THE defeat Of Malone in Virginia is ample
and complete. lie has been routed "horse,
foot and dragoonf.' Ia some counties the Re
publicans on whom he counted united with the
Democrats TO defeat his Candidates With
the whole power Of the Arthur admini.tra
tion TO back him, and the services of swarm
of Republican oficeholders, he fsiled utterly.
The New York Times, au administration pa
per, confesses this defeat snd sdmits that
"the use Of patronage, the resort to illegal
assessments upon ofliseholder', and the coer-
Give tactics of the boss system have proven
comparatively Ineffective. Even there an
element seems 10 EXIT capable Of turning the
political scale, which must be moved by some
kind Of an appeal to tn convictions OF the
voters. With the set enent of the debt
question, which seems to be very generally
accepted in Virginia as final, the Rsadiustsrs
lest their issue. 1t was a bad enc at best
but il gained support 10 a community in
fected with repudiation. since il has been
settled the Malone party has become pre-
eminently party OF spoils, and has bsen
completely dominated by boss tsc!ics. Ma.
hone represents political methods which
have fallen into disrepule. The tide has
evidently set against Mahoneism 10 Virginia,
and there is prospect that it may be over
whelmed when tn. next general election
occurs in that State" 1t will be.

The Columbus IadeI is opposed TO Gov
Lowry calling the Mississippi Legislaturs
together 10 extra session for the purpose of
m skiug law providing for the organiza-
lion OF Lsvee Board for the Yszoo VAL
ley. That paper also thinks that the
APPEAL has permitted It's zeal for the
people Of that section Of Mississippi TO
outrun its judgment, and il says that "ihe
interests of the State at large, rather than
the interests of any particular locality, are
to be taken into account 10 deciding the
question OF an extra session. That injury
would be done the State at large by an extra
session at THE juucture ia generally admitted.
That some good would result 10 the Data
counties 10 the formation of Levee District
is probable. But the question il, would not
this BE- more than balanced by the evils an
extra session would leave b4hiud il? The
Legislature will meet in regular session next
January, snd no doubt is entertained in a1y
quarter that amoug the first Of the measures
it will sdopt will he one giving the river
counties all they may ask in the way OF a
Levee District" But this may be too late, and
the planters cannot afford to be caught sgain
az they have been in the past three years.
They cannot af1rd 10 risk the loss OF an
other crop. That would be 10 invite ruin to
many Of them. b. January next he levees
ought to be constructed and all the weak
places strengthened 50 a. to prevent overflow
and zssurs planters that any early prepare
lions they N zht make for a crop would not
be interfered with by a possible rise in
March or June, "a was the case this year.
The Ender speaks for a population that has
nothing Of taiz sort TO contend "ith, and We
applaud its generally conservative attitude
on all questions OF State policy, but in this
instance we think it 10 error. II it will for
mulate the statistics OF the Yszoo Valley
popu alton, resources and growlh-we think
our contemporary will see that it is 10 the
interest Of all the people of Mississippi that
the Legislature should be called together 10
legislate for the preservation OF the most
productive part OF it. The interests OF the
Iaborers no less than those of the planters
demand it.

1t is not positively known when the deed
was committed. Some OF the children at the
house declare they saw Bernard go down TO
the ci.tern and draw glass of water yester-
day evening, returning to his room. AS de-
composition had evidently set in when the
body was found, this is doubtless a mistake.
Several persons living in the vicinity declare
they heard pistol shot late Tuesday night.
One chamber Of the pistol was empty. No
money or other valuab'es were found on the
corpse, except small, open faced silver
watch.
Chief Davis sent a telegram to the address
raued immediately upon his return 10 the
Office, relating the circumstances and asking
what should be done with the body.

the new high license liquor law Of that
state " is the best liquor law in the United
States" The license for cities is 81 900
year and in small towns $500 year. Be-
fore it went into effect Omaha bad 160
saloons, 6 and some of them wore pretty
bad," remarks the senator; now tho
number has been reduced to 90, little
more than one half. Where there wcro
100 saloons paying $1G0 per year, the rev.
enue they yielded was only $4,000; now
the 80 under tho law yield 500, 900 year,
and there is no such thing as selling with
out 4 license, becaus those who pay dearly
for tho privilege take good care to see that
the law is not violated to the detriment of
their business.
