invalid for some years, died in the city Jail
last night, whittier he had been taken some
months ago in consequence of his rapidly

tinued up to the breaking out Of the war.
About twenty years ago he was thrown from

able and severely hurt, especially about the
head, from the effects Of which he never en-.
tirely recovered, and a short lime after
wards was stricken with paralysis, and reE-
dered a wreck physically and to certain
extent mentally. A few months ago, being
unable to attend to his own bodily comforts,
he was taken to the Alexandris Infrmary,
but it was subsequently, deemed prudent 10
remove him from that institution, and be
was placed in the city Jail temporarily
Daring the past day or two it was d;scov-
cred that the light of life WAS growing dim
and that his end was near. His powers
kept waning unlil last night when The car
tain fell upon the last scene of all, which
ends this strange eventful history. Mr.
Bagot had been a man of more than ordina-
ry Intelligence; was elread, and was, in his
normal condition, an interesting companion.
He was in tho list year of his age.

the celebration of the Epiphany had been

that the action of the Pope, in accordance
with the request of the Third Plenary Coun-

with which it was very difficult for many Of
them to comply. 1t is still required to be
kept with the usual solemnity in the church,
hut its observance by the laity, though
strongly recommended, is made voluntary,

House next Monday night in the
comedy drama Rags, the Wild cat"
The piece is said to be lone of the best
of American plays, containing strong
dramatic plot, the most pow erful of realistic
situations filed with pathetic incidents that
appeal to and touch the heart, yet bubbling
over with irresistible comedy scenes and
characters in fact, comedy and patbos are
so blended that tears and laughter flow
spontaneously"

of the New York season Of 1867. Pre-
vious to lis production in New York, it had

by the grace of the parliamentary law
that allows minority TO stop all the
business of the House by filbusiering.
Sometimes during the long hours OF roll
calls it was discovered that there was no
quorum and then the doors would be
locked and the iSergeantet- arms and
his assistants would scour the town for
the absentees. During these entire acts Of
the comedy the actors would smoke and
chat
The first victims OF the Sergeant.a..
arms zeal were White of New York,
Mansur of Missouri, and Ermentrout of
Pennsylvania, who, being placed a: the
bar of the House, gave reasonable and
satisfactory excuses, but they were badly
guyed by their colleagues, much to the
amusement of the galleries. Messrs
Seney and Foran of Ohio were the next
prisoners brought to the bar, and they
were excused, although the statement Of
the former, that he had been absent get
ting something to eat, was received with
expressions of incredibly by members
who won d believe that he had inadyer-

The varying scenes of politics are
about to show the last act in the great
Malone drama, wherein the principal
actor approaching the climax OF his tate
Ia bebeld in the attitude OF q martyr TO
ingratitude.
We all have seen with deep interest
how the gallant soldier, honored by the
king and praised by men, allured by his
fatal ambition, betrayed his people, and
after gratifying his lust of power was de
serted by his followers and left To die
like a rat, with all his crimes, brooding
over his guilty soul like demons.
He was too desperate 10 surrender and
had the courage TO die in his harness,
but his followers were fear striker and
appalled, at the reproach Of all humanity
Thus we behold Malone approaching
that scene where he will be the sole sur
vivor of false principle, while the min
ions whom he made forsake him.
There has been one unfortunate chap
ter in the history OF the Virginia Dem
ocracy that was worse than defeat would
have been, because defeat leaves the con
science and the honor of party the
points on which TO rally and take les
son from disaster. But the acceptance
OF Malone men and Malone principles
into the Democratic party has not only
demoralized the local party, but actually
weakened the whole national line.
The Democratic party OF Virginia is
called on to display the party flag with
bar sinister blazoned flag on it in the
shape OF bastard idea OF Democratic
protective tariff, to contradict our claim
to the only legitimate branch Of tie pure
Democracy OF Jefferson.
This is the point at which the second
class Malone deserters will seek to en-
list for pelf under the banner that they
basely deserted.
Twice deserters, by nature traitors, and
by practice and habit only Adventures,
the political rats flying from Mahone's
sinking ship will seek refuge in Demo.
cratic ark and try to command it.
Let US see what the effect viii be- They
will pretend to control the negro vote
which the real Democracy can control
If they only would.
But we pretend this, that if Mr.. Johnny
Wise brings his alleged quarrel with sia-
hone to use as a ticket back into the
Virginia Democracy, the Democracy had
just as well take in q mad dog. for nc
incubation by Pasteur will save them
from the rabies
