TBK people of Virginia approach Con- (rew with ft strong Jfgal support in asking to be admitted under the Alexandria Con- itiwtion. It nfM valid nuthority for ft government in this State, when tha whole territory, tho' Rappahannock to the Koanoke, and from the Shennndoah to tho western boundary, was bold by hostile to the United States. Upon its validity, its oxistsneo dejure, rests all the reality of "West Virginia as a 'State.

And this denied, the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment a qncttion yet to be decided. It is case without a flaw. It may. derive strength as political capital if properly presented. Congress, during the last three years, lias ucumed and maintained tho right of ci- Clusive jurisdiction in the maner of reconstruction.

It lias oisrcome tha counter claim of the Executive, and it has received from thepeoj.leiu the lato election a practical endorsatiois of policy with a renews! of power. And, (it it useless to bo choice' of phrases when di.cusiirg vital mutteri), Supremo Court, wilh anises upon its records, already heard, involving the constitutionality of the Reconstruction Acts, has shirked rendition of opinion in such manner as to piece that tribunal entirely beyond the reach of reasonable hope as to assistance in the premiss: has beetf and is practically supreme, and it it wilh Congress that wo are to deal. Thero are those who think aii appeal to Chief Justice CHASE snd his learned associates the only, and a very promising, use to be made of Virginia's peculiar position. But we remember the McAsDLE case, and in the same moment recall the fuel that an election will be held in in a few months. "We should pass into thraldom before our case had reached its infancy on the retired list of the venerable Court.

A demand upon would be senseless, of course. petition might procure the desired -response; were the Alexandria Constitution remodelled so as to iccoguizu universal suffrage, and so as to execute the Congressional enactments consequent upon the Eo-n-JUU) Amendment, to be offered as the basis reconstruction which would be acceptable to. the people of Virginia (is well as in Accord with the national policy.

At to new candidates--(it ie only aoi O-VK of the of the world gouty to obtain eligibility under tho llth which we happen to live in at present, is that we can almost anything here except the precise thing which we want. Sensible people soon find thii out, and adjust themselves to circumstance at comfortably as they can. As for tho impractl- cables, as UURKE very pithily says, if they will cry for tho moon, they must cry on." Virginia, liko all other of the earth, is infested with impractirbloa-- disciples of fine phi-sues and admirable sen- tiiurms, which are very good in their way, and to which uobody objects, but which are nothing but phrases and sentiments after all. The question upon which the anil the are at present divided in this State, is the question of negro suffrage. Recognising it as inevitable, tho propose to make tho best of it.

Ignoring thefact in a mystical and misty sort of way, tho impraeti- cablesfil! the land with bursts of indignant eloquence at the gross materiality of those tvho cuooso lo recognize a fact, and who propose to regulate their action in accordance to things not, as they might bo or ought to be, but as they are. This is very ofi'oiuivo and very absurd sort of conduct in the of impractical traascen- dontiilists and tcntimentu! immaterialisls, and we must confess Hut it is open to tho objection of being dictated by plain common sense nnJ good policy. There seems he somu inexplicable muddle in tho logical faculties of thcae trana- amendment)--our friend must imagine some great inherent weakness iu tbe ticket lit eu gallantly defends Irom attacks which has made, ha might suppose that the people who so Ihoroughly endorse hia views would certainly renoiniuato the gentlemen "jhosu namei no recently adorned thecolumns of all the decent papers in Virginia." The fact is that it is as unwise as unjust to attempl to view the movement of which PHILOB was the first outspoken advocate us a war upon men, or for men. The ISDKX, at least, is wedded to much higher considerations. It has no choice for candidates.

save that which may be announced by Convention which may, and wo earnestly trust for the goed of Virginia will, be holdcu. cendentul politic-inns. irreversible decree for negro suffragu has already gone forth from a power able and determined to enforce it, and yet we poor practicable 1 cannot help recognizing the la if we would, nre fiecused of inviting and soliciting the infliction of an oril because we are trying tc palliate or. cure it. It would bo just about sa rational for man to refuse to take remedy for the "black vomit 1 because was opposed on principln (o tho "black vomit," and it would be aa just to charge such a man with encouraging "black vomit" to charge the people who propose to remedy negro suffrage, trhich is inevitable and existent, with favoring it bringing it about.

subsequent bills; and tbo Constitution by iu supererogatory proscription baa received tho outspoken condemnation of many of tbe Republicans most wedded to (lie scheme of restoration containsd in tho neis already alluded to. It can be no part of tho purpose of any element in Congress to seo tho Republican policy develop in Virginia into a miserable caricature upon Government which could cast nothing but discredit upon all concerned in its origin or Us administration. It can conducy no doirnble end to reject tho request of this Southern community, tbo first, corning forward with frank acknowledgment und of the termi laid down by Congress, and asking simply an endurable which will neither be a yoke of iron tu the community it controls, nor a b-irning disgrace to tho national system and administration Which could itn ufl'shuot to hap and corrupt, tha iiule body TEE letter of PHILOS-HVS! the stig- gestion of a policy nor iho plan for its effactivu It was bimply an nf a conviction which already failed in the public mind.
