Dynamite as an Argument.

The Irishmen in New York city who
telegraphed TO Mr.. RrDDLEBERGER
thanking him for his solitary vote in
the United States Senate General Ma
HONE did not vote with his colleague)
against Mr.. BAyARD's resolution de-
nouncing the crime committed last Sat-
urday in London must have acted hasti-
~ and thoughtlessly. In cannot be
that patriotic Irishmen, acquainted with
their country's wants and understand
ing human nature, could, after due re-
Election, approve the methods OF the
dynsmitards.
The whole human familyis interested
in this matter. The question for men
TO consider in this connection is whether
or not all governments are to be abol-
ishcd and chaos be allowed to come
again. Nay, much more. Life, liber-
ty, propcrty-rights, the pursuit OF happi-
ness, religion, civilization--all things
yaluabls---are involved.
Can mankind justify the use of dyna-
mite as an argument against govern
mental abuses? That is the point.
Stated in other terms, it is, Can men
yield to arson, murder, and assassina-
ton, as arguments in favor OF given
governmental policy? Dare they yield
to such arguments?
We can safely say that no govern
ment. no organization, no body-politic,
would dare to legitimize such methods
Of reasoning as that to which the mon
sters resorted who last Saturday at
tempted to blow up the Parliament
house in London. For if such Argyll
ments are good as against one kind OF
wrongs or evils, they are good as against
any other kind of wrongs or evils. IL Mr..
GLADSTONE may listen to such argu-
mcnts then the landowners may be ar
gued with in the same way, and the disci-
pies Of HENRY GEORGE, who hold that
all the evils from which mankind suffer
have grown out Of land-ownership, may
resort to dynamite to convince the land
lords that they are in the wrong and
must surrender not only their opinion
as to what is tight and what not right
in this matter. but their lands and
their houses.
Ii is not necessary to extend this arti.
Gle by further illustrations. All sensi.
Bile, reasoning men must perceive al
once that the whole structure of society
is at stake, since dynamite may be used
rs an argument in favor of any measure
or of any policy, or of any scheme o
any sort, public or private, which
can secure any number Of advo
Gates, however small. If a majority
of the voters favor any given policy oil
measure, they can accomplish theil
purpose at the ballot-box. The dyna
mite argument is the weapon of minori
ties, and no minority can be too small
and insignificant to resort to that argu,
ment if it be legitimate one.

Not very pale woman, nor yet Ian
guild and listless, or with waxen-looking
skin. She has rosy checks, firm step,
and a pleasing expression. She has
iron enough in her blood and strength

lacking in these important particulars
should take Browns Iron Bitters, in
which she will find the yigor she needs.
She can buy this most valuable tonic of

POWHATAN COUNTY.
Old Landmarks Burned-The Cold and Wet
Weather.


Weather.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch
PowHATAN, January q, 1885.
Some days ago the Store-hOuse of Mr.
|. Nelson Harris, in the town Of Jetfer-
son, was destroyed by fire, probably
the act of an incendiary. 1t was one
of the oldest and largest houses in the
place. The town of Jefferson, like most
of the villages on the south bank of
James river, to which in days gone by
the wheat and tobacco Of POwhatan and
the surrounding counties were wagoncd
overland. to be carried by the batteaux
of James river to Richmond, has been
going down ever since the opening of
the canal. 1t once had five or six stores,
large manufacturing hour-mill, and
large dep6ts for storing produce. But
since trade has sought other directions
and as several previous fires and the
high freshets of the river had destroyed
a number of the houses, and since the
Richmond and Allegheny railroad, by
having no depot near it, has left 1T out
in the cold, this destruction OF It's only
store and largest house seems to be It's
death-blow.
1t is said that even in the days of its
prosperity John Randolph, of Roanoke,
when on visit to his relative, Thomas
Mann Randolph, of Dungeness, on the
opposite side Of the river. paused in the
main street, and, in his peculiar tone
and manner, inquired of some of the
quidnuncs of the place, " How far am |
now from JefierSOn!" But as the vii
lage is situated at the junction of Solo
mons creek with the river. aifOrding a
magnificent water-pOwer, it is hoped
that in the development of new Virginia
the old borough may be restored to her
pristine glory.
Another old landmark, " Morgan
ham" on the road from the Courthouse
to Michaux ferry, was burnt last week.
1t was probably the result of an acct
dent. 1t once was owned by Major
Jacob Michaux, but for forty years or
more had been owned by members of
the Hicks family. 1t was probably one
of the oldest houses in the county.
Although we have had two cold spells
our farmers have hardly filled their ice
houses. The cold and wet weather
have not afforded any employment to
our people except that of preparing
their tobacco for market. ID.

Murray to illustrate Macaulays extraordi-

generous in money matters-of a princely
munifcence, in fact. Many a gentlemanly
beggar called on him in his rooms at the
Albany, and none ever went away without
at least guinea. One day a person Of de-
cidedly seedy aspect called and unfolded a
long story of sorrow. Macaulay listened.
only half touched, having good reasons for
taking his own view of the case. He had
already made up his mind to dismiss the
seedy gentleman with an aims when the
latter observed incidentally that he was
Trinity man. Macaulay thereupon wrote

A Delicate Question.

Mr.. LOGAN was yesterday unani-
mously offered the place Of President
pro tenn. Of the Senate, but declined it.
That unanimity lets out the secret. 1t
tells that the declination was agreed
upon beforehand. To have made Mr..
LOGAN President pro TEN. would have
been in bad taste, to say the least, and
we are glad that he declined the office.
II is little to the credit Of the Republic
can senators that they offered it to him.
The New York Times independent
Republican, talks Of the matter in the
following indignant strain
ITO put plainly the thought that is
in all serious minds 1t would be
taking chance in the lottery of assas-
sination. 1t would involve, if not an
invitation, a suggestion-remote, vague,
almost uncomfortable, but in the light
Of the immediate past, possible sug-
gestion--to some mind as unhinged by
partisan passion, as perverted by the
unsatisfied greed for Office, as fiercely
wrought upon by insane conceit as was
the mind Of Guiteau, to initiate the ex-
ample of Guiteau. The repetition Of
that awful crime, horrible as it is to
contemplate even the conception of it,
is not, given like conditions, as nearly
impossible as the crime itself seemed
before it was committed. No
true American can regard except
with humiliation and the deepest sorrow
the situation that led to that deed.
None can accept the motives that in
spired it as among the normal forces
that are to be contemplated in esti-
mating the future. But they existed.
They did their dreadful work. 1t is
not impossible that they may be again
awakened, if we place athwart the
hopes of a mad spoils-hunter the life of
a President, and in the line Of succession
a man whom the spoils-hunter deludes
himself with thinking the champion Of
his class. The memory Of Mr.. Gar
fields fate should have prevented all
discussion of General Logan's selection
to preside over the Senate. The men,

the Poles was matter that came un-
der the control OF the Kingdom OF
Prussia. and that the Reichstag had
nothing to do with IL. True, some Of
the most violent opponents OF the
Chancellor's Capitalization measures
did not agree with him, but it cannot
be doubted that his explanation will sat

is calculated to strengthen his hands in

one sense, it is noticeable fact that
no statesman caters moro 70 the masses,

such adroit move as the above, any
