WHAT THE EASTERN PAPERS SAY.

THERE will soon be a lively contest for
the United States Seuatoyyhig in Yir-
ginia to succeed Senator Lewis, whose
term expires in 1875. AH.as Tie oandi-
dates mentioned, say P.-..ey's Demo-
crat, and those mos. Tx ,J have a
leading place in the race, ire taa Hon. r.
NJ. T. Hunter, Goyeuo- E=aper and
Lieutenant Governor N..A-I.. 1t pres
ent it is not easy to determine yho may
have the advantage, but j, tie choice is
made from those three II as very certain
that Virginia will have Senator to do
her honor, and one of whom she may be
proud. There are many things in favor
of kemper that will not operate to the
advantage of either of the others, but we
do not think that man who has been
elected Governor should give up that
place for another--no matter how desira-
BILE the promotion. 1t would be crafty
ing to the thousands who remember the
craftsmanship and ability of Mr.. Hunter,
both in the North and South, to see him
needed there.
Or the favored convicts at Sing Sing,
Pomeroy's Democrat says: AS soon as
Stokes got to Sing Sing, where he will
lemain four years for the murder Of
James Fisk, he was made clerk in the
cigar mandatory. This is in pursuance
of the sentence which condemns him to
hard labor A young man of aristocrat-
ic pretensions named Couse, who was
sent up at the same time as Stokes for
forgery was made clerk to the chaplain
and it will be remembered that young
Walworth was given a clerkship in the
shoe shop. We don't know who were
reduced from their positions in order to
give these young patrician criminals a
chance, but it is very evident that curly
headed murderers and aristocratic forgers
will have to hurry up to get to Sing
Sing before all the good places are taken.
There are so many of that kind going
now that there are few eligible places
left.
The Telegraph and Messenger says: A
private letter written by Memphis gen.
tleman gives a more thrilling and sicken,
ing picture of pestilential horror in that
city than comes to the knowledge of the
people through the dispatches. In fact,
he says, the Memphis papers have failed
to record the fearful extent of suffering,
because they feared that business might
consequently be driven away. Neverthe-
less it has been driven away, and that is
the most trifing of evil consequences.
Whole families have been carried off by
the fever, and their corpses lie unburied
in houses with no one to attend to them.
The poor people especially suffer terri.
bly,, and when taken generally live but
q short time, though rich ana poor are
now afflicted alike. The undertakers are
not able to bury them, and the dead
bodies are carried off in wagons some
times as many as nine in one cart.
SOME of the administration organs are
consoling their verdant followers by as
suring them that the Democratic victory
in Ohio isn't much of shower cold
Bill" Allen, they say, has only n few
hundred majority. Wei, it is n way
''Old Bill" Allen has, to be elected by
small maJorltles. lie was elected to Con-
gress by one vote over his father-in-law,
Governor Macarthur, and afterwards was
elevated to the United States Senate by
the same majority in the Legislature.
WITH the assurance of an inspired or.
gan, the Washington Star thus consoles
the taxpayers of the country: ''Set il
down as an absolute certainty that within
five years We shall have: l. 4 Postal
Savings Bank; 2. A Government Tele.
graph; 3 A Bureau of Railroads and
Banking; 4. Free Banking. The monop.
olists and the rings may fight these meas.
ures and succeed in postponing them for
a time, but they are certain 10 come"
NEARLY every County Treasurer in
Iowa was thrown out OF Office ut the re.
cent election in that State, and many Of
them seem to be terribly alarmed at the
general overhauling of books that must
follow. A local journal says: 1.-THE
Jackson County Treasurer takes time by
the forelock, and announces that $40, OOI
of the funds in his keeping was stolen
the other night"
