The New York Tribune proposes the
following plan for aiding the Secretary
of the Treasury in his silver scheme of
specie payments 'Why should not the
Treasury Department issue chromos ?
The religious weeklies do. 1t is bene-
fcent, parental, and, like the rest of the
currency, connected more or less with
the printing press. Why not, instead
of giving merely five dollars in silver to
every Government creditor who has a
claim of $I00 or upward, make it five
dollars in silver and pair of chromos
at five dollars ?" Some religious week.
lies do, and some do not. An Eastern
stable keeper advertises manure for sale,
and offers to give chrome with every
load. There is no disputing about
tastes.-N 7. Observer
An important fact is brought to light
in dispatch from Washington-namely,
that no executions took place at Santiago
after the Sth inst, and that Burriel
suspended proceedings Immediately
upon receiving the peremptory orders Of
the Madrid Government. This, at any
rate. shows that the Madrid Government
has done all in its power to prevent adj
ditional massacres. 1t also shows that
the home authorities are not so power
less in Cuba as we have been told All
these facts will doubtless be taken into
careful consideration by the United
States Government. and we may now
fairly say that there is less probability
than ever of war, and that sufficient
measures have been taken for the pro-
tectien of our commerce.

THE BOTHERs OF 7 HE CAMPAIGN.

There is every probability Of an animated
contest in the Richmond Convention on the
9Th of August, between the Malone and anti
Malone men. 1t is understood that the little
General favors Kemper for Governor and is
decidedly opposed to Withers, and it is said
will not support the latter gentleman if NOM
mated. The fact is, Malone generally has
his own way in conventions. They know that
If they do not submit to his rule, they will be
ruined. He is a great sohemer, full Of expe-
dieuts, and possesses vim that brooks no OPP
position. He elected Walker in 1869, by
adroitly managing to get a colored man on
the Republican ticket for 1t. Governor. He
will now either have Kemper nominated by
the Conservatives for Governor, or some one
else in sympathy with him, or he will have
nothing to do with the campaign.
The Conservative press seem very nervous
about the introduction of railroad issues into
the canvass. They want to make the ques-
ton of white man against the negro the sole
idea, believing that their chances Of success
will be better. But astute men like Malone
don't look at the matter in that light. They
want toknow what is to be the policy after the
election. The question of liberal legislation
upon railroad charters will enter largely into
the policy of the State, until a Free Railroad
law is enacted. Malone is against this
He don't want any more railroads in Virginia.
He is for stupendous monopoly on the south
side of the James, and free railroad law will
defeat that scheme.
We have been creditably informed that
men will be put up in every county against
candidates who favor free railroad law. 1t
is kind of bush game. From what We have
learned, there is fund in nand to pay the
expenses Of such candidates. The issue will
not be forced before the people, but persons
will be selected who are known to be opposed
to free railroad law, to run against those
who are partial to such a law. Money will
be used to elect such persons. There will be
developments during the coming campo gn,
which will make it, in many counties, very
interesting, and change the issue from Shite
man against the negro, to Tom Scott against
Billy Mahope.
We venture the assertion that many co :
cred voter will be button holed by the eonser-
vative candidates fer his vote before Novem-
Der. The internal negro will not be SO obi
us in close contest, where he has the bal
ance of power White spirits and black will
commingle, and there will be remarkable
determination Of autagonizing political ele.
ments before the election is over. We will
see where the principle of the immaculate
conservative party is then.

It is scarcely necessary for us to say that
the Richmond Dispatch is mistaken when it
says that the "Virginiam has come out for
McMahon" for Governor. We did moi
come out for him. or any one else. We mere.
ly expressed our opinion as to his availabl !
ty. We certainly will support him cordially
if nominated as well as any other good man
that the Lynchburg convention may name.
In this connection it is proper to state that
no one here recognizes the movement in ia
vor of Maj. McMahon as an anti-Hughea
demonstration, further than it is believed by
those prominent in it, that he is stronger
man before the people than Col. Hughes,and
will draw large outside vote
Individually We 1sgard Col. Hughes as
one of the ablest men in the State, and emf
nently qualified to fill any position to which
he may aspire. If we had the making of the
Governor, we do not know who we would
prefer to him, if any man in Virginia, and if
he is the nominee of the Lynchburg Conven-
ton, will give him our earnest support.
