A Question OF Audacity.

The Joint resolution of the Virginia
Legislature, asking Malone to resign
his seat in the Senate, is regarded by
the Republican press as most surpris-
ING exhibition of audacity. ''Unrecon-
structed rebels-daring and unscrupu-
lous Bourbons-' are the mildest cpl
thets applied to the Legislative body
which has intimated a desire to be rid
of the fellow who has maligned his peo-
ple and disgraced his State.
1t is generally supposed that Sena-
tor in Congress is given the position as
a representative of the people. The
Legislature is his immediate and direct
constituency. 1t elects him to his seat
1t has right to expect from him good
behavior and to condemn his bad prac-
tices. Malone obtained his election
through fraud trickery. He never has
been the legally and rightfully chosen
Senator from Virginia No one pre-
tends that he in the remotest degree re-
fleets the will of the people. On the
contrary, his politics and principles (if
mendacity and corrupt methods can be
called principles) are in direct contra
vention of the public sentiment of the
State. Why, then, should it be consid-
cred audacious in the Legislature to ask
him 10 resign? If the Election laws
of the State had been observed,
he would never have got to the
place he disgraces. By falsely pander-
ing to the prejudices of some and the
illiteracy of others, he obtained, through
fraud, what is known as the repudiat-
ing'' Legislature. This elected him to
the Senate. But there has never been
day since he entered that body when
he could be considered to have honestly
and fairly represented the wishes OF the
people by whose authority he is pre-
sumed to sit there. We ask again, in
what consists the audacity' in asking
such a man to resign a place he occu-
pies against the wishes and interests OF
the people he ostensibly represents?
Having been elected by fraud, holding
his seat BY a gross usurpation of au-
thority, at once the disgrace and repro
baton of his State, we think the "au-
dacity" is on the side of Malone. The
Examiner has no expectation that the
Legislature which passed the resolution
anticipated compliance. Men like Ma
hone never resign. But the resolution
has, nevertheless, subserved the purpose
of properly stigmatizing the fraudulent
renegade and public hbeler of his OWE
people.-Lyseh6urg. (Va.) Advance.

saw her first on day in spring,
BY the side of a stream as nshed along.
And loitered to hear the robins sing,
And guessed at the secret they told in song.
The apple-blossoms, so white and red,
We're mirrored beneath in the streamlet
flow;
And the sky was blue far overhead,
And far in the depths of the brook below
7 lay half hid by a messy stone
And looked in the water for flower and sky,
heard a step-l was not alone:
And vision of loneliness met my eye
/ saw her come to the other side,
And the apple-blossoms were not more fair;
She stopped to gaze in the sunlit tide,
And her eyes met mine in the water there
She stopped in timid and mute surprise,
And that look might have lasted TIL now, L
ween;
But mOdestly dropping her dove-like eyes,
She turned away to the meadow green.
stood in wonder and rapture lost
At her slender form and her step so free,
At her raven locks by the breezes tossed,
As she kicked up her heels in the air for
glee.
The apple blossoms are withered now.
But the sky and the meadow and stream are
there;
And whenever l wander that way I VOW
That some day I'll buy me that little black
mare.

of masquerading. The truth is, they had

whether they possessed traits of character

the poor teacher he supposed her; and she
knew, seeing her wedding garments, he
would wonder now she could afford them
as he did.
The contralto singer and Miss Mason
were greatly annoyed at the strange de-
nOuement. The former, because her repu-
tation for cleverness in ferreting out
secrets was irreparably injured; and
over her lost distinction she shed
many tears. Miss Mason grieved,
not only because another had won the
"only man for whom she had ever
cared a straw" but because her treatment
of Rose as a servant had not been such
that she could expect an invitation to visit
her in New York; and she had a strong
"desire for some acquaintance in the me-
tropolis with whom she could pass a few
| weeks each winter-who would introduce
her into the society that she was so well
qualified to grace"
The words in quotation marks are hers,
not ours.
Rose is not revengeful, and has asked
Miss Mason to visit her. The latter possesses
| sufficient discernment to perceive that the
invitation is not precisely cordial, and
declined it with thanks, sowing to prior
engagement"

passed most of each winter with Mrs
Ainslee and, returning to Campton had
marvellous tales to tell of the mansion or

they live. These stories kindled anew and
increased the bitterness ranking in Miss

half suspect they were narrated.
At any rate, Mr.. and Mrs. Ainslee
whether in their mansion on - Avenue
| or in their summer residence in Camptor
are perfectly happy, and that is sufficient

Texas.

Texas is a big State; few people real
ize the extent OF its vast territory. The
western and northwestern part of the
State, being but sparsely settled, COM
prises but one Congressional district,
which contains about 1920 square
miles. This is as much as the entire
area of Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New jersey, Delaware,
MARYLAND and Ohio, which have sixty
one Representatives in Congress, while
this great region has but one spoke
man. And this is not half the
area of the 'sLone STAR State. which
could also swallow New York, Pennsyl-
yania and Indiana, and still have $4,000
square miles left unoccupied. Texas is
larger than the whole of France,
larger than England, Ireland, Scotland
and Wales combined, and yet the peo-
pie do not take kindly to the idea OF
any division of this vast empire into
ether States, as by the terms of admis-
sion to the Union they are at liberty te
do at any time Chicago Journal.

The Ohio Outrage.

When Senator Sherman shall have
concluded his arduous labors and made
report of the facts connected with the
shooting of four colored men at Dan
vile, Va, he ought to take time to.
think of the brutal butchery of a whole
family of colored people at Avondale,
o., two or three days ago:
The riot at Danville grew out of in
tense excitement fomented by Republic
an Senators and the Stalwart Administers
ton. 1t was most lamentable affair,
but it was not a cold-blooded, premed-
itated, deliberate, cruel killing of men,
The murder of Beverly Taylor and
his wife and adopted daughter at Avon
dale, o., grew out of two things, the
desire of medical college for CUSTOM
made corpses and the damnable avar-
ice of some of Senator Sherman's con-
stituents.
The dead at Danville fell in mutual
encounter of angry partisans, were
swept out of life on wave of furious
passion for which the hackers of Ma
hone here in Washington are chiefly re-
sponsible.
The dead at Avondale were sold ss
corpses while yet alive, were knocked
down and dubbed to death in their
home with more brutality than is wit
messed in a slaughter-house. When the
''stiffs" had been made to order, as it
were, they were sacked and hauled to
the market where they had been sold on
the previous day, and there the con-
tract money was paid, fifteen dollars q
head
VIII Mr. Sherman take time to con-
trast the Danville homicides with those
of Avondale? VIII he state which OF
the two tragedies indicates the higher
state of civilization?
The Constitution provides that the
United States shall guarantee to each
State republican form of government
What sort of government exists where
a whole family is liable to be dubbed to
death to make subjects to sell to .
State corporation to be used for the pro-
motion of science?
Do not these facts furnish good and
sufficient reasons why Mr.. Sherman
should ask that Avondale be added to
his Danyille bailiwick p Washington

Mexico grows colder every winter.
The natives say that the refrigeration
of the climate is due to the coming Of
the railroads from the Republic of the
North, and grave savans attribute the
climatic changes to the magnetic infiu-

set all the metropolis to shiyering. By

A Ouakc,,s Friendly ScuGfe.

When Lees graybacks were making their
way through Pennsylvania toward Gettys-
burg two nfantrymen belorginsto Pickeit's
Virginians raided into Quaker's house in
search Of something to eat. They were met
at the door by the owner Of the premises.
who asked Are you rebelsg" =" You bet
we are !" was the blunt reply. "And what
do YOU wish hercg" "Fodder, old man, and
don't keep US waiting for IT," :" If thee
wishest for something to eat thou canst have
it," said the Quaker te the spokesman, ";but
trust that ye will take nothing from the
house" 1t was a poor trust. After the
boys had finished their meal one Of them
pocketed a watch which was hanging on q
nail, and the other seized upon "a silver
cream-pitcher as O token Of remembrance.
Z" Are ye thieves as well as rebellious citi-
zens ?" Indignantly demanded the man as he
confronted them. "Stand aside and let us
out or we'll damage youw "yerily, ! viii
not! Thou must not rob my house."
Never mind him, Bill; Quakcrs don't
fight" called the one in the rear. "Hith him
n clip on the chin and run for IT," Truly
shall not fight" calmly observed the dis
ciple of Penn, as he pushed up his sleeves
and spit on his hands; but if in friendly

minute, and one Of the trio, who is now
resident Of Richmond, yiyidly remembers
having the jawache for week after, while
his companion complained Of sore throat,
dizziness, lame back and depressed spirits.
All the remarks made after the scuiile con-
menced we're simply few words dropped by
the Quaker to the effect that: i am sorry
to put thee out, and sorry TO damage thee,
but il is better that thou shouldst go thy
ways up the pike toward destruction"

Young creature in the green dress and pink

skirts, displaying a pair of substantial rub
Der boots, and bravely started to wade across,
accompanied BY her devoted swain. Han
way over she stepped on bit Of ice and fell
with solid splash that covered the passeri-
by with flying drops. Henry looked woiul'
