All persons who are inclined to make a thorough
study of plant life and growth and structure will
be grateful for the substantial aid which this little
treatise offers. The amateur collector whose
highest air. is to identify some spec-
men and discover its by the help
of an artificial key may find the mental pabulum
here presened rather too hearty for his appetite and
eston, and he shrink from the serious inves-
tigation which the book encourages But there
need be little fear that the American editor
will be disappointed in his expressed hope
" that it may to direct attention TO
the study of plants living things rather
than to their bare analysis and classification .
The work is written with singular clearness, and
yet concisely that it gathers up in It's few pages
the results of the latest research in the field which

try-were it identified with any important
principle OF governmental administration
it might go to the country upon it. ana ap-
peal to the Judgment of the people ior
verdict. But this it has not. LIS "lole
creed is summed up in opposition ana IL
is driven to the necessity of attempting to
arrest the influences operating against it,by
converting into a national affair mere To-
oal annoirtment of an officer, against
whom nothing can be said personally, and
only nolitically that he does not sympathize
with Bourbon Democracy. 1t is really hui
initiating for great party to be reduced to
such straights. 1t is without parallel in
the political history of the county, and evil
dences the guage and standard of a party
which is compelled to resort to such de-
vice. 1t is in the power of the minority TO
defeat the confirmation by subordin mating
the dignity OF the Senate and the interests
But the result will be all the same. The
fruits of it will be no more assuring and
comforting than those realized from the
sharp practice in the election of Senate
President. Defeat will come in the course
of time. and then the Judgment of the peo-
pie upon party that seeks to preserve its
existence by such devices. The Republi-
cans, we are sure, will not long continue in
the squabble, for it cannot change the eff
feet, or mitigate the censure which is re-
served for such trfling with Presidential
prerogatives. They will sufficiently indi-
cate their purpose to stand up for the rights
of the Executive, and having allowed the
Democrats to expose their methods. and
the flimsy pretexts on which they prolOng
the session of the Senate, careless and reck-
less of all the great interests of the country,
adjourn, leaving the President to fill the ap-
pointment in vacation. and demanding the
confirmation at the regular session. By
| that time Senators will have heard from
their constituents. and the Judgment of the
people of Virginia will have been re-
corded. That, we think, will be sufficient
instruction in this case, and will ndicate in
what estimate they hold this unprecedented
and undignified trling with the rights of
the Executive of the nation. 1t is a fair
exhibition of Democratic craftsmanship and
will cure many voter of his devotion to a
party that has no higher aims and nc
broader comprehension of the duties of the
American Senate than to higgle and quib-
BILE over the appointment / + an insignifi-
cant post office agent.

The members of the Woman's National
Christian Temperance Union, in session at
Washington city, called last Saturday on
President Arthur. Mrs. Chaplin, OF South
Carolina, made a few remarks in behalf of
Southern representatives of the Union. Pres
ident Arthur said in reply that he was in ac-
tive sympathy with her recuperation of the
South, and was determined that no section OF
the country should, during his administration
b. favored over another. This was well
said, and coming from man of the Presi-
dents firm mould and cautious expressions,
has significance. Let the people of the
South recognize the high resolve Of the
President in the spirit in which it was ut
tered, and give him an earnest of their SYM
pathy and approval, by silencing the mere
partizan agita,ors, and it will be found that
there will be no North and no South in h is
administration, as heretofore understood in
party relations, but the whole Union, COM
posed of eo-equal States, with co-equal
rights and duties, under the Constitution
and laws of the country as the supreme laws
of the land. .-..,...-....

On Saturday last while the Steamer Gil
christ was passing under the government
bridge spanning the Mississippi, and connect
ing the city of Davenport, Iowa, with Rock
Island, the cam-rods of the engine suddenly
gave way, causing the entire machinery to be-
come unmanageable and useless. The river
was running very high, owing to recent and
heavy floods, and the current was consequent
ly unusually rapid So when the Gilchrist
had no longer her machinery to keep her bow
up the stream, the swiftly running river car
ried the helpless vessel down stream at rapid
and appalling rate. Being SO near the bridge
the steamer was thrown with tremendous and
resistless force against one of the abutments
AS the Gilchrist came in collision with the
enormous mass of stone she careened causing
the weights of the safety-valves of the steam
chest to break from their fastenings and slide
off The valves no longer holding check on
the steam in the boilers, it poured out IN huge
volumes and enveloped the helpless crew and
passengers, who were wildly endeavoring to
secure -preservers in the main saloon, and
scalded many Of them in an awful manner
Some fifteen or twenty persons persisted.

Mr.. Keiley's Last.

The canvass OF 1881 is drawing to close
Its Importance has never been surpassed, and
cannot be exaggerated.
The 9Th OF November will determine wheth-
er the brand of dishonor-fruitless but met
faceable stigma-shall be burnt on Virginias
brow, and whether the trophies of dozen vic
torious campaigns shall be delivered to her en-
emies
1t will determine whether an ignorant and
debased horde shall bear the sceptre of Com
monwealth illuminated by the genius ola JEFF
rerson, the judicial learning Of a Marshall, the
purity of Madison, and the fervid patriotism
of a Henry; whether vulgar bossism, every
where else Kissing and u reproach. should
rule State for which Washington and Lafay-
cite fought in one generation, and Robert Lee
and Stonewall Jackson in another; whether
the foul work which Underwood and Wells
and Lindsey and the Nortons vanly sought to
accomplish in $50 shall be achieved by Malone
and his companions in 81.
Most of the harpies who then sought Vir-
ginia's blood have happily passed from us !;
every one who remains is with our enemies to-
day. They have only changed leaders-not
purposes principles or hopes.
And now, as then, an Administration, pro-
fiigate and hypocritical, who would rather
see old Virginia dsgraced than win all the

power, robbing the public treasury, stealing
the wages of its officeholders, openly tramp
ling on its only respectable party pretence-
financial honesty, and forcing the plant con-
sciences of the servile among it's adherents, in
tina desperate attempt to bring Virginia under
the yoke of a false Republ1canism, and make
her belle every page of her glorious record.
A year ago, a thin vail of decent disguise
was thrown over this corrupt coalition; to-day
it is paraded in all its naked deformity
Shall it triumph, Virginians? Shall the flag
ofgood government, of the supremacy of hon
esty, intelligence, and principle, go down in
this fight, and the black banner, under which
faithful allies" 1aithless sons and an admins
traton of Pharsees train in fraternal concord,
float over our State?
Surely there can be but one response. Let
it come with proud and united acclaim from
every quarter of our mother State. Let the
indignation under whose blast the first al
lance melted in 1880, consume the coalition
utterly in 1881.
Let US settle our debt with honor Let up
uphold our ancient fame as a covenant-keep-
ing Commonwealth. Let us save our Judicial
ry from faint. Let us keep our place at the
head of the southern column in the Union.
Let US, above all, save our homes from q rule
under which no one is safe. 1850.
Everywhere the prospect is cheering-the
Omens are all suspicious; but no feeling ofse
curity must abate our zeal. Confidence has
lost more battles than despair.
We must so win this fight so as to notify the
world that the degradation of Virginia is an
enterprise hopeless of achievement by what
ever parties, and With whatever means at
tempted. A. M. KELLEY, Chairman.

An investigation has been ordered to look
into the charges made against the 9th Massa-
chusetts Regiment, on their late visit to York
town. On the last day Of the encampment at
Yorktown, Gen. Hancock fully vindicated the
behavior of the command while in camp, but
charges very seriously affecting the character
of the regiment for order and discipline, while
in Richmond en- route for Yorktown, have
been widely published and several times reit-
Grated, SO that the Massachusetts authorities
now feel bound to take notice of them. A
staff. officer has been detailed to go to Rich
mond, where it is said many of the soldiers
behaved in an outrageous manner, INDUCING
in open excuses, refusing to pay for things
they had purchased and insulting ladies on

If there is ten year old boy in Rockingham
county. who can read and write, and is not
able to expose the sophistry and deception of
the leading editorial in the last Old Conaanon-
aoeaItb, we would advise his parents to keep
him in at nights for fear the cows might eat
him. The miserable pretext of honesty on the
part of the Bourbons is SO completely exposed
in the attempt to sustain it, that it requires no
criticism to make it more plain. 1t is the last
dying gasp of a desperate faction, that realizes
the approach of the end of deceitful and ig-
noble existence.

The Ignorant and debased horde" as Mr..
Kelley SO happily designates the opposition in
Virginia to the Bourbon faction, has saved to
the state 100000 annually in the management
OF the Penitentiary; made county treasurers
disgorge 100000 of the peoples taxes, illegal
ly held by them from the tire 'sury; restored to
the public schools some of the funds illegally
taken from them; doubled the school attend
ance; promptly paid the teachers restored
state credit, and introduced economy and sys-
TEN throughout the various departments of
the government under their control. In this
is presented striking contrast with the ad-
ministraton of the "best people" as represen-
ted by the Bourbon faction of the Democratic
party.

President Arthur is credited with saying

sides would confer with him; that. so far as
he was concerned, he had no enemies to pun

One or the other of the parties to the
present contest in Virginia is destined to
be rudely shocked at the close of the polls
on the Sth inst. Daniels friends claim his
election by not less than 10000, while Cam
eron's supporters would hardly accept less
than 20. 900 majority, and contend for 3d.
900. Somebody must necessarily be dlsap-
pointed, for both of these predictions can
not be realized. Let every man vote once,
and only once, and see that his ballot is
what he wants it to be. and then quietly
return to his home to await the result, de-
termined to be contented with it. .,....
