DINNER TO MR.. RIvES.

Mr.. Rives has accepted the invitation Of his
Republican fellow citizens of Albemarle coun-
ty to dine with them on the goth inst. The
following is his letter accepting the invitation:
CAsrLE Hill, April 5h 1889.
GENTLEMEN--I have received, with the liveliest
senSibility, your communication Of the I'd instant.
The teslimoney it conveys To me OF your approba-
ton of my public conduct Is most dear to me- Il
comes from those, Of whom large majority have
been close and near observers oil my conduct, ever
since have been Called by the confidence Of my fell
low-citizens 10 take any part whatever in public af
fairs Coming, too, from men, whose uniform and
consistent attachment 10 the ilusrious founders and
cherished principles Of the Republican party, is well
known and who were ardent friends to the election
Of the present Chief Magistrate, Gin the hope and be-
lief that he would faithfully carry out t1ose princi-
pes) 1t is cheering indication that the spirit of
party subserviency has not in this ancient and vene-
rable Commonwealth, extnguished those sentiments
OF mandy independence and OF public virtue, which
recognize the good Of The country as the sole legti-
mate end Of party operation, and the only rightiul
test BY which TO try the actions OF pubic men Il =
in obedience to this principle that have felt myself
called on BY every obligation OF patriotism and n
deity to oppose, to the best Of my ability, those mea.
sures Of the administrator, which, with you, De-
ieve to be pernicons TO the interests and dangerous
10 the free Republican Institutions OF our country
Profoundly grateful, gentlemen. for the approba-
tion you have SO cordially expressed OF my conduct
in this and other instances, since have been in the
public service, accept, with pleasure your kind in
vitaion, and shall be most happy TO meet you at the
time and place you have indicated. Accept, pray
you the sentiments OF warm regard and sincere es-
TEEN with which | am your friend and fellow
citizen.

BUSINESS OF PHLADELpHA. Notwithstanding the
pressure upon the money market, we believe there
has been larger business done In Philadelphia this
year than has been transacted for several springs
past. We mean that much greater quantity Of
merchandise has been sold the western merchants
We are now happy TO learn, that the business men
Of our own State, have come into the markets they
are not called upon to present themselves
their western neghbors as they have shorter dis
lance to carry their merchandise. They also have
the advantage Of the reduction In freghls which we
announced yesterday. -Fhiiad. y. s. Gazette.
BUSINESS OF New YoRK- Business this spring
has disappointed the expectations of The sanguine
and even of many who are quite considerable. The
consequence has been, especially In our city that
gloomy feeling has spread over the minds OF many
business men, and this has tended to increase the
mischief. Money is scarce, when every body ex-
pected il would be plenty credits are dubious when
all expected frmness; goods lie heavily on hand, OF
are sold at loss, for which the owners expected a
brisk demand al a profit. Well, what OF III The

We call the attention Of our readers TO the
able and triumphant speech Of Mr.. RTEs, on
the subject of federal interference in elections,
lately delivered in the Senate. The Richmond
Wing speaks Of it as 'masterly production.
II is the ablest speech we have ever seen from
Mr.. Rives. Both in style and doctrine it
would do credit to the first statesman and
purest Republican in the land"

YRciMA,--The contest in Virginia is becoming
very spirited and violent, AMI all parlie are doing
every Thing in their power. The candidates are
nearly all before the people, and in The Albemare
District we notice that the Locofocos have brought
forward General Gordon as theii candidate, who Is
an old federalis and the original author II The Sub
treasury scheme, which he proposed 10 Congress In
1884. being at that time member. Mr.. Garland,
the able Conservative member OF the hss Congress
from this District succeeded in beating General
Gordon In 1895, upon the very ground Of having
advocated system for the administration OF The
finances so very absurd In this canvass against
Gordon, Mr. Garland was very much aided by the
Richmond Enquirer, which bounced down upon his
opponent with great severity. Bnl the tables are
turned. The administration having "ehaaged 'front.'
and become the advocate OF old fashioned federal
principles, the Enquirer, like great many other
newspapers, has changed also and Is now jealous
for General Gordon as il ever was against him,
while il refuses to support the consistent and repub-
lican Mr. Garland. This simple fact Of itself aft irds
most striking illustration OF the inconsistency and
hypocrisy of the present national administration and
Of the preposterous and ridiculous character Of the
claim to Repubcanism which is set up by its friends

The Purport Of War.-The author of Sartor Re-
sarus thus describes the causes and consequences OF
war:
What, speaking in quiet unofficial language, is
the net purport and upshot of warf To my own
knowledge, for example, there dwell and toll in the
British village Of Drulndrudge, usually some five
hundred souls. From these, BY certain, natural
enemies of the French they are succ essively Sc
lected, during the French war, say thirty able be-
died men. Drumdrudge at her own expense, has
sucked and nursed them. She has, not without DIFF
fculiy and sorrow, fed them upto manhood and even
trained them TO crafts, so that one can weave, an
other build, another hammer, and the weakest can
stand under thirty stone avordupois
g Nevertheless, amid such weeping and swearing,
they are selected; all dressed In red, and shipped
away at public charges, some two Thousand miles,
or say only to the south Of Spain and fed there I'LL
wanted. And now TO that same spot In the south OF
Spain, are thirty similar French artizans, from
French Drumdrudge, in like manner vending: till
at length, after infinite efforts the two parties come
into actual juxtaposton; and thirty stand fronting
thirty, each with gun in his hand. Strahway the
word Firep is given; and they blow the souls out
of one another and in place OF sixty brisk useful
craftsmen the world has sixty dead carcasses, which
it must bury and anew shed tears for. Had ;hese
men any quarrels2 Busy as the devil is, moi the
SMALLEST They lived far enough apart were the
enirest strangers nay, in so wide universe, there
