THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY &C

An amendment! to the Legislative, Judicial
and Executive bill, repealiOg the obocz'ous
Federal election laws, was proposed ID tfc
House Of Representatives yesterday, aad the
discussion Of that question was commencsd anc
prosecuted with degree of vlgor and earnest
cess that attests its vita! importance rot only
to the respective political parties engaged 10
the c,ntcst, but TO the purity aud freedom OF
the ballot 10 this country. IF there must be
Federal interference, in tho election of members
of the House Of Representatives, why not IN
the election of United States senators, and 10
that of the State Legislators, who choose them
Or, conversely, if tho people of the rcspec'
tive States arc FREQ from Federal interference
10 the election of their State oficers, even these
who select their representatives 10 tho United
States Senate, is there any sufficient reason
Why they should not enjoy tho same freedom
respecting The election OF the members OF the
lower house of Cougresa2 1t is by no means
strained conclusion that people who exercise
the unobs!ruoted right OF eecting men who
With the election cf those who lay the taxes Tor
the support CT tho general government. The
Federal election laws, though not war measures,
were the result OF the war, and we're passed by
republican Congress for tho sole purpose OF
perpetuating republican rule 10 the South. In
the lace of them that rule has now been brok'
en-, aud as their contirued operation is only G
source Of annoyance and irritation they should
be aunulled. It is unnatural to suppose that
good feeling can DO completely restored at the
South while all tho power Of tho Federal gov.
er1meut is used TO intimidate democratic voters
there as federal e!eotions. The war is over and
gone. and it is the part of wisdom to promote all
measures that will condues to the restoration Of
peace, and 40 one measure is moro favorable
to that end thar the repeal of the statutes
which permi; such travesties Of Law and such
ouirsgos ca the rights Of citizens as are now
daily Witnessed in the United States Courts at
New Oilcaas.

Ships for Brazil arc beiog loaded now Ut

brought there ifom ki,bmood, via the York
River Railroad, aud the trade carried 90 in this
roundabout way is profitable. The country ct
which Alexandra is both the natural aud arsl-
fetal market is The finest wheat producing

discharges, as directly, its fur into tho holds
of the largest s;z,d vessels And yet, tho mill
il idle, the ships are at other ports ard tho
wheat passes through here to more northern
markets Why is it that Alexandria, with lis
unexcaed and rarely equaled facilities for con
ductipg large trade in flour, is almost without
a semblance Of such trade ? The mill can be
boueh! for nero fraction of its cost, or be
rented for song, and oGn be run With as little
expense % any similar mill in the world; and.
of course, the ccss of transporting the wheat
farther North can be saved By grinding it here,
and the carriage for both The wheat and the

position of the mill does not require it. The
enumeration ofthese advantages ard the lo1
rates of interest at which money is being invested
only make the solution of The question more
difficult. if rot impossible. That, however,
Alexandria has little or nc fur trade is no less
fac: than that she could have en- extensive
and profitable one if some capable mau, with q
moderate capital, would only avail himself Of
the advantages she offers. United States bonds
are safe securities, but they pay a low ratio Of
interest. The l,ur mill of this city, 10 the
hands Of a capable end efficient business man,
would DO just as safe aod ten fold more remu-
lucrative. There are plenty of such men, and
