OUR COURT OF APPEALS MIS-
REPRESENTED

In the discussion Of the Wise-Young
case in Congress on Monday last Repre-
sentative Lands Of Indiana. asked Rep
resentative Burke OF Texas. who was
arguing that Mr.. Young should De al
lowed TO retain his seat. If ne thought IL
was fair to have all the election judges
Of one party. Mr. Burke replied: TO
be perfectly frank. ] do not think IL u.s..
But the Supreme Court of Appeals OF
virginia has declared the state election
law valid. and We ought not TO go be-
hind that"
This places our Court Of Appeal, i'm a
false position 10 is liable 20 make the
impression that the cour, gave its sane
tlon TO the practice Of having all the
election officers of one party. But it did
nothing of the kind. T. only decided that
the election law of Virginia was not Tee
pugnant to- the Constitution of The State.
but it gave 40 intimation Of its approval
of the execution Of the law by which al
the election officers are made to be Demo
Gratis.
The court could not. of course. impute
10 the Legislature am intention TO have
the law executed I'm the unfair manner
I'm which il actually is executed. 10 was

was no occasion for the camp 20 have
taken action but the comrade who in
troduccd the resolution ought 20 have
been sure before doing 30 that II would
pass without discussion. To have intro
duced such a resolution and have Il de-
feated will undoubtedly convey the i'm
precision abroad that tho Confederate
veterans OF Richmond are not disposed
10 stand by the government In tho war
which we are now waging with Spain.
yet such, we know, is not tho fact.
There are many people in Richmond
Confederate veterans and others, who
believe that the war might have been
honorably avorted, but all such argument
Is now out OF date and ~eside the dues-
ton. IL Is too late TO talk about what
might have been. 1t is not ours now to
ask questions and TO discuss the why and
wherefores. War has been declared and
tho fight is on. The Spanish had not be-
fore war was declared threatened 20 in
wade this country. but such an invasion
will be II the Spanish are now able to
accomplish It. and they will do us all the
harm within their power
From whatever standpoint we may now
regard the matter. whether from the
standpoint OF patriotism, or Of business,
or Of self preservation. it is the part of
good sense for every citizen TO hold up
the hands Of the administration-to rally
70 the support of the government and
10 do what he can 10 aid the government
in making vigorous fight and in bring
ing the war TO q speedy close.
All are not called upon TO fight There
will without doubt be a plenty OF volun-
teers But all are expected to give their
moral support. at least, TO the countrys
cause and to do nothing that will cause
the administration or dampen the ardor
or enthusiasm of the soldiers or give en-
couragement TO the enemy.
We feel sure that the people OF Rich
mond are as patriotic as the people Of
any city i'm the country and however
much they may have been opposed TO
the war; there is but one sentiment here
now-and that is Of prfect loyalty to the
nag OF the Union.

NO PRIyATEERING.

We are gratined that the President has
issued n proclamation committing the
United States government to the Paris
declaration against privateering.
When that convention was held and
when the European Powers. with the ex-
ception Of Spain. entered into the agree
ment. the United States. for reasons
which It is not necessary now to dis
cuss. declined to become n party TO the
contract. II has been intimated there
fore. that IN the war with Spain this
country wuold resort 70 that dastardly
method Of plratical warfare. We did not
for one moment believe that the United
States would engage in privateeTing but
II is well enough at the outset TO define
our position, that there may be no mis-
take on the part of other nations as to
our intentions.
The Presidents proclamation Is also
exceedingly liberal 10 Spanish vessels
which were caught I'm American ports

But We are sorry that the United states
Government did not from the start adhere
TO the proposition which IL made in 1856
TO the European PAYERS, that instead OF
simply abolishng priyatoering these Pow
ers should adopt the principle Of exempt
ing all private merchant ships ana their
cargoes from belligerent seizure. on the
ocean.
That is n principle which the United
states government has ever since tha'
date been preaching and most excellent

Renegade pemocrnt,,

The country is still standing on its
farms, waiting to see whether Spain
'lwill yield to its demands or force it
into war again. But the democrats of
New York refuse to discuss national
affairs. They turn sullenly to "state
issues" The national good or evil
with which the situation is fraught is
itnmeasurable; yet the New York dem
ocrats deprecate consideration Of that
Question and profess to be absorbed
In estate issues" There is still before

declarations for free silver the part
of nine-tenths of the democracy, a
Anancial issue that the supporters OF
honest money say threatens national
dSshonor and commercial disaster,
aibd the democracy says is the only
national salvation. But the New York
democrats stink from mentioning 1t,
and say that state issues" alone are

Paris, Oct. PA semi-official note
issued last evening says: "There is no
foundation for the alarmist rumors
regarding the relations between
France and Great Britain. 1t is equally
incorrect to say that extraordinary
measures have been taken at any of

Yhe diplomatic conversations re-

French side to represent that Mar
chand's mission was quite as import
ant as Gen. Kitchener's, on the ground
that the struggle was against the
Khalifa and barbarism.
On September 18, M. Delcasse, the
foreign minister, informed the British
ambassador to France, Sir Edmund
Monson, that France did not regard
Lord Salisbury's claim to the Soudan
by virtue of conquest as applying to
Fashoda, on the ground that the Mar.
chand expedition went to the relief
of the French expedition under Capt
Licotard, which dated from a period
long before the declaration in the
house of commons by Sir Edward
Grey, under secretary of state for for
eign affairs in Lord Roseberry's cab.

government toward the Soudan and al

argued that unless Great Britain
possessed the sultan's mandate as well

Egyptian provinces, France consider
ed herself equally entitled with En-
gland to possession of any point oc
cupied by French officers.

tug Thomas J. Scully lost the barges
Admiral, Oamarie, Wyandotte and At
lantic, four miles west of Connfield by
the tugs hawser parting. Soon after
wards the Admiral sprang a leak and
collded with the second barge, which
ultimately resulted in the sinking Of
the four barges. The men on the Ad-
miral were lost, but the crew of the
Scully by means of a line rescued
seven men, two women and baby
from the other barges. The rescued
were taken aboard the tug one by one
and the woman with the baby was
dragged through the heavy sea, ap-
parently little the worse for her ex-
perience.
About o'clock in the morning an
unknown schooner off shore about a
mile and a half east of Bartletts
Reef light was wrecked in the south
west gale and those aboard drowned.
The accident was witnessed by several
persons at Goshen, but up to last night
there had been no wreckage washed
ashore that would give any clue to the
identity of the schooner. The craft
was a good-sized one.
