Now THAT the first attempt TO have
rj.htcd the wrong done TO Virginia 10y Ma
homes returning board, when they gave GER
ticacs to seats in the Us. House ofRepre-
scntatives to people not entitled TO them, has
failed by reason Of the impr%c;icable way III
which it was made, it is hoped that cx-
Speaker Randall, whom the State has sup
ported in all his contests in which she could
take part, will lend her his parliamentary
aid, and make ii his business to see that the
Elections Committee, when appointed, shall
be instructed TO present their reports in Il c
Virginia cases at the earliest possible NC
ment, so that the House shall not be delay
ed in giving the seats belonging to Virginia
to those who are rightfully entitled to them.
If Mr.. Speaker Carlisle would please the
democrats of Virginia, he will, in addition
to giving Mr. Randall the craftsmanship of
the Appropriations Committee, make him u
member of the Elections Committee The
duties Of the first place will be very arduous
to be sure, and will not leave Mr.. Randall
much time to devote to the latter, and he
would, therefore, probably ask to be ex-
clsed were the case different, but in consid-
alton of all the circumstances he might be
induced 10 serve as q member of the Elec-
tons Committee, aud thereby do Virginia
a favor which she will not be slow to re-
turn when she has chance.

SENATOR FRyE's plan for apportioning
representation in thcnext national republican
convention, which will probably be adopted
by the national republican committee which
met in Washington to-day, will prove a
disastrous blow TO Mr.. Arthur by greatly
diminishing the representation from those
States in which no republican candidate
could get an electoral vote, but whose dele
cations 10 the convention he can control, and
BY increasing in an inverse ratio, the repre-
sentatops from republican States whose
delegations arc not subject to bis influences.

TIE REPUBLICAN PARTY of Virginia, the
men who were republicans when it required
physical as well rs moral courage TO be re.
publicans, and who have been true and con-
sistent party men ever since, and who de-
clare that they will support the nominee OF
the next national republican convention
whomsoevcr he may be, are forced, by tie
remarkable proceedings of the Arthur adj
mnistration, to ask political recognition OF
the national republican committee. At the
same time men who, until they found the
democrats would not advance them, were
Tie most ultra and proscriptive democrats,
who said Southern republicans were apps
tates for the price of their npOstasy, who
even now refuse to call themselves repubi-
cans, and who say they will only vote for
the republican candidate for the next Presi-
dcncy provided he will be for them, don't
ask, but demand, political recognition from
the national republican committee. Which
oac of the rivals for recognition" will be
successful has not yet been determined but a.
the latter have two votes in the u. s. Senate
and have Just been treated with such dis
tinguished consideration by the republicans
of that body, betting men would not hest
tate long on which to stake their money.
In the history of American politics there is
no parallel 10 the treatment The republicans
Of Virginia have received from the national
republican party.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10.

GEN. WICKAM, in order TO show that the
supporters Of good government IN virginia
were sincere in the profession of principles
unon which they succeeded in carrying the
recent election, offered a resolution III the
State Senate Monday, prohibiting Inc
Treasurer from returning money paid for
taxes and accepting coupons in It's stead,
until special appropriation shall be made
for that purpose. In his speech on the res
olution he said that while he was pro
bounced debt payer, the people of the State
had decided that the debt should be settled
upou the plan of 1882, and that as the only
way 70 keep the debt question out OF poll
tics and thereby preserve good government
in the State was to abide by that decision,
he and the party with which he acted IN
State matters were determined to promote
that settlement by all the legitimate means
in their power, aud that consequently 1t was
their intention to stay the hands of the CO.
alition officers of the Government, who
seem recently not only to have abandoned
their Efforts to prevent the depletion Of the
Treasury by coupons butte ne offering every
facility for their reception in payment OF
taxes" This is the view ofthc case taken by
almost every man in the State who supported
the anti Malone ticket al the last election
even though, before the I.yuuhburg conven'
ton, he may have denounced lheHiddlcberser
bill ~ Il h.,rcf;.ced repudating scheme. The
debt uuvcv- OF Virginia used every means in
their power to settle the debt on terms hon
orablc ta the STATE and satisfactory to the
creditors, but finding thar persistence in
their efforts to secure that end meant utter
ruin to all the moral and material Interests
OF the State, by enabling the Mahoneites tc
retain possession Of the State government
they wisely determined TO accept the situa
ton and hy abandoning he debt preserve the
State from the appalling danger that threat
ened it. General Wickham, therefore
thought debt paying republican, only voice:
the prevailing opinion of the democracy o
the State. when he says he intends to abide
by the platform Of the democratic conven
ton at Lynchburg. If this does not tel
when the state debt trouble will cease,
it unquestionably does tell who is RESPONSE
BILE for perpetuating that trouble.

ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWSTER thinks
that the national and not the State govern

executive officers. He also thinks that mail
robbers are a superior sort Of criminals, and
should not be compelled to associate with

But few people now pay any attention TO
what the banged and furbelowed Attorney

that there has been more corruption in them

THE SANITARY RESOURCES OF THE
CITY.


Under the existing regulations the
sanitary concerns of the city are practi-
cally in the hands, or depending upon
the supervision, of single man.
DIR. EDWARDS, who now has this re-
sponsibility resting upon his shoulders,
comedies that it Is too big JOB for one
man.
Nor Is it expected Of him that he will
devote his entire time and strength to
it. The salary paid would not justify
it and does not indicate that the city ex-
poets it.
The city is reported in filthy condi-
ton. The warm weather will be upon
us in q few weeks. The result will be a
mortality thai will probably awaken
the authorities to a sense of the needs of
this department.
Why not act in advance of dire re-
suits? Turn the sanitary affairs OF the
city over to the State Board of Health.
They will take care of the interests of
the city in this beh If more iutell-
gently and with no more expense than
now required. All the large towns of
the State are doing this, and we believe
it would be good move for our city.

GROWING INTERESTING.

The interest in our amendment mud
die seems to be spreading even into
other States; and some Of our Ohio
readers have taken hold and are dis
posed to help US discuss 1t.
In the multitude Of counsel there Is
safety. In the course of time we will
have collected all the authorities and
obtained the most valuable opinions
and (prohably) be able to strike a bal
ance on one side or the other.
There are yet several Of our leading
jurists whose opinions Oh this import
ant question are desired by the public
and have been requested of us. Among
these we may name Hon. CHAs. J..
FAULKNER, ST., Hon. EDWIN MAX
WELL, Hon. J. J. DAVIS, Judge
JAMES H. FERGUSON, Judge r.
l.. BERKSHIRE aud others. We
have been specially requested to publish
the opinions of the gentlemen named.
The opinions of these and many other
leading lawyers OF the State would
largely contribute to settle the question,
and the columns Of the REGISTER are
freely open to them.
We will shortly lay before our readers
the opinion Of Hon. DANIEL LAMB, OF
this city, over his own signature. The
points of Mr.. LAMBS position We have
already stated, but as there have been
some insinuatlons from certain quar-
ter that probably al opinion Mr.. LAMB
would give over his own signature
would differ somewhat from that stated
by us, Mr. LAMB will, at our special
request, allow the public to see how far
he has been misrepresented.
