the City Council and IL Is a matter Of vital In
tsrest to fhe people, and the party that those
upon whom this honor is conferred, should be

little to be gained By party having the majority

people and We deem Is necessary to remind our
party, that 10 secure full vote the men noml-

Of the voters, Let qualification and integrity be

Christ church, Alexandria, famons as the place
furniture upside down, destroyed all the music,
saturated the cloth cushions and prayer books
with oil, removed the silver plate from Wash
ington's pew, besides committing many other de-
pFcdations. 1t was undoubtedly the intention Of
the party to set FIRE to the ancient edice, but the
sexton fortunately had occasion 10 visit the
church, and, seeing what had been done, hasten
ed to inform one Of the vestrymen. Returning,
one ofthe doors was found open, which leads to
the beIiefthat the scoundTel was secreted in the
building when the Sexton first entered, and in his
absence made good his escape.

THREE more Communists were shot on
Thursday in France. Is this sacrifice OF
blood never to stop? Such an execution
at this time seems as wanton and insen-
safe as it is cruel. The Commune is long
since dead. 1t has paid the penalty of lis
carnival with many lives. And still the
government Of Theirs goes on exiting and
executing as though it were the year 1900
instead of 1873. No republic can stand on
such a record of blood. Better Napoleon
w. or any other imperial ruler than re-
public thirsting for blood and constantly
graft cying its Thirst. 4.

BARNUM has euchered the emperor of
Austria! A certain Father Faber, with
his wife and wonderful talking machine,
was under $1,000 bonds to appear at the
Vienna Exposition, but Barnum shook
$40, 900 in his face and he caved. Barnum
says 100000 people will hear that auto
nation jabber next summer. But at last
accounts the talking wonder wouldn't talk,
manifestly disguised at being turned over
to such humbug as Barnum.

THE term Credit Mobilier may puzzle
somewhat the general public mind. There
is no reason for its use in this country, our
language furnishing an equivalent term.
1t may be defined as personal credit, and
when applied to company means one
which invests capital in personal property,
as distinguished from credit foncier,
where the investment is in land. The great
French Credit Mobilier company is about
twenty years old, and was created, under
government sanction, for the purpose Of
investing capital in banking, in contracts
or works of public improvements, in
stocks and other personal property. IL is
joint stock company with large capital,
and for years did large and profitable
business, which of late has fallen off. The
name and object Of the American Credit
Mobilier had this origin, though its bust
ness, so far as we know, has been confined
to contracts with the Union Pacific rail-
road company. A French writer said oil
the French Credit Mobilier that it was the
greatest gambling enterprise of all Europe
Its namesake in this country has proved
an almost unprecedented popular specula-
ton, but attended by such circumstances
as are not likely to make the name popu'
lar one for future enterprises.

IT is not good plan for left-handed men
to become murGerers. They are more
likely to be found out than others. 1t was
evident that a murder lately committed in
Scion, Ohio, was done by a man thus en-
dowed, and the detectives arrested the first
left-handed man they found and he con-
fessed to the deed. We recommend all men
laboring under this disadvantage to abstain
from the popular amusement.
