LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.

To the Editor Of the Journal:
The Arctic wave from the northwest struck
us nearly week ago and has scarcely passed
over as yet. 1t has been intensely cold part
of the time, and if that venerable old person.
age ''the oldest man living" ever saw it cold
er, he has certainly seldom known it to hold
on longer with such an iron grip. In this
climate it is seldom there are more than three
consecutive days of freezing, with mercury
from 20 to 30. For the last week the mercu-
ry has been playing between zero and the
freezing point, and everything susceptible of
freezing, has been frozen up. The ground is
like a rock the Dan River would bear
horse. while the hydrants and water plugs are
as tight as cup.
Business of all kinds dull enough before
has been nearly paralyzed. Tobacco, the
leading article of trade, manufacture and
agricultural product, cannot be brought to
the market or worked on account of its crum-
bling in time ike this.
Investigations into the circumstances Of the
poor have revealed some startling cases of
suffering. May Heaven pity them! Our

long editorial Friday, flashing the Port

Gen. Garfield recently made speech
before the Honest Money League at
Chicago, in which he spoke of the possible
danger to resumption. One might be
some great calamity. like failure ofcrops ;
another might be hostile Legislation of

opinion is the attack upon national banks.
On this subject he said:

Governor Nichols of Louisiana felt con-
strained to put morsel of truth into his
message to the assembly in regard to
political violence in that State. After
dwelling at considerable length upon the
subject of lxwlessness in Tensas and Con-
cordis the Governor says:
'Tne pyoximate cause of that trouble was
the going at night Of party Of men number
ing from 20 to rs to the house of one Fairfax.
= cclored political leader in Tensas parish,
which act resulted in the killing of one Peek.
Who seems 10 have been the leader of the
party, and the wOunding, by Pecks compan-
ions, Of three col0red men, who were in Fair
fax's house, and one of them afterward died.
The visit of these persons to Fairfax was
utterly wrong, and in my opinion utterly
without justification, and while it is attempted
to be justified upon the ground that they went
in the interest of peace and to expostulate
against rumored proposed attempt of GER
tain coiored persons to force quarantine
line at the town Of st. Joseph, am satisfied
that such WAS not the purpose, and that it had
. political object. do not think the purpose
was to kill or harm Fairfax, but do believe
IL vas to influence his course and to affect
the local campaign in that parish

the prisoner.guilty of the charge against him,
and left it to the judge to fix his punishment.
The judge then sentenced him to receive six
