ANOTHER REASON WHY THE FAIR
IS NOT a COMPLETE SUCCESS. "A
writer in the Dispatch of this morning
gives n reason why the Fair is not a
complete Success" He might have added
another important one, which will always
prevent such enterprises from succeeding
as they should and would do. The mana
gers have, at nearly all the Fairs which
have been held in Virginia. this fall,
been compelled, or saw proper to turn
them into political machines, for the ad-
vaneement of the Democratic cause.
Republicans will have nothing to do with
these institutions, If they are to he offend.
cd publicly by hearing themselves abused,
or privately by having to come in contact
with drunken politicians. Many OF the
warInest friends Of our Fairs, in the State,
are Republicans who would rather remain
at home than be disgusted by political
h~afanguers, who exhibit themselves during
the holding of these Fairs.

"SoILED GRANT AND WILSON BAN
NERS. "a Speaking OF the ltepublican
meeting at Candles Hill yesterday, the
Dispatch of to-day says:
An ordinary stand bad been erected at
the extreme end of Fourth street, on the
hill, and it was decorated with American
%colors, while n or two worn-out and
soiled Grant and Wilson transparencies
added to the paraphernaiia.
1t would be equally modest if the Dis.
patch would not parade its W soiled
work before the public ; as, by its teach
ings, the ''soiled transparencies'' referred
to, were torn down and "soiled" by a
Democratic mob not long since.

THE CONGRESSIONAL FIaHT.-The
warmest friends of Hon. John Amber
Smith, were for q long time doubtful of the
result Of the contest between Mr.. Wise and
himself, the two competing candidates for
Congress in this district. Such doubts no
longer exist and Republicans arc willing to
bet considerable money on the election of
Mr.. Smith.
Betting never determines any question,
but we feel confident the letter judgment
of q large majority of the people Of this
district, will direct them in their duty, and
induce them to elect Mr.. Smith.
Grant, Wilson and Smith will carry the
Third district in spite of the political
trickery and fraud which was to give the
metropolitan district over to Democracy.

PUNIsHINd OFFICIAL TH1EvERY. The
extent OF the leaks in the public Trea-
sury, arising from official dishonesty, has
become q matter OF suoh concern that
Secretary Boutwell, proposes law to
prevent certain GLASS OF official stealing.
He would make it penal offence for all
disbursing officers and all clerks and
agents to convert to their own use or
lend, with or without interest, the public
moneys, and also for bankers and brok-
ers to receive loans Of public moneys
from such persons. The Act Of 1866, of
which this is an amendment, does not
meet the case of all officers, but only
special grades. While the law ought to
be- made general aud stringent, we agree
with the New York Journal IF Commerce,
that however strong Mr.. Boutwell, may
make the law, it will not be of much use,
il defaulters and embezzlers are to be
treated with mistaken leniency in the
future as in the past. Whilst the Go
vernment has persisted in enforcing
penalties on political prisoners, as in
most OF the so-oalled Ku Klux cases,
with an unrelenting hand, it has either
not prosecuted with rigor and prompti-
tude official thieves who plunder the
Treasury of the hard-enrned contribu-
tions OF the people, or pardoned them
from prison soon after they were cent
there. The proposed amendment to the
law Of 1866 will not be effectual, unless
there can be less Of misplaced clemency
to the culprits and moro of justice to the
people, and unless public sentiment
atlixes the same stigma to public as indi-
viduai robbery. The oilioial who is
guilty of the last is as much worse than
an ordinary thief as bank officer who
robs the institution OF Which he is an
agent is than professional burglar. In
both cases, the betrayal of confidence is
added 10 the crime of stealing.

desperate struggle in front of restau-
rant on Liberty street. N. Y. Simmons
succeeded in throwing Duryen, and then
stabbed him repeatedly with dirk,
causing almost instant death. Sim
mons, after the homicide, took refuge in
a neighboring saloon, where he was
arrested soon afterwards; but in getting
away he fell, fracturing the !,wer bones
OF his ankle. Simmons and he body of
his victim wore brought to The police
station, where Simmons refused to make
any statement when interrogated hy the

fusal when visited by reporters. Duryca
was about thirty years of nge, of gentcel

Aue 1eneTal Assembly lakes recess
from to-day until the 7th, of January.
This good'lons breathing sPsl. within
which the members nay rebuilt tben-
selves from !1heir arduons Legislative
|lAbors BY Christmas dinners and, New
Year festivities. We trust that they
may be sufficiently renewed in strength
to take vigorous hold OF the work which
remains for them to do. The election Of
Senator was very exhausting to many
members. The canvass lasted nearly the
whole of the session, and the conse-
quences are apparent in the fatigued and
blase appearance OF the most active par
tioipants. They are entitled to rest from
their tolls, and to have an opportunity
to enjoy themselves at home in the
bosom OF their families, after this signal
service to their country.
The business, 80 far, has been Of un-
important character. except the ta1 bill.
That has been examined and discussed
with considerable care. It was the one
measure without which the others could
not be set in motion. It was the great
wheel which turns all the rest. It was
necessary. therefore, to set it agoing
first. This was done In haste, and be-
fore proper examinations Of the items OF
deficiencies could be made. The levy,
as amended by the Senate, calls for
seventeen mills. This is enough, in all
conscience; and yet, large as it is. we
have no doubt that it will foil short of
the demands, whose name is legion.
And, behind all this, looms up, threaten
ing to break in storm over tho heads of
the people, the dark cloud of bonded
debt and interest.
AS we have said, there are some good
measures before the Legislature, to
which we hope they will give serious at-
tention upon their return. There are
some excellent members, too. in the
body, intelligent, hard working, dis
Greet and experienced. We trust that
their good influence will be felt and seen
moro conspicuously after tho recess.
The committees have done q fair. amount
OF work. We have noticed particularly
that those OF Wsys and Means. Agri-
culture and the Judiciary havo been
oreditably industrious and judicious in
their recommendations oar

A genuine sensation occurred in the
House on Wednesday last, in which war
taunts were exchanged between Repub.
licans and Democrats. Two Pennsyl.
vania Senators were the belligerents.
The rumpus was caused by the discus
sion of the Soldiers Homestead bill
"liar" and 'ooppcrhead" were banded
about like shuttle. cocks, but all in Pick
wiokian sense. Looking through the
glasses OF the opposition, the whole af-
fair, to our vision, seems darker than
the squabbles OF our Knights D'Afrique

bates in the halls OF Southern legislation.
