The tribulations of the West Virginia
legislature over its Governor and Senator
seem to have lnhinged it a little. Last
Saturday it passed a resolution asking the
W. Va. representatives in congress to sup
port bill giving So day to every Union
veteran for every day he was in Confeder-
ate prison.
The Senate Tariff bill takes $2s ,OOO, 900
tariff tax off of sugar; hands 3,00O,O 600 in
bounty over to the sugar growers, and takes
only $15,000,0 600 off the tariff on other arti-
cles.
The Democrats of Spottsylvania county
have endorsed Major j. Horace Lacy for
Lieutenant Governor.
Gen. Malone has by no means relaxed
his active pursuit of place in the cabinet,
though the appearances just now are NOR
against his SUCCESS thu. ever. The Repu,,
lican Commonwealth S Attorney of No1fol
county and the eX-sssistant postmaster %
Norfolk have just Returned from All Indi
annapolis mission in the Generals behalf.
His Richmond friends in report headed
by MI. J. Blair Morris have endorsed him.
But black cloud, in the shape of Negro
delegation from the South, steered by Lang

over the Generals DroSpects.
The Powhatan Club Of Richmond has
decided to have speech from all the Dem

The Republicans of the U. S. Senate have
about three hundred of Mr.. Cleveland Is
nominations hung up, and will not act on
them. When Arthur went out Of office
there were not thirty nominations in the
Senate Enacted On.
The West Virginia legislature having
determined to count the vote for all State
officers, except Governor, which is in con-
test, the Republican members after the
usual cries of Revolutionary" withdrew
from the hall. They had the satisfaction of
being walked up out of their beds at 2 O'Clock
the next morning by the Sergeant
hauled before the House and fined So.
Judge R. w. Hughes of Virginia is dis
tinctly looming up for a place in Gen. Har-
rison's cabinet. The fact that he is not
mixed up with either faction Of his party in
the State, makes him almost the only piece
of available cabinet timber in the State.

Indianapolis. Mosby the ex-Guerilla visit

was quite an ovation to him by ali ths
prominent Republicans. even Gov. Hovey
the newly elected Republican Governor, pay

We said last week that if the Democrat
ic papers would only let the subject alone,
the Republicans would walk into mistake
about the State debt. The Washington
correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette
reporting a conversation with ex-senator
John f. Lewis, says
He says he only joined the adjusters as a
means by which to defeat the democrats, and
was bold enough to say SO at the time, against
the remonstrance of the democratic readius-
tiers; that he always thought the Virginia debt
was an honest one and that the creditors should
be paid, and that he now thinks settlement
that will be satisfactory to them should be
made as soon as possible, and that he will do
all in his power to promote such a settlement.
Passing by the Inconsistency of aiding in
the defeat of party that wanted to make
a settlement satisfactory to the creditors
eight years ago, and now wanting to defeat
it that a satisfactory settlement may be
made, we call the attention of the Virginia
Democrats to the expressions Of ex-Sena-
tor Lewis, for the reason that we believe
that is about the Republican programme
for next fall. With nothing to stand on j;
with no record of hearty support of the Rid
dleberger bill to appeal to the people on, the
Republicans will hold out the old bait of a
satisfactory settlement to the voters.
There is no external reason pressing this
State for settling it's debt to suit the credi-
tors. More foreign capital has been inves-
ted in Virginia since the passage of the
Riddleberger bill than in the whole century
of her previous history. There is no inter
nal reason for this State settling it's debt to
suit the creditors. The debt is settled. if
our people continue to refuse to use cou-
pons.
