TIE ISSEE IN YIRGMIA.

General Malone has been unanimously nom
mated for Governor Of Virginia by a, large
and enthusiastic Republican Convention, and
the issue between the two parties is made.
Upon that issue, it. seems to u.s. no friend OF
civil liberty ought to hesitate. General Ma
hone should be elected.
THE TRIBUNE has in times past freely crit
icised ex-senator Malone, and reserves the
right to do so again, should occasion offer.
We have objected to certain of his political
methods as n-Republican in their character
and especially to the means he was accus-
toned to use to stifle opposition in the party
In the preliminaries, however, to the present
convention, he made concessions which were
approved by prominent members OF the he
publican National Committee. His nomination
for Governor without a dissenting vote has
followed 1t seems to US that, under the cir
cumstances, he is entitled to the support Of all
Virginia Republicans. There appears to be 20
question that he is the candidate Of very
large majority of the party, and the opportu-
nifty his candidacy seems to present of wrestling
Virginia from the control of the Bourbon Dem
ocrats ought not to be lost through lack OF
harmony among Republicans. With united
vote he can be elected. The Democratic plu-
rality of 6,141 in the Presidential election Of
1854 dwindIed to one of ,539 last year. There
rs good reason to believe that General liar
lison actually carried the State. Malone ought
TO do it this year if he is supported by the
whole body of Republicans as we believe he
will be.
We urge this because the principles which
he represents as against the Democratic can
didate ought to triumph. We do not mean by
this to be understood as approving, in its en-
tirety, the platform upon which he has been
nominated 1t has certain features to which
THE TRIBUNE is unaterably opposed But
General Malone stands in this contest as the
representative of honest elections, Of the right
Of the negroes to have their votes received
and counted, of a protest against the race issue
shamelessy raised by the Democratic platform
His Democratic opponent stands for " a white
mans Government" dishonest elections, and
the denial of political rights to the blacks
The choice between them ought to be easy to
all Republicans, especially as in those respects
wherein the Republican platform is objection
able the Democratic platform is even more so.

HJGH-SpEED CRUISERS COSTLY.

The bids for the five new cruisers are few
in number and exceed the limit fixed by Con-
greSs. There was only one proposal for the
two 3,00O-tOn vessels, the Cramps Offering to
build them for 81 % :, 900 each or Sl25, 900
in advance of the appropriation. For the three
2 0OO-ton vessels the same firm put in bid
of S875,0O0, or S175 900 more than the Navy
Department is authorized to pay. The Bath
Iron WerkS offered to build the same vessels
at the rate of S78O.OOO, or $50, 900 beyond
the limit, provided six months were added to
the time allowed for construction. The Gov
eminent cannot make contracts for the con-
struction of the cruisers under the conditions
imposed by Congress, and may as well refrain
from readvertisng. With the battle-shps
building at the navy yards the Government
lacks facilities for undertaking the work Of
constructing the cruisers on its own account.
The best course for the Department to pursue
will be to wait a few months and ask Congress
to increase the limits, so as to admit Of the
building of the cruisers in private ship-yards.
BY December the Baltimore and Charleston
will have had their final trials, and shipbuild-
ers will be in a better position to judge of the
results of experimental construction Of high
mower machinery for vessels of war. II the
trials are successful lower bids may be offered
by competing shipbuilderS. There is now 50
much uncertainty respecting the performance
of these fast cruisers, and the conditions i'm
posed by the Government are so rigid, that
most of the ship-yards abstain altogether from
competition.
The conclusion Of the whole matter is that
increase in horsepower and speed cannot be
cheaply obtained. Mr.. White, Director of
Naval Construction under the British Admiral
ty. demonstrated this in a paper recently read
before the Institution of Naval Architects in
London. He proved that in building the new
est battle-ships for the British Navy it was
necessary to double the horsepower in order
to pass from II to II knots, and that by
doubling the horse power again it would not
be practicable TO obtain a speed of 0 knots.
While not asserting that it would be impossible
to build a 20-knot battle-ship, he ridiculed
the assumption that the required horsepower
could be secured without an enormous increase
in the expense of constructing vessel and ma
chinery. For the present he is satisfied with
planning vessels of this class that will have a
speed of 16 knots natural draught and / l-2
knots with forced draught. A battle ship is not
cruiser, and the difficulties of the problem Of
