the Mayor OF Staunton punished an innocent

Death of Ex-Goy. Joe Johnston,

Ex-Governor Joseph Johnston died at
bridgeport, Harrison county, West Virginia,
on the Goth ult. He was born In the State
Of New York in 1885, and was consequently
in his 82d year at his death. he moved to
Virginia in 1901. BE was an entirely self.
made man, mis- parents being poor and hard
working people. lie took the first company
from Northwestern Virginia into the war OF
1919, serving at Norfolk, Va, with his COM
pany as captain until the close of the war.
lie represented Harrison county in the Vir-
ginla Legislature Il Number Of years, and
served fourteen terms in Congress, com
mencing with the eighteenth Congress, and
1t Is believed was the last survivor of that
Congress. He was twice elected Governor
OF Virginia; first; under the Constitution Of
1929, he WAS chosen by the Legislature, and
next, Under the new Constitution Of 1851.
WAS the first Governor elected by the people.
He was always a democrat, though opposed
to secession in 1861, but went with the State
when coercion was attempted by the Federal
Government. He had lived in Bridgeport.
where he died, for more than serenity years.
His wife died some twenty years since. He
leaves fire children and number of grand
children and great grandchildren Col Jno.
A. English, formerly OF this city, married one
OF his daughters, and was his Private Secre-
tary during his Gubernatorial term under the
Constitution adopted in 1850. His life, boil,
private and public. was singulary pare. No
suspicion Of impurity ever attached to his
long and useful career. Up 20 his last hour
his mental faculties were bright and unim-
paired. His views OF State policy were COM
prei.ensiye aud stalesmn!ike. aud his public
career a record OF integrity and devotion to
duty rarely met with.

The Whig OF Monday last is much more
moderate in the spirit that pervades its edi-
torials 1t ROW consents to give President
Hayes fair trial, and is willing to lay aside
partizan prejudice In considering the acts Of
his administration. We thought the exuoer-
ant anger OF our contemporary would tone
down, after the immediate effects of It's dis
appointment had subsidized. The temper Of
the article If Monday was reasonably ,nod-
crate, and we hope the same sense OF justice
will control its course hereafter. We con-
fess our qualification at the conservative tone
generally of the democratic press, and trust
that disposition will be cultivated to Judge
the administration OF the President fairly
and Justly, and without partizan prejudice.
We Of the South surely have had enough Of
partizan bitterness. Let US try more IA
tiOnal course, and see whether we cannot
get along better under the influence Of Il
kindlier and more catholic sentiment.

CAPlTA1IoN TAx.-Wr are Indebted To
the Hon. John Letche-. Of the House of De-
lcgates, for Il copy OF a commune from
the Auditor al Public Accounts In response
to a Ss,nate resolution calling for statement
concerning capitatioa tax Tor the year 1875.
From II we learn that Augusta had 1853

Those who DO not wish to be deprived of the
elective franchise, must see to it that their
capitation tax is paid, and that they have
the proper certificate to show this fact.

On Thursday last there were only twelve
dollars and fifty cents in the State Trea-
sury at Richmond, and the Governor, as
stated By 3 metropolitan contemporary, was
using his best enaeavors to borrow from the
banks OF Richmond enough to pay the cur
rent expenses Of government, including the
per diem Of the Legislature. VIII the peo-
pie please make note Of this? The Legis-
lature has been in session ninety days, at .
per diem cost Of from twelve to fifteen hum
dred dollars, and has not passed single
measure OF general utility. The Golfers Of
the State have been practically cmpted TO
pay for idleness and dissipation. while the
people are selling off their property to meet
the demands Of the tax gatherers to repitn-
ish the Treasury to meet further require
ments OF similar character. Instead OF per-
forming the work that was necessary to be
done, the Legislature has idled away ninety
days, and now has determined upon All extra
session OF thirty days, In order to complete
that which should have been finished sixty
days ago. All this time the people haze TO
pay each member at the rate Of six dellars Il
day for doing absolutely nothing, and even
worse than nothing. How long must the
sweat ard toll of the State be thus abused
and outraged? 1t Is for the people rhrm
selves to determine.
