VIRGINIA CONGRESSMAN.

| The New York Graphic has the following dis
patch from Washington "The so.callei Straight.
ont Republicans are preparing to bolt the coai-
tion in Virginia, and are being encouraged by the
Bourbons The two Republican Congressman are
| lending their assistance more or less conspicu-
ously, and the result will be that they will be
defeated for reelection according to present indi.
cations. The coalition leaders threaten TO have
colored men run in both Dezendorf and JoTgcn.
sons districts, which are largely Republican
through the colorcd vote. If this course Is adopted
it does not appear how they can either Of them be
elected even If nominated, General Malone has

Marshall, in allowing the State conven-
ton TO nominate him as Congressman
at-largc, and then, after its adjourn
ment, Withdrawing from the ticket is
not calculated to inspire the public with
any great amount of respect for his love
of fair play. He and everybody else that
knows anything of the usages of parties
knows that the State Central Committee
could have filed the vacancy occasioned
by his withdrawal. This manifestly in
cudes the power to ask the delegates Of
the last State Convention to namo cam

Mn, IIunRELL may tell us that these assessments
nTe not in the nature Of forced contributions but
he knows better, The omploye who declines to
respond become, q marked man at once. There
are II hundred hungry men IN tie corridor wait
ing for his place, only too ready to discount their
salaries at whatever rate Mr.. Hubbcl may dictate /;
and the hCsat!ng clerk or messenger or lnborcr,
or ioor.sweeror or watCr.boy within, whose
br al and butter depends upon his stipend, has
but one alternative. There Is no use IN attempt
ing to deny or disguise these iHcts. They exist In
Washing on, aud their qualifications extend all
over the country, leading to one common sewer OF
Corruption Washington Post.
Al of which is not only untrue, but is
no. even an eXaggeration of any facts
whatever. 1t is simply draft upon the
editors imagination and the readers
Credulity. No man has ever lost his place
because he did not contribute. No man
ever will. The POsra party may have ex-
torted money from its slaves when it was
in power, and the writer of the above
may Judge the Republican party by what
he knows Of Democratic practices but
we assure him that we have no thumb
screws, no blacklist, and no black looks
in our party for men who for any cause
decline TO contribute.

A Tricky Critic.

It is very funny to read long-winded
lie tiers, interviews, and addresses by the
Independent fellows up in Pennsylvania,
calling in question the regularity of the
movements Of the regular" machine.
Thomas Marshall is out with Il conslitu-
tional argument against the authority of
the recent Harrisburg convention to
reasonable and nominate a man in
his place, The boilers had no authority

HENRY WILSON.

Tread at the recent dinner OF the Massachusetts
Club In Boston, the seventeen anniversary of III
birthday Of the late Weep esident wilson,
The lowiest born Of all the land,
He wrung from Fate's reluctant hand
The gifts which happier boyhood claimsi
And tasting on thankless soil
The bitter bread of unpaid toll,
He fed his soul with noble aims
by the low hearthh fires fltiul blaze
He read OF old heroic days,
The sages thought, the patriots speech;
unhoped, alone himself he taught,
His school the craft at which he wrought,
His lore the book within his reach.
He felt his countrys need he knew
The work her children had to do;
And when ut last he heard the call
In her behalf TO serve and dare,
Beside the Senatorial chair,
He stood the unquestloned peer OF al.
Beyond tho accident ofblrth
He proved his simple manhood's WORTH
Ancestral pride and classic grace
Confessed the large-brained artisan,
so clear ofsght so wise In plan
And counsel, equal to his place,
with glance intutlve he saw
Through all disguise ofiorm and law,
Ana read men like an open books
Fearless and arm, he never qnallcd,
Nor turned aside for threats, nor failed
To do the thing he undertook,
How wise, how brave he was-how we'll
He bore himself let history tell.
While waves our flag DER land and sea,
No black thread In the warp or weit.
He found discovered states-he len

A good story is told of Professor L. NJ. Avery,
who has been travelling in the South. A short
time since he was on a crowded railway train
which was leaving New Orleans, and noticing an
old colored woman Who had been unable to get a
seat, arose for the pupose OF giving her his when
n stalwnrt southerner who was near Mt hand APP
proprlated the seat for his own use. The Profess
sor eyed him for moment and then unloosed the
dogs. When the Southern gentleman rcgained his
breath he was seated Oh the floor at the opposite
end OF the ear while the gaunt form of the Cleye-
land pedagogue stood over him and threatened
every manner of disa ter III all the living and q
majority of the dead languages. The colpred

THE circulation of THE WEEKLY Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN throughout the South
and Southwest has already reached an
issue far exceeding our most sanguino
anticipations.
It's present rapid increase of subscribers
is unprecedented in the history of Wash
ington journalism.
The dsintcgration Of the moss-back
Bourbon Democracy is in rapid progress
through the coalition of Republicans,
Readiusters, Grcenbackers, Independ-
ents, and Liberals who are combining
throughout that region under the banner
of the Administration and antiBourbon
party for the overthrow of the old Bour-
bon Democracy, and the regeneration of
the political and material interests of the
new South.
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has been no
unimportant factor in aiding to bring
about this most desirable result; and that
its efforts are appreciated is manifested
by the large lists of subscribers daily C.
ceived for its weekly edition.
In order to further promote the good
work of increasing and strengthening the
progressive anti-Bourbon organization
THE WEEKLY REPUBLICAN will be mailed
to new subscribers from July l to
December five Notwithstanding the
period of the campaign for election of
Congressman, for the sum of FIFTY CENTS
each subscriber.
This will enable our numerous friends
to aid in extending the circulation OF
this journal to a still greater extent and
we assure them that the energy and
vigor heretofore displayed by TIE RE-
PUBLICAN will be increased commensurate
with its larger field of operations.

AND now the New York Tribune is
hoarso with applauding United States
Senator on story that he has denounced
the Administration for not hurrying NJ
patronage for him. 1t is also yGarv much
shocked at allegcd suggestions by Cabinet
officers to this same Senator that he does
not entitle himself to the right to dictate
appointments by opposing the Presidents
nominations. The whole story seems
fishy, but since when was a President
bound to obey Senatorial dictation,"
and since when was it so meritorious in
a Senator TO oppose combinations? We
pause for the TriJune'S reply.

 A remarkable case of persistent attempt at train.wrecking, which was seemingly almost providentially prevented, at the risk of a true and gallant mans life, took place las, Tuesday night at midnight, on the Shore
 Line road, in Madison, at point about half. way between New Haven and Saybrook. A ! station agent, Charles J. Wade, who was walking home on the track, with small lantern to9 light his ateps, had his attention attracted by the sound of hammsring, ap. parently on. the track. An investigation discovered lot of iron rails and ties, which had just been spiked down across. the rails. He knew the mail train from New York for
 Boston was due, and instantly went to work to remove the obatructions, ,1n this he was unsuccessful, for the villains fired upon him from ambush, wounding him first in one leg, and at the next shot breaking his arm. Un- able to remove the Instructions, MT. Wade bravely took his lantern and went back on the track till he heard the coming train, when by waving hls light he succeeded in stop. ping the train He was taken aboard, while the train hands went to work and removed the ties and rails, A physician on the tram set the wounded mans arm, and tried to induce him to go on to Boston and receive every attention that gratitude and medical skill could bestew, but he refused, and was left standing on tho track. Here he soon found that the baf1ed rufiaAs were again at their dendish work, mailing down the ties to wreck the train from Boston for New York, then nearly due. MT. Wade heroioally rsr solved to save this train alBo at the risk of his life, and walked down the track. east. ward Fortunately without drawing the fire of the train-wreckers this time), up,il he saw the headlight of the coming tram. Then, by waving his lantern, he stopped that train also and saved the lives of the passengers. The Instructions were again removed, and the train went on to New York. The Con- solidated road will now, DO doubt, keep 6 watch along the Shore Line, for an indefinite time. The company should also handsomely reward Mir. Wade. .-7inses Later develop ments show that the above story is canard, and that Wade put the Instructions oD ths track himself and invented the story ID order to make hero of himself in the eyes of the credulous. Oh yes, he should be "hand. somely rewarded"

Speculation means primarily looking about" but in commeTcial sense it signifies the practice of buying without reference to value or market price, with the expectation of a rise above the purchasing price or of dis posal at rates equally outside of value or cur
 rent prices. There exists then a species of chance in speculation, that, while it may be legitimate, may se react on regular business practices as to produce fictitious value to all products that represent capital and labor and which make for the existence of man. If this reaction be constant then commodities that are for the support of lite should be above speculation. But speculation has in it
