One of our solid, level-headed republican
farmers, who was heretofore inclined to the
readjusters on the State-debt question, was in
our Office Tuesday. Referring to the pro :
posed coalition in support of the readjuster
ticket, he remarked that it did not look right
that it had the appearance of trying to run the
Mississippi into the Ohio. He could not see
the reason of it, nor understand how it could
be done. He was opposed to such unnatural
experiment. and favored the Mississippi keep.

The prominent U. S. Senators, who know

reputation themselves, they substantially adj
wise the Republicans OF yirgipia to commit
themselves to the most fragrant reputation
that was ever proposed. We are satisfied if
they understood the facts of the case they
would scout the whole plot and scheme to

rection to what it is pow tending.

The experience Of the Democratic party
of Virginia within the past ten years ought
to teach them that honesty is the best poll
cy. After they had gotten power through
the influence of Republican administra-
ton and Republican votes, had they proven
faithful to the pledges then made, they
might have held the State for an indefinite
period. But so soon as they felt entrenched
in the control of the State, they proceeded
to repudiate the considerations, incorporated
into the laws and Constitution of the State,
by which they had been so favored. From
that time dated their trouble. The capitation
tax restriction on suffrage; the whipping
post and its DISTINGUISHING operation and
the petit larceny device to rob men of their
right Of the elective franchise, were simply
connections to fortifyI them in political
power. Those most guilty Of these wrongs
have turned States evidence against them.
Instead Of remaining steadfast in the de-
fence of the instruments of persecution and
prescription they had devised, they are now
turning them against their old associates
and co-conspirators against the rights Of
the people, and rending them in twain. 1t
is a verification of the old saying-''Be sure
your sins will find you out" In politics,
as in everything else. honesty is the best
policy, for dishonesty will bring its revenge
here and hereafter.
I Let the Democracy which meets in Con-
vention to-day, take the first steps to re-
deem its broken pledges. In their plat
form let them declare against the capitation
tax restriction, because it was the inten-
ton, as every intelligent man knows, of the
Constitution to confer unrestricted suffrage
upon the colored man. Let them declare
for the repeal of the whipping-post law be-
cause it is barbarism unsuited to the age
we live in, and stigma upon civilization.
Let the Democracy of Virginia, for the
sake Of the State, be brave enough to be
honest, and rise above the disreputable sub
terfuges to which it has resorted to attain po-
litical ends. Otherwise it is doomed be-
yOnd hope Of rescue.

The President,

The most encouraging reports have come
from the Presidents sick room since our
last issue. Each day has witnessed gradual
improvement, until now it is confidently be-
lieved by the attending physicians, the Presi-
dents family and the President himself that
the stages of imminent danger have passed.
He has partaken of strong food with relish,
has grown stronger, is cheerful, and disposed
to talk upon current topics. A sense of relief
prevails throughout the country because of
these assuring indications, and the hope is en-
couraged that short time will justify the
conclusion that the President is entirely out
of danger.
On the first inst. Prof. Graham Bell and his
assistant, Mr.. fainter, made experiments with
their electrical apparatus for the location Of
the ball on the Presidents body. With salts
factory precision the electric machine has
placed it in the front cell of the abdomen, i'm
mediately over the groin, about five inches to
the right of the navel.
Two tests were made, the first by Professor
Bell and the second by Mr. fainter, his assist
ant The telephone plate was passed over
the surface of the abdomen near the spot
where the slight discoloration of the skin was
thought to be observable few days after the
shooting and in the region in which the doc
tors supposed the ball lay. The presence of
the ball was indicated with exactness by both
tests. The physicians claim that this undeni-
ably establishes the correctness of their origi-
! nal theory as to the location of the ball. There
| is but q single drawback in this test, and that
is that they can't tell just how deeply imbedded
| in the body the ball is. It is known to be
within five inches, because that is the limit of
the indicator, and it is thought to be only two
and 9ne-half inches beneath the surface. Ac-
cording to the surgeons, however, it can make
very little difference whether it is two or five,
so that it is soundly imbedded and encysted.
As long as no inconvenience results from its
location, no attempt will be made to extract
the ball. There has been no intention at any
time to tamper With it. The only advantage
Immediately observed by its positive location
is the possibility which may arise Of an abscess.
which will require an immediate operation. In
such a case as this the doctors would know just
where to find it without loss of time or unnec-
essary danger. Such an abscess is said to be
still possible, but is not very probable. 1t is
one of the possibilities of the case which may
arise at any time till the ball is known to be
encysted and the wound is healed. A promi-
nent surgeon when asked Monday whether it
would be likely to cause any inconvenience
| Id cl~c
replied that it depends altogether upon the
character OF the muscles in which 1t was i'm
bedded.
