FAR FETCHED.

The Neus dnd Courier takes the
position that 1t. Gov. Sheppard ought
not to engage in the defense of the per-
sons charged with lynching Culbreath
because it is within the range Of posi-
bility that he may he called upon hero
after to pass upon their applications for
pardon. Some Of u contemporaries
who love to pirate Of the laxity
Of the administration Of law may
say this is far fetched and tell our city
friend that catching must prccede hang
ing.
Seriously, we don't think the posi-
ton Of the NeWs and Courier is Cor
rect. The law does not prohibit The
1t. Governor from practicing law. His
salary does not enable him to give up
his profession. This doctrine if en-
forced, would amount to prohibiting dis
tinguished lawyers from aspiring to the
Office of Governor or Lieutenant Gov
ernor, as it is in the range Of possibili-
ty that they might be called to pass up
on the application for pardon of some
m they had previously defended. 1t
would not be contcnded, we take it, that
Mr.. Sheppard should cease to defend any
accused person. This case stands on
the same footing as any other. 1t is not
to be tried by different rules and laws.
The same presumption o~finnocence shell
tiers and protects these accused persons
hat is thrown around all those accused
Of crime till their guilt is proved. They
are entitled to be heard by counsl Of
their own choice. Moreover we do not
think it is right to assume that if called
to the Governors chair the 1t. Cover
nor would be Influenced in deciding
upon ar application for pardon by any
thing other than the strength Of the pa
pers submitted for his consideration.
The News and Courier goes so far
as to express the opinion that Senator
Butler ought not to appear for the de-
Tense in this case. because his position
will have influence with the jury The
Jury is sworn to decide the case upon
the law and the evidence. IT they are
not capable Of doing that without being
Influenced by extrinsic circumstances
they are unfit to sit as jurors. 1t is
true that some are so influenced. But
it would be so whether or not the counsel
were a distinguished and eloquent and
popular advocate and held no official
position.
We do not see that Senator Butler
and Lieut., Governor Sheppard violate
the dignity Of their Offices by defend-
ing these men.

MONTGOMERY AT THE HEAD OF
THE COLUMN.

We have no language sufficiently ade-
quate TO express our sense Of qualification
or in conveying our congratulations to the
Democracy of Montgomery county for the
splendid and unparalleled victory which
they achieved on Tuesday. 1t is the white
rose in the wreath of their victories. 1t is
the opening of new era in the future po-
litical history Of the party. Animosities
have been silenced, individual preferences
have succumbcd TO party obligation, and
personal ambition has been laid upon a
common altar in behalf OF the triumph OF a
common cause.
Eight hRSdred majority Write ii at the
head Of the column, and let it remain there
forever as thing of joy and beauty. 1t
will tell of Democratic fellowship and pro-
claim in trumpet tones what the Democracy
Of Montgomery can do when there is unity
and harmony in its ranks.
Eight hundred majority Chain ii To our
colors and make the welkin ring with the
music of victory. II is the olive branch OF
peace in our midst--it tells that the present
is full Of gladness, the future redolent with
further triumphs and larger prosperity,
and demonstrates openly and above'board
and without any mental reservations, that
whatever differences OF opinion may exist
among US We settle them ourselves, and
when the captain sounds the tocsin every
man hastens TO the post of honor and stands
firm on the line of duty.

ganized victory" Democrats OF Montgom.
cry, the honors Of brilliant campaign are
yours-nobly do you deserve them, and
that they will stimulate us 10 more earnest
endeavors and victories in the future, We
are satisfied, is the sincere wish of every
Democrat in the county.

VIRGINIA AND NEW YORK.

Victory verYwhere-victory in our own
State-victory at victory in Virginia
and New York.
The Old Commonwealth, "the mother of
statesmen and heroes" catching the spirit
of her proud motto, "Sic Semper Iyrannis,"
has risen in her might and trampled upon
the political vandals who have so long con-
trolled the State. 1t was fight against de-
bauchery, corruption and wckedness con-
trolled by one whose evil precept and de-
moralizing influence is, of itself, sufficient
TO blight the happiness Of any people. 1t
is the everlasting removal of VIM. Malone
from political power-a man whose name
is associated with every idea that is low,
mean, contemplate, Objectionable and dis.
reputable in public life. There is no single
event in the glorious victories Of Tuesday
that will 60 with more rapturous sweetness
to every Democratic heart in the State of
Virginia than the assignment Of this politi-
cal highwayman to obscurity He can never
acquire any return of power, and Virginia,
basking in the re-establishment of her honor,
her freedom and her prosperity, will dwell
with unexpressibe pleasure upon his politi-
cal overthrow and degradation.
The Democracy of New York, the EN-
pire State, ignoring Mugwumps and Mug
wumpian sympathy, has made glorious
fight and rolls up rousing majority II
was victory obtained upon broad and well
defined issues. The Republican party made
u determined and formidable struggle
They had every resource that courage and
enthusiasm could command in the fight,
and yet the Democracy won the day on
terms that admit of no doubt or controver-
sy-the verdict rendered was in favor OF
the great national Democratic party. 1t
sends a thrill of delight through every
Democratic heart and throws bright light
upon the future of true reform

that she must really fight something or
