The Next House.

II ,s almost rs important that the Demo
graf, shall elect majority OF the members
Of the next House Of Representatives OF
Congress as that II shalt elect General HAN
cocx. We have the Senate safe for several
wears 10 come. We have bright prosper
of elec,ing our candidate for President
Under these circumstances. 1t wouid DC
calamity to lose the next House OF REPRE-
sentstiyes. And yet the Resdlus'e's !"
Virginia are doing oil that lies IN the'r
mower 10 defeat the Democratic cshuiua'e'
Tor Congress. They are trying TO dNide
the Democratic vote in every district D!
puttiug up candidates OF their own
General BeALE. General HUTTON, JOHN
Coopr. GEORGE CABEIL, Ran TUCKER
Joux r. HARRIS, and J. Il. RICHMOND, are
all 70 be sacrificed to Readluster malignity
II General MAHoNE's orders are to be car
ried out. Not one OF them is MALONE
man. and therefore not one OF them Is nt 20
represent Virginia in Congress.
Upon this rock the ReSdjusters' ciaft
ouebt TO be wrecked. The Democrats OF
the Union will look with detestation upon
such democrats " o. and regard them
onl, as allies OF the Republican party. NO
man is Democrat at heart who would thus
sacrifice the interests OF the national DEM
ocratic marty and OF the country TO ma"
ugnant hatred OF the leaders OF the Demo-
cratic party in Virginia The pretence Is
shallow enough that the men are genuine
HANCOCK men who a month ago ala not
know whether they would support MN or
GARFIELD; but the pretcnce that those
men are true Democrats who reiuse 10 vote
for the Democratic nominees for Con-
press can deceive nobody VINO does
not wish to be deceived. The emf
nent fitness OF Ran TICKER must yield
10 the eminent untitness OF JAMES A. FRA
zIER. The faithful, dillgent. and eXempla'
representative john T. HARRIS must give
way to the Stentor JOHN PAUL. The dis
tipguished GOoDE must retire and give place
10 some mau who would have no more IN
fiuence in the House OF Representatives
than ROBERT MORTON would have. The
Woodworking and true-hearted CABELL
must turn over his seat TO Tony ST0VALL.
And yet the men Tho propose these changes
in the Virginia delegation in Congress are
the same men who profess to be friends OF
General HANCOCK and anxious for his sue
cess who pretend to consider themselves
allies OF the national Democracy and entl-
tied TO be recognized as the Slmon-Pure
Democrats Of the Old Dominion
These false pretences, we repeat, cannot
deceive the Democrats Of the nation. The
HANCOCK electoral ticket which was put into
the field last May is the only ticket which is
entitled to the least consideration at the
hands OF any true Democrat. The bogus
HANCOCK ticket has upon 1t tie names Of
some men who recently declared openly
that they we're as ready to vote for GARFIELD
rs for HANCOCK if they were required to do
so bv the Convention which assembled in
this city last Wednesday. Such HANCOCK
men are not TO be trusted. They might
change their minds again before election-day.
General MALONE might issue an edict re-
curing them to vote for GARFIELD for rea-
sons satisfactory to himself; and some OF
them, at least, would be apt to obey the or
der.
There is no reason why any true Demo-
crat should take any risk in regard to these
meters. Let him act with the regular
Democratic party this year, supporting the
regular nominees for Congress and for cleo
tors, and next year. when State issues shall
again come to the front, let him again act
with the Resdiusters il he will. But be
can offer no good reason-none satisfactory
TO his own mind, or to those OF his Demo
cratic neighbors-ior giving aid and CON-
fort TO the Republicans, under the pretext
that he is voting for Democrats when he
votes for either the boiling electors or the
boiling Readiuster candidates for Congress.
