GENERAL MALONE having positively re-
fused to unite with Messrs. Rives and De-
zendorf, chairmen of the two other factions
of Virginia republicans, in a call for a State
convention of all opposed to the democrat
JIG party, Mr.. Yost, the Virginia member
Of the national republican committee, ad-
vises the two first to unite in call for a
convention oftheir respective factions, and
the General TO have his convention meet at
the same time and place. BY this means
the General will be enabled by his methods
to manipulate both conventions without
subjecting himself to the ndignity of re-
cognizing the political existence of Messrs.
Rives and Dezendorf. But the spirit of ill.,
subordnaton, if not of actual rebellion
prevalent among his republican followers,
bodies no good to the Generals political lead
ership, and looks very much ~ if some one
else would be the chairman of the Virginia
delegation in the next national republican
convention.

THERE IS no sense in hesitating about up
roofing Mahopeism from every Office in the
State upon which it has laid its vile hands,
unless it be protected by the plain letter Of
the Constitution. Statutes made by one
Legislature can be repealed by another. as
the Mahoneites have demonstrated. There
fore no mere repealable law should long
stand in the way of ousting Mahoneites
The whole system of Mahoneism is fraud,
and should be extirpated without compunc.
ton and by the most expeditions means.
Indeed the Mahoneites expect such fate,
and ii they don't meet it will attribute their
good luck to the want of back bone rather
than to the magnanimity and conservatism
of the representatives of the people of the
State.

IT SEEMS that Mr.. Arthur, notwithstand-
ing the assertions of bis friends to the con-
trary, does want the republican nomination
for the next Presidency. People in Wash
ington just from Texas openly assert that
the President has removed capable, expe-
rienced and efficient republicans from office
in that State for no other purpose than to
secure Texas delegation to the next ma
tional republican convention that will sup
port him for the nomination of that con-
venton. But it is notsurprising that man
who was removed from minor Office, by
his own party ''for cause" and in order
that the duties of that Office might be con-
Quoted honestly does any thing to retain
80 great prize as the Presidency. 1t is by
no means improbable that by the influence
of his position Mr.. Arthur may secure a
Southern delegation in the next national
republican convention, but it is equally as
probable that the Northern delegation in
that convention will not submit to a nomi-
nation made by men from section in which
the nominee will not receive one electoral
vote

says: "If the country is to be governed by

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1884

IT SEEMS that the editor of the National
Republican bears malice against the repub-
lican Senators who refused to support him
in his late candidacy for Secretary of the
U. s. Senate, for he gives them shot when
ever he has an opportunity. Becoming aware
that some of them are opposed to reopening
the "bloody chasm" and again raising
aloft the 'boody Shirt be makes that the
occasion for railing at them as follows:
"On the republican side there is dan
seroua element Of false men who pretend to
believe a lie in order that they may thereby
avoid the task Of dealing with an ugly
truth. These men properly belong in the
lemocrtic party. They not only do not
stan,d BY the great principle Of equality be-
fore he law, but they betray it on all occa-
sions. They sheer at the truth and its adj
vocates, and change the subject when the
rights of citizens and the duty of govern
ment are spoken Of.
Sneaks and snivelers, who cringe before the
foe aud who whisper their dissent into the
ears Of editors aud correspondents OF demo-
cratic and assistant democratic newspapers
when political crimes are denounced, as in
the Sherman resolutions, will know that
they are not republicans, and will go into
the democratic camp, where their syco-
phancy and treachery will be appreciated. y
Among those who did not vote for him
was Mr. Hale, of whom he says:
1T has been suggested that Senator Hale
exhibits in debate the spirit necessary for
the leader of Greedy relief expedition, and
that he would perhaps be glad to have the
honor This would settle the dispute in q
manner as hatteripg to the Senator as it
would be satisfactory to the country"
Mr. Gorham, or George, as his great
captain, General Malone, calls him, is evil
IDENTITY not contented with that condition in
which it has pleased Providence to place
him.

THE COTTON spinners at Fall River have
struck rather than submit to a reduction in
their wages. And yet the owners OF the
mills in which they were employed are pro-
tected by heavy duties on cotton. This is
only another of the daily instances that
make it go plain that those who run may
read, that's protective tariff does not protect
the workingmen of the country.
