Observation-Disclosures.

The decision Of the Supreme Court, while
establishing the validity OF the Riddleber-
ger bill, will conduce greatly TO the good OF
the Democratic party. II has forever re-
moved from State politics the issue which
was the life OF the Rcadjuster party, and il
has reduced the latter TO the necessitvof nc
knowledging that 1t now aligns itself with
the Radical party, and henceforth pledges
ltself TO allegiance to that party.
Could anything have more fortunately
happened to the Democratic party? The
very backbone OF the Readjuster party.
which gave it additional strength and
vitality, has been removed beyond the
grasp OF the Realiusters. They can no
longer appeal to the people against the
alleged brokers and Bourbons. They can
no longer warn the people against the taxa
ton which an alleged brokers' organization
would inflict upon them. These false pleas
have been rendered useless. The people
have sufficient sense to realize that they
are beyond any such measures, and thew
will hereafter regard all such arguments
with the scorn which they deserve.
What is the position OF the Readjusters?
They can plead nothing but sympathy with
the objects and methods OF the Radical
party. Their leaders have heretofore
pledged themselves TO the support of that
party, and the oadjustor-Dcmocrats IL
they remain within the party organization,
must necessarily be Republicans. - Peters

The allment Of the Coalition, which was
ut first thought to be the result Of a tram
sient indispoSition, has turned ont to he IN
organic affection Of the most threatening
character. Indeed, so deep-Seated IS the
disease that it has completely bafiled the
curative powers Of the local political medi-
cine-men, and has been thought alarming
enough 10 be subjected TO the skill and in
fluence OF more potent leeches. All efforts
TO get Harris, the colored aSpirant for the
treasurership OF James City county, to
withdraw. having failed, Coalition leader,
whose name might be guessed, made a
journey to Richmond, and some days ago
Harris received letter in the shape
OF three pages OF clOsely-written legal
cap" setting forth the necessities Of
the Coalition and the discord that bis con-
duct was sure to produce, followed up with
the assurance that if ne would submit his
claims to Il convention he would be given
a fair hearing and have justice done him,
&c. Harris declines to comply with the re-
quest, having more than suspicious that
they who inStigated the letter do not favor
his candidacy. No names were given, but
from hints thrown out the document is
thought to be signed by certain one promi-
nently connected with the State govern
ment.
The Lunatic Asylum has lately purchased
Of Captain Clay, OF jamestown, pair OF

1t is rumored is to be appointed collector
for the port OF Newport's News rice James
johnson, retired. The directors OF the
above institution at their last meeting made
IN appropriation to furnish Captain William
Henry Harrison Jones with a handsome
uniform. The Captain has long served the
asylum in different capacities, having been
steward for some time soon after the war.
Last SATURDAY. the three residents of the
Jail, with heartless ingratitude, determined
to leave the scenes endeared by so many
proofs OF confding law, and seek new
quarters. The iaiier's little son, however,
who seems to be the most constant and eff
cient guardian. ran up the streetand sue
ceeded in informing the police In time to
prevent their escape. They had broken
down door, and one was in the act Of
scaling the fence when the officer arrived.

The chairman OF the special committee
appointed to report the eXpediency OF
establishing paid fire department informs
me that he will report this evening to the
Council in favor OF reorganization on a
paid basis.
The Board OF Public SchoolsTrustces at
a meeting Yesterday evening determined to
have work commenced as soon as possible
on the new school building for the accom-
mediation OF colored pupils. The plans
have been drawn up by the city architect,
and the contract for the construction OF the
building will be given out early in April.
The City Council has appropriated $4,000
for this building and the lot.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. J. l.. Bragassa
fell down a fight OF stairs while endeavor-
ing to adjust trap-door in the roof OF his
house, and sustained severe injuries, a long
gash helns cut across his head, and his left
hip and arm being painfully bruised. Be-
ing a person OF heavy weight, he came
down with tremendous force, and it was
thought at first that he was seriously in
iured.
The report OF the commissioners in To-
eating the public building has never yet
been ratified, but the supervising architect
writes that it has been laid before the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury for his approval.

the unanimous opinion that Tuesdays de.
cision OF the coupon-kiler case by the Su.

could have happened for their party, as 1t
has edcctually removed the debt question
from politics; and as many members o
their party were led into the Malone move
ment by that question, now that it has
been settled--and that, too, the way thew
wanted-they will in all probability come
back to the old fold. They are also pleased
that the Supreme Court has taken such de-

The Washington Post says that supposing
that Colonel FULKERsoN, the late rcpresen-
tative from the most powerful Rcadjuster
section OF the State, who did not affiliate
with MAHoYE's Republican movement, but
held himself as a Democrat ali the way
through, might be considered the best au-
thority on the political effects OF the recent
decision in his State, that journal inter-
viewed him. Colonel FuLKERsoN gave a
long history OF readjustment and Malone
ism In Virginia. The interview closed as
follows:
"Do you think. Colonel, that Malone
can carry into the Republican party SUI
ficient number OF Readiuster Democrats to
give the party majority in the StateYv

cally. "Under the false pretence OF re-
adjustment after the debt had been settled.
Malone Induced larger number to vote
with the Republicans in the last election
thin he can ever control again. In the
election he controlled more elements than
ne can possibly bring TO bear In The future.
This decision OF the supreme Court settles
the debt question ut once and forever, and
removes Tint Issue which was the whole
lie and soul Of the kexdjus party from
the politics OF the State; 80 that In the I'm.
