DESPITE all MahOne's buster in the

he betrayed Virginia and the price of it
is attempted to he paid by the Republi-
cans. He cannot escape the conclusion
that the price WAS the consideration of
and influenced the betrayal. The Re-
publicans, desperately ashamed of their
bargain and doubly miserable because
they cannot carry it out, vainly essay to
prove that Mahoneism rises above repu-
diatiOn and has significance of veal for
Virginia and the South. Mr.. MahOne's
own organ, the Richmond Whiy, gives
the quietus to I'LL that sort of talk in 4
recent issue in which it says, that what
ever may be said in the Senate about a
free ballot, 4 fair count and free schools,
the great issue in the state is the Riddle
berger hill, and that the Readjuster con-
vention to be held in June will plant it.
self on that bill. The editorial calls
upon the party followers to give the bill
their first attention and let the other
matters come i'm afterwards if they can.
Every thing is to be subordinated to re-
pudiation, and the free ballot and free
schools which afford the Republican
senators themes for glittering generali-
ties are to g come in afterwards if they
can"

ANOTHER FIRE.

Last night about II o'clock frame barn
belonging to Jacob Betz, situated between
lsockland and South Duke streets in rear
Of the Rockland street public s,hOol
house. was set on fire and totally destroyed,
together with all it's contents except
the live stock. BY using cxtraordi-
nary efforts Mr.. Betz, assisted by his
wife aud sons, succeeded in rescuing from
the burning building four horses and two
| cows, but everything else in the building
was burned, including two wagons, a
thrcshing machine, horse power feed-cut-
tcrs, and farm Implements of various
kinds. About $50 bushels Of wheat,
large quantity of hay, straw and feed were
also destroyed. The barn was in two parts,
one Of which had becn recently built at an
expense of sl,5W. Mr.. Betz's loss
will probably reach $1,000, which
is partly covered by an insurance
of $500 on the barn in the Farmers Mutual,
of which MIR. John Strohm is agent. There
is also an insurance of 81 900 on the contents
in the same company.

Our BeIllgerent Senator.

If Mr.. CamerOn-that Cameron who
is Il United States senator from Penn
sylvania-is suffering from severe
physical ailment, such as intensified his
wOrriment during the late struggle at
Harrisburg and such as disables him
from self control in times of great ex-
citelnent he is entitled to sympathy rath-
er than ridicule for the exhibition which
he makes of himself on the floor of the
Senate. None the less, i'm that event,
should he resign or keep out of the SEN
ate until he is better. Yesterday while
discussion was going on between Hill
and MahOne, in which from AL accounts
CamerOn's 5 name had not been mention
ell, he suddenly started up, shook his
fist ut Hill and wanted frantically to
know what he meant by that" Be-
fore Hill had time to ask, or Cameron to
tell what that WAS, our senator of
such suddenly developed pugilistic dis
position started for Hill, and was only
restrained from making his way over
seats ard benches, by the dead weight
of Il heavy senator attached to each coat
tail. 4 more vigorous and athletic man
even than our senator is could not I've
expected Ia make much headWay thus
handicapped.
But what does it mean During the
late CANVASS for Il colleague to him, his
intellectual failings were so fOrcibly pre-
sented that his recent speeches, read
though they were somewhat nervOusly,
have been attributed to desire to gain
some literary reputation but what
emergency or demand upon him has
called for this display Of violent physical
courage? Whence these Outbursts of the
scion of THE FAMILY who yesterday pre-
sented the spectacle of Il United States
senator, not moved 10y participation in
debate nor personal utterance against
him, with iiercely glaring eye-balls and
clenched fist: restrainel only from deeds
of violence by a senator at each coat
tail, and a colleague on each arm.

THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL IA. 1881.
Reform In Munlcfpal 6svernment.

Reform In Municipal Government.
There has been a remarkable series of
Democratic victories and Republican
reverses in recently occurring municipal
elections. They have been confined to no
section nor to towns of any special class.
Beginning in Philadelphia the tidal
wave rolled over Cincinnati and Chicago
and has swept back through New Jersey
and New York. 1t may be that these
results have a general significance
and represent public dissatisfaction
at the course of the Republicans
in Washington in wasting the time of
the Senate and abusing the call for an
executive session, in the vain effort to
perpetuate the party Of reputation in a
proud commonwealth. 1t may he that
these discomlitures of the opposition are
the natural and usual reaction after a
presidential campaign. 1t is more likely
and it is more gratifying to be-
lieve that the people of munich
pilities are awaking to proper
S1pplICdCIUll VI tUuoCS OIACtl lOCAl SOS0
ernment, and are calling those who are
responsible, for them to a stricter ac-
countability. This matter of city gov
ernment we have held to he matter Of
business rather than Of politics, and this
is the logical conclusion of the car
dinaI Democratic pulIcy Of local
self government. Twenty-Five years
of Republican national supremacy
have largely influenced it otherwise. The
centralizing influences of that party
have led it to govern cities from state
capitals, as far as possible, and to abuse
local opportunities for state and national
success. Moreover, the principles of
that party favor large and often waste
full expenditures, bOunties to favored in
dividuals, and the largest exercise of
governmental powers over against indi-
vidual rights. In the development of
such principles Republican city admins
trations have generally run toward a
system Of progress that involves heavy
debts and wasteful expenditures until
the tax payers have revolted and swept
the party out.
