clean Out the Aueean Stables.

We are glad TO see that the New York
Journal OF Commerce continues TO war
on the internai-revenuc spies and inform
ers, and reitcrates ITS opinion that the
whole system should be abolished. In reply
to correspondent who has criticised and
misrepresented Its position In the matter,
our contemporary, in its issue OF Friday,
after showing that It did not defend eva
sions OF the law as charged, but simply
stated facts which In It's judgment justify
the repeal Of the law, says:
"About ten thousand oflice-holders and
agents are employed in administering the
excise system at an expense TO the country
OF nearly six million dollars. These office
holders are mostly INSCRIPTIONS partl-
sans: q large number OF them are employ
ed rs spies and detectives; and the very
nature OF their employment gives them an
opportunity TO exercise that corrupt and
corr,lpting use OF power which we noted
"a an argument against the continuance OF
the system. We do not justify such use OF
delegated authority, but IL is notorious
fact that for party purposes there IS
no more demoralizing influence at work
In the country. As the revenue is not
needed. we would dismiss the agents and
remand them to useful secular employ
ments whereby from consumers OF the pro-
duct of other mems toll they may be
changed 10 producers, and learn TO eat their
bread In the sweat OF their own face. We
reckon that with the earnings OF such a
force turned back into the channels OF in
dustry. added TO the five and half mill
lions paid out directly for their support
and the other expenses OF collection, over
ten millions might be annually gained to
the country"
ave oppose all such law-breaking and
murder as strongly as any one, but we can
not be blind to the fact that a system which
provokes such armed opposition is not u
desirable one for free country which
does not desire to enforce its leyies Tor or
binary revenue at the point Of the bayonet.
III II were not for the hold upon political
power this gives TO the central authority,
through this army OF officials, the internal
revenue system would have passed away
with the war which called it into being.
And this is all that gives any present rea-
son for its maintenance"
This is precisely the ground the Dispatch
has always taken in discussing the lniqui-
tous features OF the internal-gevenue sys-
tenn as a means OF raising revenue las well rs
its political abuses. And we know whereof
we speak. No stronger proof OF "the fact
that for party purposes there is no more
demoraizing influence at work in the
country" could be asked than was afforded
by the campaign through which Virginia
has Just passed. The revenue spies and
iniormers were banded together solidly in
support OF the worst enemy OF the State.
and did as much if not more than any
other class to array the blacks against the
intelligent whites and delude or coerce
the ignorant whites into the support OF a
movement that was antagonistic to their
best interest. Yes. the Journal OF Com
merce is right. The facts justify the repeal
Of the law and cleaning out OF the Au-
gean stables.

An EXPOSE OF THE MANNER IN WHICH MAJOR
erTnERl ms TELEGRAM WAS GARBLED.

AN EXPOSE OF THE MANNER IN WHICH MAJOR
sUTHERLIN's TELEGRAM WAS GARBLED.
Elsewhere we state that we dismiss Burr,
the staff correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Press. and his libel regarding the Danyille
riot. Since that paragraph was written
and put in type, however, we have re-
ceived the following telegram from Major
w. T. Sutherlip:
DANvILLE. November 10.-1o the Dis
patch: | send you copy OF my telegram
to +. A. Burr, OF the Philadelphia Press,
referred to in a Geographic dispatch from
Philadelphia in your paper OF to-day, in
which my name is mentioned. Please
publish. W. /. SUTHERLIN.
The copy OF the telegram to Burr is as
follows:
"DANvILLE. VA, November 5.-T0 Mr.
+. A. Burr, Phitadeiphiq Press, Rich
mond. Va: Your telegram received. /
refer YOU to the New York Herald OF Sun
day. 1t was prepared 10y q friend OF Mayor
Johnston, Coaiitionist, and the causes are
a little colOred on that side politically, but
his statement OF the riot is pretty correct.
Significance 1t shows how the negroes
can be operated on by their inflammatory
aud incendiary leaders. Ny house man
servant said to me to-day that he thought
the Government ought TO give them see
ton OF country in which they could live to
themselves. The development OF this riot
proves that something ought to he done.
/ think the negro leaders are fast educating
the negroes to demand full social equality
and TO be satisfied with nothing less. This
the southern whites will never submit to,
and in the end will lead TO much blood
shed il something is not done TO relieve
the situation. W. L. SUTHERLlN."
Burr, in reproducing Major Sutherlin's
telegram in the Philadelphia Press OF yes
terday, commences it, This shows how
the negroes can be operated on" &C., thus,
it will he observed, emitting a most inn
portant sentence in order to sustain the
falsehood that his sources OF information
were entirely anti-Coalition. and agreed in
showing that the affair was an unproyoked
and premeditlted assault upon the negroes,
which involved the death OF nearly score
OF them and the woundng OF rs many
more. Further comment is unnecessary.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC DUTY.-H the
Virginia Democrats really have majority
in the next Virginia Legislature duty OF
the most imperative character rests upon
them. That duty is to formally inyalidate
the action Of the Democratic Convention
which declared few months ago that the
party accepted the Riddleberger act as
! final settlement OF Virginia's debt. Until
the Democrats do that, and proceed TO set
tle honestly with the bondholders, the
faint Of Reputation will rest upon them as
II does upon the Republican party in Vir-
charlottesville Courier Journal.
That is to say. they ought to be guilty Of
n dishonorable act. Such advice will not
be taken in Virginia. We would be fools
indeed II, after the voters have at two elec-
lions declared emphatically that they will
not pay the debt as ascertained by the fund
Ing bin OF 1871, we should falsiiy our
pledges made at Lynchburg, deceive the
people, show the voters that they were de-
frauded out OF their suffrages, and disgrace
ourselves the world over. We should be
doubly damned. The public outside Of
Virginia do not understand our situation.
Let us explain It.
Virginia owed cas-, 100000 in 1871. She
turned over s15,0o0,000 Of 1t TO West Vir.
giuia. I'VE use round numbers.) None
OF this latter sum has been paid-n a dol
lar. Principal and interest, II now amounts
to S25,OOO,000. West Virginia does moi
acknowledge that she owes any OF 1t. II
she ever pays dollar OF il we shall be
disappointed. She couldn't pay much Of
It II she were disposed so to do. But LEI
us suppose that she will pay (she will never
do III ten millions. Are we in Virginia to
pay the other sl5,OOO,00O? Pshawl Such
talk Is idle. But II we don't, isn't that re-
pudiation In the Courier Journals opin.
ioni
But that is not all. vireinia's own
share, as assumed by her in 1871, was. as
we have said, sSO,oO0,0OO. We calculate
that II Is now between thirty.fye and forty
millions. as Virginia has paid only twelve
to fifteen millions Of dollars OF interest on
1t. How can Virginia pay sneh debts
The whole story Is that Virginia must

morally hers. She must also repudiate Tor
disown) fifteen or more millions Of the two
thirds she took to herself-if for no other
reason, because the people have twice
soiemnly decided at the ballos-box that
they will not pay the whole, and there is
no constitutional way that We know

Dear Sir,-The Richmond Wing OF No
yember It'll says:
Jones, leading colored Resdiuster, OF
Charles City county, was shot and killed
Sunday night"
Not so. At public meeting in this
county the negro Jones referred to was
abusive and insolent to white man, and
was struck with stick, but injured very
slightly. This occurred In fight between
the Straightouts and Readiusters, and the
Democrats present were peace-makers, and
by securing the services Of the magistrates
prevented general fight. B.

Now that the Virginia election Is over,
and there is no more reason for hiding its
real animus, the Washington Republican,
General Mahone's morning Washington
organ. the paper which. in an ungafded
moment, declared it to be traitorous to re-
we're the memory Of Albert Sidney john
ston, throws off all disguise, shows itself
IN its real boOdy-shirt colors, denounces
the white people OF Virginia as blood
thirsty. murderous rebels at heart, who
think no more Of killing negro than a
dog, and who nurse their enmity to the
people who conquered them. 1t also tells
them in effect that though they could con-
duct their recent State election as they
pleased. next fall the Arthur Administra-
ton Will see that United States deputy
marshals and United States troops will
conduct their election for them. Poor
''George!" The loss OF Mahone's power
and influence, and with them his Cor
ham's) chance for the secretaryship OF the
United States Senate, renders him reck-
less. He had better return to California
and try to settle down and brace up.-Al-
