or all the arts known to the race the art
OF housekeeping is beyond dispute the
most useful, and in the practice OF this art
Virginians have always Justly claimed pre-
eminence over the rest Of mankind. 1t can
not be doubted that the skill OF Virginia
housekecpers, more than all else, has pro-
duced race OF men and women most adj
mirable in physique and unparalleled in in
telect, whose brain tissue, the molecular ac-
ton Of which, by late discoveries, consti-
tutes thought, is simply the result OF Flr-
cinia cookery. From the time Captain
JOHN SMITH taught PoCAHoNTAs how to cook
down to this present writing Virginia re-
cipes have struggled for the mastery on
Virginia soil; and now we have the result
in the survival of the fttcst, as is shown in
this admirable collection by Mrs. TYREE
From contributions sent by two hundred
and fifty of Virginia's best housekeepers
this volume has been prepared, and In 1t Is
found the condensed wisdom OF Virgins
women, who have furnished brains to flr-
einia statesmen and warriors. Mrs. TYREE
has done her work well, and her book should
be in every ouschoId-certainly in old Vir'
ginia.

Methodist Quarterly Reuieao for April, 1877
In replying to his reviewers, Mr.. SouTlIAL1

of this controversy, "non nostru,n est tantas

TIE EXECUTIVE CoMMIrTEE.-The Rich
mond Dispatch, il We understand the ques
ton, is clearly right IN its construction Of
the law in reference to the supplying of va
cancies in the Executive State Committee,
The action Of 1876 completely did away
with the plan adopted in 1873, and the au'
thoritv to supply vacancies rests entirely
with General w. b. Taliafcrro, chairman OF
the State organization.
This is not written in opposition to Colo.
mel John Ell. Guy, the new appontee, but
because there is absolute necessity at this
time of acting in accordance with the law,
and the additional fact that latitudinous
construction Of published rules utterly de.
stroys discipline in the body acting, and
creates distrust and want OF confidence in
the people thus loosely governed Norfolk

Ran, fuckers Interview.

The Winchester Times says OF the report
of an interview between RAN. TUCKER and
correspondent Of the Philadelphia North
american, which report we recently repro
duced, that il misrepresented Mr.. TUCKER
in several particulars. We are sorry to
learn that Mr. TUCKER has not expressed
himself in favor OF the TeXas-PacIfc rail-
road, and pleased to hear (what we said at
the time) that he did not declare that law
yer was always only on the side Of his fee.
We wish to say in the most emphatic man.
her to the Times that we appreciate RAN.
TUCKER as highly as it does; that we regard
hun as man Of almost unrivalled ability as
constitutional lawyer; that we admire his
private character; and that we would gladly
see him elected to the highest Office in the
State. We would not do injustice to any
body, high or low, rich or poor. Surely,
then, the Times will not charge us with
uniriendliness " to Mr.. TUCKER because
we let our readers see what certain north
ern papers say concerning him. So far from
feeling any "unfriendliness /" towards Mr.
TUCKER, we thought we were exercising
only a friends privilege when we censured
him, as we did last summer, for indiscreet
utterances in Congress. We verify believe
that declaration Of his as to justices Of the
peace and the mails lost Mr.. TILDEN thou.
sands OF votes in the North. We did right
to censure him; and we shall never fail to
do SO when we think that he deserves
blame. The Dispatch is not published to
puff politicians, nor even to conceal their
faults. We profess to act in the interest OF
the public, and we don't intend to be dere-
lict in our duty.
We say we admire Mr.. fuckers talents,
and take much pride In him as Yirginian.
We have but one single fault to point out
in him. We fear that he is not practical
statesman. II this be SO it follows that he
Is too much OF an abstractionist; that he
will "cayil upon the ninth part OF q hair y:
that he dwelis too far above the earth. We,
have feared that his ante-bellum notions had
survived the war, and that he was opposed
to internal improvements By the General
Government: to appropriations for rivers
and harbors; for constructing the Texas
Pacific railroad for deepening James river;
&C., &c. The little editorial references
Which we have made to him were intended
to serve notice upon him, az we now do,

hone OF being elected senator, has now, IL
is said, given in his full adhesion, anu mas
promised to contribute 100000 to sustain
Packard It Ia ascertaincd that Warmoth
and Mcmillan are responsible for the re1ec-
ton of the Nichols proposition Dy the
Packard Legislature, as Packards influence
alone would not have been sufficient.
Warmoth and Mcmillan went to bargain
that the one shall be senator and the. otner
collector OF tho port. The Conservatives
nositiyely refuse to make any such arrange
,nnnts with Warmoth, but they consider II
no concern OF theirs il the President chooses
to appoint Mcmillan. Warmoth came INTO
tbc rotunda OF the st. Charles Tonight ana
|.ieerinsl asked whether the troops had been
removed. ,,
The commission are again brought to
standstill. Tonight they sent another long
cipher dispatch to the President acqualnt-
ing him with the facts and asking for fur-
Their advice. Governor Brown said to-
night that the commission Had gone to the
extreme verge Of their authority in the en-
deavor to secure compromise, but they
could take no part in urging an adjust
ment OF the Legislature by which sena-
tor was to be bargained for in adj
vance. This disposes entirely OF the
widely-circulated statement that one OBJ
iect OF the commission was to secure he.
publican senator. The main hope now OF
the Packard people is to delay settlement
until the meeting Of Congress-, when they
expect great things from the Blalnes, the
Mortons, &c.
The position is now advanced that even
should Packards Legislature dissolve II
will not affect his rights, or the other state
officers Of his government, and they VIII
maintain the contest to the last.
