The Legislature, few days before adj
journment, passed bill authorizing the
use OF penitentiary convicts to clean up and
put in order the section of Hollywood Gem
etery, Richmond, in which are buried
10000 Confederate soldiers of the Army of
Northern Virginia. The proposition has
been received with so much aversion from
every portion of the State and the South,
that it has been abandoned. An appeal
will be made to the public by the ladies OF
the HOLLYWOOD Memorial Assoc iation for
contributions to meet the demand indicated
in the bill, and we have no doubt a gener'
GUS response will follow.

1t is believed that it was not the original
intention OF the assassins to murder Lord
Cavendish. Burke was picked for their vic
tim, as he made many enemies in Ireland.
where he had served for number of years
as under secretary, by his firm admins
tration and conservative sympathies.-
Finding the two together and not know
ing the position and character of Caven-
dish, he was killed because he happened to
be with Burke. The Cavendish family for
Two hundred years, have been distin-
guished for their liberality and their SYM
pathy with the oppressed Island, and Lord
Cavendish's mission was one of reconcilia-
ton and Cancellation and concession. The
tragedy has much in it to remind our
our people OF the assassination of Pres
ident Lincoln, and its relation to and in
f1uence upon the interests of the South. If
was sad event for Ireland, whose history
seems to be one of successive woes. and
human ken cannot interpret the dreadful
act to the good of that sorely tried people.
There has been an arrest of man named
Moore, suspected of being one Of the assas-
sins. He is an Amer lean, and the general
belief is that all four of them are Irish
Americans. An examination of the shoe
prints, around the scene of the murders
shows that the broad toed American boot
was distinctly visible. The police advertise
for two men, as the murdere~s, and give
minute descriptions of them. There are
parties who say they can identify all of the
assassins.

We are pleased to learn that DR. E. H. Smith
has safely returned to his native land, from the
mission to Naples as U. S. Consul. He was ap-
pointed by President Hayes several years ago,
and resigned the position to take effect the 1st
OF May. We hope his health has been COM
pletely restored, and that he may be long spar

the old time Virginia gentlemen, who, as a
class, are fast passing away, and whose memo
rles will be cherished among the richest rem
lniscences of the old Commonwealth. DIR.

A public meeting was held in Wythevile
on the 9Th. A very large number of citizens
were in attendance to hear Senator Newberry
defend his conduct in the Legislature. He
was very denunciatory OF Gen. Malone. AT
ter he concluded resolutions were adopted
with but two dissenting votes, endorsing Gen.
Malone, approving of all the measures passed
and of those introduc ed in the Legislature
the Readjusters, and condemning Newberry
and the "bg A." This is the first gun,

There is possibility of the Legislature be-
ing called together for the purpose of passing
the re-apportionment bill Should it be con-
vened again, one of the most important meas
ures to be acted on will be the general local
option law. The probabilities are that if it
comea up again it will be passed, and there
will be music in the air.
The Wing furnishes a strong argument in
defense of Gen. Mahone's vote Oh the Confed-
crate Bourbon resolution in the Senate the
other day. To impartial mind and to those
who are anxious for peace between the sec
tons the views offered by our contemporary
will be accepted as wise and proper

The President has signed the Chinese
bill, which modifies the the former bill. in
the time of the operation of the restrictive
feature OF it, from twenty to ten wears.
There are several changes, but none of
radical nature. The passage of the bill and
its endorsement by the President take
from the Democrats the little capital thew
expected to make out of the veto of the
former bill. The Pacific slope will there
fore vote as before, with the probab ilities
in favor of the Republicans CARRYING every

The passage of the Tariff Commission
Bill naturally takes the tariff question out
OF politics, especially for the present, and
until the Commission shall report. The
fl nance question is settled beyond distur-
bance, as popular sentiment North and
South recognizes in the policy of the Re-
publcans that which is best calculated to
conserve the business of the country. Re-
publican policy has become the fixed policy
OF the government. The Democratic party
is thus placed in a very awkward position.
1t can do nothing but oppose and in its de-
claration of opposition it has to assault
what the great mass of the voting popula-
ton approve. The Chinese question is
like wise disposed of in accordance with
Republican views, as is the Mormon mon
strositY. What will the Democracy do for
an issue? The solid South will be no longer
solid for the Democrats in sidential
contest, and the North is so deeply inter-
ested in the preservation of the present
status OF all the cardinal practical ques-
tions, there will not be a shadow of a rea-
son chat the Democrats can urge to break
the solid Republican North. This is lamen-
table for our Democratic friends.

One of the victims of the recent horrible
Irish assassination, Thomas Haviland Burke
deserves more than a passing notice, both be-
cause of the dignity of his birth and his SUI
perior abilities. We are able to give a more
particular notice of HIM than common by
reason of the fact that he has been for up
wards of twenty years the personal friend of
our esteemed townsman, Col. J. Lewis Peyton,
whom our readers we'll know represented the
South in London during the civil war, and So
journed in England ten years after its close.
Mr.. Burke, whose original name was Haviland,
was descended materially from the Burke
family, rendered illustrious throughout the
world by the genius, oratory and statesman
ship of England's greatest pariamentarian
Edmund Burke. For this reason Mr.. Haviland
added Burke to his surname many years ago.
A man of fine talent and considerable admins
tratiye ability he has advanced rapidly to pre-
ferment. After 1861 he was elected to Parla-
ment, where he was never speaker, but
conscientious worker, welding far greater
influence and doing much more good than
many whose names appear in the reports as
debaters. Shortly after the weight of his in
fuence began to be felt in the House of Com
mons, he was appointed Under Secretary and
in that position has rendered himself pecu-
liar object of adm iration and esteem, not only
by the important services he has rendered to
his party but to his country. And it cannot
be doubted had he lived he would have reached
still greater position, for 1t must be remem-
bered that in England offices are generally the
rewards not of partizanship, but of merit.
Mr.. Burke has brother living in Indiana,
true hearted American citizen, and relations
in Philadelphia who have our deep sympathy
in this the hour of their trial. His murder we
are far from attributing to the Land League,
or the insti CATION of Parnell andhis political
friends; we rather refer it to Fenian origin
to some of those desperadoes who pursue poll
tics for gain, personal gain, whose occupation
would be gone were this agitation ended.

The brave people of ireland are now on
trial as they never have been before. The
brutal assassination of Lord Cavendish and
Mr.. Burke, will, for time. arouse deep
feeling of resentment in England against
Ireland. But that suffering people will be
equal to the occasion-maintain their COM
posure, and vindicate their innocence by
patient waiting until the storm blows over
and the second-sober thought brings its re-
compense. 1t would be as unjust to impli-
cate the Irish people in this double crime as
it was to hold the Southern people respon-
All over Ireland public meetings are being
held to denounce the atrocious assassiDa-
ton, and the touching address of Mr.. Par
nell and associates, speaking for the Land
Leagues and the Irish pc ople, will have the
effect to arrest impetuous passion and re-
store the equilibrium of the public mind. It
will be then that the injustice of the first
suspicion will be realized. 1t is a grim des-
my that seems to attend the Irish ma ton,
for just as the policy of reconciliation and
concession had been adopted by Gladstone,
the leaders of the Land League released from
prison, and rejoicing inspiring the entire
population, comes this terrible and coward
ly crime, committed by unknown hands,
but which the first flush of passion lays to
their charge. Time, however, will vindi-
cate them from the least suspicion of the
infamous act, and the reaction will be for
their good.

The construction of the Suez Canal, and
its control by England seems to haye a
broader effect. than was at first contem-
plated. 1t was supposed that its principal
merit would be the opening of a shorter
route to the far East, important especial
in time of war. 1t was not expected to
develop any new branch of trade, however,
yet this it has doIe in the matter of wheat.
Much of the land in India is very fertile
and peculiarly adapted 10 the growth of
wheat. The primitive methods of farming
have operated against commensurate results
in wheat growing with the capacities of the
soil. There are but few railroads there,
and the methods of transportation are most
ly by carts and pack-animals. Last year,
with such disadvantages, England shipped
from there 100000 cwt., and as railroads
are constructed the areas appropriated to
wheat culture will be enlarged, with pro-
portionate yield of the grain. This new
wheat raising region may, in the course of
time, become a successful competitor in
the English market with the United States
and Canada. A few years ago Russia mo-
nopOlized the wheat market of England.
Now she furnishes but small amount of
the demand. India may come in. however
to take the place vacated by Russia, and OF
late held by Amer lea.
