The VIrglnl,n's Criticisms.

In one Of its ponderous articles
on a certain day Of the Senstes
late executive session the Virginidn
blends Riddleberger on an assump-
ton of facts that never occurred
in executive or any other session.
Not a single statement upon which
the criticism is based has any
foundation in fact. The Virginian
doubtless got its information from
the guess of some very enterprls-
ing CORE spondent. We know they
do often guess at executive session
events and give out their guesses
as facts. We shall inform the
Vlrginian that every senator, the
clerks and the sergeant at arms
with two assistants are sworn to
divulge nothing about executive
sessions, and no body else is adj
mitted even within the outside
doors that surround the senate
chamber. No one but q perjurer
could tell anything OF any debate
nor even Of an appointment till
after confirmation. These latter
frequently get out in advance from
parties themselves or departments.
The Hirgiaian might be right in ita
criticisms if they we're based on
the slightest foundation of truth.

The Alexandria Gdzettee gathers
from the report OF the present
Superintendent of the Western Lu-
natic Asylum that the jails were
emptied oflunatics before the read
justers took hold of the matter in
1879. We hope for the sake of the
good name of that bourbon super
intendent that no such thing APP
pears in his report. In 1879,
among the first things done by the
readjuster general assembly was to
make a special appropriation OF
$50, 900 to relieve that institution
of debt, and its Indebtedness tor
groceries and other supplies in and
about Stanton was such ~ that
it had we'll nigh forfeited its credit
Notwithstanding it was a state
institution. Besides, the regular
appropriation bill increased the
annual allowance to this asylum
$4,000. The capacity Of both the
Western and Eastern asylums was
enlarged by increased appropri-
atoms, and after that the jails were
emptied of lunatics. The records
of all tho jails, and the asylums
too will show this. The recollec-
tons of men retain it. Never un-
til now it has been denied. But
after all it is only the Gazette.

Land In Virginia and Pennsylvania.

About q year ago there was o
large emigration from Ohio 70
Western Virginia. Many farmers
we're attracted bS the superior
cheapness of good lands in the
sister State, and thought to grow
rich by raising food in . region
where the production Of food is the
only industry. As in all such
cases, they faced the risk Of q
famine, and it now is upon them.
Famines, occur only in exclusively
agricultural communities. They
had one in Patrick county, Va,
some years ago. Aud these far.
mers ought to have known that the
lands they were buying we're just
az dear a. those left. The value
OF land depends not upon the in,
trinnc qualities Of the sell, but
upon labor which has been expended
on it or on land in its vicinity.
And no labor raises the value Of
land so fast as does that laid out In
building and working factories.
Naturally the soil of Virginia is
worth more than that of Peunsyl'
yania. But Pennsylvania average
$4,000 an acre, whit Virginia is
worth but $l0.S9 an acre.

HOME TO ROOST.

Something like ayear has elapsed
since a bank suspended in Peters
burg, and the bouIbOns rent the
air with the howl that this was the
home of Malone and Cameron /;
therefore it was a readjuster ex-
plOsiOn and fraud. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that but one man who
had ever voted that ticket had any
connection with the bank; that
neither of the gentlemen above
named had any connection with il
as officers, directors or even stock
holders, no correction has yet ap-
peared in any bourbon paper we
have seen except one published in
Petersburg-The Index.Appeal.
Now We have two remarkable
suspensions in Norfolk, one for
80, 100000 deposits alone, and one
for$l, 6OO,O 900, and both bourbon to
the core-the frst being also .

CURED in this state within our
recollection, II indeed they ever
had a counterpart here. They
rather be6t New York than
Virginia.
Were we inclined to resent bour-
bon effrontery and boasting, we
might cite two other failures Of
banks peculiarly bourbon in the
formation Of their directories; but
We think the gentlemen in charge
in both cases are honest men and
meant TO pursue an honest bank
ing business. Our only purpose is
to call attention to the blatant
phariseeism that respects no per-
sonal feeling in discussing other
people and their affairs, proclaim.
ing all the while from the house
tops that integrity resides only
with them and theirs. Honesty
and truth are insepsrable. The
man who ISLANDERS or libels his
fellow man even to attain q politi'
cal end cannot be honest.
There is another reminder to rs
in rejecting on these matters a.
lately developed and developing.
In the midst of the excitement OF
last fall we heard OF numerous in
stances where men Of means and
acknowledged integrity were told
that their politics forbade loans to
them; in other cases they were
told by vulgar agents that credit
for fertilizers could not be given to
readjusters and republicans; in
other cases the same reason was
assigned why houses would not be
rented, merchandise sold, pasturage
furnished, fuel supplied or labor
employed. No honest man, no
gentleman ever resorted to such
base means Of coercing public
opinion, or purchasing or intiml'
dating suffrage. Such men are
never to be trusted, and the eau
tons, self.respecting man will
never put himself in their power or
his means or property under their
control.
Many chickens have come homo

THE PRINCE or WALES IN IRELAND.

last week the Prince of Wales,
accompanied by the Princess OF
Wales and their eldest son, visited
Ireland and were we'll received
The Princess of Wales is popular
in all the British dominions, and In
view OF the intense loyalty to Eng.
lands rule characteristic OF the
Protestants Of the North Of Ireland,
there is nothing specially worthy of
comment in the cordiality of the
welcome accorded to the royal visi.

in the "loysl" North.
There is no widespread feeling Of
loyalty to English rule in Ireland,
and it is worse than folly TO pretend
that there is. Rapturous expires.
sions Of loyalty greeted Queen Vic
toria on her last visit 10 Ireland and
in marked contrast with those dem.
onstrations have been the cold and
inhospitable treatment just given
Albert Edward, many Of the mu
inequalities refusing TO vote I'D.
dresses of welcome.
To make the beat of q bad situa-
ton, the loyal element has organ.
lied Citizens Committees in sever.
al large cities, to offer the welcome
refused by the authorities, and IN
Dublin the Castle influence with
the tradesmen sufficed to secure
show of welcome. In other cities
it probably will be different. This
visit will only serve to draw the
line more sharply between the ma.
tional party and the "West Brit.
ons.' The visit Of these royal per-
sOnsgss will winnow the Irish PEG.
pie into two hostile parties-a 70.
suit which certainly. will not con-
duce to the peace Of the island
Every man who takes part in the
welcome, will bea marked man with
the common people.
In the present situation in Ire
land sensible people will see merely
the indulgence Of a natural hope
and a reasonable belief that Ire
lands opportunity is coming in the
calamities that now threaten Eng.
land. In Hudibrastic phrase, the
patriotic Irishman repeats,
"Oh the dangers that environ
"ThOse that meddle with cold iron"
Just now England is meddling
good deal With cold iron, q remedy
to which she resorts with much
more slacrity than to fair argument
and merciful treatment. In the
Soudan and In Asia she has her
hands full, and it may be that out
of the fullness Of British trouble
and embarrassment Ireland may
force, if not absolute political indie
pendence at least community inde-
pendence and local selfgovernment.
At all events the Irish are evident.
~ too full Of hope Of such a posi-
BILE contingency to indulge just now
in in sincere expressions ofloyalty to
the House of Hanover. Whatever
else Ireland may want she certain
" does not feel herself In want of
Anglo Dutch princes.

Michigan and Ohio.

Michigan is a Republican State,
yet the Republicans have lost 1t by
from $4,000 to 10000 majority. The
winners in this case are not the
Democrats, as the Geographic dis
patches tell us, but a fusion ticket
of Greenbackers and Democrats.
Even this would have failed, had
not the Prohibitionists put a third
ticket in the field. 1t is true that
the Republicans carried the State
for Mr.. Blaine last November, in
the face Of all these difficulties. But
more Republicans will vote for a
Prohibition ticket in an off cleo
ton than in a Presidential year.
We do not see, therefore, that the
Democrats have much reason for
the congratulations they have ex-
changed over this very dubious
victory.
In Ohio the city elections were
awaited by both parties with great
anxiety. The one chance of the
Democracy in Ohio is to effect a
secure foothold in the large and
growing cities of the State. They
showed their anxiety in this point
by the barefacedly partisan meas
ures adopted in the Legislature to
secure these cities to their party.
Rut they lost them nearly all last
week Cincinnati, Columbus, Toledo,
even Mansfeld-where they have
had their way for twelve years
were lost to them. The prospect
is that Mr.. McLean's hope of sue
ceoding Mr.. Sherman in the Senate
will prve q delusion. He and his
friends have not deserved success.
Tho Ohio Democracy, under Mr..
Pendlston and Mr.. Thurman, was
a party Of principles, though fire.
quently Of wrong principles. Mr..
Mclean and his friends seem to
have no principle but to defeat the
Republicans. Their regeneration
In the matter OF the Scott law
bearing upon the liquor question
was enough of itself to rob them of
public respect. And their munich
pal legislation was such shameless
invasion OF popular rights to Of.
feet a partisan advantage as must
have roused any selfrespecting city
TO defeat their candidates.

CAN'T HIDE THE CL0VER FOOT.

During the argumentof the Nlr-
GINA bond cases by the lawyers
employed by treacherous funder-
ism some very mean and equally
false accusations we're made by tho
so-called attorneys who were paid
to do Just that dirty work. 1t was
said by the swiney Swayne that
Virginia could not justify her
substituted remedy by alleging a
single lost or fraudulant coupons.
1t was a notorious fact thai during
Gov. Kemper's term as many az
$4,000 missing bonds were re-
ported by the second auditor at
one time, and in another office there
was large deficiency for which
punishment was inflicted by the
courts. 1t was frequently asserted
and generally admitted that q
million dollars would not cover
lost, stolen and fraudulent coupons
and bonds Of the state.
But now that the argument is
over aud the court will take cog
nizance of nothing that was not
Immediately before it, new evil
dence and new facts are coming to
light which would have been of
great benefit to the state against
her home and foreign pursurers.
The New York papers of Monday
have the following dispatch from
Richmond:
RICHMOND, Va, April 10 Especially
-"Branch & Co., bankers, of this
city, in 1879 bought Virginia bonds
in New York which had been stolen
from the Treasurefs office here.
After they had been refunded but
not cancelled they we're offered for
second time to the State for fund
ing but refused, and thereupon
Branch & Co. took legal steps to
force their reception. The Supreme
Court has decided against Branch
& Go. 1t is said that there are a
number of bonds of this character
out.o
Such was known to be the case
when the readjusters took the
helm; but it was only this week
that the state court of appeals was
asked to make the state redeem
bonds which had been sold as
stolen, but for which other bon DIS
had been issued under the funding
and McCulloch bills. 1t was adj
mitted that bonds had disappeared
uncancelled, bearing coupons pass
ing by delivery from 1871 down to
1879; but such facts could not be
gotten before the judicial tribunals
until Virginia's own sons had ma
ligned her, their hired substitutes
slandered her, and their newspapers
libelled her.
Virginians will bear these out
RACES in mind till day OF reckoning
shall come, and woe will be unto
him who tries to explain away his
practical decets by new promises
and personal abuse.

VIRGINIA POLITICS.

Is there such a thing as political
discussion in Virginia Have we
any politics in this state now dis.
tinct from merely personal issues !
1t is we'll enough for voters hereto
fore classified with either of the po-
litical parties that have divided
Virginia sentiment, to ponder these
questions.
That brilliant and gifted French
journalist and philosopher, Edmond
About, dead only a few years, was
said by the Bohemlans of Paris to
be 30 conservative, that had he
been born while the world was in
its formative condition and not yet
out of chaos, he would have said,
"Let Va preserve chaos" Certain
~ we have chaos in Virginia poll
tics now, and it is hard to say in
which party the confusion is most
evident and most angrily maintain
ed. Like the quarrelsome couple,
to whom marriage instead of being
bond of union was merely the OPP
portunity for contention, aud whose
case was stated by the poet:
"she this way pulls; he that way draws
"And both find fault with equal cause"
factions are rending both the great
political organizations of our state.
II is a melancholy spectacle. Ours
is a country governed by public
opinion. Parties are merely organ
lied expressions of public opinion.
Our state, of all American COM
monwealths, has been the fruitful
womb of ideas, of opinion, and of
sentiment. 1t has never been the
nursery Of factional quarrels where
men merely were involved. Vir-
GINA has ever been the battle
ground of ideas, and at least two
struggles for empire have been
closed upon her soil. This too with
in q century. In October, 1881,
CORVALLIS surrendered at York.
town, in Virginia, and British ty.
ranny over the colonies got its
death blow then. Just one hun.
dred years after that event that
rang through the world and pre-
saged struggles for popular liberty
wherever there was the re motest
chance Of success, Virginia gave
another victory to freedom OF opln-
ion and of conscience in the victory
of readjustment with all that re-
adjustment implied, of liberated
thought of emancipation from as
sumption, Of real integrity in deal
ing with the states obligations as
to money, and OF enlarged views as
to the feelings of her people for the
rest of mankind.
What has been done with that
victoryi Let nobody imagine that
the people of Virginia have forgot
ten it. Vain will be the belief of
anybody that the people decline an
other contest, whenever it shall be
offered with the leagued enemies Of
the state. But they will not select
as leaders men of either factional
association OF autocratic preten-
sions. Political parties are not
made up OF such material. Ihey
are OF thspeople. Those who lead
them are selected merely because
they voice popular sentiment; not
at oil because they make that senti.
ment, or educate or direct it. Mean
while state conventions are ahead
of us, and when they shall have
been held, party fealty will assert
itself, and personal quarrels, let us
hope, will be adjourned, while the
reason and interest Of the people
are appealed to with serious and
sustained argument.
