The Radicals in Virginia are talking
about combining with the Readjusters.
In other words. that States electors are
to consist of fve Radicals and sig Read
justers, to be voted for as an iadepen-
dent concern, and in case Grant is the
"bloody. shirt" scare crow candidate, he
is to be the recipient of the eleven votes,
is bnngling arrangement and smells of
'.stratagen, treason and spoils." The
proposition is so rotten and corrupt that
1t will absolutely stink in the nostrils of
every decent Democrat apd Radical in
VirgipiG, and will make every honest
man In the United States bold his nose.

THE MALONE SCHEME.-In speak.
ing of Mahone's scheme of an unpledged
ticket, the Lynchburg Neaos SAYS
lit is device to make the white Re-
adjustsfs vote for Republican candidates
that and nothing more. It is very
doubtful! whether the negroes oap be in
fiuenced to support it, but it is very GER
tain that thousands of honest white Re-
adjusters cannot be. They intend on all
national issues to vote for the Democrat
ic candidates, and if the campaign in
the State is conducted with any degree
of judgment at all it will probably result
and in the election pledged Democratic
electors.

The New York Nation, referring to
the Whitaker Outrage" says:-
"Throughout the length and breadth
of the North no white person makes a
companion of colored man, if he can
avoid it. The CAGES where colored peo-
pie are even treated as social equals &C.
casionally, by invitation and the like,
may be counted on ones fingers, and
have almost always the character of a
moral demonstration. In fact, the
practice of the school faithfully reflects
the practice of American society"
Any one who has travelled widely
through the Northern ststss will recog-
nize the truth of this observation. All
Republicans know it to be true, and
yet they keep up their demand that the
contrary pTactice-which they reject
themselves-shallp prevail in the South
ern States. An apt illustration Of the
hypocritical and intolerant spirit which
is diffased through the Republican par

Another Appeal to the Readjusters.

IA Bona.Fide Readjuster" still
breaches through the Portsmouth Tunes
to his late associates. His last appeal il
as follows:
The cry of the northern Republicans
is that we must have stronger Gov
ernment-that the "wealth" of the
country demands it. This is bold Ian
guage, and the meaning is plain. It
means that an aristocracy of money is
ready to assert its mastery in this coun-
try. Itmeans that the gold-kings Of the
North are ready to shake their sceptre
over the heads Of the people. 1t means
that in America, as on the other side of
the sea, poverty is to become the badge
of degradation.
Men of Virginia! Readjusters of
Virginia! are you ready to walk arm
in-arm to the ballot box with these Re-
puhlicans of the North, who would
thus enslave you?
In the South are to be found the poor,
in the North the rich people of this
country. Here there are many of us
who are struggling for subsistence
there there are many who count their
fortunes by millions of dollars. Is all
our manhood so utterly gone? Is all
our spirit 80 utterly crushed out of US
that at the bidding of the Republican
capitalists of the North we are willing
to put upon our own limbs the gilded
chains they hold out to us? 1 will not
believe it.
The Readjusters of Virginia are the
friends and protectors of the poor; or
they have been deceiving the people.
If they support for the presidency the
candidate Of the Republican party they
put on the livery of the moneved arts
tocracy of the North and acknowledge
themselves no longer the defenders of
the peoples rights, but the servants OF
merciless masters, whose sceptre of gold
will be as rod of iron to us all.
It is every mans right, it is every
mans duty, to make as much money as
he can honestly and justly. And it is
the duty of his Government to protect
him in the possession of his property.
But no man or combination of men, no
political party, has the right to use the
wealth of a country for the oppression
of its poorer people. The Republican
party at the North is clamoring for a
strong government, with General Grant
at the head of it, for the accomplish
ment of this very purpose. Readjusters
of Virginia, can you be made instru-
mental in such tyranny? I will not
believe it. The cause of REIMBURSEMENT
is the peoples cause the cause of Rad
icalism is the cause of the oppressors OF
the people.

BROUGHT TO GRIEF.-Houston Nick
ell, Hezekiah Brown and Alexander
Haynes, three colored individuals Of
Union, Monroe, county, were captured
and lodged in Jail in that place on Sat-
urday night last, charged with having
committed a felony. 1t seems that this
enterprising trio had made raid. on the
night mentioned, upon the premises of
the late Alex. r. Humphreys, near Sec
ond Creek, with two horse wagon. and
succeeded in forcing an entrance into q
corn and oats granary. They succeed
ed in securing about thirty. five bushels
of grain and returned to Union with
their booty, arriving home before day
light. The sequel was, the gentry were
gobbled up and lodged in jail and on
Tuesday were tried and sent on for in
dictment upon charges of burglary. We
learn that the parties confessed the
stealing but denied the burglary. They
are said to belong to band of thieves
who have been common marauders a.
bout Union for some time past, and we
congratulate the people of that section
upon their capture. Green6rier Lnde-
