VIRGINIA ELECTION.

The following, from the Nashville Wing of
June 5th, is the latest intelligence we have re-
ceived from Virginia. The contest has been
a close one, and thus far the sink or spin"
party of Mr.. Richie have gained from the last
election; but the relative strength of parties
viii not be materially varied. Both parties,
undoubtedly, made tremendous efforts; and
whichever of them bears off the palm of victo-
ry, 1t vii, be well known that they have labori-
opsly earned it. Next week we probably will
be in possession of the official returns from the
whole state.
The additional returns, received since Mon
day incline us to the belief that the Wings and
Conservatives will be hard pressed to secure a
majority IN the Legislature. The majority in
the Senate viii be changed from Locofoco to
Whig-and it is almost certain that the major
ity in the House of Delegates will be changed
the other way. The Congressional delegation
will stand as before.

elected. Hunter has been run to the girth BY

PUBLIC EXPENDITURES

The Democrat of this City has again

King soilfal errors respecting the national ex-
penditures. Perhaps the Editors of that Jour-
nal cannot see as clearly as the common run Of

not believe the truth at any time, particularly

THE WAY PRINTERS ARE PAID.
On looking over our books, last week, we
ascertained that we have more than three thou
sand dollars due US Cor Job work, Advertising
and Subscriptions, for the year 1888. What
our charges arc since the LIST of January last,
we know not, but presume they will amount to
about one half the above named sum. Here,
then, is $4,5O0, whichwe have earned by hard
physical and mental labor, due US, and to OBJ
tain it we have to earn it second time by
dunning and dunning and dunning. We are
tired of this, and as our creditors viii sue us II
we do not pay them, we shall be compelled to
sue CIR debtors unfortunately, if they don't
: pay US. II those who owe us would pay VIII; [
they are honestly indebted, the pathway we
tread would be more easy than it is. We have
come to the unalterable conclusion of abandon
! ing the credit system in our business and the
rules adopted by our contemporaries at Natchez,
Manchester, &C., which appear in our paper
to-day will be, by us, strict y adhered to, with
this exception, viz: To strike from our list
every subscriber who neglects to settle for his
newspaper by the first of September, instead
of October, when new volume OF the Argus
will commence. We are happy to say that we
have on our subscription list large number Of
REAL PATRONS, who pay in advance; to them
we return thanks,-but upon those who are
in arrears we cannot lavish our thanks until
they pay up honorably. By this course we
shall probably diminish the circulation of our
paper, but we shall save our paper, ink ard
labor in proportionate ratio.

pondent ofthe Columbus Democrat, (by the by,
very apt pair will devote bis attention to
the payment of few honest debts in "old
Lowndes," instead of dishonesty fleeing to
Texas, for the purpose of avoiding the same,
we presume it viii be much more acceptable
to some of his Wing creditors, than the ad-
vice he assumes to give concerning our future

author of this correspondence of the Democrat,

DIR POSTMASTER.

Mr.. Editor called in our Post Office a
few days since and asked for my papers; a
stranger presented his face at the box and asked
my number. On leaving the Office enquired
of friend who it was, and was informed that
it was the Postmaster at Jackson. Is it usual
for Postmasters to admit all of Amos Kendall s
deputies in their offices, or has our Postmaster
and the Jackson Postmaster formed copart-
nership in the two offices, to divide the spoils!
I see that our Postmaster has gone down to
Jackson, suppose to see if their branch there
is doing a good business,-and while he is of,
we are left to suffer in waiting for the mails to
be opened. Can't Amos be informed what
his subjects are doing in Mississippi! H.
