A brief dispatch stated the other day
that the Republican gubornatorial candi
date in Virginia was ineligible for tn,
Office. The New York Post gives the fol
lowing statement in regard to this new sen,
sation in the excited campaign in that
State 1T appears that Colonel Hughes
the Republican candidate for Governor Of
Virginia is ineligible. The constitution Of
Virginia prohibits any person who has
been principal or second in a duel from
voting or holding office in the State. 1t is
proved, so it is now said, that Colonel
Hughes did carry challenge in July, 1870
The new law went into operation in Janu,
AIRY, 1870; so that Colonel Hughes's offence
comes within it. He bad previously fought
duel 10 North Carolina, and his opponents
in the nominating convention used the fact
against him. But il was shown that the
duel took place before the new coustitu.
tional provision was in force. The greater
ofiense, for which he was not ineligible, 10
some way caused people to forget the
smaller one for which he was. Probably
this event will make the country for the
first time aware that Virginia has incor.
Porated such a provision in her Constitu.
ton, Ii is a most ingenious, and may
prove an effective remedy. Politics al.
ways was, aud, to a great extent, will con.
tinue to be an Attractive field for an ambi.
tious souiherner. The fate of Hughes will
have its lesson 70; Virginians, which we
hope will be beededn

and very naturally neither he nor his

so long they will continue to be committed.
and it is a perfect farce to have laws and
the machinery for executing them aud then
allow them to be a dead letter. So far as
the prevention of such offences is concerned
it is the height of folly to spend time and
money in arresting deiaulter and then let
him go without any punishment and the
sooner the United States government and
business corporations and private iudiyid-
uals as well-comprebend and act upon
this simple truth, the better it will be-
Let US either punish stealing as it deserves,

MASSACHUSETTS, DEMOCRACY. The dem
ocratic party Of Massachusetts shows sign,
Of sporadic vitality, and here and there a
convention Of the Bourbons express hope
of something approaching victory in the
coming State election Under some circum.
stances such faith would be sublime. but
under the present state Of things it lack,
little of being ridiculous. The only avail
able issue is the liquor question, and the
only hope OF success lies ia being able to
effect a combination If all shades and de.
erees Of the liquor interest, with its Immense
capital, in favor Of ex-mayor Castor for the
gubernatorial chair. But this question ha.
been so many times fought over that it is
difficult to draw the lines so as to divide the
Republican party-especially now that
Gov. Washburn is generally understood to
have pledged himself to abide the action
OF tho legislature upon this question.
Hence there is no earthly probability Of the
success Of the Democratic party-hardly a
probability that it can materially draw upon
the Republican vote. The worst foe of the
Republicans in Massachusetts, will be-as il
was 10 Ohio-iuactiyiiy in its own ranks
The enemy will sow tares while the husband.

Things are working in Mexico. An.
other revolution is reported in Sonora, ano
the merchants, foreign and native, Of that
State are being remorselessly levied upor
for the sinews Of war. The revolutiomsts
propose to restore the Constitution of 1872,

ten'ion Of raising military force, as soon
as he can get round 10 it, of sufficient
strength to crush the movement, and in or.

the laws relative to gambling in case said
gambling is in the form Of bets upon the
elections. The decision was made in case

that judgment rendered on a note given in
payment Of an election bet was valid.
