JOINT DISCUSSION.

Judge Crounse and Col. Warner, respec-
lively Republican and Greeleyite candi-
dates for Congress in Nebraska, are about
to stump the State together.
That is the way they do things out West,
but with rare exceptions our candidates
here are not met in joint discussions by
their opponents. Republicans everywhere
are willing to meet their opponents in open
and fair fight before the people. The pol
icy of the opposition is to avoid discussion,
and to prevent the people from hearing
more than one side. A party that will not
stand squarely up to its principles and de.
fend them when challenged, is on its last
legs. 1t distrusts its course or its ability to
defend II. 1t is in vain to urge the people
to stay away from Republican meetings
and avoid the light. Truth permeates the
world of thought like the atmosphere. 1t
will reach the people and draw them to its
shrine by invisible and subtle influences
which no power can resist. The small
tricks of party managers are vain to pre-
vent its spread. The compactness of party
discipline is impotent against it. While aoe
cherish it loyalty par ultimate triiamph Is
Saue.

THE WHIPPING POST.

at is said that the British Parliament will
make its first business on meeting in De-
cember to abolish whipping as a punish
ment for crime. There are at least two
States in this Union where this 'relic of
barbarism' still exists, and it is to be
hoped that they will not allow the conser.
yative monarchy of Great Britain to be
beforehand with them in getting rid of it.
In Delaware and Kentucky the people are
edited occasionally by the public whip
ping of offenders, which is generally con-
ceded to be the most degrading and dis
gushing exhibition possible. Why it should
be SO we do not undertake to say. Whip
ping in private is sanctioned by venerable
tradition and authority sometimes accounted
sacred; and in the home circle and the
school, where barbarisms are most out Of
place, it is still INDUCED in, but in public,
and with full-grown victims, it is an abomi-
nation"
The above is from the N. Y. Eoening Mail
and we regrett to inform that journal that vir-
ginia also is in the list of States that cling
to this barbarous and brutal mode of pun
ishment. We trust however that our Le-
gislature, will, like the British Parliament,
early in its next session wipe this dis
grace from u statute books.

THE TOWNSHIP SYSTEM

If there is any one feature of our Ameri-
can political organization more clearly es.
sential and characteristic than another it is
that Of local government. The aim of Re-
publicanism is to develop individual charac-
ter and responsibility. We can do this only
by bringing down as nearly as possible to
every man the care of all that concerns his
welfare. The worst feature of slavery is, that
it destroys self-reliance and all those noble
qualities that come from the struggles of
life. The slave is provided with food and
clothing but at the price Of independence,
The same principle applies to communities
who are governed by distant centralized
authority. They develop no internal
strength to meet emergencies. In all the
best political organizations in the world the
idea of local government is becoming more
and moro accepted.
But local government requires local
organization and from this springs the
township or the M of the French
Republicans. Our government was made
in imitation Of the model best known to
our fathers. 1t was a Republic cast in the
mould of a constitutional monarchy. 1t
was modified and hberalized much, but
the bug-bear which afflicted the builders
was, feor 10 trust the people too much. So
we have many absurd relics Of aristocracy

The scholastic editor of the Enquirer has
a great liking for Milton's Sataniad, and
the spirit that inspired the hero of that
immortal epic, misnamed Paradise
Lost" AS the Devil stood looking over
the scene of desolation and ruin brought
about his revolt against " the best govern
ment that ever existed" he had the sub.
lime satisfaction of e%xclaiming to himself,
Better to serve In hell than reign In heaven
The lofty attitude of Milton's command
ing hero excites our admiration almost az
much as the mad bull standing on the
railroad track, paving the ties, with tail
erect, and COUGHING his head to receive the
first whack of the approaching engine. 1t
was a brave bull that, but his courage

afterwards showed. Better that all the
material interests of Virginia should perish
forever than that the State should fall into
the hands of the Republican party! Bet

Washington monument, put a ton of gly-
cerine under the editorial chair of the
Enquirer office, dig a ditch around the
State and float it out into the Atlantic, OF
blow the whole "darned thing" sky
high, thar to have the Conservative
party of Virginia whipped in the coming
election!
Now, Mr.. Enquirer, you know you

terrible Guy Fawkes as you would make
yourself out to be--you know you would
neither fire the Capitol, blow up the monu-
ment of the peerless Washington, touch off
the glycerine under your own editorial
chair, nor commit any other absurd folly Of
that sort; but that you would stake it"
with all the philosophy that becomes the
wisdom Of your years, acknowledge that
the Radicals were very clever fellows in
their way, and that they had a knack at
