LUMBER, good lumber, though
plentiful in our market, is increasing
in demand almost daily. To meet
this increase needed in repairing and
building, we suggest that the two
large Saw Mills, of which j. Levin
is Agent, are turning out daily thou
sands of feet of the finest and best
lumber ever offered in Alexandria,
and that he is fully prepared to fill
all bills entrusted to him. Aside
from this his Lumber Yard in Town
is always supplied with all kinds Of
lumber, where moderate bills can be
filled at minutes warning.

GOOD WORDS.

The New Orleans Democrat, who's,

ration and so called policy, rather in
clined and sided with Mr.. Hayes ant
said some rather flattering bon mot
in his favor, has for some two
months opened his eyes to the true
situation and has recently unlim
bered his pen editorially against tn,

Hayes pool, and denounced it all the
time, and we are now rejoiced to no

"the President and his policy -
which we deem true and right to the

following terse and truthful words:
"The President and his friends I'm.
derstand this fully as we'll as we do.
We shall not, therefore, trust their
professions Of desire to do justice
to the South, and to tranquilize the
country, until they have exhausted
their influence to secure these States
their representation. Nor will we be
content if, under the pretext of ac-
cording Louisiana that right, they
admit to the Senate, as her represen-
tive, a cringing, crawling creature
without honesty, and without shame;
a pretender, alien to her soil, and an
enemy to her interests and her honor;
a rascal who stinks in the nostrils of
her people, and who could not pass
through the State, OF which he
claims to be Senator, without hav-
ing the finger of hate and scorn poin.

During the last campaign it was
told to the colored people that if the
Democrats got into power in this
State they would cut off all facilities
for the education of their children
and the charge was strenuously de.
MED and the strongest Of assurances
given that they should be fairly dealt
with by us in the event of our sue,
cess. The public schools of our Pa.
IRISH having now since the opening OF
the new session had time to get
fairly to work, we took occasion last
week to inspect them and we pro-
pose to give the result of our obser-
vations, which we do not pretend
was more than cursory. We found
the colored boys and colored girls
schools in a house of handsome d.
mansions and we'll adapted for the
purpose and which is fac simile in
every respect of the adjoining one &C.
cupied by the white boys and girls.
They are all so arranged with fences
and high walls as to cut off each
school from any kind of intercourse
with the others, and this is as it
should be. The two colored schools
are being taught by the same teach
ers who had their management I'm
der Republican control; A. j. Grin
stead teaches the boys and Mrs.
Grayson the girls, and they seem to
be both qualified for the positions by
their long experience.
In the boys school we heard the
classes in Grammar anG Geography
recite their lessons, and we were sur
prised to see their proficiency in
these branches. The colored youth
seems to be endowed by nature with
fine memory and they retain what
they once learn seemingly without an
effort. The first class of the boys
school are accomplished gramma-
rians so far as thorough knowledg e
of all it's rules and definitions go, and
we had no little curiosity to see how
they could apply that knowledge
when their teacher gave them verse
of poetry to parse, which they COM
planned they had not had time to
study at all. We are pleased to be
able to say that they acquitted them
selves with much credit. In Geog-
raphy they were even more proficient
and could rattle off boundaries, CAPT
tails. rivers, lakes, etc., Of the United
States very rapidly and with great
accuracy. That their light may not
be hid under bushel we give the
names Of Grinstead's first class:-
Frank Cokely, Harry Elgee and
Manuel.
We were SO much taken up in this
department that when we went into
the next school, Mrs. Grayson's, the
evening exercises were nearly con
cluded. However, we had an oppor-
tunity of hearing some of her scho-
lars reciting their pieces from the
rostrum and we were impressed with
the manner in which several of them
were delivered. One little colored
girl recited "The Psalm of Life"
with such force and emphasis as
showed she had no small apprecia-
ton of the beauties and rhythm Of
that most exquisite poem. The per-
formances of all of them were much
better than we were prepared to ex-
pect and reflects credit upon Mrs.
Grayson. We came away highly
pleased.

fisheries dispute Is unsettled, and 80 are
many matters which will require to he
handled more or less by the man who holds
the position. Mr.. WELSH is seventy years
of age, and proudly claims that he is not
and never has been politician, and never
held anything except local Offices in Phila-
delphia. This constitutes tho ch cf argu-
ment that he is utterly unfit for the place
he is nominated to fill Men do not begin
to study profession when they are seven
ty, and certainly the management OF diplo-
matte affairs between two great nations is II
duty that at least requires some preparation.
A clumsy Minister TO England during the
war might have brought on recognition
of tho Contederacy, and possibly
war between the two nations. IL
will be argued that there is now no
such oncrous duties to lie performed, and
that anybody will do for the place who is
thoroughly respectable. Such reasoning is
illlaciouS in the highest degree, and should
be hoolcd out of the Senate. Nobody will,
or should, do ior such position unless he
is fit TO cope with questions that are
likely to arise. 1t would be very humili-
ating in case of @ny unookcd-ior trouble
with England, to bo obliged to recall our
Minister because he did not know enough
to be trusted with any serious duties. The
public welfare demands that the man who
occupies such a station shall he n representa-
tive statesman, and President Hayes should
be ashamed Of putting forward for the place
man who might make n good Treasurer
of the United States, but who is as ignorant
OF diplomacy and international law as Presi-
dent Hayes is of sugNr-dcaling. He is con-
fessedly respectable and rich. Simply that

A Boomerang.

A mean action almost always recoils upon
its perpetrator, on the principle that "cprses,
like young chickens, come home to roost"
The principle of retribution which Mr.
SUMNER had a graceful way Of character
izing as poetic justice" has been remark
ably eXemplitled in the case of the removal
of the State capital of Georgia from the
city Of Milledgeyille to Atlanta. The cir
cumstances which led to that event are
substantially these: During the early part
of the session OF the State constitutional
convention, which met in Milledegvillc in
1867, to frame new constitution for tie
State, 1t was ascertained that u consider
able number of Radicals were of tho
body, and Of course they came twiXt
the wind and the nobility of the
rebs In very disagrecable manner. In view
Of that fact, the male and female boal alding-
house keepers held a public meeting under
the lead and patronage of the Democrats OF
the city, and solemnly resolved that they
would not furnish board and lodging to any
Radical member Of the convention. This
starvation prospect made it necessary that
the convention should adjourn to some other
place. The people of Atlanta, hearing OF
this unfortunate condition of affairs, ten.
dered their sympathies and kind eflices to
the convention. 1t adjourned to meet in
Atlanta, where the body was welcomed with
open arms and made perfectly at home and
comfortable.
In forming the new constitution clause
was inserted designating Atlanta as the
future capital of the State That city con
tributed the full expense of removing tn,
archives from Milledgeville to their future
home, it ceded ten acres of land to the State
as capitol site, and appropriated SlOO,OOl
for temporary edifce to be used for a cap
tol building.
Under the new Southern policy of thu
administration the Radicals" us the Re
publicans are termed in Georgia, hav,
pretty much disappeared and now th'
people Of Milledgeville arc straining every
effort to get the capital back. And whcl
they succeed, may it do them much pooi
