Virginia Senatorial Nomina

- This protracted straggle has ended in
the nomination of Gen. R.’ E. Wither*,
tho Lately elected Lieut. Governor of the
State, by a small majority over cz-Scna-
tor Hunter, who, under the caucus rule
of dropping tho lowest candidate on every
ballot, slono remained to contest the
nomination at the final vote. It is prob
able that outside of Virginia, at least,
tho defeat of Hunter will be sincerely re
gretted. Ho was a wise, safe, prudent
and well-balanced man, and his return to signed-by somo thirty or forty nogroes

spected would have been hailed with sat

Gen. Withers has yet a reputation to
mako in national politics. Ho was a*gal.

since tho war, has distinguished himself
a* a vigorous and incisive writer in tho
columns of tho Lynchburg Ncws^of which
he was political editor.
In 1SG0. General Withers was nomina
t.id for (lovernor by tho Democracy of
Virginia, but subsequently withdrew in
favor of Gilbert C. Walker, Use Con erva-
tive candidate, in order to insure the de

year there was a very clo.se contest in the
Conservative Convention between Kem
per and Withers for tho gubernatorial
nomination, and after Withers was beaten,
ho was persuaded to accept tho nomina
tion for Liont. Governor, in order to com

Wo cannot conclude this paragraph
without a well inorited compliment to
the representatives of tho Virginia Dem
ocracy in this long and arduous straggle
for the nomination. That it did not ter
minate in a failure to make any nomina
tion, leaving the K.ulieals to dispose of
the office among the contestants, is much
to tho credit of tlio Democratic ropre.scn
lativo: of the people. Tlio friend* of all
the candidates have displayed extraordi
nary vigor and persistence, but they have
not suffered their strong personal prefer
ences to overcome that fealty to tho com
mon object* and interests of the party
which every good Democrat should main
tain. They displayed an excellent and
honorable spirit in adopting, at the .last
meeting, a course of action which wa*
bound to secure tiro choice of the Demo
cratic majority, and not eventuate in that
of tho legislative radical minority.

ing out the.school clause of the bill and
declaring it to he tho most Important
feature in it. Their argument substan
tially is that if white children of tender
years are forced to sit and associate with
negro children at school, all instincts of
aversion on the part of tho former will
soon disappear, and they speedily come
to tlio point of recognizing no race differ
ence at all, and tho way thus lie opened
for amalgamation. We don’t think thole

argument, and neither docs tho Chronicle

We predict some lofty talk, at least, on

should Mr. Cushing's nomination he de
feated ? Is he hot learned in the law ?
A gentl. man ? A man of fine part* nn.l

There eon he but one answer to all these

in overruling tlio nomination. What is
tlio matter ? ■ We can think of hut one

doubtful on the dogmas of ultra Radical
ism. It is probable that on a question
between these humbugs and sound con
stitutional law the humbugs uould stand
no'great chance with tiim. We think he
wonld not sacrifice his reputation as a
man of sense and a clear-headed jurist
to the Radical Dagon, and tliat is what
hurts. The party can’t afford to have
such men on tho Supreme Bench.

BtruoLAEs Bagged. — On Saturday
morning last tho store of Messrs. F. M.
Myrell & Co., at tho foot of West Broad
street, was discovered to havo been robbed
somo time during tho night of a consid
erable quantity of goods. The fact was
reported to officer Kaufman, who, in tho
course of a few hours succeeded In tracing
three, who were believed to bo concerned
in tbe robbery, to a house on Fahm street.
Two of these, John Hays and Win. Sereny,
he captured, but the third, George Lud-
don, as soon 'as ho saw him, suddenly
darted nnder the house. Kaufman de
tected this, but made no attempt to se
cure the fellow then, as he was desirous
of having tho two already captured safely
jugged. As he was leaving tho house
with the pair, a negro woman, one of the
inmates, cried oat, ‘‘Lookout Mr. Kauf
man, those men are about to cut you.”
Instantly tho officer’s little persuader
was introduced, and one of the fellows
forced to surrender an ugly looking
knife with which, it is supposed, ho
was very anxious to reaeii for the
liver of the constable. After placing
Hays and Sereny in the custody of a po-
lieenrfn. officer Kaufman returned to the
house, secured George Luddon, and al60
diw’ovcrod a large quantity of dry goods
and a bag of shoes, a portion of the prop
erty stolen from Messrs. Myrell A Co.
IVoin this fellow the officer learned that
a party by the name of Arthur McIntyre,
staying at a house on Pepper Hill, was
concerned in the robbery, and subse
quently officer Kaufman captured him at
the house of Tqnoy Callenn, whilst ho
was enjoying jiis virtuous slumbers. Tho
quartette were brought before Magistrate
Elsinger, and, in default of $3,000 bail
each, were committed to jail, to answer
the charge of burglary in the night. Gal-
lena's premises were visited during the
ion. Perfectly appreciating the fact,
tant married women may have read muffs
books, French people are astounded to
find t’rat young girl3 should have done
so. They wonder what sort of parents
those girls can have, and are at once
proj udiced against all alike. When upon
thi* they see those girls in society acting
with all the freedom of married women,
is it to bo wondered at, that Europeans
should be so apt to think slightingly of
them ?
Swedish Immigration.
She Sun says tho people of the South
ern States who are desirous of securing
white immigration may perhaps gain
hints of value from tho experience of
Maine in colonizing Now Sweden, in the
northern wilderness of that State. In
December, 1371, the colony of New Swe
den was founded, and it now numbers GOO
soul*. Tho colonists haTO taken up 20,-
000 aero? of land, havo felled 2,200 acres
of forest, and havo seeded. 400 acres of
gra*s land. Tho State furnished the
Sweles from tho founding of the colony
in 1S71, to September 30, 1873, tho sum
of $24,321, of which tho Swedes have
repaid $8,023 in labor on public roads,
leaving a balance of a littlo more than
$lG,030, whieli is to ho paid in road labor
when wanted. Provisions and tools were
tho principal articles supplied to the
colonists by the State, which also put up
twenty-six houses to receivo them on
thoir arrival. Since then tho Swedes
havo built 10-1 houses, 130 bams, two
steam shingle mills, and one water-power
saw mill. One hundred and thirty men
of tbe colony havo declared their inten
tion of becoming American citizens. But
this is not all In addition to tho GOO
Swedes in Now Sweden there are 900
friends and relatives of tho colonists scat
tered through tho State, adding by their
industry to the wealth of tho community.
Tho 1,500 Swedes in Maine all paid then-
own passage to this country, and brought
with them $100,000 in cash. It is esti
mated that as a producing force these im
migrants are worth $1,500,000 to the
State, and all this has been accomplished
by the intelligent expenditure of less
than $25,000, a third of which has already
been repaid in labor on public works, and
the remainder of which will also be repaid
in duo time.

Senator Hamlin and Sherman, with
several members of the House of Repre
sentatives and other distinguished indi-
vidnals, say3 tho Sun, recently visited
the fine plantation of Colonel Effingham
Lawrence, in Plaquemines, La. They
were conducted through tho extensive
sugar-mill and refinery, were shown the
operation of the -steam ploughs with
which the enterprising proprietor of the
estate furrows his rich lands, and were
afterward refreshed with a sumptuous
dinner. Senator Hamlin was so delighted
with his reception that he remained for
timo at the house of Colonel Lawrence
after tho remainder of tho party had
gone, and when finally he was obliged to
tear himself away from the pleasant spot
ho endeavored to repay his hospitable
host for the courtesies which had
been extended to him by a little practical
advice, given in the character of a
Congressman of many years’ standing
“Oh! CoL Lawrence,” ho said, “as lonp
as you have this beautiful place, and can
employ yourself in the noble occupation
of a cultivator of the soil, never aspire to
political life—least of all to a scat in Con
gress.” To fully appreciate tho signifi
cance of the refreshing gosh of senti
ment from such a tough old politician as
Hannibal ilrmlin, ifc should be remem
bered that Col. Lawrence was elected to
the present Congress by a majority of
several thousand votes, but that -owin'-
to the rascality of Hamlin’s political as°
sociates ho is prevented from taking his
seat, which is occupied by a disreputable
carpet-bagger named Sypher, who does
not pretend that he was ever elected, but
basc3 his claim to tho place on affidavits
from negroes that they would have voted
for him if they had had an opportunity
of doing so—the great majority of these
affidavits having been forged, according
to the testimony of the agent of Sypher
who fabricated them.

Tlie Religious Faith of Agassiz,
I cannot close this hasty and inade
quate, yet fervent nnd hearty tribute
without -recalling to your memory the
reverent spirit in which ho pursued his
scientific labors. Nearly forty years ago,
in his first gre-lt work on fossil fishes, in
developing hi* principal of classification,
he wrote: "An invisible thread iu all
ages runs through this immense diver
sity, exhibiting as a general result the
fact tliat there is a continual progress in
development, ending in man. The four
classes of vertebrates present the inter
mediate steps, and invertebrates a con
stant accessory accompaniment. Havo
wo not here nn iinmon s mind as power
ful as prolific, the acts of an intelligence
as sublime as provident, the marks of a
goodnc-s* as infiniteils wi tlio most pal
pable deraonstation of the existence of a
personal God.tlieaut’ior of all things, ruler
of tho universe, and dispenser of all good ?
This, at least, is what I read in the works of
creation.” Butitiswhat hecverrond.and
read with profound awe and admiration.
To this exalted faith lie was invincibly
loyal. No laws of nature were to him tho
eternal word of God. His repugnance to
Darwinism grew in a great part from his
apprehension of its athc-istical tendency
—an apprehension which at best I cannot
sharq, for I forget not that those theo
ries now in the ascendant are adopted by
not a few determined Christian men; and
while they seem to mo not only unproved
but improvable, I could deem thc-m truth
without parting with one iota of my faith
in God and Christ. Yeti can bestsym-
patSize most heartily with him in the
spirit with which he resisted what seem
ed to him to le33en the majesty of the
Master and supporter of the universe.
Nor was his a mere theoretical faith. His
whole life, in its pervading spirit of ser
vice, in its fidelity to arduous duties, in
its simplicity and truthfulness, bespoke
one who was sincerely fulfilling a mission
from God to his fdlow-men.— Or. Pea-

UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE 00.
Q3F NEW YOBK.
THE ORIGINAL STOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE UNITED STATES. .
This Company possesses tlio followin',- attractive features:
1st. Its premiums are from 120 to 25 per cent, less than those usually charged
by other companies, thus enabling those contemplating insurance to secure beyond
contingency about one tided more insurance than tho same premium will secure in a
mutual company.
2J. These premiums are justified by experience, and more nearly accord with the
existing conditions of the basis of tbo business tiian those of any other company or
ganized in the State of New York. Their sufficiency and propriety havo been abund
antly verified by the approval of the best financiers an.l actuaries in tho country.
3d. The Universal offers a fair, straightforward and business-like contract—so
much insurance for so much premium.
4th. Everything promised in the Company’s advertising documents is guaranteed in its
policy, including an equitable surrender-value clause, in which a stated amount of
paid-up life or paid-up term insurance is given for each year of the policy.
5th. Losses paid in thirty days after proof of death.
®^?*.The Company hasis3ucd over 20,000 policies; 13 in a-sound and flourishing
condition, and enjoying a rapidly increasing patronage.
7th. Ample security. The ratio of assets to liabilities is 110 per cent., or in other
words, the Company ha3 $140 for each $100 of its indebtedness.
