The Washington Union has brought
several democratic gentlemen out of
their hazy political atmosphere by its
pungent editorials. That is just the
kind Of physic for chicken-hearted
southern politicians whose fruitful I'M
aginations can eongure up SO many
good dishes for cur palates should Mr..
Hayes be inaugurated. The same OBJ
sequiousness which characterized
prominent place hunters in ~ has
been noticably cropping cut for some
time past. We have had a surfeit Of
fifty thousand braves" and drifting
'majorities not identified with any ex-
isting national party" clap-trap. The
South is Democratic. i1atus ct incute :
and the man in congress, or out, who
equivocates about it is simply traitor
to his people, national humbug and a
sectional falsifyer. Hypocrisy does
not enter into the Southern nature
bleaters after oell-weather executives
are either wholly exotic or wretched
crosses,

During the Presidential campaign
there was charge against the Republi-
can candidate that he had appropriated
to his own use funds which did not
properly belong to him. This charge
was not satisfactorily met by Mr.. Hayes
and his party. But whether it be true or
false, he has convinced large majority
of the people that he is perfectly will
ing 20 receive both stolen property and
stolen honors. Governor Hayes
knows that he was fairly defeated at the
late election and by his silence has given
the country to understand that notwith-
standing this fact, he would willingly
appropriate to his own use an office
which rightfully belongs to another.

This cause came Or to be further heard
this I'D day Of December 1876, upon the
papers formerly read. and upon the re-
port OF Mark Bird Commissioner, to
which there is no exception, and was
argued by counsel. on consideration
whereof the court doth adjudge, order
and decree that said report be adopted
and confirmed, and that said James W.
Bly,. the purchaser, be summoned to
appear on the first day Of the April
Term 1877 of this court. to show caus e
why the land purchased by him and
sold by the Comr. of Sale shal! not be
re-sold to satisfy the two bonds OF
1886 2-3 each, dated May l2th 1866
oue,payable one year and tie other two
years after date thereof, aud that a copy

That Yankey Trick.

If the Virginia delegation in congress
support the Texas Pacific railroad sub
sidy scheme, they should reimburse the
state for publishing Commodore Mauy's
Physical Survey" What subsidy is
given there will be charged to the South
as section, and the road which was to
come directly across our state as the
shortest transcontinental line to the
first sea port in the world, and nearer
to the best commercial ports Of Europe
than any in the United States. is cut off
from us at a distance Of 1900 miles and
made tributary to Missouri. Illinois.
Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. with
paper guarantees Of prorating as our
share. New Orleans may be satisfied
with branch; Vicksburg proud if she
ever get one but Virginia cannot afford
to acquiesce in Southern subsidy from
which she realizes nothing but railroad
promises made to be broken. The
scheme Is no better, now that Scott,
Huntington and Jay Gould have united
their forces. 1t is simply a further
robbery Of three Or four southern states,
Virginia the chief victim. We had
better have our lands for educational
purposes than railroad to one corner
OF Texas, thence to cross the Indian
Territory for st. Louis, for connection
with northern trunk lines. The North
and West have the Union and Central
Pacific lines and additional legislation
is just being asked for the unfinished
Northern Pacific. Can Virginians vote
to give them our Southern Pacific ?
Especially can they vote to guarantee
interest on the bonds ? We hope not.

Work Fer Nothing.

Why should Virginia give her convict
labor to build the Clifton Forge railroad
extension without compensation: Is it
on the principle Of ''better work for
nothing than do nothing?" We are
just now somewhat troubled with a
thirty million debt on account of building
railroads for private corporations, and
it is not easy to feel that an obligation
to do more Of this kind Of work is upon
us just now. Convict labor on public
works brought the state as high as sixty
cents a day per man very recently. II
we only get 25 cents each for the 400
asked for, the yield would be 500 day.
It is no use to bother with dog tax and
whisky tax if we have money and labor
both to give away.

remarkable age Of four score years. His
immense fortune is variously estimated
at from 60 to leo millions. His invest
ments We're chiefly in railroads of
his real estate being assessed at only
$4,000 He died singing hymns
eighty years a sinner ard two weeks a
Christian. Beecher says he ought to
have divided the time a little more
evenly. We hope he is in Heaven, but
sixty millions in hand, with children
starving in the alleys around him and
freezing in the snow banks searching for

he said that the impression IN Wash

The Northern Democrats are thoroughly
aroused, and bushels Of letters have
been received by Northern Democratic
from their constituents
urging them to firnness and undinchinc
demand Of Democratic success. The
Southern members are quiet but deeply
interested spectators, pursuing course
Of prudence and moderation, and await
ing the developments. On the other
hand, Grant and the more ultra of the
Republicans are bold and menacing.
evidently meaning war. Some hope,
however, hinges on the conservative
course Of Conkling and others. while
even Blaine is said to oppose, though
not openly, the course of the Admins ira
ton. Everything, then, depends upon
the anjmus Of the Indignation meetings,
especially the monster gatherings propos-
edin New York. II these De pronounced
and demonstrative, the Republicans will
succumb otherwise they will attempt
the Inauguration Of Hayes at any cost.
