sMTHE GLORIOUS RAIN.-We feel like
toing into rhapsodies over the glorious
rain which has fallen SO plenteously dur
ing the past week. The storm set in in
rood earnest on Monday afternoon and
between that time and Wednesday morn
ing 2.44, inches Of rain fell. The long
period which had elapsed since rain had
fallen with the exception of the storm of
the 10th left the ground in very dry con-
dition and the water which had begun to
start tho gulches went rapidly down.
With the usual amount of rain fall for
December and January such a storm ms
Sthat of Monday and Tuesday would have

the streams was very small. 1t COM

The Richmond correspondent of the New


York Herald says:
1.-THE danger to the conservative organization
in Virginia lies in the standing menace of an In
dependent movement which msy possibly take
place when the convention meets IN August next
tonominate candidate for Governor. Its leaders
and prominent men assert that they have no
apprehension on this score but the tone OF the
rural press Of the State plainly indicates that
such movement is contemplated either by one
of tho many candidates named for tho romins-
ton, or by some as yet unnamed candidate.
In the opinion of many shreWd politicians such
movement IS this could be given shape, strength
and character by a new, judicious and liberal
distribution of the Federal Offices in this State
among class of leading Virginians who WELD
q strong influence among tho voters Of both races
and thus create what might be called in the fall
campaign an, administration party. Nearly all
the Federal Offices are still held by the Blaine
politicians who under the leadership Ct james
II. Piatt constituted three fourths of tho mombe
of the Lynchburg convention in April, twelve
months ago, whom tho party met to nominate
delegates to Cincinnati. SO far tho administra.
ton has displayed good deal of wisdom in its
slow and deliberate manner of making appoint
ments to Office, and tho hopo still prevails that
when the appointments arc made still wiser
discrimination will be mado in the selection of
the appointees."
We have no fear whatever Of the success Of
an independent movement in Virginia next
fall, and but little idea that any such move
ment will be even attempted. lndopendcntlsm
10 this State is 80 near akin to radicasm that
the antipathy in which the latter is held so
blinds the voters that it is almost impossible
for them to distinguish the difference, or, if
perchance they arc able to draw the line OF de-
marcalion, that line changes its position so Often,
according az the chances Of SUCCESS pale or
brighten, that there is 90 faith 10 its c0nstancy,
and an independent is looked upon as radical,
aud not blessing, 10 disguise. And then too,
the correspondent idea concerning the strength
and character that would be given to such a
movement by the judicious distribution of the
federal offices in the State is altogether errone-
Gus, that is if VIC are to judge by such judicious
distribution 10 the future as has characterized
it 10 the past. No, Virginia is conservative
State, aud will remain so at least until after
the inauguration Of a democratic President.
Pierpont, Wells and Underwood within her
borders, and Grant as her Caesar, have given
her such dread OF radicalism and oil its varia-
tons that she becomes alarmed at its faintcst
appearance, and would as soon think Of warm
lug an asp in her bosom as OF entrustiug her
honor and welfare to radical or his other self,
an independent. ... &C..
