The less Secretary Sherman has to
say in defence Of the Louisiana frauds
and in denunciation of the Congress
sional inquiry the better for him. Mr.
Sherman's assurance that there was no
fraud carries no weight whatever. 1t
is simply the plea of not guilty which
he is expected to make, and whether
this plea be finally accept ed or not, 1t
is wholly unnecessary for him to
abuse the court which is expected to
try the issue. Mr.. Sherman should
haze thought about ''revolution"
when he was in Louisiana in the win
ter Of 1876 [Phi!adelph.a Times.
The cyclone in Wisconsin last Fri
day was fearful. The storm COM

The invaidism of DR.. Die Lewis
will be apt TO disturb the faith OF any
converts that he may have made in

the Doctor has lost his vital resources
through other influences than n scant
diet, but if bis mode OF life, which
was a reduction to 4 minimum OF sim
plicity if not to absurdity, would not
keep him sound and healthy past the
usual period of surrender, then why
should those who have been used TO
generous living torsake their ways
when perchance they run as great
risks of paralysis 10y reformation as
of apoplexy aud govt by persisting in

The Governors veto is ahead of us,
arri while the Elective seems very
anxious that a settlement should be
reeched at once, yet he and the Gener-

MEASURE and manner of such settle

Ex-Gov. FooTE has his tody at
last. He came near slipping up on
Hayes, but the Returning Boards
saved him, and now, as he turns the
SOth mile post of life, he turns up
as the accuser of the party which,
for many years Of the brightest pc
riod Of American glory, he declaro
ed to be the outgrowth of colonial
wisdom and virtue. He gets the
position CT Superintendent of the
New Orleans Mint. We can spare
Gov. Foote. He always seemed to
lack local allegiance of any sort
1t was of no use that Tennessee and
Mississippi and California conferred
upon him their highest honors.-
One by one he left them, and when
at last they ceased to regard HIM as
of any use IN their political ma
chinery, he grew again restless ard
charged as incompetent and unfit
for public trust the great party
which had put its honors on him.
We do not object to his spoon in
the public dish at this time. He
can be fed for only a few more
years at best, and as Hayes has fed
all who served him on the Return
ing Boards let him put Foote where
he will lose the incentive for abuse
and can bring to quiet close a life
that mostly by its turbulence has
had its fame.

Much harsh criticism has been
INDUCED in toward the 9 promi-
nent Doctors of Divinity, who
signed the paper of the 80. They
are, Rt. Rev. Bishop Whittle, DIR.
Peterkin, DR.. Hoge, DR.. Jeter,
DR.. Curry, DR.. Broadus, DR..
Reade, DIR. Edwards and Rev. II.
M. Jackson. The character OF
these gentlemen is such as to pre-
clude with us any idea of inten-
tional wrong, but we are compelled
to regard their participation in the
matter as a most serious blunder
The scope of the article is regard
ed as offensive. 1t charges that
certain parties have deceived the
people as to the amount of the
debt and the increase necessary to
pay it. 1t assumes that we can
pay it all and that it is dishonest
not to do it. 1t puts the necessary
increase of taxation at only 20
cents, and it at least, by very
strong implication, conveys the
idea that opposition to their scheme
ought to, and does stamp those en-
gagged in it with dishonesty. The
new Message of Gov. Holiday con-
tradicts all these assumptions and
allegations in the most marked
and official manner, and leaves the
SO gentlemen, including the 8 Drs.,
Of course in a very bad light as po-
litical and moral lights to this por-
ton of the planet.
We bet these gentlemen will
never do so again.

seemed almost useless. but it was at

how meekly horse will submit to
punishment while his nose is being
twitched. He could not move, but
called for Conductor Fairfax. who
asked the lady the cause of her con-
duet, for she continued to slap his face
in the most merciIess manner, mere
ly replying, "Sir he is my husband

children. / have hunted for him
long and now I've got him." Mr..

in his life--that she had Weakened IN

she declared she had the right man by
the nose and continued TO slap him in
the face and wrench. his nose until
Capt. Fairfax removed her by sheer
force. After some explanations she
resumed her seat and our West Va.
victim in mournful silence leaned his
head against the windows and would
have slept if he could, but he OILY

RICHMOND. Dec, 8. 1873


Scarcely anything has been develop
ed by the two Houses since my last
letter. The committee unnecessarily
commissioned to determine the status
of the session held one meeting and
simply reported the session a cOnstitu-
tional one and that it is inexpedient to
legislate further on the subject. The
report is now before the Senate.
Senator Bradley r. Johnson's Joint
Resolution for joint special commit
tee to investigate the case in which
Judge Rives took from the State Courts
to the u. s. Court negro man charged
with numbering a white man in Pat
rick county, because negroes had not
been put on the jury that tried him,
passed the Senate, and failing to pass
the House was sent to the committee
on Federal Relations. OF course. all
that can be done is to give it the con-
domination of the General Assembly,
and to work up the legal view of the
case.
On yesterday Mr.. Popham intro
duced a resolution inviting the repre-
sentaives of the holders of the Pub
lie Debt of Virginia to meet this Gene
raj Assembly during the session for the
purpose of negotiations for settle

G. w. Hammit, who is here as the
representative of Shelby Lodge in the

Messrs. |. f. Jones and B. Baugh, of
Abingdon, were here few days ago,
having brought to the Penitentiary
couple of the recently convicted cattle
thieves.
We have had neither snow nor rain
since my arrival, ana though Bristol
glories in a two inch snow the ground
here is dry and dusty, but the air is

Gless de Lord NTaYsr 'Mmnsey.'

AS the Southwestern members of
the General Assembly passed Wythe-
vile on the grid, quite a number of
them responded to the breakfast bell
at Boyd's Hotel and seated themselves
at the table to await the services of
the servants. A very old and noted
waitress known as "Aunt Mary" in
the discharge of her official functions,
came up to Senator F. and, taking a
good look at him over her spectacleS,
threw up her hands in delightful sur
prise and said "Bless de Lord Marse
