A stranger in town last Tuesday would
not have imagined that a most important
election was in progress. The day was
unusually quiet and business was not
particularly active, yet the freeholders
OF the town were engaged in deciding
whether or not South Boston should
borrow $40, 900 to be used in securing a
fire department and water supply and
paving Main street. The proposed loan
was agreed TO with only one vote against
it. so South Boston will soon have a

Low DemagOgY.

Friday is the only day Of the week the
House OF Representatives has set apart for
the consideration Of bills for the relief of
private citizens, a vast throng OF whom
ore now, as they for long time have been,
beseechiUg Congress for the relief sadly
needed-now more urgently than ever.
Eight Fridays Of the present session have
come and gone, aud two private bills have
been passed.
The eighth Friday was FILTERED away 10y
Democratic members IN wrestling over
point Of order with a view to break a raiug
made by the Democratic Speaker at the be-
ginning OF the session, and when the House
adiourned-not a single bill having been
passed--it did so upon the motion OF
Democratic member until Monday, the
arduous labor attendant the discussion
OF the point OF order requiring the peace
and rest of Saturday and Sunday for the
recuperatlon of the distinguished debaters'
exhausted energies. SO much for the zeal
Of the llouse OF Representatives for the
private citizen under It's Democratic domi-
nation. Truly its indifference is making
mourn several thousand men, women, and
children, young and old.
Did Mr.. Stone, of Kentucky, charmln of
the committee on war claims, utter the
exact truth when he said: "rhis beiny Fr-
day, the only day in the week that is given
| TO the consideration OF private claims, 1t
was announced to me on tue lDor this
morning by prominent member OF the
House that the consideration Of claims was
not to be entertained by the fttieth Cln.
gressf"
II this is true of course private clAimlnts
| will have to wait. The Democrats consiler
it more important to have small uppropri-
atiors ard no war claims passed than 10 be
honest aud pay the lOug overdue debts OF
the government. TIE people understood
| sud atepIte such demagogy.

Correspondence Brooklyn Standard. Uniol. !
There is quiet movement on foot to
bring Congressman GoI, OF West Virginia,
to the front as vice presidential candidate
on the Republican ticket. | met Editor
Fox, OF the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, at the
white house little while ago, and while
the ladies smiled and talked society and
personal gossip he talked politios.
ave ale gvIug 70 carry Virginia sure he
said, talking OF the coming campaign. "rne
Nirginians are protectionlsts aud getting
more thoroughly that way every day. There
are several southern states where we are in
fair way OF success, hut this is especially
true OF Virginia.
"What other states:n asked.

Ntrginia.n
"rell me more about this" said, as
got him further into the corner and the
silks and satGs and laces ani diamonds
and gold lace swept By, Kaleidoscope aud
dazzling.
"Well, It's very simple" he said, "Nlr.
Goff is the most available candidate for
second place that we have. He is a native
of Virginia, resident Ot West Virginia,
man OF ability, with German blood 10 his
veins, an eX Union soldier. an eX.Secretary
OF the Navy, a member Of three Congresses,
a man Of means and man Of brains. lie
would add very much strength to the ticket,
no matter who might be At the head OF 1t.
Ills nomination would Insure US Virginia
and West Virginia, and as he Is from the
section south Of the Ohio he would
strengthen the ticket generally, and espe-
cially IN the south, where we wan.t>to m axe
a break IN the DemocrsAaG sol!dity."

y Misnoin-r.

Mr.. Ballard Smith has left the domain Ot
the interviewer aud invaded the pages of
the Aorh .imcricHn RtciclC with au artI.
Gle NicA be calls "rhe political effect OF
the messagen y The ti,le is II msnOmer,
for Mr.. SmitlNdoes not tell what tue ''ellect
Of the message''>has been, bat what he
hopes IL will De.
When Mr. Smith Is not enacting the role
Of false prophet he is sometimes fulfill
ing that Of falsiier, particularly as IN his
attempt TO make out that Senator AfEich,
Of Rhode Island, is one OF the free trade
gang by quoting the following from him;
The Republican leaders seem as hopelessly
divided NOW as were the Democratic lea iers
four years ago. ~ know of no Intelligent pro.
tectionist or Republican," said Senator Al.
drich, "who is not in favor Of reducing the
annual revenue TO such sum as shall be re-
quired to meet the current expenses and the
maturing obligations of the government"
This is no more Indicative that Senator
Aldiich belongs to the free traders than
1t is that he is q believer In the Koran
or the Book of Mormon. Every man Of
ordinary intelligence is In favor OF "reduc-
ing the annual revenue" because 1t Is
greatly In excess of the needs OF the gov.
eminent. Senator Sherman aud Senator
Brown have both spoken In favor of this
reduction, but there is no mistaklng them
for free traders.
Mr.. Smith occasionally lndulges himself
In "reminiscences, as in the following, when
he says;
Robert Toombs, impusive always, and mis-.
guided through iateful period, but always
pure patriot At heart, was addressing a gather
ing Of his fellow. citizens after the disastrous
result Of the election Of Is7l. "They say" lie
cried, that the Democratic party is dead,
When yOu come back from the fuuerAl, my
friends, take not Cii yOGr hRblllmGnts of mourn
ing, Tor you VIII need them at the death bed
of the republic" A partisan and hostile post
master m the city Of New York in 1851 would
have UGoUgh. ABOUT the defeat Of the Demo-
cratic party
There ave some people, perhaps ma.
iorily Of tlcm n the co4a.rN who will not
admit that Rober. TJombs was "always
pure la'Huta heart particularly when he
was advocating secession or heading
brigade Of rebel solGier., though there are
very few but what win agree with Mr..
Smith IN the statement that MIR. Pearson,
tie postmaster Of New YORK, sold his party
cut, and will add that he Is now cnjoyiug
the reward Of his treachtry.
Speaking Of Mr.. Wm l.. Scott as rev.
cuue reiomer, Mr. smith says;
Upon his counsel and Information the
PICsidcnt largely relied in preparing his mes.
cage, and Mr., Scott, as a member OF the com
mlltCe on ways ana means, win assist in
making the bill to largely reduce tarll duties,
A little time is devoted to the Hon. Wm.
II, Barnum, that celebrated mule trader
who has been Tor some years chairman of
the Democratic Central Committee, and he
Is taken to task for his refusal TO indorse
free trade Ideas In the campaign OF 1850.
Ills downfall is suggested in the closing
paragraph, which Is as follows

1t is bard TO believe that any large nlu
her Cf the southern people hold to the
opinion expressed in the following articles;
There has never heen any sta'esmln'Ap in
the Republican party. 1t has never mad sense
enough to acknowledge that the s,u.hern peg
pie committed no crime whatever in engaging
in defensive war to establish what they con-
scientiousy held to be the true construction OF
the federal constitution.
Yet this is from the Richmond Dispatch,
one OF the leading Democratic papers Of
Virginia. The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, will
he accused Of "wavlng the bloody shirt"
for calling attention TO this article which
says that the southern people committed
no crime whatever when they engaged in
rebellion-endeavore TO destroy tbs Union,
and caused the death Of million men.
There is deep settled conviction iu the
minds OF most men that this was crime
called "tredS6l," uud rO~l.ad as the hi.h.
est In the calendar OF crime, because, as III
this instance, it generally includes murder
and arson. The trouble with the Republi.
can party has been that 1t too easily forgot
the magnitude OF the crime.

y WEEKLY paper published in this city
gravely announces that tex Justice Nelson,
oi the United states Supreme Court, who
is now engaged in delivering course of
lectures to a large college here,n has DE-
liyered an opinion, 'eXtra judicial, 1t is
true In which he says the Blair bill is
clearly unconstitutional, and, from what
lie knew Of the present justices Of the Su
IRENE Court, with whom he still held in
innate relations IL called upon to do so,
that august body would unanimously y deny
its constitutionallty. Inasmuch as ex.Jus-
tice Nelson died In December, 1873, six
years before Mr.. Blair entered the Senate,
it Is not at all probable that the "extra
judicial opinionn has been delivered. The
intimatIon in the article alluded to that all
tie justices OF the Supreme Court are
spiritualists, and in the habit Of attending
stances to converse with their dead asso-
ciate, lie not believed to be true. Besides

II Le desired the nomination for a second
term. It is true his acts may seem incon-
tistept, hut the Democracy elected him anl
he desired to represent the Democrac and
this was the first opportunity that he had to
learn in national affairs the real sentiments
Of the majority, The platform was a de.
usion, fraud, aud Janus-faced. In his
Inaugural address he Hoped with the Ran.
dali wing, but as an asplrant for the sue.
Ctss!On lie must act with the majority or
restrain his ambition to a single term.
The Randallltes favor such an adjustment

laws. The President, in mis- last message,
TUNED his back upon them and their sentl.
ments and advocated practical free trade
and the maintenance OF the internal revenue
war taxes. In addition to this his admins.
tration Of the Treasury Department has
well.nigh bankrupted the country by con-
traction Of the currency. The President
did not estimate this last condition Of suf.
rlcient importance to even allule TO It in his
Messgge,
y caucus has recently been held and an
understanding arrived at between Randall,
Dana, and Gov. HIl to select candidate

views. The friends Of these gentlemen
declare that they hold the vantage ground
IN the contest.
They say, while It Is true that New York

also tue that TIE Empire State IS by far

This condition Of affairs therefore coGstl-

already commenced. The administration
