THURSDAY EVENING, MAY %, 1882.

SENATOR MITCHELL, in his speech at the
Pennsylvania halfbrecd republican conven-
ton yesterday said he trusted the atmos-
phere of his State would be too pure to be
breathed by any republican willing to be
the slave, political or otherwise, Of any man."
That's how Il Pennsylvania anti-administra-
ton republican talks How he acts can be
seen by reference to the Congressional
Record, in which it is printed that on every
question in which is involved the political
slavery Of Virginia republicans Mr.. Mitchell
invariably votes aye, and that, too, when
their master until recently was an ultra and
proscriptive democrat, who voted for Han
cock at the last Presidential election and is
believed to have secured the State for him
by producing some disaticction in the negro
ranks, and who even now is afraid to come
out like man and avow himsclfa republi-
can. Between the half-breeds and the stall
wart republicans there is little difference.
though il is hoped that the former may
develop unexpected strength, as in that
case the democrats will obtain control in
Pennsylvania and other Northern States,
and Il stimulus be impaired to the national
sentiment in that section of the country.

The WASHINGTON correspondent Of the

no more about Southern politics than they

The trouble with the correspondent referred
to is that what he says about the same sub

THE RECENT discovery of spurious gov
ernmcnt securities, and the fact that the
countericiters are suspected to be the same
parties who are employed by the bureau of
engraving and printing in the preparation
of genuine bonds and notes, naturally sug-
gest the idea, first conceived by the Malone
ties, of compelling every holder of such Sc
curitcs TO establish their gcnuincncss by Il
jury who, in order to be qualified, must
have had no previous knowledge of them
before he can have them redeemed or Use
them in payment of government dues. As
the Mahoncites wanted the principles of
reimbursement applied to the national as well
as To State debts, they will doubtless
like to have their coupon killer made ap-
plicablc tothe coupons of government bonds,
and us the Administration is exceedingly
partial to all recommendations from that
quarter there need be no trouble about the
adoption of both these ideas and the conse-
quent extension of the benefits. of Malone
