All the speeches against Fitz-John Porter
are made on the assumption that be was a
traitor. The invective they contain would be
all right if the premise was true, but there is
no fact connected with the war more conclu-
sively proved than that Porter was entirely
loyal, and did, in fact, help very materially
70 save Pope's army from rout and destruction
at the very tine he was charged with treason
If there is any question at issue it is this, but

Malone has been completely laid fiat in

Malone has been completely laid fiat in
Virginia. During his reign he made every
thing subselvient to him. The judiciary,
schools, public Institutions. Were all made
political machines, while the Federal gov
crnment allowed him to use postofices and
postmasters, the Norfolk navy-yard, inter
nal revenue officers and United States courts
for his own aims. All power was concen-
trated in himself and the people had no
voice in affairs Last fall le was beaten at
the polls, and the Democrats secured two
thirds majority in both houses of the Leg
islature The Legislature met in Deem
Der and went to work to undo the danger
GUS and wischieyous work of Malone.
Malone governor, Cameron. has ipterposed
his veto, but the bills are promptly re-
passed over his yetpes. The lunatic asy=
lum, state and county school boards are
being cmancipated, and number of judges
have been forced to resign to escape im=
parchment. The Democratic Congress at
Washington is looking into his use and abuse
of the Federal patronage, and to cap the
climax the Virginia Legislature has declar-
ed that Malone is not representative of
the people of Virginia and formally asked
him to resign. None of these acts were
hasty. All we're maturely considered, that
asking Malone to resign as TRited States
Senator being particularly so.

THE WONDERFUL ROSY
Il MORNINGS AND EVENINGS

THE WONDERFUL ROSY
Il MORNINGS AND EVENINGS
Are said to be caused by the reflection of the
sun upon the dust cast up by the recent vio-
lent volcanic eruptions. We differ with
scientists on this point, and think it is but a
faint reflection of the success we meet with
in selling the
Elegant New Crown Sewing Ma
chine, Weaver's Sweet-Toned
York Cottage Organ, and the Neat,
Comfortable Florence Oil Stove.
Having sold over 200 Crowns, about 100
Weaver Organs and many Florence Oil Stoves,
we think we can afford to stop ten minutes to
write up little poetry which may astonish
the world. Here it is, after ten weeks hard
work and a little waste of brain (cant stand
much of the latter:
New Crown Sewing Machine:
The rose is red,
The nose is too;
like the CROWN,
And so will you.
Try it, try it do!
Weaver's York Cottage Organ:
Our face gets cold,
But we are bold,
And when we place WEAVER
We are always sure to leave her;
And home we come with cash,
five don't have a smash.
Florence Oil Stove:
Our Stoves name is FLORENCE,
Our dogs name is Joe:
The Stove needs but MATCH
But tin pans make dogs go.

Senator voorhees,, of Indiana, on Monday
presented resolution, which was agreed
to, that the committee on Postofices and
Post Roads be instructed to inquire into
the propnety and expediency of admitting
allnewspapers, periodicals and other printed
reading matter to the United States mail
free of postage, said committee to report by
bill or otherwise Newspapers are public
educators and to tax them by the imposi-
ton of postage is tax upon popular edu-
cation. The adjustment of newspaper
postage would relieve publishers of con-
siderable annual tax and would relieve post
masters Of considerable labor.

wTherc are more than 100000 iron
car wheels in use on American railroads.
said the master mechanic of one Of the
trunk lines, @and it requires aboutu51s
pounds Of pig iron to make one wheel.
About 10000 wheels are worn out every
year. and the same number Of newr ones
must be made to take their places. The
iron men are called upon for only a small
proportion of the 3Iz,5oo tons Of material
required for these new wheels, however,
for nearly 100000 tons are supplied BY
the worn out wheels themselves. For
lnerly the life Of car wheel was estima-
ted at eight years, but the reduction Qf
the railroads generally 70 the standard
gauge and the improvements in leading
and unloading facilities. have materially
decreased the length of service that a
wheel may be depended on to perform
The uniformity in gauge keeps cars in
more continuous use, while the decrease
in time of loading and unloading enables
them to be put 10 more active service
even where they are run only on short
local rontes.
"These figures do not include the wheels
on palace coaches and the better class of
passenger coaches. The wheels on that
grade Of rolling stock are now made al
most exclusively Of paper. They are as
seviceable as iron and combine lightness
with strength, great desideratum where
speed and economy in motive power are
of paramount importance"
