Virginia Bourbon Reaction,

The Bourbon Congressional Reappor
tionment bill, which passed the Virgin
ia Legislature last week, and was vctoe,
by the Governor yesterday, passed hotl
houses over the veto. and is now a law
1t makes two districts overwhclminul,
Republican, while the other eight wen
Democratic at the late election by ma
.jorities ranging from 800 to 5000. Tn,
Read justers, or rather the coalitionists
have had no say in the matter Of I'll,
set up, having been deprived Of Their
force by frequent expulsionS and the
admission Of BOurbons until resistance
to unjust and arbitrary laws by them
is only a matter ofform. The Coalition.
ist leaders, however, have not lost hope
and they are already talking of carry,
ing one-balf of the districts. The
Bcnrhons have spread their majorites
50 thin in some of the districts that they
cannot hold them.
Already at II special election the
toaltioniSts have redeemed the Nor
folk district, which the BOurbons eX-
pcrt"d 10 carry, and have elected a
Senator and two Representatives to the
Legislature, but not in time to break
III" two-third Bourbon majority, by
which they have been carrying partisan
legislation through this winter with a
high hand. II is very evident that the
BonrbonS cannot maintain their footing
in Virginia without Danville riots, the
pistol and the shot gun.

The Trade Dollar.

1t is stated that Chairman Bland will
lead the opposition in Congress to the
bill for the retirement of the trade dol
lar, because it require. that the amount
received shall be deducted from the
amount of silver bullion required to be
bought and coined monthly by the act
of 1873. 1t is too bad that legislation
on this or any other subject, should be
controlled by few owners of silver
mines, and the people of the entire
country put to inconvenience and loss
for their benefit. The easiest way to
dispose Of the trade dollar would be to
make it legal tender, the same as the
Bland dollar Fair dealing on this and
every other question will prove the best
policy, as justice and honesty must
prove the highest expediency in the
end
Congress should never have given
spectators the opportunity to flch
from any class their legitimate profits,
and We hope that there will be no more
legislation to benefit mine owners,
brokers, or any class of Spectators
The producers of value, the hewers and
wood and drawers of water, are more
entitled to special legislation than the
" Silver Kings" and the sooner our
Representatives in Congress understand
this the better il will be- for our couu-
try.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-While
the Democratic National Committee
during its recent session here carefully
avoided discussion of the Preside ential
outlook in formal way ~ Q COMMITTEES
there was good deal of side talk
among individual members of this sub
ject. One significant feature Of the
sentiment was most prominent, and
that was the apparent realization of the
sharp fight that must be made TO insure
Democratic success. This is significant,
because q year ago Democratic politi.
clans here were confident of any easy
victory and were busy parceling out the
Offices. Even Republicans In office and
out were disheartened and inclined to
give everything up In advance. After
the fall elections matters changed some
what, and the latter gained courage,
and the Democratic Congress began to
admit that their opponents had fight
ing chance. From the tone :assumed
among the national representatives here
last week the fighting chances seem TO
have shifted to the other side, and some
of the members of the committee take
still more gloomy view OF the political
situation.
1t was acknowledged on all sides
that II the Democrats stood any show 1t
was because they would BE- able to make
the best use Of all their resources. A
member of the committee now here says
that the party cannot shut Its eyes to
tho fact that success Is menaced In Con-
gress by the fruitless agitation of tho
tariff question, and out of Congsess by
the pulling and hauling Of the various
candidates and their friends.
While he deprecates the disagree
able apparent resentment against Mr..
Tilden and against Tilden's friends as
finally illustrated In the defeat of st.
Louis as place for the convention, he
deems 1t a matter of regret that the
party must get on its knees for Tilden's
counsel and probably be compelled to
accept Mr.. Tilden's man. This man is
Mr.. Flower, of New York. 1t is con-
csded that man with a barrel Is de-
sirable, and that man who can carry
New York without lessening Democrat
ic strength elsewhere Is more desirable
still.
The hostility TO the Tilden influence
is being carefully cultivated and foster
ed by the friends Of Mcdonald and
Morrison. The latter has industriously
encouraged the stories about Randall's |
retention Of the appropriation bills to
defeat tariff legislation, because Ran
dali Is the leader of the Tilden protec.
tive, hard money. national bank wind
III the House and is regarded as having
pooled his political issues with the sage
of Gramercy Park. 1t is charged that
Randall is Tilden's agent, but the COM
munity of political principles between
these two leaders may account for the
IDENTIFY Of political workmanship. At
one time it was thought possible that
Randall might become Tilden's candi.
date, but Democratic defeat in Penn.
sylvania has lessened that chance, and
the Tilden influences here have settled
upon Flower as with me accord. The
conviction is that there will be two
" bar'is' at Chicayo on the 9Th tfJuly.
one belonging 10 NJ Flower and one
TO Tilden, both in IT,. Flower interest.

The south Hern storm King.

The late Southern cyclone was much
more destructive of human life and
property than at first reported. The
public had been so much accustomed to
look in the northwest and west for such
storms that it could hardly conceive
that anything worse than slight
earthquake ever disturbed the equilib-
rum of the South, hence it is that only
after the cyclone is past that the public
mind is beginning to realize the full ex-
tent Of the damage. The area Of its
violence was unusually large, covering
half dozen Southern States. AT Oar.
lington, South Carolina, four persons
were killed and fifty houses were blown
down. At Palmetto, Georgia, the storm
ragged with remarkable fury at intervals
of two hours, beginning AT o'clock, p.
m, on Wednesday. Accompanying
the wind We're hailstOnes as large as
partridge eggs, and torrents of rain that
swept away houses, fences, and the very
soil. Near Lincolnton, two children
were killed and thirteen adults were
injured, some fatally. At a plantation
not far distant, several men were killed.
In Oconee County many lives We're lost.
In Harris County the hailstones We're
as large as goose eggs, and in Baldwin
the hail is said to have fallen to depth
Of two feet AT Grassy Knob, in the
same state, twenty persons are reported
killed by the cyclone This is a greater
destruction of life than occurred at any
point by the Ohio floods. But this does
not tell halfthe story Of destruction. At
Vicksburg, Mississippi, many houses
were wrecked, and several steamers
were sunk, the wind there attaining
velocity of sixty-eight miles an hour. 1t
is from North Carolina, however, that
the greatest destruction of life and prop
erty is reported. Entering the State at
Anson County the storm moved east,
destroying everything in its path. The
village of Rockingham was totally de-
stroyed. AT this point twenty-three
persons were killed and eighteen were
wounded, some of whom will die. Such
was the force of the wind that after
tearing TO pieces mill, it carried the
heavy millstones a distance of fifty
yards. Pursuing its course it killed
several persons in Libesyille, six near
Lillington, in Barnett County, and one
at Polkton, nor to mention large num-
her of houses destroyed. In Monroe
County, forty houses were wrecked and
several persons We're killed. While the
CHEF storm centre seems to be in the
northwest, meteorologi.ts tell us that
there is another of minor importance in
the cotton States Centreiug over GeOr-
gia, and third one, sill ofless import
ance, i'll Western New York. While
no country is wholly exempt from the
ravages of the storm king, little Della
ware may congratulate herself as living
out of the usual track Of cyclones and
Hoods during the continuance of their
more destructive pha,cS..
