Virginia Lovers Escape from Home and
Outwit tho Washington COnstabu-
larry.
Tho young folks have again outwitted their
seniors. This time the couple comes from
Bethel, Albemarle county, Va, and their
names ore G. NJ. Marsh and w. A. Leakc.
They have been wanting to marry for some
time past, but the opposition of the lady's pa
rents sto cd in the,way, and they finally con-
cluded to elope. Arrangements wero made
in secret, and last Monday they disappeared.
The parents Of the girl determined to head
them OFF if possible, and yesterday the chief
of police received dispatch from the father
to prevent II license being issued, and the match
contaminated. The chief sent n policeman
to the court house, requesting tho clerk of
the court to notify him in case application
should DO made for tho license One of the
assistant clerks promised it should be done,
after falling to find tho names on the license
book. When Mr.. Mcigs came into the office
he was informed of Maj. Dyes request, and
replied that both the chief of police and tho
parents Of the girl were about twenty-four
hours too late, as he had issued the certificate
at his residence the night before the couple
were married, and probably were back home
by that time 1t is very evident that
the old folks must make m early start if
they wish to head OFF Virginia couple bent
on matrimony.

THE ooRRUpTING INFLUENCE OF IT.

A correspondent asks the New York
World:-"Could not an action be
brought against the Tribune and other
republican journals for advocating the
election of such character as Jim
Blaine-corrupting the youth Of the
country by their conductr' Truly, it
does seem as if there should be some
means Of redress; and there is. If
every man who values honesty and
purity in public life will lay aside party
prejudice, examine candidly and care
fully Mr.. Blainc's past public record.
and then place his country and morali-
ty in politics above party, Mr.. Blaine
will not carry single state in the
Union. The trouble is, as we have
often said, that candidacy for a high
Office is shield to bad characters. No
matter what venality and corruption
can be proven against them, ont OF their
own months, and out OF the months OF
their friends, the only answer needed
is "calumny," sscampaign lies," &c

WHERE'S THE GOOD OF AMERICAN
CITIZENSHIP

New York. October 14.-Mr. AdOlph Nelson
of Nelson 4 Co., No. Is COrtlandt street, has
received the following important communica-
ton:
"Octobrr ll-Sir:-I have to acknowledge
the receipt OF your letter OF the 9Th met. in
which you ask if q persOn born in Italy. who
comes here minor, with his parents. and has
since with them) been ns,urslIzed. can be hi Id
for military duty on his return to that olntry.
and to say in reply that, within the last few
days. the department has been obliged to in
form the friends OF similarly situated native
Italian in Kentucky that. according to infer
| nation just received from the minister of tie
| United States in Rome. such native would be
held on his return to Italy as subject to the
scriptiOn. The minister Of war there holds that
the fact OF having become citizen of the
United States does not exempt the inquirer above
mentioned from the obligation that he has TO-
ward the military law of Italy. lam. sir. your
obedient servant.
| w. HUNTER. Acting Secretary"
If the above is the present law, or its
Interpretation, the sooner the republi.
can party is kicked out OF power the
better. In the Martin Koszta case Mr.
Marcy, democratic secretary of state,
held that Koszta, who had here onl.
declared his intentions to become al
American citizen, must be held invio
late by Austria; and in 1912 this coun
TRY went to war with England becaus
that country presumed to say that sh
could torcibly take Irishmen out o
American ships for service in the Brit
ish navy. This country was youn'
then, but it was under democratic rule
and whenever it becomes Democrat
again the humb est naturallzed citize
