always go to the theatre whenever can
and do not remember that ever neglected
an opportunity. Consequently it cannot be
alleged that belong to the strait.laced-
'the unco guide and rigid righteous" sect
who deprecate all entertainment Of that
kind. But it seems to me that the line
ought TO be drawn somewhere by refined
and intelligent people, and though am a
sincere admirer of Mr.. Bishop, think, after
last nights entertainment, it ought to be
drawn at Widow Bedott.
1t must be confessed that the audience
enjoyed the play to the echo. and that
some things that were expected only to
tickle the ears Of the groundlings and to
make the .iudicious grieve really made all
hands, including the ladies, fairly bubble
with uproarious laughter and applause. And
yet the good people of our good old town
do not need to be told that Bible texts
fl!ppantly misquoted and perverted do not
constitute either wit or humor but rather
biasphemy, that gross travesties of the
sacred professions do not elevate the moral
standards of community, and we ought
not to permit ourselves to get used to
such things. There is more truth than
poe;ry-and great deal of both-in these
good old lines, so often quoted, but which
we venture to quote once again as pecull-
arly appropriate to the present occasion:
Wee is monster Of so frightful mien
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, famii-r with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace. :

The Cholera.

ROME, Sept. lS.-A popular demonetra-
ton occurred at Spezia yesterday in favor of
abolishing the military and sanitary Gordon
about the town. At Pesciano, village of
Calabria, the populace were greatly excited
The notion was abroad among them that the
cholera remedies which were being dis
pensed to the sick were poisons In some
instances when the dispensers Of remedies
approached their houses shots were fired at
them from the windows. A small body of
carbineers in attempting to preserve order
were received with volley Of stones and
shots and were obliged to use their fire. arms
in self-defence. At Naples from midnight
to ten o'clock Wednesday morning there
were 1872 fresh cases of cholera reported and
46 deaths.

The Corporation of Alexandria spent over
seven hundred dollars on Franklin street
from Washington to Fairfax, to make it
passable for vehicles. Very soon afterwards
q wash across it just beyond the Pitt street

a citizen asked to have control of an expen-
diture to make it passable which was grant

to work greater transformation to the eye
than the hundreds spent before. Two much
of the first cost was in the brick sewer
across the street at the Royal street inter
section. This street then became the high
way for vehicles from across Hunting creek,
it being the most convenient crossing above

in town save Lee street not much used on
account of location. Some months ago two
large holes were dug in the street, making
it dangerous to life, limb and property. 1t
is said that the Superintendent of Police
dug these holes to get sand, and intended to-
fill them up. They have now been there

In this draft he wants Fisher to say of him
"You became the purchaser of about
800 900 of the bonds on precisely the same
terms that every other buyer received, pay
ing for them in Instruments, running over a
considerable period, just as others did. The
transaction was perfectly open, and there
was no more secrecy in regard to it than il
you bad been buying flour or sugar. am
sure YOU never owned bond of the road
that you did not pay for at the market rate
Indeed, I am sure that 10 one received
bonds Oh any other terms
OF course, Fisher declined doing any such
thing. But he kept the draft, and has now
published it. And yet it is to elect such 8
man that reputable Virginia republicans
are ordered by General Malone to vote ar
electoral ticket composed almost entirely O
democratic scalawags.

SOME OF Mr.. Blaine's supporters are 80
silly as to say that because he was interested
in Virginia railroad, Virginians should sup
port him for President. Even if be had
been honestly and legtimately interested
In Virginia railroad, no sensible man
would have deemed that u reason for Civ
ing him his political support. Every sane
man knows that Northern people don't
make investments in Virginia to benefit the
State, but to profit themselves. So that
gratitude is not factor in the question.
But. according to a highly respected lawyer
in Lynchburg, who has investigated the
matter, Mr.. Blaine's interest in the Rich
mond and Allegheny Railroad was of the
same sort as that he acquired in the Little
Rock and Fort Smith, and though he
pocketed cool hundred thousand of the
assets of the Virginia road, he never paid
one dollar for that property, which belong
ed to the State.
