GEN. PRIDlMORE.

Some Of Our exchanges have
dealt hypercritically with General
Pridemore because he failed to
bow down before the white NOUS
tache of Fernando Wood, who, if
we recollect correctly, came with
stained hands from before the
scrubbing committee of the pre-
ceding Congress. This Pacific r.
Il. manipulation had objected to II
resolution introduced by Mr.. Pride,
more, who was due the courtesy
accorded usually to new members,
and when the great Fernando
asked the unanimous Indulgence Of
tho House for similar favor,
Pridemore simply enforced his own
rule against him. Certain wor-
shippers and hangers'on OF this
silver calf have attempted to hack,
with unmcrciful criticism, the
heels of Prdemore because he
dared object to the introduction AT
THAT TIME of Mr.. Woods resolu
ton. Mr.. Wood claims the ge-
neNlogy OF democracy which
dates beyond the war, and also the
benefit Of that democratic strength
which has survived war, pestilencc
and famine, but, really, if he
means to open the halls of Con-
gress to his Southern friends only
to place them in seats ct silence
and means to ovcrawc them by n
surveillance as cruel and relentless
as orr Republican enemies have
exercised toward us at home, we
shall doubt the purity Of his De~
mocracy. The people of this
Ninth District OF Virginia have
made Pridamore the political equal
of Wood, and the white moustacho
of New York cannot lift the
mountainecr from his perch. The
sin imputed to Pridcmoro is that
he does not seal his mouth in the
presence of Fernando Wood. III
this be so, Mr. Prdemore, 60 thou
aud sin more.

The GailOws.

The good old days Of the galows

of Monroe county, Tenn. is to lie
hanged at jacksonville, or the 20 h.,
and thirty days thcrefrom, the 18th
December, Jacob Uarniss is to be
hanged near Clinton, Tenn.
Hunt had young wife whom lie

neighbours house, where he followed
her and broke her arm with a pistol
shot aud left thinking her dead. She
called him back aud said she would
forgive him It he would return, lie

From the Richmond Wing.

Says the State, and we are inclined
to think correctly :
"The FIRST Legi, 'ature under the
amendment will be the Legislature
of '7Y- so. because that will be the
first in which the new districts are to
be represented under the new reap
portionnnent. II so, the first election

he the election Mt which that Legis-
lature is chosen, viz: the election to
be held in November, 1879, because
it follows, from section 3, that the
first vote of new district will be
given at the first election under the
amendment, and the new districts
will vote for the first time in Novem
Der, 1879. Consequently the first BIZ
eunial Legislature under the new
constitution will be the Legislature
of'79-'80,"
The above indicates a coming
debate on the subject indicated and
it indicates very plainly that the
rameYs Of the amendments were
either incompetent or trickey.-
They have given more room for
doubts and conflict CT opinion than
tie remainder of the Constitution.
The poll tax provision is an out
rage which ought to arouse a storm
Of opposition throughout the State
unless the present House and Sem
ate can fence out the fraud ii i'll
vites.
We believe the amendments
were intended to deceive the pco-
pie.

coupled with the certainty that the

On various other grounds besides
those mentioned it il contended that

These are summed up and the court
makes the general answer that the Ob
