Our readers will recollect that a few nuaniis ajo some oxeite nient was created in Virginia bv the act of Governor Kemper in vetoing the Pete ysburr charter. Instrument devisi hy the Democrats of that city to'vreue!i ii- m Kejinblicaii hands this hith erto Re)-tib!iean eitv. Tliat clnir ter practical ly took from t he peo j 1 t i t e p( w e r of c I ect i n ir 1 1 i ei r uvn officers, and jhie'-'d tiieir ap pt:iiitiucut in the hands of the Demt-cratie jude. . Governor Ke tiper's veto excited the rage ir tin; Petersburg Denicjerats to .ueh an extent that thev lnwr him in elhirv, covered the cirv with rdiicards cailir.ir for iive'liun- dred men to go to Richmond to lynch him,, and denounced him in 'the most unmeasured' terms. Foiled in their attempt to gel posseh ;ii of 1 'ete ivtiu rg th rougl i this charter, they determined do it in other ways, and at al! linzards. They obtained authori ty from the Legislature for a new registration, and did their best to prevent as many Republicans from registering as possible. Theii suit cf the registration tltev r6 fused to make public, and, though the law snvs that the re;istra!ion book- shall be open to inspection, tiicv retust d to allow auv Repub liean'to s' e them. Lists 'of regis tered voters were torn down as .soon as posted, and all knowledge as t the result of the registration carefully kept ir.orn the Jiep.nlili eans.

On the Any of election threatsT int initiation, and fraud were the order of the day, but the chief means of defrauding the Repub licans of the election, which they fairly carried .by at least lour hun dred ma jority, was the infamous State law, which provides that where the number of ballots found in the box after closing the polls exceeds the number of votes reet rded on the check-ljt one of tho judges ?hall be blindfolded, and shall draw from the box the number in excess. The Republi cans had a llallot of the usual and ordiuary size ; the Den o ;ratic ballot was printed in the smallest possible type, on the thinnest possible paper, so that tour or live of them folded together did not make so large a parcel as one of those used by the Republican's. Witltthe connivance of the judges it was easy for as many DemocraN ie ballots in excess as was neces sary to accomplish the purpose dq sired to be deposited in the box; and the Democratic judge, being blindfolded, drew .as' nut ny lie publican ballots ;fr6m the box as were in excess, .the 'difference in size and paper enabling any one hy the. sense of touch alone to make the selection. In these ways the Republican majority was overcome and the announcement made hy thejudges that the Democratic candidates were elected by over'. five hundred majority. The 'Republicans deci ded that they would, not tamely submit to this outrage, and.', have sworn out warrants and caused th? an est often of the judges of election on charges or fraud and intimidation. This action has caused intense excitement in Petersburg,xaud threats of vio lence and of lybehmg the ReomV cans wlio have been active in this effort to (dtain justice have been I freely uttered.

Fears arc entertained that these gentle men or ther prominent Repub licans will be assassinated by the nitric' us, -vho seem to be wild with rage and passion, and unless pro tection's given -the Republicans blood will be frte'v shed. The President has directed the Attor ney General to instruct the Uni ted States Marshal of Virginia -to sutMi:on a sufncient posse to pro tect -the Government buildings and ofilcers, and if:-Vnecessary troops will be ordered toT?etcrs- burg from Fort Monroe. Frauds similar to those in Pe tessburg have also been perpetra ted in Portsmouth, another Re- 'publican city, and unless some means exist-or-can be provided to prevent the repetition of them and t o p u n i s h t h e p e r j i c t ra t o rs o f t h os e already committed, free suffrage is destroyed in Virginia and elec tions are a mockery. We trust examples may be made that will deter those who in the-. future would report to such means to 'defeat' the popular will and carry out their liaudulent schemes. Washington Uironiile.

Her ears had caught the words in a conver sation that Was going on in the room. .--"u Yes," answered her brother; " he drank them all up." '. Drank fifteen cows ! I don't believe it," answered the little maiden, firmly. " He sold them, and bought whiskvaud beer with the money," exclaimed AuntKatv. ."Oh, oh, that was it.. I see now. Well, it isfunnv." " Xo, not funny; dear, but sad," said Aunt Katv. 4tThe man had a wife and two little children, and he sold the milk from fifteen cows and bought them food and cloth ing. But now havinar swallowed the cows, as we were saying, his wife and children go hungry and cold, and he, a poor miserahhj drunkard, in the almshouse. Isn't it dreadful tc think of?" The children looked verv sober. " You'll never catch me drink up fifteen cows, nor one, either," said George, very positively.

IIow was it? lie hean by taking a glass ol ale or beeror a little wine at parties now and then. This corrupted his pure taste, ami e;ave him an unnatural thirst, which only strong drink could 'satisfy. After ale and beer came whiskc', rum and brandy; and the more his thirst increased, un til he became a poor, misera ble I drunkard. So you see, George, that no man can tell what he mav come to. Mavbe, instead of f.wallowing fifteen cowf, you will get down, one of these days after vou become a inan, forty or- fifty cows, and a house into the bargain." u Xow. auntv, this 'is too had !" exclaimed George.

Chief Justice Waite decided that a man can waive his right to a home stead exemption because the law it s df gives him that privilege.

The refnsd of the Ohio Iigislature to change the name of John Satan to John Adams was a bit of meanness to which we woman t have snppof el that even the Ohio Legislature could KavR hftpn induced to Stoop. Voun er Journal "Let vrell alone, as said to the teetotlex. tippler y the The Sanies "Jolm" and "lYil- Ever since the Conquest, Mr. Bardsley informs us that the race for popularity among Christian names in England has been greatest be twsen "John" and "William." In the age after the arrival of the Nor mrjis, "William" sras the commonest christian name. In Domesday, for instance, there are 68 "Williams," 48 --Roberts," anH 38 "Walters," but no "Johns." In 1773, at a banquet given at the Court of Henry IL, it was commanded that none but those of the name of "William" should dine at it, and accordingly 120 "Williams," all knights, sat down to the table. In Edward I.'s time, this proportion Had become less marked, for in a list of Wiltshire names, con taining 388, there are 92 "WillLams" to 88 "Johns." In a century after "John" had outstripped its com petitor. In 134G out of 133 Com mon Councilmen for Eondon 35 were "Johns," the next highest name be ing "William"' with 17, while "Thomas" in consequence of the canonization of Becket, springs into notoriety with 15. In 1335 the guild at St George, at Norwich, in a total of 376 names, possessed 128 "Johns" to 47 "Willras" and 41 "Thomases." From this period, owing to the two saints who bore that name, and despite the averson felt for the worthless monarch who had borne it, "John" retained its supremacy, and to this circumstance we owe the name of "John Bull," as well as the "Jean Gotdam." by which the French called us "all through the Middle Ages. "William retained, as Mr. Bardslay says, "a sturdy second place." It fared worst at the hands of the Puritans, who rejected it as a Pagan name with horror ; but it re covered its ascendancv with William of Orange and the Protestant Revolution, and it now stands, as I it did eight centuries ago, at the head of all the baptismal registers, vhile John has again sunk into thesecond place. Our EJaallsh Surnames. Funny But Not I!e:isaul. An amusing incident oceiirrpd on a train in New York State re cently. A newly married couple entered the car and took a seat. The husbaud wanting to . smoke, left his wife ami went into the smoking car. The bride began to doze, arid while she slept a stranger entered the car, and, as it was crowded, quietlr took ,a seat , beside the "' young wife. Shortly she began to nod, 'and doubtless imagining that her hus band was still in the seat, geut reclined toward the stranger, and soon her head fondly - nestled on bis breast. At this juncture the husband retm-ued. He stood in mute astonishment in the aisle until tutJ.lady awoke, and, realiz ing the situation, drew back Tin amazement, suffused with blush es. Stranger explained, husband was satistied, and wife tried hard to appear unconcerned. mo- 4 What it Cost to Soil a Friar.

After the council was called to order the first busiv ness was the election of a Regent, the official term of the late Regent havins exnired, and Madame Bergmans was elected to the office iy an unauimous vote. The report of the association was read, and shows that during the past fiscal 3rear all outstanding debts of the association have been paid off, and that necessary re pairs have been made upon the mansion and estate. The con tributions during the year have been a3 follow: Pennsylvania $1,350 to endowment fund, of which 1,100 was given hy Mr. Charles Macalester, 100 by Mr. Richard Penisten, $100 by Mrs. W. S.

These are lonely days at the White House. To one of the Centennial Committee, of ladies who' waited upon himdast and invited him and his family to join the pilgrimage to Mount 'Vernon, the President re plied, while acceping for himself, "I have no family now. You know my daughter is across the ocean and my , sons are all away. For the nrst time in twenty five years Mrs. Grant and myself are alone." Theie ja a pathos in this few can fail to appre ciate. The only daughter, the idol of the household, has gone to make ; her ' home among- strangers ; the eldest son is attending to his mili tary duties elsewhere ; the second son, Ulysses, is finishing: his course at Harvard ; and the youngest, Jesse, is at boarding-school in or near, Philadelphia. So it happens that, "for the first time in - twenty five years," the Priesident and his wife are "alone." Loving parents as they are, this, being alone is doubtless deeply felt by the President and Mrs. Grant Jss Grundy in the JVew York Graphic.
