Is fact, there could be produced columns upon
columns OF such glowing" evidences, but they
are evidences that Malone evil days are drawing
nigh, when he shall find no pleasure in them
The Wing may rage and THE REPUBLICAN imagine
a vain thing, but, as the outlook now is, Massey
will be elected, Dawson will outrun Wise, and
with two exceptions the Virginia delegation in the
next Congress will be Democratic
The above is concluding paragraph in
an editorial in Yesterdays Post. The ed
itorial assumes to discuss matters in Vir-
ginia and is n jumble of silly absurdities
which will be laughed at in Virginia by
all parties. We reproduce its concluding
paragraph merely that when the canvass
in Virginia shall have ended the Wash
ington readers of the Post may see how
mockingly it insults their intelligence,
or how culpably inadequate are its sources
of information. In about three months
it will be in order to reprint these aston.
ishing prophecies. Don't forget: Mas
seq uU be elected" " DawSon trW outrus
WISE" and ",rith t'co exceptions the Vir-
ginia delegation aciH be Democratic" The
real truth is that no intelligent Bourbon
in Virginia will seriously dispute Mas
sey's overwhelming defeat or claim that
Dawson's strength will exceed Il few hun
dred venal votes that were all cast for the
Bourbon State ticket last fall, under the
guidance of General Wickham and other
sorehead Republicans, or believes that
his party can carry more than four of the
Congressional districts.

They DON'T Want 1t.

While our lively and hopeful neighbor
of the Post is assuring his readers that the
Democrats are sure of a majority in the
of the New York Sun telegraphs that
journal that q Democratic Representative
has revealed to him mighty fine piece
of strategy in which his party is engaged,
which is nothing more nor less than
a plan to lose the House Intentionally,
in order "to let the Republicans have
undisputed control of the government
in the next Congress-" This, says the
revealer of party secrets, is considered Il
wise policy "with reference to the cam
paign of 1854" We have long feared
that the Post was off color with the
leaders of the Democratic party, but we
cannotunderstand why il was not let into
the scheme above referred TO. The Dem
ocratic representative thus discourses TO
the St1l writer;
If the House In the Forty. eighth Congress were
Democratic It would be SO by narrow majority,
and would be opposed by a Republican Souate
and Executive. There would be dead. locks and
necessary compromises, which might result to the
disadvantage rather than benefit Of the Democrats
in the presidential campaign. This consideration
has considerable weight among Democrats, and
makes them in q measure Indifferent 10 the issue
Of the pending Congressional campaign, The Re-
publcans make no secret Of their eager wish for
victory, and the leaders are calling on the least
and greatest OF the party for help.
This desire of the Bourbons to lose the
next House explains their refusal either
10 put up q candidate for Congressman
at-large in Virginia or to indorse Parson
Massey. The Post will now probably
catch on to its party idea and cease its
wild prophecies of Democratic victories
in the fall elections.

THE Petersburg Inder-Appeal asks us to
snake note" of its view of the present
relation of the races at the South, and
says that the Liberal party "is not a
necessity now for the maintenance of
order, for the security Of the ballot, for
the preservation or improvement of edu-
cational facilities, or for any other pur-
p,se involving the good of any citizen"
We have due appreciation of the gen.
eral fairness of the editor of the Lnde.r-
Appeal, but he must excuse us if we de-
cline to Judge his party thereby. We
prefer to whack away at the Bourbons,
in the hope that with the final destruc-
ton Of that organized antiquity, its best
members will find affiliations which will
enable them to be of service to their
country and their age.

BIG LAND PURCHASE,
Along the Line OF the Northern Pacific
Railroad.

1t is understood that a syndicate of New York
and London capitalists has purchased or is TO pur
chase 100000 acres of the finest grazing land on
the Northern Pacific Railroad in Montana at one
dollar an acre, and that RUFUS Hatch, Judge VAN
derpool, and other capitalists now in this city are
on their way to inspect the land. The Hatch party
left New York about Il week ago. and are travel
ing in palatial style, all the expenses being paid
by the Norhern Pacific Railroad Company. They
are accompanied by Mr.. Hermenn 1rott the
land commissioner OF the road, and intend 10 visit
and thoroughly inspect the territory which they
ure said TO have purchased, and which lies be-
tween the Little Missouri and Powder Rivers.
This is II section of the finest grazing country in
the world. and has sustained the largest herds Of
Buffalo ever known from time immortal 1t has
been the iavorite hunting grounds Of the Sioux
Indians, and TO save 1t from the aggressiyeness OF
civilization sitting Bull fought SO long. 1t is
nearer the market Than any other large range now
existing unoccupied and can support hundreds f
thousand of cattle. 1t is said to be the plan of
the syndicate 10 purchase the land on seven years
time at one dollar an acre, and place upon 1t this
fall $1,000 head Of young cattle, which will render
them so large profit within the next seven years
that the cost of the land will be mere bagatelle.-

fivoritc of II naturally kind and generous master,

England and the Sultan.

The Sultan does not appear to be rush.
ing joyfully into the arms of his old friend
England. He cannot get the procama-
ton against Arab worded exactly to suit
him. England is only elping the Sultan
and the Khedive to preserve order in
Egypt, but she began this by bombarding
Alexandria in advance of the wish of
eth er to be helped. The world knows
that the Sultan considers that England
is making offensive war upon him with
out cause, and that the pretext furnished
for this in the Khedive's course is attenu-
ated and absurd. Benedict Arnold
might as we'll have invited
foreign power to preserve order in
the colonies during our revolution.
The English correspondents have in
dustriously supplemented Mr.. Glad
stones audacious efforts to make it ap-
pear that England is merely aiding
Egypt to suppress rebellion, and that
the invasion of that country was only to
cooperate with the Sultan; but the Sui
tan neither sends troops nor proclaims
Arab rebel. The Khedive is evidently
traitor, and the abject slave of Eng
land. She uses the name of his Office to
make him appear TO be The Egypt he has
sold. He has less following than had the
Mexican traitors who We're appointed by
the French as an Assembly of Notables to
transfer their country to MaXimillian.
The partition of Poland was not bolder
offense against national life than is the
attempt now going on to blot Egypt from
the map of the world through the shall
low and transparent trick of q collusion
with the debauched Khedive, and in de-
fance of the recognized rights and in the
face of the protests of his universally
acknowledged suzerain, Whether Eng
| land shall cOerce the Sultan into pre-
tense of desiring thus to be outraged
himself. and ofre regardinga a war of conquest
against Egypt as war in her defense, is
| the question now under debate in Europe.
The Sultan watches and waits for sup
port enough from the powers to justify
him in refusing to furnish troops to aid
an enemy in invading his own realm, or
| to proclaim his subjects traitors for re-
sisting the invasion. The massacre of
| June IL, which is occasionally brought in
as an excuse for the commencement of
| English hostilities against Egypt, was q
massacre Of Egyptians, and not of Euro
peans. The former made some resist
ance, but they were not the aggressors.
| The riot which led to it had no political
significance.
