ALEXANDRIA:
SATURDAY MORNING, FEB. 8, 1884
MIR. RIVES, SPEECH.

We have read with satisfaction and pleasure
the able speech of Mr.. RIvEs, delivered IN the
Senate on Mr. Clay's resolutions concerning
the removal of the Deposites-a pleasure Whlcn
was, to be sure, mingled with regret at witness
ing what we conceived to be a misapplicatlon
of the great powers of the Senator from Virgil
nia-but nevertheless heightened from the fact,
that though differing, toto c9lo, from the no
norable gentleman, we were constrained to adj
nit the correctness Of many Of his propositions;
to agree with many parts of his argument; and
to admire, throughout, the tone, and temper,
and manner, and ability, with which he discuss
es the question.
A day or two after the speech was delivered,
an off hand, loose and incorrect report oft ia
ken rough from the notes of the Reporter, was
published by us to allay public curiosity, then
much excited to see the views of Mr.. Rives.-
Having published that report, it is not now in
our power to present the whole of the correct
ed report Of the speech to our readers. We
take this opportunity, however, to perform this
act of Justice torso able an effort.
The speech of Mr.. Rives on the Revenue Col
lection Bill, and the one recently made on the
Deposite question, establish his claims to hold a
high place among the Statesmen and Orators OF
our country; and difference Of political views
shall never induce us to deny those claims, OF
refuse to honor him whenever honor is due
Should the "sword of Damocles"-which, as he
once eloquenty said, he knew was suspended
over his head-be loosed for its Office. it would
hardly give us pleasure. The Old Dominion
in our opinion, may well be proud him as hel

selling from stores, we apprehend an immediate
decline. The stock on hand, yet to be dispos-

some Of it sold for IL 1-2 or 25 cents less than
