Best Policy for Virginia Republicans.

In Virginia the Republican party has
not been able to make a contest against the Dem
ocratic party to protect Republican voters from
violence, Intimidation, and fraud, nor from op-
pressiYe Legislation, designed to disfTanchise. A
party which is not able TO make political contest
may deserve praise for its virtue and pity for its
persecution but it is not adequate to practical af-
fairs. Senator Malone and they who act with
him have been able to make contest against nc
Democratic party. They have shown their resolve
and ability to protect voters. They have declared
their purpose to repeal the DISTINGUISHING laws
Which would be most rational for the Virginia
Republicans, to keep themselves separate and i'm
potent as before, and have to themselves the ma
ti0nal offices, or to form a union that will carry
the State, and let the national offices go with it?
Which would be the most rational for the admin
tstraton and best for the Republican party of the
Nation? The protests that come to Washington
from Virginia against any combination with the
Malone party need to be scrutinized to find
whether they represent party organization capa-
bic of self-defcnse at home, and able to make a
contest as party. If not it is the duty of the adj
mnstratiOn to inquire whether it cannot reinforce
this party to lift it out of its impotence-Cn

SAFE IN THEIR KEEPING.

They become the flag. Their dignity and manly
bearing lend it an added grace wherever on the
globe duty requires them to carry it. Their devo-
ton to it is never chilled or abated by any private
grievance; by any sense of personal injustice how
ever Notifying or singing; by any accession of
the suIlen, direful wrath which gave mankind the
earliest perhaps the greatest poem. Abroad they
maintain the national character without assertion
Or compromise. Every representative of the Gov
crnment is consciously strengthened by their pres
ence and introduces them with pride as his coun-
trymen. I have said these things because know
they true, and because it has givenme pleasure
10 bear testimony to them at a time which gains
for our words hearing. The people of the United
States Will surely eat their daily bread more thank
fully and in greater security to believe that the
same service which in day of sorest need gave
US Farragut, will also furnish champion for every
foe within our coasts or on the high seas

The Star Route Thieves.

Tho Indictment against the Star Route
thieves was quashed by Judge Cox, in Wash
ington, on the 10th instant, and the thieves
have scored their first victory. Judge Cox,
in rendering his docsion discussed princi {.
'oipally the question rs to the infnmy OF the
~crime charged. The conclusion arrived at
was that crime was infamous and that the &C
oused should have bcon proceeded against by
indictment. lie therefore sustained tho mo-
tion erasing the information from the files of
the court, and ordered the discharge Of the
defendants. 1t is said that other inlictme n 8
will be brought against the Star Route men,
but VIC rather suspect that this is the last Of
it. They stole three millions from the Gov
ernment and arc stalwart Republicans, in
high official positions. If they had been OBJ
scure people and had only stole few dollars,
they would have been promptly trie |, convict
ed and consigned to the Peuitentiary. The
moral is: If you desire to escape punishment
proclaim yourself stalwArt Republican and
stea millions from the Government.
