VIRGINIA..

The political contest in Virginia can
scarcely be called one of party politics,
The leading questions of political
economy and political principle which
divide men in this country seem to be
)U allowance. Whether high or low
tari1 ,oX >hati be IMPOSED upon i'm
ports; whether power shall be cen
tralized or disseminated whether Law
ish or careful expenditures are better
for the people-all these things are for
the moment put aside.
The democratic party of the state
in the emergency has (unwisely, we
think) failed to insist upon the full
shibDoloth of its faith, and has thus far
permitted its proud banner to be
trailed in the dust. The republican
party, though, has done worse, for it
has simply abdicated in favor of cor
rnpt boss, forteiting even the pretense
to contest for principle.
The attitude in Virginia, therefore,
is simply one of decency upon the one
side and indecency upon the other; of
intelligence, purity, cleanliness, and all
that is worthy and proper on the one
hand, and ignorance, corruption, and
uncleanness on the other. The contest
is, unfortunately, somewhat one of
races, as the ignorance of the black
belt is solidly arrsyed by Gen. Malone
against the intelligence of the white
sections of the state. This statement
does not mean that there are no repect-
able white republicans i'm the Old Do
minion, but it does mean that with
very few exceptions those white repub-
licans who are worthy of respect are
arrayed against Malone and his meth
ods. So much is this the case that
those gentlemen have, in self-respeat,
been forced to disavow Mahonism, and
to name republican ticket for which
they can conscientiously vote.
If anything in this article seems
harsh we beg to say that it is as mild
as sucking dove In comparison with
what is being said by the heidelberg
ers, the Wises, the Lewises and the
Yosts, of Virginia, who, while reiter-
a'ing their devotion to the republican
party and its principles, spew out with
utter loathiDg and abhorrence the
foul creature who is the republican
for governor.
Malone is such an utter demagogue,
he is so thoroughly unprincipled, and
withal SO dictatorial and autocratic,
that capital, labor, intelligence aad
virtue would all be outraged could
the money he is getting from Messrs. |
Quay ,Wanamake", ct al, succeed in
elevating hir, to the governorship of
the grand old mother OF presidents, OF
statesmen, of soldiers, OF orators and |
Of heroes.

ASA ROGERS, secretary OF the Tepub-

contributions to the surplus fluid of the

them among our friends outside of the

SECRETARY MOBILES first letter,
dated June "a, to Commissioner Tan
ner, on the subject of re-rating of
pensions, is published. In it he said,
in regard to one of Tanners assump-
tions of independent authorlty:-"The
secretary has the control to correct any
abuses in the bureau of pensions or
any other bureau in the department.
| might assert my conclusions on SO
plain and well-settled u question and
so leave it, but due consideration tor
your office leads me to explain the
ground on which this long -esta blished
rule rests" Of the consequence of
Tanners schemes of payments be SAID:
''It may be that this government 10
80 strong and great, and has at its
command surplus that no other
nation has ever had; but if sums of
money to the amount above mentioned
may be granted without any further
considerations of fact and law than
seems TO have been given in these cases
it will depend solely upon single
officers disposition whether the
resources of the government shall be
sufficient for it's maintenance or not.
There are more than enough of these
applications already in the field, and
increasing daily, to exhaust indeed the
surplus, of which so much has been
said i'll connection with this matter, and
am informed that the applications for
re- ratings are greatly on the increase,
and now reach the amount of from
seven to eight thousand week. l do
not ask nor desire, SO far as am con-
cerned, re-examination of these
applicants, but what do insist upon is
that there shall be a reconsideration OF
these allowances on the record, and
that any further allowances for them
that may be made shall be made in due
course of proceedings upon new
application, new evidence, and without
any advance of the cases before those
of others equally neritorious." To all
this Tanner replies in very tart way,
asserting himself to be in line with bis
party's promises in the last canvass.
Altogether the republican brethren do
not seem to be dwelling together in
unity.
