Dabney had been anticipated with keen
interest, and very large and represen-
tative gathering greeted him. He spoke
for two hours, imparting a large fund OF
information. The three points which he
laid down as the purpose of his lecture
were-first, to estimate the extent to
which the Huguenot blood is difused
throughout this State; second, the char
acteristics Of the Huguenots, and third,
are these characteristics distinctly visi-
Bile in Virginia to-day? He did not. how

MAY NOT LEAD HIS COMPANY.
Captain Cunningham Receives the
CITY Attorneys Opinion.

There seems some doubt now as to
whether Captain Frank Cunningham VIII
lead his company into the war.
Mr.. c. " Meredith. the City Attorney,
yesterday delivered the following letter
to Captain Cunningham: ,ooo
+. W. Cunningham Esq, City Collector:
Dear Sir,--I am in receipt of yours or
April 18th. inquiring as TO what erect
your becoming a volunteer in the United
States army would have upon your posi-
ton as Collector of City Taxes. SO far
as the city charter Is concerned, L am
of opinion that the City Council could
under the fifty-second section or thdt
charter take such steps as would allow
you to volunteer as suggested. But IN
case YOU should so volunteer, much
more serious difficulty would arise be-
cause of section l6S of the Code OF Viz
ginia 0SSO: that reads as follows:
mo person shall be capable of holding
any office or post mentioned in the pre-
ceding section, who holds any office or
post of profit, trust, or emolument civil
or military, legislative, executive, or ju-
diclal. under the Government OF the
United States, or who is in the employ
ment of such government. or who re-
ceives from it in any way any emolu-
ment; and the acceptance OF such Office,
post, trust. or emolumcnt, or the accept
ance of any emolument whatever under
such government, shall. ipso facto, va
cate any office or post OF profit, trust
or emolument under the Government OF
this Commonwealth, or under any county
city or town thereof
As the effect of your volunteering as
proposed. would be that you would be
come a part of the army or military
of the United States. IL Is evident that
such an act would cause your office OF
CITY Collector to become vacant. The
City Council possesses no power by
which il can do away with the result de-
clared by the statute above quoted. Nor
would section 16i of the Code OF Virginia
have any effect. as you would then cease
10 be a part of the militia of the State.
/ am, very truly, -
c. V. MEREDITH.

1t is but few years ago that III some OF

with flowers the sight of an Easter lily
or the rendering of an Easter anthem
would have been frowned upon.
The day opened bright and mild yester-
dav and the streets at the church hour
were filled with crowds of worshippers
each one displaying in attire some sign
of the spring Iitne. The music was line
in all the churches and specially arranged
The programmes were published in Sat-
