The statement from Richmond that
Frederick Douglass was about to take the
stump IL Virginia for the straightout Re.
publican ticket, although promptly denied
by him, is still going tho rounds of the
press. No Faith whatever was felt in tho
statement, even before it's denial by Mr..
Douglass. Mr.. Douglass holds lucra-
tive Federal Office i'm tho district, and no
matter what his private opinions may be,
he is too much Of q politician to fly in tho
face of All administration which in it's in
tcrferencc in state affairs has prostitutcd
its power and Patronage to Az extent
WHICH no preceding administration, not
even that OF Grant, had the hartiihood to
essay. The whole federal patronage of
Virginia had been placed at the disposal
of Mr.. Malone and the cold shoulder
turned to Republicans in that state who
were the thickcst in the battle for their
party ut the time when he was the bitter
est and most hidebound of Bourbons.
An order has just been issued from the
postOffice department dismissins 4 num-
Der of postmasters in Virginia, and it is
officially stated that they arc removed ut
the request of Senator Mahonc. Ono of
these dismissed postmasters is woman,
which shows to what length of vengeance
the founder of the party which falsely
and impudently claims freedom of opinion
as one of its cornsr-stoncs will go to pun
ish those who venture to oppose
his pestlent doctrines. More than three
fuurths of the government employees
in Washington think in their hearts
that this Virginia alliance which the AL
miliistration has made is degrading and
disgraceful to the Republican party, yet
such Is the terror exercised over opinion
that they scarcely dare whisper their Sell
timents ; therefore it goes without saying
that no ono imagined for one moment
that MIR. Douglass Or any other federal
officc-holder who was not prepared to sur
render his place would venture to express
an independent opinion on what is without
exception the greatest mOnstrOsity ever
known in American politics.
The president has also given to that
wing Of tho Republican party which is in
the coalition movement in North Carolina
tho power to dispense the federal patron
ago in tha- state, and recently eight NOrtl,
Carolina pOstmaSterS were removed for
opposing the Coalition movement. Unlike
the nnholy alliance in Virginia, the North
Carolina coalition movement has some re-
deeming elements in it, but it is not apt to
amount to much. Glowing accounts of
it's prospects have recently been sent to
Washington, but severa! of tho most sa-
gaciOus Republicans in the state say the
facts arc not as alleged, and that the
regular Democratic ticket will triumph, as
usual.

Considerable interest was manifested in

Of Aarper's Weekly.

"A snort DsOC lnC1S1v0 Letter from the Editor
OF Harper's Weekly.
George William Curtis, the prominent
civil service refOrmer and editor of Har-
per's Weekly, has written letter to VIM.
Potts, secretary of tho New York Civil
Service reform association, saying:
81 have to day returned from a run into
Vermont, and l hasten to answer your
astonished and astonishing inquiry, which
[ have just received whether [ ad-
visc Republicans to vote for Judge
Folger, by saying III the most en-
phatic manner that / do not ad-
wise, have nc. advised and shall not ad-
wise course SO totally ropugnant to all
my political convictions of my sense Of
public duty. The advice in Harper's
Weekly to which you ailudo was not mine
and was published hurricdly, with the
press waiting, in my absence and without
my knowledge. Judge Folger's ability
and character are not in question, but his
nomination is. That nomination was pro-
cured by tho combined power Of fraud
and patronage, and to support it at the
polls would bc to acquiesce in fraud
and patronage as legitimate forces in
a nominating convention. Every good
citizen is bound to resist to tho utmost
such a wrong to free institutions, and the
only effectual way in which tho voters can
emancipate themselves from tho corrupt
and debasing rule of machine is to de-
feat its candidates. This, 1 believe, will
be done decisively by the Republican
voters of New York and Pennsylvania at
tho election Of this autumn. They will
see their party Uoieated rather than fraud
and corruption OF patronage triumphant.
Events in both states show that no graver
political peril now confrOnts the country
than the complete subjugation of party by
unscrupulcus cabals, which bIibe with
