THE New YORK World says: The reso'
luton in the Virginia Legislature request
inc General Malone to resign his seat IN Inc
l.. :. Senate, will have about as much ELECT
ON the General as the gongs beaten by the
Chinese have upon solar eclipse" Doubt
less the Horld thinks it should have no more
effect But the II'orid thinks many things
that better minded journals do not think
for instance. that there should he no la"
AGAINST miScescnation. But would Il similar
T.. $ ,u ion passed by majority OF TIC
LEGISLATURE of Senator Anthunys, Senator
Edmunds', Senator Morrill's, or any other
reputable Northern republican Senator'S
State have no more effect upon him than
gong has upon an eclipse? Why, he would
resign on the instant, Is any other hiSh-mihd-
ed, respected, and self respecting man
would do under similar circumstances; and
the fact that General Malone will not do Sc
shows that he is as devoid of nice feeling as
he is of other high-toned qualities.

THE Philadelphia Press concclves the ldea'
and other stalwart republican newspapers
copv it, that the Southern representative
in Congress who has mt got his desk full OF
civil war claims ready to present at the llrSt
onpor.unily has no proper appreciation o'
the democratic majority in the House"
Which shows that the Press and its copylSts
referred to are rs ignorant of the true feel
n.s of the Southern people as they are OF
those of Anum No class Of people III the
Union are. or have more right TO be,
SO opposed to the payment of Southern
cinims MS those of the South, Tor
such claims could only have been brought
by these who while living in the South at
the fine Of her extremity, were her enemies.
No true Southern man could have clam
a,,ainet the Government for injuries received
during the war. True Southern people
staked all they had on the issue OF the war,
ami bore their losses like men.

The National Republican asks if there is
deeper depth of infamy than the grand
jury ofDanville have reached? Yes, that to
which the ex-boss descended when he signed
his name to the mandacious address TO the
republicans of the North, slandering and
libeling the white people Of his own State.
The grand jury reached no depth of infamy
Their findings We're truthful, and are sus-
tanned by the testimony OF all intelligent
and unprecedented witnesses.

THE ELECTION cases in South Carolina
though tried before republican United
States judges, and by republican and
negro juries, and prosecuted by repub-
lican United States Attorneys, result in eth
or misrials or acquittals. This was just
what every body expected, as the indict-
ments were the result Of partisan feeling
and had no substantial foundation. But for
all That, the cx-bosss morning organ, OF
Washington, abuses the Charleston newsps-
pers fortheirjustifa0le criticism ofthe parties
prosecuting these cases. Has the organ so
soon forgotten how it abused the prosecu-
tors in the Star route cases?

New Coat OF ARMs.-Col. Sherwin Nc
Craze, state librarian, has been engaged for a
long number Of years in reading up on the
subject of the coat-ofarms of the State. He
is i man of remarkable mind, and possesses
vast store Of information acquired by in
dustrious research. The result of his labors
in the direction mentioned is now seen in
the new coat of-arms of Virginia. 1t iscon
sidered by competent critics vast improve
ment on the old one. Instead of the old
figure, which did not really represent ac
curately anything historically, the new de-
sign has virtus not with his foot resting
upon globe las was the case with the Ro-
man NEUROLOGICAL figure representing that
Rome had conquered the world) but with it
resting on the PROSTATE form Of tyrant,
whose chains are broken, and the conquest
complete. The sword is sheathed, the spear
at rest, and instead of armor, the figure is
clothed in the costume Of Roman citizen.
Altogether there is much more historical ac
curacy in this than was seen in the old seal.

ported resolution directing the President

This action wonld Of course ignore the
wrts haretofor issued by Governor Cam

ceived the designations OF Martin, Rue, Jones
and Sleayens, and issued writs for special
elections to fill their places.
The report Of the committee was recon-
mittod and with it the communication ofthe
Governor on the same subject.
Burham, coalitionist, returned from the
Greenviilc district under Camcron's writ OF

ton whether the Governor had Il right to
order the election at which Barham claims
to have been chosen.
The coalitionsts insisted that Barham had

0leomargarIne.

1t is perhaps not generally known that cleo
margarine or olio butter is used in many restau-
rants in this city but such is said to be a fact.
Much has been said abroad about this article and
in view Of the fact that it is imported and used
to some extent, people who eat it may like to
know what its history is. On the Coast there
are several factories and an unsuccessful attempt
has been made there to suppress Its sale. The
legislature sought to accomplish this result by re-
quiring that every package of oleomargarine ex-
posed in the market should be marked c~onspicu-
ouslv, so that purchasers might not be led to be-
lieve they were buying genuine butter. 1t was
Thought that this whuld substantially stop the
manufacture and sale of the olio butter, as it was
believed no one would willingly eat the article or
prefer it to the product Of the dairy. But this
idea has proved to be a mistake. Many even
prefer oleomargarine to genuine butter, not only
on account of the flavor but also because il will
keep better in warm weather. When it is we'll
made out of good pure tallow it is in substance
very much the same as butter and equally whole
some. And we venture to say that none need
hesitate to eat it when it tastes well and can rot
be detected from butter made from cream.

madra, smallpox Patient Drowned.

The schooner Kaluna took out a load OF
coal to the Madras on the 10Th inst. and the
ropes she held on with to the Madras were
left hanging over the latter's side. On the
nth the Luka took out another lot of coal,
and as she commenced discharging into the
Madras at about 2 PM. on Thursday the
18th. one of the Chinese smallpox patients
aboard the Madras attempted to get aboard
the Luka. He let himself down the ships
sides by the loose ropes left hanging by the
Kaluna and let himself down to the water.
The men on board the Luka could see that
the man was covered with smallpox scabs-
so naturally, they did not want him aboard
their vessel. The captain and officers of the
Madras threw the man a boat-line but it
did not reach him; they then begun to pull
on the rope the man was hanging to, but
it slipped through his fingers and he lost
his hold and he went down and was not seen
again. Captain English, the quarantine
officer on board the Luka, when he first
observed the man thought he was going
down the rope to get a bath. When he
understood the case, he Immediately call
ed out to the first officer Of the Madras
to attend to the man, and Capt. Eng
lish saw the first officer and Captain Brad
ley try to rescue him. y Chinese inter-
prefer explained the directions of Captain
Bradley as to how to fix the bow line pass
ed down to the man; but he evidently did
not understand them, for he first put the
rope on the back of his head then after
wards let go and dropped into the sea. The
mate of the Madras asked Captain Eng
lish to rescue the man with the schooner's
boats, but Captain English replied hal rs
the Madras boart was in the water he did
not see why their boat should go TO
pick up Il man covered with small
pox scabs-after the man dropped INTO
the water and sunk he drifted between
the schooner and the steamer, bat never
came to the surface again-he evidently in
tended to get aboard the schooner.
