The above was 6oubtless sent by Re-
suf,iicau-oue who knew what he was say
ing. NIs telegrsn and the action OF the
Couyention show two tbings-first, that the
Republicans OF negroes OF the Lynchours
district are willing to vote for FRAZIER Tor
CoHgrcss; aud, secondly, that they are un'
Wiling to vote for HANCOCK. In other
words, HANCOCK Is sound Democrat ano
rsxzlna Is net. They would not touch the
latter n he were in good standing 10 the
Democratic party.
We,have cs.led attention several times 10
the fact that the negroes who are support
ing the MALONE ticket are doing so because
It seems TO afford them the best opportunity
which they have ever bad 10 infilct fatal
blow upon the Democratic party. We have
called vpon the Democratic electors and
canyassers In Virginia to emphasize tbiS
tact, and to draw out an expression Of
opinion on the subject from their negro
auditors. Colonel SKINNER skilfully ban'

ne Inquired Of the negroes. "No,'
"Ne,v "No," was the response. But
they are going to vote for PAUL. Why ?
Because PAUL, like FRAZIER, is recog-
nized by them as an enemy OF the
Democratic party. A good many OF the
more ignorant negroes were lately inclined
towards the policy OF casting their votes for
the MALONE electors; and some Oh them
will do so, no doubt. But at present the
Indications are that most of the negroes viii
content themselves with voting for the MA
home candidates for Congress. They would
rather not vote for a set OF electors who are
pledged to vote for HANCOCK. All the ne
groes are enemies OF the national Demo-
cratic party, and all OF them dislike General
HANCOCK and il they learn that they vote
for HANCOCK in voting for CANERoN, RID

to renounce their purpose OF standing by
the boilers In this election. 1t was no doubt
perception of the danger that they would
desert him which induced General MALONE
in bis letter to Mr.. KoINER to style them the
tfaithful allies" Of bis party. The phrase
has been weapon OF offence IN the hands
OF the Democrats, and has also served TO
open the eyes Of the negroes to the fact that
General MALONE would not acknowledge
that be belonged to their party, nor that
they belonged TO bis, but treated with them
and regarded them as "alles."
If the negroes in every congressional dis
trict would follow the example set by the
Convention In Lynchburg day before yes
teIday, the true men amongst the Malone
ties would begin to have doubts as to
whether they ought to go any further with
their present associates. We trust that the
example set by the chairman OF the Read.

county will be followed By other leaders OF
the boilers in other counties. Every word
and action OF the negroes shows that they re-
gard the regular Democrats as enemies and
the boilers as friends and allies. Why should
