Do THEY MEAN WHAT THEY SAY?
The Dispatch, in speaking of the &C
ton of the Republicans, in the Lynch
burg Convention, says
ut remains to be seen whether Wick.
ham, Dezendorf, Jorgensen, Yost, and
their Straightout associates mean what
they say. by their declarations in HOl-
combe Hail. They declare that the
fight has just begun. We shall soon
know how sincere they are, and wheth-
er they, too, will bow the neck to the
yoke of the great disorganiZer of their
party. The Democrats are interested
only that the better classes of the Re.
publican party should control the great
masses of negroes which make up its
strength in this State, and that these
ignorant voters should not be used by
bad men to dishonor Virginia and retard
her progress towards the highest state
of prosperity
AS to the effect upon the canvass of
the coalition of the Opera House faction
with the Readjusters, we said in our is.

in every congressional district in which

the same candidates for Congress. So it

THE VIRGINIA TICKET.-The
straight out Democratic Convention OF
Virginia, which met in Richmond last
week, made the following excellent
nominations For Governor, John w.
Daniel, of Lynchburg; for Lieutenant-
Governor, James Barbour, of Culpeper
for Attorney-General, Philip W. Nc
Kinney, of Prince Edward. This is a
magnetic ticket. The Convention was
composed of the best men in the State,
and the nominations were made by &C
clamation. The names haye been re-
ceived through out the State with IN
bounded enthusiasm by the people,
The name of John w. Daniel is tower
of strength. The people love him. He
is one of the most polished orators of the
age and q DICTATOR of great strength and
power. The other gentlemen on the
ticket are men of National reputation,
and will electrify the people from one
end Of the Common wealth to the other
Their nominations have carried fear and
dismay into the Malone mongrel ranks
and the Republican forces in the State
are now worse than demoralized. The
Democrats go into the contest with an
honest platform and a ticket that is sim
ply superb reenbrier ". Va.) Lnde-

MAI. JOHN w. DANIEL the
Winter of 1854 Hayes Louisiana bri
gade presented to him, as token Of
their admiration, pair of silver spurs
which cost So, 200 in the currency of the
Confederaoy. When he was badly
wounded in the thigh in the battle OF
the Wilderness, the foot of his shattered
limb lay upon his breast as he fell, when
with mis- own hands he unbuckled one
of those spurs and handed to a friend
who had taken off the other, telling
him to take care, of them. Expecting
to fall into the hands of the enemy he
was unwilling for them to capture his
spurs, and they are still in his posses
sion. He also took from his haversack
the Confederate countersign and gave
it to the same friend, lest it might fall
into the hands of the enemy. John
w. Daniel is a comparatively young
man, but no man has a better war re-
cord, and no citizen of Virginia has
won more enviable fame.-Charlottes

THE MAHONE PARTY.-A cOrrespOl

THE MAHoNE PARTY.-A correspon
dent of the n. Y. Sun writing from
Lynchburg, on the 9th inst. says
1.-THE Malone movement, both in his
own and the Republican party, repre-
sents the sudden, spasmOdic reduction
of the chaotic, the lawless, the ignorant,
the dishonest. the supremely selfish ele-
ments in society into something like or
ganization, inspired in all cases by sell
fishness and in many cases by jealousy
and disaffection. Malone himself. i:
hoaored and trusted by the intelligent
elements of Virginia, would not now be
leading such movement. He and
many with him desire to get even, SO
to speak, with leading men for fancied
political Sights. Their followers re-
mind one of the bummers who followed
Sherman's army. Of course there are
honorable exceptions. There are Read
justers who do not sympathize with
these camp followers, men who went
with Malone because of an honest diff
ference of opinion with fellow Demo-
Gratis regarding the debt question. "Ev.
ery one of these men," said a gentle
man to me at the Readjuster Conven-
ton (pointing to the delegates,) "is an
office-seeker; every man in Mahone's
party has an office picked out, either for
himself or some member of his family"
That is the feeling that secretly inspires
many of the Republicans-that is, the
secret of the enthusiasm. It is an as
sault by ignorance and Incapacity upon
the Government Of the State. 1t Is an
attack by Sherman's bnmmers on the
commissary stores, or rather, on the
power that controls these stores. Or.
ganizing such an element as the nucleus
of his party, Malone has gone on with
rush and with some skill. Beginning
with the similar element in the Repub.
lican party, SO much of it as he had no
already drawn upon for the basis of hit
party, Malone and his lieutenants, by
the capture of Lewis, by the antics ir
the United States Senate, has gained 8
respectable Republican support outside
of Virginia, and is making inroads int
the Intelligent and honest element o
the party here"

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

"What have we here asked the californian,
AS the door it opened wide;
He'd frown on his face. and in harmless grace
A knife hung at his side.
A girl 1t was who opened the door
A maiden meek and fair;
Too pale to speak her lily cheek,
And wondrous black her hair.
awe come" the visitor said, ito see
II you'd print these lines 1 wrote;
And, as down she sat on the editors hat,
A pang In his bosom smote.
Now, had it been young man lean,
And thin, and gauntly tall.
The journalist would have spat on his fist,
And run him to the wall.
Yea, then would the editor man have danced
And sung a song of glee,
And, with eyes af1ame. the young mans frame
Would have cut in pieces three.
But here was q case unlike the rest,
And how to dispose of 1t?
He could not with the knife attempt her life
He could only gasp and spit.
Atlast a thought-dear, happy thought
Came prancing through his head:
"Your verse. though good, cannot print
But Ill marry you," he said
She Laughed, while the great, fierce californian
This maiden did embrace;
And when she looked up, through her blusl
she saw
The sweetest smile on his face.
And thus the people were spared the verse,
And good result attained;
The editors gun didn't kill any one,
no oil buS hap

One of the most noticeable things at
the recent dual republican convention
at Lynchburg was the presence thereat,
and the active participation In the pro-
ceedings thereof, of u early all the promi-
nent and leading MahCneites in the
State. These men still profess to be
democrats. but say the republicans have
been reaping the reward of the negro
vote long enough, and that they are now
going to turn that vote to their own ad'
vantage. The poor, ignorant, and pur
chasable negroes couldn't see through
their devices, transparent as they were
and so joyously walked into the trap sci
for them before their own eyes. The
white republicans, however, having The
scales removed from their eyes, refused

The big show of the season was Con,
gresham Jorgensen's grand exhibition
of tissue ballots and "pudden" tickets
at Lynchburg during the convention.
One strange coincidence is that during
the time these ballots and tickets did
service Senator Malone was the head
centre of the party in the district in
which they were used, OF course Gen.
Malone knew nothing about them.
For, you know, he is in favor of ian
honest ballot and fair count. The

Daniel is reported to have said he would
rather the school houses Of the State

LOOK THE OTHER WAY, AND LET

LOOK THE OTHER WAY, AND LET
THE BOYS swIM.-Such is the doctrine
of the Buffalo Express, which says:-
"Half the papers you pick up nova
days have appeals to the authorities of
one sort and another to protect society
from the small boy who persists in "go-
ing in swimming" without clothes on.
Society of course ought to be protected.
but on the other hand the boys ought to
swim. It is their nature so to do. 1t is
odd that it never occurs to society to
look the other way when the boys are
about to swim. That would perfectly
protect society, the boys, the authorities,
and the newspapers. It seems like an
easy thing to do, but in practice, society
or part of it-finds it very hard to do
in fact, quite impossible. And socie
ty has been like that for at least hun
dred years. 1t was little longer than
that ago that solid Pennsylvania
Dutchman came into the presence of
the commander of the British troops
then occupying Philadelphia, and com
planned that the soldiers had habit of
going to swim within sight of his house,
to the great annoyance of his daughters.
The General promised to look into it
The officer sent to examine reported
that the swimming place was SO far
| from the house that the men could not
be seen. So they were allowed to con-
tinue The Dutch father came again to
complain, and when told of the officer's
| report replied, "Ah, but those girls have
| got a spy glass" Let the boys get
health and fun in the water, and let
society focus its spy-glass in some other
direction.
| The Baltimore american (Republi-
cam pays the following graceful tribute
to our candidate for Governor:
"There is no discount on the candi-
date. Maj. John w. Daniel is one of
the strongest, most popular and best
men in Virginia to-day. He is a native
of Lynchburg, lawyer and an orator
| of repute. He was Confederate SOL
dier during the war, serving on Early's
staff, and was wounded In one of the
! Wilderness battles in such way as tn
make him cripple for life. After the
war Maj. Daniel completed his studies
at the University of Virginia. and went
to the Bar with a reputation already
acquired. He is fine debater, an ex-
cellent counsellor, a fearless and inn
passioned orator of the best and loftier
type, with face like that of Edwin
Booth, and manner which carries en-
thusiasm before it In an ever-increasing
tide. He is just forty, in the prime of
manhood, and one of the foremost Vir-
ginians of the day."
