tie in contested election case before that
body was broken Mr. Massey is the Lieu
ter a1t-Governor of the State, and by
the Constitution of Virginia is president OF
the State Senate, and specially authorized
to vote in cases of equal division. In the
case referred to the Senate was equally di-
vided, and Mr.. Massey had the same right

thrown against him at the late meeting oi

much SO it shows that the administration
has at last got into full accord with them CD
another important matter. When federal
Office holders take active parts IL political
affairs with impunity, it shows that the ad'
mias,ration has entirely abandoned the
mu,wumpery it adopted when it tirat as'

even prohibited the holder Of minor ONCE

abandonment it il needless to say is agreea-

the truth that citizen Of toe country does

In WASHINGTON, as on this side of the
river, the colored people constitute large
majority of the republican party. But the
difference between the republican party IN
Washington and that in Virginia is that In
the former the majority exercises all its
privileges, and therefore rules and controls
thu party, while in Virginia the majority Is
subject to small minority of white people.
The yoke, however, of the black majority OF
the party in Washington has become 50 OBJ
iectionable to the reputable white element
thereof, that the latter are now openly talk
ing about rebellug and throwing it of. But
they will have TO grin and bear it, for none
cry more Justify Cor "ffee vote and fair
count" and the dsrkies unquestlonably

A BILL is now before the legislature to
amend the game law. One of its sections
provides for the appointment of game war
den in every magis;eial district, whose du.
ly it shall be to see that the game law be OBJ.
served and that its breakers be brought to
Justice. The legislature should not adjourn
until this bill be passed. Unless something
be done, and that speedily, to prevent it, all
bind of game will soon be as scarce in Vir-
g;nia as in Rhode Island, and as what is
every bodg's business is nobody's, there
should be in every county men specially ap.
pointed and empowered to see that the
game laws be obeyed to the letter.

Mr.. WINS, prominent Northern manu-
facturer, says:
"Were it not for the tariff on raw material the
American manufacturer would have an outlet for
his goods ia those countries in competition with
the English manufacturers, and also with better
possible margin of profit than the Englishman
has"
Or course ne would, for the natural fscili-
ties for production in this country are 81
perior 10 those of any of the old countries,
and are conceded TO be by all we'll informed
people. Intelligent American manufac-
turers know that the necessary effect Of the
existing tariff on raw maj eiiai ia to restrict
the market for their products to this coun
try, and therefore to diminish the demand
for American labor.
