POLITICAL.

Last week we took occasion to men,
ton some Of the prominent reasons why
the Mollison ticket was elected. This
week we give an additional onc.,, All
persons coming from the country-if they
take any interest in politics -seek out q
fcw in the the city who make It q bust
ness to keep posted, and to lead in the
management of affairs. OF such, the
outsiders learn the feeling in the city.
This course was pursued last year, and
it 50 came to pass that ]. F. Anterior,
then Clerk Of the Court was UNDERWOOD
by the party almost unanimously to be
its candidate for the next election. In
all their consultations 90 far a. We are
aware, the mention Of no other name for
that Office Was received with satisfaction,
but it was universally conceded that Mr..
Atherton-at least 30 far as he knew
was the only candidate, md this eondi-
ton of affairs continued until after the
election of delegates in this city, and the
first intimation Of unfriendliness, was
found In the choice Of hostile delegations.
At such treatment Mr.. Atherton was
justly indignant. There was not sin.
gle man In Office in the county at that
time who was not to some extent indebt
cd to him for position, nor wes there but
single one in the whole corps who did
not go back" upou him, at the moment
when of all others he most needed their
friendship and aid. They smilingly led
him blindfold up to the altar, and then
instead Of iniating him as they had prom.
ised, pocketed the fee, and cut of his
political head. That is how it came
about that Anterior worked with the
Mollisonites, and that is another reason
why the latter were successful.

The grasshoppors are rapidly moving
eastward in myriads, and will doubtless
reach Wisconsin, perhaps Illinois, before
the flying season is past. They are re-
ported today very abundant at q number
Of points far east Of tho former scene of
activity. Even In this city several gar.
dens are overrun with them. All damage
the late corners can do is 70 depesit eggs

II certain that other States than this will
complain Of the scourge next year, and if

that II IS only necessary 10 publish the

publication Of each succeeding year ia
which taxes beoamo due. is Of Itself
alone the publication Of : new descrip.
ton, prefaoed BY an implied description
Of the lands taxed. But this obiec
ton is purely technical, and tho Count,

The Commissioner opinion is sup
ported BY law, no moro substantial,

DO any reasonable doubt as to wha,

that doubt is removed BY an examina-
ton of Section 6, Chapter 2, Laws O

usc Of tho Clerk in entering judgmcn,

Hon. James b, Sener.

Hon James Il. Sener, is the representa-
tive 10 Congress from the Fredericksburg
district. He is working member, and has
succeeded in getting various appropriations
aud benefits for that section oe country, ad-
vantagsous alike to Republicans and Demo
crats. A paper published in the district
called the Eastern Virginian has recognized
the services OF Mr.. Sener and spoke favora-
bly, of his labors in behalf of his coustitu-
ents. That paper i, Conservative, and be-
cause it has given few kind utterancea for
Seoer, the Richmond Enquirer takes upon
itself the ungracious task of reading lect-
ure to the editor Of the Viy;atan, and in-
tlmating thai nothing more of the kind will
be tolerated We do no. know when we
havs seen greater piece Of presumption,
nor have we ever seen betrayed more con.
tracted spirit. Surely if Mr.. Sener has been
faithful to his trust,i can hardly pretended
that be is not entitled to the credit of it, and
it is certainly a bad showing for Copserva-
tive fairness and honesty Of intention not to
award it.
MIR. Sener is . very efficient representa-
tive, industrious. injcfatigahle and able. It
would be good thing for Virginia aud the
South. if some of the Bourbon obstruc-
tiooists we're thrown overheard, and a few
more men like Sener placed in their stead.
Sener has done more and can do more for
his constituents than any man that has been
in Congr sss since the war, and the people Of
that district will be doing themselves great
lojustice if they do not return him.
