Richmond, Vs., 27.-The political sit
uation In Virgins grows more interest
ing and exciting IS the dAy OF election
draws near. Blaine's views upon Vir-
GINA expressed some DAYS since bad q
stirring effect whether or not he so 10.
tended and Mahone's negroes here have
begun upon bin and are doing all they
can 70 bellttle him, and his views. A
number ofrepuelicans who began acting
with Malone observe more caution in
in this District John Amber Smith,
republican, Mahene candidate for Con-
Rress. being asked whether be was q
Blaine or Arthur man, declined TO an
swer, and to night it ia rumorea that
Smith is to be Withdrawn by Malone and
strong Arthur candi late put in his
place. It is stated on high authority
that q prominent colored republican
from Washington will soon stump the
state, with Blame. It is understood that
Fred Douglas Is the party, and he warns
bis race II they affiliate with Malone
they need expect no sympathy from the
free republican party, which he predicts
will be dominant in this country within
year. Whether or not these reports
sre ell we'll grounded, certain it is that
Malone is using especial diligence to get
only stalwart candidates and is sssidu-
ously wedding out all weak kneed ones
he has evinced determination to draw
the line sharply between Blaine and
Arthur sympsthisers, and all the former
will be forced to retire. Rives, whose
forced withdrawal in the Fifth District Is
spoken of, is supposed to be tainted with
Blain eism, which was not offensive to
Malone till Blaine recently so unquivoc-
ally declared himself against the coali-
ton party in Virgtnia. In the meantime
the straight out republican party in this
state is gaining scceesions, aud perfecting
its organization. Whether or not they
will be able TO eject their ticket, is mat
ter for conjecture, but the fact that there
a:e earnest aspirants for the straight ont
nomiD alton in all districts would seem
TO indicate that they are encouraged with
strong hopes IF success. Blaine is IN
doubtedly strong in Virginia. he has
intimat that he will gain many aces
sions &c his ranks and give Malone much
trouble. Its certain that the resdjuster
leader is more disturbed by this Blaine
opposition than by anything which has
yet come in his way.

ought not to be wholly irresponsible, for
either extreme is dangerous. In many in
stances with us journalism is prostituted to
merely private, disreputable and selfish

as the censor locked press of Europe.

"JupcE TAYLOR, of Ohio, is bound to put
stop to the practice of granting leaves of
absence to members OF congress. He says
it is getting to be nuisance, II is, no

doubt as to whether it is an unmixed evil.
When man is away he can't do any mis-

is gained in this way. JUICE TAyLoR's mo-

challenge to investigate wiM Mr.. Stone

ut would be much more manly in" the
editor Of the Republican not to lie so use
lessly about SO small matter. Mr. Stone
never challenged" the editor of the FREE
TRADER to investigate the record with"
him, but made a vague threat of making
ing such an Investigation himself, which
the FREE TRADER advised HIM to do. 1t
would also be much more "manly" III the

controversy with him. Kicked out OF Mis-
souri, as q jayhawker, instead of "burrow-
