STILL GOIEG SLOW.

The President is still going too
slow. TO suit the democratic party
at large, in the matter of removals.
The Virginia democrats are par
ticularly troubled over the delay
in removing the republican office
holders. With almost every office
in the State in the hands of repub-
licans, and the well known election
methods Of Malone, the present
campaign appears to be an uphill
fight on their part.
AZ far as the administration is
concerned, it deserves no efforts on
thepart of the Virginia democrats,
and were it not for the local aspect
of the case, it would be well that
Malone should win his fight, and
give the administration a deserved
rcbuke. Unfortunately it Is q
matter of home interest, mainly,
and on that account, every nerve
will be strained to defeat Malone,
and oust him from power. The
administration will earn little
credit and few thanks, for the as
sistance it failed to furnish.
BY displacing the republican;
and placing the democrats, the ad
ministration could have sent th'
Virginia democrats into the cam
paign full of enthusiasm and cour
age. As tits they are half whipped
already, while the republicans ar
pretty well united and full of de
termination. There is time yet TO
the President to change the face o
affairs, but judging from his pas
it is hardly likely that he vii
render any material assistance
He is not a success, as part,
strengthener.

turned to Nashville Thursday after
noon. They are both pleasant, high
toned gentlemen, and seemed TO re-
gret very much the unpleasant duty
of enforcing the law against distillers,
and they expressed themselves as
strongly opposed to mOlesting distil-
lers upon mere technicalities, and
where there was not prima facie evil
dence of intention to defraud the gov
ernment. They said on several occa-
sions while here that they would not
mOlest distillers on mere rumors of
Irregularities, and if there are other
distillers who have brandy secreted,
and would return it to the designated
places of storage before the gauger
comes around, they would not be mo-
Tested. We hope all the distillers
who are now in trouble with the reve-
nue. department may be able to COM
promise on liberal terms, and that nc
others will putthemselves in jeopardy
by future violations.
