EVENING EDITION,
TOE VIBGINIA. OUTLOOK.
.Gen. Mahone is the best party or
" ganizer in "Virginia. This is his rep
: ntation, and in it consist his strength
and danger. The Lynehbarg Act
vance, edited by a shrewd politician,
. of the 12th inst., says of his calcula
tions: i
t:- "That he has some hope of success there
" : can be no doubt. It is stated, for instance,
hat he claims 6,000 majority for Wise in
bt the' second; or Norfolk district; and 8,000
ia the fourth." or Petersburg districts A It is
. ; said, also, that he claims 3,500 majority in
r the ninth,' or Abingdon district, which
P T- would give Wise an aggregate majority of
.-' '- a7,500 in the State, to be overcome by the
: : " ..seven other conceded Democratic districts.
. C If- Gen. "Mahone is correct in his estimates,
, of course the vote of the State will be as
- close as it was in the Presidential election
of last year, and Fitz Lee's majority will
not exceed 6,000."
rBut Maj. Glass, the editor, referred
to, does not accept this calculation as
correct' He thinks the people are
I fully": aroused and that a sweeping
i' victory awaits the Democrats in No
vember. He places Lee's majority at
20,000. All . the speculations as' to
J the result; we have noticed in Demo
cratic ; papers' are favorable, and if
;; yictory does' not crown the efforts of
'j the Democrats there will be, wide
spread - disappointment throughout
. Virginia, . . .
- It is ta be noticed that there is a
- change in. the reports. Two weeks
ago Democratic papers were saying
'; that Mahone had no hopes of elect?
ing the State ticket and was fighting
' merely., to capture the Legislature
. r and secure his own election and a
fai office for ' Wise. But now the
- most sagacious of Virginia editors
- Bays that Mahone has some hope of
" success. We are well satisfied in
our own mind that Virginia is safe
" and that Gen. Lee will be elected by
some 10,000 majority. Mahone is
4 spending his money with a free hand
and he has other help in the .same
i v way. " -; '

AND
V f REPUBLICAN ORGANS.
" Attorney, General Garland is still
the victim of - unmanly and mean
". : thrusts at the hands of Republican
editors. The Philadelphia Press is

- opinion is really of no value. It is

and hence the truth is' lost sight of

has had? nothing to dwith ; thef

owns considerable stook in - the Pan
Electric Company, and hence the at
tempt to make it appear that he con- .
ntved at a suit against the Bell Com
pany because it would be to his per
sonal advantage. ' : ; ?
Mr. John Goode, Solicitor, General,
is alone responsible for the action bf
the Department of Justice. Mr.
Garland not only did not have any-
thing whatever to do with the bring
ing of jthe suit but did not know
that it I was to be brought. But says
the Philadelphia American, another
Republican organ that can never find
anything to approve in a Democratic
Administration, but condemns aijd
fault-finds: '
"Jt may be that it was thought con
venient to coTer. Mr. Garland's con
nection by a second evasion, not unlike
the firsL. aThere may have been no more
than an understanding that the suit would
be brought if an. application were made,
andthatithadbetter . be made when Mr.
Garland was taking his vacation. In a
word, the defenee does not meet the case.
Mr. Garland owes to the public, and espe
cially to those who have thought well of
himin which number we wish, to be reckoned-
a much- ampler and more explicit
denial thah this, if he can make one."
Mr. Garland emphatically denies
that he has had anything whatever
to do with the suit, and he says
squarely that he had no knowledge
that it was to be brought until he
learned of-the fact by telegraph.
Among those who know him this
will be sufficient. He has character,
and his statement will be believed
among all honorable men of all par
ties. UNFORTUNATE LEGISLATION.
. The legislation in the States ought
to be so judiciously and wisely done
as to foster enterprises and invite
capital. There has been a decided
tendency in some of the States by re
pressive and discriminating laws to
make capital timid or to exclude it
altogether. It is not believed that
this was the intention, but the result
was the same as if it was. Legisla
tion needs to be cautious lest on the
one hand it is hostile to the capital
ists, and on the other hand lest it
fail to. protect the interests of the
people. In some of the States south
of us capital has been driven out by
unfriendly legislation. This is un
fortunate, for it not only injures the
prospects of States indulging such
legislative experiments, but it also
hurts their neighbors and gives
southern Jaw-makers generally a
name for hostility to foreign capital,
to which they are not entitled and
do not covet.
The Baltimore Manufacturer Re
cord has' this to say of this unfriendly
egislation:
"The South is greatly in need of capital
to develop her vast resources, build new
railroadsand increase her banking capital,
and yet, instead of offering every possible
inducement to attract the favorable con
sideration of capitalists, her legislators, or
at least many of , them, apparently make it
their special study to see what they can do
to make capitalists suspicious of the South.
Certainly there can be no excuse for legis
lation of this character. It only serves to
hinder the progress of the whole South.and
to keep away millions ox dollars that under
other circumstances would be invested in
that section . These laws not only do harm
to the State which makes them, but to the
whole South, as they cause capitalists and
business men generally to feel a degree of
uncertainty regarding what might be done
next in the way of hostile legislgtion that
prevents many investments which would
otherwise be made."
If the legislation of the States was
more judicious than it is there would
be more money brought to the South
to be lent on real .estate security;
It is strange that when so many tens
of millions of dollars are unemployed
in the North that none of it finds its
way into the South. It can be easily
lent at 5 or 6 per cent with proper se-;
curity, while it is going a begging at
It and 2 per cent in New York. How;
much the laws have to do with keep-'
ing the money out of North Carolina
we can not say, but it is certain that
the men who will lend money to far
mers at 6 per cent will be doing them;
a great kindness.
We are sceptical as to the reported
probable alliance between Parnell
and the Liberals. As we said yes--terday
such ? an , alliance would be
natural in the light of English his
tory. The Tories have always been
the enemies of Ireland, whereas all
that , is beneficent "and kindly and
progressive in English treatment of
Ireland has come from Whig or Lib
eral inspiration, and L advocacy. Of
all the British leaders, past and pres
ent, Mr. Gladstone has shown him
self the truest friend of Ireland. So
in that sense it would be natural for
the Hpmei Rulers and. Liberals to
unite as against the Tories. The
New York ; limes,; som'ethirigpf

He is profoundly, amazed rat the at
tack upon the Governor. .t , He says
there is bitter personal feeling be-

former is perfectly loyal to his party.
He says Cameron condemns the plan
of party organization that gives Ma-
none uniimueo power Bauiumau

this Cameron is sustained by; a, great'

WILIalAM GILMORE SIMMS.
Hie Last Days -The Closing Seene.
From Paul H. Hayne's "Anti-Bellum
Charleston," in Southern Bivouac.
I could not but remark how aged
he had become. Five years of "hope
deferred" and of final despairing ag
ony for his whole heart had been
with the South in her struggle for
self-government and for constitution
al right against the "banded world"
-had done the work of . half a life
time. His hair . was thinned and
white, his, beard grizzled, his fine
forehead scored with wrinkles, and
over the once fiery eyes a film rested
as of unshed tears!
Simms, utterly impoverished and
laboring only for the sake of his
children, took a contract in New
York in the autumn of 1868, for
three romances, all to be worked at
the same time!
. "I got," he says, "advances of
money on each of these books, and
the sense of obligation pressing upon
me .Iwent rigidly- to work, concen
trating myself at the desk from the
20th of October 1868, to the 1st of
July, 1869, nearly nine months,with
out walking a mile in a. week, riding
but twice, and absent from work but
half a day on each of these occasions!
The consequence was, I finished two
bf these boosts, but broke downnpon
the third, having written during that
period three thousand pages of man
uscript." ,7 . 7
- Such a tour de force at his age and
in his condition of health really
killed him. . Eleven months of con
tinued physical suffering followed.
Indigestion in its worst form, dys
pepsia, catarrh, and finally dysentery,
combined! to sap his already . 'en-'
feebled frame. J
His patience and consideration for
others were beautiful to see. All
the old dominance of manner and"
hardness of tone had 1 disappeared.
All skepticism-and doubt also, in
reference to religious matters, seem
to have melted forever in the glory
of dawningimmortality. , His bosom
friend, the Rev James Miles (author
of that remarkable work, "Philoso
phic Theology") stood by his death
bed and received his faltering but
fervent confession of faith in the
mercy of .the atoning Chiist.

plain that they are ostracised. . We
understand that Mr. Wise is eloquent
on this point, and if half we hear is
correct the men who have proved
themselves political Ishmaelites on
this theme grow lachrimose when
they discuss it. But what right
have they to complain? . They have
allied themselves to the worst ele
ments, white and black, fn the Com
monwealth. They have; . filled the
air with ribald abuse of the best and
purest men among us.' They have
been violently aggressive from the
beginning of their career, " and have
ridden rough shod over every senti
ment of decency, and every right of
the citizen which they could trample
down. They have inflamed negroes
against whites; and ' have solemnly
charged the Democracy of the State
with being "murderers and assas
sins." In their political walk and
conversation they are not men to ex
cite affection, command confidence,
or win . respect; and-they havfe re
ceived just what they have earned.
But the outcry which they make Is
entirely in keeping with their charao
ters. They expect to denonnce the
Democracy, to wrong individuals, to
outrage public sensibility, and then
to be received as if they were equal
111 morals and delicacy, and patriot
ism with the men' who have been
true to the fame and interests of
Virginia through good and ill re
port 1 They have planted
themselves, through Gen. f Mahone
and Mr. Wise on the , eround that
service in the Confederate army dis-
quaunea men ior service in me army
or navy; and they have, through Mr.
Wise, called for the repeal of. the
Thnrman amendment, which,' for the
first time, since the war, gave South
ern white men a fair show before
juries in Federal Courts.
They have ruled us by a legislative
caucus uuder the control of one man.
They have attempted to give us the
infamous Commissioners Bill; and,
in short have attacked us in our per
sonal and in our public rights. All
this has been done in a vindictive
temper. Friends were to he reward
ed and enemies punished; and the
State was deluged with a torrent of
abuse of all who dare oppose the one
man power.
After offenses, of which we have
barely given a hint, the authors of
the iniquities we have mentioned
complain of the narrow and prescrip
tive spirit of the white Democrats of
Virginia; and do so with as much
propriety as a burglar would display
if he complained that the man whose
house he attempted and in part
robbed should decline his association.

these people. We simply let them
alone.
