DAVE THourSoY, of Portland, is the

ernor, but they are afraid Of his record.
The whole OF his fortune has been made
during the last fifteen years out Of govern

they have been-mere gifts To partisan favor

money so obtained for the bsnetito The party
He was once governor Of Idaho. but finding
that he could secure the mail contracts for

weeks after he hal been installed. His re-

WHAT WILL They SAy.-What Will
the wavers of the bloody shirt say to the
action of Governor Holiday, of Virginia. in
the case of the negro, Charlotte Harris.
who was lynched in Rockingham county
recently, ON suspicion OF having bnrned a
barn. The governor declares thar the lynchers
are "murderers," and has offered = reward OF
500 apiece for their apprehension. More
than this, he has gone 10 the scene of hang
ing 70 personally investigate the matter, and
direct the proceedings looking to the dis
covery and arrest OF the criminals. We say
what will the wavers of Of the .bloody
shirt say to this action, 1t sort Of knocks
the talk out Of them, and gives the lie direct
to their assertions that there is no protection
or redress for negroes in Virginia PERHAPS
the negress did burn harn and deserved
hanging, but that fact was no; aseertained
through the medium OF legal trial. and
Governor Holiday is determined that the
law shall he law In Virginia He viii hot

put at the mercy Of mob, and possible In
hoeence made to suffer in the place of guilt.

THE FISHEErEs AwARp.-As everybody
knows, the commission appointed to looiI in-
to the long dis,.uted fishery question found
that this government ought to pay to Great
Britain the sam of S5,53J, ,09o for the use Of
the Cana,lian fisheries for the pasttan years
As every one III tlis country thinks lie
knows, this award Is an oGtrage ap"n justice
the American commission Of 1873 having
offered only Sl,O90,00e tor tie use OF the
Canadian fisheries forever, asd We beirgnow
required to pay i've times tia. Ior thc-r use
for ten years THIS isa brief statement of
the case; and the question arises whether
the United 5 atcs should kick AGAINST
the finding Of court, however unjust into
which it went with open eyes. England was
made to stand by the Alabama award. in
whiche case the United States packed got iif
teen million dollars With this precedent, it
seems scarcely proper for the United States
to back down from the payment OF fiye
million dollars for the use Of the fisheries.

WHOLESOME LEGISLATIoN.-The Nir-
ginia legislature has made material changes
in the criminal laws OF the state. Stripes
are to be inflicted for petty larccncy and
minor offences OF Ike character but Eot
more than thirty-ninc stripes may be in
tiicted upon any victim IN one day, and
notmOre than seventy eight for one offence.
When IA female is convicted Of an oilence
punishable by the lash, she may, in the
discretion of the court, be sentenced TO
confinement in jail for a period noteAceed-
ing twelve months. The object OF these
provisions appear 10 be to substitute the
whipping post for short terms OF imprison-
ment, and thus relieve the pcnitentiary
from petty offenders Intermarriage be-
tween whites and negroes is made 4 felony
punishable by not less than two nor mo-
than ten years Imprisonment.

ONE of the most modest and best of our
citizens engaged in the blessed task of nur-
sing the sick and caring for the indIgent was
Mr.. NJ. ). lobe, who died yesterday of
second attack Of the yellow-fever. When
the epidemic was announced he volunteered
as a membe- cf the Citizens relief commit
tee, with which he served with the rare
fidelity that characterized him in every walk
of life, until the Howard ASSOCIATION called
for members. Though he had just conva-
lesced from what was deemed light attack
of the. fever, AID was hardly equal to the
task, he promptly sent IN his name, was
gladly accepted and at once assigned to duty.
His field OF operations was the eighth ward,
in which he had resided and where he was
we'll known. Ia the heart of the then infected
district, it had proved singularly fatal to all
the Howar6s who had preceded him, but
nothing daunted, Mr. Jobe went to his work
earnestly and remained at his post until the
fever took him for the second time. Weak
ened by the fret attack and the labors of FIVE
weeks of most difficult labor, it proved too
much for him. He passed away yesterday
after a few days Of contest, during which he.
was sustained by the best medical skill and
the most faithful nursing. Mr.. Jobe was a
native Of Jackson, IN this State, but was edu-
Gated at Bolivar, where he learned the trade
of matchmaker, which he followed here for
many years, beng employed in the once
famous establishment of James Z. Merriman.
Prudent and industrious, in few years he
accumulated a competency which enabled
NJ Iak 70 1.-Two x-ffb md p1t1ley q
leisure, during which he found time to per-
form a great many kindly, neiRhoorly
offices for the needy and suffering. He was
a consistent and jealous member OF the Bap-
fist church, exempiiying n his life an
earnest, practical christian piety.
