action In regard to the troubles 10 Virginia.

We publish in another column this morn
ng an important correspondence between
Mr.. Koner, chairman of the State COnser-
yative Committee, and General Malone,
chairman Of the State Readiuster Commit
tee. The proposition which 1t contains Is
the first practical step in the direction OF an
honorable reconciliation between the two
factions Of General Hancock's friends in
Virginia, and all true Democrats should
ardently wish IL Il successful issue. W nat
plan. If any, the conference, in its wisdom,
will adopt, il is impossible to foretell. We
have from the beginning perslstently adj
vOcated a compromise, and it signifies but
little, in our judgement. by what methods
il is effected, so we attain the main object
OF having but one Hancock and English
ticket IN the field. There are extremists
on both sides no doubt who will in
terpOse every obstacle to the success OF
the movement. Let them pass unheeded,
and let patriotism and duty be the rule Of
the hour. The unnatural discussions in the
Democratic ranks have grown out OF issues
totally irrelevant to the present canvass, and
it is little less than a crime 10 pcrpctnaie
them. The popular mind is perpleXed in
the effort To determine between the pI1uSi-
bic claims OF each faction, and the National
Committee is embarra> sed i'm lis operations
here by the welI-grounded fear that the re-
cogntion Of one faction Will force the other
into a state Of apathy, il not OF open Op1o-
sition. In such an attitude OF affairs il is
supremely important that the passions en-
gendcrcd in our late State election should
be laid aside for the present and cOmpro-
mise brought about, even if it should ne
cessitate the retirement Of both electoral
tickets and the selection OF entirely new
men.
By a moderate and sensible course in this
matter no RCadjus,er or Funder will sacr-
flee any Of his convictions on the debt ques-
ton, or in any way forfeit his allegiance TO
his own party on pertinent issues. II Re.
adj ulster should wish to vote for Re-
adjuster friend for Congress, there is no.
thing in the nature Of the proposed COM
promise TO deter him from doing 30. The
same sovereign right belongs to the Funder.
The only object is to unite the Democratic
forces OF the State for the accomplishment
OF the purpose which both parties profess
10 aim at-viZ the election Of Hancock and
English. Is there anything wrong in this :
DisOrdered, indeed, must be the imagina-
ton which can fancy it right for two par
ties 10 work separately for a result when it
would be wrong for them to work untedly
for it. 1t is simply illogical and faaclous
to hold such an opinion.
In the mean time would it not be well for
hasty and eXcitable gentlemen Of the press
and platform to suspend for the present
their warfare upon each other until after
the 18Th, at leastl No one knows what the
conference may bring forth. The foes OF
to-day may stand in the attitude OF friends
after the 10th, and yituperation and denun-
citation now will not tend TO cement that
friendship, you may be sure.-Petersburg

Somebody has ascertained that in
small pox poor people arc pitted less than
their dress. Poor people have less light
in their homes than the rich, while under
the dress there is of course little light in
either case. The explanation, according
to this observer, is Il scientific one. The
sunlight consists Of three primary colors.
The red, the blue and the yellow rays
lGlve distinct and characteristic proper
ties: the red gives heat, the yellow gives
light, and the blue gives actinism or
pustules absorbs, by it's yellow medium,
the actinic rays, which results in corro-
sion of the tender flesh at the base, thus
leaving pits.

twenty-five inches. A comparison OF
this bone with the femur Of a crocodile
would indicate that the fossil saurian, it
