TIE OLD DOMINION MIDDLE.

THE OLD DOMlNION hOOOhH'
The political excitement which now
prevails at the capital OF Virginia sur
passes anything that has occurred since
the scenes Of the late war.
The one, single subject which buries
out of sight and out OF mind all national
issues or other questions in local poll
tics, is the disposition OF the Statedeb
The leagues and combinations which
have been formed between political OPP
ponents show to what an intense de-
gree the public interest is centered in
the one issue. The feeling between the
Democratic and Republican parties in
Virginia has heretofore been very
bitter, yet it does not stand in
the way of intimate coalitions be-
tween those who think alike upon the
State debt question. They caucus to-
gether, vote together, aud act in entire
harmony even as to men who shall fill
the offices, provided only there is no
difference Of sentiment upon the one
supreme issue.
Gen. MAHoNE, the leader OF the Read
iusters. and who will be chosen by the
aid Of the Republicans to succeed WITH
ERs i'm the L. :. Senate, is a prom
inent Democrat on all other ques-
tons. lie will go to the Senate to
act with the Democrats on national
issues. He is the autocrat OF the
new party, which seems to ignore
their party affiliations for the time be
ing. and have used their power to lie
capitate the present ministerial officers
of the State, all of whom are or have
been the political friends and associates
OF MALONE. They have turned out such
men as Hon. K. NJ. I. HUNTER and
other old time Democrats, whose loyalty
to the party is without suspicion, and
whose past services have, in the opinion
Of the Democratic managers, when they
had the management, entitled them to
the positions they occupied. Their
places, too, in some instances, will be
filed by negroes and political bummers
who have suddenly appeared on the
surface as useful instruments in the
hands ofthe new managers.
Allthis would seem like determina-
ton on the part of MALONE to disinteg-
rate aud destroy tine Democratic party
i'm his State. But while it may cventu-
ally destroy him in his relations with
the party, there is no probability that
the Readjusters will eohere sufficiently
to crystalize into anything like perma-
nent party. Ii is but conglomerate
mass of elements without ahinities, and
will be scattered after the debt question
is out OF the way. We be-
lieve that no party in Virginia
advocates Reputation, and after
the passions engendered in the late can
vass have cooled, and when the Read
justers have failed, as they will, to con-
summate, their peculiar scheme, the
common interests OF all parties will OPP
crate to drive the discordant elements
back To their old affiliations, and give
the Democratic party an opportunity to
fairly adjust this debt trouble upon
right principles.

PRESIDENT HAYES.

A Cincinnati paper observes that
there are half a dozen papers that
take much comfort in speaking OF
HAYES message They are stricken
with sorrow when they see the word
President" An exchange that does not
omit the title very well explains that
$50 far rs We are concerned we aim to
be careful 10 use the title President
often enough in connection with Mr..
HAYES name to let the public know
whom we are talking about, and we
consider this all the more necessary,
for the reason that in his case the title
is one for designation merely, and in
no respect one of honor, since every
time he is addressed or spoken Of IN
that way he is merely valet maSquer-
aiding in royal insignia, and We employ
his masqueradiug title
Ii was doubtless never thought neccs-
sary 10 invariably USE the prefix OF Pres

were for the time hs WASHINGTON, NJ,

more distinguished without the title
than with il. But here appears man
with no right to the place, which a cor
don of thlevish returning boards have
helped him to usurp. The office cannot
honor a man under such circumstances,
but he is acting in the place OF a Presi-
dent, and therefore it is more necessary
To- employ the handle than ii he had a
right To it.. We do not wonder that his
friends are sensitive on the subject.

WEST VIRGINIA AND THE CEN
SUS

SUS-
Iii possible that tine next census, II
accurate. will show that West Virginia
is entitled % an additional Representa-
tive in Congress.
but there will bee strong Inducements
ON the part OF the Republican managers
tl make the figures miss the mark just
iar enough tp shut ont another Demo
cratic Representative. Il - no rare oc-
currcnre that census statistics have been
made to lie for the benefit of political
parties. and the Indications are that the
politicians around Washington will this
winter give special attention to the ar
rgnermcnts for taking the census.
The last census showed that We had
but a small increase To- make in pOpu-
r,tion io cntitle us 20 the fourth Repre-
sentative. and # We have not gained the
requisite number i'm tine last decade, IT
will be So close as 20 invite the attention
Of the political schemcrs, and possibly
10 have the returns so manipulated as to
cheat rs out of our rights. With the
country So evenly divided on Presi-
dental contest, and the two parties in
Congress having nothing to spare, II Is
a matter of some moment To- have West
Virginia invested with an additional
vote i'm the electoral college and another
representative i'm the Lower House OF
Congress
The taking OF the census : one OF tie
matters with which the politicians ought
to have nothing to do. but evidences
are not wanting that they are expected
10 have a great deal to 10 with it. There
is not cnly large amount OF political
patronage to be dispensed in this con-
nection, hut, as we have said, there is a
splendid opportunity for gigantic frauds
10 be perpetrated in the new apportion-
ments that will follow the taking a. the
census.
The country is greatly interested in
4 correct census that will show its growth
in population and its advance in manu-
features and general products, and any
thing done TO impair its accuracy or
completeness Is an injustice to the
whole country. But late events IN our
political history have shown that there
are no lengths to which political parties
will not 90 10 accomplish their pur-
poses. A party that will la'sify the re-
turns Of the electoral college and in
stall president who was defeated by a
majority OF the votes OF the States,
would not hesitate moment to ialsiiy
the census returns for party purposes.
As the appointment OF the officials who
take the census rests with the Execu-
tive Department. We may look out Tor
perpetnation of the policy by which
that office Is now filled.

pup uOusE IN 1881.

As the political complexion OF the
present House OF Representatives is
fixed beyond dispute, AMI the Demo
Gratis have assured control until the eth
Of March. 1881, speculation is now turn
ing upon the prospects Of the parties in
the House whose term commences in
1851 and ends in 1883.
A Washington correspondent OF a Re
publican paper furnishes some statistics
which DO not make the outlook for the
Republicans appear very favorable.
OF the 293 Representatives in Con-
gress. lS7 come from the old free States,
and 100 from the old slave States. In
the present Congress, chasing all the
members as Republicans and Democrats,
the former have l26 from the Northern
AMI from the Southern States. while
the Democrats have 81 from the North
ern and lOl from the Southern States.
Now 10 takes Ia TO constitute bare
majority. Ii the Republicans could carry
all the districts i'm the North there
would bee no trouble, but the
correspondent has been over the cleo
ton statistics for the past ten years by
districts. and finds that of thc one hun
dred and cighty.seven Northern dis
tricts, iorty-ejght ar. Democratic at all
times and under alJ circumstances.
This would leave the Republicans one
hundred and thir,y-uiue in the states
where they row have but one hundred
and twcutv-six. To ct that increase OF
thirteen members they would be COM
pellad 10 devote all their energies to the
North. but that would leave them still
right members 90 secure I'M the south,
where they now have five. These five
are as many rs they are likely to get in
the present condition OF politics in that
section. There will be very likely be a
good many Independents elected to the
House from the South, but they will
act with the Democrats in Con,r,s' on
mot political questions, ami in the or
