The Mahone Roses.

Mr. Wayne MacVeagh, who was the Attorney General of the United States under President Garfield, has just read himself out of the Republican party. It was easier to do this than it will be for him to obtain admission into any other. In his speech to the Civil-Service Reform Association ( at Philadelphia, ho said the Republicans had only three principles, and he was opposed to them all. One of these principles he characterized as “ the degrading spectacle of Mahoneism in Virginia;” and he condemns the administration of President Arthur for aiding that political movement for the repudiation of the State debt. • Bat who was at the head of the administration when the Republican party was first committed to this policy which Mr. Wayne MacVeagh now so aptly terms the deliberate prostitution of Government powers? Who was President of the United States when a magnificent bouquet of roses was sent from the White House and placed on the desk of Senator Mahone, of Virginia, in token of satisfaction at the first act in fulfillment of the unholy alliance ? Was Chester A. Arthur the man. or was it James A. Garfield ?—New York Sun.
