4 Setback 10 NIahone.

The great ''anti-BOurbOn" movement.
which was planned on paper some time
ago. met with no success in the South save
in Virginia. 1t succeeded there because
Malone and his lieutenants seized upon
the REIMBURSEMENT issue and won
the support Of the advocates OF
reputation. The impetus given TO the
movement survived till the last campaign,
and Malone thus won a second but by no
means iattering victory. His course in
the senate, however, has compelled
reputable Virginians who mistakenly
followed him % inquire whittier he would
lead them. That inquiry was not difficult
To answer, but il j. now no longer neces-
saTy for any man in the Old Dominion 10
put it 10 himself.
The decision Of the Supreme Court Of
the United states sustaining the ''Riddle.
berger" bill dispOses Of the Virginia debt
question. Accordingly the question pre-
scented 70 Virginians, who have supported
Malone in the matter Of the settlement Of
the state debt, Is whether they are willing
q indOrse the theories and practices OF
Radicalism.
Riddleberger has declared himself in
effect a Republican. True, be and his
colleague will be able to dis
pense the FEDERAL patronage
in Virginia. and thus retain the support
OF many former Democrats, but il is more
than likely that the majority Of their mis-
taken followers will retrace their course
and return TO the Democratic camp. The
free ballot and fair count" cant has been
completely exposed, and the only induce.
ment Malone and his puppet can offer is
the .-spOils.r This would be a powerful
argument if there were enough offices "a
bestOw. but the number is limited, and
there is nothing in Radicalism itself Il
commend it to the majority Of the men who
declared for readjustment.
Malone and Riddleberger will have need
Of consummate generalship to hold TO-
gether the army with which they won
their victories, and il il hard.
~ likely that they can do 50.
should they fail, they will serve out their
terms, but will be objects OF contempt
alike 10 their allies and their foes. Rid
dleberger had little to lose and much to
gain by his course; but Malone forfeited
whatever claim he had 10 the respect OF
patriotic Virginians by his betrayal Of the
trust repOsed in him.

The Montgomery AdUertiSer, noting the
publication of the minutes of the fiftieth
session Of the Alabama Conference Of the
NJ. F. Church, says that the total number
Of churches in the Conference is AS, a de-
crease Of five as compared with 1881.
Total white membership Of the churches
composing the Conference. for the year
1852, is given at 81, 300, an increase Of $40
as compared with the year before. The
colOred membership for 1882 was 179,
against IS for the year 1881. The num-
Der Of Sunday schools reported is
400, with 17,Sl3 enrolled pupils
This is an increase over 1881 Of o schools
and $50 pupils. The total value Of all thu
churches was reported as $40, $50, an in
crease Of $3.50 as compared with the year
previous. Other church property was re-
ported at $3.50, 2jj, an increase OF $3j, 276.
For the year 1882 the total amount paid
the nine Presiding Elders was S1O,sl7 30;
to pastors in charge, $6O,2Oj 10; for
Bishops, $l,147 30. The total amount col
lected in the Conference for the various
funds and objects was S1l9,l73 10. Alto
gether the report shows a healthy growth
and a gratifying prosperity.
The New York Herald, under display
head, acknowledges the reception of Sa.
yannah's contribution TO the fund for the
relief OF the sufferers by the floods in the
Ohio Valley and remarks: The wide
reaching interest felt in the Herald flood
fund was shown on Wednesday last, when
a draft for $500 came by cable all the
way from Switzerland. To-day we re-
cord a donation Of 81 ,S57 81 from the citi-
zens Of the city Of Savannah, Ga. This
contribution is a proof of the close bond
Of union that now cements the North and
the South as one homogeneous people, and
the example thus set by these citizens Of
Georgia is one that should be followed in
other States"

Perhaps Dr. Anderson's campaign

Jay Gould has retired. After boy
hood and manhood of incessant labor
he is at last going to take long holi-
day and see how little play would
go. His fortune is estimated in round
numbers at $1O0,O00,0O0, nearly all in
vested in securities, and his son George
is now to conduct the forces which
wealth like this enables leader to
command.
George Gould is not like his father.
He is what is called bright and clever
in rich young men, but even great
many of his associates say that he
does not know enough to go i'll doors
when it rains. He is ambitious, who
would not be ambitious in the pres
ence of such man as his father, but
he lacks the mental power, the quick
decision, the combination of the
shrewdness of the Tombs shyster, and
the ability to grasp large questions
which characterize the statesman and
the general. He may be perfectly safe
as long as he remains in the leading
strings of his former partners, but the
name of Gould will cease to sway the
fortunes of Wall Street, except at the
times when it can crush by the mere
bulk of the money behind it.
