PATRICK HENRY's GRAVE.

The esteemed Norfolk Pilot does
not seem to rejoice with us at the
suggestion of the removal OF Patrick
Henry's remains to Richmond. 1t Is
mot so sure that there is anything
OF reverence for the memory OF a
greatman in all this business OF
plucking him from his grave TO bury
him again under strange sod. The
removal of the remains to Richmond
might not heighten our reverence Tor
his memory, but it would enable
thousands so visit his tomb annual
" where ten visit it now. Then
again the Pilot is inclined to think
his dust belongs where it was laid
in bis own neighborhood. among his
own people" 1t is likely that Han
over county is more the neighbor-
hood of Patrick Henry than the
county in which he is buried. Ii Is
the county OF his birth and was the
home of his childhood and manhood,
and probably the most, il not all,
the public service he rendered TO the
State was given while he was a resi-
dent of Hanover county. Therefore
Campbell county.where heis buried.ls
not so much his home as Hanover
county. But he was altogether a
yirgiuian, and while he would be at
home anywhere in Virginia. we think
the Capital OF his State. where most
of his services were rendered. is the
proper place for his burial. He would
not rest under strange sod IN
Richmond, nor would he be buried
among strange people. We are told
tina. the grave is sadly neglected
where it Island We are not sure but
it is in an out-oi-the-way place
which would not be the case II his
tomb was in the Capital City. 1t
would there be looked after, kept in
proper condition and saved from
oblivion. which cannot be said ii his re-
mains are left where they are now.

comac Courthouse, while not In an in

inhabitants, it could get license. Judge
Blackstone decided that Mr.. Doughty's
claim Of ample police protection, the
county Judge and sheriff residing at Ac-
comac, was valid, but be would have to
get majority OF the voters Of that pre-
cinct, and not Of the district, before he
could get O license. This IL the first liquor
license case to be decided in the State by

GEN. WHEELER AND THAT MIS-
TAKE.

Gen. Joseph Wheeler was over
looked by the manager OF the carli-
ages the other day and he was not
in the grand parade OF the Confed-
crate veterans in New Orleans. 1t Is
said the General became very angry
at what be thought was a slight,
and left the city by the first train in
a rage. The whole thing was unior-
tunate and the oversight is much to
be regretted, but it is one OF those
things that cannot be helped at all
times on great occasions. lfGeneral
Wheeler had remained at his hotel the
mistake would have soon been discov-
cred and rectifed by those who have
honored him on so many occasions
aud who helped to make him what
be is. They were the boys behind
the muskets and carbines and who
used the sabres in the sixties, and
they were incapable OF wilfully slight
ing their gallant leader who is the
hero OF so many hard fought battles
and who won additional honors dur
ing the Spanish war. And no one
Knows this better than General
Wheeler himself, which he will no
doubt feel upon reflection, and re-
greet his hasty action. But however
deeply he may regret the circum-
stance and bis sudden departurefrom
the city we are confident that itcan-
not be equal to the modification OF
his comrades who are responsible
for the mistake, or those whose pleas
ure was marred by the unfortunate
incident.
