"GOLLY, HOW HE HAS SWUNK."-
Since the breaking of the deadlock" in
the Senate, and the defeat or indefinite
postponement of the election of Gorham
and Riddleberger, the influence of Ma
hone has ''grown small by degrees and
beautifully less," having shrunk to
diminutive proportions, reminding
those who heard 1t of the story told by
Senator Vance of the negro who had
caught a large catfish and put it upon
string, after which he walked away,
when another negro in his absence took
off the large cat fish and put in its place
small one. When the owner of the
string of fish returned, he was amazed
to find his large catfish looking so
small, and could not, for some time, con-
vince himself that it was the same. He
soliIoquized as follows:
Eyes. dis is de same place-dis is de
same string-it must be de same cat
fish tut, "Golly, hoV he Is ssUslnk."-
Malone is in the same place, on the Re-
publican side of the Senate, on the same
Readjuster- Republican string; but, "gol-
~, how he has swunk." Like the Irish
corporal, he is progressing back wards
with amazing rapidity.

A Readjuster, In a letter to the Fred
ericksburg Recorder, says the ReadjusS
ers of Virginia would prefer to see the
State government in the hands of the
Republicans rather than zee the Fund
ers get it again.-Abingd0n standard.
Not exactly correct-that expresses
the preference of the Mahoneites, bul
not of the honest readjusters, and it
should be borne in mind that there is q
wide difference between readjusters
proper, who look to the readjustment
of the debt, and the Mahoneites, who
are laboring for the defeat of the Dem
ocratic party, and the success of the
Republican party. The Mahoneitet
will vote the same ticket with the Re,
publicans, W hist the readjusters proper
will vote with the Democratic party.
Malone cannot make Republicans OF
honest Democratic Readjusters.
AS the Abingdon Standard says,
s.there are in the Readjuster party men
who are just as honest in their belief
and convictions as there are in any
party, and it is these men who are
kicking out of the traces, and refusing
to follow on In the track of destruction
These men have the interest of the dear
old State at heart. They love her and
wish to see her prosper and do well, but
know that by going over to the Radi'
Gals that it is only step backward
Let the people Of Virginia who wish to
see the State debt settled, and see Vir-
ginia what she was in ante belluna days,
rise up in their might and close thu
split in the Democratic ranks, and We
Will yet be great, when the voice of pa
triotic people, like the voice of God,

FIRE IN HINTON, w. Wat half
past three o'clock on last Tuesday morn
ing the "Hinton House." owned by
Capt. w. G. Ridgeway was burned
Fortunately the weather was calm, or
else the whole town would have been
in danger of destruction. By great ex-
ertion, the Wickham House, just across
the street from the Hinton House, was
saved. There was no insurance, and
the loss is $1,000. All of the buildings
attached to the hotel were destroyed, in
Guiding the law Office of MIR. J. w. Mall
colin, the shoe shop of Mr.. Graham, and
the store room of Mcclure & Co., the
last whom sustained loss of not less
than one thousand dollars.

The Philadelphia Times says:

The Philadelphia Times says:
'!The Republican Senator from Vir-
ginia has been made SO small by recent
events at Washington that probably il
won't occur to any one that it is worth
while to dig him out from under the
wreck"
Now, says the Lynchburg Virginian,
if the Democratic Senators would just
give the President to understand that
he must keep his hands off Virginia, il
he wants their support in maintaining
the prerogatives of his Office against
Bosses like Conklingan Malone, they
would only do what the situation de-
mands. They need not solicit patron
age as the price of their support. We
would not have them do that; yet they
might well say that they leave him to
distribute his patronage among the
members of his own party without let
or hindrance; but that the moment he
indicates purpose to give the patron
age of the government to Gen. Mahone,
that it may be employed for his ag.
grandizement. and to carry Virginia fol
reputation, they will make war upon
him and his appointees in the Senate
If they will do this, every honest Re.
publican in the North, and every true
Democrat in the South, will applaud
them. They have done nobly thus far
and being now in position to demand
q recognition of their wishes, in favor
of the appointment of honest men of tht
Republican party to Office, they should
demand that no repudiationist shall be
appointed to Office in Virginia. If they
will do that, William Malone will soon
find bis level.

of Internal Revenue for the Lynchburg

Negroes Endorsing Mahone's Policy.


The policy of Malone meets the APP
proval not only of the negroes of this
State but of the far West, and the Rich
mond Whsg grows jubilant over it. The
Wing says
1.-THE Omaha resolutions are interest
ing, as showing how even the colored
citizens of the far West regard the mag
unanimous and patriotic stand taken In
the Senate by Gen. Malone"
The following is one ofthe resolutions
referred to-
"Resolved. That we believe that the
political success of cOlored Americans
in the Southern States depends. upon
close alliance with the Independent,
movement represented by Hon. VIM.
Malone"
And yet the Wing expects Democra-
tic Readjusters to support the ''indepen-
dent movement represented by Ma
hone'' which is to effect the political
success of the colored Americans in the
Southern States" Is this the kind OF
readjustment that Dem ocratic readjus-
tiers have been expecting to effect
through the party led and controlled by
Malone? We trow not. They car
now see how they have been deceived
and imposed upon by Malone and his
selfish and ambitious, INSCRIPTIONS anc
treecherous coadjutors. The masses
who have been striving for readjust
ment of the debt, and not seeking office
or working for the success of coloret
Americans in the Southern States, i" now
see that the party with which they hav'
acted under Misrepresentation of thu
purpose of its leaders for REIMBURSEMENT
but to effect the success of the coloret
Americans in the Southern States,
which is polite way of expressing ne
gro domination in the South-equiva
lent to the more striking, though les
elegant expression of quitting the bot
tom rail on top" Democratic readjus
tiers cannot be expected to stultify them
selves by voting with party having
such All object in view. Truly, as Ma
hone says, REIMBURSEMENT is no longe
a primary issue.

A GOOD ExAMPLE.-The thrifty

arranging for an exhibition of sheep,
under the auspices of the Berkeley
County Wool Growers Association, to
come off at the fair grounds near Mar.

been offered for sheep in the classes OF
iong-wools. Merinos, and Southdowns,
to which sweepstakes prize will be
added. Several noted f1ocks have al
ready been entered, and very fine ex.
hibition is anticipated. Sheep raising
promises to become an extensive and
productive industry in West Virginia,

proper attention to the improvement Of
