The TowN'.s ENTERpRIsE.-Fhe history OF
Alexandria up TO the period of the late war is
but history ST enterprise--of efforts, that not
disheartened by failures, were CONTINUALLY re-
pewed 10 new shapes and pressed forward 10
spite of every obstacle.
1t has been mentioned that after the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal Company undertook to
do.iu 1925, the work of the old Potomac Com.
psny 10 more efficient and costly manner, the
town subscribed $3.50 900 to the new work;
and even as late as 1852, when that Company
was in the slough of Despond, after one OF the
great freshets had swept away the dams, the
town took $1,000 bonds of the Company to
help the repairs.
The completion of the G. & 0. Canal, ter
minating as it did at Georgetown, would have
been no benefit to Alexandria. 10 reap the
fruits of this outlay, costly work was oeoes
sary, and Alexandria in 1880 embarked, alone,
10 the enterprise Of constructing the Aexan
dria Canal, from the terminus of the Chesa-
peake aud Onio Canal at Georgetown. 10 do
this it Was necessary to carry the canal across
the river at considerable height, an engineer
Ing feat of no little difficulty.

The town at once subscribed for $4,000 of
stock, and on the 4th of july, 1881, process
si,n, civic and military, headed by pillow on
wheels, moved to the place selected for the
purpose, and John Roberts, Mayor of the town,

Mosby Running Grant.

The latest bit of iavorilism 10 making ap
pointments, iu face of the discharge OF clerks
from departments, is one made by the PreSl-
dent. Major GriswoId, who was one of Mos
by gang during the war, was an applicant for
the position of assistant solicitor. Robinson,
the present assistant, was accused of being u
FRIEND of Bluford w sou. GrlsWold had his
claims presented by Mosby, now one of Grant
intimates. Robinson succeeded, however, 10
making such representations as to keep his
place, but Mosby succeeded 10 getting his con
federats friend Gliswold quartercd upon the
treasury with an 81 800 cl.I kship. His papers
are endorsed by Grant as follows:
Papers endorsed to the Secretary Of the Treas
ury. Major Griswod has been recommended
to me as suitable person tor position Of assist

tory qualifications for either position. L would
be glad to see him in either. U. 5. GRANT
This is similar case to Chspnan's, which
was one Of the causes Of the row between
Grant ard JEWELL Chapman, who was also
one of Mosbys gaug, had his old leader use
his influence to SECURE hiu position 10 the
Postotfiee Department as special ageot.-
Jewell decline to appoint Chapman. Mosby
went to Grant, and the latter wrote Jew
ell note requesting the appointment to
be made. JewcIexpostulaled with his master.
The President then virtually ordered the appoint
ment to be made and it was done. An uppor-
tunity for Chapman's removal was soon seized
upon by the Postmaster General. Mosbv then
appealed to Grant for reinstatement. Efforts
were made, but Jewell came out victorious for
the time being. Mosby, however, got his re.

AN INSTANCE OF GOV HAYESS
FLRMNESS

Gov. Hayes, if be is elected, is to
stand up against the whole Republi.
can party, and enforce his own views
of Civil Service Reform. Let US see.
Gov. Hayes made only one speech
during his two terms of Congress.
This was in explanation of his action
on the Bouligny claim. In the closing
hours of Congress this claim was put
through, and when the new Congress
reassembled Immediately afterward,
G. c. Washburne, (Rep.) of Wiscon-
sin, offered a resolution suspending
the action of the law which awarded
the claim. He denounced it as the
most fraudulent claim that had ever
been presented to Congress. The
Supreme Court had pronounced it
fraudulent "a years before. Now
Governor Hayes arose to explain as
a member of the Committee on
Claims. He said he had read this
decision Immediately after coming
out of the Committee, and an i'm
preston was made upon my mind
precisely corresponding" with Mr..
Washburne's statement; "but the
majority of the Committee had de-
cided the matter, and l could do
nothingP'
Oh! Spartan .tirmness ! o, vigil
ant honesty He could not make a
minority report, or fight the bill on
the floor, as any honest man of rea-
sonable intellect would have done
He sat still and saw the Congress of
the United States pass a claim
which he knew to be fraudulent, and
yet did not open his mouth. The
only speech he ever made in Con-
gress during four years service there
in the most corrupt period of our
history, was to apologize for having
allowed this fraudulent claim to 90
through, with his official endorse
ment, without word of protest.
And this is the man who is to stand
up and fight the most corrupt, the
most skillful, and the most desper-
ate combination of politicians Re
public has ever seen! Bosh

ice of the Republicans on the Chi
nese question, and denounced their
incompetency to deal with questions
of race and labor. Democrats who
showed their patriotism as volun-
teer soldiers as far back as the Mex

GOVERNOR D0RSHELlnER.

Lieut.. Gov. Dorsheimer, of New
York, has met with q magnificent re-
ception in the West. His strong
logical reasoning and his oratory are
of equal power in German or in
English. He addresses himself
mainly to figures. but he makes the
figures eloquent enough to challenge
the attention of his audience. He
is magnificent specimen of man,
and his very appearance insures re-
spect, attention, and even enthusi-
asm.
His influence upon the Ohio cam
paign has been so marked that the
Republicans themselves acknowl-
edge it, and the contrast between
his addresses and those of men like
Duttenhoefer, the New York whisky
thief, who had to abandon the cam
paign in the West because his repu-
tation made the West too hot to
hold him, is extremely marked. In
truth the Republicans seem to have
been very unfortunate in their ora
| tors both in Ohio and Indiana, be-
cause they have been unable to send
any one free from stain. Blaine,
they say, produces the best effects.
But of Blaine, in the face of the re-
cord Of the last session, his sudden
and mysterious sickness, when sick
ness served his purpose, and his
equally sudden and mysterious re-
covery wfen his recovery would an
swer to carry out party ends, will
most certainly overcome the value
of his eloquence in the minds of any
thinking hearer. Mr.. Evans truly
said that it was shocking fact that
a man who had been proven guilty
of what had been proved against Mr..
Blaine, should come within % votes
of nomination for President of the
United States in the Convention oi
one OF the great political parties
However, in our Republican form oi
Government rascals often come near
success. but rarely reach it, and
Blaine's case is only another iHustra
ton of this truth. Even if they dc
attain power. when they are appar
emily at the summit of it, and be
yond any rebuke, the vast indigna
ton of the people suddenly over
whelms them, as has been the case
in so many instances of our recent
history. These rascals could fiDC
this truth illustrated in this campaign
more strongly than ever before
They may use what money they will
and concoct what schemes the will
but they cannot buy or deceive I
majority of the American people
and majority of the American peo
pie now realize that they have beeI
plundered and cheated long enough
They all, so to speak, will 60 hear
and soul for Tilden and the Demo
cratic reform ticket in November.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally a considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied with pain
ful sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofweariness and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of
prickiy sensation of the skin his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
edY. Several of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. G. McLANE's LIVER PILLS,
IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive
Of the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory
to, or after taking Quinine. We
would advise all who are afflicted
with this disease to give them A
FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un-
equaled.

Of peace and brotherly love alone

Of peace and brotherly love alone
was supposed ever to preside.
With Thursday night, came Eth
eridge and the negro procession. The
latter was respectable in numbers
and appearance, and altogether un-
exceptionable in bearing and con-
duct, but the effort of Mr.. Etheridoe
disappointed me greatly. His speech
both in matter and manner, was sim
ply beneath criticism, and il literally
printed would destroy his reputation
as an orator, and fix upon his brow
forever brand of shame But as
the city papers shave already given
you full details of what was said aud
done on that brilliant occasion, [ will
trouble you no further with the sub
jeet, at least for the present.
During all this commotion up town
The venerable fathers Of the East

railroad company quietly assembled
IN their Office at the depot and resol-
we'd that the Sunday trains on said
road should be suspended, at least
for twelve hours, in order that the
employees of said road may have the
privilege and opportunity to attend
the preaching or reading of Gods
word upon the Lords day, that they
may accept the invitation, "Believe
in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou
shalt be saved Whether the sim
gular wording of this resolution had
to do with the resignation
of our esteemed friend Capt Jaques,
or not, L am unable to say. but his
sudden and unexpected retirement
from a position which he has so long
and so honorably filed, has given
rise to much comment and conjec-
ture, as well as the universal regret
of our business community.
