The developments in the recent trills of railway conductors in Philadelphia and elsewhere for embezzlemet bring to light a new fentuie in the so-called bus inesa of ticket scalping, and explain very clearly one of the principal reasons for the crusade which is being waged by the railroad c impanies the gen try who-e boast it is that they cau dis count the standard rates of the com panies. There was for a long time an element of mystery in this peculiar Iraf fio, which was partially dispelled when lheuiethortion of the-o alpert, who buys for the intending traveler who falls into 1 his hands a regular ticket by one of the ! longer routes, self* it to h m for a d- 1 , Isr or s> less than it co,l*, collecting 'binusfrom several nf the short lire, composing this route as . rewird for diverting the trvvel*r from more direct line, ar.d jiockatimr a f*ir profit on the i transaction, although the passenger may not be so fortunate, as tho greater length of time cou,umed on the trip, •nd consequent increase in cost ofmeali and sleeping accommodations, may more than cover the saving in the cost of the ticket, and ihe trsvelcr has no conpensation for bis lost time, But this and othr operations which scalper is wnt to consider as '-legiti male," would scarcely explain the m.tg nitude which his profit, ni ist a,*ume to mt nt in him ia the traffic, and these Iste trials furnish the informal <>n n -ce* sary to complete a aolution of the my. tery. The testimony showed that the railway i til ploy es retaioed ihe ticket , collected from passengers and sold them at nom rial rs'es to'.lie scalpers, who re sold them to traveler* at a discount from standard rubs, the companies thus carrying two or molisli this traffic. ' which be, long l>een a misdemeanor in thi* state, and we earnestly ho|>e that the various state will speedily take cognixance of the growing evil and by statute similar to our owo, put thescal per under the ban of the law and com pel railroad companies to redeem for cash from passengers, their unused or partially used tickets. In the mean time the traveler will do well to consi der whether be can conscientionsly aid the scalper or incur the risk of riding on a stolen ticket.—PhUt Prti*. Republicanism in Virginia There will be two delegations from Virginia knocking for admission at the door* of the Chicago National conven lion, each claiming to represent the party and to possess the qualification* for recognition stated in the call of the lb-publican National convention.

They will hold their convention at Richmond on the .iU'h ol April, for the selection of delegate* to Chicago, and, although the Mabone interest will make every conceivable effort to control ita action and capture at least a portion the delegations chosen, there are grow' ing reaaona to believe that the conven tion will be a representative body ; that I it* full representation of 273 member* will be present; that ita delegate* will consist of men inaccessible to Mahone'* j approaches, and that its demand for ! recognition at Chicago will be of ana ture to command resj e t. 33 e are led to this belief from the fact that the regular Republicans of Vir ginia are not groping in the dark with out principle, purpose or leadership but are being coached for the contest by a man who fully understands the situs tion. arid who seldom undertakes a movement without at lc*t a reasonal le chance of success. Mr. Mohone'a delegation, committed to Arthur and Mr. Ueiemiort'* delcga tion pre pledged to Blsine, will meet 1 upon the donratep* of the Republican ' National convention at Chicago, just as . certainly a that the convention is held ! and an important crisis in the political ar.nals of Virginia will there culminate with consequence* in any event more or i le** national in their character.— Phi 'a ' /Your, Woatorn Union Tuxes.

If the historical accurancy of Mr. Btainc'a statements of the chapter* yet to he given to tb public U not more manifest than in the onejust published the forthcoming work will have to be claaae'l with fiction rather than bittory. or consigned to the domain of cam paign literature. There ia not a word of truth in Mr. i'iaine'a statement that Mr. Buchanan prepared an answer to the South Corolina comrniaaionera that was "compromising to the honor of the executive* and periloua to the integrity of the Union," and that "Judge Black took a detidtd and irrcvoc*blt tand igainal the president's deciaion." It la bo b disingenuous and unmanly for Mr. Blaine to make auch vague and general averment* without dating what thoae "fatal conoewtions" were and enabling Mr. Buchanan'* friend* to meet the charge lie shelters himself behind an ill defiend and intangible al legation, which road lie understood to roesn anything which to the prejudice of the reader may be pleaaing. 11* word* certainly auggeat and in*inuate a very erion* charge auch, for example * § that the preaident va* in hia anawer abet tc the principle or right of aeceaaion, or to abandon the public property of the United Slate* to the atate of South Corolina, or to order Major Anderaon back te the unten able for which he bad juat evacuated To uae the language "periloua to the in tegrity of the Union" could lie justified by nothing lew* grave. The insinu.i tion ia aimply a ulander upon a dead atatement, and there ia not one acin tilla of evidence to support it. The whole and sole foundation for tbi* malevolent t.saue of insinuation i* tbi* : When *lie president replied to the audacious demand of South t'aro lina comrniaaionera, he made use ot n ore phraseology which Judge Black' l.i" legal adviacr, thought might be sub j• t to iuiseor."trueiion on the part of the Nu imonuu, and be asksd that it might be modified a* to thoae phrase*, o as to clearly exprea* what the preti dent and the cabinet intended, because there was not the least disagreement be twoen them upon the great vital consti tuiional questions involved. The presi dent handed tl.a draft to Judge Black to be worded unmistakably. This i* the whole story, and Judge Black never told the preaident that be would r< aign or expressed any threat to him. Judge Black was not a man threaten, or Mr. Buchanan to he threatened, what ever partisan cnemiee may aay of tbem. Under crushing difficulties .rod embar rassmenta. surrounded by treason and thwarted by partisan malice in congress the president and hit loyal cabinet were unitedly striving to save the country from iie deadly peril, and they ha/1 no substantia! difference betweco them on any of the great question* of the hour- I have within my reach a letter writ ten by Judge Black to Mr. Buchanan shortly after the close of the administra tioo. offering to write the latter'* bio graphv. It is o ardent in it* out *|>oken admiration of his late chief a course all through the trials and |>erils which they had encountered together, and so commendatory of the wiadom and patriotism of his whole course, that the friend* of Mr. Buchanan would l>e jus tified in disbelieving Mr. Blaine's word if be should even say that the charge had emanated from Judge Black him self, and would be right in consider ing it a cruel libel upon hi* memory. Mr. Blaine baa been pleased to epeek approvingly of President Buchanan's moral and aocial worth.

Four years ago I had a alight shock of palsy, which unnerved me to such an extent that the least excitement would make me shake like the ague. Last May I was induced to try Hop Bitter*. I used one bottle, but did not see any chance: another did ao change my nerves that they are now a* steady a* they ever were. It used to take both hands to write, hut now my good right hand writes this.
