The Alexandria Gazette says that I'M
less. General Malone makes haste and
and comes back to the democratic party
speedily, when he does return, as ne
must eventually, if he wishes to have
any influence at home or in the nation,
for senator must belong to one of the
two parties to have any really effective
power, it will be thought that he has
not done so of his own accord, but that
he has been driven back by the republi-
cans who would not have him, and the
prevalence of such an impression will
not be at all agreeable to him. Here,
for instance, is what the Philadelphia
American, the new Capitalization organ,
says about him:
"The republican party cannot afford
to receive General Malone into its
ranks, even on probation, if the price is
to be the conformation of his great crime
against public honesty. 1t has every
thing to lose and nothing to gain by the
proposed alliance. 1t is of some conse'
quence, of course, to have afiother re-
publican vote In the Senate, but the
price asked by Gen. Malone is extor-
tionate, and will not be paid, whatever
bargain may be made by "the inf1uenti
al gentlemen" who have been so i'm
pressed by his views that they have
thought it worth while to lay them be
fore the country. Republicanism is mo-
to be built up in the South by any suct
means, and if it were, it would be at thu
expense of republicanism in thu

The Valley Virginian and Malone.

The last Valley Firginiam publishes
the long interview Of Malone with a
number of Northern men in Washing
ton, and reviews it at some length in its
leading editorial, which concludes as
follows =
1.-THE assumption that the Riddleber-
ger Bill is the measu re of adjustment the
people demand is without authority. AS
we have stated that bill was never dis
cussed before them-it was never passed
upon at the polls, and cannot be truth
fully stated to reflect the popular will.
The only presentation of the debt that
has ever been endorsed by the people is
Incorporated in the McCulloch Bill, and
but for the unfortunate details of that
enactment-its coupon, its syndicates
be the accepted policy of the State. The
Legislature elected in 1877 was chosen
upon that formulation of the debt. Judge
Allen maintained substantially the
terms of that bill, as to the principle and
accrued interest of the debt, and the rate
of interest to be observed. He was
elected Speaker of the House of Dele
gates by the Read usJers, as the expo
| nent of the policy it involved, with the
exceptions as heretofore stated, and so
| far as any popular expression that here
tOfOre indicated the will of the people,
| $50, 900, 900 of debt at 4 per cent is re-
| Election of it. But the creditors have
manifested a willingness to do even bet
ter than this for the State. They have
indicated their concession to a per
cent. rate of interest on that amount,
| placing it beyond peradventure, within
the capacity.of the aggregate Ofrevenues
as realized under the assessment of 1879
to meet the interest demands, support
the State Government, and give to the
schools every dollar the Constitution
dedicates to them, and leaving surplus
ample for all conting encies which might
arise protecting the Commonwealth
from the stain of Reputation and estab-
fishing her credit and character thro-
ughout the commercial world. With
out this consent there can be no settle-
ment of this vexed question, The
adoption of the Riddleberger Bill could
not compel the holders of the consol
bonds to relinquish the advantages they
hold. Even should the Supreme Court
of the State be changed and the decision
in the Antoni- Wright case reversed by
that body, the Supreme Court of the
United States would still hold that the
contract under which the receivable
coupons were issued was invioIable, and
no legislative evpedient could impair its
power and effect.
The people of the State are getting
worried and Disguised with this come
dy of errors" about the debt question.
and we are sure when they find that
the Riddleberger Bill will constitute no
settlement of it and that no adjustment
can be made without the consent of the
holders of the consol bonds, they will
arouse themselves to the consideration
of some measure that promises final
disposition of the whole matter-a set
Element in fact well as in name, and
such as will not carry with it the Odor
of reputation"

The storm of Thursday night of last
week, was particularly severe in New
York and New Jersey. Telegraph wires
were Frustrated, and direct electric COM
munlcation was greatly interrupted. A
striking popularity of the storm was the
rapid formation of immense icicles upon
the wires and trees, in many cases car
rying down the wires and breaking of
the branches of the trees by their weight.
The New Jersey coast was swept by a
terrible gale all day, the wind blowing
