TIIUR3DAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 15.
Gen. Mahone is evidently insincere. Ho
says'.he Virginia democrats are ''Bourbons,"
but he shows plainly enough in his latest ef?
fusion that be believes they are the mcst
forgetful people in the world. All know
that Bourbons never forget anything. The
General's forte, as proved by the paper ie
ferred to, and the preceding one, ia not
written words. He denounces Mr. Barbcur
for vaiious sorts of delinquencies, and ful?
some political crimes, and says that gentle?
man's sole object now is to Eein a seat in
the U. S. Sonate. There is not a man of
the requisite aga in Virginia, "Bjurbon" or
otherwise, who doesn't know that save only
and except for the fact that tho democrats
wou'd not have Gen. Mahone fur Governor,
he would never have left the democratic
party, of w hieb ho was once one of iho most
ultra and proscriptive inembeis, and that it
is only bis absorbing desire to go hack to
the Senate that is now inducing him to
spend his money in order to attain that ol>
ject. One of his charges u that Mr. Har?
bour never did anything to help the Con?
federacy duiing the war. But every well
informed Virginian kuows that dining the
war Mr. Barbour was president of the Vir?
ginia Midland Railroad, a road that did as
much for the Confederacy as any other in
the country, and that the proper dis?
charge of the duties of its presidency could
not have left him much time for any other
ser vioe. This attack upon t be war record of
Mr. Barbour revives iu the memory of the
unforgetful "'BourboiH" the fact that there
wad a rurnor during tho war to tbeelTect that
the Gen. and his sutler, when his command
on GUtpcat duty, earned on a profitable
trade with the enemy. Another one of
of h:s charges i-s that Mr. Harbour gains vic?
tories for his party by fraudulent elections.
This makes the " Bourbons" remember that
during the Mahone regime, of the ihiee
judges o?election at every precinct one was
a Mahoneite, one a republican and one a
democrat, and that the two fomu-r always
decided against the one lattei; that his reg
istrirs, with bald face impudence, declared
they would rei ister gravo yurds; that his
deputy collectors gave spurious tax receipts
to*all who would promise to vote his ticket,
and that ?.'?)?? fraudulent action cf his re?
turning board in the ca.-e cf the Congress
man from the First district wi.s so gro
that it was spurned and rejected even by
the republicans in the U.S. Honso of Repre?
sentatives. The General also hss the ef
frontery to charge tho democrats with re?
moving school ofiice:s and judges. But the
"Bourbons" will never forget the wholesale
changes the General made in the officers re?
ferred to, when the man he made superin?
tendent of public education in the State was
bo deficient that he could not write a gram
mulicai paragraph, and when one of his
loaders in the Virginia legislature openly
declared that the only qualifications his par?
ty required of a judge were thnt ho he n re
adjuster and once in bis lifo have opened a
law book. Then, too, the General says Mr.
Barbour never profited the State to the ex?
tent of a dollar, while bo, the Genera), in
one transaction alone, put half a million in?
to her treasuiy. This hints all, for no Vir?
ginian with the slightest degree of memory,
let alono a "Bourbon,*'will ever forget the
notorious fact, that in the very case to which
the General alludes the State was offered
?ix millions of dollars for her interest in the
Norfolk and Western Railroad, that that
offer was declined soloiy and entirely by
and tSrough tho General's inllucnce, and
that a few years afterwards it was sold for
a half million, aud that during the interval
the General wa3 paid a salary of twenty-five
thousand dollars a year as president. No,
unfortunately for the General, the "Bour?
bons" don't forge', but, that he really be
lieves they do, is pateut to every reason?
able man who has rend his letter on Mr.
Barbour. _
Mr. Tinsi.kv told a Dispatch reporter that the
amount of coupons tendered ly merchant? of
Eichmond for license taxes up to August 31st
was $8,810.72.
Ono is surprised in g'acciog over this list to
find tho names of many of the best business men
of Richmond of almost every bra'eh of trade or
profession. Nunicrom real estate agents, many
liquor dealers, and several of the largest dry goods
dealers in tho city hio among the number.

Could thoro be any stronger proof of the
utter failure of tbe Riddleberger bill toot
feet tho repudiating object lor which it was
designed by the. Mahoneitos? And yot the I
Roanoke convention re eudorsed that bill.
There nro demt crate uod democrats as well |
as men and men.
Congressman Cox of New York, an old
time, good and true, and consistent demo
erat, says he "is willing that the tax on to
bacco shou'd bo removed,because that would
benefit the producers, but that there ar*> loo
many necessaries of life uxod for him to \
countenance the rep^i 0f (h.0 (ftX on wi,ig
ky." Bat the late so-called democratic con ;
vention at Roanoke, demanded tho repeal*
of tho tax on whisky, though the legitimate
effect of the removal of that tax, and iho i
object for which the republicans support I
that removal, will bo tho retention ol the
tax on thj necessaries of J.I'd. Andyollheiearo
ic'i called democrats who pretend to doubt
ibe democracy of those true democrats who
pccut some of the planks of the platform
ado] ted by that convention..
No right thinking man is made glad by
tbo hanging of any other man; but it is
equally as certaiu that no right thinking
man has causa of complaint against the su?
preme court of Illinois for afllrmiug the de?
cision of the lower court ol that State in the
case of the murderous auarcbists of Chicago,
for if ever men deserved hanging they do.

The Chicago Anarchists.
Tho Supremo Court, of Illinois has aflirm
ed the decision cf tbe lower court in the
case of Spies, Schwab, Fischer, Engel, i ield
en. Parsons and Lingg, tbe Chicago anarch
ist.?, convicted on August 20, 1SSG, of haviug
murdered a number of policemen by theu3e
of dynamito bombs on May 4 of the same
year, and has ordered that tbo sentenco of
death imposed on them he carried into ef?
fect on November 11. Sicco the opinion
has finally been rendered a feeling of relief
is experienced, and outside of anarchistic
and socialistic circles the verdict is univer?
sally approved.
The announcement of the sentence cansed
intense excitement in the jail building. Capt.
Schaut k was notified early of the decision,
nnd soon an additional force of officers wero
seen patrolling the vicinily of the
jail. Detectives were also posted on
I nearly every approach to tho place,
and every suspicious character was watched,
j When the dispatch conveying the news was
j shoved through the box to Spies, the turn
i key waited a moment to seo what effect it
j would have on him. The anarchist tod;
j the mpssage, glanced firmly at the lurnke)
; and then withdrew lo tbo darker end of the
I cell. In two minutes or so he called geuliv j
I to tbe old man, who sits as death watch out ;
j side tho barred door, and asked him to hand j
l the yellow telegraph sheet to Parsons |
From him it went to all the others and !
reached Neebe, who is only under sentence ;
of imprisonment. Each of the condemned
men made ostentatious efforts at coolness :
and bravado They took seal* at their eel! '
doors and read newspapeus and books,
emoked cigars, and o:u-e Liugg, the bomb ;
maker, whistled. Their wives and tiiei.d^j
had been with them for an hour during the
morning, but about 30 minutes before the
news ranie they were all excluded and the
prisoners locked up, each alone by himself
Steps, it is said, will bo taken to appeal the ease
to tho United States t'upremo Ct/urt. The super
sedeas will bo a3kod for on the ground that the
constitution w.13 violated in tho unreasonable
search made for evidence, and if this fails, an ap?
peal to execntivo clemency will ho made. Tho
petitions for clemency will bo prorontod to Qov.
Oglesby.
One of tho lawyers for tho defedse said that
notwithstanding tho talk of an appeal to the
United States Supremo Court, the only hope now
wa3 in the mercy of Gav. Oglesby, and he claimed
to have no doubt whatever that tho sentence of
four of the seven wonld lie commuted. "Upon
what do you base your opinion ?" was asked. "J
have reasons for believing that officers represent?
ing the prosecution will use their efforts to bring
about such remits. I have not only my opinion
that that will he tho cane, but I have their word
for it."
"Which of tho anarchists will have tiieir sen?
tences c .mmuted, if any ?"
"I do not believe that Samuel Fioldca, Michael
Schwab or A. U. Parsons wili over bo hanged, and
very much doubt whether Adolph Fischer will.
As to the others, at present I must confess it looks
pretty blue.''
' Why should theso four he let off easier than
tho others
"Tho testimony as t) them wss so different and
their conduct and actions as proved was such as
to warrant a difference in the punishment."
To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Who "Sam Hile" may be I do not pup
pose Iho members of the Woodlawa Farm?
ers' Club, collectively or individually, care
a continental ; but when he asserts the debt,
in question was incurred to suppress Ihe
Juhn Brown raid, he either misrepresents
the case for a purpose or ho is ignorant of
tho facts. I do not propose to review the
subject in question here, as in time it will
be ventilated beforo tbe courts. But I do
take tho ground tbut any body of free men
in council as farmers, knights of labor, mer?
cantile associations, or what not, have a
tight, aud it is their duty, to discuss any
and every question affecting their interests
without lot or hindrance, and if the ques?
tion of taxation does not effect tho land
owners in Ibis county, pray, what question
does ? I have always opposed tho idea we
must choose a man to represent us in the
legislature simply hecauso ho was a farmer.
I would rather send him hecauso of his fit?
ness. But if it has como to this, that be
cause we are agriculturists wo must con
tine our attention to hugging potatoes, the
wheat midge, or chinch bugs, and kindred
subjects, lest, forsooth, we trench on the
opinions of some old party backs, I say up
with Iho farmers' llag, and if this bo waving
the bloody shirt, why let the red rag duller,
and we shall soon see who the bulls are.
Conceal it as we may, there is a feeling of
contempt with many for those engaged in
our profession, and had they tho power we
should bo in the position of tbo woman
whose husband said to her, "E.it your
pudding, slave, and hold your tongue.''
Wo propose to recognise with all
due respect tbe decisions of our
couit-*, on all questions submitted to them.
It might be interesting to known whether
tho writer would have us yield the same im?
plicit respect for the decisions of tbo U. S.
courts, rendered on certain questions in this
State. If these old war claims are decided
to bo valid and our property is to bo taxed
to pay them, there is an element wo can ap
peal to?it is to those who may contemplate
immigrating to tbisState. We can say as you
value your future welfare stay away, for
heaven only knows where this thing will
terminate. Wo aro not criticising tho relief
afforded those who are buffering from mis
fortunes brought on by circumstances over
which in a majority ot cases they had no
control. But Sam's mind expands cs be
closes up; in his liberality he would gracious?
ly allow us to fully inform our minds pro?
vided the questions were proper ones. But
this subject is of too grave a nature for us to
grapple with, and it is. incomprehensible to
our critic, and shows on our part a lack of
sense, and a want of proper respect to our
legal authorities, for ua to be so officious.
As to its political bearing?and that is the
nnimu* of the article?it would he well for
Sam's friends to pad lock the mouths of all
of his ilk, lest they think, if they are not
constrained to say, that. Dogberry's request
in that famous trial "In much ado about
nothing" would apply to Sum Hile.

Affairs in France ?At a military ban
quet in Toulouse Tuosd ty evening, Geu.
Breart, commander of tbe Thirteenth Artil?
lery Corps, declared that France now knew
her strength, and tbat sho wa.s ready and
awaited revenge. M. Cales, member of tbe
Chamber of Deputies, said iho recont mobili?
zation experiment showed that the army
was now in a position to give France the
revenge for which she impatiently awaited.
Tbe speeches have excited seriotis comment.
The evening papers endeavor to soften the
effect of tbe speeches, and ns.=ert that no im?
portance must be attached to them. They
blame the speakers, and say that the Ger?
man press will be suro to make an outcry
because of the speeches, and they therefore
admonish France to remain quiot and dig?
nified.
The Count of Paris, in a manifesto, ap
proves the recent action of tho royalistr" in
the Chamber of Deputies, but says: "Tbe
apparent calm ill concaals the perils of the
future All powerful electoral considera?
tions dominate Parliament and sterlize all
efforts to adjust tho finances. The in?
stability of the executive isolates France in
Europe. The ascendant faction oppresses
the remainder. Nobody has confidence in
the morrow. The situation imposes duties
upon tho monarchists in the country who,
unshackled like those in Parliament by a
limited mandate, must show France how
necessary it ia and how easy it will be to
restore tho monarchy, and must roasaure
her against imaginary dangers, aud prove
that the transition can bo legally effected.
In vain does Congress proclaim tho eternity
of the republic. The day France clearly
manifests her wishes no obstacle or proced?
ure will prevent the revival of the mon?
archy. Experience," however, gives small
ground to hope for a peaceful transition.
History furnishea too many reaaona by
which to foreaee one of those violent cries
which seem to bo of periodical character in
the life of the nation."

I fears of bad weather which had previously
been entertained disappeared. The sky was
clear and tho temperature comfortable.

I of guests appeared ou the streets early this
! morning in their holiday garb, "right hearted
aud ail beut toward tho single object of
making the celebration a fitting one. All
day yesterday and last night visitors, in
eluding guests, military and firemen, ar
rived by every possible conveyance, and the
dozen railroad depots were taxed to the ut?
most in accommodating tho throng which
had (locked hero. All the hotels were tilled
to overflowing by yesterday morning, aud
every inch of surplus space had been tilled
with cots aud other means of temporary
rest. It is said that there are at least two
hundred thousand visitors from a distance.

that is lovely in the extrerno. In all di?
rections as far as tbo eye can reach there was
one mass of bunting and decoration. The
I monster civic and industrial pageant started
? rVom Broad and Dauphin streets shortly af
E ?*r 10 o'clock and marched to Board and
3 .Tooro streets, a distance cf nearly live
miles, and then countermarched to the
1 slarting point, passing through one- con?
tinuous lino of observation stands gaily
decorated with the Hags of all nations.

bo almost impassable as early as soven
o'clock and tho great crowds betook them
selves to the street, notwithstanding the
efforts of the police to keep the latter clear.
Tho magnificent throughfarohad boeumela
morphossd into a vast amphitbeatro, with
seats raised high ou either side, and they
wero crowded to repletion. The overflow
crowded on the sidewalks and in tbe street
and many of them were able to catch on
ly occasional glimpses of the pageant as it
passed. The parade illustrated tho ad
vancemont of tho industrial arts and
sciences during tho past century,aud it is be?
lieved fairly eclipsed anything of tho kind
ever known. There were iu lino three
hundred floats, oach bearing a representa?
tion of .-?ouie particular branch of industry,
twelve thousand men, three thousand horste
and ono hundred and fifty bands of music.
