THE PLANTERS Bank affair at Peters
burg naturally raises the question of the
relation existing between high estimation
of the value of General Mahone's toe-nail
parings and the ability of the man who
holds that estimation not only to put mon
ey in a bank for the benefit of the General,
but to draw $4,000 out of it for his own
benefit, and that, too, though he was in re.
duced circumstances when he was elected

THE National Republican Committee has
given seats in the national republican con-
yention to the Malone delegation and ex-
cluded the delegation sent by the Virginia
republicans. Whether the convention VIII
ratify their action will be determined to-
day. Fit shall, and if, in addition, it shall
nominate Arthur, the democratic majority
in Virginia next November will be immense.
The majority will be large anyhow, but
that it may be as large as possible, SO as to
bury Malone, most of the white people in
Virginia sincerely hope that both the posi-
bilities referred to may become realities.
For once in his life, therefore, General Ma
hone has the satisfaction of knowing that
his wishes are shared by large number OF
the white people of his own State

Mr.. CASH THOMAS, like most all other
sensible Northern men who live long
enough in the South to understand the real
condition of its affairs, from being radicai
republican has become pronounced demo
Graf. and is editing democratic paper III

Iowa or Wisconsin, and settling in COM
munity composed chiefly of Northern peo-
nile. and in which there were comparatively
few negroes, he retained his radical ideas as
long as he remained there, but moving 10
th. "bIuck belt" near Norfolk, where the
negroes, having the majority, supply the
scalawags with the necessary votes to man
aoe affairs as the latter desire, short resi-
dence therein was sufficient to teach him
that not only the States, but his own indl-
yiaual interest, and that Of every other man
who lad any Virginia property, was impef-
lied by such political domination, and that
the strongest motive Of human nature sell
preservation compelled him to change his
political utilization and to JOIN the party
composed Of people whose taxes support
the State government, and who in promot-
inc their own material interests, necessarily
promot those of the whole Stale.

IT NOW turns out that not only the courts,

Though there IS nothing to excite
the admiration of any sensi-
bic person in any attempt to
eat an extraordinary amount
Of certain food in a given time. yet
when there are persons foolish enough
to make these attempts, one who is
interested in physiology can but look
on with some interest. To gain a
wager a man in this city recently ate
sixty eggs per Gay for five days, and
by SO doing fairly deserves his name
recorded in history along side of
that other New York man who sue
ceeded in eating two quails day for
sixty Gays, and In immortalizing these
two we should not forget the French
man who put away thlrty-two dozen
oysters at one sitting, and then sat
down TO a hearty dinner Some day.

from oblivion, and properly inscribed
upon the base of a monument. Prob
ably one OF the most harmless, and al

feats that could be attempted on 9
wager is the effort to eat ten crackers
in ten minutes without drinking any
water People who are in the habit
of boiling their, food at each meal
with a sip of water between each
mouthful will find this very diff
cult task. and it may, perhaps, be a
very good thing for them to practice
in order to for better habit OF
masticating and ensalivating THEN

Dear reader, shall [ give you a few

Symptom IA long haired man is
seen pounding up piece of quartz
about the size of mans hand.
Symptom 1.-TWO men meander up
to MIN and ask him where he got it.
Symptom 3-The long haired man
looks down into the mortar, and lies
gently to the inquiring minds who
inger near.
Symptom 4-More men come
around. The long-haired man gets a
gold pan and doubles himself up over
the ditch and begins to pan.
Symptom 5-Two hundred more
men come out of saloons and other
mercantile establishments and join
the throng
Symptom 6-The long haired man
gets down to black sand, and showed
several colors about the size of blue
jays ear.
Symptom z times-Several solitary
horsemen start out with some pack
mules and blank location notices and
valley tan. The plot deepens. The
telegraph gets red hot. Men who have
been impecunious for 10, these many
years come around to pay some old
