The Dissatisfied Democracy

1t is astonishing that so many Demo,
cratic citizens Of the United States should
be FESTIVE and illtempered under the
deliberate frauds by which they have beer
deprived of pacific victory honestly Won

which to express their amazement at 81
much heat and at such strong language
We can think of only one parallel for theil
present state of mind When the sailor,
of Vasco de Cana, landing on a South
African coast, espied some strange ami
mails TRANQUILITY summing themselves or
the beach, they went up and with sword,
and other provocative instruments stirred
the creatures up. The creatures, being
stirred up, showed their teeth. and be

YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION MOVE
MENTS-THE COL0IED PEOPLES SPIRITUAL
lMPEovEMENT-THE POOR, &c.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
FEBRUARY g, 1877.
The Young Mems Christian Association
here has appointed committee to find out
what can be raised by individual contribu-
tons OF the members towards paying the
salary OF State secretary, as recommended
BY the State Convention at Petersburg.
During the debate on the question Mr..
g. VI. Harrison remarked that the PROPOSE
ton OF the Richmond Association to pay
half OF the salary and retain the secretary
in Richmond one half OF the year was more
show than reality Of libcrality. EX-
President Ransom and Dir. Heber Ker de-
tended the Richmond Association from any
suspicion Of illiberality, the former re-
marking that "therc was not one narrow
thought in the head OF Colonel Munford,"
who had been most instrumental in origi-
mating the proposal II the committee re-
port enough individual contributions the
stanton Association will then pledge itself
for its share Of the salary. 4 resolution
was adopted endorsing the necessity Of
State secretary.
The ministers and Sunday-school teachers
Q; the colored churches have taken into
consideration the proposition OF the Young
Mems Christian Association hero to assist
them by opening a normal Sabbath school,
for the training and instruction Of Sunday
school teachers The schools were visited
last Sunday morning by committee OF the
whites, and with the consent Of the pastors
OF the churches the matter was explained.
Al! seemed to take it in eagerly, though
there Is undoubtedly little leaven OF sus-
picion in the congregations as to whether
there is not some sort Of snare behind it.
The free lunch.room is In its second week
OF successful career. Mrs. j. c. Marquis
and Mrs. J. Nj. Carroll are the managers this
week. 1t is a noticeable fact that seven out
Of ten persons relieved are whites.
The hermit Isaac Rich, who was arrested
near Waynesboro' last week on requisition
ilom President MacMahon, Of France, was
married man, and had been appointed the
principal Of charity school in Montbeland.
He debauched several OF the girls, and the
mother OF one OF the girls died Of shame
and grief.
The funeral OF Mrs. S. A. Richardson,
wife Of Rev. w. #. Richardson, took place
at the Waynesboro' Presbyterian church
TUESDAY. Her husband was pastor OF this
church for twenty years. The crowd in at
tendance was very large. Professor Henry
Estill, Of Randolph Macon College, q
nephew OF the deceased, was among the
, mourners present.
The City Council Tuesday night adopted a
resolution to build new City Hall on
Beverly street opposite the Lutheran
church. 1t will cost about $4,000, and
bids viii shortly be advertised for.
