VIRGINIA POLITICS.

IN. Y. Herald.]
GREENBR1ER WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, I
West Virginia, August 25, 1877.
Representatives from all the various
parties now contending for supremacy
In Virginia are here. Those who advo-
cate openly reputation are very few
and without influence; those who
boldly proclaim that the last dollar
must be paid by an immediate increase of
taxes are also fnconsiderable in num-
ber.. The controlling party Is evidently
made up Of those who advocate an ap-
peal to the creditors for an adjustment
OF the State deEt upon such basis as
will insure the punctual payment Of in
terest at lower rate than six per cent,
and the final extinguishment of the
principal. The coming canvass in Vir-
ginia will be conducted upon this idea.
It will be very heated in the counties in
the election Of members Of the Legis-
lature.
There will be no regular canvass for
State officers, for the regular Conserva-
tive nominees will certainly not have
Republican opposition, nor will they
kind. There may be local dissatisfac-
tion in certain quarters, but it will
amount to nothing. The Federal Ad-
ministration Is too much interested in
the financial condition of the State to
encourage or to permit Republican op-
position, on the Reputation platform,
to the Holiday ticket, which means
honest administration and fair dealing
with the creditors.
NO REPUDIATION.
The great mass Of the people of Vir-
ginia are honest, although poor, and
will not sustain any other than an hon.
est financial policy. Holiday will be
elected without trouble by an immense
majority, and the creditors will then
probably be requested to meet the State
authorities in spirit of confidence and
compromise.

MACHINE MADE.

The following story is told of high life
at the United States Hotel at Saratoga !:
Yesterday my waiter told me that he
heard rich old lady from Duluth say
she was "going to cut Mrs. Dobson
dead"
"Why cut Mrs. Dobson?'' asked a
lady friend.
Because her husband has lost all his
money, and she wears a machine made
dress. Do you think want to associate
with any such dresses as she wears
mel" And this indignant and aristo-
cratic old lady from Duluth went on
eating fried potatoes with her knife.
How do you know 1t is machine
made dress?" asked her friend.
ME know! mel" she exclaimed.
Then this aristocratic old lady leaned
forward and whispered so low that no.
body but her friend heard her-"I'll
tell you how / know that Mrs. Dobson
wears a machine-made dress-I used to
be seamstress and I saw the stitches
clear across the room."

BULL-DoozER.

The origin of the word "bulldozer," or
sbull-doozer. as IL is called by Che aborigines
of the Feliciana jungles, has become q pro-
found pathological question, and The authors
of it have become as multitudinous and as
biu O. nuisance as he of the beautiful
Snow" Mr.. Richard Grant White has given
us one origin, which is curious II ii is nothing
else; but we have read some few satires on
antiquarians very nearly as good as the
theory he advances The Times has also
given us version which brings to mind a
pleasing suggestion of the good old times in
the South that must have been extremely
gratifying TO all its Southern readers. Which
Of these two versions is the more fancifu it Is
hard to say.
The author OF the word is we'll known in
1he country where 1t originated, and, II we
mistake not he is a resident of West Baton
Rouge. But the following letter, published
anne months ago In the Natehitoches Va,di-
gafos, we have no doubt, gives the true ver-
aion Of Its origin. The pronunciation OF the
word In that country agrees with this expo
sition, which is f'buli-doozer," which is the
exact pronunciation person with broken
German accent would give to the word
ssdozen.''

DAYS since while on visit to New Orleans,
if company with gentleman from one OF the
FeIicianas, when, during quite an extended
chit chat, j noticed that he used the word

TINT that new Americanism had It's origin In
that portion Of the State asked him II such
was q fact, and II SO, would he give me some
account as to how it originated. He replied
that he knew all about i, and that It's history

OUR ARMY UNIFORM.
ILos Vegas Gazette. |

An old soldier has been passing some
homely criticisms upon one of Mrs.
Buffers battle pieces. He says the
mems faces look too clean after days
firing. For our own part, the greatest
fault we have to find with the battle
pieces of our great artists is that in too
many cases the uniforms appear to have
been made with some vague intention
OF fitting the soldiers who might wear
them. We don't know how it may be
in other countries, but in the United
States army quartermaster who would
furnish uniform that would tit an in
fantry soldier any better than it would
q cow would be instantly dismissed from
the service. This is strict law, and
there has never been a dismissal under
it yet.

Rose Eytinge, the popular actress,
has persistently refused to have her
photograph taken. The result is that

she let 1t be known that she proposed
taking swim at North Beach. When
she left the hotel an express wagon,
with camera a5s in it foll1wed low her car

made a confession. which throws the crime on
one Joseph King. King denies any knowledge
OF the crime The prevailing impression is
that Terril did the most Of the horrible work.
The murdered man was thrifty farmer. and
was generally supposed to have money about
the house. Tcrrill says they met with him
about half a mile from his house; that King
without any warning walked up and deliberate-
ly shot him in the bowels. Then ensued
tussle. during which King shot him in the
hreasi on"" and twice in the neck. The victim
picked up an old corn cutter and throw IT at
King. and struck him in the back King SEIZED
