How is ii &?

If the Mahonites do not hold
their State Convention until July
9TH, (the time advertised in Ma
homes call,) how could they as
Democrats, if they are such, be
represented at the Cincinnati Dem
ocratic National Convention which
is held in June ?
If they do not want to be repre-
scented at Cincinnati, or a0iLI not be,
why do they try to prevent Demo
Gratis who are Read justers from par
ticipating in Democratic primary
meetings?
Does the fact OF Democratic
becoming a RcadjuSter in State pol
tiles make him less Democrat {?
If Readjuster, who has always
been Democrat, goes into Dem
ocratic primary, does he become
any less a Readjuster
In short. if a man is a Demo
crat should he not go into Dem
ocratic primary election, and if he
is honest and true. and a Democrat
from principle, should he not do 50
despite the orders and menaces OF
Malone & Co, ?
Malone is the central figure who
commands the whole squad of pOlit-
ical parricidcs, and a feeble imita-
tor of the role of John Kelley in
New York pol!tlcs-onc of the rule
or ruin sort.
We think that Virginia Demo-
Gratis understand their true relation
to their party in a National contest
without regard to Malone and his

e The County Meeting.

The meeting to select delegates to
the Richmond Convention was well at
tended on last Monday: The proceed
ings were harmonious and everything
gives promise that Shenandoah will in
November give one Of her old time
Democratic majorities. After the adj
journment of the meeting Capt. Riddle
berger made speech Of about 2 hours
length, presenting the Readjuster side
of State politics. Judge Allen made a
few remarks IN response to questions
and a ca II from the audience, and the
meeting adjourned with three cheers
for the National Democratic Conven-
ton. We were pleased to hear so
many expressions upon the part of the
people, in favor Of the candidate of the
Democratic party. Many of our citi-
zens who haYe been active Rc-AGius-
tiers, declare that IN fayoring the re-
adjustment OF the State debt, they
were in no way opposed to the Nation
al Democratic party, and that they in-
tend to support the nominee Of the
CINCINNATI Convention. In State poli-
tics, we can readily see, how men may
differ from both parties, but IN the
great contest, now beginning there are
but two sides. The next President will
be either q Democrat or Republican,
They are the prominent parties OF the
country. TIE Democratic party is to-
day in the majority, but eve have a
party opposed to US that will make The
most vigorous efforts to defeat u.s.
We must fight the battle now. If we
are not Democrats, let us declare what
we are and fight for the party to which
we desire to attach ourselves. There
is really no independent ground in Vir-
glnia. The success of the Independent
ticket is the defeat of the Democratic
party in Virglnia,-a blow from which
the party would not soon recover
From the demonstration and express
sions on Monday, we are assured that
our people want no half way, mixed or
independent ticket. They will not be
coaxed or driven from their old party
alliances. The people Of Shenandoah
will give the independent ticket a very
light vote. The only hope Of that
ticket IN receiving aid from the Re-
publican party. If they can succeed in
getting the Republicans to withdraw
their regular ticket and support the in
dependent ticket, the contest will be
close and bitter, but it will not be dif-
icult to tell upon which side the voters
of Shenandoah will stand.

A Man IN A TREE.-A curious
discovery was recently made by
some Syrian wood cutters, who
where telling an ancient decayed
oak in the forest of Drommling
The tree was hollow, and as it fell
it disclosed the skeleton of a man
in excellent preservation, having
by his side powder horn, porce-

Riot i'm OhiO-TrOOps Called
~ For.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 8.-Gov-
ernor Foster to-day received a tele-
gram from Sheriff Coulter, of
Wayne county, asking for troops
to keep down a riot, which had
been threatened by nearly five hun
dred miners, in case negroes en-
ployed in the mines were not dis
charged. The Governor has author
lied the use of troops.
Col. Thomos, of Akron, has been
ordered to hold his regiment Of mi
litia in readiness to march to
Wayne county. A company of
militia at Wooster started tonight
for Silver Creek mine, where troub
lie exists, and the Massilon compa-
ny is under orders.
The immediate cause ofthe troub-
lie IS that the miners went out some
time ago on refusal of the proprie-
tors to give So cents per ton. On
Thursday night about midnight, the
proprietors of the Silver Creek
Mining Company brought to their
mine about two hundred colored
miners from Virginia, and sent
them in the mines at IS cents per
ton. Anticipating trouble, they
had force of carpenters build a
high fence around the mouth of the
mine, and yesterday had a force of
twenty-five special constables, under
charge Of Sheriff Coulter, to pro-
tect the colored miners. The white
miners held a meeting and, it is
said, voted to drive the coloTed
miners away. To-day they stoned
he barricade around the mines and
lurt one Of the constables, An at
ack is expected tomorrow.
A riot at the Silver Creek coal
mines, in Wayne county, Ohio, Sat
lrday, necessitated the calling out
# State troops. Two companies
to the scene, Gov. Foster
emained in his Office nearly all
night to be in readiness
o order more troops forward if nee
ssary, Yesterday all was quiet
nd it was believed that the force
N the ground was sufficient to pre-
'ent riot and bloodshed.

They want a man of noble and pa

height of his great mission, at the

shall hence forth cease to run the
partisan pot-houses. The over
order Of political try on either side
may be slow to apprehend this SEN

able to recognize and take adyan-

There is one obvious tact con-
nected with the Republican nomi-
nation which has not been given
the consideration which it ought to
have. Grant is the second choice OF
all his competitors. There is not
one of the other candidates who
would not rather nave Grant to
reign over them than any other ri
val. The mills OF the Republican
literary bureaus grind out personal
assaults on everybody but Grant.
They draw it mild on the "old COM
mander," Not satisfied with this,
the candidates have begun to vie
with each other in admiration of
Grant as a man and a statesman.
In so public a place as the Senate
Chamber, Blaine goes out of his
way to indorse Grants administra-
tion. Conkling, Edmunds and
Washburne declare that they don't
want to be nominated if Grant will
take the jot-which means that
they think he can't get it, and each
one hopes to fall heir to HE strength.
None OF the Republican candidates
seriously object to the third term.
What they object to is being
crowded to the rear. Grant can
command their individual support
in an emergency. Whether he can
pull their friends and partlsans in
too is another question which the
election would settle. The point
that Grant is the first choice of the
"machine" and the second choice
of all the side showmen. This
ought to help him very much at
