The Alexandria Gazette says: Time
is playing sad havoc with the reputation
of the leading republicans of this coun-
try. From the time when those who
murdered Mrs. Surratt. like Judas Is
carrot, went out and killed themselves,
down through the succeeding links OF
Colfax, Beecher, Pomeroy, Belknap.
Robson, and numerous others, to the
recent developments concerning Sena-
tor Conkling, the fame of the great cap
tains of radicalism seems only to have
been achieved in order that it might be
destroyed. OF the entire lot the Surratt
murderers present the least repulsive
picture, because their fate shows that
they were not entirely devoid of con-
science.

himself is, whether he proposes to wear
the livery of these masters who. for the
most selfish and purely personal aims,
and for no public propose that deserves
mention, desire to dissolve the party
which the wisest and best of Virginians
founded for the rescue and regeneration
of the State.
There can be no question as to the
purpose aud effect of this movement,
were success possible. The promoters,
who now whine SO piteously at being
thrust out Of the party. are the men
who, with great flourish of trumpets,
stabbed tho party six montho ago and
organized a machine to keep up the
stabbing. Their press and platform
are now chiefly occupied with personal
abuse of the party organization, and
their declared purpose the thwarting of
a great conservative line of policy. And
az their purpose IS SO would the result
be, if their success answ ered their hopes.

-Agitate.

"Apitate" is the great word with those
who desire to repeal the settlement of
the State debt az provided for under the
McCulloch Bill. "Yea, let us agitate,"
say they, "then we, the political froth
of the State may rise to the top; it is our
only hope.n Let the State have "rest"
was the cry of those who desired her
prosperity and the honest settlement of
her liabilities. A bill has now been
passed which enables her to honestly
meet her obligations without any in
crease of taxation and let US abide by it.
mo, "say the agitators, "this will never
do, we must keep up the strife or else all
our hopes for Office are gone" Well, we
say, SO let it be. Let "agitate" be the
watchword. Let the true men of Vir-
ginia meet these disturbers of the public
welfare on every stump in the State.
Tell the people what is to be accom-
plished by the McCulloch Bill, and de-
mand from its opposers a better meas
ure. Give the people the facts and the
figures and leave it with them to de-
eide. We have,no fear of the result.
We have in previous issues OF the
SPECTATOR published the official figures
of a sworn officer of the State govern
ment. Shall these 60 or.nought against
the mere demagogical asseverations OF
such men as parson Massey, and the
ambitious Malone, who wanted to use
the sinking fund of the State to pur-
chase railroad, which he had bank
rupted?
Malone said he would be satisfied
with interest on the State debt at per
cent. Why then does he oppose bill
which allows only per cent for ten
years? But this would not suit him.
for he we'll knows that a rest of ten years
from agitation would put the State in
such a prosperous condition that dema
gogues like himself would have nj
show. Hence, they.say,- let us "agitate.
Well, we must meet them on their owl
ground, and success will be ours.
