HERE'S the waya Richmond correspondent
describes the behavior of the Scnator-elect
from Virginia in the Senate Of his own
State:
'Thc readjusters i'll the Senate did not
appear to be in Il good humOr this morning.
Mr.. Riddlcbcrgcr, the leader OH that side.
came in some time after that body was called
to order, walked up to his seat and slammed
his big SLOUGH hat down upon his desk with
apparent i'll humor.'
IT, as Smolet thought, acquired manners
are never reliable under excitement, repeii-
tons of such evidences of the bad humor of
Eirginia's new Senator may not be uncx-
pected when he takes the seat he has select
ed on the republican side of the Senate, and
although there has been noticcaby sad
deterioration in the dignity and decorum Of
that side. such behavior will be more shock
ing to the ideas of Mcssrs Morrill, and An
thony than any of the plantation manners
of which they have complained 50 much in
times long gone.

1T is difficult to admire sufficiently the
wisdom of our Constitution. which admits
only one legislature in two years.
Sufficient admiration for such 4 constitl-
ton would not be quite so difficult if Mary
land had readjustcr governor. The Con-
stitution of Virginia also admits of only one
session of the legislature in two years, but
under readjuSter rule the States treasury is
already being depleted by the expenses of
two sessions in one wear.

IHE RICHMOND organ of the readjustcrs
wants to know whether the body now sitting
in the Capitol at Richmond is Il legislature
or Il lobby. As the readjusters have IL ma
Jority in it and control its actions it is a
lobby, Of course, and why the organ should
be III doubt about it when that majority has
provided for many of its members and is
trying to make places for more of them. and
when its object has been and is to profit

The Presidents Veto.

SAN Francisco. CAL, April 5.-The Alta
California comments bitterly OH the action
of the President in vetoing the Chinese Bill
and says "The veto appals every republic
an in the state, and proves that the Presi-
dent is The slave and not the master of the
eastern bigots and scared New York mer-
chants.
THE veto means the loss to the republican
party Of California, Nevadc. Oregon. Daka-
to, Arizona, Utah and Wyoming and the
decentralization of theparty west ofthe Rocky
mountains.
The Call says: THE veto is perhaps the
most arbitrary act an American President

INNOCENT MEN when accused of crimes
demand the fullest investigation, and will
not rest satisfied until their innocence has
been thoroughly established. The parties
implicated in the star-route swindlcs on the
contrary base their chief hope of acquittal
upon technical legal bubble. The fact
that they have such a hope is a sufficient
reason ofitself for the adoption of the new
code for the District of Columbia, but the
influence the lobbyists have upon the mem
bers of Congress is so great that the latter
are prevented from attending to any bust
ness other than that connected with the
furtherancc of the formers numerous
schemes for protitng themselves at the ex-
pense Of the public treasury.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. I3.-J. H. Mclean
republican candidate for congress in
the eighth district, was to- day granted
certificate of election for both the
short and long terms. At the moment
the declaration of the result was made
the Board of Election was served with
a telegraphic notice of a mandarin,
issued by the Supreme Court, ordering
the board to count the votes embraced
in certain irregular returns. which being
counted, would elect James o. Broad.
head. the democratic candidate. The
Court holds it has right not only to
direct the Returning Board as to its
duty, but also to instruc, it in what its
duties are, and tn court declares the
boards functions are purely ministerial.
The affair has created great excitement
and a long and bitter contest is certain.
