so GOES THE WORLD.

The proud conquer, the Empe-
ror William of Germany,will make a
grand triumphal march home and
receive heartiest ovations from a
grateful and victorious people. Sue
cess has paved his way with roses
into the hearts of his subjects. Had
fate ordained it otherwise, had Ma.
poleon conquered, he would have
enjoyed similar honors from the
French, while in all probability the
Emperor William would have been
hauled from his place. And so the
world goes.

Major Hodge, the detaultng u. S. Deputy

The Baltimore American says -" His letter to
the Paymaster General is sad and remorseful.
The money has been used in Wall street stock
gambling speculations, and for years he has
continued them,in hopes of recovering the lost
funds. The criminality of the New York brok
ers' firm through which his transactions were
made is as great as his own, if his statement
that they were aware he was using Govern
ment money, is true. The defalcations were
made, through system of false entries and
false reports. Paymaster General Brice is dis
posed to blame tine New York Sub Treasury
because he was allowed to use actual money,
instead Of checks The full amount of the de-
falcation is s473, 93?' Maj Hodge makes a
feeling allusion in his confession to the misery
and ruin he has brought upon his wife and
family.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER Is, 1871.

A Word OF ADvIcE-If any Of the Conser-
vatives of this State, and those who do not
wish to see Radicalsm prevail, in the manage
ment Of national and State affairs imagine
that, because there is Conservative majority
in Virginia, there is no particular occasion tor
activity and zeal in their cause, and an easy
victory at the polls at the next election can be
secured without effort, let them be assured that
they are laboring under mistake which may
lead to unfortunate results. There is, it is GER
tain, large actual Conservative majority
intervening causes may render that majority OF
no avail-and one of those causes may be, the
very opinion to which we refer. 1t is consider
ed that nearly the whole voting colored popu-
lation of the State-there are cxceptions--are
banded together, and will act in solid mass
against the Conservatives? That the Admin
istration will use every means, by patronage
and promises, and othenciSe to draw off weak
or doubtful men from our political ranks? That
there will be but little-none in some quarters
-scruple about resorting to unjustifable measur-
es to accomplish the proposed end? That this
struggle is considered the important, if not the
final one, for Radical rule, in Virginia: and
therefore will be desperate one on the part OF
the Radical leaders and their followers? If
these matters have not been duly considered,
it is time that they should be-and considered
too, in thoughtful spirit which will produce
action. There never was a time when it was
more necessary, not only on party grounds, but
in view of the future prosperity of our State,
its interests, and its people, when proper zeal,
energy, and determination should be more ex-
hibited, and more earnest efforts made to up
hold and maintain the principles ofthe Conser-
vatives To accomplish this, there needs to be
union, harmony. persistence, and Il arW to do,
all that can be properly, honorably, and consis-
tently done, to obtain Conservative triumph.
Let no man fail in doing his whole duty. be-
cause he thinks the Conservatives are, as they
are, majority of the people. and must, there
fore, succeed That is resting upon "a fatal
security 10 bring that majority to act and
to vote is what is necessary. We respectfully
address these words of advice as we said, at
the beginning, to any who may be doubling or
hesitating about exerting themselves IN this
contest For ourselves, we caunot suppose
there are many who pause. On the contrary
we believe that the great body Of our people
are fully alive to the Importance Of the occasion,
and aroused us to the necessity of acting ac-
