PRAYER AT POLITICAL GATHERINGS.
Since the time of the Burgesses it has
been the custom of the House of Dele.
gates of Virginia to open the proceed
Jugs with prayer. This matter is left
to the clerk, and being considered an
honor, he invites the ministers OF
various denominations to act as chap
lain for week at time.
Not one bad ever declined until yes
terday, when Rev. G. K. Oechlschaeger,
English Lutheran, sent the following
written reply, which was read in open
session.
~ do not believe in opening pro-
miscuous political body with prayer.
The promiscuous character of the body
makes it an abuse of prayer, and the
political character of the body makes it
an unnatural union of church and state.
l, as a christian, and any member of
the body as christian, can privately
pray for the sessions, but the State which
that body, represents has nothing to do
with prayer"
The letter created some little amuse-
ment, and Mr.. Saunders moved that it
be referred to the gentleman from Roa-
noke, Mr.. Berkeley, with instructions
that he see that the ministers stay in
their sphere.

SATURDAY EVENING, FEB. %, 1876.

ACCORDING TO dispatch from Rich
mond, some one of the many Solomons
OF that city asked the Governor what
he would do in the recent Jackson City
case?" What can he do in it? What
could the President of the United
States. with the army and navy to sur :
port him, do in it? Before any thing
could be done in it, effectively, the Con-
stitution of the United States would
have to be changed. Negroes have as
much right to vote in Alexandria coun-
ty as any where else in the country, and
as they have majority in that county,
thew elect the officers thereof, SO that
the county is cursed with many i'm
proper and inefficient officers, some OF
whom are ignorant negroes whose acts
are influenced either by prejudice or
money. But negroes are people, and,
according to the demagogues, the voice

THE RESULT of the recent municipal
election in Philadelphia shows that
though the republicans may quarrel and
fight before the day for casting ballots,
when that day comes. they postpone
the settlement of their difficulties to q
more convenient season, and march to
the poles in seiried ranks and vote as
one man for the candidates whose
names are on the republican ticket. If
the same spirit actuated the democrats
of Maryland and Kentucky, there would
