The Washington Republican says

The Washington Republican says
that:
''Judge Hughes was one of thirty
nine citizens who, in 1873, issued an ad.
d ress insisting that the State could pay
its debt of thirty millions, with six per
cent, interest. He says it met no res
ponse except denunciation toy all sides !;
and that now, since one of the signers
has left the State, he does not know of
but thirty-seven other men in Virginia
besides himself who maintain that POI
sition on the debt question"
The Judge maintains that position by
proposing to make common cause with
the Readjusters against the Debt-Pay-
ing Bourbons!
The Republican further says:
Judge Hughes is wise, patriotic
and sagacious man. His utterances
should have great weight among the
Republicans of Virginia and of the
whole country"
Yes, truly, because he was great Sc
cessionist in 1861, and thought it better
to divide the country, than submit to
the government of the Republican par
ty. But the Judge is "a wise, patriotic
and sagacious man" nevertheless

GROUNDS OF VENNOR's PREDICTIONS.
The grounds on which Vennor ven
lures his predictions are represented to
be as follows:-
First, on the principle of recurring
periods in the weather at irregular but
ascertainable intervals second from q
close study of charts for the winters for
past seasons embracing period of fifty
years; third, from upward of eighteen
years out of doors and camp life, and
original observations of the habits of
birds and animals; fourth, from impres.
sions intuitively formed and not des-
cribable.

A DISSEMINATING REPoRT.-The col.

DIR. TANNER BEATEN.-A SOW and
eight two days-old pigs disappeared
from the place of Mr.. J. B. Beverly, in
Fauquier county, Va, on the Goth day of
December last. The same day there was
very heavy snow, and since then I'M
til last Saturday nothing had been seen
of the sow or pigs. On Saturday the
rain melted the snow, and the animal
was found in q hole in a snow drift, in
an emaciated condition, but full of life.
It seems certain the SOW had been in the
hole since the Goth OF December. The
pigs were not found, but, giving the
mother credit for having devoured
them, Mr.. Beverly still thinks DR..
Tanner has been ingloriously defeated.

OPPOSED TO COOPERATION WITH
MAHoNE.-The New York Times is
displeased with the rumored fco-opera-
ton with Malone on the part of the re-
publicans in the organization of the
next Senate which is to be repaid in aid
''of his peculiar views in his own
State" The Times declares that ''such
bargain would be as improbable as it
would be discreditable to all concerned,
and it may be dismissed as one of the
stories in which correspondents indulge
not SO much for the enlightenment of
their readers, as for their own amuse-
ment."

FELoNIOUS AssAULT.-The Lynch

a negro boy named Joe Scott made a
violent assault upon Mr.. John Jenkins,
an aged citizen of the county. whom he
badly cut between the shoulders with
an axe. 1t seems that Scott was en-

which incensed him to the attack.

GEN. GARFIELD AND Mr.. LEWIS
One or the other of these gentlemen
must face the country on repudiation.-
If General Garfield is willing to assume
the responsibility of the Malone move
ment, and to advise eighty thousand
Republicans in Virginia to join the Ma.
hone party, carry the Riddleberger:bill,
become responsible for the reputation
of the State debt, in direct opposition to
the Democratic party, we have no OBJ
lection to make. What we want is, that
the two National parties shall take their
position in this matter, SO that we shall
know and the country understand,
where each stands on the debt question.
If the Republican party, under any cir
cumstances, favOrs the impairing of the
obligation of contracts-the settlement
of public debts without the consent of
the creditor, the evasion of, or resistance
to the doctrines and decisions of the
United States Supreme Court, let the
country know it, and if defeated, we
shall cheerfully abide the result. We
only desire to fix that matter on a re-
sponsible party, real party, party
that will be able to assume the RESPONSE
bility, and relieve Virginia-not mere
Virginia faction, gathered from all par
ties, and without national responsible
ity. We repeat. we want the position
of parties settled. The Democrats are
against reputation or forcible readjust
ment. and are willing to abide the judg-
ment of the Courts-State and Federal.
We know where the Malone party
stands; where stands the Republican
party? Settle this question definitely,
and we will then snow the world q
square fight. Hon John F. Lewis visit
to Mentor. and his reported interview
with General Garfield, makes it neces-
sary that there should be a showing of
