Hersis a strange bit of logic. The

BILE for the appointment of the entire
gang of officers who have been steal

told by high Republican authority

same persons who declare that the adj
ministration cannot be Injured, amt
that the affair is a disgrace to the
Nation.
What we wish to inquire about
therefore is, how such thing can dis
grace the Nation and not affect the
administration ? How can the Nation
be so completely enslimed and the
administration not be smeared little
bit Anybody is at liberty to arise

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The vote in Virginia was light, but
the results show very good majority
in favor of convention. 1t is quite
gratifying to many TO see roll + ON
our backs the burden which for 30 |
years has so grievonsly beset us. Our
next duty is to undertake what the |
people have ordered US to do and
frame constitution in harmony with
our conditions. abreast of the times
and advancements made by our State,
and to this end choose men who meas
ure up to the standard of such an I'M
dertaking. Such men are lot all under
the S, d i'll Virginia, they are present
throughout the Commonwealth. but
they are not the bowling politicians,
they are not The stump speakers n,r
the crrOs tone orators who make Ole
weary with their knowledge of all
things, but who do not hing but foment
strife. The men who are capable OF
this work are men whom we find at
work every day, who attend to their
business affairs strictly, and have
little time for the affairs of Others.
men who have the interests Of the
State at heart, who know how gov
eminent should be conducted, and who
will undertake to frame a constitution

which is the ideal of spOilsmen, undel

which will be an ornament to this ole

no suggestions as to whom the Sc mel
shall be, but they should be men who
have studied not only our own cOnsti
tuition, but who have looked into the
, science of government generally anC
who, in addition to their knowledge
have tue fearlessness to act, and sucl
wisdom as will commend their acts tt
the people. Many men in the Stat
will no doubt seek the Office, whom
one would not employ to draft an or
binary promissOry note, men who
never read the present constitution il
their lives. and could not tell if asked
today where copy of that document
