IAN HONEST COUNT IN
VIRGINIA.

The excuse, by which Republicans are
attempting to palliate their coalition with
Senator Mahone-that he and his party
are to give "free ballot and an honest
count" is ridiculous to any one who knows
the history of elections in Virginia. The
friends Of Gen. Malone have been in pos
session of the whole election machinery in
Virginia for about two years-from the
officers at the polls to the Ret urning Board
in the capitol at Richmond. All the coun-
ty judges were friends of Gen. Malone, or
in any event were, up to his going into the
Republican ranks, and they have the ap-
pointment of the officers of elections and
we assume that their appointees are hon.
est and upright citizens. If there is any
dishonest count now, it must be the act
Of the friends Of Senator Malone If there
was any dishonest count before, then Gen.
Malone was as intimate with the methods
of the Democratic party as any man IN
Virginia, and if there were any loose
methods he ought to have known Of them
and exposed them. If Gen. Mahone's
friends contend that there was no honest
count in Virginia until they got possession
of the election machinery then they must
also concede that the first ''honest" vote
exposed the fact that the Readjuster party
which claimed to be large majority in
the State was In reality only about third
as large as either of ths two great political
parties in Virginia.

EXTRAORDINARY DEATH OF A YOUNG
GIRL.-The family of John J. Rail, living
near Keokuk, Iowa, were thrown into in
tense excitement one evening last week at
the sudden death of their only daughter,
Miss Minnie Rail, only sixteen years old.
She was in the parlor with Charles Gray,
to whom she was engaged, and he was
urging her to name the day for their mar
riage. She was coy and bashful, and hes
itated, but finally said she would marry
him in April. In the excitement and Joy
of the moment Mr., Gray threw his arms
around her waist and drew her to him
with quick, passionate embrace. H.
was not conscious of exerting unusual
strength, and does not believe that he did.
Rnt the girl gave a short, sharp scream,
and excIaiming 20! Charley. I'm gone!'
fell dead in his arms. her head resting on
his shoulder. His frantic cries alarmed
the family. who came rushing into the
room to find the pitiful sight of the dead
girl lying pale and napimate in her lovers
arms. Medical aid was summoned, but life
was extinct, and her death is attributed
to heart disease, from which she had long
been sufferer. Naturally frail and deli
cate, Che e4citemen caused by the inter-
view with her lover brought on the attack
that led to Ter premature death, She was
very handsome, a great favOrite in society
circles, and her fate is lamented by all who
knew her Young Gray is almost over
whelmed with grief and horror at the sud-
den wreck of his happiness.

Politics and Politicians.

A meeting of the CONGRATULATIONS
cratic voters OF Fauquier was held at War
renton last Monday, Court day. and the
following plan of adjusting the debt of the
State, was adopted as the sense of Che
meeting:
l. That the peace, prosperity, and pro-
gress of the State of Virginia imperatively
demand full and final adjustment of her
public debt, and that the same should be
accomplished, if possible, by all lawful
means and as speedily as practicable.
2. That in arranging the details of such
adjustment regard should be had to the
resources of the State derived from its
present rate of taxation and according to
the values found by the last assessments.
that starting with the net revenues thus
ascertained proper allowance should BIZ
made for the support Of the State govern
ment. the maintenance of the public
schools, the sinking fund, and the contin-
gent liabilities Of the State, and the bal
ance be devoted to the payment of inter-
est upon the public debt. 2Dd equally to
all classes of it's creditors, after ascertain
ing the true amount thereof.
The meeting also adopted resolutions
prCposing that for the purpose of arriving
at satisfactory result State convention
SHOULD be held in Richmond, on the 18th
OF May, 80 be composed of one delegate Tor
every four hundred votes cast for Han
cock and English, at the November cleo
tion. and the conservatives of the various
cities and counties are requested to take
prompt action III fuftherance of the pro-
posed convention. The conservative con-
vention for the aominationof State tick
ct will not be held until the 4th of August,
and it is probable that the proposed May
convention, if successful, you'd exercise
considerable influence in shaping the ae-
ton of the nominating convention,
