For the SPECTATOR
Roanoke Meeting.

The Roanoke meeting for the 18th instant
will do well to remember that while they will
meet in the interest of economy that con-
vention and new constitution will not only
involve considerable expense to the State.
but will necessitate not only vote of the
people, but an unlimited or extra session of
the-Legislature to pass such new laws and
reconstruct the great body of existing laws to
conform to the new constitution. That re-
vision of the Code will become necessary to
present the new constitution with a revision
of the laws to conform to the new order of
things and to enable the people to study the
new laws by which they will be governed
That is not only so, but the new constitution
and laws must be construed, and the errors of
the inferior courts and people corrected by
litigation in the highest courts at great ex-
pense, delay, vexation, and uncertainty to
business and the people Years must elapse
before the country will settle down in full
confidence that the situation is fully compre-
hended. If it is replied that there is to be no
considerable changes in the constitution, then
let the few special changes be made by the
Legislature, manned by competent men, and
let US have peace and some degree of certainty
and stability in our State affairs at least
What say you, gentlemen of the meeting?

The Fredericksburg Star says that
1.-The gallant old veterans who faced
eac CHI other on the field of lttle have.
as rule, discarded, as UNIV orthy of
true men, the prejudice and hatred
engendered in war times, and can now
meet each other in fraternal spirit,
shake hands and recite good humored
ly the incidents impressed upon their
memories during sanguinary conflicts
and even advocate union decoration
day services, but those who got some
boom proof position or hied themselves
to secluded places where the summons
to arms could not rea Oh them have just
become infused with bravery enough
to be in real good fighting mood. In
this class may be placed some of the
bitterest waivers of the bloody shirt
that are fomenting strife and cursing
the country with their malevolent
partisan utterances at the present day.
General Grant, without giving up any
of his convictions, could plead for the
angel of peace to hover about us, and
surely now that more than a quarter
of century is numbered with the
past, it would be contrary to our
boosted civilization and Christianity
for any of the followers of the noble
Lee and the magnanimous Grant not
to be kind hearted and brotherly in
their dealings one with the other"
