Judge STAPLES, in his speech at
Christiansburg Tuesday, set a good ex-
ample. Our speakers and our commit
teemen cannot do better than see that
the facts in respect of the Democratic
record are kept before the people.
These facts constitute an argument for
the Democrats the force Of which no
amount of Republican fustian and
demagogy can break. They can be
grasped by any intelligent voter, and
when grasped will render him proof
against sophistry.

A BARREL EXPLODES.
Two Men Burned and saloon Somewhat
DAMAGED.
L..

New York Tines
Martin Byrne has a liluor-saloon on
the northeast corner of Lewis and Riy-
ington streets. At . o'clock yesterday
morning there were two customers and
the landlord in the place, and near one
Of the windows were three barrels.
One was empty, another had twenty
gallons Of proof spirits, and the third
iorty-two gallons Of the same
liquor. Henry McGoldrick, n night
Waterman, of No. % Broome street,
sat on the barrel which contained the
smallest quantity Of spirits and chatted
with Byrne, who stood not fer off, and
Thomas LestTange, an iron-moulder, OF
No. g Lewis street, sat Oh the empty
barrel, reading newspaper. The other
barrel stood on end between them, in
two inches of sawdust and rubbish.
ByIne says there was sudden puff
and flash as the upper head Of the
middle barrel shot to the ceiling, break
ing away four square feet of plaster.
McGoldrick, putting his hands to his
face, ran with Byrne, whose hair aud
face were slightly singed by the flash of
the ignited spirits, to the side Of the hall.
Les;rsnge, whose right leg was covered
with blazing alcohol, gained the street
bv the front door, and tumbled over and
over IN his agony until a naSser-bv ran
to stable, and, securing a horse
blanket, wrapped it around him. A
fre-alarm was struck, but when the
engine came Byrne had been so active
that there was little left for them to do.
The injured men were taken to Belle.
yue Hospital. McGoldrick was Sc
yerely burned about the face aud
hands. Lestrange had slight burns
about the body and a serious
bum on the right groin. Neither is ia

their verdicts? And did this conduct
eyince partial intent or not?
This question may be better answered
by considering it in connection with his
calling Judge Latham, Of the Hastings
Court Of Lynchburg, to take his place.
What resulted from that step deserves
g somewhat extended consideration an 1
will be discussed in another number.

$3.50; insured in the Peter Cooper
Company for $4,000. The loss on the
building is less than s1OO. Byrnc says
that the heat of Monday caused the bar

Of spirits to leak, and the leakage was
absorbed by the sawdust and 50 not

by match or cigar-stump igniting the

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
says:
The fight in Ohio this fall is for
the Republicans above all to save the
Senate and make it secure by the re-
turn from this most disputed Of States,
upon the most comprehensive and in
cisiye Of issues. Of the Republican
leader in the Senate, John Sherman, re-
elected"
And the fight in Virginia this fall is,
as far as MALONE is concerned, to
save himself and secure his reelection
to the Senate, thereby giving Virginia
seat in the councils of the malig-
nants. AS far as the Democrats are con-
cerned, one phase Of the fight is to elect a
Democrat to the Senate, thereby making
a great advance in the matter OF bring
ing the Senate into harmony with the
party Of peace and progress and of
abolishipg the iniquitouS internal-reve-

A Lesson.


1t is difficult to tell whether MURAT
HALsTEAD is the "Me-Too " oil
WHITELAw REID or WHITELAw
REID is the "Me-Too" OF MURAT
HALsTEAD. Certain il is that the
sympathy between these worthless Is
something remarkable. AT present
both are engaged in desperate ef-
forts to bolster up the fortunes OF
the Republican party in their re-
srcctiye States, and are pursuing
a policy so similar as to suggest
that there had been little confidential
confab over a pitcher of gore. Both
the Tribune and the Commercial Ga
zetfe have raised the bloody shirt and
are putting forth their best efforts to
fire the northern heart. Both have
raked up the Danville incident and, If
the Commercidl- Gazette is to be be-
lieved, the South is still in a state OF
red-handed rebellion. Here is speci-
men Of what it dished up to its readers
on Tuesday:
"But this day we wish to inquire
what sort Of peace they have in the
solid South. Is it the peace OF the
equal rights of man fairly recognized
and fair play for all? Or is it the sui
len quiet Of millions who have still upon
them the scars and stains, the weak
nesses (amcng them the terrors) Of
slavery, and are hopeless Of relief?
The massacres of the colored people
in the South since the close of the war
have exceeded the horrors Of Bulgaria
and the Soudan, and have been for po-
litical purposes. The policy of murder
is a succeSs--so far so thata little muir
der now goes long way, one conspicu-
Gus case sometimes serving whole
State"
What impotent rawlings! Yet our
people should take such utterances to
heart. There is a lesson in them for
all Virginians at this hour. Let us re-
member that the Commercial Gazette
and the New York Tribune speak for
the northern allies of the Virginia Re-
publicans. Let us remember that if
MALONE should triumph in the
fall elections the apostles Of
hate, whose sentiments HALSTEAD
and REID voice, would be encouraged
to make a desperate fight to perma-
gently bind Virginia to their party.
Let us bear in mind that a sweeping
Democratic victory in Virginia in the
fall will not only rid Virginia Of Ma
honeism, but will encourage the good
men of every State to rebuke the
{" moral treason Of the irrecOncila-
bles. Yes, there is lesson in such

TIE JUDGES REBUKED.

This shows that so far from stimu-
lating such suits, as has been claimed,
the decisions of the Federal courts have
actually discouraged them and that
though, as to the far larger part of them
it was vigorously given, yet the pa
triotic and judicious businessmen Of
Richmond have faithfully kept their
pledge taken at public meeting in
February last, and called in rebuke OF
Judge Hughes's decision in the case of
Parsons rs. Marye, &C., &C., not to
pay their taxes in coupons. Indeed, it
is proper to say that for long time no
effort thus TO pay their taxes in cou-
pons has been made by any bank, rail-
road, or other chartered company in the
city Of Richmond or in the State, ex-
cept the Virginia Fire and Marine In
surance: Company and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company and
those companies make the excep-
tion-all foreign companies pay
in money-to what would otherwise be
the universal practice. This policy,
wisely and deliberately adopted by all
these corporations in order to avoid an
increase Of State taxation, and probably,
since these late decisions, to rebuke the
usurpation of the Federal courts, enti-
ties them to the thanks of every true.
hearted Virginian; and, we may be
sure, it has commended itself to the
consideration Of the individuals whose
names figure in the present suits.
