WHAT do those honorable Nirginians think
of themselves now who threw away their
votes on the petty tyrant Malone and his
creatures, in the hope OF building up u
"party " that would get them a share of the
loaves and fishes After selling one's birth
right for mess of pottage, it is rather hard
to lose the pottage too. Malone has proved
a load so heavy as to break the back Of the
Administration in all the Northern and
Western States, and the signs are that the
little vestige Of ill-gotten power he still re-
tains will be utterly gone at the end of two
years. Nothing but his infamy will then
remain to rescue him from oblivion.

TIE most cheering thing about the upris-
ing of Tuesday is the rebuke the people
have given to the improper use of money in
elections, and the evidence it affords that
an aroused public opinion is more powerful
than money. Such moral awakening as
we have just seen with astonshment is an
augury of hope for the Republic. Hub
BELLS atrocious attempt to corrupt the fran
chise by eXtorting money from helpless
public servants, in direct defiance of the
spirit if not of the letter of the law, has only
proved destructive to his own party. Let
this be a lesson to politicians of both parties.

WASHINGTON is profoundly glad that the
elections are over, that all her residents have
returned TO their homes, albeit with tempo
rarily depleted pocket books, that the vam-
pire office on Thirteenth street has stopped
sucking money out ofthis community tolavish
through the country, and that public officials
are coming back to the duties for which they
are paid, instead of putting in their time on
the stump and in liking things" Wash
ington has all thedisadvantages with none of
the gains of election-time.

Ir HAS been the prediction of the
Bourbons that the Readjuster Board of
Visitors of the University would dis
place NIL its Professors and destroy that
great light Of the Commonwealth. The
new Board has met, acted and adjourned
and now In n spite Of Bourbon pollteness
the Lynchburg Virgintdn says these
blooded professors, each branded L. il.
D., were spared simply because there
was no Readjuster material competent
to supply their places. This remark Is
under the circumstances In very fine
taste, but perhaps the Viiginian has slip
ped up, for IL inadvertently makes the
admission that the Readjuster Board had
too much patriotic devotion to the Uni
University to put incompetent men In Its
chairs. Would n Bourbon Board have
been actuOted by n purpose eNqually
loftyP
The Readjuster party has found ma
terlal for Senators and Supreme Judges

marty, who are just now scampering
away with their paunchos, jaws and
hands full.
