Wo have yet .to pereelve in any of these States a disposition to pay debts which they could avoid paging on good legal and moral grounds, ‘The payment of these Confederate bonds by any State Goy- ernment would ‘bo Hlegal, 1s there Is tt express proklbition against it in an amendment to the Nattonal Constitution; ft would also be Immoral, as the Stites are now Iniabited by a vast number of citizens, Including the negroes, who did not proclaim the War, wage It, or-syinpathize with It, and ought not to be taxed to pay the cost of It ‘The Duteh speeuiators reallze further, it 1s to be hoped, that the price patd by them for the bonds fs notorious, and that the frst effort to get payment would be met by the denta! of obligation, even of a moral or senthuental kind, beyond the $2.50 per 31,000 Invested In the speculation. {€ 0 popular subseription shoutd be started to take up the bonds in every ex-Confeilerate State, as pro- posed, It Is doubtful ff enough woutd be realized to Mauidaty the expenses of the lawyer In New York who has acted as agent In making the collections, _ of *bobtall cars,” as Chicago once was, ‘She Soclety for the Prevention of Aceidents has como to the conclusion that these vebleles are resvonsible for a large proportion of the collisions, runaways, and ranayers on the streets where they are In use, and the offt- cers of that soclety have determined to prose- cute the corporations vigorously In every ease Where an aeeldent enn be traced to one of the “bobtail cars.” But there 1s amore general and more serious complaint against these cars. ‘The passengerts made conductor, callector, cashier, and sometimes 2 police ofieer.

BOOKWALTER’S REVELATION, Bookwalter, late Democratic eandidate for Governor of Ohio, tolls » story of the way In whieh ho was taken In and done for by the Democratic feadera which would he laugha- ble were It not so sorrowful. ‘Tho story of tho candidate's wrongs; how his friends got fim to buy a nomination; how his enomles Inthe fold Dlackmatted him; and how both olasges of his supporters dropped lif when they had “sqneezed the orange dry?—all this Is ng good as a comedy, It Is hko ono of Keenola tragedies—n broad farce to every- body put the man In theprinelpal part, Poor Bookwalter is an innocent, and yet not an Innocens, Ho was willing to buy the noml- nation, and perfectly willing to buy the olce- tion, but he was so ignorant o£ tho capacity of Democrats to absorb the money of the eandidate they love that he miscalculated the tinount of lis barrel left available for use In the purehuse of doubtful votes after trying to satisfy Iiis friends! In a word, when Dookwalter gaye a Democratic supporter $1,000 to bo expended in his (Book- walter’s) cause - and tho =“ glorious cause of Damoeracy,” he, in his Innocence, belleved that the “ Democratic supporter’! would dispense the fund—oxpend it where It Would “do the most good” to him, . But, us n matter of fact, the $1,000 was tucked snugly away in tho pocket of thy goud Dem- ocrat, who proceeded on election-day to voto for Bookwalter, as he would have done In any event. All through the campaign Mook- walter was buying Domocratle yotes—votes that belonged to lim, and which wore bound to be enst for him, money or ne money, But tho amusing fenture of the ease is that Book- yalter doesn’t: know now that he wasted, lis money In the purchase of proporty that be- longed to him by virtie of fils belng the standard-bearer of tha Buckeye Democracy, He thinks the * mosshacks”? defeated him beenuse they belleved him to be “a sort ot Horace Greelvy”{ ‘The mossbacks acted honestly enough, because the blackinallers, the orange-suckors, and the sponges, by whom Boukwalter was surrounded, took eure that none of that Innocents money should yeach then, As a matter of fact, these gentry were #0 busy In dovlslng ways aud meansof extracting money from Books walter, and poaketing It, that they had no thie to dovote te the legithinate work of tho campaign, The jnside view of the lute Olio Domo- eratic cnmpalgn, given by our Columbus correspondent yesterday, {8 dlaguating, re voltlng, Asn pleture of treachery, mnean- heas, antl general rascallty within the ranks of a political party—or tho intrigues of rival nots of leaders—wa venture to say that the Bookwalter campaign ls unparalleled in the history of partisan polities, Perhaps the most striking Mlustration of the total depravity which distingulshed the late Democratic campaign in Ohte Is to be found Jn tho course of the Columbus Times, owned by one Putnam aud Jolin G, ‘Thomp- son, Sergeant-at-arms of the Nutiuual House of Nepresentatives, The Imes, up to the eve-of the convention, supported Follett Imposition any, for Governor, At tho Inst moment it. came ton rightabont face in adyoeagy of Bookwalter’s nowination, ‘Thompson was adelegate to the convention and voted tor Bookwalter. Tha day after tho election the Thnes denounced Bookwaller's candidacy, declared that hla nomlaation was procured by lproper means, and that hoe deserved defeat. 11 explanation of this extraordlnary mixed course itis insinuated that thero was corrupt reason for tho ‘Thnce’ sudden change from Follett to Bookwalter, anu it ls ehurged (hat tho Dimes demanded $1,000 from Bookwalter with which to Inerease its circulation, which demand was refused; and finally Chat ‘Thompson promised the Imanagement uf Bookwalter's campalgn and barrel, which promise was not tullitted. ‘Chis is one of dozens of Ihtistrations of the ulter rottenness wich purvaded the campaign from the Inceptlon of the intrigue for the nomination of the now convert, Bookwalter, to the cnd—his defeat by twenty-tive thou- sand mnjoriiy, The Executive Committee was “sct up” agalnst tho candidate, aud tho confidence of the candidate In tho committes was utterly destroyed. and perhaps with good reason, ‘The candidate was bled unmereifully by the machine, and the money, Instead of being expended for tha party bonelit, was fooled away or pocketed by party soldlers of fort- une, Bookwalter spent twenty thousand dollars on the Democratic press of tho State, elreulating a iailiion copies among Repub- Mean and supposed independent voters, But this Javish expenditure did not save him more demands and threats of blackmail. And one of the papers kept tts word. Book- walter having retused to retleve its property of a mortange for $300, It openly advocated Ils desertton, advising Democratle electors ta contine their efforts to securing control of the Legisiature. So much meanness and treachery were én- tirely tinmecessary to the accomplishinent of the end in view—namely: the extinetion of Bookwatter as a factor in Ohio Democratic politics; he was destined to defeat in any event, even hat the machine and the news- papars been perfectly united In his support. ‘The conclusion ts, therefore, irresistible that the maln purpose of the Democratic party raseals was to bleed Bookwalter ant pocket as largo a sum as possible of his money. The managers of the machine were agreed on the proposition to steal Bookwatter’s ral- ment, but they were not content to enst lots for Its possession, In parting ls barrel numerous quarrels arose, aud by these quar rels the Democratie party of Ollo stands ox- posed to tho scorn and contempt of the coun- iry. ‘Thus bossism reeelves nnotherstunning blow and the maching In politics Is left Ina deeper slough—imired to the hud, PERILS OF VIHGINIA POLITICS. Politics in Virginia present some situations that woultt be supremely Indicrous were it not for the: profound gravity and deep earnestness of the’ actors. Every man fn that State who engages in polities voluntarily subserlbes to un implied pledge that Hf any person during the campiign shall atter any- thing «disrespectful of hitin he will bnme- diately chatlenge such person to mortalcom- bat; and, further, he assumes an obligation that If he shail utter anything distasteful to any other person he shall promptly when called upon present himself to be shot at. It will be seen therefore that politics iu Vir- glnin aro subject to the code, and that every man who makes & speech or writes a letter must prevare hhnself for contingeneles, with half-dozen friends to net as seconds, and with plist balls, powder, and caps, es- peelally the latter. Partles In Virginta at present are tho Dem- oerats and the Readjusters, ‘The difference hetween than grows out of tho State debt. ‘The Democrats insist tliat the State debt amounts to a certuin stm, and that tho honor of: Virginian demands that It be paid, principal and tnterest, to the Iast cent, bit they reject all legisintion and all action look- ing to the payment of any part of it. The Readjustors insist that the public debt Is many millions less than the Democrats con- vede, and this nmount they propose to pay, prinetpal and interest, 1 ia a question In Virginia which {s most conststent with honor, to: pay the less sum or fo admit a Jarwe debt and pay no part of It. Mahone was a Democrat and a Confederate General, but not of ns blue blood as the old Democratle dynasty, Je has several native Virginia Heutenants, all of good blood, and with them he lends the Readjuster party, The Democrats lament the defection by which Virginians should opposo the old dynnsty, aud tho election canvass has been marked with a large degree of personal abuses and denuneiation incidental te, questions of Dlvod and personal “honor.” One of Mw hone's adjutants is named Mddleberger, Recently, Mr. Riddleberger published let ter-purporting to linva been written by one Wilson, charging George D. Wise with forgory, but at the sue tle disctalming any responsibility for Wilson’s statements. Wise thereupon denounced Mtddloberger ns a baso Har and slandorer.” and Iiddlebor- gor promptly challenged him, At the same time one It, F, Bierne, an editor, declared that Hiddleberger was unworthy of belief, and Riddleberger also challenged hin, Hoth duels wore fixed for the sume day, and Berne and Riddleverger met, Pistols were plenty, but when the seconds undertook to lond the guns thero was not a cap to be tound, ‘The duel had to be post. poned, and Riddeberger posted some miles further gown the rond where ho met Wise, Ilere Wiso's cap refused to ox- plode; at- the secon shot, Wiso’s bullet mado a hole through the long tall of Riddle borger's dress coat; at the third shot both anfgsed. ‘Then Wddleberger advanced and hetd out his hand to Wisos a council of “honor” was hold, and it decided that Wise's honur permitted hin to nccept Riddleberger’s hhond, which he dil, and the questions of “forgery” aud “base lying” though une sottlad, were declared “off,” because * hone ors” wore equal on both sides, In tho mean- ime Bierno waa cooling his heels 9 short distanes away, and, caps haying been pro- cured, Riddleberger ana he were about to try tholr markmansiip, when a Polico Jus- tlee appeared and arrested lerno and his seconds Riddleberger esenped tho Justice, but at a Inter hour was also arrested, Both princlpals were put under batl, and tho ques. tlon of “honor” between then ts yet undo termined. Another of the Wiso faintly has already fought a duel this your, and several other duels are In the whit, ‘Those who remomber the storles of Marry at will veentl the report mado by him In one of his books of the celelobrated triangular duel when one of the partles ehalienged dhe two othors, amd they took positions at the points of triangle, each man firing at Ms right hand neighbor, . Why Itddteberger did not arming his duels on this plan ean only bo attributed to fargettulnuss. Had he done ko, then Blerne woult haye had a chance to get Inn shot, even If he did not fire av his challenger, In the Virginian ducl Riddle- berger saved his honor by a scratch, tho ball touching only the tall of his cont, Poor Blorne {s the only disappointed man In the lot, He was not shot at, nor did ‘he havea shot; and thin la due to not fighting the trl- angular duel according to precedent. Asif these people had not done vuough to make themse! and the vode the laughing- stock of the country, and thelr mode of re adjusting their honor a complete farce, there Is natory that ole Jubal Early; at 8 years of age, has challenged tho fiery Mahone, It Is tre that Mahone has announced that he Will not fight the venerable soldier, becatise he (hinks Sherldan whipped the latter cnouzh, bit Mahone may tind that lo refttse to fight anybody, oven his great-grandfathor, may serlousty datiage hint at tho eleetion, and lo may be this driven to stand up and ho shot at, A later report is to the effect that bath have been arrested nut helt to trial, so that case of honor fs also “oll” for the present. ‘Those Virgiula ducts, or so-eatled “ meet- tugs on tho fleld of honor,” are not the work of boys or children, but, the netors are full- growmmen, old cnotch to understand that tho farces in whieh they appenr havo, tot oven tho excuse of novelty, ‘They are simply rl- dlenlous efforts at playing ridicutous heroes. ‘They are senseless exhibitions of childish folly, and that Virginian who has the cour- age to refuse to recognize any obligution on his part to submit to tho code will rauk much higher as aman of bravery and intel- llgence nnd as sensible, cultivated gentle- man than whl any of the partleipants in these mountebank “performauces on the * fiold of honor,” whether they terminate in shots through the coat-tail or arrests by the constable. How much longer will Southern elvilization continue to tolerate this alfceta- tlon of barbarism ? ee THE NEW YORX ELEVATED RAILROADS AND THE GOLD BRIOK SWINDLE. ‘Two nen were arrested in New York tho other day for attempting to sell to a retired tradesman who had some money to invest 0 gokl brick made of brass, ‘Chis brick was salted with nlittio gold, whieh the holders bored out for ngsay, and tho price of the fraud was $5,000,. The men were arrested ona charge of swindling, unt will no doubt be tried, convicted, und sent to prison, as they deserve to be. In the same tssuo of the Now York paper that tells of the apprehension of these gold brick swindlers is an account of tho successful negotintion for a settlement of tha troubles between the clevated railronds, By this plan, Mantiattan, which had been earning 9 defictt, is to recelvo anual dividends of 4 per cent, Ono of the high contracting parties to this agree- ment had sworn within a month Ina court of justica that Manhattan stock was worth- less, and had tio assets whatever, ‘The othor high contracting party had declared that he would not give a cent for ag many of Its cer- tifleutes ag ndonkey could haul down hit, Hardly hnye these statements reached tho public when these men meet and agree that this stock shall bo pald a dividend of per cent ayear out of the carnliugs of the ele- vated roads, and that the dividends of tha other companies shall be reduced for that purpose, As an immediate result, Manhat- tan, which had been kleked around for months ag worthless, advanced 50 per cent in price in two days, and seems likely to go much higher. 3 The men who are now selling up Manhat- tanas a dividend-payer are the same men who. but a fow weeks ago were using all the machinery of the courts, tho press, and of the Attorney-General of Now York State to destroy all the confidenco In Its value of those who owned ft. Recelvers were ap- polnted, bankruptey and forfeiture of ite charter were threatened, its lenses of the other roads were attacked as mull and void, and stockholders were warned that all they coull get from thelr investment would be an assesament of 100 per cent on the stock they owned. Molders woro seared out, and sold down to 15 the stuck which they had bought at prices rising to 70. When the olavated ratlronds werd built thoy were bonded for nore than thelr cost. ‘They were then capitalized for $1:3,000,000 more, Then the ‘philanthropists who built thom for tha accommodation of the public Aled with water, formed a new company, the Manhattan, which, with no asseta bute charter, lensed the two-eloyated rons, and guaranteed them 10 por cunt a yenr on thelr stock, Manhattan stock Was Issued to the amount of $15,000,000 nnd listed on the New York Stock Exchange forsaic. ‘This stock the Incorporators told investors was pure gold; ft controlled all the elevated railroad business of New York, and was certain to be immensely vatuable, 16 was sok to the publicats0to%0, When they hind unlonded their gold bricks at theso prices, the managers of the New York clovat- ed railroads turnad around and dectared that what they had just parted with wag after all not gold, but brass. ‘here was nothing they did not say or do to prove Its wortlilesness, and they auceecded in buying back as brass what they had sold as gold. ‘The men who cheated the public out of millions by these dishonest manipulations and misrepresentations aro called Annueiors, ‘Tho fellows who tried to defraud a credu- Tous man out of $5,000 for n brass brick aro ealted swindlors, ‘Cho Inw will visit Its heavlest panalttos on the latter, but when the former go into court It will only bo to uso the law In ald of soine new scheme for approprinting, legally, the proporty of others to thelr own use, If the men who get wp 1 85,000 fraud aro awindlers, what are the inen who fabricate a $15,000,000 swindle? If tho $5,000 awindlors must go to fall, whore shoulil the $13,000,000 swindlars be sent to? CURIOUS CHANGE OF SENTIMENT. Tho world moves} ‘Think of tho secession Southron, the Irreconcilable and warecon- structed Confederate, protesting against the removat of Unitod States blue-conts from ono of the Capitals of the South! Sueh an occurrence would have been regarded as imposalbio Mfteen years ago, when the Cone federates belleved themselves benten but not vanguished, It would scarcely have been credited if anybody had predicted such ® chango even five years ago, when tho South was ringing with eloquent phrases about the intimidation of Federal bayonets at the polls, ‘The announcement of such an event would have been 9 shock to Congress even Inter on, when tho Democrats refusede| to pass appropriations for the support of the army untess the Government would agre to sont nil the troops to the frontier nnd gunr- antee their absence from all clyilized com- munities duringelectlon-time, And yet this {s precisely what lias occurred nt. Atlanta, (in, An order to abatiton the mifitary post ab that point has exelted something lke Indig- nation and consternation among the good peopleof the elty, Petitions are in circulation which beg the Georgla Senators, INL and Brown, to use thelr futluence with the Gen- erat of the Army to have the order revoked, ‘The very people to whom the sight of a blue vont & few years ago wis ny offensive na the appenrance of the Devil hinsulf would have been are now so fond of Uncle Sam's sol- dlera that thoy netually weep over them at parting, This event at Atlanta seoms to denote practical progress teward the unification and conciliation of the two sections, ad o rad- Jeal change of sentimentat theSouth towards the North, ‘The fact that there fs to'somne ex- tent n mercenary, feeling at the bottom of aAtlonta’s protest ayninst the removal of the troops from that elly does not preclude the theory we have suggested, If the Southern communities are becomlug mereautile in thelr jentiments then they ure growlng apart from the sectlonal:and partisan prejudices which hayes nurait the rancor of War tlnes, When the people of Atlanta prefer to harbor even National soldiers, nud endure the pretended menace of “Northern bay- onets,” rather than lose the rental of tho ground occupled by the barracks and the (isbursement of 840,000n month among thom for the support of tho garrison, there is 0 alan that the Southern people are coulng to iheir senses, An eye to the main chanee will be the safest protection against future wullification, secession, sovlut ostracism, or any other form of disunton, It is tho yery opposit of the proposition mado in certain quarters only a few years ugo to cut off commercial Intercourse with the North. ‘The South will always find an advantage In tutiinate assovin- tlon with the North, whieh controls the capt tal, the enterprise, the energy, and the best business brains of the country; and if the people of the South have vt last arrived ata proper appreciation of such advantage, 09 the desire to retain tho Nutlonal troops st Adlauta would Indicate, then the country any begin to feel that the War is really over, with only sieht remnants as Jeff Davis, Jubal Early, Bob Toombs, and a few othor dlefecta membra to reeall {ts bitterness. Jt may be that social considerations nc- count in part for the reluctance which the people of Avianta exhibit In parting with the brave blue-conts who havo been quartered there, In sutett case the event would be still more significant of « change in sentiment. If the Indles of Atlanta Join tho men in pro- testing against the removal of the Fifth Ar- tillery, it would Inilteate that Union officers are no longer tho betes notre they formerly were in Southern society. It may bo that the Southern Indies have discovered that zal- Iantry Is not an unknown artat the North. It may be that the officers of the garrison at Atlanta have made themselves useful ns_es- corts, have developed a capacity for leading the German, und in other respeels have com- menied thetnselves to the fairsexin the South.
