Oh. could we boi Assc se1r. ehSis they zero

The grsce ofdsJs forever passed away.
Had we but felt the beauty of the l!owers
That bloomed for us-before they knew de-

Could We have known how we should yearn
in vain
For looks and smiles no more to great our
sight, ,,.,,.,;
Orhow the fruitless tes-s would taA IKE Ialn
For hours Of sweet communion, Vsnlsneo

Their worth to ous-had We but better known,
Then hsd we held them desrer, while our own,
Had kept some salysge from the joys Ger

And loneliness itself has found US less a'one.

The MIDDLE at Marion.

The very serious charges brought
against the hospital at Marion de-
mands prompt and thorough investi-
cation. All the parties concerned
are gentlemen of high standing, and
have long held an exalted place in
the confidence of the public, and
this makes an earnest investigation
only the more urgent. This investl-
cation, however, should not be made
by the State Board, but by distinct
ly disinterested committee from the
outside.
The facts should be disclosed aud
proper, unbiased and unpredjucdied
judgement rendered, which perhaps,
is almost certain not TO be done unless
such committee is appointed. The
public has become quite familiar of
late with the term, 'whitewashed,' in
cases where committees and Boards
have been appointed to investigate
charges against themselves. The
public, in these parts. we believe,
discredit the reports as published In
the papers, but all the same candid
investigation is demanded. If such
an investigation is impossible under
the existing laws governing such
cases, then. SO much the worse, aud
the law should be changed as soon
as possible.

First Gun.

The first election held in the State
to elect delegates to the GubernatOri.
81 Convention, to be held in Norfolk,
August l4th, was held in the city OF
Alexandria, Monday last. The voting
was direct, only Messrs Montague
and Swanson entering the race. The
vote was close, Swanson receiving
1,O24, Montague 925. Under the
rules adopted Swanson will get the
entire 20 votes of that city, having
received a majority Of the entire vot e
cast. From reports it was concluded
thatSwanson would have a walk over
and his friends we're anxious to get
the benefit of the start for It's influence
elsewhere. But it seems Montague
came near snatching victory cut of
the very jaws of defeat.
This rule adopted in Alexandria is
contrary to the rules adopted by the
Congressman's friends in Richmond.
There they were in the minority and
wanted minority representation and
succeeded. Had the same rule
applied in Alexandria, Montague
would have received at least 9 of the
20 delegates from that city, as it is
he will receive none. We think the
same rule should apply over the en-.
tire State, and not an exception in
one city. We shall watch the Rich
mond fight with interest. Majority
rule is Democratic.
