General VIM. MA one

The following biographical sketch
of Gen. VIM, Malone who if he lives
will represent the State of Virginia
in the u. S. Senate for the six years
beginning March 4, 1881, will be
found interesting
The "extraordinary little man." as
he has been called, was born in
Southampton, Va, in 1927, and, af
ter graduating at the Virginia Mill
tary Institute in lS47, devoted him
self to civil engineering. He was the
conductor before the war, on the
Norfold and Petersburg railroad. He
embarked in the secession at the
very start, and took part in the cap
ture of the Norfolk Navy Yard ON
April q, 1861. He raised and com
msnded the 9th Virginia Regiment,
and at its head participated in most
of the battles of the Peninsula cam
paign, those of the Rappahannock,
and those around Petersburg. In
March, 1864, he became a Brigadier
General, and in August of the same
year q Major General. He suisse
quently commanded a division Of
Hills corps, and at the time of Lee 3
surrender was in command at Der
muda Hundred. He figured promi-
nently in many Of the most terrible
episodes of the war, as at the blow
ing up the fort before Petersburg,
where he led the way into the hollow
crater to redeem the rebel line. 1t is
said, however, that he never carried
a sword or pistol during the whole
war, and went at the head of his
troops with nothing in his pockets
and nothing in his hands. He was
too weak TO WELD a sword had he
possessed one, and he always forgot
the pistol. After the war, he return
ed to the railroad business, and WAS
prominently identified with the de
velopment of the Atlantic, Mississip-
pi and Ohio line, through which he
sought to divert all the trade of the
South from other channels to Chesa-
peake Bay and thence North. OF
this company he became President,
and received $4,000 a year in that
capacity until the concern went into
the hands of receiver two or three
years ago.
Although General Malone will owe
his election to combination of Re
adjusters and Republicans he will in
all probability act in the Senate on
all political questions with the Dem
ocrats.

The Curse Of Dogs In. West Wiz.
gfnIn.

Ertrac, from the Proceedings Of the ParkersbcSs
Wool Growers Associstion.l
Mr. Hopkins stated that the object
Of the meeting was TO formulate some
schemes by which sheep breeders
and wool growers can be protected
in their pursuits. And he dwelt
upon the damages that every year re-
suits to sheep from the ravagss Of
dogs.
Mr.. Hudson thought the educa-
ton Of public sentiment was the
best means of reaching the desired
end
Col. Beall stated that be was &C
quainted with several citizens of
Washington county, Pa, who had
sold their farms, and intended to
move to West Virginia and engage
in sheep husbandry; but upon in
quiry they learned of the fact that
there was no protection against the
dogs, and they went west. And 80.
in the speakers opinion would it
continue to be,until there we're great
er inducements offered to persons
who desired to engage in wool grow

BARBOUR'S DISGRACE.
AL. Haddlx Probably Fatally Shot
by the Red Men.

Grafton SentinelI
The Sentinel has heretofore pub
lished the fact that there is a regu-
lar Red Mems organization up in that
portion of Barbour county which
borders on Taylor and Preston coun-
ties, calling themselves the Red Men.
Some of their exploits were recently
published in these columns, among
which were the taking Of one or two
parties out of their beds at night and
administering to them severe fog
ging with hickory witbes. The
crimes committed by the objects of
the Red Mems wrath are generally
of kind that the law fails to pan
ish, and they conclude to take JUS
tce in their own hands. To say the
least of it, this is a sorry state of af-
fairs, and we think serious retiec-
tion on those whose duty II is to ex-s
ecute the laws; for there is law on
the statute books to punish every
crime known against society. And
now later and far more terrible act
in this disgraceful drama is TO be re-
corded. Up in that section called
the Narrows, some 8 miles above.

the name of Minor. A man by the
name of AL. Haddix has been living
with this woman in an illegal way
for some time. The Red Men noti-
fed Haddix that unless he married
the woman they would "pAy him
visit" which meant Cuisines"
TIaldix disregarded the s'notice' and
continued to keep the woman's com
pany, when last Thursday night OF
very early on Friday morning the
Red Men (about dozen in number)
with red masks over their faces, went
to Mrs. Minors house to take Had

and shot at the leader, the ball pass
ing uncomfortably near his head.
The Regulators at once returned the
fire. and Haddix fell with bullet in
his head just over the right eye. DIR.

whole duty does any one suppose that
there would be any necessity for such
an organization as this, called the

A MONUMENT TO ADAM.
Concentrating Some Of the Ad-
vantages of Eden Over the
World of To-day.

Whitehall Times.l
Adam was the first man--if he had
been q shoemaker he would have
been the last man.
lie was placed in the Garden of
Eden, and was himself the guardian
OF Eden. He consequently had no
partner to order him up mornings,
and he therefore played 1t alone.
All the clothes he had for = long
time was the close of day, while the
mantle of night was his bedclothes.
He had dominion over the fish of
the sea, the birds of the air, and he
also had hoeminion over the earth.
He was finally furnished with a
woman of A-rb-ia, who was sent to
Eden for Adams Express Company,
She was bone of his beauin', and if
she had been called Nancy she would
have been his bone-Nancy.
She was pretty good cook, for
she soon cooked up trouble for Adj
am and got him into hot water.
When Adam went down to the OF
lCt ulti HinSs Eve always WtHb W Hti
household duties, but she was for
tunate woman in one respect. She
had no washings to do on Mondays
Adam was never afflicted by being
obliged to eat mush and milk from
the clock shelf
Eve never called him back and told
him to send home some soap or starch
at once, nor did it cost Adam five
shillings week for clothes pins, for
the beautiful smile that Mr.. and Mrs.
Adam always wore could be licked
clean with the tip ends of their
tongues.
But they were not happy couple,
for the Fourth of July was unknown
in Eden.
They never listened to the bang Of
the cannon, the gun or the firecrack
ers, but Eve used to bang up her
hair quite often.

We clip the following from the
Baltimore Sun. The outlaw organi-
cation in West Virginia known as
the Red Men some time ago evadcd
Tyler county. Five men, masked
and armed, entered the store Of W.
j. Umpleby, one mile back from the
Ohio river, near Matamoras. Fell
ing Umbleby to the or,they robbed
the store of $500 in cash. Umplehy
remained unconscious, and they,
thinking him dead, set fire to the
building and rode Off The fire was
discovered in time to save Umpleby' S
life, but the store and contents, val
ued at $4,000, were consumed. A
posse of farmers in the neighbor-
hood at once started in pursuit, but
no arrests have yet been made.

Adjust and Wise Measure.

Washington Postl
Senator Davis, of West Virginia,
has bill pending in the Senate
which proposes the repeal of all laws
making permanent appropriations,
except those providing for the sink
ing fund, for the regular payment of
interest on the public debt and the
Pacific railroad bonds. The propo-
sition is emincntly just and practic-
al, and the bill should become law.
With the exception named, relating
to matters that are unalterably fixed
and for which the faith Of the nation
is pledged, there is no need Of any
permanent appropriations. If this
is a government by the people and
for the people, the representatives or
proxies Of the sovereign voters should
decide every year just how much
money should be expended and for
what purposes, 1t was the intention
of the trainers of the government to
put the national purse under the i'm
mediate control Of the people. For
WIS itaSoh tiNN NtNit'Nl, III Vui iuu-
damentsl law, that all bills for rails
ing revenue and all appropriation
bills should originate in the House.
No student of English history is ig-
norant Of the reasons for providing
such custody for the public purse.
1t had been found necessary for the
prosecution Of liberty in the mother
country to clothe the Commons with
this great power, this regulator of
the mechanism of.government, this
check Of tyranny. just so far as
we have strayed from this great prin-
ciple we have gone in the wrong di-
rection. 1t is time to get back, time
for Congress to take and use all the
powers which belong to it, time for
the Executive department to be
brought back to the strict construc-
ton of the Constitution The pas
sage of Mr.. Davis bill will be long
