AFTER HER HUSBANDS MURDERERs.-
The Washington Republican of yesterday
says: 'An old colored woman, named Mar
tina Pope, applied at police headquarters on
Saturday TO seek assistance in tracing the
murderers of her husband, who was en-
ploycd on J. K, Wise's farm, near Norfolk,
Va, and mysteriously disappeared in Au-
gust, 1879, being supposed to have had con-
siderable money with him. A portion of
the mans clothing was subsequently found
i'll the swamp. Isaac Franklin, colored, who
was the last man seen with Pope alive, has
been arrested to answer to the capital charge
and sam Cannon has also been arrested as an
accomplish. The police do not place very
much credence in the story, but will inves-
tlgate It,. This Is the same woman who had
Charles Ball, ,colored, arrested here last
week on the charge of numbering her hus-
band

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1, 1882.

In THE stereotyped resolutions now being
adopted by the Mahoneitesat their bakers
dozen meetings throughout the counties in
the State the democrats are invariably
charged with efforts to continue the divis-
ion Of the country upon sectional issues.
Now if there is one thing more apparent
than another it is that the democratic party
is the national party not only in its princi-
Piles but in its organization. 1t is opposed
to all sectional, special and class legislation,
and to the continuance of such war legiSla-
ton as is incompatible with the restoration
of peace. and it has an effective organization
in every State i'll the Union. The republi-
can party on the contrary is nothing if not
sectional. 1t legslates solely for the benefit
of the rich and the monopolists of the North
it is opposed to the removal of political dis
abilities incurred by the war, it only exits
Us an effective organization in the States o.
the North, and it finds by experience that
the surest means at its disposal for retaining
possession Of the country are the bloody
shirt and the animosities Of the war. The
democrats of the South since the close of tho
war have tried by every conceivable mean.
to wipe ont sectional lines and TO become
the fellow citizens in fact as in name of tho
people of the North but their advance:

republicans of that section as often as they
have been made And.now when, owing tt
the corrupt and ultra partisan course of the
Administration, the better men Of the re
publican party have grown lukewarm in it!

Another Turn of the Screw.

The Charlottesville correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch says:
Another turn Of the Readiuster screw
has resulted in twisting of the head of Mr..
A. +. Bibb, the clerk Of the University post
office. Mr.. Bibb is the son Of H. Bib,
esq. the postmaster at the University, and
the father is required to discharge his son
because he happens not to think with him
in politics. 'Pennie bibb was perhaps the
most efficient clerk the Univer it, postoflice
ever had. He was very popular with the
students on account of his promptness in his
duties and his obliging and amiable DISPOSE
ton, and he had increased the business OF
the office to such IN extent ii had been rails
ed from third or fourth class office to :,
lirSl-class one, very many persons deciding
TO receive and send their mail matter
through this office who had before preferred
charlottesville or some contiguous country
office. The appointing power lies with the
postmaster, who has gven the place to A. H.
Cleavcland, esq, the whilom secretary of
the Board of Visitors. The place is worth
5000 per annum. And now it is said the
moving spirits in this unnatural proceeding
are very much dissatisfied because the post
master has not appointed the man for whom
they, in their designs Oh the place, intended
1t. The postmaster, however, has a mind
and will ofhis own, and declares that he
will adhere to his present appontee He

qulrements of the Grand Mogul'

TIE IsTlGMus OF SUEZ.-It has generally
been supposed that the plateau of Kabret,
which divides the Mediterranean from the
Red Sea at Suez, and which is now pierced
by the Suez canal, is Of miocene age; but re-
cent investigations by NJ. Theodor Fuchs,
undertaken for the Austrian Academy of
Sciences. and still later observations Of NJ.
Eusebc Fassol, captain Of ornaments at the
Suez canal have given good grounds for the
belief that the kabret plain is of much later
formation, and that the waters of The Red
Sea and Mediterranean were united over it
as late as the quarternaryp period. This con-
clusion is arrived at from the fossils of ma
rne animals picked up among the sand, and
notably the empty tubes ofthe Teredo Fuch-
si, which derives its specific name from NJ.
Fuchs. This is essentially a quaternary
fossil, and it is found in plenty among the
sands between the Bitter Lakes. Engineer

The RESOLUTIONS which are prepared at
headquarters and sent out TO the Malone
ties in the counties for adoption ut the Ma
hone meetings, which are composed chiefly
of negroes with II white scalawag now and
then to give them a notified appearance, al
ways praise the President for what they as
sert is the kindness he has extended to the
South. Why President Arthur is the most
sectional and partisan of all the republican
Presidents He has not even single South
ern man in his cabinet, and so keen is he
for the republicans to hold possession of the
country and for himself to he elected Presi-
dent that he has repudiated one of the car
dinal principles of his party, the binding OBJ
legation of pecuniary contracts, by allyng
himself with the Virginia regulators in Or
der to get their support. The kindness he
has shown to the South is only evinced by
the Offices with which he has bought the
support of a few men in Virginia who pre-
viously had been the most pro5cripive men
in the democratic party.

SENATOR ANGUS CAMERON says "if the
republicans have not done enough for the
negroes to make them republicans the SOON
er they leave the republican party the bet
ter" AS every body knows that emancipa-
tion was war measure, and that the amend
ments to the Constitution were only effects
of the war, the negroes should thank the
Southern democrats, who inauguratcd the
war, and not the republicans, for any bene-
fits they may have received But whether
they do or not, one thing is certain, and it
is that rs long as the negroes vote solidly
with any one party: large majority of the
white people of country in the future, as
they have done in the past, will vote with
the other.
