The Governors MessaCa.

The famous chapter on J." Snakes in Ire
land" which began with the sentence.
"Therc are no snakes in Ireland" must
have occurred TO Governor CAMERON when
he penned his message of yesterday TO the
Legislature Of Virginia. "Goyernor CAM
ERos'S Message TO the Legislature" Is the
heading OF the chapter. "Governor CAM
ERON sent no message TO the Legislature "
is the first sentence under that heading.
In word, the Governors message was
SIMPLE declaration that he had no message
TO send.
Perhaps General WIcKnAx's resolution
will cause the Governor TO change his
opinion as TO the necessity for the present
session Of the Legislature. We are sure
that he win do all he can TO achieve the oh.
ject TO which General WICkHAN's resolu.
ton looks.
The Governor maniully maintains that il
was his duty TO convene the Legislature in
extra session after he had been thereto re-
quested by two thirds Of its members.
We trust the Governor and General
Assembly will work tremendously TO-
gether in finishing the legislation which
the old Commonwealth needs at this time.
We see no sort OF necessity for vetoss, nor
for bills that will probably be vetoed.

yhe End OF MahOneism.

Malone, who has been trying in various
ways during the past several years to saddle
the Old DOMINION with Republican corrup-
ton, il said 10 be in deep trouble. lie was
Arthur's chief reliance at Chicago, but as
Arthur was not nominated. he has little or
no use for Malone; consequently the fidgciy
little politician has about come 10 the end OF
his row as person Of influence. Lately he
has almost dropped out OF public notice,
but he is still engaged, 10y every trick and
device known TO the politician, TO re-
gain his hold on the white voters OF Viz
ginia.
That he will fail goes without saying. for
while there are many honest men in that
State who can be deceived by Malone as TO
the propriety Of paying debt, there is no
honest Nirglnian who can be deceived as to
the difference between a Democrat and q
Republican. When Malone went INTO

ton Of carrying with him any i'm
portant part OF the white vote that

is often made by the over-contident cor
ruptionist. The white voters Of Virginia.
no matter how iIriously they opposed the
Democratic party on questions OF State
finance, have never bad the remotest idea
nor intention Of turning their State gov.
eminent over 10 the Republican party. The
difficulty with Virginia is that II has never
had TO pass through the ihroes Of recon.
struetion. Its little experience with Ma.

Theosophists In a Quarrel.

London lodge. II is all about a miracle.
Root Houmi. one Of the Masters OF Tibet,
who have power TO send their astral bodies
carrcoEIng through space, and OF telegraph
Ing without wires TO their disciples from

sent 4 message. which was a grand phlO-
sophical di>quisitiou, quoting Plato and
using many high.sOunding words. Here
was wonder. The age Of miracles
had returned. Faithful souls read and
believed. But it came out aiterward
that Koot Houmfs telcsraphed Grafton,
which cost nothing for dispatch or deliv-
cry, was mutilated edition OF a speech
which had been made by Nr. Riddle, no
TheosOpbist, in New York. Koot Houml
had taken the trouble 10 send all the way
from Tibet what wa. already to be had in
the American papers. When explanations
were asked, the replies made were shadowy
and unreal. KOot Houmi. the adept had
been tried. He had not properly impressed
the cheid or student. The ch1IG had got
hold OF the wrong thoughts, and hoot
Houmi bud omitted to read what the chsJa
had written. Mr. G. e. Massey has indig-
nantly thrown up TheOsophy. He no
longer believes Ia KOot H0umi. He has
surrendered Esoteric Buddhism, nd is
coming back 10 common sense.

Anlndependent Foreoast.

We gave yesterday what washington
correspondent Of New York paper nad
bad 10 soy a. 10 the prospec'sof Democratic
success In tee approaching pres'dehua
elcc.ion. We give below the conclusion 20
which tie New York Times has been Tod.
The Times has been consistently Republic
can. II stood by the Republican party IN
1872 when the 7rVvne supported HoRAcE
GREELEY. II stands by CLEVELAND now Tor
other than partisan reasons. After stating
the eordi,ion OF things In the West and the
Northwestern Iowa. Kansas, Micni2an'
and Wisconsin, - ard coming to The conclu-
sion that the prohibition question VIII be
used as an excuse for voting against BLAisE
bv Republicans who desire 10 have him de-
iea,ed anyhow, the Times sums up as foi-
lows:
ave have from the first felt confident
that the people Of this country in every
section had too much regard for the princi-
PIE Of integrity IN public life, and OF ster-
ling honesty In The administration OF pub
Nc afiairs, to tc induced by mere party
spirit 10 support for the presidency \ man
who had been c0nspicuonsly false to MS
trusts. and had shown himself unworthy
Of confidence In word or sction. This be-
lief is strengthened by every Indication OF
tic force and direction Of popular feeling
as the canvass progresses, and we feel no
doubt that It will be justified by the re-
suit"
We add that Ohio VIII give BLAME trou-
bic. The Prohibitionists there are mime
rous, well organized, and ready for the
fray. They are determined, we think, to
show that. like SAMSON, they can pull down
the temple. The temple which they wish
to see lettering TO Its fall is The Repub-
lican organization In that State, which or
ganization dares not to come out either
for or against prohibition. They claim to
have carried the State last year, and pro-
test that they were cheated out OF their
victory. They deny that they then threw
their votes away, or "yotod in the air.
They propose TO show this year that they
are strong in the strength Of their cause,
and need not vote for either the Demo-
cratic or the Republican nominee for Presi-
dent in order 10 make their votes "cOunt."
Let Mr.. BLAINE look well TO Ohio.

Bntler's Candidacy.

Regularly once in every four years We bear
the same story as 10 the Irish vote. For
some reason or other the Irish, We are told,
are going to desert the party OF their FIRST
and only love, and JOIN hands with men
who have nothing in common with them
either in feeling or interest. Let US con-
suit the history OF the past.
II ever the Democrats, including the
Irish voters, had good excuse Tor sup
porting an independent candidate, 10 was
in 1872. when HORACE GREELEY was reeos-
nizcd as the regular Democratic candidate
for President Of the United States. II 10
true he was the candidate first OF tho indie
pendent Republicans; but 1t is none the
less true that he became the adopted cam
didate Of the Democratic party. and as sush
received nearly all the votes cast that year
by the Democrats.
Who was the man selected 10 draw OF
from Mr.. GREELEY the votes OF our Irish
fellow -citizcns! 1t was CBARLEs O'CoSoR,
.he most famous lawyer in America, lie
long Democrat. an 1rishman in every fibre
though born In this country, . man OF the
highest character and OF unblemlshed
reputation, and as well qualified for the
Office for which be was nominated as bad
been Mr.. JByyRRsoS, Mr.. MADISON, or any
other man that bad ever filed the BIecu-
tive chair OF the nation. He was every
thing that BrTLnB Is not. He was nothing
that BuTIRR IL. Surely this great sonsti-
tutional lawyer, this lifelong Democrat
running against lifelong Rspubli-
can, this leader Of his people running
against tho editor OF the New York
Tribune, received largs Irish vote.
Not so. The Irish do not "vote In
the sir" ~ Mr.. WILLIAM n. EvAsfs
aptly designated the act Of casting ballot
for q candidate known 10 be . mere
dummy-a candidate running not with the
expectation Of being elected, but for the
purpose OF preventing some Other candi.
date from being elected. No class Of voters
in this country, except perhaps those that
NAV DO classified as "oSanks," are ever
found "voting In the air.; and the erlnks
OF that sort are by no means numerous.
Well. how many votes were cast for Mr..
O,C0SoR! Not one single electoral vote,
although Mr.. GREELEY died before the
day the electors met TO cast their votes.
How many popular votes did Mr.. O'CopoR
receive! Read and think OF BEN. Bur
LER's prospects. In the whole United
States Mr.. UCoSoR received but 29.A0s
votes. In Virginia but ~. In New York.
where he lived, but l,454. His largest
vote was in Georgia, where he received
1000.
But NJ. O'CoSOR declined TO be conSid-
cred candidate. OF course he did. He
was. as we have said, whatever BEs. Bur-
LER Is not. He was too good man and too
sound Democrat 10 run willingly against
the Democratic candidate. His name WIS
nevertheless used all over the United States,
m the votes cast for him testify.
Now, how many votes will BUTLER gel
from our Irish fellow citizens, How mauy
from Democratic voters OF any sort, native
or naturalized! In whose interest is he
operatingi Isn't il evident that he will
run, II at all. ~ Blaineite In disguise?
If at ALI" Yes; that's what We said.
BcTLER's game Is not yet played out.
