rnE REGULATORS IN VIRGINIA.
New York SUM-

NEW York SUM-
It is only natur al that Malone and
his followers, after repudiating the hon
est debt of Virginia, contracted and ex-
pended for Improvements before the
war. should try to set aside every other
honorable obligation.
After the passage of the heidelberg
er act, which wiped out one-third of
the debt and deprived the remaining
portion of part of it's value, law
was passed directing the State Treas
urer and the First and Second Audit
ors to make a contract for engraving
the bonds thus authorized.
1t appears that Malone, on his own
account and in consideration of mate
rial aid given him last fall, had prom
Used this work to certain bank note
company. When the time came for
awarding the contract there was live
ly struggle between the company ia
vored by Malone and q rival establish
ment, which resulted in violent per-
sonal collision between the Treasurer
and the First Auditor, as advocates of
the opposing interests. Finally, the
rival company, much to the indigna-
ton of Malone, got the contract by the
votes of Dyson, Treasurer, and Kenely,
Second Auditor, against Allen, First
Auditor. Inquiry was made as to the
responsibility of the company, and the
report was satisfactory. The contract
was formally made in accordance with
law, and the work on the plates pro-
ceeded.
But Malone never relaxed his oppo-
sition to this legal contract, and never
ceased, in spite of its binding charac-
ter, to urge the substitution of his orig
inal job. He has now succeeded in an
nulling the agreement under false pre-
lenses. lie cares nothing for the addi-
tional cost imposed, or for the new dis
honor inflicted on the State.
It may be assumed that the coali-
ti0nists who broke faith with the pub
lie creditors by cutting off third of
the debt, will not hesitate, if they
should succeed in putting the Riddle
berger bonds on the market by finding
credulous buyers, to repudiate this debt
of their own creation hereafter. The
whole movement in Virginia has been
a gambling game in politics, with
marked cards in the sleeves of the
principals.
We warn capitalists and investors to
beware of this Heather Chinee and his
associates. Nothing is more probable
than that the tricksters who have twice
publicly cheated their creditors will
jump at the first chance to cheat again.
The Riddleberger bonds go to market
with the brand Of reputation stamped
upon them, and even tho engraved pa
per upon which the false promises are
issued will be tho witness and evidence
Of a broken contract.
No Administration can survive the
disgrace of an alliance with party
like this. President Arthur may yet
discover that he cannot afford to shout
der Malone and reputation.

TIE EGYPTIAN QUESTION.
New York SUM-

New York SUM-
Arab Pasha answered the English
story Of his taking refuge in mona
stery by calling great conference of
Egyptian leaders, NIohammedans and
Christians, who have proclaimed their
purpose to defend Egypt until the con-
clusion OF satisfactory peace or the
total humiliation of her forces. The
orators Mt this meeting appear to have
reused popular passion by charging the
English sailors with outraging the
Egyptian women of Alexandria. In
deciding to submit the judgment of the
conference to the Porte, Arab Pasha
adds another complication to the diff
culties that environ the Sultan, who is
reported to be irritated at England's
action, and unwilling to take her side.
Arabi Bey is not only troubling Eng
land and the Porte, but is keeping all
the Governments of Europe on the
alert, and, by bringing about the resig-
nation of the French Ministry, has
raised political crisis in France.
President Grevy is trying to form a
new Cabinet, but any Cabinet will find
of the rejection by the Chamber of
Deputies of the motion for a vote of
credit. This action OF the Chamber
has put a stop to the movements of the
French fleet and troops.
There are new complications every
day in the Egyptian question.

MORE CHALLENGES.

When we started a challenge column
last week, we had no idea that we
should shake up the entire country in
to sudden spasm of defiant pugnacity;
but it seems that we have done so.
Since last week this Office has been
fairly stortned with challenges. Most
of these have come by mail, and our
porter has been kept busy sweeping up
the remains of the WORKOUT nail-car-
riers who have gone to pieces at our
threshold. But a few of those desir-
GUS of asserting their superiority to
others in their own line brought their
challenges themselves, and when the
Wild Men of Borneo and the Man. Ac-
Gordon turned up, we had to put out

FINE HORSES.
Eight Trotters From Gov. stnnford's
Farm En- Route to New York.

A yellow c. P. car, prominently let
tered "Palo Alto" and attached to Nc.
4 yesterday, attracted considerable at.
tention from the depot crowd, an atten-
ton which was largely increased when
several bales of hay which had been
brought down by a drayman were taken
in through one of the open doors,
through which the heads ard intelli-
gent eyes of several fine horses could be
seen.
The ''Palo Alto" is the private tray-
cling stables Of ex-Gov. Stanford, of
California, and the car Is named after
his extensive ranch In the Golden
State, upon which he has numerous fine
and promising thoroughbred horses.
The a on this trip is occupied by
eight beautiful animals en- route to
New York. Two of these have records
which are decidedly good. "Wild Flow
err" a 3-year old, has a record of 2:21.

The "Pslo Alto" is fitted with eight
stables running lengthwise of the car
four in the center section and two a
either end. 1t is fitted with all con
veniences necessary to make the rail
road journey as comfortable for thes'
high-strung animals rs possible. Sew
erai attendants also occupy the car
which is kept as clean and neat as ma.
be, and the t~rotters in their well-kep
glossy coats looked scarcely any tn
worse for their long ride.
