MONDAY EVENING JUNE IS, 1884.

The LAW makers of this government
have been its bane, and it isn't a strain
ed conclusion to suppose that they will
vet be the cause of its death. They
have certainly given rise to all the
many and various movements tna'
have been started for changing the
principles upon which the government
was founded-that it should be sup
ported by the people, not that 1t should
support the people, or any OF hem.
In free and equal countries people must
support themselves and their govern
ment too. No wonder the farmers
complain when the law profits the
manufacturers at their expense; that
The laborers are in revolt when the
law that makes them poorer makes
their employers richer; and that the
poor are sullen and discontented when
lv the law. their richest %neighbors pay
no more toward the support of the gov
ernment than they do. Why should a
Louisiana sugar planter be pads boun-
" or his crop, when the tobacco plant
or is taxed on his? And why should
a New England wooden manufacturer
he protected, when no protection is af-
forded the Virginia farmer who raises
wool? Why should taxes be imposed
to stimulate the production of some
articles, and not of others just as neces-
sary? A bill has recently passed the
Senate making a large appropriation
for the promotion of silk culture. Why
not, with as good reason. for any other?
If educated men can't understand such
gross partiality, that those who have
not had their advantages can not do so,
is not at all wonderful, nor is it in the
least strange that the latter, knowing
that the laws grant special favors to
some, should demand that they have
particular favors granted to them also,
and threaten 10 know the reason why
if their demands be not complied with,
especially as they have more votes
than those of their favored neighbors?
While it can not be proved that good
laws make good people, nothing is
more certain than the fact that bad
laws make bad people, for the reason
that they are not respected, and where
the law is not observed, morals and man
,nrs soon datarinrotp

Tic mgarInvcstigation

Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, on
Saturday told the Senatorial investiga.
ting committee that he haG speculated
in sugar stock recently and he coupled
this statement with the assertion that
he had a right to do so. He did not
give any details of his purchases. He
said
81 have bought and sold, not
continuously, but incidentally with
other stocks, stock of the American Su-
gar Refining Company during the last
20 months, beginning, say 20 months
ago. The last transaction, | think, was
on the day that was fixed for the vote
upon the sugar schedule, when l closed
out at some loss to enable me TO vote
without having any interest in the
stock. | had been away q week, and
did not know the schedule VIZ about
to be voted upon. l have done nothing
in it since. l do not feel that there is
anything in my connection with the
Senate to interfere with my buying or
selling the stock when | please, and l
propose TO do so.
Senators Smith, Vest, and a number
of other senators were examined during
the day, but none of them gave any
testimony beyond the denial of the cat
egoricaf questions concerning the pur-
chase and ownership of sugar stock, or
knowledge of any purchase by any one
connecting with them, either officially or
domestically. When the committee ad-
journed it had heard the testimony of
a of the So members of the Senate.
The eleven who are yet to be examined
are Butler, Cameron, Dixon, German,
Irby, Mitchell, of Oregon; Pettigrew,
Walsh, Washburn, Wilson and VOL
colt. Most of these are out of town,
and Senator Wolcott is i'll in Paris. For
some time past there have been rumors
that Senator Ransom, Of North Caro-
lima, had been specializing in sugar
stock, but the reputation for integrity
held by him has eftectually prevented
their publicity. On Saturday the basis
for these rumors was shown by the
statement to the committee of his son
George, who is his clerk, and Capt.
Barnes, his messenger, that they had
invested small sums in bucket shops.
The explanation of Gen. Ransom was Il
complete v%indication for him from the
accusations contained in the rumors

Mr.. HENRY WATTERSoN has never
recovered entirely from the attack duri
ing which his mind engendered the
Coxey movement, by conceiving the
idea of sending one hundred thousand
unarmed men to Washington, the moral
effect of whose presence he vainly be-
lieved would induce Congress to do
right and order the Inauguration Of the
legally and fairly elected President
Mr.. Tilden. At intervals of longer or
shcrJer periods, ever since, he has made
his friends anxious about him, especial
ly in respect of the st. Louis platform
and Of President Cleveland and Senator
Hill, to one of whom he wrote q famous
imaginary letter-thatis is, one that never
came to hand or found its way to the
dead letter office. He has now gone
astray again, and because Rev. Mr.. Gave,
in a recent address at Richmond, re-
peated what the true history Of the
country teaches, that the South, in the
var between the States, fought for con-
stitutional liberty, says that gentleman
is seeking to raise up a generation Of
young vipers to undo the good that God
has done and TO make traitors of the
fair lads we are sending to West Point
and Annapolis" If Mr.. Watterson be
still amenable to reason, his friends
should supply him with the text books
used at West Point up to, if not after,
the breaking out of the war between
the States. In them he will find that
they and Mr.. Cave teach the same true
lesson. Men really wise know it is bet.
ter to teach boys that their fathers died
in defense Of the right, and that it was
honorable to do so, than that they were
traitors and rebels; and that boys should
he taught the truth, let the conse.
quences he what they may. To instill
errors into the minds of children is a
crime against both God and man.

THE ACCoMAC.-Gov. Charles Il.
O'Ferrall and party, with Collector
Shields, Judge East and others, formal
ly inspected the new oyster gunboat
Accomac at Norfolk on Saturday and
made q trial trip on her to Hampton
Roads and were lunched. The State
officials returned to Richmond in the
afternoon. The Governor was saluted
by the battery at Fort Monroe. The
Accomac is to be furnished with the
Huntington electric search light, so as
To facilitate her cruising in Eastern
Shore waters. Governor O'Ferrall eN-
pressed himself as greatly pleased with
the boat. The Hotchkiss gun, which
will constitute the armament of the
new steamer, has not yet reached Nor
folk, but the ammunition for the little
one-pounder has arrived. 1t will be
some days before the machinery of the
Accomac gets to running smoothly, but
the trip Saturday clearly evinced the
fact that the vessel is a speedy one.
The Governor has given the command
er of the oyster fleet instructions to
make it very interesting for any poach-
ers he finds in the oyster territory OF
Virginia, and has instructed him also in
reference to the menhaden fishermen
and their alleged violation of the law.
Unless Capt Hudgins finds the waters
of Virginia clear of poachers it is very
probable that the new steamer will be
heard from very soon when she gets
into the water where depredations have
occurred.

AND NOW II of the sensational
newspapers of Washington says there
was 4 recent attempt to blow up the
Capitol, White House and all the other
public buildings in that city. In
view of the unguarded condition of all
the buildings referred to, and the facili
ty with which dynamite could be used
in them, the fact that there is nothing
but the CAB, or ''yap," as Senator Hill
terms silly talk, of a notoriety-loving
crank to warrant such Il statement,
demonstrates its groundlessness. There
isn't a moment, night or day, when, if
so desired, q bomb could not be ex-
ploded in any of the government build
ings in Washington, and the simple
fact that non has been, is, of itself
alone, sufficient to prove that no at
tempt has been made to do so.

been apprised Of the fact that the Demo-
Gratis of this county would be pleased to
see him nominated for lieutenant governor
and strong sentiment is being developed
in favor of his nomination.
William Franz, candidate for the
nomination for county treasurur, is en-
deavoring to get the Republican county
committee to call the county convention IN
the near future. Mr.. Franz has been
making an active canvass for the nomina-
tion for several months and has come to
the conclusion that the sooner the matter
is definitely settled the better.
Peter Ginter has been removed from
the position OF chief clerk in the Office Of
the internal revenue collector, a position
he has acceptably filled for seventeen
years. Mr.. Herring says the removal was
made to decrease the working force in the
Office, but it is suspected that the reason
is found in the constant clamor for his re-
moval that was raised by ''to. .the-victors-

Faussold, record clerk, will hereafter do
Mr. Ginter's work and Mr.. Faussold's
