MIR. Golf, of West Virginia, who asserted
positively that a recount of the votes cast at
the election in his State last fall would
prove that be had been elected Governor
thereof, but which assertion has just been
demonstrated to have been entirely erro'

either through the possible resignation OF
Secretary Blaine or Noble, or the transfer
of Attorney General Miller to the Supreme

There is no doubt of the fact that Senator
Camerons influence with the present adj

had been transferred, reinstated In his for.

unsuccessful but received scant courtesy
He accepts the situation with as good grace
as possible, but is evidently biding his time.

SENATOR DANIEL, in a recent speech,
said: Virginia had turned system OF rail-
roafs over to Malone, upon which she held
a mortgage of three million dollars, and had
strengthened his hands by charters, and
other legislation, which enabled him to Dor
row SIS 600 900 on the consolidated lines.
Using his position to secure legislation fay
orabls to his plans. Malone had bill passed
to give another mortgage priority, thereby
swindling the State cut of her interest. He
wrecked the road, paid for labor and sup
plies Ia scrip, and then, through John Z.
Wise, bought this scrip up at fifty cents on
thu dollar, and secured an order from the
United States Court that these claims be
p,id at fac, value" This is grave charge
I; is brought by Virginia U 8. Senator
against q candidate for Governor of Virginia.
But, it is old, has been brought sgain and
again. and has never been refuted. Buying
jaborers' claims at fifty cents in the dollar,
aud then having laws passed making them
worth their face value And yet there are
labo,ers, who can read, who say General
Malone ia the friend of labor.

Pennsylvania, republican, says that at the
coming session of Congress "some measure

elections in the South" From President
Harrison down to the most Insignificant
member of his party, the measure referred
TO seems to be the only one the republicans
q disposed to push. Well, they will
doubtless attempt it, but the democrats will
oppose it, and SIS the latter have the Con-
stitutiou, the law. precedent, and the spirit
of free institutions on their side. and, unfor'
,unately for tie country, what is of more et-
feet than all else, minority sufficiently
large, they will be successful, though the

consume the entire session. to the exclusion
of the material interests of the country.

ALEX A-NDRIA-.
EVENING, SEPTEMBER IS.

IT SEEMS that some OF the antl-Mahone
republicans don't expect to derive much
benefit from the conference called by Gen
eral Groner. They appear to think the fact
that the General called that conference In
his individual capacity, and not as their Oh
fetal chairman, as he should have done'
because be was elected as such and has
never resigned nor been deposed. indicates
that the General is still looking for the LOST
COMPROMISE, which, now that MIR. brady
has received his reward. will never be found'

cent removal of Corporal Tanner from the
Office of commissioners of pensions. Gays:
"One might as well be niger as a private
un6er any administration, for all despise
him and seek to humilate him." There ia
no doubt of the fact that the Corporal was
only carrying out Mr. Harrison's instruc-
tions, to "be liberal to the boys" and it
does seem right hard that he was punished
for obeyipg orders. But the Private and
the Corporal, and all the other members OF
