The Present Issue.

There is presented to the voters of this
State, in the coming campaign, says the
Charlottesville Jetersoniam Republican,
an issue of paramount Importance, in
the presence of which all minor points
of difference should disappear as assur-
eddy and completely as the night van
ishes at the approach of the sun. The
real question is, shall our State he hande
ed over, bound and shackled, to the
Arthur Guiteau Radical wing of the
Republican party, or shall it remain UNI
der the control of the Democratic party
that has saved it from destruction !? This
is the question now soon to be determine
ed. The antithesis presented in this is
sue would not be quite SO striking, if it
was proposed by the Malone faction to
ally themselves with the moderate Re.
publicans. But Malone and his sub
jects, decorated with his collar, are at
tempting to turn our State over to our
unrelenting, bitterest foes, our persecu-
tors and slanderers, who have for more
than fifteen years perpetrated every act
of legislation that they dare undertake
in direct antagonism to our vital inter
ests to the Radical wing of that party,
who, not content with such legislation
as would be favorable to themselves and
detrimental to our State (which might
be excused upon the ground of self-in-
terest,) but have attempted to persecute,
degrade and humiliate US. We conf
IDENTIFY say that our people are not ready
to accept the edict that has gone out
from the self-constituted dictator Ma
hone, ordering them to the ultra radi-
calism represented by His Accidency.--
The issue that divided the Democratic
party is now out of politics and we are
brought to hand to hand fight again
with our old, determined and bitter en-
envy. We have no apologies to make to
our Readjuster friends for the stand we
took and the fight we made upon the
debt question; we believed we were
right. Neither do we ask any retraction
of them. The debt question was local
issue and never should have been drag
ged into national politics, as we have
always maintained. In this contest we
should not ask whether the party res
ceiving our sufferages or those exercis-
ing their rights of citizenship were Re-
adjusters or not. The simple question
now is, are you identified with the true
interests of our State, and willing to
fight radical republicanism and the one
man poWere Are you opposed to the
spoils system and licensing and encour-
aging corruption in every branch andde.
partment of the government? If you
are, then whether you were Readjus.
ter or not, we are ready to place our
shoulder to your shoulder in the solid
phalanx that will march forth in opposi-
ton to the Boss and the damnable meas.
ures and policy that he wishes to thrust
upon our State and people, for the sole
purpose of enthroning himself as the
great Boss and Dictator of Virginia.

Hon. John E. Massey.

A communication In the Richmond
Dispatch of Saturday in reference to the
candidacy OF Hon. J. E. Massey, as
Congressman at large, concludes as fol-
lows:-
"If I shall vote for Mr.. Massey under
the circumstances, my vote will not be
an approval of his readjustment views,
which are not involved in the canvass !;
nor will it be an endorsement of his po-
litical career, for feel at liberty to "for-
get those things which are behind :"
nor will 1t be as reward for anything
he has done in the past, for, like Alex
ander the coppersmitb, ''he has done US
much evil" shall accept him, if at
all, as an instrument for harmOnizing
the great party to which belong, which
has suffered sad divisions on local ques-
tiOns, and as weapon for the more eff
feotual destruction of boss rule, and all
that is lOathsOme which such rule in>
wolves. If Democrats, for the sake of
country and party, will make this con-
cession las believe they may do with
out any sacrifice of personal honor let
our State Committee simply recognize
the fact of Mr.. Massey's candidacy, with
the recommendation that he besupport-
ed by Democrats on his avOWal, already
made, of a purpose to cooperate, If elect
ed, with the Democratic party; but let
the committee be careful to avoid MAX
ing the support of Mr.. Massey test of
party fidelity. I take the liberty fur
ther to suggest that Mr.. Massey will
greatly enhance the public's estimate
of his patriotism if he shall address a
note to our State Committee making
his continuance in the canvass to de-
pend on their willingness to issue the
above stated recommendation, and this
| DIG without any idea of what may be
Mr.. Massey's inclinations in the prem.
ises, since I have never at any time had
any political conference with him, and
am scarcely one whom he would i'm
agine as the possible writer of this COM
munication,
With heartfelt wishes for the unity of
all Democrats, and for the welfare of
our beloved State, am an

JUDGE HUGHES DECIDES THE SAM

JUDGE HUGHES DECIDES THE SAM
PLE-MERCHANT's CASE AND HOLDS
THE VIRGINIA LAW CONSTITUTIONAL.
Judge Hughes, of the United States
Court, gave last Thursday his decision
in the ha6eas corpus case of Hay T..
Thornton, sample merchant of Balti>
more, under arrest for selling goods by
sample without having paid the Vir-
ginia tax assessed upon sample mer-
chants.
The new tax law of Virginia requires
all merchants proposing to sell by SAM
pie to pay a license tax of $3.50. This
license entities the regular merchant to
sell by sample by as many agents as he
pleases, but he is taxed beyond his orig
inal stock at the rate of $50 for every
additional $4,000 worth of goods sold.
1t entities the sample merchant to sell
only by one agent, and if he employs
more he is required to pay $50 for every
additional agent.
There is no distinction made in the
text of the law between non-residents
and residents. It was contended that
the law by the provisions just stated
in effect Disseminated against nom
residents in favor of resident merchants,
and was therefore unconstitutional, but
the Court held that this was not appa-
rent from anything In the law itself,
nor in the record of the case nor was 1t
shown by evidence or proof of any sort,
and so far as the Judge could conjecture
was not true in point of fact, 80 the pc
tition was denied and the petitioner or.
dered to be remanded to the State off,

WHAT BECAME OF THE MONEY.

1t is alleged that "My Dear Hub
bell. Chairman of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee, collected over a
quarter of million dollars from clerks
and other Government employees at
Washington for the ostensible purpose
OF carrying the election. Now, it is re-
ported from Washington that the clerks
who voluntarily contributed" this
large amount of money to the campaign
fund propose to ask Mr.. Hubbell what
he did with it. There is no evidence in
the election returns that it vas used in
the campaign, and the clerks, who be-
gin to see that their tenure of Office is
drawing to a close, will ask for an ac-
counting. 1t is rumored that much of
the money extorted from persons in the
employ of the Government was loosely
squandered, and it is charged that
Hubbell authorized some of his favor
ties to use money from this corruption
fund to secure not their elections but
their denominations. 1t is also charged
that Hubbell used large share of the
funds to insure his election to the
United States Senate from Michigan
against Ferry, whose term expires next
March. He will probably be requested
to give detailed sworn statement of
his expenditures to every office holder
from whom he took money; and the
clerks who demand such a statement
will have public sentiment with them,
as the masses of the people are opposed
to the Hubbell method OF levying as
sessment to carry elections.

WHAT THE RETURNS SHOW.

The official returns from several coun-
ties appear in the SILVER STATE to-day.
They show conclusively that scratching
was practiced to an almost unprece-
denied extent by the free and enlight-
ened citizens of Nevada. Washoe ap-
pears to be the only county in the
State that gave Strother a majority,
and even there several Democrats were
elected on the county ticket. Storey
county gave Powning 80 majority, and
Ormsby gave him six majority, yet on
the Comstock Adams received l23 ma
jority, and Ormsby, which has hitherto
been considered the Gibralter of Re-
publicanism in Nevada, gave Adams "a
majority. Elko county, which gave
Cassidy 406 majority and Adams l35
majority, gave Leonard, Republican, Is
majority, and Bgelow, Republican, 4Sl
majority, and elected nearly the whole
Republican county ticket. Eureka
county gave Cassidy 326 majority, and
Adams 265, though Laughton and
Leonard, Republicans, carried the
county by l76 and 100, respectively.
Nye county gave Adams 95 majority,
Cassidy 1874, and Leonard, Republican,
IL. The strongest Republican coun-
ties elected Democrats to the principal
county offices, while Democratic coun.
ties reversed the rule by electing Re-
publicans to county Offices, and in
many instances to the Legislature. 1t
will puzzle the shrewdest politicians to
determine from the returns whether
Nevada is Democratic or Republican,
Notwithstanding the fact that the two
principal officers, the Governor and
Congressman, are Democrats. Party
lines were ignored to greater extent
than ever before, and almost every
elector used his pencil more or less on
election day.

Says the San Francisco Alta: Your
Nevada man is no SLOUGH when it comes
to scratching. In State casting only
from 10000 to $4,000 votes, Cassidy,
Democrat, is elected Congressman by a
majority Of about l,l00 and Leonard,
Republican candidate for Supreme
Judge, has 700 majority. This is diff
ference Of 800 votes, which is equal
to difference of 100000 in the State
OF New York, and to $500 in the city
of San Francisco.

Popular belief in the wisdom Of
vaccination has received a severe blow
in part of Germany, where a large
number of children, both those vaccina-
ted for the first time and others revac-
cinated after an interval of twelve
years, have fallen dangerously i'll, the
flesh about the punctured part decaying
and sloughing off, the bodies being
covered with scores of boils. 1t is
thought unlikely that single one of
the affected children will recover. In
pure virus appears to have been the
cause OF this unfortunate result.

President Grevy Of France, has been
seized by a sudden illness. He had
two attacks of rush of blood to the brain,
caused primarily by Indigestion. The
attack was apopletic in its character.
The excitement in official and political
circles is intense, and the situation in
Goverement circles is still further CON-
plicated by this unexpected factor.
President Grevy's resignation, which
has been foreshadowed by certain
papers, may be expedited by his illness.

call the old "black laws" as they were well
called, passed by some of the States of this
Union against free negroes who asked only
the poor privilege of earning their bread in
an honest way. 1t is especially interesting
at this time to recall the fact that many of
the arguments now urged against the tolera-
ton here of the rice eating Chinaman have
been urged just as earnestly and passionately
within the memory of Americans now living
against the liberation here of the potato eat
ing Irishman. 1t is hardly forty years since
eloquent politicians and able editors were de-
monstrating to their own satisfaction and to
the satisfaction of many wel-meaning per-
sons, that Irishmen, able to live on a few
potatoes day, used to herding in squalor
and filth, as alien to our ideas as to our habits,
owing allegiance only to the pope of Rome,
coming to this country only to make little
money and then go back to Ireland, would
reduce the native-born workingmen of the
United States to poverty, idleness and star
walton. This sort of thing was actually said
and printed in this country not forty years
ago, and Irishmen were butchered in the
streets of Baltimore and New Orleans for
