most popular man, for his popular qualities — the miserable pittance attached to the office attracts every loafer and drone who is too lazy to earn a livelihood in any other way, and such persons are but too apt to succeed through demagogue arts, over the best men of a county. There are other points to which we would allude, had we not already made this article too long. But they will be easily understood. Let us exorcise the foul spirit of Yankeeism from our institutions; let us go back, as near as we can, to the old Constitution of George Mason, or whoever drew up the Constitution of 1776--the most perfect form of government the world ever saw. It was an evil day for Virginia when she first departed from it. From that day to this every step in advance has been a plunge in the mire. If there are any members with weak knees, we assure them they have nothing to fear. The people are for the change, and the demagogues they leave behind them when they come here cannot hurt them.

This is the most formidable instrument that tyranny ever employed to enslave a free people. It was by methods analogous to it that Tiberius, the most crafty tyrant that ever existed, succeeded in crushing the better classes in Rome, and in treading out the last spark of liberty that had been left unextinguished by his predecessor.

ompanies to be filled as heretofore. All appointments made by the Governor to be submitted to the Senate for confirmation. Commandants of regiments and independent battalions shall recommend editable persons to fill vacancies among company officers in their respective regiments and battalions, which recommendations shall not be obligatory, but shall be communicated to the senate by the Governor, with his nomination to fill such vacancy; all such nominations, as well as those of General and Field officers to lie on the table one week before being acted on. When the militia are needed for active service, the Governor will first call out the active class, or such portion of it as may be necessary, unless the exigency is such as to require both the active class and the reserve, but he need not call out the entire active class before calling out any portion of the reserve in all cases when the reserve is called out, it shall be believed as speedily as possible by the active class.

of the active class as follows: All under 26 years of age, three years and all the rest, two years. Service as a volunteer, as well heretofore as hereafter, will be estimated as service in the active class, but will not shorten the aggregate service which would otherwise have been due from each volunteer; though if he be in service at the time of the passage of the Ordinance, and shall serve continuously two years, no further service will be required from him in the active class, and he will be deemed in the reserve. If the term of service due from a member of the active class be not rendered continuously, he may again be called out for the remainder of the term, but not longer. The foregoing are the main features of the Ordinance, which we may publish in full after. It is arranged in definite shape. It takes effect from its passage, and may be repealed or amended by the General Assembly. The larger portion of the ordinance was prepared by Col. G. W. Randolph, of this city.

Instead of organizing seamen and marines with the militia, the Governor may cause a separate enrollment and organization to be made of all such persons resident in the Commonwealth, whether of military age or not, for a term of servictive class. In time of war, however, the Governor may refrain from making appointments of General officers, or from calling them into service, and may permit the troops to serve under the General officers appointed by the President of the Confederate States, but without prejudice to the Constitutional rights of this Commonwealth volunteer companies to elect four commissioned officers, and vacancies in volunteer and militia companies to be filled as heretofore.
