Another Scandal.

Another scandal is on top in the Vcne
Zuc'a bond business. Charges have been
fled with the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations against the accredited diplomatic
representative Of Ienezuela TO this country,
who is charged with using his official posi-
ton to depreciate tie value CT his govern
ment's bonds now held by citizens of the
United States, for Tie purpose Of buying
them up at s nominal price Among tho
documentary evidence fled with the COM
mittee is letter marked "Strictly conf
dential," and bearing date OF April 81 last,
addressed by the Venezuelan Minister to
his New York correspondent, Of which this
is a copy.
''Ifyou could secure ths whole 81 ,253 80
Venezuelan awards at forty per cent, com
putting ia this forty the fifteen paid, or say
twenty five per cent, will engage to get
the thing done at once"
A few days before tho Minister is charged
with having written this: "About the 81
253, 900 Venezuelan fraudulent awards lpar-
don the plain talk which have contested
and will, it seems TO Inc that if they could
be purchased by you, at Il very reasonable
figure, l would have my government to pro-
tect you"
Further the Venezuelan Minister is
charged with varously using his official in
tluence TO bring about review Of The award
made on the BONDS by international arbtra-
ton, which award was declared to be final,
but to review which contemplated long
delay a probable revision CT the decision,
and consequent depression ofther market
value, during which they were to be bought
up at nominal figures. The charges were
flied By Crammond Kennedy, an attorney
of New York, who, it is understood, intends
prosecuting them vigorously. A member
of the Senate Committee on Foreiga Rca-
lions is quoted as having said that he be-
lleyed these charges will result in not only
the removal of the Minister, but the with
drawal OF toe treaty now pending between
this country and Venezuela.

WILL THE politicians who are to be
elected railroad commissioners under the
proposed bill creating a railroad commis-
sion, now before the Legislature, take in'o
consideration the fact that the duty on the
rails used in laying the railroads was SIS a
ton, and is now SIT, when they are liking
the freight and passenger charges for those
roads? IF the bill referred to shall pass, a
bill by which the control of the property OF
Northern men will be taken ont of The hands
of the owners and put into these of the im
pecunious politicians Of a repudisting state
then, indeed, may the few Virginians who
still cherish the hopo Of better days Tor their
poor, old, outraged and dissraced mother,
abandon themselves to despair.

THE RECENT vote of the republicans IN
the U. S. House Of Representatives on the
Bland silver resolution, shows that the re.

AGE of silver, and yet because the democrats
ara divided upon that question, its represen'
ta,iyes voted almost solidly with the silver
democrats, and were audacious enough 10
acknowledge that they did SO for no other
purpose than to increase and prolong that
division; thus proving that in order to Grip
pie political opponents, they would sacr'-
flee what they believe to be the bestinteres!s
of the country.

OF THE vouchers for expenditures on SC
count of the State Colo!ed Normal School,
at Petersburg, found in the Office Of the
Auditor, is one for 81, 30993 paid to II. r.
Farr, which, among other items, provides for
the payment of Sl36 40 to the officers of the
colored Grand Lodge of Masons, for laying
the cornerstone of that building. This is
only fair sample of the way the money of
which the States creditors are defrauded
was spent when the Mahoueites were in
power.

MORE TERRITORY WANTED.-The killing
Of Capt. Crawford by Mexican troops re.
Gently has provoked good deal OF feeling
in Texas and along the Mexican border.
A gentleman in this city who spent many
years on the Rio Grnnde, says that there is
now and has been for thirty years strong
desire to annex that beautiful section OF
country bordering that river to the United
States, ana that every officer and soldier
who is sent to do guard duty at the posts
along the border, would hail With delight a
rupture that would bring about a war.
which would result in large acquisi-
tion of territory with soil and climate
unequalcd by any section of the American
continent, abounding in fruit, cereals and
mineral wealth.

Now THAT reliable chemists, after repeat
ed and careful analyses, have declared that
oleomargarine is not only al article unfit
for human food, but is positively poisonous,
it would seem that the demand for it would
cease, and its manufacture be consequently
abandoned That would undoubtedly be
the case if most people possessed common
understanding, but such an idea as that can
past but of present experience.

sense of the utter inutility of attempting to
placate republican luminosity by concession
to republican requests. The abuse he re.
ceives from the republicans could aos posi-

Inauguration. But had he done that, the
support he receives from the democrats
would be infinitely more hearty than it is.

THE CALICO MILLS TRoUBLE.-Judge
Atkins, Of the Hastings Court, of Richmond,
has ordered special grand jury to be sum-
moned for next Tuesday to investigate the
Gallego Mills affair. This action grows out
of the recent application made for the ap.
pontment of receiver for these mills. In
the investigation that followed, it is alleged
that it was discovered that large amount
of money was borrowed upon receipts for
corn and wheat, supposed to be in the mill
at the time, but which did not in fact exist.
1t is said that as mnch as 800 900 was Dor.
rowed from Rhode Island bank upon these
receipts. Several other banks are reported
to have suffered in the same way. TIE di-
rectors of the Gallego Mills Company are
all leading business men, and the affair has
created much comment. 1t is said that II
such things as are charged we're commlttrd'
the board WAS ignorant Of the TRANSACTIONS.

THERE is no doubt of the fact that Gene
raj Malone is now ana has been for some
time past engaged in an effort to combine
and unite to himself all the opponents OF
democracy in Virginia. His agents are
busily employed at such work, but as yet
without much success, as, though many
Virginians have no use for modern demo-
Gratis, they have less for Malone.

evening was excellent in all It's parts.
Some of the selections might have
been improved to suit the audience
present, but taken as whole the pro-
gram gave excellent satisfaction. The
club Was made up of young men who
are students attending Lawrence Uni
versity at Appleton and are possessors
OF fine voices. Several of the select
ions were very fine and brought forth
great applause. The German solo by
VIM. Botzer, as we'll as the Medley in

highly appreciated. We hope the
young men may have another oppor-
tunity of visiting this city sometime
in the future.
