Cameron aud Mahone at Midnight.

We heard a gentleman say that he was in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, last week, and
that while there General William Malone
was there and closeted with Simon Cam
eronl We haven't any idea that Malone
was in Conference with Cameron on the
State debt question, but more likely there
to put Cameron and his party under obliga-
tons that are not to be cancelled until after
the election. Malone and some of his SUI
coordinate commanders may get paid, prin-
cipal and interest but the great mass of re-
adjuster democrats who are expected by
their General to follow his lead into the rad
ical camp will never hear tell of pay day.
Since writing the foregoing, We have found
the following in the Lynchburg Vrginian:
The Philadelphia Times of Thursday, has
dispatch from Harrisburg, the home of old
Simon Cameron, to the following effect:
Last night Gen Malone of Virginia, arrived
In this city from the East and was driven 10 the
residence of General Simon Cameron, where he
held protracted conference with the latter
He reached here ut 1910 p. NJ. and left at A.
Nj. The subject under discussion Is supposed
to have been the political situation in Virginia.
Gen Malone selected night for the visit to es-
cape notice and nothing was known of his Wis
it, except by persons Interested, until to-day"
The head of the Virginia boilers confer
ring, under cover of darkness, and at the
midnight hour, with the old Winnebago
chief, the most disreputable politician in the
country, and the most inveterate enemy the
South ever had The very name of Gamer
on is synonymous with fraud, and all that
is venal and corrupt in politics. And this
bad old man, who has been able to subsidize
Il great State, and buy Legislatures at will,
in so far that it has been said for years
past that he carried Pennsylvania in his
pockets sought out by the man who
wants to play the rOieof dictator in Virginia

I0-Thc figures for 1880 are according to re-
tut rs for J. Il. Jackson.
Ii thus appears that when there were but one
hundred and fOrty-onc woes in convention,
Jetlci son and Berkeley cast thii,y-one votes, or
almost one fourth of tho whole; now that the
total vo,e he's GOT up to one hundlcd and eighty
four Jefferson aud Berkeley cast but Chi, ty-tivc
or les than onc-iitth of the whole. On the
basis of 1876 Hampshire Jefferson and Be'ke-
lev cast fdg-sic woes, while on the basis of 1850
they will hereafter cast but toHy-cigbf the three
counties having lost an aggregate OF rcprcscn-
tation in conventions equal To eight hW,dred de
mOcratic votes In other partS OF tie S,ate
there has been steady gain. In the last con-
ventun, Judge Hoes majority was less han
six woes. 80 ,hat the eight woes lost in This
end of the district, in a close contest, would
generally be Suiliccut TO defeat the candidate
of our choice. Under these circumstances, |
feel justified in making personal appeal to
every democrat in the county not only 10 go to
the polls on Tuesday next but To see that has
neighbor goes and that no one remains away
We have still time, u the rJte IS brought or, to
run JeffersonS representation NJ to her STAN
dard of 1876, when she cast 1857 votes Tor Ill
den In the conventions the vote for President
is the test of representation. We can easily
give Hancock and Hoge two thousand demo-
c,atic votes, if we try. Enquire who has re-
manned away from the polls, and 60 and see
them, and urge them to attend on Friday next.
Republic; rs also, and especially coloIed men,
are interested in swelling our influence in the
State They can effect nothing 10y vo,ing for
Garfield, since the State has gone by fifteen
thousand against him, and will certainly in
crease that majority on the md of November.
They may greatly aid the county by voting for
Hancock, and thus her influence in the coun-
ellis of the dominant party of the State. At all
events, let every democrat 90 TO the polls

While Garfield, HAYES and all of Hayes )
Cabinet employees have devoted themselves
during this canvas, 10 tramping through the
country making political speeches in behalf
of the republican cause, General Hancock
has quietly remained at home on Governor
Island and attended to the business of his
office, consistently refusing to make an exhi-
bition of himself before the people or to neg
lect his duties There could be no stronger
contrast between the two candidates and the
two parties than is shown by this fact.

Some of the Republican newspapers OF
this State have heard all about the elections
in Indiana and Ohio, but areextremely reti-
cent, if not ignorant, concerning the result
in West Virginia. We observed one Repub-
ican paper that, two or three days after the
election, had almost the full returns from
Indiana and Ohio and failed to give the
vote of even a single precinct in the county
where it was locsted. Where ignorance
is bliss It's folly to be wise"

1t is important to have the full democrat
tic vote of the County out on Tuesday. Our
representation in the conventions-State and
District. is based upon the vote, not upon
the majority Our power in convention de-
ponds upon our vote. Let every Democrat
think OF this. This Presidential vote will
be the basis of representation for four years.
And vote at your respective precincts, II
YOU would have your full representation in
future conventions In view of these facts,
every voter should exert himself to secure a
full vote. Every member of the Executive
Committee should be under special Oblisa-
tions to work from now until the sun goes
down on Tuesdays triumph.
The County Executive Committee will
meet in Charlestown to-day, Friday, at halt

The Republican postmaster at Washing
ton city is trying to bridge Garfield over his
Chinese letter perplexity with a postmark.
A Republican newspaperat Washington, in
spired by the said postmaster, says:
"The forged mark was plainly intended
as an imitation of the regular stamp in con-
slant use at the city postoffice Now the
dating stamp on the fac-simile, tho some
what blurred, is lettered as follows;
WASHINGTON,
JAN.
9P. NJ,
1880,
DC.
The dating stamp used in the Washing
ton city postoffice, in January last, and up
to the 18th of April, was the following form;
WASHINGTON,
1880
FEB. 10,
SP NJ
ID. c."
We suppose almost any one who has had
even a limited Washington correspondence
can produce evidence that the statement OF
said paper is untrue. We have in our pos
session envelopes stamped at the Washing
ton postofhce before and since the 18th OF
April. and the arrangement of the letters
and figures correspond with those on the
envelope of Mr.. Garfeld's Chinese letter.
Here they are-fgurcs won't lie

WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON,

Men have been hung on very scant CIR
cumstantial evidence, and the fact has en-
couraged the drowning Garfieldites to 'catch
at straws," and they have Mr.. Garfeld's de-
NAL of his Chinese letter bolstered up with
a postmark, but it is complete failure
won't do. The same sentiments expressed
in the Garfield-Morey Chinese letter have
been repeatedly expressed by Gen. Garfield
in Congress and are they not written in the
chronicles of the House? See Congression-
al Record of January and February 1879.

Gen. Grant, in the stamping speech
which he is delivering, calls all the settlers
in the South from the North carpet baggers.
In this he goes farther than the Southern
people. They do not call men who have
settled in the South, invested their means
in homes, and lands, and enterprises, car
pet-baggers 1t is an opprobous epithet
only accorded to adventures who left
their own country for their country's good, -
and took up their abode in the South only
for so long time as they might thus hold
office or despoil the people of their goods
Gen. Grant evinces extreme ignorance of the
term, or wilfully insults every honest North
ern man who has made the South his home.
The Northern men in our midst ought to
rebuke such ignorance or insolence by vo-
ting for the patriot soldier, Hancock, whom
Gen. Grant so lately attempted to belittle.
