I. GENERAL GRANT is reported to be looking
towards the presidency of the Nicaragua
canal. A recent dispatch states that Rear
Admiral AMMEN has intimated that General
GRANT is willing to accept The presidency
OF the Nicaragua Inter. Oceanic Canal Com
pany, when such company is formed,
"should he be invited to do so by the Board
OF Directors" OF course this is plainly,
as contemporary says, an application on
the part OF the "great American traveller -
for a situation where there is little work
and considerable salary.
The intentions of the eX-President are
somew hat mystical. 1t has not been exactly
clear that he has abandoned all views OF a
third term, although his late speeches 10 Tue
Mongoians intimated some indifference on
the subject. But the supposed appllcatlon
Tor the presidency of the Nicaragua canal
encourages the double idea that he is dis.
posed to give up the Federal presidency,
and that he is thus inclined becausetbe an.
ticipated salary of the inter-oceanic canal is
TO be most LIBERAL and that, besides the sal.
ary, there will be the handling Of half a
millions, more or less, OF dollars.
What .temptationl We would not Won
der if such prospect occasioned some rest
lessness in the mind Of a distinguished po.
litical strateglst in Virginia whose prospects
are Just now somewhat obscured. He has
been the recipient Of big salaries aforetime,
and had the handling of considerable sums
of money, This Nicaragua affair might
wen excite the, longing oi:one sosinitiated
into that sort Of luck. But should the time
be wasted in a fruitless effort to capture
poor Old Virginia, and lin that way the
chance OF the Nicaragua prize be lost, that
would be unfortunate.

Roanoke.

We copied last week from the Salem
Conservative the statement that it had been
understood that Colonel EDMoNDSoN, OF
Roanoke, would accept nomination for
the House OF Delegates il rendered him by
the Conservative party. II that be true,
we have no doubt the Conservative party
will make the tender. No better man could
be thought Of for the position. Colonel Ed
MoNDsoN is famous for his loyalty to his
State and fellow-citizens. His former SER
vice in the Federal Congress stamped him
as high-toned gentleman and faithful
representative--aIways. courteous always
loyal.--a representative whose constituents
were always proud of him.
He comes forth now from his quasi retire.
ment to serve his Commonwealth in her
hour Of trouble, when some of her mis-
guided sons are scheming to involve her in
great embarrassment, and, still worse, in
dishonor. Men like him cannot submit to
that il their power can prevent it. 1t is a
qualification to all Virginians Of right feel.
ing and principles to see such a noble Vir-
ginian enlist in the service OF the Common
wealth. We trust to see him in the next
Legislature.

NOMINATED FOR THE HOUSE BY TIE con-

correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
CHRIsTIANsBURG, VA.,1
September /, 1879.
The Conservative primary meetings were
held several weeks ago to appoint delegates
to meet here in County Convention for
the nomination of candidate for the Le-
gislature. The Convention met on Satur-
day, August 30th. 1t was composed OF the
most substantial men in the county, and in
this respect was in marked contrast with
the late Readiusters' meeting. The Conven-
ton was organized with Henry Fowlkes,
Esq, as chairman. The proceedings were
very harmonious. Several candidates were
balloted for, and. after numberof ballots,
Mr.. William M. Ellis was nominated.
Mr.. Ellis is a young gentleman OF high
character and standing, and true Conser-
vative. He is Richmond man by birth,
but was raised and married here, and has
been successfully engaged in farming Tor a
long time onthe South Fork Of Roanoke,
near Big Spring. You may put him down
as the member from this county in the next
Legislature. $50. MONTGOMERY.

Virginia. Bonds.

The people OF Virginia have bright
prospect before them with regard to their
new State bonds. The settlement OF the
State debt under the MCCULL0cH law will
reestablish the credit Of Virginia, and her
bonds will become once more means OF
investment satisfactory to her citizens. The
interest Under the settlement will be 8 per
cent. for ten years, 4 per cent. for twenty
i've years, and per cent. for ten years.
But the assurance that the interest will be
regularly paid and that the principal will
be promptly met at maturity will give the
Commonwealth entire command OF her
finances, and enable her to employ such q
policy as may give to her bonds the con-
fidence OF the world. Under that state Of
things Virginia may consolidate her debt at
a low interest, and her citizens would in
vest their gains 10 that consolidated securi>
ty and hold it as an Understanding as well
as tax paying investment.
Such Eond would become pride to the
people OF Virginia, and, above all, approved
for tie investment Of the moneys OF infants
and trust funds generally. Virginia bonds
will never again, we suppose, be put in
jeopardy, neither by government extraya-
ganee-for that is guarded against now
nor by the vicious and destructive wars OF
party knaves upon the public credit OF the
Commonwealth with the view of plumber.
The prospects are most encouraging.
The public credit OF the State Is growing
better and better. and in few months, or
at least year, not only will the State be
out OF all embarrassment, but her reputa"
ton for solvency will be again placed above
su. pleion, and her people, no longer anx-
ions, will themselves be in the enjoyment
Of that propitious order that springs from
tie thorough establishment OF both pubic
and private credit.
From the. circular Of JOHN A. HANDLE
TON Il Co., bankers OF Baltimore, issued on
the 3Oth ultimo, we make the following ex-
tract:
Virginia lall honor to her for her honest
endeap0rs 10 make q fair and just settle

vtrpinia Assured. I


r. /. onIy IN great crises that. the old mo-
fner moves. Atother times she 3ustihes tue
.neer OF her enemies, that she never tries
because her movements are so slow. Stirred
60 her depths, she puts fortha strength that
astonishcs her friends and confounds her
foes. So it was before the war, when inc
cry went up from every. Black Republican
lip that she was effete, played out. DE.
based by slavery, she had lost the breed OF
noble bIood-she could not be kicked out OF
the Union.
War came. Virginia bore the brunt OF 1t,
ever in the van Of fight,
The foremost still sue trod,"
winning more glory than all her enemies
combined, and discovering power they
will never again affect to despise.
so. when the war was ended, she was
again slow to move. Borne down by car
per-bagger, by scalawag, by negro-bound
hand and foot as it were-it seemed she
would never move. The firm doubted, the
weak were in despair. Biding her time In
patience till her course of action was clear,
she moved at last. Calling her sons in
council, she organized the campaign oil
1869, and swept the carpet-bagger from the
face Of the earth. Her splendid action ex'
torted the admiration OF every honest man
In the Union.
So now. Two years ago she ought to have
moved, say the exeitabies. Perhaps she
ought. But could she have moved harmo-
niousiy: Some OF her sons were in favor
OF reimbursement, others were not. Waiting
to unite them, waiting till an honorable re-
adjustment was had, waiting for the action
OF her Legislature, in which the Readiusters
had a large majority, ut last she stirs again.
And with what force she moves! LOOK
where you may, good men, true men, hon
est men, are at work. Not the politicians
only, but the men who ordinarily take no
part in politics are actively engaged in the
field. Once more Virginia puts forth bel
strength, as all men see, and all applaud.
