The Governor sent to the Legislature
messages v%etoing the bills providing
for working and keeping in repair the
public roads in Madison, Greene and
Fairfax. No action was taken on the
vetOes.
With to-night's sessions of the Senate
and House the actual work of the leg
stature will practically close. 1t may
be found necessary to extend the sess-

get all of the bills in shape to be pre-
sented to the Governor and for him to
examine them. The resident and re-
naming members will hold nominal
sessions of both houses until the Gov
ernor is ready for them to adjourn.
The acts of this session will make a
very large volume.
At 11:30 o'clock Saturday night Gov
ernor O'Ferrall had disposed of all the
bills that had been delivered to him,
and as large forces are engaged in en-
crossing and enrolling the bills those
passed hat night will have beer passed
upon by the Governor by tonight.
The calendars of both houses are
much nearer clear than they usually
are at this stage of the session and very
little important legislation remains to be
disposed of.

SOME OF the supporters Of the un-
amended tariff bill say it will never do
to increase the price of sugar by i'm
posing a revenue tariff on that southern
product. There ought to be no tariff
on any product, southern or northern,
but as the bill referred to puts a tariff
of forty per cent. on northern products,
southern sugar planters don't see why
they should be entirely excluded from
its benefits, especially as the bounty on
suc will be removed, and, as the tax
they ask for is less than that bounty,
their profit will be less under the oper-
alton Of the tax than under that of the
bounty.

A YOUNG man may be excused for
changing his political principles, on
the ground that upon more deliberate
reelection he had become convinced
that they were erroneous; but no such
excuse car be offered by one who in
mature age reverses tie political course
of his whole previous life and advo-
Gates the principles he had denounced
since the commencement of his man
hood r. Gladstone, didtiff iii after
middle age, was a pronounced tory and
high churchman. He opposed Catho-
lie emancipation, and even the freedom
of the slaves in the British West Indies.
And vet he is now such an ultra radi-
cal that he would break up the present
form of the British government by
abolishing the House of Lords, and is a
non-conformist. Such an entire revul-
sion is Indicative of anything else than
pure aud simple patriotism.

THE R. & D. FoRECLosURE.-Agree-
ment upon the petition for a decree of
foreclosure of the mortgage to be given
to cur the five per cent. bonds of the
Richmond and Danville Railroad and
for the sale Of the road was continued
in Baltimore on Saturday before United
States Judge Coli, who notified coun-
sci that he would await the filing of
the masters report before taking the
case for decision. Judge Golf said that
he would sign an order compelling the
masters to report the Indebtedness of
the road on or before April 10th next.
The question as to the sale of the road
was held under advisement. Samuel
Spencer, ex-president of the Baltimore
and Ohio, now connected with Drexel,
Morgan and Company, one of the re-
c%eivers, said that the passing of a de-
cree of foreclosure and sale would not
effect the plan of reorganization pre-
pared by Drexel, Morgan and Com
pany, as the bondholders of the K. I'D.
proper were in favor of a foreclosure,
and that if the decree was passed the
bondholders of the coordinate roads of
the system would receive the same
recognition as the road proper, under
the proposed plan of reorganization.

regard it as . dismal failure. He was
gifted With neither genius Of war nor
development of strategy" Many mill
tary men attribute the Gettysburg de-

and that when entrusted with a separate
command, as he was in Tennessee, he
proved a 'dismal failure" is we'll
known. Then, too, it need not be for
gotten, that after the war General Long
street became an advocate of the politi-
Cal principles against which he had
fought, and that General Early refused
to take his extended hand for having
done so.

COMMON SENSE teaches that people
so little interested in the welfare of the
country that they refuse to pay a small
capitation tax, should not be allowed
to vote, but as such a restriction on
suffrage would not be in accord with

posed. The best attainable means, un-
der existing circumstances, by which to
secure a true expression of the intelli-
