The Readiustin@ Goes On.

General Malone is being indorsed by
great mass-neetings of white Readiuster
Democrats in various counties in Vir-
ginia for his noble course in the Senate
On the 18th the Halifax County conven-
tion of the Readiusters, after nominating
its candidates for county and circuit
clerks, unanimously adopted the follow
ing:
Be It rCsOlrod, That we, the Readjusters of the
County of Halifax, in convention assembled, do
hereby indorse the manly and independent course
of General William Malone in the Senate of the
United States, and have every confidence in his
honesty TO act for the best interest of our whole
people, and in his ability to foster and maintain
the welfare of our State.
In Nottaway County, at a large mass
meeting of the Readiusters, held at Burke
vile, and presided over by Hon. J. NJ.
Morton, mayor of the city, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Be Il resolved, (by the ReadjUstcTS in ass-isoc1
ing dsseRbyedl That we indorse the action of
General William Malone in the United States
Senate
First-Because his action reflects the progressive
and independent views of all true Virginians and
those who constituted him their representative
SecOnd-Because we believe that his action will
rebound to the best interest of orr Commonwealth
and that his action is the entering wedge of SINH
lar sentiment that, if not now, will soon become
the dominant spirit of the entire good people of the
South.
Third-That we deplore the fact that any one
claiming to represent the true interest of our Sec
ton should engage in sectional sterile and parti-
san debate, as such d course is certainly produc-
five of no good but DerniciOuS in effect
Fourth-That We believe General Malone is not
only endeavoriDg to represent, but is faithfully
representing the best interest of Virginia. and that
we believe that his action as heretofore is at pres
ent and will be for the true interest of our State
Several other counties have spoken, and
every issue of the Richmond Wing con-
tains reports of public meetings of Read
juster Democrats, at which the course of
the great Readjuster is commended.
The gong-beating and tin trumpet
blowing of the Bourbon papers in Vir-
ginia have not increased at ALL 1t is the

tried to frighten the white Read
justers for the past two years, but
the white men of Virginia are not
one mass of dumb cattle, to be
driven with black-snake whip in the
hands of few frantic Bourbon editors.
Howl, gentlemen! The world looks on
and wonders if you really expect to stop
the rising tide of national sentiment and
fair dealing at elections, which is about
to swamp the bogus self-styled Democ-
Tacy which Malone whipped when ne
came to the Senate.

The Late Cxar.

Ex-Secretary Fish was an admlrer of
the late Car. He says: of all the European
monarchs he alone stood without wavering by onr
side in civilwar and he has since remained our
stanch and steadfast friend. Those who were in
any way connected with that great struggle win
remember him with gratitude A singular bond
of amity connected the United States with Russia.
In the former country the multitude is supreme;
in the latter, the one. Both systems are extremes.
and extremes always meet 1 cannot help recall
ing the exceptionally pleasant relations we have
always had with Russia. Even though Cataeazy,
the Russian Minister at Washington during Gen.
eral Grants administration became personally of
fensiye, and sent away by the President, these
relations were undisturbed. Indeed, on returning
to Russia, the Minister, believe, was disgraced.
Yes, the Cars death is terrible calamity, and
every honest man viii regret it,

CRurtiuR Might,

It seems that in some parts of the coun-
try acertain night in the week is regarded court
ing night. A manufacturer of Paterson, n. j.,
discovered by some means beyond our guessing
that Wednesday night is courting night, and, as
there is demand for Overwork in the mill, he left
the matter TO one hundred of the girls whether OF
not they would have Wednesday night to them
selves for courting purposes. They went into the
jury room by themselves, and ninety mine of the
girls Immediately decided that they would not take
that night. One girl said she had beau; but did
not care for Wednesday night. The manufacturer
made great mistake. Sunday night is eourting
night in New jersey

Sarcasm.

Yesterday Gilhooly visited fashion
able tonsorial arena on Galveston avenue for the
purpose of getting shaved. The razor was dull
and the barber had been at the Sons of Zion Tenn
peranee meeting the previous night. The re-
suit was that several chips were sliced Off Gil
hOoly's upper lip, and there was an ugly cut made
on his chin.
"Can you give me glass Of water?" said Gil
hooly.
Certainly. sir. Do you feel faint?" said the
barber, as he handed the patient shaving mug
full Of ice water.
No, no." replied Gilhooly; "I just want to find
out If my mouth leaks"

An Aneedote of Nelson.

Lucy Hooper tells in the Philadelphia
Telegraph of how. when Nelson first came to the
country and when everybody still believed hera
saint off as well as on the stage, she once look
ing over a photograph album, and some coxcomb,
intoxicated with her beauty, managed to spread a
note to her in the open book. She skinned its
tender contents and, half turning her head called
to her husband: "My dear, there is some horrid
thing on the leaf of this book do come and brush
it away, please" The writer of the note had
barely time to snatch it away before her husband
did come to the rescue.

The SeutI,ern Frauds.

Secretary Kirkwood takes 4 sensible
view of the contested Southern congressional cleo
tions. He thinks the alleged frauds should be in
vestgated with great care, that noinjustiee may
be done to either party. For remedy, in eases
where it becomes evident that there was either an
unfair election or dishonest count, he suggests
that new election be ordered. This is the remedy
which has already met the approval of many
earnest students Of the Southern problem. In case
the election is like the old, unfair. still an
other can be ordered, and so on until fair one is
secured. In this way the people of the South will
be taught that they must either allow their Con-
gressmen to be elected fairly or else 80 unrepre-

of love as radiant and brilliant STAR" and so
forth. These are beautiful dreams, Ella, and show
that your digestion is not impaired. If you want

He was tall, bony, sallow-complex-

on the tip of his nose. His coat was of pattern
long gone out of fashion, and his pants-a world
too wide for his long shanks-had seen some SER
vice in their time. He sat on the curbstOne in
front of the White House and, shaking his bony
fist in the direction of the Executive, shouted

The GcnfIer Sex.

It is remarkable how poorly the gentler
sex is represented in this country in the literature
ofthe day. Women authors ofdistinction are almost
unknown. We have no one here to compare with
George Eliot, Mrs Oliphent, Mrs. Edwards, or even
Miss Braddon. The women who occupy public
attention as agitators do not rate high authors
In no country are there so many women who at
tempt literature and the lack of ability to achieve
distinction must be due to the educational system
in vogue. Vassar has now been in existence long
enough to have trained some women who in art
or letters would reflect credit on their Alma Mater
But who ever heard of graduate Of Vassar occu-
pying any higher grade than that of teacher ?
Our high schools and academies graduate great
many well-mannered aud apparently accom-
plished young women. The average is excellent;
but women of exceptional ability are rarer in this
than in any other civilized Countrywide Hour.
