Virginia CongreSßnien.
The Richmond Whig urges the
selection of candidates at tho ap
proaching election in Virginia who
can tuke the oath of allegience,
and save that if the people of Vir
ginia send delegates to Washington
who cannot take the oath of admis
sion, those delegates will not be ad
mitted, and Virginia w 11 go unrep
resented. We repeat, therefore, 'lie
question to be considered and do i
ded at the polls on theseennd Thurs
day in October, by the people of
Virginia, is, not by whom they shall
be represented, but whether they
will be represented at all. If
they cast their votes for men who
cannot take the prescribed oath they
might as well vote for the Emperor
of France or the Bey of Tunis. No ;
use of arguing that this ought to be j
so, and swearing about it; it is so,
and we have to meet the fact. But
says some one, that will b" change I. j
It wi'l not b • changed unless >Soutii-!
em delegates can be got into Con- |
greßS to help change it, and it is
precisely for this reason that we
should elect only men who can take
the oath and cast their votes for re
scinding the obnoxoua law. "Better,
said a member of the Administration j
the other day in Washington, "that
Virginia should send a delegation of
idiots to Washington if only they j
could say yes upon the vote tore- ■
scind the 1 w, than a delegation of
her wisest and best men who co Id
not take the oath."
New YORK, September 13. —The |
Tribune's Raleigh correspondent says j
the giving of rations to the whites ;
will cease on tho lijth. Notwith- !
standing that they have immense j
crops in the field, they continually j
cry to " Give,give, give!" Therearej
no cloved people in Raleigh receiv
ing rations, they providing for them-,
selves. A good many whites have i
either sold the rations given lliem by 5
the Government, or fattened their
hogs on them.
—The police force of Titusville has
beer, increased by the addition of
of our night watchmen.

THIS INVENTION* consists of DUPLEX (or two) ELLLI
tfe inn* Refilled Bteel Springe, ißniilotlel} brtdw tlgbt-
Ivand firmly together, edge to edge, making the tough
est, most flexible, ela-tie and durable Spring ever u-ed.
They seldom bend or break, like the Single Springs, and
consequently preserve their perfect and benutiful Bhap»*
moreth n twiee as long as any single Spring Skirt that I
Kver Has or Can be made.
The wonderful flexiiulity and great comfort and I
) leisure to any Lady wearing the Duplex Ell ptic Skirt
will be experienced particularly In all crowded Assem
blies, Operas. Carriages, Pall road Cars, Church Pews,
Aim Chairs, for Piomenade and House I)resi. as the
Skirt can be folded when in use to occupy a small place
as easily and conveniently a* a Silk or Mielin Dross.
A Lady having enjoyed the IMcasuie, Comfort and Oreat
Convenience of tlie Duplex Elliptic teclSpriug
Skiit b.r a single day will Never afterwards willingly
dispense with their use For Children, Misses, and Young
bailies they are sujieiior to till other*.
TilE HOOPS are covered with 2 ply double twiste.l
thread and will wear twice as long a* the Single yarn
covering which is used on »ll Single Steel Hoop Skiits.
The three bottom rods on every ,-kirt are also Double
Steel, and twice or double covered to prevent the cover
ing from wearing off the n»d* when dragging down stair*
stone • eps, Ac.. Ac., which they are constantly subject
to when in use.

brinu: to the discu-sion of political and social questions
a really critical spirit, and to wage war upon the vices of
violence exagerutioti, and misrepresentation by which
so much of the political wilting of the day is marred.

work with care, has started on a journey thiough the
South. 1 lis letters will appear liereniter every week,
and he la charged with the duty of simply reporting what
he seen and hears, leaving the public as far as posolble
todraw its own Inferences.
