At the Pennsylvania state fair the

sought among the crowded colony for
the queen bee, and having caught her,
showed her to his audience who were
safely standing outside his garze tent.
He then deposited her in a little wire
cage made expressly for her: intro
duced her to her friends, and
when she had issued her COM
nlands for their attendance at her new
home he put her into the handsomely
furnished hive which he had prepared
for her reception Mr.. Todd handled
the little insects as if he were ignorant
of the fact that they 81 carried very
ugly weapon, and he appeared to be on
terms Of affection with them all. They
crawled over the bald part of his head,
they swarmed on his hands and arms,
and they got. in his beard, but they
seemed to think it WAS all play, and he
appeared to enjoy the fun. The aston

A CARD FROM PAGE MCCARTHY.
RICHMOND, Va, March 5, 1884

To the editor Of the Richmond State:
There is a card in the Wig of this morn
lug from Mr.. John 5. Wise, the object of
which seems to be an explanation es -
he did not challenge me IN answer my
ticle charging him with hs:- 20 an ar
witness against his Sls'~ g "suoorned
reason is that lie j. : ana lhe a'legeo
he had re,t,- -.as given up duelling. If
ther,, his case with that statement
hl- light have been claim to dignity in
- plea, but when he calls me "Sir Lucus
liigser" must say that the comparison
cohlu have no erfoundation than his own
ilbeness 10 Bob Acres, whose reform az
dua!ist only occurred in the face Of an ad-
versary whom his excited fancy exaggera-
ted just as Mr.. Wise does me.
Mr.. Wise has mistaken ridicule for what
he is pl leased to term 'abuse," for | certainly
treated his exploits as a stump speaker on
the witness stand only in the light of facts,
referring rather to his intention than to any
harm that his hearsay testimony could do,
innocuous by it's over zeal against his State
and satirzed by his doubtful position in a
contested seat in Congress.
Perhaps he will further sisnalize his re-
form by treating the country 10 the particu
lars Of his contest with Mr.. Massey, in which
during the taking of the evidence, this sud-
denly reformed hero of thirteen duels on
paper slapped the face Of a grey-baired
preacher This would be a good piece of
testimony latter he changed the record) TO
put upon the bioody-shirt issue and, artist
icaly ground out by the committee, might
set the precedent for intro ducing the blood
curlling picture he has dawn of me.
AS to his paying profession this is the
| first that has been heard Of it, and when he
makes money the stand ard of respectable
ty, people will naturally inquire if it came
by work.
The people who kr.ow US both may Judge
Of the comparative civilization of the two
men, and any others who are interested in
Mr. Wise's literary compositions are well
come to his autobiography and his interest
ing portrait of himself, which may do for a
family picture to hang in the kitchen where
he receives colored statesmen.
Mr.. Wise states that would be glad to
get an opportunity ''for some gentleman TO
kill him. (mej.
When | reach that point I should GER
tainly not apply Up Mr.. Wise, and for two
reasons:
1st. His unsupported testimony, which he
himself does not believe, is insufficient to
establish him as y. gentleman.
I'd. The hero OF thirteen bIoodless paper
duels is not the E,ersou one would naturally
seek to do the job
Mr.. Wise's testimony is good only against
himself as an nndeniable proof that be is

way it is summed up. Capt. McCarty has
been the recipient of many and warm con-
CALCULATIONS on the way he squelched Mr..
Wise. His card has been universally prais-

Severe beautifully satiric and worded in
gentle manly terms, it could be, and indeed
was read in many parlors in this city. The
fact that Captain McCarty has stood forth
unselfishly and made the cause of Virginia
his own is, or it should be, thoroughly ap-
preciated here. The Campaign will publish

"Suppose the number of members re-

claim that he is not compelled to call the
session now. The constitution, they claim,
saws the Governor shall call an extrs ses-
sion when requested by two thirds of the
legislature but it does not say when ne
shall call it. Therefore according TO their
theory he can call the session at any time
within two years and they think he will do

right on the record and yet urge Cam
ercn not to call the session this year.
The Southwest is especially interested in
the matter OF an extra session es some OF
the measures in which it is directly inter-
ested may fail if there is an adjournment
within the next week. Indications point to-
night very strongly TO the probability OF
call of two-thirds of the members for an
extra session, but whether or not Cameron
will respect the call is matter for conjecture.
He has so far shown very little respect for
the wishes of the majority of the Legisla-
ture and has, on the contrary. manifested q
disposition to ihwart them when he could.
The friends of Farr will gain by an early
adjournment of the Legislature.

a CAPTIVE CREw.-A Dutch expedition

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH Z.

EVER SINCE the republican system of con-
Quoting federal elections by deputy I. ;.
marshas was established, it has been no
unusual thing for such officers in Virginia
when they found elections going against the
republicans, to arrest the election judges at
certain precincts, and thereby close the polls
ut those precincts and deprive the demo-
Gratis of the majorities they would receive
at them. To put stop to such loss in tu-
ture the Legislature has wisely enacted q
law authorizing election judges who may
hereafter be arrested by federal officers 10
delegate their authority and duties to such
bystanders US they may select, previous to
being dragged before l. s. judge, commits
siouer. or to prison.

FROM WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, D. c., March 7, 1854
1t is reported to-day that the bill to ex.
tend the bonded term of whiskey will be
called up in the House to morrow, and that
it will be opposed by Mr.. Randall With one
of the appropriation bills.
The Judiciary Com mittee of the House
agreed to-day to report bill providing hat
when man is in duress under process as
the result of final judgment in State court
of>general jurisdiction, he shall not be SUBJ
jects to wrts of habeas corpus from the fed
eral courts.
The impression is strengthening that
when the tariff bill comes up in the House
it will be antagonized by bill to amend
the internal revenue laws that will abolish
the tax on tobacco, reduce that on whiskey,
and allow free distillation of fruits, aud that
securing this, the democrats will be satisfied
t. let the tariff bill lie over until more
convenient season.
