We see cent! Dually 'indications of Demo

sures that every mao should be left to vote
upon with reference to his own sense o
duty to the public interests. Tbis is only
proof that the Democrats are not improving
in practical good sense, and that they aie not

Can't they be quiet and bide their time ? (
And if party divisions and reconstructions f
?bouid open the way to a change of rulers, ^
fhull tfcey forbid tbe formation of a new (
party and saciifice the interests of the Re

and thus dash the chances of a victory of tbe ;

Tbe nation is getting very tired of this,
b it the Democrats are not likely to profit by
the public feeling. In the South, from the
tin- ure of tho>? measures which we are sorry
t > Mitre arc made the more oppressive by
tut misguided action of the Democratic
party, v c arc compelled to tight our battles
.Irrespective of national parties. We have

We or the South are left hopeless and are
drifting. Wc ?Wl drift finally into tbe
nearest and safest harbor. We cannot be
to-i-ed lorctcr upon tbe tea while an ludeD
?iic war, without an) good resulta for us, is
v party issues.
The Centennial.
In the matter of tbe centennial anniver
sary of American independence wc desire to
be fully understood. We feel net the slight
est sympathy with it. As for the place
where it should be celebrated, if at all, aud
the manner of the same, we have our opin
ions. Rut the celebration per $e has our
profound indifference. As the Israelites in
csptivhy hnng their harps upon the willows
that bordered the rivers of Babylon aud
Mruck no music tiorn them, so we here in
captivity have no enthusiasm, no sympa
thy, for those national anniversaries which
arc understood to celebrate the triumphs of
principles that are no loDger respected and
of liberty which we do not enjoy.
What significance would there be in our
joiomg the throng In Philadelphia shouting
for liberty J Would it not be that we con
fessvd that the principles and freedom
established by the rtbe.iiou of 'TO bad been
cherished and faithfully handed down to the
present day, and that we, as heirs to the
achievements and glories of our aucestors,
inherited unimpaired the legacy they be
queathed to us ? Shull we make this conies
tion, in violation of truth, aud nuke it to
tbosc and in tlie company of and in shout
ing cordiality with those who have perverted
ibe prirciples and curtailed the liberties that
the day is meant to celebrate? To do so
would be an act of insincerity for which our
northern friends would think none tbe bet
ter of us. They might feel an added com
p]?useoey agreeable to power from our act'of
submission Sn counterfeiting an enthusiasm
we could not feel ; but they could not re
gard us as equals with themselves, and must
look upon us as only degraded by our by
poerhy.

declaration adopted tk$||lth orlfulv, '76.
every sentence of flfiicU^*ve-J^fevv plW<
tudrs borrowed from the bloody tbcorists
of Franco? damns the government of this
nation for nine years past.
When the sacred principles of our fathers
are revived and the Government tbey framed
is reestablished we sbal' hail the anniversa
ries and join in tfceir celebration in all
proper modes. Until then we bhall not take
part in rejoicing with regard to them. Let
others do what they may, we shall follow
the dictates of our owa judgment upon the
subject.
And this determination is eutirely con
sistent with the well-known policy of this
paper to make the best of the situation. We
were overcome in war, and are compelled to
live under the Government of the Republic
of North American States. We must en
deavor to make that Government as gcotl n.<?
we can, and to make our own condition as
comfortable as possible by industry and en
terprise, and by so regulating our social
nff-iirs as to producc the greatest possible
amount of harmony and contentment. But
in the matter of sentiment# we are free to
entertain those which our judgment sug
gests to be proper.aod we would betraitors?
moral, social, nnd political? to profess and
manifest any other.
So we are not for the centennial a( all, and
for reasons entirely satisfactory to us.
The Franking Privilege.
The vote in the House of Representatives
on Thursday on the bill to provide for the
distribution of public documents, seeds, &c.,
which is a revival of the franking privilege,
wns too closc to preclude the fear that the
insidious bill will ultimately pass. The
demagogue spirit of the times, that, always
indulges itself at public expense if possible,
is too strong, we apprehend, to permit us to
hope with confidence that it wilt be de
feated.
In the line of franking documents and
seeds, the men now in Congrcas from the
South? sent there by means of the infamous
reconstruction laws? arc most decided. The
most of the white men amongst them are
mainly remarkable for their cunning in ap
plying ull public benefits within their reach
to their own private advantage. They have
little information and less honesty. They
consent to hold office at the hands of negroes,
and go shamelessly t#? Washington to speak
for a people whose whole force of respecta-l
bility and intelligence is against them. Tbey
kuow that their negro constituents ? whom
alone they represent ? cannot appreciate
and don't c*arc about argumeuts and mea
sures, ar.d only know how lo value some
empty marks of recognition. With such
people a document? which they hardly ever
will open, and if they do, they will never
understand? and a bag of garden-seeds?
which we sincerely apprehend they will
never faithfully cultivate? will win their last
in?. remembrance. So, to send these free w
the carpet-bagger's chicfest hope of reelection
to a seat iu Congress and to the salary that
iroes with it? that's all, and nothing more;
for so far as the South aud the nation are con
cerned it would be better that their places
were vacant.
Therefore the reconstruction measures
will pass this document- and seed-bill if it
should pass.
We could not fail to observe tbe closeness ,
of tbe vote in the House on Thursday as
an evidence that a close count bad been
made, aud that there was a mistake of one
la it. There were many euuning aud limid
gentlemen who wanted it to pass, but who
wauted to see it pass without incurring the 1
responsibility of voting tor it.
The Crusaders. (
The preparations of the women for the ;
siege of Columbus, Ohio, were not running
so smooth at la-t dates. They bumped a :
little. The women snarled somewhat at the ,
men who wanted to take a hand, aud tbey
in turn showed re.-eutment. The women
went to the capitol to ask the rotuuda for
praying purposes, which was refused to them
by the Legislature. Some of the zealots ex
pressed fear? that they wouldn't be able to
organize iu force for a charge on the Colum
bus bars.
Tue movement meets with varied success
in different towns and cities of Ohio. They
talk of a raid on whiskey in Cleveland. The
crusade is over into Pennsjlvauia, and has
reached i'oiladelphia, where the oppo.-ing
hosts are eteing one another. Many minis
ters promise the womeu help, and an imme
diate movement against the saloons is con
templated. There seems to be a pause for
tbe arrival of Dr. Dio Lewis, who is a <4 com
forter" and simulator amongst the women.
In Massachusetts the crusade seems to be
gathering force, preparatory to active opera
tions in the field.
In Memphis, Tenn., it is reported that the
excitement is increasing, and a movement is
talked of; but we rather suspect that Mem
i phis will not sustain any serious revolution
from it. The following pio?s and threaten
ing circular has been addressed to all bar
keepers iu that city :
"Mr. : You witl, in tbe name of
Christianity aud humanity, refrain fromscll
inc; the death dealing beverage if you wish
to enjoy any bibs in the eternal world here
after. Should jou refuse, we feel it our di
vine mission to call upon you at your place
of business and invoke our Heavenly Father
iu your behalf." Signed by the Committee.
One would think he would be a hardened
sinner who would stand firm against this
warning. But there are some obdurate men
in Memphis bars.
The Place and the Manner. '
Philadelphia claims that it is tbe proper
place for the celebration. We stated the
other day our views on this subject. There
are so many places that bad part in initiatir g
the rebelllou of '7G that we thought it beit
to please all by compromising on Washing
ton city as the capital of tbe nation.
A.s to the manner of ttoe celebration,
Philadelphia proposes a great expeudiiuie
and a big show of arts from all nations, and,
? of course, a great deal of trading. If the
. day is to be celebrated, it would be a shame
[ to divert the public attention from the ob
jects of tbe celebration to the business of
i trading and picking pockets. The princi
ples enunciated ou tbe 4tb of July, 1776,
were sacred. Let not the public devotion
to them (if there is or may beany) be marred
and vexed by buying, swapping, aBd cheat
ing. As Mr. Senator Tbubman said in the
Senate ou Thursday, tbe idea of helping an
exhibition is entirely destructive of a proper
celebration of American independence, and
Congress cannot do a worse thing than to
put its hands into tbe Treasury and take out
money for such a purpose. Ob, yes, it tbere
are things sacred left u? to be celebrated, let
tbe day devoted to tbera be not degraded to
the sordid purpose* of trade and money
making.
Wc :.rc not la tbe i-u irer, Iu;t

it would be a sordid race that crmld not al
low a multitude to assemble for public devo
tion without perverting- tbe occasion to tbe
uses of avarice. Congress should not .vote
a cent to ikta centennial, wherever it may be
celebrated. ' ' ' ' : ' U
lu a teat In the lower housevof Congress
upon the question of reviving pure and sim
ple the franking privilege there were 4'J
members in favor of it, and 30 of these were
from tbe South. Ju?t what we should have
supposed. The scalawag* and carpet-bag
gers take everything they can.

The Whig and the Patron*.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Patrons
have emphatically prohibited in the ortranic
law of the order even the discussion of po
litical subjects, and have time and again de
nied in the most authoritative mmner any
connection with partisan polities, the Rich
mond Whig persists in 1 be untenable asser
tion that the order of the Patrons of Hus
bandry is a secret political organization. We,
who know what we are talking about, assert
most posilivelv that we are not a political
partv. Tbe Whig, which dees not know
what it is talking about, asserts in an equally
positive manner that we are. Now, 1 chal
lenge the Whig to produce a solitary instance
where the order in the Uuitcd States has
?iven its official sanction to any political
party in the country, existing or prospective,
f i.o farther, and challenge the Whig to pro
duce trom tbe million of Patrons in the
Ueited States one solitary man who, in the
character of a Patron, has said one word or
performed one act incompatible with bis
professions of neutrally iu partisan politics.
in the face of our frequently- published
constitutional prohibition, of our declaration
of principles of the addresses of our regu
larly-constituted officials, the Whig contin
ues to hold up before the public ot Virginia
tbe Patrons of Husbandry as a secret politi
cal party. With ju?t as much propriety the
Pai ron might charge that there are men in
Virginia who would not hesituie to sacrifice
the dearest interests of this noble old Com
monwealth to advance the selfish schemes
of a mad ambition ; that the-e men fear the
power of the granges to defeat tiieir heart
less efforts at self-aggrandizement, and would
uot hesitate at any act of malevolence calcu
lated to bring the order into disrepute; that
they have subsidized mouthpieces, whose
hostility to th? Patrons is dictated in the se
ciet conclaves of a few men who manipu
late primnry political meetings and who boast
that they carry the Legislature of the State
in their breeches' pockets.
Again, if I am not mistaken, the Whig
stigmatizes the order as "dirty little
graneeV'and would convey the idea that
the "members are obscure, illiterate, &<\
There are now forty-two granges in Virginia,
twenty-four of them having teen organized
since the 1st of January. 1 do not believe
thai 1 baz.ird an>thing in s*;ir?? tbat thesfj
forty-two granges represent fully $10,000,000
of the landed property of this State. There
is every indication that before tbe close of
the year there will be at least three hundred
granges. Yet, the Whig docs not hesitate to
class these Virginians among agrarians, com
munists, and socialists. But tbe Whig goes
farther, and does what a score of years ago
would have shocked a Virginia gentleman.
It grossly insults the women of our order
bv^comparing them to " Cousin Sally Dil
ia'ras." Surely, " Whom the ?ods would de
stroy they first make mad." The women
who" have entered the granges in Virgiuii
o<cupy influential social positions, and are
rrgaided bv tbe people among whom they
live as the" exponeuis ot all that is pure
and true in tbe sex. Besides, they
a-e accompanied by their husbands and
tat her.-, and these husbands and fathers are
Virginians? " native and to the manner
boi r." These ladies, guarded by those who
watch with a jealous eye their honor and
good name, have found nothing that would
induce the blush of saaine to the brow of a
vestal virgin. Yet these women, thus guarded
by their lawful protectors, are to be held up
to the scorn and ridicule of society as shame
less Amazons, who would 4<histe up their
petticoats aud wade in."
The Whig is opposed to the grange?. It
has a perfect right to be. Tbe Patrons do
not court its favor nor fear its opposition :
but it is respectfully submitted that tbe good
name and fame of our women is not a legiti
mate theme for public discussion.

?A new census has just been completed by

city to be about ttl, 000? an increase of 10,000
since tbe last regular census. This indicates
growth and prosperity ; but it is one of the

are faat extending her wholesale trade, all
mark Richmond as the future great" city of
Uie South Atlantic States, the manufacturing
and business centre of seven populous States.
The rapidity with which Hichmood has re*J
cuperated since the war, under unfavorable
circumstances, gtVes tbe strongest assurance
of the manner in wbfeb she wfll gra?p and
make use of ber opportunities in tbe future,
under the more favorable circumstances that
must for ber characterize comfog years.
There is a marked difference between the
prosperity of Richmond and tbut of certain
western and southern cities that have come
under our observation in tbi.*, that there is
nothing forced or unhealthy in its growth or
prosperity. Its increase has kept even pace
with tho demands of its trade. There bas
been no unhealthy, feverish excitement,
causing a rush of superabundant popult-;
tion, with wild and extravagant notions of;
busing, IQ be fo{.'owet| by region, dull
ness, flbll general stagnation. On tli6 con
trary, there is notbiDg stagnant about Rich
mond. Tbe pulse of its business beats even
and regular, and to-day it is really far more
prosperous than many more populous cities.
In our own section we notice an increasing
respect for Richmond as' a commercial cen
tre, a growing pride in her prosperity, and a
steady growth of the wholesale trade with
her merchants. Thanks to the enterprise
and Jiberality of the' latter, this U the case; I
and we are informed through reliable sources j
of information that this increase is noticea
ble cach year. And by all considerations of
State pride and mutual interest?, we hope it
may continue.- Bedford Sentinel. I
Washington Forever. ? [Fredericksburg
Ledger .] ? We concur in the sentiment in
favor of Washington city as the place for tbe!
grand centennial celebration on tbe 4th of
July, 1876. There is no city in the country '
so admirably adapted to the magnificent
pageant which will be then displayed. The
broad and beautiful avenues, the capacious I
public grounds, and the accommodation for1
the immense assemblage of the centennial,
all speak in favor of Washington. Nothing
pleads in favor of Philadelphia except an
antiquarian sentimeutalism, which weighs,
nothing in comparison with tbe advantages
of Washington. I
