unreasonable to infer that General MALONE
has de,ermiaed 10 out.Herod HERoD In his
efforts to secure the negro vote next year.
He seems determined to detach the negroes
from the Republican party. Here Is what
that southern journal says:
Heretofore we might have Joined our

only against the colored people, but against
the whites who dared TO differ with the
buildoxiog Bourbons."
The same paper charges us with "pre'
judging the election cases" because we
commented the other day upon the mex
cusable declaration Of the United States
District Attorney that he demandedthe
punishment Of the election officers whether
they acted 10 accordance with their BEET
judgment or not. II surprises us greatly
to ind the Wig thus siding with the ere
mics Of the southern people, and urging
them on 10 their unjustlhabie prosecutions
OF our State officials. Not that such a
course will damage The regular Democratic
marty. BY no means. IL will, on the con-
trary, insure the substantial unanimity OF
the white people OF Virginia in the cleo.

TO join him in his war upon the electi
officers, aud his arraignment OF certain
southern people as political Thugs! NO,
sir. We don't believe that one OF the men
we have named will dare to endorse the fol.
lowing. Nay, we don't believe that there is
one Of them that will feel any inclination 10
endorse il. We quote from the Wigs
1--WE have no patience with these Thugs
aud demons, no matter whether they call
themseIye. southerners or Vrgisians. Tbey
are the enemies OF maukiud; and they
can neither be taught by human reason, nor
touched by human sympathy, we say. let
them feel the full weight OF the heavy hand
OF force. They have appealed to force
always do appeal to force or frand-and Dv
force let ibem be disciplined! This Is no
time-this is no country--for free men 10
whine aud fawn at the feet Of the foes OF
freedom and political equality"
Who are these "Thugs and demons
They are either the commissioners OF cleo.
tisn, who are as good men as are TO be found
ID the Commonwealth, or else they are the
candidates who ran for Congress on the
Democratic ticket, or else such meN as
Judge CLoPToN. We can osiy guess who
ere meant to be described bg these terms.
But that does not matter. The party that
goes before the while men OF Virginia on
such a platform win, instead OF polling
thirty thousand white votes, poll net ten
thousand. It will have to rely entirely upon
its faithful .colored allies.
We dsd not name FOWLER above. We
now ask him 10 speak out on this subject.
Little Tennessee has felt the power OF the
Federsl Government to no small extent
heretofore. Us FOWLER In favor OF the pro-
secaiion Of any election officers In Virginia
