More Truth Than Poetry.

There is much truth in what the
New York World says-'that the only
danger of war between the two coun-
tries arises from barbarous selishness
in three forms. There are forces in
the administration that desire war as a
means of reviving the Republican
party's prestige and popularity, and
securing for it new lease of power at
a time when the people are manifestly
intent upon dismissing it for unfaith-
fulness. In brief, jingoism is a partl-
san device for election purposes. In
the navy there is a desire to try the
new ships and to win numbers in the
promotion list-in other words pro-
fessional desire to get on, which finds
expression in wish for war. Finally
the hungry crowd of speculative con-
tractors want war to make business for
themselves. These are the forces that
make for war. Opposed to them are
the humanity of the people, the good
sense of the community and the indis-
position of sensible men to be further
robbed by needless taxation. 1t is fol
the House of Representatives to give
voice to these silent but powerful sent1-
ments"

Against Female PHYSICIANS.

The Dispatch says that long session
of the Senate Committee on Public In
situations and Education was held IL
the Senate Chamber Friday afternoon
the principal matter under considera
ton being Mr.. Koiner's bill, which has
passed the House, to provide for the
appointment of female physicians il
the female wards of the asylums.
The bill was advocated by Mr.. Koi
ner, Mr.. E. W. Saunders, Mr.. B. B. Mum
ford, Major J. Horace Lacy, Hon. Johr
E. Massey, and Captain 7. G. Morton
and opposed by DR.. W. W. Parker ano
and Mr.. J. N. Opie.
During the discussion there were
some fifty persons in the Senate Cham
Der.
The committee decided to report ad
versely on the bill by vote of 10 to 2.
All the members of the committee, ex
cept one who was kept away by sick
ness, were present.
The boards of the asylums have now
a right to appoint female assistant
physicians if they deem it advisable
and there is one connected with the
medical staff of the asylum at Staunton
but Mr.. Koiner's bill makes such ap
pointments compulsory.

ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO GENERAL
ROBERT E. LEE.

The late Senator Benjamin H. Hill,
of Georgia, paid the following just and
very eloquent tribute to the noble
character of Gen. Robert E. Lee, who
was in war and peace primus inter
primes:
"When the future historian comes to
to survey the character of Lee he Will
find it rising like huge mountain
above the undulating plain of human
| ity, and he will have to lift his eyes
high towards heaven to catch its sum
nit. He possessed every virtue OF the
other great commanders without their
vices. He was foe without hate, a
friend without treachery, a soldier
without cruelty, and a victim without
murmuring. He was public officer
without vices, private citizen with
out wrong, a neighbor without re-
proach, Christian without hypocrisy,
and a man without guilt. He was
Caesar without his ambition, Frederick
without his tyrany, Napoleon without
his selfshness, and Washington with
out his reward. He was obedient to
authority as servent and royal in
authority as true king. He was gen.
tie as woman in life, pure and modest
as virgin in thought, watchful as a
Roman vestal in duty, submissive to
law as Socrates, and grand in battle as
Achilles"

Horror Heaped on Horror.

A most peculiar and frightful
quadruple accident occurred near
Spring Valley, Mimi, Sunday. Frank
Ostrander, farmer, had the mis-
fortune to cut his leg while chopping.
He was helped by friends to his home
and bed. That evening his wife, in a
delicate condition. went out to milk
the COW and was kicked nearly to death
by the vicious brute. She managed
to crawl to the house where, without a
helping hand, she gave birth to twins
Shortly afterwards the twins died.
The burden of grief and pain was too
great for the mother and she died an
hour later. The father, in frenzy of
grief, endeavored to rise from his bed
and started his injured leg to bleeding.
Before he could reach the side of his
dead wife and babes he bled to death.

"Lee to the Rear"

Most Virginians, no doubt, remember
with thrilling interest the incident in
the late civil war known as Lee to the
Rear This occurred early in the
morning of May 6, 1864, just north OF
the Plank Road in the Wilderness, in
Spotsylvania county. General Grant
was making his way through the
Wilderness to Richmond, and was
taking advantage of the absence OF
Longstreet's corps to make an attack
on the thin line of the Confederates to
carry out this purpose. He had been
strongly resisted on the 9Th and held In
check, but being heavily reinforced
renewed the attack at daylight on the
9th. Longstreet's corps had made a
forced march from Gordonsville, and
by travelling all night reached the
battlefield just as our lines were fading
in front of Grants mighty army. Gen
eral Lee, knowing that if the enemy
broke his lines Richmond must fall,
became more than anxious about the
result, and as Hoods Texans came up
in double quick time, proposed to lead
them in the charge. Every eye was
turned to General Lee as he attempted
this dangerous feat, and the cry went
up from thousands of these braves,
General Lee to the rear 7" They
promised if he would go to the rear
they would go to the front and re-
deem the day. This promise was
faithfully kept, while one OF the
veterans took the Generals horse by
the bride and led him to the rear
This incident occurred on the land, or
on the line of lands owned by Major j.
Horace Lacy and the Catherine Fur
mace Company, who have generously
donated one acre to the Society for
the Preservation of Virginia Antiq-
uities. The spot is now marked by a
large stone, but the society will
probably erect something more i'm
posing. This place is about two miles
from the spot where General Jackson
fell, which is now marked by a fine
monument.

THE PROHIBITORY STATUTE

The statute prohibiting ex-Confeder-
ates from holding any commission in
the army or navy of the United States
is still in existance; but now that there
is a probability of war, it will no doubt
be repealed, as the services of the ex-
Confederates may be needed; but its
repeal has been delayed so long, and
will be effected under such circum-
stances as to rob it of all graciousness.
for as the hader-Appeag says, ''its re-
peal will be only humiliation to the
North and not an act of fraternal ms
tice to the South
1t would have been repealed wears
ago, but for the vote of Gen. Malone
who cast the deciding vote and defeat
ed it. As Bill Arp said, in reference to
another native of Virginia who took
part against the South during the
wary irginians do not often fall. but
when they do, they fall FIR and heocy.'

THE BALLOT SYSTEM

We are pleased to see that Senator
Mcdonald, of Lynchburg, has proposed
the adoption by our Legislature of a
modification of the Australian mode of
voting, which is the best that has yet
been devised to secure fair and free
ballot. In insures ballot free from
intimidation, and which will diminish,
if not wholly prevent, bribery, the
worst offense that can be perpetrated
against a Republican government, bas
ed upon the honest and free expression
of the will of the majority of the vot-
ers, upon which it's destiny for veal or
woe is dependent. Adopt this system
and the charge which the Republicans
persistently make whenever defeated in
this State will lose its effect, for it's
falsehood will be apparent. Make it
impossible to intimidate voters, and
useless to bribe them-for under this
system the voter can accept his bride
and yet vote as he desires without the
knowledge of the briber-and the
charge that the election has been car
ried by intimidation and bribery will
have but little, if any, effect.
We believe that all our Democratic
victories in this State have been fairly
won, but this has not prevented our
opponents from charging us with the
preparation of fraud, and to those who
are disposed to believe us capable of
doing such thing-probably because
they judge US by themselves-there is
some plausibility in it, because the
machinery of the elections is in our
hands Remove the possibility of con-
trolling the elections by improper con-
duct, and the false charges made
against us will either cease to be made
or, if made, will have no effect The
ballot should be, like Caesars wife,
mot only pure, but above suspicion"
Give us the Australian system, that,
in the language of Gen. Zachary Tay-
lor, ''all the world and the rest of man
kind" may knew that our victories have
been fairly won.

The Legislature accepts the Debt Settle
meDt.

Both branches of the Legislature
have accepted the settlement of the
State Debt as agreed to by the State
Commission, and the Olcott Commit
tee, representing the Bondholders. The
Senate on Friday adopted the resolu-
ton of approval unanimously, and the
House on Saturday with but one vote
against it-Wray, of Henry county, be-
cause he thought the House acted too
hastily, and not because he was oppos-
ed to the settlement. The Richmond
Dispatch of Sunday says
'eThe bill carrying the compromise
into effect will now be prepared and
submitted for criticism and amend
| ment.
The Debt Commission, before coming
to an agreement with the bondholders'
representatives, consulted the Com
monwealth's financial officers and
| found that the terms were better for us
| in our present condition than those OF
| the Riddleberger bill, and that we
could pay the interest upon the whole
| funded debt without .trenching upon
funds necessary for the maintenance OF
the State government or for the sup
port of schools. About $29, 000 900 OF
securities will be surrendered for $40,
DOC, O00-that is to say, at the rate of 81
cents on the dollar, and we have one
hundred years in which to pay the
principal
1t was q. question with some in the
House what should be done about
funding the bonds which have never
been pooled. There were several gen.
! tlemen who also questioned other fea-
lures of the settlement, but all of them
acquiesced in the ratification of the
general plan.
Any member is, of course, at liberty
| to object co the details of the bill when
| it comes up, but the great point has
been gained, and only minor matters
now remain to be settled.
The bondholders have ratified the
plan, Virginia has ratified it, and now
we have only to determine upon the
phraseology of the legislation necessary
to give force and effect to our compact
Neither in the House nor in the Senate
do we see anything to raise doubt
that the overwhelming sentiment in ia
vor of settlement which now prevails
will continue to the end. Certainly
the gentlemen who doubted the expedi
ency of passing any resolution in ad
vance of action on the bill acted very
handsomely yesterday.
The debt controversy will soon be-
long to the past. 1t has had long
existence and a tempestuOus one. Lei
it be retired and make room for newer
and happier questions"

Ex- President Cleveland, the Guest of
J0seDh Jefferson.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland is
spending a few days at Orange Island,
New Iberia, La, the winter residence
of Joe Jefferson, the actor. The plan
tation is beautifully situated in the Sad
die river The house is one of the old
manors, remodelled and luxuriously
furnished by the actor. Its conserva-
tories abound in tropical fruits and
flowers. Artificial ponds TEEN with
trout and black bass. Lake Simonette
near by affords the finest fishing, while
one has to step but few yards from
Jefferson's fireside to find wild fowl in
abundance Luxuriant groves contain
ing thousands of trees of the Mandarin
and Brazilian varieties surround the
house. Full one hundred pecan and
the same number of orange trees yield
succulent crops yearly. In the pastures
are the finest specimens of Holsteins,
while in the stables are number of
the fieetest roadsters in the South.
The apartment of which Mr.. Jefferson
is proudest, and in which he hopes to
entertain Mr. Cleveland, is the japanese
room. 1t is of marvellous beauty, and
visitors come from miles about to gaze
upon the gorgeous furnishings. The
actor is said to have invited number
