THE VIRGINIA ELECTION,

Thre is no event in the elections
next week that would give more general
satisfaction to the better elements of
politics throughout the country than
the defeat of MAHoNE in Virginia.
The defeat of CAMERON in Pennsyl-
Tania will give great satisfaction to the
anti-machine voters Of all parties in
that State, but the defeat Of MALONE
would be so direct and emphatic a re-
buke to the machine methods in vogue
at Washington and which reach out to
q greater or less extent to all the States,
that it would be occasion for national
rejoicing.
The interference Of the Federal Ad-
ministratiOn with the local contests in
Virginia has been so boldly obstrusive
and unwarraDted by all precedent aud
every right conception Of the sphere Of
the presidential office that it becomes q
matter Of national importance to have
popular verdict upon these methods.
"The control of the party in Virgin
Ia" says the New York Tribune, "has
been handed over to General MALONE
with a power over his province as
absolute and unquestiOned as was ever
given to Roman prOconsul who hap
pened to be fsvorite with the reiguing
emperor. No office, high or low,
throughout the entire State can be filled
except as MAHoNE dictates"
Among other abuses Of the Federal
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1882-10-31

power delegated to MALONE, the 7ri-
6sine mentions the well known fact that
ian estimable lady whose relatives have
made great sacrifices for the Union has
been turned out Of the postoffice ut
Manassas for the purpose Of Furnishing
her brother, who ventured TO exercise
his own judgment in opposition to that
ofMAHONE. The circumstances o. this
removal have been given in detail"
The lady referred to in the above case
was so popular that the patrons Of the
office-nearly four hundred in number
-petitioned, with only two exceptions,
for her retention, and no one could be
found within the circuit Of delivery,
mean enough to take her place. MA
HONE thereupon imported one o. his
tools from q distance of fifteen miles, to
fill the Office. These facts were made
known to the Administration and laid
before a Cabinet meeting, where it was
decided that MALONE must have his
way.
1t is by these methods, and by such
direct assumptions Of the Federal Ad-
ministration, that Virginia is to be car
ried for the Republicans. Without dis
cussing whether Virginia would be bet
ter IN the hands ofthe Republicanstha
the Democrats, or even admitting that
assumption to be true, it can not be de-
MED tnat the dignity of the Federal
Government is being compromised, and
the highest Office in the nation is being
prostituted TO the accomplishment o.
this purpOse.

Tyler County Joins In the General
Verdict

Tyler County independent.
The election of 1850 for Congress in this
county shows the following vote: Hutch
inson, R., 1,l79; Wilson, D., SOL; Bassell,
G., III; total vote, 2,l54. In the election
lust held, Goff received !, is votes-4l votes
less than Hutchinson received; Good re-
ceiyed 6I4-2l7 less than Wilson; total vote
for lSS2, 1852. Showing falling of from
the vote of 1882 of 372, which shows con-
clusiyely that Goff did not increase the
Republican vote, but on the contrary he
lost Al votes, and the result further
shows that those VINO did not vote were
Democrats, for in Centreyille District there
is falling of in the vote since the SO
districts there was l46 less votes polled than
in 50 So the entire First district, except
DOddridge county, and she is the only
county that polled anything like a full
vote. In most OF the counties there no
organization by the Democrats, while the
Republicans spared neither time no. mon.
ey to get their votes out.

THERE is a lack of uniformity among
the Presbyterian synods as to how they
shall be constituted under the new plan.
Under the old arrangement every
minister was member of synod, to-
gether with one elder from each church.
The new system makes each synod's
boundaries Identical with the boundary
of the State in which it exists. This Is
a very clumsy system, and one which
for many years was tried by the Protes-
tant Episcopal church in the division OF
its lioccses, and at last rejected. By the
new plan several synods in each State
are consolidated into one. At once the
trouble is that the newly formed synod
is inconveniently large. To Obviate
this a resort is had to the scheme OF
making the synod a delegated body, the
delegates to he elected by the Presby-
teries. The synods ofPennsylyania and
Illinois have agreed to this. The
snyods of New York and Ohio adhere
to the old way. This involves for the
synod of New York a larger meeting
than the general assembly itself

THE POPULARITY OF THE PIG.

The summer Pork-packing season
closes to-day, and the winter packing
season begins tomorrow.
We have noticed that there has been
a gradual falling off in the number OF
hogs packed at western points for the
pt t&a XegGs, tEf8o Fr eyaE~lahsse is5UU396t,
against > 80, PSI for the corresponding
period year ago.
Nearly the same rate of decline was
shown last year over the previous year.
Ii is q remarkable fact, when we reflect
about il, that the decline in this buSi-
ness at the principal packing city should
show over a million less hogs packed in
the last summer season than during the
previous summer season.
The natural conclusion one would
form from these statistics is that the
popularity of the hog aS q meat diet is
on a decline. For, certainly there are
more people to be fed this year than last,
and there is no evidence that our car
nivOrOus habits as nation are under
going change, unless it be in the di-
rectiOn of eating more meat.
But we are informed by Wheeling
man who is on the inside of the BUSH
ness, that pork, instead of declining in
favor with our people is really advanc-
