LYNCH Law IN LouIsvILLE.-The late Lynch
Law affair in Louisville, KY, has called forth
strong expressions of condemnation from the
Louisville Press The Democrat says: 1--WE
arc disgTaeed city, controlled by mobs. and
have become the by-wOrd and jecr of the world.
Shall such things be continuedg Are the laws
to remain dead letter. Shall the hue and cry
of an incensed multitude control the city, and
set the action of our courts at defianceP Is
Louisville given over to perdition and hopelessly
lostl The proceedings of last night are but the
legitimate fruits Of mob government. Let us
unite in restoring the laws Of the land. or
cease to be Municipality" And the Journal
also adds:-"We do not believe there is now a
calm and rejecting man in Louisville who is
not firm in the opinion, that, however much a
court or jury, or both may err, it is incon.-
parably better to submit to the evil of a wrong
decision than to rise up in open aud forcibIO re-
rebellion against law and order.

liabilities of Corporations.

The Petersburg lnteiiigencef mentions the
fact that citizen of Knoxville Tennessee, recent
ly recovered 50 900 damages from the City Cor
poration for cutting down the streets around his
house. and states that this is the first case of the
kind which has terminated favorably to the in
iured party. 4 few years ago handsome and
costly church in Pittsburg was nearly ruined by
street WORCESTERSHIRE cases have occur
red in Richmond and Washington,and in each of
them the Corporation trumphed over the plain
tiff on the trial Here in Staunton private prop
erty has been irreparably injured by public i'm
but as the lawyers said the "decis-
ions" were in favor of the Corporate authorities,
the citizens had to submit. Weare glad to learn
that a Court has at last been found to decide the
question in accordance with common justice. 1t
is principle which lies at the foundation OF our
institutions that private property shall not be
taken for public uses without compensation to
the owner, and yet this same property, we have
been told heretofore, may be rendered totally
valueless by some real or imaginary public i'm
and the sufferer obtain no redress
Such doctrine is the very essence of tyranny
If the improvement be of public utility let the
public compensate individuals for losses they
sustain from it, and the thing will be fair and
RIGHT

Meeting at the April Court.

Let it not be forgotten that general meeting
will be held in Staunton, on the first day of the
April Court, for the purpose of selecting suita-
BILE men to represent the County of Augusta in
he next Legislature. Let the friends of the va
rious gentlemen spoken of in connection with
the ticket come to the meeting in full force, and
then let the "longest pole knock down the sim
mons" In our opinion this is a much fairer and
more satisfactory mode of arriving at public
sentiment in regard to the matter, than Con-
vention would be, and much more likely to pro-
mote good feeling and secure harmony of action
among the friends of the various gentlemen who
will probably be put in nomination. The ticket
once selected, in the equitable manner proposed,
it will then be the duty of all honorable men who
participate in the meeting to cooperate cordially
and heartily in the effort to secure its triumph
ant election.
Let every body who feels an interest in the
matter be present, then, at the April Court, to
take care of his own or his friends interest, and
especially prepared to sacrifice their own incl
nations and preferences to promote the great
interests of the State at this important period of
her history.

Only JOkingy

The Viadicdtor has been requested by Major
Anderson sto correct an error which the Specta.
tor has made in claiming this gentleman as a
Wing" The Spectator never claimed him as q
Wing, and begs leave to correct Major Anderson
and the indicator in that particular. We
merely stated what we heard Mr.. Anderson say,
on the morning of the day upon which he was
nominated by the Democrats, that he was "@0t
a Democrat" The indicator is further re-
ouested to inform US that Major Anderson spoke
"iocosely," aud that in Major Anderson's opin-
ion. "his manner Of reply ought to have been
sufficiently Indicative of that" In our opinion
there was nothing whatever in Major Anderson's
manner to indicate any such thing. In fact we
have never known joke perpetrated with more
solemnty of countenance and seriousness Of
manner We had no idea that our friend, the
Major, possessed such capital talents in that par
ticuar line. Major Anderson still further thinks,
through the Editor of the indicator, that his
refusal to sign call upon Mr.. Stuart, fought to
have satisfied any reasonable man as to his posi-
ton" Queer logic as this is, it might have sat
isfed us, but for the subsequent statement of the
gentleman himself that he did not refuse to sign
the call because he was q Democrat on the con-
trary that he 'acas not a Democrat" We must
still think our impressions as to Major Ander-
sons language and manner most natural, and
can scarcely pardon him for so cruel jest upon
parcel of KNOW Nothings."
The indicator is entirely mistaken if it sup
poses that we ever denounced Major Anderson
as a Democrat or claimed him as a Wing. We
confess to the most benighted ignorance as to his
political principles, and we should not be sur
prised if the Major himself was equally uncertain
as to his own whereabouts. 1t is utterly impos-
sibe for the public to understand q gentleman
who has such psnehant for practical jokes
Our only object is to find out whether the Dem
ocratic ticket is unadulterated, or mixed
Whether this natural curiosity will be gratihed,
or not, remains to be seen.

Constitutionality of Distribution,

The Rockingham Register objects to "Dstri
button" on the ground that it is "unwarrantedb by
the Constitution and the very structure of the
government" We have repeatedly alluded to
Mr. Buchanan's opinions on the subject in 1887
lie said Distribution would leave us "aphere the
Constitution intended to place u.s." Gov Wise,
also, in his Louisa speech, referred to Distribu-
ZION as "a measure which insures equal benfts
to all the States, and benefits not to be calcula-
ted in extent or value acih0at the least riOlenee
TO the Constitution, and in exact conformity to
The patriotic grant of Virginia of this heritage
IF domain for the common benefit of the Union"
These are the matured opinions of our Demo
cratic President and Democratic Governor, what
ever Democratic Platforms may say to the con-
trary.
The Register further says: st was never in
ended that the Federal Government should be
he almoner of the States" Certainly not; but
when the Government is squandering upon the
new States what righttully belongs to Virginia,
he may and ought to claim her own. We do
not ask aims of the Federal Government, but
lemand our share of the common property.

Wise and Hunter.

Tho next LEGISLATURE of Virginia will have 10
H.. Trn;tad States Senator to succeed MI
Hnrter. and it is understood that Gov. "lse Is
in the field, striving earnestly to obtain the pace
u;s term Of Office as Governor will expire three
or sour weeks after lie would take his seat III
tho Senots and that little remnant he could al
ford 10 leave TO the Lieutenant. Ii wouiu III,
doubtedly DO very pleasant to step risnI Out VI
o,a rood office into better. This IS inc SORT
Of ..rotationn which Democrats like. but MI
t1,,r+sr as at present eircumstanced, is opposed
TO rotation. Before the adjournment OF oon-
cress he was active in getting up protest u
gsiust the adoption of the principle IN Executive
o,no;ntmepts. s'Fellow feeling makes rs won
drous kind" For him there is no alternative
Int TO STAY where he is or to retire from ONCE
.,.,...yether-a calamity greatly dreaded by poll
ticians generally. A few years hence his views
NAV be slightly modified, and we shall not DC
srrnrscd if even Mr.. Hunter is found willing to
..rotate" from the Senate into the Presidency
His chance of reaching that elevation is cer~
tainly better while he occupies the high GROUND
of the Senate, than it would be if ne descended
to the vale of private life.
Tins q warm contest has arisen between Mr..
Hunter and Mr. Wise and irrespective friends.
Each of the two leaders wants the same place,
and much bad blood will be stirred up, it a re-
oular pitched battle is not fought, before the
matter is decided. As impartial spectators, on
" interested in seeing justice done to both, we
must confess that Wise and his party are acting
gerry angraciously, to say the least of it. They
are making very poor return for the efforts OIL
Hunters friends in behalf of Wise, in the last
Staunton Convention. We we'll remember the
eloquent enlogy upon 1.-The noble Tribune OF the
People," uttered in that body by a near relative
of Senator Hunter, who of course is his klns-
mans friend in the present emergency. Now,
however, notwithstanding these kind offices,
Wise turns upon Hunter, calls him an old fogy
says be has been in the Senate long enough, and
is working with might and main to have him
thrust out.
But our condemnation of ingratitude must not
be mistaken for sympathy with Mr.. Hunter
For our part we want neither Hunter nor Wise,
and it surprises US to see Wing and American
papers espousng the cause of one or the other
We take it for granted that the Legislature will
elect Democrat, but we would like to know il
Hunter and Wise are the only Democrats in the
State fit to go to the United States Senate
There is Ex-Governor Smith, who voted for
Carlile's land bill, aud Ex President Tyler, said
to be in favor of distribution" either OF whom
would suit us much better 1t is not improba-
bic that the opposition members Of the Legisla-
ture will hold the balance of power between
the aspirauts, and when the election comes on
we trust they will reserve their votes for a COM
promise candidate who will represent their
views upon the great question OF the day.

For Tie Spectator.
Lieut., Governor and Attorney General.


INessrs. Editors i perceive that some of the
newspapers have nominated George L. Deneale
and j. Randolph Tucker as suitable Democratic
candidates for the offices of Lieut. Governor and
Attorney General, vacated by the resignation of
Messrs. McComas and Bocock. wish to enter
my protest against these nominations. They
are opposed to the usages of the Democratic
party, and will be fatal to its interests have
10 objection to either of the gentlemen person
ally, and presume they are well qualified for
the offices for which they are respectively named.
But it must he recollccted that they are original
Democrats-reguar old foges. They belong to
the party and will continue in it in any event.
What therefore is the use of offering any reward
to Them Surely we can find some ne,c recruits
to fill the places The honors and offices should
be kept for the Wings who desert their own
party and join the Democracy. This has been
the case heretofore and the policy has been sue
cessful, and am opposed to any departure from
it. If the offices are given to old line Democrats
how can we expect to buy up any more Wings
1t will never do-sound policy requires that the
official capital of the party should be husbanded
every inducement should be held out to de-
serters Then, when the party is in straits, it
can do as it has done horetofore--buy up as ma
ny of the opposition as will turn the scale in ia
vor of the Democracy. NEW LIGHT.

PrnInnf Pay.

The Democrats of Bedford county have NOM
mated VIM. NJ. Burwel, Esq, for the State Sc
nate Mr.. Burwell voted for Buchanan, but ny
to that time was leading Know-Nothing. We
have not heard that he has changed one of his
political principles, and it is for him to explain
how he can become Democratic candidate for
Office, consistently with selfrespect. And what
must be thought of party which Systematically
acts upon the policy of giving its places of hon
or and trust to neophytes! The newer the con
vert the better his chance for an office. Nay,
he need not even profess conversion; if he only
permit himself to be called Democrat, nothing
more is required 1t is really amusing to see the
great Democracy filing after unfedged leaders
of such recent Matching that the shell of Know
Notbingisn still sticks to their backs.

Principle and Practice.

The Valley Star, in an article addressed to
Buchanan men, quotes the sixth article of the
Cincinnati Platform in opposition to Distribu-
ton. "Mr. Buchanan" the Star says, twas e..
lected on that plain, welldefned, unequlvocal
position on the land question. You knew it and
voted for him. Well, what of that p
few months ago some twenty-five members
of the United States Senate, who voted for Bu-
chanan, voted also for the MINNESOTA land bill,
which gave to that Territory enangh of the
public lands to construct nine hundred and
twenty-five miles of railroad and only ten Blu
chanan men voted against it. With this exam-
pie before their eyes, the appeal to the rank and
file of the party is unreasonable. We give the
vote Oh the bill alluded to:
YRAs-Messrs Allen, 1ieli Of Tennessee, RsR.
jamin, Broom, Cass, Crittenden, Dodge Doug
las Durlee Fish, Fitch, Foot, Foster, Geyer
Green, Irerson, James, JonsOn, Jones of Tonnes
see, Mallory, NourSe, Pearce, Rask, Sebastian,
Seward Stuart, 7oonaJS, Trumbull, Wade, Wei
Ter, Wilson and Yulee-32.
NAYs-Messrs. Biggs, Bger, Brodhead, Clay,
Evans, Hunter, Mason, Pugh, Reid and Slidell
10.
This vote proves conclusivey that the plat
form cannot prevent grants of land to the new
States; but Virginia Democrats appeal to it to
prevent our getting just share! No doubt
Western Democrats admire the consistency OF
the Virginia Democracy, laughing in their sleeve
all the time. 1t only insures their getting the
whole of the public domain.

british Politics.

The war in which Great Britain is now en-
gagged with China, has created much excitement
in Parliament and caused powerful combina'
ton against Lord Pamerston, the Prime Minis
ter. Mr. Golden introduced resolution in the
House of Commons, expressing dissatisfaction
with the conduct of the Government, and after
a warm debate it was adopted by vote of 26S
to 247. The usual course of Ministers under
such circumstances is, to resign Immediately
and hand over the Government to the opposi-
ton; but in this instance they have determined
to hold on till the voice of the country can be
heard Lord Palmerston announced to the
House shortly after the vote was taken, that the
present Parliament would be dissolved as soon
as some necessary business was transacted, and
an election for new Parliament ordered. There
are indications that the people sympathise with
tho pratnier
