REPUBLICANS VoTE AGAINST, AND
DEMOCRATS For VIRGINIA INTERESTS.
Under date of June Goth. the Wash
ington correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch says:-
"Mr. Tucker said to day to your corr
respondent that if Mr. Moore (Republi-
cam of Tennessee, had voted Aye"
and Mr.. Robson, who was paired with
Mr. Stephens, had declined to vote, as
he should have done, the amendment
abolishing the tobacco tax would have
been adopted. Said he: I'VE are told
in Virginia that if we want substantial
assistance we must act with tie Repub-
lican party, and yet when proposition
is made to relieve great Virginia staple
from unjust and oppressive taxation all
the Democrats vote Aye and all the
Noes are Republicans. The people of
Virginia cannot be blind to the record"
The vote on the abolition of the tax on
beer showed like result"

An Interesting Interview with DR..
Beard.
T Fridays Washington Republican

Fridays Washington Republican,.
A representative of the Republican
approached DR. Beard in the Riggs
House last night and asked him if there
was anything he would like to say
through the columns Of the Republican.
Eyes, there u.s." said the Doctor en-
phatically. IL should like to have been
able to have made this statement to the
President had seen him to-day. There
are three things 1 should have placed
before him. which will become COM
mon place by-and By. It is now settled
beyond dispute that Guiteau is insane
and that he has been insane for years.
The question that remains in doubt is
what should be done with him. Sec
ondly, lunatics have been hanged be.
fore, in passion, in ignorance, or hate !;
but this is the first tine in the history Of
mankind that person long known as
a lunatic has been deliberately hanged
by civilized or uncivilized people.
Third, if any man shoots the President,
without an accomplish, the presump
ton is that he is insane. Hereafter.
cases of this kind will not be tried,
much less the principal convicted. They
will treat them as they do in Europe,
where they shut them up quietly and
let them work for their living without
noise or publicity. The Guiteau trial
has already increased insanity in this
country, and given rise to popular be-
lief that the life of the President and
the Cabinet will be less safe after The
execution of Guitesu than before it, for
you know murder begets murder"

Especial Dispatch to the Baltimore SUM-
WARRINGTON, June 3O.-A cores
pondent of The Sun had talk last even
ing with the Rev. DIR. Hicks, who at
tended the murderer in his last hours.
DR.. Hicks Is rapid and fluent talker,
given in ordinary conversation some
what to metaphor of very doubtful
mixture. This is MURDER" he said.
ut is murder In its most horrible form,
and the more atrOciOus because it Is le-
galized."
"Then you believe the man insane ?"
II do. He is not of that kind of in.
sanity that makes a man readily de-
tected by his foolish talk and actions.
1t is true that boys on the street would
not follow him and poke fun at him as
they do when they find a crazy man,
but nevertheless this man is SO far in
sane as to be irresponsible for his ac-
tons. l have watched him carefully
with him. His mind is surely unbal-
anced Why, his very egotism is proof
of his insanity. When I talk with
him, no one else being present, I am
surprised a hundred times in a short
conversation. He will run along for
short time very logically and with q
striking originality of thought. Then
suddenly he breaks out with turn this
way or that, which shows conclusively
that his mind is not balanced as it
should be-"
You, then, think he is crank?"
"Crank? I do not like the word. He
is not the man whom the newspapers
have defined as a crank. He is simply
insane. He should be sent direct to an
insane asylum. 1 repeat this, his death
is murder"
SIS this the first condemned man
whom you have attended on the scat
fold ?"
mo; I have ministered finally to
three in addition to Guiteau
"How does he act in comparison
with the others?"
"Well, the other three were colOred
men. They sang and shouted. The
contrast could not have been greater
between them and Guiteau. The latter
is quiet, though the solemnity of death
is ever present before him. He believes
this as strongly as he believed that he
was inspired by God to kill President
Garfield. He believes that there is a
hell, but has no more idea of going
there than he had of being sentenced to
death. He is as happy as it is possible
ioA q hAdA W NC WIZ IS SOiuS 1uto CtCA-
nifty in few hours 1 was surprised to
find him the kind of man that he is.
From the newspapers had CLEANED the
idea that he was half savage. I have
found him one of the gentlest and most
tractable men with whom I have dealt.
He never breaks out while talking with
me. He has frequently said, We'll,
Doctor, the time is drawing near l
can meet my fate calmly and with a
clear conscience. have not sinned in
this. only obeyed my Maker, who
will see that am avenged During
the last few days he has talked with me
for the first time little violently. He
has complained rather bitterly about
President Arthur and the stalwarts.
His criticisms of the press have always
been anything but favorable to the fra
ternity. Yes, he has prepared will.
1 do not know its contents, or rather I
should say that l cannot tell you what
I know about it" In conclusion Mr.
Hicks repeated that the execution to-
day-was nothing but legal murder,pure
and simple.

A FALSE PRETENsE.-The Washing
ton Correspondent of the Alexandria
Gazette says that lone of the excuses
the Mahoneties offer the people of Vir-
ginia for DESERVING the democratic party
and going over to the republicans, is
the assertion that while the democratic
party, either from want of inclination
or want of power, never do anything
that will benefit Virginia, the republi-
can party not only has the desire but,
what is of more consequence, the abil-
ity to confer favours upon the old State
by legislating in her interests. That the
republicans have this power 10 one
denies, but that they have the desire
to exercise it is utterly disproved by
the experience of this session of Con.
gress, for they have positively re-
fused to let the bills for refunding to
Virginia the money she advanced the
general Government in 1872, and for
pensioning the survivors of the Mexican
war be reported from the committees to
which they were referred; and on Sat-
urday week, motion to abolish the in
ternal revenue tax on Virginia's staple,
tobacco, was defeated by a majority of
two, every vote against it being cast by
republicans, one of whom was Moon, a
Tennessee scalawag, and the other,
Robson, who had no right to vote, mas
much as he was paired with Mr.. Ste
phens. Here are three patent refutations
of the assertions referred to. Virginia
is urgently in need of the pavement of
her just claim for the money she lent
the Government. Many of her old peo-
pie would be made comfortable for the
rest of their lives If they were pensioned
for the services they rendered in the
Mexican war, by which the country
greatly proflted both In lands and
money, and removal of the unjustly
discriminating tax on her great agricul-
tural product would rebound to the
benefit of every interest in the State; and
yet the republicans, to which General
Malone gave the Senate, and Messrs.
Paul and Fulkerson gave the House Of
Representatives positively refuse to let
any one of the measures alluded to be
adopted, while the democrats support
them almost to man"
