A Nice Son.

A New York woman named Ward had
accumulated s5iO. She lay upon her death-bed,
and requested her son, q young man of twenty
two to take the money and deposit 1t in a savings
bank. He took the money but advised against its
deposit in a bank, and his mother then urged him
to tic 1t in some way about her body, so that 1t
might be found there after her death. The son
pretended to do so, but went OFF with the money
On sunday evening he was arrested, All the
money except S5l was gone. The mother is not
yet dead, and has requested that the unnatural
conduct Of her son be punished to the full extent

OS Monday both speakers were in good trim,
and the debate between Daniel and Cameron here
marks new era in political discussion before our
people as distinguished from the diatribes to which
we have been generally accustomed. Werecord this
with pleasure We wish TO see discussions be.
tween our public men upon a higher plane than
has been noticeable in the past Colonel Cameron
made fine speeches on Monday, and gave some
very strong thrusts; in fact, he made better
speech than any other man of his party capable
of making. -HarrisoHbuig Commonwealth.
This from n Bourbon of the Bourbons
What a confession it involves of the
healthy liberalization which the Liberal
movement in Virginia promises to
achieve for Virginia and the whole South
While public speakers set the example of
high and dignifed discussion of public
questions, the masses soon catch the spirit
Of their leaders, and the great end of pub
lie discussion-popular enlightenment-is
achieved. The confession made by the
Co9monweaM can give only pleasure to
Il patriotic and the fair-minded of all
parties. 10 the Northern mind it will
occur as no small argument in favor of
the Malone movement that one of its
earliest fruits is the beginning of a new
era in political discussion in the South
an era in which the, reason of the
South is to be addressed and not its
passions excited and its heart fired"
with hate and prescription for mere
opinions sake.

Vjce-President Arthur,

In dispatch from its New York correspondent
under date OF August lG the Cincinnati CONNER
cidi contained the following:
The scene ut Vice President Arhur's house to-
night is described by eyewitness as something
remarkable.
II was at one time fairly crowded with visitors.
Most Of them seemed to be Ill an entirely cheerful
frame OF mind.
II appeared more like political reception than
n company OF citizens who wcro awaiting news of
the Presidents condition. Laughter was audible
Among those present at the house during the
day ana evening were General Grant, ex-senator
Conkling, Senator Logan Senator Jones, and
Others.
This is very unfortunate time of the year to be
twisting and cOloring every trivial occurrence to
the discredit of Mr. Arthur. lie has acted in the
most singular good tlstc, and, II he Is to be held
personally responsible for the facial expression
of his callers and the precise tones Of their voices
he may as well drop all hope of creating good i'm
preston among his cOuntrymen. This is very
childish and small business for paper like the
Commercial to be engaged in. twill get no sympa-
thy from Stalwarts, Half Breeds Democrats, or
anybody else.--CfHic
The Vice-President resides on Lexing-
ton avenue, in the city of New York. 1t
appears that sundry Bohemian loafers
stand about the entrance to his house
and make note Of the friendly calls he
receives. When half-dozen or so have
called, these rag-pickers.makc up lying
dispatch to some vile paper, stating that
conference has been held on the sub
ject of General Arthur's relations to
the Government. Now, what would
be said if gang of such creatures
were to dog the movements of Secretary
Blaine, or any other public dignitary
other than the Vice-President, and,
when some near friends dined with him,
or called on him, should telegraph all
over the world that aGonierence had been
held to devise ways and means for max
ing the most profitable use of the Presi-
dents condition and plan for administer
ing upon his estate in the event of his
death? Would it not be infamous ?
May not the Vice-President receive few
friends without being held up by malig-
nant newspapers as holding sinister con-
ferences? The wretched drivel of such
papers as the Cincinnati Commercial is q
severe test of the public stomach.
