The adjournment Of the General Assembly
seems to have afforded general satisfaction to
all who take any interest 10 the welfare Of the
State. They feel relieved Of the dread uodcr
which they labored during the whole session,
and the reaction caused by that relief, and the
knowledge that nearly nine months will elapse
before that dread will take possession Of them
again, elevate their spirits to such an cx'
tent as to almost make them happy. If Con-
gress would only adjourn tho condition Of true
happiness would be appropriated. not only in
Virginia, but throughout the whole country.

AS soon as Governor Holiday was officially
informed Of the Gi.craceful murder OF negro
woman by mob Of ly1chcrs- 10 Rockingham
county he offered reward for the arrest and
c,nvction of the guilty parties. 1t was hoped
that the arrest, at least, Of the criminals would
have been made by the citizens OF the county
10 which the outrage was committed without
waiting for the Governor sac!on 10 the premises.
By summary arresting and committing the
offenders they would have had the proud salts
faction OF removing the evil impression that
had been created concerning the character OF
the people among whom the offence occurred
Unfortunately they have allowed that oppor.
tuoity to pass, and now must be content to
accept the restoration of their good name
from the hands of the State. 1t must be re-
stored, for il the people Of Rockingham can
afford to be heraldel abroad as barbarians, the
peopc of Virginia, of whom they form part,
can not, and 40 efforts must be spared TO re-
move the stain that has been 50 ruthiesl!y and
unnecessarily put upoo them. Northern pa
pers speak Of the constituents OF Southern Con-
grcssmcn as essentially barba'iaus, and say that

tho probable revision of Arlington to its right
full heirs, the New York Herald says:
1T is iocouoeivablc that son Of Gen. Lee

Gen. Ice never did, could or would, Insist
on violating any hallowcd or uuhallowed graves.
All ho wants is fair price for the value Of his
property, and there is not a man north Of Mason
and Dxon's line who, if he owned Arlington,
would not demand more for it than Gen. Lee.

The proceedings of the House of Representa-
tives, yesterday, were suddenly Interrupted by
the receipt of telegram by tho Speaker from
The State Department. announcing the death
10 Havana, of Mr. j. L. Leonard, who died in
that city yesterday, of yellow fever. MIR. l.. was
tho only republican member Of the Louisiana
delegation. The Intelligence of the death was
communicated by Secretary Evarts to Speaker
Randall, who stated that the Consul General
at Havana had ordered the remains to be EN-.
balmcd. Mr.. Leonard, it will be remembered,
sailed for Cuba some three weeks ago. It was
stated at the time that he went as a special
Commissioner authorized by this Government
to investigate tho truth Of tho report that
negroes had been kidnapped in Florida and
sold into slavery 10 Cuba. Leonard was to have
started on his return to New York last Satur.
day, the very day upon which he was stricken
down with the fever. On reception of the
news Of his death Speaker Randall requested
MIR. EVarts to ask tho Consul General to show
all proper respect to the memory of the de-
ceased, take charge of the remains and forward
them 10 New Orleans. and that the House of
Representatives would cover all necessary cx-
penscs. The intelligence of the death of MIR.
Leonard came suddenly on tho members of
the House and caused general sorrow. He
bad been absent from Washington only about
three weeks. The fact having been announced
by the Speaker, the House adjourned In token
of respect.
Mr.. Leonard was only thirty one years DID,
