Yesterday / WAS looking over some old
newspaper clippings written during tho
DAYS OF hard tack and bullet" l cana
across one notice / remembered well-the
promotion Of Colonel John II. Morgan
10 brigadier-general on the 2th OF Do
cember. 1867 and on the following night
General John Ia. Morgan was married 70
Miss Matte Reidle, the charming daugh-
ter OF Hon Charles n. Roidie, Of Mur-
freesboro', Tenn. There was goodiy
array OF splendid NAMES present, among
them General Bragg. with bis piercing
eyes and the stately Generals Preston
smith and Breckinridge. General Lsoni-
6as Polk lent his aristocratie presence 10
the gay throng, and there were many
others whose reputation for Nalor was
widely known throughout the south.
The Festivities were pselonged Tar INTO

THOSE BODIES ~ EVERGREEN.
II Is believed Now That Grave
Robbing Has Been Done.

II Is Relieved Now That Grave
RObbing Has Been Done.
The surreptitious burial Of dead bodies
in Evergreen Cemetery, the colored bury
ing-ground in Henrico, which was brought
10 light some weeks ago by the discovery
Of two freshly-made but unknown graves,
has been renewed by the discovery Of
another mound Of new earth, near BY the
other graves.
The later discovery was reported at the
county court-house yesterday and JUS
tees Pierce and Vincent and Constables
Garrett and Samuels began an investiga-
ton. The report that another body had
been buried i'm the cemetery soon spread.
and attracted a crowd 10 the spot. 4
steel rod was inserted IN the mound, and
the body was probed for but not located,
and this gave rise to the theory that in
stead Of bodies being inferred surrept!-
tiously. graves had been visited by resur-
rectionists and robbed. II is now thought
that the new mounds were simply those
thrown ID over old graves that had been
vandallzed. The county authorities expect
TO have something TO report in the next
few days.
Residents of the West End have for
some time suffered from the depredatlons
of early-morning thieves. and have be-
come alert to catch the depredators.
About 3 o'clock yesterday morning Mr.
George r. Anderson formerly Treasurer
Of HenricO county. whose place is on
west Cary street, heard noise in his
porch, and upon investigation discovered
two negroes in the act Of carrying of a
lot of bread that had been left by the
baker who supplies him daily Mr.. An
derson got his gun. and pursued the fee
ing thieves. He fired at them at long
range. but without effect. He then went
before Justice James T. Lewis, and swore
out warrant for the arrest Of George
Evans and Sam Cosby The warrants
were placed In the hands Of Constables
Green and Branch, and within an hour
the two negroes were lodged in the county
Jail They will have hearing before
SQUIRE Lewis this morning.

Already the farmers throughout the
State have begun to send their requests
to Colonel Thomas Whitehead. Commits
sioner Of Agriculture, for sugar-beet
seed. with a view Of making tho pro-
posed test relative 70 the sugar-beet in
dustry IA Virginia. In one letter re-
celved by the Comnissioner yesterday
the writer asks for a sufficient quantity
OF seed for eight farmers In his county.
The Commissioner has written for i'm
ported Wanglaben and Wilmorin seeds,
the former from Germany and the latter
from France. which he expects 20 re-
ceive very shortly. In the opinion OF
Colonel Whitehead, the Ttdewater Dis
trict OF Virginia Will be especially adapt
ed TO the introduction Of sugar-beet cul-
tire
Colonel Whitehead is also receiving
now a great deal Of literature dealing
with tits industry. He has been sent
newspapers published in Des Moines, Ia.
showing a system a sugar-beet factory
has lnaugurated out there to start the
surrounding farmers TO raising sugar
beets. This was a proposition TO pay 81
per ton for all the beets II the farmers
within 100 miles Of Des Moines would
pledge themselves TO cultivate 5000 acres
OF sugar-bsets. One Des Moines paper,
speaking OF this plan. says:
"The Iowa Sugar Beet Company held q

street Presbyterian Church.

After the usual Wednesday night ser
vices at Grace-Street Presbyterian church
last night there was a congregational
meeting held, pursuant to previous notice
given from the pulpit. for the purpose OF
electing additional deacons. The usual re-
ligious services were FIRST held, conducted
by the pastor, DR. Fair, who took occa-
sion 10 deliver an address upon the sub
iect OF 1.-The Deacon" taking for his text
that portion of Scripture giving an ac-
count Of the appointment or election Of
deacons by the apostles. This was very
interesting. and at the same time, a very
instructive discourse After closing the
religious part OF the meeting with hymn,
he called the congregational meeting to
order. Mr.. John NJ. Price was elected
secretary. The ballot resulted in the
election of the following gentlemen as
deacons: Messrs. J. Scott Parrish, Daniel
Grlnnan. and John Newton Gordon. The
meeting then closed with hymn and
prayer.
These gentlemen will now accept, and
the installation services will, no doubt,

JingoiSm,

Speaking at Toronto recently before
mixed audience of British, Canadians
and Americans, Professor James Bryce,
scholar, statesman and philosopher,
whose study of "The American Com
monwealth" attests his broad under
standing of American ideas and ideals,
took up the subject of the mutual re-
lationship of the three great branches
of the English speaking race. What
he said and the way he said it both
deserve our notice. We quote the
pivotal thought:
There are in all countries persons
whom we in England call by the name
of jingoes. There are jingoes in Eng
land, and there are jingoes in the
United States. What is jingoisnl? 1t
is a travesty of patriotism which has
gone on fermenting until it has be-
come sour. 1t bears the same relation
to true patriotism that vinegar does
to wine. These jingoes in all countries
are fond of making mischief Some of
them do it in mere recklessness Of
heart. Some of them / am afraid,
do it from less creditable motives, in
the belief that they can make some
petty political capital out of it. But
beyond all these noisy, querulous and
quarrelsome voices there stands in
Great Britain-there stands, 1 am no
less sure, in the United States also
the great, solid, sensible mass of the
nation which desires peace and tran
guilty, which desires to attend to it's
business and desires not to have il
disturbed or shaken by rumors of wars
the great mass, which desires to fear
God and honor the sovereign, whether
the sovereign be called a queen or
president, And I trust that in all three
countries this great, solid and weighty
mass Of responsible national opinion
will prevent these noisy voices from
ever provoking real danger between
these kindred peoples"
These words embody an undoubted
truth and yet they need qualification.
OF 'jingoes" like these Professor Bryce
defines there are fewif any in the United
States. The term is not applied in this
country to intentional mischief-mak-
ers who push their own way and try
to push their countrymen into trouble
heedlessly and needlessly. In the
United States the "jlngo," bespattered
by Mugwump abuse and fair target for
copperhead venom, is the citizen who
believes in standing up; who considers
servihty and ready acquiescence in
wrongthe expression of an inferior sense
OF duty; and who has read history and
studied human nature to sufficient pur-
pose to realize that vigorous, assertion
Of personal or national rights is a surer
