social event. and the play will doubtless
be an artistic success. unencumbered by

The comedy is one OF the standard

The cast had a rehearsal at the Thea

is familiar with the lines, and all are
delivered with a thorough conception that

manner. The sale Of seats commences
next Monday morning at o'clock at the
Academy.

INTEREST Is BEING AROUsFD.

We are glad 10 know that there are
thoughtful members of the Legislature
who recognize the danger to our very
civilization in the regular frauds now
perpetrated in our elections in some coun-
ties. and who are anxiously revolving the
subject In their minds with a view TO
determining what shall be done to end the
evil. In conversation with an important
functionary Of the government, who is
also one of Nirginia's most respected
citizens. the gravity Of the situation was
fully admitted by him, and he expressed
himself fully in sympathy with the pro-
position to require the ballot-boxes to be
kept all day. under heavy penalties. In
open view of the voters, and TO permit
two or more friends of the opposing can
dldates TO be with the ballot-boxes from
the time the voting ceases until the re-
suit of the election is announced. This
gentleman. however. was opposed to Civ

His view was that the members OF the

and are therefore more IN contact with

We think this view proceeds upon a
wrong PREMISE Legislators should come
frequently from the people. that the laws

A STRANGE PARALLEL.

The Democratic members of the Ways
and Means Committee seem to have final
ly adjusted differences amongst them
selves and have agreed TO recommend to
the Democratic party that 1t adopt as
part of its party legislation an income
tax OF 2 per cent. on all incomes over
and above $4,000 The law itself will be as
odious as all income tax laws are, but it will
tie the Democratic party TO the undemo-
cratic and unjust principle that some
men are TO pay taxes, while others, album
dainty able to do so. are to go tax free.
There is no reason why a man enjoying
an income Of $4,000 shall go tax free, while
one who has an income OF $4,lOO shall pay
taxes, no matter how small, and the
party which goes before the country on
any such proposition is bound TO lose in
the end, with the end not far postponed.
II we are to have an income tax, there
is but one principle upon which it can be
rightfully imposed which is to tax all
incomes at the same rate, except those
that are so small that they may be
properly omitted on the principle Of de
mmmis lex non curat The latest French
ministry came near going to pieces last
week on a proposition very similar to the
Democratic income tax. We copy from
the New York Sun the following account
Of what occurred there:
What took place I'm the Chamber on
Tuesday last was this: NJ. Burdeau. the
Finance Minister. introduced the promised
bill for the conversion of the national
bonds now bearing 4 IL per cent. inter-
est, into bonds which should pay only -
per cent. AS the amount Of money saved
TO the country by the proposed change
would exceed S13,0y0.001 a year. the argu-
ments in favor OF the measure were over
whelming. and IL was ultimately passed
by vote OF 4g5 to !. But. In the course
OF the debate, the use to be made of the
sum saved became the subject of discus
sion. and then il was that certain Incl
dents OF the utmost gravity occurred.
Two important amendments TO the gov
ernment bill were moved by NJ. Jaures,
a Socialist Deputy. the leader Of the
section whose parliamentary influence
was supposed 10 have been annihilated
through it's avowed or suspected SYM
Of the dynamite outrage. The first of
these amendments was to the effect that
the money economical by the conversion
should be applied to reducing the land
tax. The government, apparently falling
10 discern the fun scope of the movers
intention. made no vigorous resistance TO
this amendment, being trammelled by its
former public promise 10 lessen the bur
deps upon agriculture. Nothing was said.
however by any OF the ministers 10 war
rant the assumption that they accepted
the amendment, and their staunchest sup
Dorters voted against II Nevertheless.
II was carried by vote OF $50 TO 2iO. This
was bad enough for y sho..d hit d.
the eyes OF great body Of Republicans
the merits OF a motion were not clouded
by the sponsorship of a Socialist. The
surprise Of the. day was yet to come. how
ever. Justly encouraged by the favorable
reception o. his first amendment, NJ.

THE NEW SELECTION FOR THE
SUPREME COURT.

II. as seems 10 be now indicated. Sena-
tor Hill makes a fractional opposition TO
the confirmation Of Mr.. Peckham to be
a justice of the Supreme Court OF the
United States. he and those who aid
him. in his opposition will make very
great mistake. No better appointment
could have been made from the State of
New York than that Of Mr.. Peckham.
lie has been for twenty-five years a
lawyer OF very large practice and Of the
highest standing in New York, and
charges affecting his Democracy are
absurd. lie has fought Mr.. Hnrs ma
chine very earnestly, but he is none the
less n Democrat to the core.
No public man in New York possessed
the confidence OF the late Samuel ].
Iflden more thoroughly than Mr.. Peck
ham, and Mr.. Tilden was not likely TO
select as his aiders and advisers men Of
questionable Democracy. When Tam
many. under the control Of John Kelly,
sent delegation to the National Demo-
cratic Convention at Cincinnati in 1850
that nominated General Hancock 10 re-
present New York in opposition TO the
regular delegation. Mr.. Peckham appeared
before the Committee on Condentials.
which settled the controversy, to repre-
sent the regular delegation, and he
represented it In speech of great power.
He would hardly have been selected for
that important duty If there had been
any sort of question about his loyalty
to Democracy.
Although the Supreme Court is badly
weakened for want of its ninth Justice.
no one would think of questioning the
prerogative Of the Senate TO reject anv
nomination which the President might
send to 1t. Notwithstanding that fact.
But the Senate should have good rea-
sons for rejecting a nomination which
the President has deliberately made. and
the fact that that person has opposed
some or the personal ends of ID. Il. Hin
is not a sufficient one to satisfy rea.
sonabie men. Mr. Peckham should he
at once confirmed.

THE TINES POSITION IN IHE
MATTER


The way the Dispatch insists upon put
ting the Times into the position of sort
OF Commemorative attorney-what the
French call procureur-general-for all the
people Of Virginia is truly ludicrious.
The Times is no more interested TO
arrest fraud in our elections than the
Dispatch ought TO be. and than all other
citizens OF Virginia are. The Times knows
that in many localities fraud is now the
rule. and elections are simply a farce,
and, as all good citizens should do, it
prays that the Legislature will resort 10
all possible measures to have this state
of affairs brought TO an end But the
Times is no more concerned to see it done
than all other right-thinking Virginians
should oe.
Amongst other things, the Dispatch
says:
"Besdea, It seems queer that the Times
should call upon our Legislature or any
of its committees TO observe any of its
requests after it has expressed its con-
tempt for them in language which admits
Of no misconcepuon. Ordinarily one
doesn't pronounce a tribunal unworthy
and then invoke its aid
Did any one ever before hear Of such
a criterion of public duty and public re-
sponsibility? If it were true that the
Times had expressed the utmost possible
contempt for every member of the Legis-
lature. would that in any degree whatever
lessen the duty of the Legislature to sup
press fraud in our elections and secure
us honesty in them?
The Times has no axe to grind or favor
to ask of the Legislature of Virginia.
The Times points out TO it what every
Virginian knows to be. the fact. that
elections are ended and done for in many
parts Of Virginia, and II asks the Legisla-
ture of Virginia if it is going to allow
this state of facts to continue? That is
the Times entire part in the affair.
The Dispatch says it believes the cleo
ton frauds in Virginia are exaggerated
a hundred-fold. We would like to know
what does the Dispatch think is the real
amount Of fraud?
