fair in those who arrange the false figures,
or is it fair in the journals which publish
them? Certainly these latter ought to know
better, for the Record, with the full report
of each case, is accessible to them. and
when a matter involving the fidelity OF a
public servant to the trusts confided TO
him, is in controversy, the pu bile interests
demand that the truth be ascertained and
asserted. But no. 1t is part ian advan-
tage and not the truth that is sought. The
aim is to poison the minds OF the people,
to misead public judgment in order to
gain point against political opponent,
and not to subserve the ends OF justice
and fairness. Capt. Paul is an honorable
man. He would no more violate his oath
of office or sworn duty to the country than
he would put his head under the block
without provocation. He is a man OF integrl-
ty, of fidelity to the right, OF courage to
do what he believes to be right, and be-
cause he has done this, and it so happened
that a few Republicans were the beneficia-
| ries, and among them two colored men, he
is to be mislepresented, slandered and ira
duced by those who know he is incapable
of periuring himself or prostituting his higl
position to the behests Of party or in the in
terest of partiZans.

Paul at Winchastar.

We learn that Hon. John Paul addressed
the people of Winchester and Frederick
county, on Monday last, at noon and at
night. In the first speech he was met by r.
T. Barton, Esq, and at night by Mr.. Alexan :
der, CONFERENCE.-The Attorney for the city
we believe. The report that. comes to us is to
the effect that in both instances Paul carried
away the honors, not only in the debate, but
in popular sympathy. 1t was complete
triumph on each occasion, and furnished the
evidence that the opponents, OF sBourhenism
IN Frederick are not only active and alive,
but increasing in numbers, The only regret
expressed on the part Of the Liberals, was
that Paul had to take two bites at a cherry,
as itwould haye been much more convenient
and economical to have demolished both OF
his opponents at one time. A goo work was
done in Winchester by Paul and the fruits Of
it will be furnished in. an incre ased vote for
Farr and Wise. -.~ '-'.',

An intelligent gentleman who has travelled
throughout the Southwest portion of Vir-
gnia for the past two weeks, informs us that
thore is no doubt of the election of Mai.
Bowen in the Ninth District He stated that
there was some detection in Washington
county, where Col. Fulkerson would carry
off some of the Readjusters and Mr.. Massey
might gain few, but that in other portions
OF the district the gains would greatly over
balance the losses in Washington, and assure
the vote of Wise and Bowen to equal that of
Cameron, to say the least. He met with
number of the leading business men of that
section and they told him that there were
many changes already known from Bourbon
ism to Liberalism. and that as the canvuss

The Bourbon papers have as much as they
can do to publish the pronunciaam Ian OF
the straighout Republicaas. They beat Santa
Anna, in his palmiest days at that business and
it surpasses all the space Of Bourbon journals
to accommodate them. We think that Re-
publicans would look upon this with suspic-
ion. Certainly the publications are not made
for love of Republicans. There must be some
thing behind this, and we think we see it in
the aid that Bourbons expect TO gain from Re
publican detection for the liberal cause. That
ought to satisfy every true Republican to
unite his efforts with the only power compe
tent to defeat the Bourbon faction.

Highl and County


From the Bourbon reports of the discus.
sion at Monterey, last Tuesday, between
Hon. John Paul and Judge O'Ferran, anG
the surface results thereof, the public would

whelmned by O'Ferrall and that politica
revolution had taken place in that healthy
and patriotic mountain county. We have
1t, however, from the most reliable author.
ity, gentleman in whose integrity we
have the utmost confidence and who was an
eye witness on the occasion, and is ac.
quainted with nearly every man in that
county, that the discussion and it eff,
fects were Just the reverse of what the
Bourbons represent. Not only did Paul
carry of the laurels In the debate, but the
audience was largely In his favor. There
have been. it is true, several prominent
changes in that county, from the Readjus-
ter party to the Bourbon TACT ion but they
bear no Comparison in Numbers to those
who voted for Daniel last year, that will
vote for Wise and Paul this year From
the information we have, we are satisfied
that Highland county will increase her ma
jority for Liberalism to at least GOA gain
OF 40, and that with reasonable work these
figures can be considerably added to-
Capt. Paul himself was very well satisfied
with the days work and the indications
furnished, as we're all of his friends with
Whom we have nnnuarsaf L,s n t4e-.
The policy OF the Bourbons is to misrep-
resent everything to their advantage. This
does not change vote, but. will bring
mortitication1and disappointment to those
who are green enough 4 to believe. what
they say. on the day of election. Not
only in Highland, but all through the VAL
ley counties of the Seventh District, the
assurances are the most. encouraging Of a
largely increased liberal vote, With the DER
tainty that Paul will be elected by. very
decided major ity.

The Game of Brag.

AS the Bourbons in the 18th district have neither
an announced platform nor a policy AS it relates
to state or national affairs, it may be expected
that they will have frequent and profilse resort
to buster and misrepresentation One of their
choice modes of endeavOring to mislead the
people will be to parade list of changes
to their interest, without giving the names of
the parties representing them We have an
Illustration of this in last weeks Va,aHcator.
One man who had prom Used 800 towards the
election of Paul, declared that he was off, after
hearing Paul speak on court day Another
gentleman, assuming the attitude of high
priest ut the confessional, relates that fifteen
different persons came to him and stated that
they were done with the Rcadjusters and
would support the Bourbons. AS to the first
case, no one connected with the Readjust-
er organization ever heard of the intended
donation and it is reasonable to suppose that the
person is myth and the circumstance de-
fusion In the other cited case, it is ono of those
extraYagant statements, that not even the ex-
aggerated credullty OF Bourbon could be-
licve. We should think it likely that the chosen
confessor of the Bourbon faction, might re-
main in his place of abode from now until the
day of election and scrape the county over by
Runners and drummers and he would not find
dozen voters who supported Cameron that
Will vote for Massey and O'Ferral1 Had some
lmpressible youth. fresh from the perusal
of Gulliver's Travels, or the Arabian Nights
Entertainment, or Wilkins Micawber's expe-
rience, or Baron Munchausen's adventures
with his imagination in al elastic and feverish
condition, assured US that he had encounter
ed dozen Readjusters, one after the other,
who intended to support the Bourbon ticket,
we could have understood it. But for prosac
men, engaged in practical political contest,
with almost every voters status known, to ven
ture upon such romance, is one of the things
we cannot account for except upon the pre-
sumption of the recklessness of desperation.
While there may be here and there a charge
to note, as there has been in every contest in
which we have ever been engaged, from one
side to the other, the aggregate vote in Au-
gusta county will show if we are not mistaken,
decided improvement upon the Liberal vote
of 1881, an increase largely greater than that to
the Bourbon following. This is our judgment
from tangible facts in our possession, but we
have no disposition to boast about il, OF excite
enthusiasm over matter that is not COM
summated, nor will not be until after the polls
are closed in November next. Too much con-
fidence is sometimes unhealthy, and we do not
want any mistakes to be made in this contest.
Let every Liberal go to work as if the result
depended upon his efforts, and then we may
depend upon an agreeable footing up as the
curtain falls on the 7th of November.

The Earth's Crust.

Mr. Robert Ward, writing in the Jour
nal Of Science, considers that the assump-
ton is q fallacy that all but the crust of
the earth is n mass of liquid fire. One of
the results of the Challenger mi other ex-
plorations of deep ocean, he says, is to de-
termine that the water towards its bottom
is freezing cold Considering that the
ocean covers nearly three-fourths of the
entire globe, this fact does lot support the
theory Of central heat accompanied by
radiation. The coolest water, it is true,
usually sinks by its greater weight toward
the bottom, and that, it may be said, &C
counts for its GOODNESS; but on the theory
of radiation the water of the ocean has
been for long geological ages supported
upon the thin crust of the earth, through
which the central heat has been con-
stantly escaping, and yet it is still of
freezing GOODNESS. Experience would say
that the heat n have escaped through
the water without warming it, because the
capacity of the water for heat is greater
than that of any other substance. We can
no more, he concludes, imagine such a ra-
diation and consequent accumulation of
heat in the ocean without the natural re-
suit of a great rise in the temperature, than
we can believe in n kettle resting for hours
on a hot fire without the usual result of
boiling water

Necessity Of Amusement

who would ave men and women work

In moderation even, is a waste Of time,
you have to send for the doctor, the un-
dertaker, or the superintendent of a
lunatic asylum. The philosophy that
would abjure innocent recreation would
also take away the spring and youth, the
former from the seasons, the latter from
human life. The fact is, human nature

are too irregular, too few and fur between.
We stand in need of invigornting sports
and plenty of healthy amusements. We
should be more intellectual even, if we
devoted less time and thought TO the
culture of the intellect we should be-
come more many-sided, less fantastical,
and should enjoy a healthier old age.

rational amusement had better blot out

lowers. Recreation is essential TO Der

Remarkable Giants.

The teeth and bones of the fossil ele-
plants found in Europe were assigned In
he sixteenth, seventeenth, and eight
zenith centuries to giants, and many are
the stories which were commonly report
cd about them-as, for example, that of
ne giant of Dauphine, in the reign of
Louis XIV. His remains were discover
ed by a surgeon, who stated that they
were enclosed in an enormous sepulchre
covered with q stone slab, bearing the
inscription I~euto5ochus rcr and that in
the vicinity there were also found coins
N medals, all of which showed the re-
mains TO be those of a giant king of the
Cimbri, who fought against Marius.
However, the original owner of these
bones, thought not of the coins, was
proved to have been an elephant. The
story of Teutobochus is even excelled by
that of another giant, called the giant OF
Lucerne, whose remains were dug up
and examined by q celebrated Profess
or of the Basic, who described them as
of human origin, and was skilful enough
TO put them together SO as to resemble a
giant no less than twenty-six feet high.
For some time the deluded people of
Lucerne paid homage to this elephan-
tine prodigy, until the scales were re-
moved from their eyes by ~Blumenbach,
who pronounced to their astonishment
that the giant, as it lay in state at the
Jesuits' College, was but the skeleton of
IN elephant.
