The Re-Adjusters.

The Washington correspondent of the
Alexandria Gazette has the following, re-
ferring to the recent Re-adjuster conference
In Richmond
Gentlemen here from Richmond report
that the conference Of the Mahonites there
last Wednesday night lasted from s until
O'Clock; that all the prominent Mahonites
in the Statt.except Riddleberger and Lacy,
were present; also several Republicans and
negroes AID that they determined upon an
address to the voters Of the State, which
will be issued during the next three or four
days. Tie impression was that Massey
would have to remain where be is, and that
as it would not be we'll to send two U. s.
Senators from one city, Mr.. Cameron will
be their candidate for Governor and Mr..
Riddleberger for the Senate The Mahon-
ties will call a State convention to nomi-
nate State ticket. 1t was understood
among them that Gen. Malone is as much
opposed TO " ickham, Jorgensen, Dezen-
dOrf and the other Republican leaders in
the State as he is to the Democratic leaders,
and that he said he would be silly to antag-
onize the administration, If by not doing so
he could obtain the Federal patronage of
the State. and thereby be enabled to help
his friends He also said that under the
present assessment, with the strictest econ
omy, it would be almost impossible to carry
out even the plans of his party.

Christmas with Convlcts.

The Richmond Wing of the 2Sth has the fol-
lowing editorial notice of how the Christmas
was spent by some of the convicts in the Pen
tentiary;
Superintendent Williams and his assistants
deserve vote of thanks from the community
for their Christmas festivities in the State pris-
on. We understand this is unusual; in fact,
we believe it never occurred before.
A few days in advance of Christmas the
Superintendent looked around among the
male and female members of "his family to
ascertain how much vocal and instrumental |
musical talent, and how much literary or OF h.
err talent he could find, to give morning and
afternoon entertainment. His success was
beyond his expectations, and his proposed
entertainment promised to fully repay his eff
forts
At 10 o'clock on Christmas morning, all
things being made ready, the female conviots
assembled in the chapel as primly and tidily
as their wardro5es and the circumstances
would admit of. No male cOnvicts were admit
ted except those who took part in the perform
ance. A number of ladies and gentlemen OF
Richmond honored the occasion with theirpres-
ence and added much to the ecldt of the exer-
cises. The want of programme prevents US
from noticing the performance in detail but
it consisted of organ solos. vocal solos, Duets
and quartettes, reading and Rotations. and
last, but not least, capital exhibition of leg
| erdemain. The vocal exercises developed
some very fine voices, and. in many instances,
considerable culture. The readings and reci-
tations also exhibited proper appreciation and
were at times decidedly impressive.
The legerdemain convict in some of his
tricks was pronounced equal to the wizard
Wyman, and was particularly amusing in ex-
| tracing half dollars from the ears and noses OF
his audience, and sending cards flying through
the air like birds. at his will. His sisters of
misfortune for the time forgot their condition.
and made the prison walls merry with de-
light.
The same performance was repeated in the
afternoon to the male convicts with equal
success. The whole affair Of morning and
evening passed off to the great credit of Su-
perintendent Williams and his assistants, and
delighted the heart of every convict with the
only Merry Christmas" ever experienced
within the, prison walls.

Died on the Day Fixed for his W ed
ding.

We take the following from the Big Lick
Roanoke county, Neacs of last week, which
will be read with sad interest by the many
friends of young Douglass Warwick, whose
death occurred in Richmond last week:
ut has been an open secret for some time
among their intimate acquaintance that Mr.
Douglass Warwick, of Richmond, and Miss
Nellie Bgrwell, of Franklin county, were be-
trothed, and they were to be married about
the LIST Of this month. Everything was in
readiness on the evening appointed for the
wedding, and a carriage was sent to the depot
to meet the expected bridegroom, but instead
of the gentleman a message came stating that
sudden Illness prevented his presence and ask
ing that the wedding be deferred. Three times
successfully it was postponed for the same
reason. But last Wednesday-when tor the
third time everything had been prepared for
the nuptials-came the most cruel blow of ALL
Twas but natural that the young lady should
have fell some trepidation at the approach of
the carriage that had thrice failed to fulfil its
mission and the sad sequel proves that her
apprehensions were not groundless. Instead
Of greeting her future husband she received a
telegram conveying the shocking intelligence
that he was dead. Let us draw q veil upon
the scene that followed; for the poignant grief
of a widowed bride is too sacred to be exposed
to the curious gaze of an unsympathetic world
Miss Blrwell was very popular among her ac-
quaintances, and her sad misfortune elicits the
deepestsympathy from all who know her"

International Contrasts.

The following article from the New York
Tribune Of the Goth, is interesting and instruc-
tive. The facts detailed constitute very high
compliment to the craftsmanship of this coun-
try, and should he read with pride and pleas
ure by every American citizen:
These are exhflerating days for Americans, whom
the leading English journal declares that the inan-
ces or the nfted taes may excite the envy only
OF England, but of Europe" Do they fully appre-
c1ate the Significance Of the compliments which are
showered upon them from the richest nation In ;he
world? Do they recognize tho proud position which
their country occupies almost the only debt pay
ing nation on the face of the earth? We fear they
do not and 1t Is in the hope of helping them do
80 that we bring before their eyes some statistics
which we find In the volume of consular reports
Gently published by the State Department The first
table presents succtnct statement of the national
debts of various European countries in 1865 and
1873 reduced to gold CURRENCY and underneath the
footings we have placed the figures for the United
States for 1866 and 1880.
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1880-12-30
More Rational.

The following article from the Wing of the
23rd, is more rational than some of the strict.
ures we have noticed in that journal, re.
lating to General Wickham, particularly
We know the Wickhams-ather and SON
well, and know of no twomore hightoned gen
tlemen in Virginia. They are men Of strong
convictions and aggressive actions, but at the
same time emineptly fair and considerable Of
the opinions and sentiments Of thoRe from
whom they differ. There has got been much
reason in the warfare the Wing, at times, has
waged against Gen. Wiekham and Gen. Ech-
ols-lipking them together politically, because
they happen TO be associated in the manage
ment of great public improvement. Nor do
we think the Wing has aided its party ia this
kind of grstuitous assault. We think men
ought to be permitted to differ from each other
and especially when that difference is distinct
ly proclaimed by different party sssoeiatieps--
without being denounced and abused for it,
Legitimate discussion of the points and poll.
cies of such difference is instructive and to the
degree that divergent views ofpublic questions
draw out fair argument and respectful anta9o-
nisms, to that degree does it contribute to the
popular understanding, and healthy condition
of public feeling and sentiment. The Wing is
capable OF maintsing its side of party questions,
and it is only when it does SO by digniied and
respectful argument that it does itself justice.
We quote the paragraph below with pleasure
because of the spirit oft towards the Messrs.
Wickham, personally:
There are two men of the name of Wickham
iR Virginia who are frequently appealed to for
help BY the Rourbons. These two are Williams
G. Wickham and his son, Henry 7. WIckham.
How is it that the party which not only con-
siders it disgrace, but high crime and mis-.
demeanor to be Republican, should adopt
these gentlemen in their favor? The truth is
these two Wickhams are masters OF the situa-
ton socially. and, to large extent, financial
ly; and before these facts the Bourbons bow
with the utmost selyility.
While we care nothing for this and only
permit Il TO amuse US, we have this to say Of
the two Wickhams (which no Bourbon dare
say, that We honor them for the courage they
have shown for their opinions, and that we
have much higher regard this day for W. G,
Hickhan and his son than for the caitiff crew
OF creatures who agreed last week last winter
TO elect Republican to the United States
Senate so az to defeat Democrat who disa-
greed with them on a financial question.
No! We detest the politics of the Wick
hams; but we respect and admire the charac-
ter, ability and courage of the men, No man
who knows these men can undervalue their
force, or their personal desert.

VENDORS PREDICTIONS Every body
who has read Vennor's predictions as to
the weather, and noted their accuracy. now
regard him as reliable authority in such
matters. Hence the following forecast for
the month of January will receive atten-
ton !:
Mr.. Vennor, the Canadian weather
prophet. having come very near the exact
condition OF the weather for December in
his predictions, his forecast Of what may be
expected in January becomes of interest.
Mr.. Vennor says: Il anticipate that New
Year callers will have heavy sleighing this
year from Montreal to Washington, and
that a cold snap during the first part OF
this month will preserve it for that period.
| expect blockades of snow in the United
States about the 7th and 9Th Of January.
and rainy days during the month will be
exceedingly few. The second quarter will
open with heavy falls and terminate in a
cold snap. The middle of the month will
bring snow-falls, which will terminate in
milder weather toward the end of the third
quarter. The thaw. which will be inter-
rupted by brief cold spell, will extend
from the 18th of the month into February.
The record of this month will show it "a
have been severe one, and the general
conditions of the weather will remind us OF
some Of what are called real old-fashioned

False Report.

It has been reported that F. T. Ware said
in a lecture, delivered at Augusta St. NJ E.
Church, that those who drank whiskey and
played cards, were worse than Infidels. I
was present at the time named. and I know
this report to be utterly false. But what he
did say, was that man who spends all his
time in bar-rooms, drinking whiskey, playing
cards, and his wife at home hard at work and
children kept from school for the want of food
and clothing, is worse than an Intidel

A Good Movement.

Last week q meeting of Catholic dealers in
liquors, was held on call from Bishop Keane
in the Cathedral Hall, of Richmond, for the
purpose of taking action for the proper observ.
ance of the Sabbath by the suppression of the
sale of intoxicating drinks on that day. Bish.
op Keane made powerful address in advoca.
cy of the movement, and submitted series OF
resolutions for adoption and pledge for sig
nature, setting forth the sacred obligation oil
keeping holy the Lords Day, recognizing the
practice of selling and drinking liquor on that
day as violations of the commandment of God
and the precept of the church, and promising
not to sell drink to intoxicated persons on the
Lords Day, nor permit it to be sold by those
over whom they have control, and to discoun-
tenance it in others. The resolutions were
unanimously adopted, and the pledge was
signed by thirty liquor dealers. Committees
were appointed to procure the signatures ofall
Catholics in the city doing business.
This is certainly movement in the right d.
rection and an example that should be follow
ed by all others who deal in liquors. There is
a remissness with the press in not endeavoring
to educate public sentiment up to proper ap-
probation of the sacredness of the Sabbath.
The press has its mission as well as the pulpit,
in this respect inssEauch as it reaches more
general class of citizens, and has field of op-
Grafton distinct from that of the pulpit. We
believe it is in the power of the press of the
country to inculcate respect for law and NOR
atty to even as great degree as is inspired
from the pulpit, and that the two working to-
gether in their separate and distinct spheres,
might work out a healthy reform in the direc-
ton indicated by the movement of Bishop
Keane. The statute as well as the divine law,
and the unwritten law In the members of eve
ry man, protest against the dissertation of the
Sabbath by dissipation in any respect, and by
reason of that against the agencies and oppor.
tunites which open the way to dissipation.
Apart from the moral question involved, and
the influence exerted upon society, there is an
evident propriety in strictly closing up places
of business on the Sabbath, which addresses it.
self to the approval of the judgment of every
good citizen, whether aprofessor Of religion or
not. 1t is subject worthy the attention Of
all classes and pursuits, because of its relation
to the good order of community and physical
health, as well as civilization.
