An Active Campaign.

II the signs OF the times may be trusted,
Virginia is going to be q lively Common
wealth during the next three months.
Never since General MALONE started In the
path which has led him into the Republican
party have the Democrats OF Virginia been,
so early in the campaign, as buoyant, active.
and aggressive as now. We hear favorable
news from almost every quarter OF the
State. The Democratic clans are muster

again have they been defeated, as a result
OF their own apathy. Even last year, when

Car.RObbers Caught.

HOW A DESPERATE GANG OF THIEVES WAS
BROKEN Up by A SHARP DETECTIVE.
A It. LOUIS special says: Three weeks
ago an old man named George Mclean,
employed by the Western Union Telegraph
COMPANY as Waterman to look after their
wires running between East 81. Louis and
BROOKLYN, was shot and severely injured
by three coloIcd men, whom he detected
i'm the act Of breaking into 4 freight-car
standing on the Wabash railroad track.
Acting upon the clue provided by this
occurrence, Chief OF Railroad Detect

been endeayOring TO locate robbers

and freicht-cars on the other side OF
the river, and had just succeeded in land

who had East Louis as their base Of Opc-
rations. sent to Brooklyn one OF his
| shrewdest detectives, who very soon sue
ceeded in discovering the gang, making
their acquaintance, and finally becoming
one Of them. They confessed their rob-
/ berries 10 him, described their methods,
and even acknowledged being the same
who shot the old Waterman. In some way
! they became appraised OF their new cOnfed-
crates character. and notified him TO leave
| tie place, threatening him with death il he
did not. The time they allowed him in
which to leave having elapsed. they last
| Wednesday organized party to hunt him
up and Kill him, and in trying to diSperse the
armed gang Henry Green, city marshal Of
Brooklyn, was killed in a fight with Bill
Jones, ITS leader, who is now laid up with
4 a broken skull and with frightiul gunShot
wounds received in the encounter. The
detective, having escaped to st. Louis,
told all he knew TO Chief FurlOng, who,
| having secured warrants at Belleville yes
! tcrday, and going at midnight last night,
crossed to East st. Louis with posse OF six
and repaired to Brooklyn, where they sur
rounded the house in which the leaders Of
the rObber gang lived. \ hot encounter had
been anticipated, but the robbers, seeing
how all retreat was cut of, surrendered and
were taken to East ST. Louis and locked
! up. The captured We're Dick Lindsay, an
eX-conyict; his son Thomas. and Ellis

/ the parties who confessed TO the shooting
I OF old Mclean, and as the latter will i'm all

clever piece Of work. really breaks up the

OF the river. The robbers had stolen vast
amounts Of freight and stock, and the re-

A Mistake Corrected.

II seems 10 be idle to expect any north
crn journal 10 do justice to the Democrats
OF Virginia. Even paper so fair as the
Boston Herald charges that whilst IN
power they made no effort to pay the debt
of the State. win the Herald take notice
that more than eleven millions OF dollars
OF interest on the public debt was paid
from 1871 20 1881 under the operation OF
laws passed by Democratic Legislatures IN
Virginia; that in 1870 provision was made
by law for refunding the entire pubic
debt Of the State; that again in 1873
the McCUILOCH law was passed by the
Democrats and championed by them on
the hustings-a law which provided for
refundng the entire debt OF Virginia and
making the coupons Of the new bonds re-
ceivable for taxes! This law failed Of its
purpose because General MALONE called to
his and the Republicans OF the State, most
" negroes. who, added TO his white
forces, constituted a majority Of the men
who voted in 1879 and again in 1881,
and so elected Legislatures opposed to
carrying out the contract made in the Nc
CUILocu law. That 1t was the Republican
vote which enabled General MAmONE &c
elect the two Legislatures referred TO i.
evident from the fact that in 1880, when
there were three tickets in the field
namely, Republican, regular Demo
cratic, and MAHoNE-the Mah0neites
poilcd only about $1,000 votes in the State.
The Democrats of Virginia made a gal
liant fight in favor OF the MCCULLOcH bill.
A Republican President Of the United
States employed the entire influence OF his
Administration to defeat Their efforts. \
Republican Supreme Court Of the United
States has decided that the law is constitu-
tional which was passed by the MALONE
Legislature 10 render worthless the con-
tract TO receive the coupons for taxes. a
Republican press constantly repeats the
assertion that The Coalition party is the
only party in Virginia which has paid or
attempted to pay any pol ton Of the State
debt. The eleven millions OF dollars pad.
and the repeated attempts made by Demo-
cratic Legislatures to protect the States
creditors, are persistently ignored.
Under these circumstances the Lynch
burg Convention declared the purpose of
the Democrats TO be TO acquiesce in the
RmDLEEEEGER settlement, and TO discount
torrance all efforts to repeal the law under
which it is to he made. To have done
otherwise would have been Bourbon
ism" indeed. The Democrats Of Virginia
have done all, and more than all, that
could have been reasonably expected Of
them.
We have stated the amount paid under
Democratic measures to have been over
eleven millions Of dollars. The amount
was really several millions more, accord
ing 10 our recollection Of the facts; but as
we haven't the documents at hand con-
tanning statement OF those facts, we
quote the RIDDLEBERGER bill itself, which.
after stating the amount of the debt, adds:
LESS amount paid between July l,
1871, and October 1, 1851
In money 2,415.973 Sc
In coupons. S.7O7Ol5 o.
Or over eleven millions OF dollars.
