A New departure Suggested.

Editors of the Dispatch: The sentiment
OF the Democratic party in this portion Of
the State, a far as have been able TO learn,
Is that the course OF General Malone and
bis followers IN going over TO the Republi-
can party necesSitates the adoption OF a new
system of tactics on the part Of the Demo-
cratic party Of Virginia in our fall elections.
The debt question is as nothing when it
comes to be weighed In tue balance with
negro rule. The negroes, under the leader
ship of many of the regulators who have
siumped this district, would be far more
dangerous and Objectionable than under
their ancient carpet-bsg allies. Many OF
them, broken down in purse and in charac-
ter, and with their socialstic aud inflamma.
tory appeals TO the ignorant aud credulOus,
make war on everything decent and respect
able, calling 1t Bo0rbonism. Better never
pay dollar OF the debt than Virginia should
groan under the terrible crimes and wrongs
that once disgraced South Carolina and
Louisiana.
bave no respect for man who does not
pay his debts, and that class OF men. as far
as my knowledge goes, as naturally CRAWL
tate 10 that party as does stone TO the bot
tom OF river. II they do a mean thing
they fee to ii, as did the ancients who COM
mitted crime to the temple, because the
sanctity OF the gods protected aud pre-
served them. Far from me TO say that
there are no honest nor good men In the
party.
The first duty OF citizen Is the preser-
walton Of the life OF the Commonwealth,
ana the time Is coming when we shall be
called upon to perform that solemn duty.
we cannot consent that the State Of Vir-
ginia. Ia this enlightened age. with the Iiv-

A Suggestive Question

In the United States Senate on Wednes-
day Mr.. BURNSIDE inquired what would be
the action OF the Democrats IN case the Vice.
President should notify the Senate that be
was going to New York for tor;y'egbt
hours? Several Democrats replied, "Let
him TO-" Mr.. BURNSIDE then asked what
the Democrats would do If The Republicans
should bring in resolution for the election
of a temporary president OF The Senate /:
and Mr.. COCKRELL replied. "Wc Will meet
that question when II comes"
Now, it will at once occur to the reader
tina, The Vice. President has no right to vote
in az election for temporary President of
the Senate. The Constitution settles that
question beyond doubt. II provides:
"lbe Senate shall choose a
President pro tempore in the absence Of the
Vlce.Pr, sident or when he shall exercise
the Office OF President OF the United States"
Ii being clear, then. that the Vice.Presi'
dent has no right to vote in the case under
consideration, it is also settled that as long
as DAVID DAVIS shall vote with the Demo-
Gratis, the Republicans can show no moi0rity
in the Senate (eyen il the Democrats allow
vote TO be taken) upon The election OF Pre-.
sident pro tempore. There ought TO be no
danger, then, Of the election OF Senator
ANTHONY to be President pro tenn.
The Constitution is silent as to the right
OF the Vice. President to vote in seating sem
ators aud electing officers. But lis Ian
guagc is such that it precludes the idea that
he always has the power to break up tie,
since he cannot do it in electing an officer
TO take his seat in his absence. Mr.. Nor
GAN, OF Alabama, one OF the best lawyers
in the Senate. denies the right of the Vice.
President TO vote in the election Of officers.
The Constitution denies his tight to vote
for one oIhcer-a President pro tempOre
1t nowhere in terms gives him the right 10
vote for even one officer. Ergo, the weight
Of the argument is against his right to vote
In eecling officers or seating senators. This
latter we do not believe he viii ever be AL.
lowed to do. The former be will not be al
lowed to do at the present session of the
Senate.

sectional Issues.


Sectional Issues.
The cry Is raised that The South pas every
thing 10 l,se and nothing 70 gain by see
,,anal contest with the North. Nobody
viii DENY that proposition. But there II
notbing IN the present condition Of parties
10 hastily the statement Of such PROPOSE
tion.- II poslulates a state Of. things thai
does no, exist. II assumes that the primer
pics OF the Democratic party are sectioha',
or, IL II is preferred TO phrase II otherwise,
that the Democratic party Is sec'ionS
party.
According 10 the Tribune Almanac the
ponnlar vote in 1880 for President OF 'he
limited States was as follows: eor YAK
rIsIp. 4. 4J0. 92l; for HANCOCK, 4,44h SSS-
plnraluy OF GARrIsLD over HANCOCK, 3,OSS.
II il plain from these figures that the Dem
ocraiic party Is 10 large majority IN the
5 United States; for GARfiELD's plurality
over HANCOCK was not one twentieth the
number OF the Federal officials who voted
for GAgrIkLD. GARFIELD is thus to oil IN
tents and purposes minority President.
He holds his Office by virtue Of majority
made up OF men who had places under the
Federal Government when they voted for
him.
The facts are set more strongly in favor
OF tue Democratic party. But for the thou
sands OF deputy marsbals Stationed at Inc
voling.places last November for the purpose
of securing and insurng the election OF the
Republican candidates, the Democrats
would now have the President OF the United
States and the House OF Representatives.
IL was not by allowing full and free vote
and a fair count that the Republicans Sc
cured even one majority in the House OF
Representatives over The Democrats and
Greenbickers. 1t was by the use Of deputy
marshal, appointed under law which was
on the statUte-books only because Repub'
lican President, seated BY fraud. vetoed a
bin for its repeal which had been passed by
the representatives OF the people.

SECTI0YALlSM DEAD.-The World quotes
the Utica N. " Herald, Republican pa
per, as follows:
"The senators have found nothing to talk
about except the aspects OF sectiOnalism
and not even their simulated fury can blind
the eyes OF the people 10 the fact that the
sectional issue has com plctely lost it, power
As reason for the espOussl OF one or the
other party organizations"
That seems TO us TO be one truth which
the extra session OF the Senate has brought
to light-namely, that hereafter sectional
considerations viii have little or 10 weight
in either end OF the Union. We IN the
South can look at HOAR'S stimulated fury y
as compOsedly as the northern man can
