impair credit
and prosperity wherever it appears. II it is
permitted to rear its head here there will be
great injury done to property and credit,
and, furthermore, an example given that
will do more to impair the strength OF Con
servatism in the State than anything tina,
could happen. .'s.@l
A big majority for TILDEN here and ir

Exactly Right.

The Halifax Record states that a white
man named GrNTHER was whipped at Hall
fax Courthouse for stealing chickens, and
that man ought never to be permitted to
vote again. What sort OF claim to partici-
patton in the matter Of governing the coun-
try has chicken-thief y? It's an insult
to the people entitled to vote that they
should march up to the polls with chicken
thieves and sheep-stealers.
Whipping and Acknowledgement are the
true means Of putting check to petty lar
ceny. Indeed, we think the range OF petty
larceny should be greatly widened, and the
punishment of whipping should be annexed
to all cases so included in the range OF petty
larceny. There is strong ground for be-
lieving that there has been something very
much like failure in the penitentiary sys-
TEN. As reformatory" the institution
affords no compensation adequate to the
burthens it imposes upon society. The
whipping-post is better than the peniten-
tiary. There are hundreds in our peniten-
tiary that would have been hotter whipped.
The State would have been saved the cX-
penditure of feeding them. and they would
have been kept in check by the fear OF pun
ishment instead Of being sent 10 the "peni-
tcntial" university, there to graduate in
crime, to be turned out as hardened villains
to pursue their career Of robbery and out
rage, and OF murder, whenever that occurs
as incidental to their lesser crimes. e..
II the fear of Acknowledgement cannot
keep man from stealing he can have no
sense of pride that could suffer much from
"good dressing" ..s

The Military Strategy.

The Radical party are evidently relying
upon the introduction OF the military force
into the southern States as the only and the
sure means to elect HAYES. The idea is
that the presence Of soldiers will enthuse
the negro voters who would vote for
HAYEs-or the destructive tickct-in any
case, and will so intimidate those negroes
who meant to vote the Democratic ticket
that they will all vote with the Radicals.
This is all they hope to do. c., to make
Is solid'' the negro vote and thus more COM
pletely to establish that color line which
Radicalism and fanaticism are ever deplor-
ing in their hypocritical rant. The white
vote they cannot disturb. Soldiers are
friends OF the white people, and display no
unkindness towards them. The presence
of these soldiers is what is counted upon to
work upon the negro. = ~.
But the military argument at the polls
so hostile to every principle OF liberty and
to the spirit and letter OF the Constitution
has not been employed without hesitation
and doubt. Even in the case of South Car
DINA GRANT was not so sure but that he re-
quired much consultation with the law
officer of the Government, who, like others
OF the legal profession who have his conf
dence, has not enough law and Of the high
honor of the profession to deter him from
advising an act for party good clearly in
violation of the Constitution. In, other
States the appeal to the Federal force for
protection has not been so persistently
urged, and we have seen no public accounts
showing that any considerable numbers OF
soldiers have been sent to any OF them.
The election will show what effect
GRANTS attempt to carry elections by mill
tary force will have in South Carolina. We
are not sure that even in that State the re-
suits hoped for by the President will be ac-
complished. The canvass had been pro-
crossing for long time, and the colored
people had been arrayed with great spirit
and devotion with the parties they meant to
vote with. Whether the strategy Of the
Radicals could compel them, like sheep, to
run into the Radical, fold, remains to be
seen. str -sEgpa Eftttst i
we are certain OF one thing, that the APP
pealt to arms to decide the question of the
presidency must operate most unfavorably
to the Radicals, If, indeed, there be enough
of virtue and intelligence amongst the peo-
pie of the North to arouse just indigna-
tion at the tyranny In the South that may at
amy time be visited upon the North. A
President put in office by the sword, and
the Republic is gone. When the people
submit to that they are not I'll. iorrepublican
