The nomination by the Conservative
party of George d. Wise, the present
Commonwealth Attorney Of Richmond,
as their candidate for Congress from this
district, was by no means an unlocked for
event. Among all the asprants in the
field his chances were apparently the best
from the outset, and were no doubt greatly
improved by the seeming indifference with
which he prosecuted the canvass for him
self. His political position is decidedly
distasteful to us, but beyond and above
that he is a gentleman of whom 1t would
be difficult for the most bitter partisan to
speak unkindly. As an officer Of our city
government-tilling one of its most ardu-
GUS and responsible positlons--he has dis
charged his duties with great credit to him.
self, and, we believe, to the satisfaction Of
all. O. -ramr E.. ....u., I'D aW - ta
This much we may say in strict justice
without any prejudice to the Republican
candidate, whose popularity in the distric
acknowledged to be great can be damaged
in no way so effectually as by acts of injus
tce to his competitor. Mr.. Smith will re
ceive the entire Republican vote of the dis
trict, and Mr.. Wise may consider himsel
fortunate if he can say as much with entir
confidence as to his own party and himself
We do not mean to intimate by this tina
his popularity is not great with his ow
party on the contrary, we regard him tn
most popular young man of his party in til
district, and, as a candidate, the most diff
cult Of any one that could have been nom
mated for Mr.. Smith to beat.
Mr.. Wise, if elected, will labor undo
one very great disadvantage. He will {
to Washington undqAs shadoD Of a gre
name. This is an immense dsadvantag
and one which will tax bis highest effor
and most indefatigablc industry and energ
to overcome. He has as yet no honors
his own to sleep upon, and no man, be
young or old, can afford to sleep on t
honors of another.
to But we trust he will be spared the nec'
to sity Of making any such effort as that
which we refer, and that his young a
earnest competitor, the Hon. J. Amb
Smith, will have the opportunity of maxi

WHEN the conspiracy was formed in
Washington, under the mask of reform
dinner, to DESTROY the Republican party,
Mr.. Sumner was present and offered to
transfer the coloed vote to the new move
meut Mr.. Schurz was present and offered
to carry the German vote over to the new
party MIR. Schurz virtually claimed that
he held the German vote in his pocket, and
could handle it as so much merchandise
But it turns out that NJ. SchuTz does mo-
own the German vote I; nor has Mr.. Sumner
any real tiJtle-deed to the colored vote
Both made promises which they cannot full
fill, and both are doomed to the disappoint
ment consequent upon exaggerated expeeta
tons.

On the Both of November, 1870, Mr..
Greeley charged that the Missouri bolt was
arranged in Washington the previous VIM
ter, and that Carl Schurz was one of the
conspirators, and added, in comment on
the Missouri State Convention Of 1870:
"When, therefore, Carl Schurz, in bull
| lying, irritating speech, insisted that the
Republican Convention should make en-
| reimbursement plank Of its platform, the
| sert a alsehood-nsmely, that we are all
in favor of acknowledgements, when some of
us are not. The Republicans adopted a
platform which left everyone free to vote
for or against Embarrassment, as be
Judged best. Hereupon, the predetermined
bolt was made. We warned the Republic
cans that the preteXt was sham-that en-
reimbursement was certain to be carried
anyhow that the real object of the bolt
was to hand the State over to the sham
Democracy"
Mr.. Schurz now supports Mr.. Greeley,
and must necessarily believe him an hon
est and truthful man. Did he tell the trutf
about the Missouri bolt? Was it arrange
and carried out by Mr.. Schurz, when h
pretended to be in full faith and fellowship
with the Republican party? Has Mr.
Schurz been playing the role of polltca
traitor to his party ever since 1870? Ant
has he been dong this secretly with tn
purpose of stabbing his friends the NOR
efEectually and the more fatally? Thes
! are questions which Mr.. Schurz will not b

Hon. ROBERT G.. WINTHROP is one Of
the most eminent of the many public men
of Massachusetts,. Formerly conserva-
tive Wing, he has latterly been conserva-
tive Democrat. But in the present cam
paign he avows his purpose of supporting
General Grant, saying that the coalition is
an unatural combination, and that :" he can
see no safety for the country in their sue
cess" The Boston Jou,rql says that Hon.
George S. Hillard, another prominent
Democrat of Massachusetts,, will not
support Greeley. It has already
been stated that John Quincy Adams,
for the past few years the regular Demo-
| cratic candidate for Governor of the old
Bay State, has repudiated Greeley. The
action Of such as they, and Gen. Dix and
John, j. Cisco and Mayor Wharton o.
Michigan, and Hon. B. +. Parks of Illinois
and many others of the same sort, shows
that the better men Of the Democratic par
ty will not stultify themselves and menace

ALEXANDRIA As A sIANUFAtTUREN'



The Alexandria Gazette in recent issue
calls attention to the expenditures for some
articles which might be manufactured at
home. Its article was in the right spirit,
and it might have extended greatly the list
Of possible manufactures.
We have on several occasions called atten-
ton to the superior advantages OF Alexandra |
a, a manufacturing town. She must be
that or nothing. Lying at one of the natu-
IA l)ors to the great coal and iron region
1c Appalachian range; with the spler-
d food producing region of Piedmont
V ginia Immediately behind her,
W In noble river open to the largest
seayoing vessels, giving her ample
roadway to the sea, she possesses
every natural advantage for the con-
version of raw material into manufactured
pro ducts. She has one Of the best concen-
tratng and distributing locations on the
Continent. The vast treasure-house of ma
ture is open to her and everything invites
to occupy it. But the wealth of mountain
and valley goes by her to enrich and bless
distant populations. She is poor, loaded
with debt, and helpless to employ her own
population or to assist in the development
of the splendid region which lie1 around her.
After hundred years she is only sprawl
ing village, without industry or trade or any
adequate improvement of her natural adj
yantages. Stagnation and inieriority is
stamped upon everything about her. Her
best young men are without adequate EN-
ploy ment, and are compelled to seek II
abroad or remain at home idle or without q
profitable field of enterprise. Why is this
so? We answer because she is fogy-rid'
den town. She is full of fine young men
who would make her prosperous ant
beautiful city but she is ruled by decayet
ileas and men who belong to another
time. Too many of her people also nurs'
the bitter rescntments of the past. Their
i too much sentimental politics and to-
little attention to vital, local and persona
interests. Too much regard paid to birth
place and accidental distinction. and too lit
tie to real manhood.
While all the nation north Of the Poto
mac is stirred by the inspiration of ne'
age, and accepts lis part of the work
progress, these old fellows who own Ale1
andra are grumbling because their sleep
disturbed, and the new day requires ne
duties. If Alexandra is to be regenerate
and launched upon career of prosperlt,
her young men must throw off the yoke
daldyism. They must lay aside those 10
SLICED old fellows and take events into the
own hands. They must awake to sen
of the duties and demands of this ne
time. They must learn how to prosp
from those who hare prospered. And
do this they need to enlarge their experien
by travel and study in those powerful cor
munities of this country and Europe VIM
have achieved success. We have a gre
stake in the prosperity of Alexandria, a
we desire to see her the splendid and pr
gressive city she is capable of becoming.
