The convention of delegates, white and
black, that assembled in Richmond. yes
terday, is but the thin edge of a wedge
whose entrance is of little matter if
not followed by the butt end. The ques-
ton Of whether that will follow is one that
causes much anxiety among those now
assembled, and one that will cause them
more before it is settled. Unless Gen.
Mahone's followers Can induce the Repub-
licans of Virginia to follow them, the as
sembly at Richmond, yesterday, was an
empty farce. The real convention is yet
to come and will be held in private eau
cuses in which Malone Republicans will
endeavor to convince Virginia National
Republicans that it is to their interest to
join in an alliance, the spirit and intent
of which will be to get possession of the
state even if they sacrifice their party in
other states. The news from these eau
cuses will be heard from Washington and
not from Richmond.
In the meantime the Richmond Conven-
ton will try to find standing room on its
platform for Republicans, and perhaps on
it's ticket for one of them. It will be wise
to do this, for in the general disruption of
the National Republican party now going
on. the patriots of that org anization will
naturally be looking around for something
that they can call their own and a fair
share of the spoils of state are not to be
despised by homeless politicians shut off
from the national crib.
Since writing the above the news from
Richmond indicates that the struggle be-
tween Cameron and Massey for the nomi-
nation is exceedingly bitter and the prob
abilities are that a compromise will have
to be made, on Riddleberger or, perhaps,
Malone himself. The latest telegram
from that city on Wednesday night, gave
the opinion that the ticket would be Cam
eron or Riddleberger for Governor; John
F. Lewis (Rep.) for 1t. Governor; and
Frank Blair for Attorney General.
A great deal of discussion and contra
dictory statements are going on over the
question whether Malone will have the
support of Garfield in the coming cam
paign. The following telegram would
seem to answer that conclusively:
ssALBANY, June l.-Gen. Malone, Rich
mond, Va: Your every effort for the true
advance of the South and to make cleo
tions real and fair has my whole heart,
and deserves the cooperation of Republi-
cans everywhere.
Roscoe CONKlING."

Malone and Co,

The New York Times scents danger
and dishonor in the purchase of Malone.
1t says:
Gen. Malone has made his fight in his
state professedly on the issue Of repudia-
ton. If his present cooperation with the
Republicans involves the use of patron
age in Virginia to promote that doctrine
it will be very dearly bought. The party
cannot sustain the public faith in the ma
ton and nurse reputation in State.
Such compromises are far-reaching in
their influence, and wherever it reaches
that influence is vicious and unwhole
some.
Unless we are much mistaken in the
character of the people of Virginia, says
the Pittsburgh Post, who have very
strong and exacting sort of State pride,
the treachery of Malone will kill the re-
pudiating movement in that State. The
financial dishonor he advocated is very
strongly allied in morals to the sale of his
vote to the Republicans of the Senate
The coincidence is suggestive.
The Republicans make great mistake
in the temper of the people of the South
when they assume that the corruption Of
some Southern leader, by downright pur
chase to promote their political schemes
carries with it any considerable number
of the Southern people. The contrary il
the effect. 1t intensifies and solidifies
the opposition. That has been the ex-
perience since the war. We need only
refer to the cases of Mosby, Longstreet
Key, Akerman, Settle, and many Others
who followed them.
Nor is this suspicion of sudden politi
cal conversion confined to the South. II
may be accepted, we think as a settled
principle in the drift of American poll.
tics, that the masses of both parties re-
gard with distrust any sudden change OF
front by their political leaders. A revo
luton to be effective must commence at
the bottom and work upwards We could
illustrate this by many instances of change
by public men, of great ability and un-
questioned probity, of whom there was
never cast the suspicion of sordid motive.
They carried with them few followers
This was especially conspicuous in the

with the best and bravest of American
statesmen, how much stronger will it be
in a case where every attendant circum
stance points to downright and undenia-
BILE corruption, as in the treachery o1
Malone.
Mahones treason will solidify and
strengthen the conservative party in Vir-
ginia. 1t also imposes ON the repupub
licans the responsibility for legislation,i lin
both branches of Congress, with pre-
carious and doubtful majority, which in
one branch rests one admitted bribery.
The Democrats,we suppose in difference
to the Senateotficials and snug places on
committees, were bound to make "show
of fght"fo the organization. The result
is satisfactory, and it is not case of soul
grapes either. We prefer the Republi
cans should hold the Senate by one vote,
and that vote Mahones, rather than the
Democrats should purchase responsible
ty on the same condition.

New York, March Pa final dis
position of the Morey letter forgery case
will probably be made tomorrow. The
indictments for criminal libel pending
against Philip, Charles A. Byrne, Louis
+. Post and Joseph Hart will probably
be invalidated by the filing of nolle
prosequi. James OBrien, alias Robert
Lindsay, who pleaded guilty in the Gen
eral Sessions of perjury,in swearing that
he knew the supposititious i. S. Morey,
to whom the forged letter purported to
have been addressed, will be, in all prob
ability, sentenced to the State Prison
for q term between one and five years.
Henry L. Morey, who confessed that he
also committed perjury, swearing that
he knew the imaginary Morey; that he
was Morey's uncle, and that he saw the
forged letter in his possession, has been
held in the House of Detention as a wit
ness for the prosecution. He will, it is
understood, be discharged
