Had the Republican party, headed
by the President of the United States,
deliberately set at work to plant
throughout the State of Virginia-that
Commonwealth of glorious history and
traditions-the germs of smallpox or
yellow fever, it would have received, as
it would have deserved, the execration
of every Christian people. And yet,
had the Republican party done that
very thing. the cruelty of the act would
hardly have been greater than it was
when it systematically set at work to de-
liver tho Old Dominion, bound hand and
foot, into the clutches of the repudiator
and political freebooter, Malone. The
decent portion of the people of Virginia
claim, and with show of reason that
we are not prepared to gainsay. that no
other State in the Union is cursed with
such loathsome species of boss tyran-
ny as they are. That appears to be
true. There are bosses in plenty in 9TH
er States. but there are none more sly or
cunning than Malone, none more des-
perately INSCRIPTIONS. and none. who
IN the past two years have had the as
sistance of the National Republican par
ty with its influence and its money, to
the same extent, as this dirty social pi-
rate. There does not seem to be q single
redeeming feature in his character, as
measured by his acts. He is as subtle
as the fox, as selfish as the hog, and as
vile as the jackal. Turn State
over to such man, and God help the
people! Hardly day passes when he
does not give some new proof, not only
of his ill-gotten power, but of the de-
testable methods and motives which
help to defile his use of it. He has no
use for men of character, or men of
ability. From his relations to the Re-
publican party and the Administration,
he is almost absolute in the distribution
of patronage, and he is filling up the
list OF appointments for Federal ratifica-
ton with the most abandoned political
tools to be found in the whole breadth
of the Commonwealth. He is taking
men from the gutter to displace men of
ability and good regulations, in the
post-offices and other positions of re-
sponsibility and profit. Like Arab Bey,
he is calling around his standard eie-
ments that he can keep and make effect
i've by opportunities for loot and lust.
He is without the instincts of a civilized
being, for he has passions and an ambi-
ton that civilization never elevates or
changes, unless to intensity their base
quality. But it NAV be asked, will not
the people rise in their might and de-
stroy this moral monsterp Undoubted-
ly they will, but it will take time. They
could have taken care of their State
from the beginning had Malone been
obliged to carry forward his plans I'M
aided, but he had all the resources that
he needed ready at his hand, placed
there by Republican President. and if
q load of deep political damnation does
not await him and his party for that
treachery TO great State. then is just
ice parGlyzed as well as blind. " ash

EGYPT,S TROUBLES.

A dispatch from Constantinople, 10Th, saws
The Sultan is understood to be more ayerse
than ever to the issuance of proclamation
against Arab Pasha and the acceptance of a
proposal for military interference. The IA
natical party are for a moment entirely in the
ascendant. The growing sympathy of the
people here with Arab Pasha is daily causing
the palace increased anxiety. Several arrests
have already been made of persons too
strongly outspoken in their support of Arab.
Inlammatory religious preaching has been
prevalent in the mosques.
Dispatches from Egypt the 2lst give an &C
count of fight near Chalouf, in which por-
ton of Arabi's men were defeated by the
Highlanders. The British occupy Nefch, the
Arabs having abandoned Ghemileh and with
drawn to Damietta. The second army di.
vision has been ordered to hold itself in readi-
ness to pursue the enemy in event of their
retreat.
Alexandria dispatches, 22d, say Arab Pa
sha is erecting fresh works and strengthen
ing his position. A party of fifty Bedouins
crept up and pillaged two villages in the Vi
cinity of Meks. They carried off three
watchmen. The Khedive has issued another
decree to the authorities to implicitly obey
Gen. Woolsey, who he says is authorized to
restore order in Egypt. Considerable skirmish-
ing seems to be going on, and the report that
Arab had withdra wn large part of his
troops from the British front is denied Arab
dined with DeLesseps recently, and reported
his troops were fortified at Tell ell Kebir.
Arabi's troops have been again repulsed in a
skirrnish with the Highlanders.
Egyptian advices, 23d: The Austrian gun
boat Nautilus, bound from Port Said to Alex
andria, passed Aboukir, and the commander
seeing white flag flying on the Abourkir
forts, supposed they were in possession of the
British, and sent boat ashore with an officer
and twelve men, who were made prisoners by
the Egyptians. The British have captured
Ruchdi Pasha, formerly the Khedive's Minis
ter of Finance, and Zulfikar Pasha
of the Khedive's household, who
had espoused the cause of Arab
Pasha. The military police arrested nine
teen Greeks who were pillaging in the Arab
quarter in Ismalia. Ten of the prisoners were
shot. Thirty thousand Beduoin cavalry are
reported in the vicinity of Kantara. The
British forces now hold the Suez canal
throughout the entire length. According Ia
| authentic information Arab Pasha has q, 0OC
men at Kafir ell Dwar. Large numbers of men
are constantly entrenching at Tel ell Kebir
and there is little doubt that the big fight o
the war will occur there.

Farcical and DiaphanOus.

The Cabinet meeting to decide the
official status of Jay Hubbell ct al, and
their right to levy assessments upon
Federal employees, was farcical and
diaphanous enough to satisfy the most
intense admirer of diplomatic quackery,
but we have given it credit for discuss
ing question submitted by real per-
son, even though it had especially en-
gagged that person for one appearance
only to assume the role of John Doe or
Richard Roe. But it appears that in
the grand army of over 100, 900 officers
and employees there was not one who
would volunteer to make himself
supremacy ridiculous by submitting a
question that common sense and COM
mon discretion might have settled to his
Individual satisfaction, at least; and,
according to the New York Times, "A.
Thomas, chief of division" is a myth,
legal fiction. This is indeed humili-
ating now that it is found out. 1t in
tensities the triviality of this whole
business. 1t places those who are party
to it on a moral plane with the class of
men whom Mr.. Pickwick found at the
entrance to the Fleet, anxious, for q
shilling, to 90 his bail to any amount.
1t adds to the situation an element of
contemptibleness which it did not have
before. But it is not wholly upon the
grounds stated that this old and cheap
device deserves the condemnation of
every man who believes honesty is the
best policy, and who regards official
dignity as an official virtue. 1t is a
positive insult to the Thomas family,
which is far-reaching in its branches
and of exceptional responsibility and
talent. We are sure that that other A.
Thomas who has elevated the thoughts
and stirred the emotions of millions
would disown his name sake, and Theo-
dore. another representative of the mu-
steal strain, could hardly do less. Then
look at all the warriors and statesmen
upon whom it reflects. There were our
Generals of that name whose memories
are and ever will be fragrant. There
was Robert B. Thomas, the prophet.
There was Doubling Thomas, who, al
though too much of positivist to rise
to the level of a great but rare occasion.
was nevertheless good fellow and a
well-meaning rlan. We might extend
the list to great length and find illus
trious representatives of it in almost
every generation of mankind. Even
John Thomas is useful person in his
way. To attach to that name then the
stigma of being such a gaudy, cream
tinted, 24-carat ass as the 20 A. Thomas
Of the Comptroller's Office would have
been to submit the question credited to
him, is wanton insult and cruelty. Why
not have taken q name that such non
sense could not hurt. Why not have
said that the late Charles Jules Guiteau
had made last request on the scaffold
that for the benefit of the country of
which he was so fond, the Administra-
hon should pass upon the legality of
this method of raising the wind? 1t
wouldn't have increased the absurdity
of the whole business an Boston
Statesman.

generally credited. It is also stated that while
Arab Pasha's Generals are fully advised of
the British movements, the latter are ignorant
OF the movements of the Egyptians. The ad-
vance of heavy cavalry and marine artillery has
commenced from Ismalia, and while the
British cavalry advanced the enemy shelled
them, wounding few men and horses. 1t

as having ragged on that island for two
weeks during the past spring. The air

degree that it was impossible to see for
more than short distance, and the sun
was rarely visible, though the sky was
clear of clouds. Nobody ventured out of
his house except spon matters of most
urgent necessity, and many who were
exposed to the storm were frozen. The
sand penetrated into the houses through
the minutest crevices. 1t was found
mixed with articles of food and drink,
