ALEX ANDRIA.
TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 20.

SENATOR BROWN, of Georgia, is Christi
ian, and has given more to his church tnan
any other man in his State, and, witna'' ne
is very wise man, as is best attested py MS
success Here is what he says ABOUT Tue
vain attempt now being made in Virginia
to prohibit the use of liquor by the adoption
of local option law
Everybody who has any knowledge VI sne
state of things in prohibition State knows tna'
anv man who has money to pay for it and wants
wbiskey can get as much as no desires IL Is
driven out of respectable and orderly houses as
well as out of the doggeries into the cellars and
tbs hiding places. Those who want it can easily
find it, and those who have the money can al
WAYS purchase it, and while it is used freely by
those who desire it, it is relieved of all taxation
and the tax that it would otherwise pay must be
raised by higher assessments on property"
How do the tax payers of Virginia relisn
the idea of the States making up the loss o.
the three hundred and twenty thousand dol
lars she has heretofore received from mel
liquor license tax, by placing an addltiona
tax to that amount upon their already heaV'
iy taxed property?

THE ASSISTANT treasurer OF Richmond
has published the names of the people VINO
have rendered him coupons in payment OF
their taxes and it is understood, did SO
under the unwarrantable instructions OF the
indemnifying board of the State, which is
composed of the first and second auditors
the secretary of the Commonwealth
the treasurer and the attorney general.
The tenderers of the coupons are justlheo
in what they did by the highest court in the
land. The indemnifying board and the treas
urer referred to are justified by no law and
no court, and should be punished for dellber-
ate and concerted, though vain, attempt to
iniure certain people in Richmond. What
would any of the board or of those who ooey
their commands think of a man who should
publish list of their debts or anything re-
lating to their private affairs? And yet
such q publication would not be half so mali
cious as that of which they have been gull
ty, for its animus was to boycott people for
doing only what the law authorized them
to do.

IT Is now stated in the newspapers that
the recently appointed postmaster at Gin
cinnati is in close connection with the re-
publican ring of that city. The republicans,
when in control of the national admins
tralion, managed the federal offices SO as TO
strengthen their party. 1t was supposed
that the democrats, when they succeeded
them, would do the same; but, to the disap-
pointment of every body, republican as we'll
as democrat, they have done just the re-
verse. aud seem to have tried to make the
Offices at their disposal the means of weak
ening their party, and of restoring the re-
publicans to power.

No MATTER what else may be said ABOUT
Mr.. Gould, there is no conceivable doubt IN
the mind of any right thinking man that he
was right when he said to the knights OF
labor: 1.-THE contest is not between your
order and me, but between your order and
the laws of the land. Your order has alrea'
DIV deGed those laws in preventing by
violence this company from operating It's
roads. You held then that this company
should not operate its roads under conditions
prescribed by law, but only under condl-
tions prescribed by you" This is land
presumed to be of law and order, where,
under the law, the poor havo tho same
rights as the rich. The strict observance otthe
law is the poor mans only safety. Without
that observance the rich have him ut dis
advantage. Money always has had, and
always will have, owing to the weakness OF
human nature, potential influence, and it is
only ty an undertaking adherence to the
law, and by. the supremacy thereof, that the
rights,of those without money are secure.

Mysterious Victim.

NAvAsoTA, Tex, April 20.-Another mys'
terous victim of Judge Lynch was found
above this city yesterday near the village of
Washington, on Brazos river. A farmer
named Wilson found the body of light
coored muatto floating near the shore. He
tied the corpse to u tree and notified the
nearest justice of the peace, who held an in
quest on the body. The examination re.
vealed dark blue mark around the neck
which was broken. The ankles Of the mu
latto also bore marks of the rope, indicating
that weights had been tied to his feet. His
skull was broken as though from the blow
of revolver handle, probably to silence his
outcries. Who the dead man is or what ter
riblo crime he committed, which brought
such fatal vengeance, is profound mystery
here. The theory is that he was swung
from some bridge across the Brazos many
miles above, and the rope aflerward cut in
expection that the weight on his ankles
would carry the body to the bottom.
