The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1882-04-06

Although to-day you quote Republican
Journals against us to show that we are not
Republicans, but the foes OF Republicans,
Tomorrow YOU viii quote Republican jour
nails for us TO show that we are Republic
cans, and nothing elsc.- Wing.
oh. no. You are not foes to the Repuh-
hcan party, but neglecters OF individual
Republicans We charge that you are Re-
publcans in disguise; that you arc faithful
allies of the Republican party; that YOU
will be compelled in 1854 TO choose between
the Democratic and Republican candidates
for President Of the United States, and
will vote for the latter; that YOU will
not admit this to the Democratic Read
justers, but to them claim to be nothing
but Readjusters'; that at the same time
General MALONE has to give nearly all the
Offices at his disposal TO these Democratic
Readjusters or else lose their support; that
though The Republicans furnished last fall
more than half of CANERON's votes they
receive this year but small share OF the
spoils; and that we are not at all displeased
that they who went out to shear the Dem
ocrais came home shon by their new
leader. Mr.. ARTHUR would give General
MALONE no Offices ii the latter were to tel
him he intends TO support the next Dem
.ocratic nominee for President of the United
states. No, indeed. Mr.. ARTHUR expects
General MALONE to give him the vote o.
Virginia in 1884.

Judge Richardson.

We do not admit that any Democratic
Judge has ever expressed his opinion as to
the consttutiouality Of a law that he knew
was to come before him on that very point.
a. it is charged Judge RICHARDSON has
done. We are tolerably intimate with one
or two Democratic judges OF higher repute
than Judge RICHARDSON; but wehave never
presumed 10 question one OF them in re-
gard to his opinion on any point OF consti-
tutlonal law that was Likely TO come before
him for decision.
But the fact is that when we said that
Judge RICHARDSON'S declaration that the
bill 10 rcarrange the judicial circuits was
clearly constitutional showed his fitness
for the high Office TO which he had been
elected, we did not alludc so much to the
fact OF his expressing that opinion as TO the
opinion itself. We fear. however, that we
did him injustice; for upon recXamining
the paragraph upon which our implied GEN.
sure was based, we find that Judge RIcH-
ARDsos is not charged with having said
ANYTHING more than any judge might, we
suppose, be justifiable in saying-namely,
that the Legislature has the right TO re-
arrange the circuits and diminish the num-
her thereof. lie did not say, so far as 1t
appears from the paragraph we quoted,
that the incumbent judges could be con-
stitutionally legislated out OF office.

4 Mysterious Death.

Mention was made in the Dispatch lat
week OF a human arm having been brought
home by dog belonging to Mr.. John
Hawkins, who lives near Crimona mines.
in Augusta county. The staunton Spectd-
tor Of this week gives the result OF inyesti-
CATION rs follows:
A party went in search OF the body, aud
found an overcoat, pair Of pantaloons,
boots, pocket-book, and knife, and also an
empty vial, which DR.. Myers said con-
tanned harmless medicine. All these ar
ticles were recognized by several persons
As belonging TO Mr.. j. Dorsey Hanger, and
there seems to be no doubt that he is the
person 10 whose body the arm found by
the dog belonged. He left his home about
three weeks ago, saying he was going out
West. His friends, being anxious about
him, wrote to persons in the West, making
inquiry about him; but failed TO learn any
thing Of him. During the late war he was
a member OF Company f.. First Virginia
cavalry, and was well known, and had
many relatives and friends in this county.
How he lost his life is unknown.

A Card from Mr. Farr.
RICHMOND, Va, April 3, 1882


10 the Editor Of the Dispatch
Dear sir,-My attention has been called
to telegram in your issue OF yesterday IN
which the Hon. John f. Massey Is reported
rs having shown how Mr.. FAR got his
nomination by his own vote, and j respect
fully ask the courtesy Of q denial through
YOUR columns. presume that Mr.. Massey
referred specifically to the nomination
which received In the Readitnter caucus
namely. the nomination for superintendent
of Public Instruction. | desire to state
briefly that the statement that i got the
nomination by my own vote is as false a
+" diccrs' oaths," and the recklessness with
which the charge is made is eXcclled only
by fhe'mlignIty which suggested ii.
A reference to the caucus-roll shows that
T was not present when the vote upon my
nomination was taken, nor was j MEM
Der OF the committee which apportioned
the Offices TO the different congressional
districts.
| can only hope and ask that the papers
which have gwen circulation TO the charge
will do me the kindness to publish this de-
NAL. Respectfully, X. IL. FARR.
We do not regret that we published Mr..
MAssEY's statement, since we were thus
the means Of having It corrected; but we
none the less dislike to be even the innocent
medium of disappearing any man in
any way.
T.. 5. Did Mr.. FAIR write the forego-
ing note without assistance? II so, he has
also been misrepresented as TO his ortho-
graphic delinquencicS.
