ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL IT.

GENERAL MAHoNE's expressed determl-
nation to support President Arthur for the
coming republican Presidential nomination,
mentioned in the GAzETTE's Washington
correspondence of yesterday, is supplement-
ed by the following extract from the oen-
erals own paper:
"As far as the liberal-coalitionist of Fir-
pinia are concerned, their course at chicago
cannot be affected by any posslblllties OF the
future for the past has Determined tha'
course by every consideration that can
nronery Influence true men. No lively
sense, nor hope, of 'favors TO come can be-
tray them TO unworthy action. They can,
not consistently support anybody else until
they have done their duty, as honorable
men, TO him who has stood by them IN sea-
son and out of season, through evil as well
as good report.
Well, to support Arthur is no more than
ne should do Arthur laid his hand gently
on Mr.. Dczendorfs shoulder, when the
Norfolk ex-Congressman WAS protesting
against the removal Of republican one
armed Union soldier in order that his place
might be given to q democratic scalawag,
aud said, II know the terms of the bargain
I've made with Malone are very hard, but
l must keep them IfArthur has observed
his part of the bargain, does Malone de-
serve any special praise for doing the same
Would he not he monstrous ingrate II he
should fail to do SO? because, as is known, to
all. while the bargain made him all he is, 1t
has politically killed the President and iu-
hicted serious injury to the republican
party.

IT Is to be hoped that the speeches made
and TO he made in Congress on the Morri-
son bill by the revenue reformers will be dis
tributed extensively and given a general
circulation so that the voters of the conn-
try may be correctly informed upon the
subject of the tariff, aud see for themselves
how they have been imposed upon by the
protected monopolists, aud be convinced
that protection, no matter what else it may
do, does not protect labor.

IT MAY be assumed as certain that Mr..
Tilden could get the democratic presiden-
tial nomination if he would like to have it.
But il is no less certain that he does not
want it, that he could not give it to Mr..
Randall if he would, and that he would not
if he could The vote by which Mr.. Rand
all was defeated for Speaker in the demo-
cratic caucus shows that he is an impossible
nominee in the next national contest.

Now THAT the Morrison bill is before

have an opportunity to show his sincerity
by Offering an amendment reducing the
