Poor George died.

TIE southern moonshiners arc
still giving evidence ofthcir indy
ing devotion to law by shooting
revenue officers who try to collect
the government taxes. The last
victim of this kind ofrille practice
is Frank IIightown, who was shot
at Panther Mountain while making
a RAID on the illict distilleries.
He is expected to die. 1t will
probably cost the lives Of a good
pany more law-abiding citizens to
enforce the laws against these out
laws.

lOuiBiana BOurbonism.

Whenever political party becomes completely
dominant, as the democratic party has in these
southern states, there is always danger that popu
lar indifference will permit some bold, designing
aspirant for place and power to obtain complete
control of the machinery of its organization, and
by that means to use tho whole power of the state
to iulthCr his ends. A man of that stamp, once
firmly seated in the saddle, will not accept
popular Iebuke administered in the regular
manner. lie will maintain his grasp upon the
levers of the party machinery, II needs be, by
revolutionary meth ods; and, If the worst comes
to the worst, he will not scruple to bargain for
federal patronage, nor to appeal to the passions of
the negro race. The way TO meet an evil OF this
sort is to crush IL utterly as II shows itself
We have something Of that sort to do hero in Lou
isiana now, and we cannot do it too soon or too
thoroughly.
Tho above extract from tho editorial col

record of tho democratic party of Louisiana,

unfortunate state, is spotted and stained
by civil and political fraud, by tho shameful
story of magnificent public domain sacri,

and deprives it of its just share in tn
amazing prosperity Of tho bottor governe

cry, "The way TO meet an evil of this sort

The National Cnpitnl,

With tho opening of congress will assemble
the members from every portion of the coun-

of Washington they must, We believe, feel
natural pride in the appearance of the capital
of the country. Those who remember the

to any city, much more tho capital of the
United States, must now look with gratifica-
tion at the change that has been wrought
In this change the whole people have an
interest for the appropriations have been ina

the clean, well-paved streets, the beautiful
parks, and the effective sewers. show how
well and judiciousy these appropriations
have been spent. The work that has been
done thus far is an earnest Of what is the
intention in regard to this city, viz, to mako
it the M ost beautiful and attractive of any

The Trnc situation.

The bourbon rioters of Virginia are begin
ming TO understand that their victory Of last
Tuesday was very dearly purchased. Tho
republican press of tho north Of all shades of
opinion--papers that favored Malone and
those that opposed him--aro vigorous in their
condemnation of tho cruel massacre on
the eve of tho election, which WAS orig
mated and carried out by the
democratic managers for the express pur-
pose of moro completely raising the race issue
and drawing the color line. 1t has been well
known TO all intelligent men for years that
in several of the southcrA states there exists
an undoubtod republican majority, but that
it has boen prevented from asserting itself by
methods the most cruel aud brutal. With
all this knowledge many wero lead
to believe that such methods would
not be rcsorted to by Virginia. Better things
were hoped of that state, but tho bloody
history of the last two months has most
eilcctually dissipated that hope. Aud the
people of the north are beginning to realize
and appreciate the true situation. If the
south is to be made solid by the
shotgun, the north will bo made just
as solid, but by the more peaceful means fur
nishe.d by the ballot box. Democratic editors
and orators may attempt to veneer this latest
outrage over and give it more pleasing ap-
pcarance, but they will fail. 1t would be
much manlier and more honorable to admit
that it is their intention to keep the
south solid for the democratic party-peacea-
| bly, if they can, but by force and even
murder, if necessary. Whimpering and whin-
ing will not prevent the laying of the true
facts before the people of the north in man
ncr that will besunderstood, and, when once
understood, there will be no doubling tho

at convenient points, suited to tho needs OF
the locality and Of the service, and intended
for the accommodation of acute cases only. The
cost OF these station hospitals he estimates at
$4,000 each. It is understood that chronic
cases and those likely to be of long oontinu-
ancc arc TO bc sent to general hospital at
central point. For the central point he rec
ommends Norfolk as being in n mild climate,
easily accessible ut all seasons, and provided
already with extensive grounds and suitable
buildings. At the central hospital there Will
be an average Of from 500 TO 600 patients,
alording exceptional advantages for the
clinical instruction Of the younger medical
officers. Hither ho would transport also the
manufacturing and distributing laboratory
now In New York, and the fifty or so insane
patients usually in the government asylum

tho Washington hospital be turned over to

Report OF tho Supervising Architect.

The supervising architect, in his annual
report, says of the proposed new postoilice
building at Brooklyn, N. Y, that tho amount
set as the limit of expenditure (SS00,000) for
the securing of a suitable site and the eTec-
tion of u building large enough for the pur-
pose is totally inadequate. He says that the
report of the commission appointed to eX-
amino property offered for sale as a site for
the building has been submitted and awaits
action.
With respect to tho postoiiice and custom
house ut Albany, he says that further ap-
preparation will be required. He reports
satisfactory progress during the past year,
with an expenditure of Sl07795 which leaves
q balance OF S9,720 available for this work.
He says that although the building win be
in condition TO be occupied by the first of
December next, the painting, concreting of
basement, constructions of elevator, laying Of
sidewalks, and approaches cannot be com.
pleted without further appropriation.
OF the postoillce and custom house at Phil

ADJUSTMENTS.
NATIONAL THEATER.

The first production Of the new comic opera,
"The Merry Duchess" at the National theater,
was attended by some drawbacks which
will probably disappear by to-night's per-
formancc. There are bright dashcs Of melody
sparkling dialogue,and well wrought choruses,
but the pruning knife can be used to a con-
siderable extent both as to dialogue and reci-
tativo. Misses Lester, Guthrie, and Hum
nell appeared to good advantage, ac-
ceptably rendering their musical num-
bers and proving good actresses.
MIR. George Denham carried tho burden of
the fun, and under the circumstances his in
dulgenco of his propensity to gag" was ad-
missiblo. Mcssrs. Nash, Nathal Lang,
and ROLAND sustained tho other prin
cipal roles. There were two choruses which
were justly encored, viz, that by the tigers"
and the policemen, and the work of the
chorus generally was good.
Tho specialists introduced in tho second
act were remarkably excellent. "Princo" is
tho only name given on the programme
under him to an astonish-
ing extent. 1t was wonderful
balancing performance, and the audience
appreciated it. The three Lorellas 60 through
much the same series of contortions as tho
Majiltons and do them equally we'll.
"The Merry Duchess" will be repeated
every night this week, and at the matinees
on Wednesday and Saturday.
FoRD's OPERA HOUSE.
Haverly's Mastodon minstrols opened the
week ut Ford's last night with mammoth
bill of attractions that was perfectly satisfac-
tory to the audience. The strength of this
combination lies in its end men and its
dancers. Its solosts, while all good. are not
specially excellent, although Mr.. Banks
Winter displayed tenor of very fine
quality, which he managed with grace and
ease. Messrs Hughey Dougherty and j.
Carroll Johnston are immense as tho corners
of the end men, in fact, corners, sides, and
interior. Dougherty's recitation d. of his
own version of Casabianca," and
Johnson's song, Laugh aud Grow
Fat" were mirth provoking in the oxtreme.
The double jig of Ed Girard and Charles
Seamon was marvellous exhibition of elas-
ticty in legs and feet, in which respects Mr.
Bob Newcomb's cart Of Dancing" was n
worthy rival. Mr.. George Powers delighted
the house with variations of Home, Sweet
Homo" on tho banjo. Mr.. Henry Whittier
rendered a euphonium solo with much taste
and effect.
Tho climax of the entertainment is "The
Princess of Madagascar" appropriately named
gorgeous aboriginal operotta," and cos
tuned truly in style of oriental splendor
and barbaric magnifcence." 1t is also acted
in style of more than oriental splendor and
barbaric magnifcence, and for supreme
cachinnatory absurties is the crowning glory
of Haverley's or any other minstrels. Not
amenable to criticism in any respect, it is incar
nate with fun of the most extravagant char
acter and kept the house in a constant roar
The minstrels will remain all the week.

plan to affect the Virginia election by terrifying
the negroes, so that they would fail to vote. The
whole affair came OF as though planned and u
programme fixed up in advance. Immediately
after the riot was announced meetings were held
IN all parts Of the state, and resolutions of sym
pathy with the poor whites and menace to the
blacks were adopted with great enthusiasms The
performance was almost too precise and exact to
be spontaneous. 1t is now discovered that the
riot was being talked of in distant places ut II
time when 1t was impossible any information
could have reached here. 1t seems that the pro-
gramme of terrorism had the effect intended. AT

to attempt to vote. In other portions of the state
