Republicans did not frame with intent
70 use for the perpetuation OF the

"a. however, one feature which so plainly
discloses this main design of tho conspi-
rators that we think the public will be glad
70 see il. After providing that tho certifi-
cate q a certain Federal OF Republican
tool shall be sent by the Board of Can
vassers TO the Clerk of the House OF Rep
resentstives, it says:
"upon the receipt by the Clerk Of the
House of Representatives OF the declara-
tion and certificate Of any United States
board of canvassers of the congressional
vote as 10 the election OF any representa-
tive or delegate in Congress 1t shall be the
duty of that officer TO open and file the
same in his Office. Said certificate and de-
clarations shall constitute the lawful ere
dent ais of the person 30 found to be elect
cd. and the provisions Of sections 81, SO,
81, and So Of the Revised Statutes of the
United States shall be applicable TO them"
Think of that. Certificates from JOHNNY
DAyEspoRT's tools are TO constitute the Gre
dentials Of all our congressman Under
those certificates all these Republican con-
gressmen can draw their salaries from aud
after the ith Of March next following their
election. No, not their election, but their
eertiAcation as members of Congress. And
al this. notwithstanding that the Demo-
cratic candidates may have in their posses

One advantage Richmond has is that her

The Century Dictionary.

The wonderful growth OF our language
is one of the evidences Of the ceaseless
energy of English-speaking peoples. Every
new discovery, whether OF hitherto IN
known lands or Of natures resources, or OF
new forms from old principals, creates
demand for new words.
The arts, sciences, and mechanics eachre-
ouire great vocabularies for the express
sion of the ideas which are the pro-
ducts of this lusty age. Electricity alone
has introduced into our tongue hundreds
Of words.

country and large force Of readers and

quired the right to use the copyrighted

It's illustrations are the best and most
accurate we have ever seen in any diction-
ary or encyclopedia, and altogether 1t is
one of the handsomest books ever printed.
The original conception was TO adapt the
Jmperial dictionary TO American uses, but
the projectors of the enterprise have al
lowed the photographers to outstrip this
idea, snd the result is production which,
while essentially American, is broad and
comprehensive enough for all the people
who speak English.

LEES birthday was observed in Rich
mond in 1876. when the orator of the occa-
sion was JOHN HAMPDES CHAMBERLAYsE.
His address was prepared after only two or
three days' notice, but was so brilliant and
true TO the intelligent popular estimate OF
the subject that Colonel WALTER Ii. FAY
LoR in the preparation of his book -Four
Years with Lee" adopted it as the best
account he could print Of our great COM
mander. Remembering the success of
Captain Commentaries Grafton, the only
wonder is that our people did not have an
annual celebration afterward. as is now re-
solved upon.
