VIRGINIA has gotten the reform ever,
and, as usual, when she makes up her
mind to do anything, she proposes to in
dulge in no half way measures. Several
constitutional amendments have been
just passed by the State Legislature pro-
viding that the number Of members of
each branch shall be reduced that the
members shall be paid fixed salary in
stead of per diem; that the Legislative
sessions shall be biennial instead of an
nual as at present; that no person shall
vote who docs not pay his poll tax, and
that all persons convicted of any crime
from petit larceney up to the higher de-
grees shall be DISTINGUISHED. These
amendments will be submitted to the
people to be voted upon next Fall.

DISSATISFIED.

Ex-Governor STEVENSON is out OF
humor with the Administration for re-
moving Capt. RAMsDELI, special post
efice detective, and appointing Mr..
SHALLcRoss in his place. He thinks
that it was great outrage upon the
Republican party Of West Virginia in
not appointing Republican to fill the
place, but can see nc reason, in the arst
place, why RAMsDELL should have been
removed. He thinks the appointment
of SHALLcRoss is a political blunder
thrown upon the Republican party to
discourage, thwsrt and perplex them in
their fight "with the world, the flesh,
Bourbons, WALKER and the devil. The
odds have been rather against US. be-
cause the last two named have been
rather numerous"
The Governor in his paper, the State
Journal, goes on to say:
"Tte real perpetrstor OF this Outrage
is not the Postmaster General 50 much
as q certain subordinate of his, who Is a
Democrat in disguise, and is quietly and
cunningly performing these acts not only
in West Virginia, but wherever ne can
stick them in"
That disguised subordinate seems to be
a troublesome fellow in the Radical
camp. Perhaps he isthe same individ-
al that ferreted out the whisky frauds
and other little Irregularities IN the va
rious departments. II So, kick him out,
for it would be an outraSe on the Re-
publican party to have q man in their
service who is continually telling "tales
out of school," Such thing is utterly
inconsistent with Republican ideas of
party management. If GRANT don't
quit making appointments upon the rec
ommepdation of disguised Democrats,
he will shock the delicate organism Of
West Virginia Republicans to such an
extent that collapse will result which
will prove destructiye to the platform of
seven planks on which they stand, to- wit;
two loaves and five fishes.

JUST 100 YEARS AGO.

Mr.. Editor-I took down to-day Cyclic
paedia of American literature and casually
opened to an encomium and panegyric upon
George Washington, written by Philis Wheat
ley, genuine African girl. and published
in the Pennsylvania Magazine or American
Museum for April lT76. The account, az
given, says that Phillis Wheatley 'was
brought from Africa to America in the year
l16l, between seven and eight years of age,
and twas bought in the slave market Of Bos-
ton, where she was selected by Mrs. Wheatley
for her delicate appearance" Thinking il
might interest your readers, possess them with
the privilege Of reading it, and al the same
time illustrate the genius Of this remarkable
authoress, ! send you copy for the Tran
SCRIPT. L. b. j.
HIS ExCELLENCY GEN. WASHINGTON.
Celestial choir enthron d in realms Of light,
Columbia's scenes Of glorious tolls write.
While freedoms cause her anxious breast
alarms,
She flashes dreadful in refulgent arms.
See mother earth her offspring fate bemoan,
And nations gaze at scenes before unknown !;
See the bright beams of Heavens revolving
light,
Involved in sorrows and the veil Of night:
The goddess comes, she moves divinely fair,
Olive and laurel binds her golden hair:
Wherever shines this native Of the skies,
Unnumber d charms and recent graces rise.
Muse bow propitious while my pen relates
How pour her armies through thousand
gates,
As when Eolus heavens fair face defOrms,
Enwrapp'd in tempest and night Of storms !;
Astonish ocean feels the wild uproar,
The refuent surges beat the sounding shore /;
Or thick as leaves in Autumn's golden reign,
Such, and SO many, moves the warriors train.
In bright array they seek the work Of war,
Where high unfurl'd the eLsign waves in air.
Shall to Washington their praise recite?
Enough thou knowest them in the fields Of
fight.
Thee, first in place and honOrs,-we demand
The grace and glory Of thy martial band
Fam for thy valour, for thy virtues more,
Hear every tongue thy guardian aid implore
One century scarce perform'd its destined
round,
When Gallo powers Columbia's fury found !;
And SO may you, whoever dares disgrace
The land Of freedoms Heaven defended race
Fix'd are the eyes of nations on the scales,
For in their hopes Columbia's arm prevails.
Anon Britannia droops the pensive head,
While round increase the rising hills of dead.
All cruel blindness TO Columbia's state
Lament thy thirst of boundless power too
late.
Proceed, great chief, with virtue on thy side,
Thy every action let the goddess guide.
A crown, mansion, and throne that shine,
With gold unfading, Washington be thine.

Italy, peasant whose name was Puccio
d'Aniello. He was funny man, and
a company Of strolling actors asked him
to join them. which be did, and became
quite famous as clown. When be
died another took his name, softened
into Polcenella. and BY the help Of a
mask, kept up the look and manner Of
the droll peasant. Soon bis tricks be-
came so popular that little figures to
represent him were made, and exhibited
in box. In England be was called
Punchinello, or Punch. and bis wife
was called Judy. A farce called Punch
and Judy was written and played in the
theatres. and publication called Punch,
and devoted to fun, has long been pub
lished in London.
