The argument in the first of the Virginia
coupon cases will be concluded to-day. The
other two, that of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, aud the Parsons case will then
come up. General Swayne, in his argument
for the bondholders yesterday, was very
severe upon the State for what he termed
her attempt to rob her creditors-more so
than any of the other counsel. This was
thought to be strange, from the fact that he
is of Virginia stock and that his family sold
their slaves, the security upon which Vir-
ginia created her debt, before they removed
to Ohio. Attorney General Garland con-
cluded his argument for the State to- day,
and Mr.. Evarts closed the case for the bond
holders in an able speech of two hours dura-
ton. Mr.. Evarts founded his argument
upon the real gist of the case, which ia that
the coupon killer bill impairs the obliga-
ton of q contract and is therefore uncon.
stitutional. Several of the Virginia lawyers
who have been present during the whole
argument, and who have heard all the sues-
tions propounded by the court to the coun-
sci, concur in the opinion that the decision
of the Court will be in favor of the State and
against the bondholders. If it be so, the
question Of the State debt of Virginia will
be effectually eliminated from the politics
Of that State, for no matter what an indiyid-
usi might do it is certain that no repre-.
sentative State government will insist upon
paying debt which according to the for
NAL opinion of the highest court 10 the ma
ton it is not bound to pay.
A gentleman connected with the Alexan-
dria Canal, who is here to, day, says the
water will he turned on that canal about
the 18th proximo. He also says that in
stead of destroying that canal as Senator
Riddleberger wants to do, Congress should
make an annual appropriation to keep it in
order, as its navigation Is Of vastlyfmore i'm
portance to commerce than that Of many of
rivers for which appropriations are made.

THE Mysterious MANDRAKE.-Tl

THE MYSTERIOUS MANDRAKE.-The
gloomiest superstitions ever attached to the
mandrake and not few of them survive.
The plant was believed to grow underneath
gibbets and to shrek and groan when pulled
up, which cries falling on the ears of any
living thing must prove fatal Hence, it is
still customary among the ignorant peasant
~ OF Germany when gathering the man
drake for its high medicinal qualities. to tie
a dog to the plant and compel him to pluck
it up, the bystander stopping his ears mean
while. The root is love charm among the
southern Europeans and is used also as an
oracle for telling events and answering ques
lions by movement of the head.-Inter-

GENERAL MALONE, alarmed by the atti-
tude assumed by the Cameron wing of his
party and by the straghtout republicans,
says, through his personal organ, "if Vir-
ginia cannot be made sure republican
recruit, then no Southern State can be, and
the republican party will lag superduous on
the stage, in hopeless minority" Then,
good bye republican party for if there be
one thing in the future rs sure as if it be-
longed to the past it is that Virginia can
not be made sure republican recruit,
especially if General Malone be allowed to
remain in sole and supreme command of the
republican party in the State.

AsrHE fact that national and municipal
elections occur at the same time in the city
of New York enables the republicans to
profit by dickering with the different dem
ot ratio factions in that city, the republican
Senate of that State yesterday defeated the
bill changing the time for holding NUM-
cipal elections in New York city from fall
to spring. There can be no real reform III
politics where the republicans are in power
and the sooner the U. s. Senate shall as
sumo the political complexion of the House
of Representatives aud of the Executive
tho sooner will retrenchment aud reform
manifest their good effects throughout the
entire country.
