What Utter Hypocrisy. \ The Virginia debt question prom- | (ses to again create an issue in the politics of that state. On that ques- tion, as on most others in which the | re-adjusters and democrats were di- vided on party lines, justice was on the side of the re-adjusters That party would have paid a iarge por tion of the debt at least, while the democrats {favored repudiation. The cemocratic policy prevailed. Sir Edward Thornton and the Brit- ish bondholders, unfortunately tor them and for the good name of the old dominion, will never get their money until the Republicans come into complete control of — the entire political machinery of that ate.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. “Until the Kepublican party come into complete control ot the entire political machinery ot that state.’’ Can it be possible that our esteemed St. Louis contemporary wrote these lines with an equable tace, and with a countenance that was not coa- vulsed with an uncontrollable laugh ter? Newspapers often fool indi- viduals, the public, a great many people who ought to know better; but they never tool themselves. In- comparable hypocrites to the out- side world, within their own sphere of action they lay bare as with a scalpel, and probe to the bottom as with a swerd. For them poor hu- man nature is but a skeleton clothed temporarily in flesh. They take away the flesh and leave the drv bones to rattle about many grinning protests against all that is sham and buckram in everyday lite, and all that 1s cheat, and boast and juggle in journalism. as 80 Who knows better than the Globe Democrat how, once upon a time the republican party owned Virgin ta from the smirk on the smug face of the renegade Mahone to the vul- gar oaths on the lips of the renegade Riddleberger.

The buzsards were tearing at what was left of the car- Cass—these were the carpet-bag- gers. Night had fallen upon Vir ginia, and from out the very black- ness ot darkness of this little else could be heard above the flapping ot ominous pinions and the whetting of insatiable beaks.
