MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL,

The prospects of an improved fall trade were
never better. The receipts of grain are very fair
Tor SO soon after harvest, and prices have been
pretty well sustained. The reports from the
growing Corn are favorable and with good wheat
there is probability the farmers will have cause
Tor eXhuberance. The chief element of dstrust
IN the situation lies in the labor troubles. which
although less aggressive in some sections are NOT
entirely removed. Money is easy. In Baltimore

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY IA, 1882.

THE TWO candidates for Congressman at
large in this State are Capt. John S. Wise,
and Mr.. Massey. As the former openly
avows his, opposition to the democratic
party and his earnest support of the Arthur
wing of the republican party, no man pro-
Tossing to be democrat will stultify himself
by voting for him. But how is it with the
white republicans of Virginia? Mr. Massey
has always been their opponent, but has
been 80 upon broad, national grounds, and
because he thinks the establishment of
democratic principles will be conducive
to the prosperity and happiness not only of
Virginia but of the whole country. But
while opposing, he has always given them
the credit of being as conscientious in their
political convictions as he is in his, has al
ways been among the most liberal men of
his party, and has always been willing to
accord to republicans the same rights he
claims for himself and to believe that thew
are as patriotic and rs unscctional rs him
self Capt Wise on the contrary, until re-
Gently, belonged to the strictcst sect Of De-
mocracy, and even so late as subsequent to
his submission to General Malone, defined
white Virginia republicans as men "who
are not republicans from principle, but as n
matter of trade and barter; men without
character and influence, apostates for the
price of their apostacy men IN the commun-
ity who would starve without office. who
became republicans for office, and whose
tenure of office not only added no strength
to their party but brought it into disrepute
and turned respectable men away from it,
1t is only reasonable to suppose that no self
respecting white republican in the State
will hesitate long in determining which of
the two candidates is more worthy Of his
support

MIR. BLAINE attributes the i'll success of
republicanism in the South to the failure of
Congress to make large appropriations for

thereby implies that the Southcrp people

Arthur's mind must run in the same direc-
ton, for he acts rs though he believes that
the whole State of Virginia can be bought
by federal patronage. Unfortunately there
are some Firginians whose course has Civ
ell cause for such belief but the vast body
OF the white people of the State are not so
easily corrupted.

THE NEGROES having majority ofthc vot-
ers of Elizabeth City County, and all of them
being Mahoneites, have made three Of their
own race school trustees, who appoint
teachers for and supervise the education of
the white children of that county. The
Mahoneites have also made negro
a physician to the poor of Petersburg. 1t is
only because the ratio of white people in
Fauquier county is greater than it is in Eliz-
abeth City County, that negro school trus-
tees are not there also and white majority
in Alexandria is all that prevents the poor
white people of this city from having to de-
pend upon negro spell doctor for medical
attendance. The blood Of the carpet bag
gers was thicker than that of the Mahonites,
for, with all their rapicity, in Virginia at
least, they did not attempt to make the ed
ucation of their own, subject to thesupervis-
ion of an inferior, race nor to appoint negro
doctors for poor white people

MIR. FRYE on ME SHIPPING.

Senator Frye will do good service il
he succeeds in doing away with the cxac-
tions now unrcasonably required from
our coasting vessels. They havo borne
some of the impositions which he pro-
poses to abolish ever since the war, al
though they were part of the extraor-
diuary taxes of that period, and should
have been removed long since with the
lengthy schedule TO which they belonged.
Our foreign commerce and passenger
steamers should also be placed under fay-
9rable conditions to compete with British
and German vessels as far as possible.
We would not, however, accomplish the
object aimed at as respects passenger
ships by reducing the requirements for
safety which are properly imposed upon
our own vessels, but by requiring equal
provisions from foreign vessels offering
passage to citizens of this country in our
own ports. What should be aimed at is
TO place our shipping upon an equality
with that of foreign nations. Mr.. Fryes
remarks were well received by the Sena-
tors from various sections Of the country,
and although efforts in the same direc-
ton have frequently failed to accomplish
practical results, we entertain hope that
the former experience may not be repeat.
ca In this case.
