SHENA NDOA H AND MAHONE.-A
contributor to the Shenandoah Herald
thus expresses himself
Burning indignation almost checks
the utterance of those CT Virginia's sons
who could endeavor to defend their
common mother from the depths of in
fanny whittier her honor has been sunk
by the child she has nurtHred liz her
bosom, and raised to the highest posi-
ton within her gift, only to betray the
interests which he was placed to defend.
Malone, the arbitrator of America is
unmasked and the whitening scorn OF
an outrag ed nation of freemen is direct
ing its searching anathemas at the head
of the men before whom the treason OF
Benedict Arnold pales into insignifi-
canoe.
Malone Of Virginia. was elected by
the conservative vote of the General As
sembly of the State to represent its in
terests in the Senate of the United
States. The bloody shirt party of the
North had succeeded in recapturing the
House of Repres entatives and electing
their president. Malone wrested, from
the hands of the South, the only check
they held against the partisan legisla-
ton of that vindictive party of hate in-
tent upon its political assassination. He
did this by betrayipg the confidence of
his constituents and for his own person
al ends, by his single vote delivering the
Senate to the Republicans

THE WING SEVERE UPON THE Re
ADJUsTERs. Richmond Wing
owned and controlled by Malone, is
very severe upon the Democratic Re
adjusters. Malone has marched into
the Republican camp, and the Rich
mond Wing, in addressing the Read
justers, says:
1.-The course of our great Senator at
Washington has thrilled the popular
heart with admiration and enthusiasm,
and now is most favorable moment to
rally our veterans and enlist recruits"
OF what stuff does the Wing think
Democratic Readjusters are made? Are
they thrilled with admiration" when
a Democrat. whom they have followed,
turns a Democratic Senate over to the
control of the Republican party? Are
they to "eolist recruits" for the Repub-
lican party? They will resent the in
suit.

THE CHANGE OF SITUATION.-We
agree with the Lynchburg Wrginion in
it's expression of belief that "the prus-
poets of the Democratic Conservative
party of Virginia have been vastly inn
proved by the fatal blunder of Senator
Malone. Before that, he was only a
secret foe, and could do greatly more
harm in our ranks than it is possible for
him to do now, that he has gone over to
the enemy. The danger to Washington
and his devoted band of patriots was
greatest when Benedict Arnold was Sc
cretly plotting against them in the
American camp. After he went away
to the enemy, be ceased to be anything
but an object Of aversion. The real dan
ger was then over, for he took no camp
followers with him. And it will be so
in this case. The reasonable schemes
of the Readjuster leader have been
completely uncovered, and no real Dem
ocrat will care for him longer or reckon
him as anything but the open and
avowed enemy of the party that, with
his aid, redeemed Virginia from carpet
bag aud negro domination in 1869. The
lines are drawn now, and the rallying
cry of 1869, Opposition to Radicalism, y
will reunite all of our scattered forces,
and fix old Virginia more firmly than
ever in the Democratic column. We
reiterate it: the prospects for the true
Democracy of the State are wonderfully
improved since William Malone went
over to his "faithful allies"- allies nc
longer, but political brethren"

A DIsTINCTIoN WITH DIFFERENCE.
Following Malone when protested
Democratic Readjuster, and follow ing
Malone since he has acted with the Re

honest Democratic Readjusters, who
have been deceived by him will fol-

The Republican Administration Senator
from Virginia.

The Washington Republican, edited
by Geo. G. Gorham. the special Repub-
lican champion of Malone, calls Ma
hone the administration Senator from
Virginia." aud dares ANY Republican"
ito advise the President to disregard
the counseIs or doubt the information
he may receive from the administration
Senator from Virginia." The RepubH-
can recognizes Malone as the great "Sir
oracle" of the Republican party, and
when she opes his mouth let no dog
bark" The old-line Republicans must
shut up aud take back seats in silence,
whilst Malone will take charge of the
Republican party, and engineer it so as
to make it subserve the purposes of his
own ambition for power, and the graft
fication of his own revenge. The Re
publican party has now got the sold
Man of the Sea" upon its shoulders, and
it will soon regret it, and will be anxious
to get rid of aim, but we hope he will
stick closer to it than brother, and that
he will choke it to death. He will rule

ambitious prototype. "he would rather

The Yorktown Centennial Association,

The opening of the rooms OF the YORK.
town Centennial Association last Thurs
day night at the Exchange Hotel, in
Richmond, gave unmistakable evidence
of the great interest felt by the citizens
of Richmond in the objects of the AS
ISOLATION. The First Virginia regiment,
the Blues and Howitzers and the diff
ferent German organizations marched
to the hotel at about $50 o'clock, where
large concourse of people had assem-
bled. At o'clock the meeting was
called to order in the future office of
the Yorktown Centennial Association,
within and adjoining the office of that
hotel, by Hon. John Goode, president
of the Association. who stated that in
accordance with a provision of the
charter they had obtained, their prin-
cipal office was to be established in the
city of Richmond.
Bishop Keane then offered up an
earnest prayer, after which the mass.
meeting outside was held. It is sup
posed that there were between three
and four thousand persons present.
Upon the Exchange Hotel fiag.staffs,
surmounted by gilded balls, had
been placed, and from the upper part
of the Ballard House, opposite, power
full locomotive headlights had been
placed in such a position that theil
glare lit up the the vicinity of the flag
stats, while another headlight was
PLACED directly over the bridge con-
Meeting the two hotels. Mayor Car

The first speaker was Gov. Holiday
who gave an interesting sketch of The
beginning of the Yorktown centennial
movement, and alluded to the grea
success of the preliminary celebration
last October.
i At the conclusion Of the Governor
remarks, the chorus, directed by Prof
Siegel, sang the 'Star Spangled Ban
ner," Kessnich's band playing the &C
compartment.

Judge Robert W. Hughes repeats the
declaration of his belief that unless the
Solid South is broken up the Democrats
will be likely to succeed in the Presi
Dental election of 1884" He relies up
on the policy of Malone to break the
Solid South and to cave the Repu olican
party from defeat in 1884. He is the
ablest Republican of this State, and yet
persons calling themselves Democrats
and the opponents of the Republican
party, are aiding Malone to do that
which Hughes says is necessary to en-
sure the success of the Republican par
ty. The Republicans recognize the fol-
lowers of Malone as their allies, and
upon them and their policy they rely
for the success of the Republican party

BARGAIN WITH MAHoNE.- The
Washington correspondent of the Dis
patch says that the speech of Mr.. Call
of Florida in the Senate on Saturday
twas highly complimented, and sena-
ators at its conclusion congratulated
him. He declared that if coin of the
United States had been given, the bar
gain would not have been more clearly
defined than it was when General Ma
hone was given the Sergeant-at- Arms
and all of its patronage by the Republi-
cans to aid him in carrying the election
in Virginia next fall and placing in all
the offices of that State Readjusters and
Regulators. He declared that if the
Riddleberger bill were to become a law
in every State in he Union public credit
and faith would be destroyed and fnan-
cial ruin follow. Senator Dawes, of
Massachusetts, had said that be sup
ported Malone, Riddleberger & Co., be.
cause they are in favor of a free and fair
ballot. Now, the laws OF Virginia Sc
cure these, and if the law has been VIC
lated in the past, General Malone, as q
leading Democrat, is responsible for the
violation. He called attention to the
fact that there is no free ballot in Mas.
sachusetts, Rhode Island, and other
northern States, with all their boosted
freedom and civilization.
