Virginia's Debt.

The Chicago Tribune thinks the nat
ural and logical consequences of the Re
publican party's endorsement of repud1-
alton in Virginia to be an expression OF
insolence when pointed out by Demo
crat The press in Virginia supporting
the debt-paying Democratic ticket, say
that the people of the State, if compelled
to bear the dishonorable stigma of re-
pudiation, through the instrumentality
of the Republican party, will no longer
entertain the same feelings regarding the
sanctity of the National debt. For this
utterance, the Tribune becomes very de-
mandatory of the South and the Demo
cratic party, and declares such express
sions are empty, in view of the fact that
the Democratic party has always been
the party of reputation. If it were ever
SO, which we deny, the Republican party
has usurped the Democratic privilege by
its support Of Malone, in Virginia, and
alliance with the Greenbackers in Missis-
sippi and throughout the South. To be
sure, States having a Democratic ma
jority in times past, have repudiated
their debts, and SO have States over
whelmingly Republican done the same
thing; but the issue was only a local
one, and fought out in measure ire
spective of party predictions. To-day
the contest is different; the National
Republican party and the Administra-
ton have become sponsors for repudia.
ton, and made the question National
issue. What then is the logical conse.
quence, but that the endorsement of re-
pudiation by the Administration will
have the effect to popularize it? If the
faith in the integrity of State debt be
discountenanced aud discouraged by the
Administration, what SO natural as that
the faith in National obligations will also
be impaired ?-Kansas City Times.

The Republican Scare.

It takes very little to frighten the Re
publican party, and the smallest kind OF
8 fright lasts long time. That is why
it has not got over the alarm started last
winter by the rumoi that the Texssspeo-
pie were talking about Lifting that State
into five parts, which of course meant
that they would send ten Democratic
Senators to Washington, instead of two.
There is not particle OF basis for the
alarm, for the thing was not thought Of
in Texas; but Republican papers In the
North continue to discuss it with great
seriousness and gravity, notwithstand-
ing. The thing that worries them is
that Texas reserved the right to indulge
in this cutting process whenever SO in
clined. when it came into the Union,
and the act of admission passed by Con-
gress comedies the reserved right. This
means that the Republican party has no
veto power in the case Of Texas, which
may become Ave States by the voluntary
act of its people and without asking Con-
gressional consent. The Chicago TIT
bune admits all this and then continues:
"But practically il would be necessary
also to have the division of that territory
into new States sanctioned by Congress.
The authority of the central government
might be put In the form of recognition,
| but it would be essential for the compile
ton of the State government that the
Senators and Congressman elected should
be admitted to the National Congress,
and thus the whole question could be
brought up." Ss.i -
We doubt not that Republican Con-
gress would thus override the solemn
| compact made with the sovereign COM
monwealth OF Texas, when it was an in
dependent nation. Laws and pledges
mean nothing to the Republican party
when they endanger its power-St
| Louis Republican.

The Council of Ten.

The famous Council of Ten has long
been the subject of the gravest histori-
cal discussion, and, as some writer's sug-
gest, its true history is probably un-
written. The view generally adopted is
that here given. The Council of Ten
was established about the middle of the
fourteenth century, at a time when Ven
ice was greatly disturbed. After while
there were selected from the Ten three
inquisitors, In whom all the powers OF
the State were vested, and who formed
Court whose proceedings have been 80
often called in question by historians.
Their rigid despotism, says one writer,
had the effect of giving stern unity of
purpose to the proceedings OF Govern
ment, and doubtless contributed in some
degree to consolidate the various access
sions of territory which had been made
into one whole. The Council is said to
have been, at first, at least, more terri
BILE to the nobility than to the COM
moners, doubtless from the fact that tho
conspiracies which were then frequent
were creations of that class, and the
best authorities generally hold the opin-
ion that the Ten preserved the external
dignity and Independence of the Repub-
Lie better than their predecessors. A
notable fact is that the height of the
prosperity of Venice was reached about
that time, and when their despotism
passed away, with it departed the great
ness of the city of the waters.

Healthy Women.

A writer, in urging the necessity for
more attention to physical culture, notes
as a favorable sign the fact that the pale
and interesting type of female beauty is
fast losing its popularity, and that men
of position and influence are declaring
for the healthy standard Of womanly
beauty, such as was ever recognized by,
Greece and Rome.
This is certainly an important and
happy change in public taste, and al
ready the effects of it are to be de-
tected in an improved condition of
feminine health, for it will hardly be
denied that on an average the women of
to-day are physically superior to what
they were a few years ago, when tight
lacing and similar destroying customs
prevailed. 1 30
Young women take more exercise than
they formerly did. They ride and walk
more, and are more in the open air.
They have not the insane dread of the
suns rays which they once had. But
there is much room for improvement
yet. Many homes are still presided
over by invalid wives and mothers, who
furnish constant spectacle of sadness
and misery to their families and friends,
and are subject of unlimited expense
to their husbands. In such homes the
greatest blessing that could be wished
for would be the health of the mistress
restored, but too often it is the one bless
ing which never comes.
American homes, more than any others,
perhaps, in the world, are saddened by
sickly women. If this shall be 80 no
longer, it will be great blessing to the
nation. And the remedy is simple.
American men are as healthy as men of
other nations there is no good reason
why American women should not be.
All that is needed is proper attention to
dress and exercise.
Let women dress, as men do, SO that
their bodies shall not be squeezed and
pressed together, but have free room for
motion, and let them go out into the air
and sunshine as men do, and exercise
their bodies, and the race of American
women will not become extinct, as it is
threatened to do. On the contrary, it
will be improved, built up, and beauti-
fed, and the time will shortly come when
the healthy man will not have to hunt
the country over for q healthy wife.
We are on the right track now; all
that is needed is to go ahead-and the
result will be manifest. Women will die
to be in fashion; therefore, let the
fashion of female beauty be vigor and
strength, and all the ladies in the land
will be swinging dumb bells, practicing
archery, riding on horseback, and walk.
ing for wager, but they will be in the
style.-Bostor, Traveller.

silence as the locomotive with its three coaches
came to Q gradual stand still at the switch
DIR. Bliss and General Swain stood at the door
Of the Presidents cGr, and there was that in
their faces which dispelled alarm and gave the
people hope. 1t was necessary at this point to
change the locomotives. .-e. - -f
1t was delicate job to couple q locomotive
to car without jarrng 1t but, the engineer did
it 80 skillfully that the two bodies did not come
together at all, and only the dropping of the
coupling pin announced its completion. 60
1t was necessary to draw the train down The
track hundred yards. The switch was turned
slowly, the valve was opened, and the drivers
turned as gently as the wheels of o lady's
watch. There was not . jar as the cars moved
down the line, and once more were stopped un-
til the switch was opened. This piece of new
laid track was mp and down steep grades, and
around the shortest imaginable curves from
one end to the other. The engine was behind
the cars, pushing them. The Presidents car
was between the other two comprising the
train. The entire line was crowded with peo-
pie, and large ambulance from the New York
Hospital kept pace with the train to render SER
vices in case Of accident.
Within fifty yards Of the Francklyn Cottage
the high top of the Presidents car struck the
telegraph wires and came to q stop. crowd
gathered quickly about the coach, and every
effort was made to catch Q glimpse Of the dis
tinguished sufferer. There was q short delay,
but no noise or confusion. The cars were soon
uncoupled, and the strong arms of willing and
sympathizing men, unaided by the engine,
pushed Mrs. Gar6eld's car past the cottage
While she and the ladies who accompanied her
were descending upon the greensward, many
more than enough volunteers brought the
Presidents car In position exnctIy before the
high porch that looked out upon tho. ocean.

The President was carried without trouble,

Mahone's Methods.

= Two or three years ago General Ma
hone was in favor of fixing the debt of
Virginia at $33, 900, 600 and paying it.
At that time he was denounced by the
Republican press as a repudlator.
Within the past two years Malone has
concluded to olknock off S13, 100000 and
pay 500, 600, ,000 Republicans who at
that time repudiated the payment of a
few millions now praise the "readjuster, I"
who. by shake of pen in party
platform, proposes to pay 500, ,000, 600 of
the State debt. And these are the same
Republicans who, only two years ago,
denounced the Democratic party for
entering into an alliance with the Green
hackers of Maine.
The Greenbackers never proposed re-
pudiation Malone does. @ IS -
And the $13, ZOO, 600 he proposes not
to pay rests rightfully on az solid foun-
dation of public honesty and State faith
as the remaining 10000 600 that he
and his are now pleased to say should be
paid. When will it please Mr.. Malone
and his Republican allies to strike off a
few more millions? Isn't it fair to sup
pose that if they find they can have the
support of the majority of the voters of
the State, backed by that of the domi-
nant party In most of the States of the
North, and the party now in control of
the Federal Government in this easy
method of disposing of SC large part
of their debt, that they will proceed by
the same method to pay the remainder !?
Is it not in fact only question be-
tween partial and complete repudia-
ton?

A kenc or tine Hayes, Aaminlsrrauon.

Captain Howgate is fugitive officer,
late in the employment of the United
States in its Signal Service Department
He has left the service and the country
at one and the same time, In company
with woman not his wife, and has
abandoned his wife and family, leaving
them in utter desttution. He has stolen
from the United States Treasury $780,
600, and left his bondsmen $40, 600 short.
1t now appears as wonderful thing, OF
course, that he could have stolen 80 much
money without being detected. Tue
authorities stand with eyes aghast, as II
it were something marvellous that a man
who was his own disburser and auditor
could have taken so much money with
out exposure, though the most ordinary
and dunderheaded thief In the world.
who had no checks upon him, could
have accomplished the same feat Just as
easily and skillfully as Captain Howgate.
So the furtive Captain took half q mil
lion dollars, and might have taken more
had he been SO disposed or had there
been any more to take. Having taken
the money, he proceeded to dispose of
it by setting up an elegant establishment
for mistress in Washington, where he
spent his time, to the neglect Of his wife
and children, who were left to shift for
themselves as they best could. He made
no concealment Of his shame, nor did
| the mistress npon whom he was lavish
| ing the stolen money, nor did he think
it unmanly nor she unwomanly to taunt
the wife and insult her by denying all
her claims upon, her husband and his
support. At last, after long and bril-
liant career in money-spending, after
outshining any of the Washington Null
berry Hawkes., after finging money
about in the most reckless manner, it
occurred possibly to some sage person to
suspect, since the Signal Service Depart
ment was not mint, that something
was wrong. Then the authorities began
to unwind red tape, but before the tape
was unwound, behold the bird had flown,
and the mistress had flown with him,
and all his property that he could con-
vert into cash had flown also, and his
bondsmen were left to whistle for their
security He leaves behind him a wife
and children in utter destitution, who
will be objects of sympathy, except in
the fact that In the loss of Captain How
gate they, have lost a. deprayed and
worthless scoundrel, who had dishonored
the service, dishonored himself, and
sought to dishonor them.

/, senator Lamar.

Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, is one
of the strong men of the South.
Thoughtful, studious, logical, informed,
he never speaks in the Senate without
commanding and rewarding the atten-
ton of his audience. Simple in style,
impressive in manner, direct III methods,
he handles every subject ably, and con-
tributes to its elucidation. He speaks
seldom, but no man is better informed
as to all business before the Senate, OF
gives to every pending subject of legis-
lation a more intelligent consideration.
The reserve of his manners and infre-
frequency of his speech indicate no in
attention to all matters of cur .ent legis-
lation.
Mr.. Lamar has been leader of lib
eral opinion at the South since the war.
His thoughts and energies have been
directed to bringing the sections more
closely together. He has sought by
eliminating misjndgments of each other,
to bring the people of both sections in
truly fraternal relations, He has .slet
the dead past bury its dead" He has
appreciated the present. He has looked
to the future, and this always in right
manly fashion. He has made no apolo-
gies or lamentations for the part he and
his friends took in the late war but he
has recognized its results, and has acted
and advised accordingly.
Mr.. Lamar stands to-day, in the opin-
ion of the North, as the best representa-
tive of the liberal, progressive, active,
public sentiment of the South. BY all
parties he is recognized as true, trusted,
| able Democrat but one who looks for
| ward, and not backward.
Mississippi the country can not afford
to lose from the public councils. He
has the power to be more useful to the
South, to the country, than any man in
Mississippi. His reelection to the Sem
ate will give profound satisfaction to the
Democrats of the North and West. 1t
will aid them to rescue the United States
from the Stalwart Republicans. It is
the thing which the partisan Republicans
will most hate.-Cincinrat Enquirer.

WHAT delightful time we should en-
Joy in this country if the Republican
party could have its way in national
finances Decentralization Of silver and
substitution of national bank notes for
greenbacks would give the banks cir
culation of more than seven hundred
millions. Since there are outstanding
to-day only about twice as many bonds
as the banks would need with such Cit
culation, we should fast drift towards
trouble if we kept on paying of the
national debt at the rate of hundred
millions a year. 1t is not to be over
looked, however, that the scheme to
substitute national bank notes for green
backs is doubie-acting device. There
would be no way of accomplishing the
substitution but by paying off the green
backs, and that would take all the sur
plus revenue for three or four years, 80
that it would arrest the reduction OF tho
interest bearing debt during that period.
This would postpone just that long the
evil day when there would be lack OF
bonds to float the bank circulation.-&
