RELIC or THE PAST

There was great rejoicing III Viz
GINA fifty years ago Thursday when
the telegraph wires brought the
news that the House OF Representa-
tives had promptly passed'a b:l!
giving the President the power to call
a State election in Virginia, and .
submit the constitution to a vote o.
the people with separate vote on
its obnoxious features among them
clauses which virtually DISTINGUISHED
the bulk Of the male population ct
the Old Dominion.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch IL
reproducing the articles from its file
of half century ago calls attention
to the fact that many good things
were said about President Grant, on
whose recommendation the House
took this action. While rejoicing
was in progress in Richmond Gene
raj Henry A. Wise passed along en-
his way home. The crowd cheereQ
as he approached and called on him
for a speech. Genera. Wise, standing
on the sidewalk, responded briefly
and said that was all Virginia want
ed--a fair chance to do the right
thing. He eaiogized the President
and said, chat man Grant is Viz
ginia's friend. and we can trust him.
General Lee trusted him AMI has not
been disappointed"
Virginia was given chance. an@
the election during the summer Of
1865 resulted in the sweeping, from,
power Of carpetbacgcrs who had
captured the state after the clc5e. Of
