sESAToR JAMks g. BLAINE Is reported
to have made large amount Of money
in mining stocks in New York. Mr..
Chafee put him into most OF them, or
directed his movements. Rumor says
that in one mine Blaine had as much as
10000 shares.
Tx motto OF Legislatures, says the
New York World, appears to be adopted
from that OF some shops: If you don't
see what you want in the Statutes, ask
for it," II you represent private
interest, you will be pretty sure to get
it; but il you only represent apublic
need, you will be pretty sure not to get
it. As regards the latter, some Legisla-
lures have great capacity OF showing
"hOw not 10 do 1t.
DIX. LEONARD BAcoX's two reasons
against third-term are as follows:
First, President Grants first term pro-
duced that schism in the Republican
party which made Horace Greeley
Democratic candidate for the Presidency.
Secondly, President Grants second tenn
resulted in that political reaction which
almost defeated the election OF President
Hayes, and which has given the control
Of Congress in both Houses to the Dem
ocratic party. Gen. Grants third term
is not yet the third fact.

Ir is to be- hoped that tho census Of
licials in West Virginia will prove them

ticians Aside from the enumeration OF

trial and vital statistics will form very
| important task IN which accuracy Is cS-
sentia. West Virginia will show great
| advance in population and IN Industries.
| These facts must be- brought out accu-
| rately, and hence the necessity Of hay-

| to do the work. The last census OF
| West Virginia was grossly inaccurate.
| There is no reason why the work should
not he done with absolute correctness.

"TnE people of the SOUTH said the

many cases by newspapers in the North.

up in lew words the whole situation
in the South. The people want peace"
They are sick OF constant yituperatl0n
and wrangliug. All that they ask Tor
is the right to administer their own

THE announcement made yesterday
| that an ill-asSOrted union between an
ex Senator aud his young wife is to be
dissolved by divorce, sought by one
on the other, adds one more to the long
list OF social scandals at Washington
which surprise only the general public,
and Of which newspaper men are
| long aware, but disCreetly hold
their peace. As one sound or bril-
liant reputation after another has been
smutched during the past year, it must
have grown plain TO many, asit is always
known toa lew, that Washington has u
number OF rotten spots neatly glazed
| over, which break through and show
filth when some strain comes; but II
would bc u mistake to suppose that
Washington il so much worse than 9th.
