SUBLIME IMPUDENCE.

Gov. Lee has received long let
ter from Third Auditor Hat, OF
the United States Treasury De
partment, in which he says he
thinks the State of Virginia ought
to refund certain moneys alleged to
have been OveTpaid her during the
administration OF pierpont as GOv-
ernOr.
We have heard of the phrase
Sublime Impudence," and have
often wondered how those two
words became coupled. There
must surely be sOmeo Their adjective
better fitted TO the kind and quail
| ity of impudence conveyed to the
Governor by Third Auditor Hart.
We have an expressive word but
we will reserve 1t till another such
occasion offers.
We cannot close our eyes to one
thing; and that is, that there are
peope IN high places 10 the North
who have not Yet concluded that
the time has come to quit plumber
ing the South. This is but one Of
many evidences oft. We are glad
to believe that they are not the
masses.
Mr.. Hart is Third Auditor. f.
| II. PierpOnt was our Governor. AT
the bare mention OF this claim sew
eral months ago, Gov. PierpOnt
promptly answered through the
lpress that Virginia did not get the
money. 1t went to Gen. Schofeid
and was by him disbursed.
But suppose there WAS balance
anywhere. They set up, first,
"Provisional Government" then
"Military Dist. No. ~ for four
years, during which time Virginia
paid her Federal taxes of all kinds
to the Government, though her
people were not considered recon,
structed TILL Jany. 1870. It strikes
us that the boot is on the other leg
Mr.. Hart might look up that lit
tie balance of a couple millions
loaned by Virginia to the Federal
Government when the British were
laundering away at her capital
This has been refused payment
heretofore, though the other States
have been paid, and counsel have
not been able in 20 years to get the
ear of congress.
On the equities there is balance
i0 our favor. Like the Doc or who
cured all his patients by throwing
them into fits because he was h
on fits, we must say that when #
comes to settling mp old ante wal
or reconstruction debt, we are h
on the equities.

and the grand totals are as follows:
Scott, Democrat, 167,O18; Lurty,
Republican, 122, sol McTeer, Pro-

a plurality oyer Lurty of 44,427,

of AZ, 46S. The total vote cast for
attorneys general was 29O, 56S, which
is 1885 less than was cast for
President in 1888. The Democrat
ic vote is 1901 greater than that
cast at the presidential election,
while the Republican vote shows a
falling of OF 27,S47. The Prohibi.
ton vote fell of 100. Gen. Mshcne

A FOUR EDGED SWORD.

THE slanderer's 'Orgne is four
edged sword. IL wounds the hand
of him WHO uses it; it wounds the
ears of those who listen to IL; IT.
wounds the heart of him who IS
the object of its thrust it strikes
at the throne of God, aud breaks
HE law. Slauder excludes the
miserable perpetator fro n the
kingdom OF heaven.'
We frequently hear now what we
thought would cease with the elec.
tion-false reports censuring our
votes as a Republican, and some of
our speeches as campaigner.
First that we did not act with
the Republican party in the Sen.
ate. We challenge the mention OF
one party vote IN SIX years. True
we did not harmonic with our
colleague from way back. But so
far from our boiling the Republi
can party on the matters in cOntro.
versy between us-the Virginia
appOiutments-we had enough Re-
publicans to join us to confirm all
the State appOiutees of 1884, ex-
cept Col. John Goode, who was
beaten by a terOciOus
personal attack, by one vote. Here
is where Gen. Malone began to
call me a Kicker or something else.
Next that we never made any
thing bat Democratic speech in
our life. We said this. We used
the word in Its catholic sense-the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber-and never thought of making
a party speech. In every speech
we made, we distinctly stated that
our convictions on the dividing
issue OF the tariff had undergone
no change, and therefore we would
discuss only State issues.
Next, that we had several times
voted the Democratic ticket, OF
scratched the Republican. "WhOso
sayeth this thing is in danger OF
sheol." we have not voted a
| Democratic ticket, nor scratched a
Republican ticket, whether Dis
trict, Municipal, County, Congress-
iOnal, State, or Legislative since il
was understood that Paul was g
Republican nominee.
Who can beat this record 7 Sure
ly not these few blab mouths who
are constant boilers. We car
name a halt dozen of the so called
leaders around here who bargain
and scratch at every election.
Gentlemen, if the fearful Intro.
duction to this article, and unde
niable facts which follow it, do not
induce you to call of your dogs,
We may try some red hot persua
sion. We have not cared to be
personal beyond what was neces.
sary for self protection, but we do
not intend that few chronic boil.
:ers shall misrepresent us. The
position we occupied makes 1t the
more so. We must challenge every
questioning Of it, aud call for the
books. They will tell,
"N no shall dwell in thy holy
hill, 0, Lord 7" He that backbiteth
not with his tongue" death and
Life are in the power OF the
tongue"
