THE readiusters or repudiators have
been victorious in Virginia, carrying
both houses of the legislature. Their
first move will be to repeal the law which
now provides for the settlement of the debt
on basis satisfactory to the creditors, but
Gov. Halliday is strong supporter of the
debt'paying policy, and the repudiators'
majority will not be sufficient to override
a veto. The end of it will be to leave the

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALEXANDER COUNTY.

GENERAL GARFIELD is reported as not re-

date, owing partly to the strong sentiment
against third term, which is putting the
opposition on the least tenable ground.
Garfield thinks also that Grant doesn't want
to be a candidate, which is exactly what
Grant said to the Chinese viceroy, but the

New York Tribune (Rep): Stanley
Matthews seems to have swung himself
out in favor of the nomination of Presi-
dent Hayes for second term. He has
declared on several occasions lately that,
while the President is pledged not to run
again, he (Matthews) is of the opinion
that stronger candidate can not be
found, and that his denomination is a
possibility.
New York Times (Rep.); The contin-
gency of Democratic victory in Ohio is
not sufficiently threatening to give any
one much uneasiness. but it is a good
illustration of the pass to which a shifty
poliAcian may be reduced to find that
the success of a candidate nominated in
his own interest is almost as disquieting
prospect for Senator Thurman as the
success of his opponents.
Boston Traveller (Stalwart Rep.): The
Herald, alluding to the fact that the
stalwart Republicans and the President
are now acting in harmony, and COM
mending the latter, says: "rhe stone
which the builders refused is become the
head stone of the corner" This lame at
tempt to quote Scripture is as unfortun-
ate as the illustration. 1t is true that
President Hayes has found place in
the Republican structure, but it is only
after he has been hammered and hewn
into shape for it.
Baltimore Gazette (Dem.): The nomi-
nation of Gen. Ewing by the Ohio Dem
ocrats is severe blow to Thurman's Pres
idental aspirations. The feud between
Ewing and John G. Thompson, the rep
resentative and managing man for the
Senator, is so great that it will be impos-
sible for Mr.. I. to retain the position of
Chairman of the State Executive Com
mittee. The party machinery of the
State will pass from the control of Mr..
Thurman's friends, and the only chance
left for the Senator now is to secure, if
possible, the next Legislature and an
other term of the Senatorship

SPIRIT OF THE GERMAN PAPERS

The German Government has, according
to to-day's dispatches, resolved to recon-
mend to the other powers, united inter
vention towards ending the war between
Chill and Peru. A united intervention Of
this kind is, although not common, not i'm
probable. 1t will, as we recently stated, be
justified on the ground that a state, which
principally owes its existence to foreign

AND now the interviewer has arrived

new Partisan paper, the Globe, of which
we gave recently some account. The
Count stood right up like little man

gave the astounding information to the

ropean world generally stood the naked
facts of diplomacy without any particu-
