AS GENERAL MAHoNE has said he wants
all race distinctions abolished, and as his
past actions show that he allows but few
things to stand between him and the ac-
complishment of his ends it behooves every

nativity or politics may be, to qualify him
self to vote, or to make his inability to do
so known to his local committee in order
that they may help him, and be thus enabled

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, oCTR. 8, 1882.

The RICHMOND Wing, while, of course,
lacking his ingenuity, has nearly as hard
time in qualifying and explaining" away
its wild assertions as the late Horace Gree
ley experienced in his memorable canvass
for the Presidency. It says, plainly, one
day that which taxes it to the utmost to ex-
plain away or deny the next. The last ridi-
culous chimera entertained by it-that Je-
sus Christ was liberal readjuster-we sup
pose, was 50 revolving to reverend people,
i'll the mcshcs of the Malone net though
they be, that the GAZETTE has all sorts of
impotent epithcts hurled at it for quoting the
plain language it used in making the
thoughtless remark. The following is the
Whig's ''recantation,' explanation" or
''denial," as the reader may choose to con-
str,le it
I'VE kAoW land we choose to SAIL that
Christ was neither Bourbon nor u Pharisee :;
and as lifelong and reverent student of his
teachings. we claim that lin the best sense
not in the Bourbon sense) He was a Liberal
Readjuster! That is, He taught what we
seek to put in force"
Now, if language means anything the
GAZETTE understood the Wing to say just
what it did say-"that He Christi aras ill.,
erat readJuster :" that ''He taught what we
the readjustcrs) seek to put in force" And
yet we are charged with deliberate malice
aforethought, instigated thereto by the dew
H., for taking its words literally. We have
not been lifelong and receread student of
the scriptures, but for number of years
have made them Il special study, and while
acknowledging an inability to see the pre-
else import of every passage, we do know
their contents, adopt them and reverently
bow to the voice Of inspiration. But to I'M
dertake TO prove that the principles taught
by the Saviour are at variance with those of
parties who seek to evade the full payment
OF financial obligations would be work of
supererrogaton if not an insult to every
intelligent Bible student in the State. With
out transcribing every word Christ uttered
bearing on this subject, let it be remember
ed that the circumstances of His advent to
this mundane sphere were intimately con-
nected with tribute-rendering mission,
and that, too, TO a foreign power, with no
legal claim whatever upon His nation, and
throughout His life He never uttered word
calculated to impair the payment of debts
whether regarded by his interrogators as
just or unjust. One thing, however, regard
ing the teachings OF Jesus of Nazareth has
ever been serious problem to us-how the
most questionable parties who ever trod the
earth could always so readily see in the
meek and lowly Saviour man of like pas
sions as themselves. Colonel Ingcrsol secs

upon the inquity of the democrats in fail.
ing to remove the capitation tax long ago.

IN Pennsylvania in which the voters of that
State are not now urged to pay their poll
tax by Saturday next in order that they
may be enabled to vote Mr.. Wise's party
doesn't think the captation tax such a
hcinons crime in Pennsylvania as it is in
Virginia, though in the former State it goes
into the general fund, while here every cent
Oft is devoted to the support of the public
schools. That the republicans of Pennsyl-
vania don't think the tax an Ubiquitous one
is made plain by their maintenance of it,
for though they have long possessed the
power to repeal that tax they have failed to
eXerciseit.

that State had not been cut down. The
only Republican losses by election have
been in Ohio, and these, important as
they are, were brought about by the

icans carried the day simply because
they themselves had the majorities. In
Ohio there are not to-day Democrats
enough TO come within $4,000 of carry
ing State election, or to elect over
half dozen Congressman. The causes
which led to the Republican split there,
it is of no use now to WORRY over, but
the fact may be borne in mind that, as
has been said so many times within the
last four days, the result of it was Re-
publican defeat and not a Democratic
victory.
West Virginia has had a solid Demo-
cratic delegation in the 45th, 10th and
47th Congresses, elected in 1876, 1878 and
1880, and although the Republicans of
that State are of the most vigorous and
trustworthy kind, it was hardly expect
ed that they would so nearly succeed in
revolutionizing the State. They haze
gained only two Congressman, to be
sure, and this by no means counterbal-
ances the loss in Ohio, so far as the or
ganization and control of the next
House is concerned. but it really means
much more. as indicating the current
political drift. The Republican Con-
gresham from West Virginia was not
chosen upon the issue of license or no
license in towns or cities. He was
elected as a Republican to deal with
National questions as a Republican,
while majority of Democratic Con-
gressmen elected in Ohio can have no
more to do with the questions upon
which the campaign issue was made up
than they can with the comet.
The characteristic feature of the cleo
tions, all taken together, isthat in every
instance where the bate was between
Republicans on one SIDE, and Demo-
Gratis, Greenbackers and what not on
the other, the Republicans won. 1t has
been only Republi. ans themselves who
have been able to beat the Republican
party anywhere. Post and I'rib-

There are gardens and gardens of roses,
ALI beautiful, bright and sweet;
But, oh not one do covet
OF all that chance to meet;
For the brightest rose
Is the one that grows
In my own little home for me3
And wherever I go,
Full well do know
No rose is so dear as she.
Ny Rose has eyes that are browner
Than ever were eyes of gazelle,
And heart that belongs to a woman
Whom we should trust long and weA.
Not far do roam
From the garden of home
Where my Rose is blooming for me;
For the charm of my life
Lies therein the wife
Who is fair and sweet to see.
So bud and blossom. ye roses,
Wherever the gardens grow,
Not sweeter your fragrant blooming
Than the beautiful Rose know.
Nor amongst you there
Is there bud SO fair
As the bud, so dainty and wee,
Which my Rose, SO sweet,
To make joy complete
Has brought to my garden for me.
