Effect OfMallOne Negro Speak.
crS.

The sending of negroes by The
Malone party to address tho peO-
pie OF Shenandoah and Rockingham
coun ties, and the reasons they as
sign for supporting tie Malone
ticket, have lad tie effect, it seems,
Of causing many democratic read
iusters in those counties TO leave
thatparty and resolve to support tho
State and county ticket. The speech
es of these colored men have had
the effect Of convincing honest
democratic readjusters that the
NJ ahone party is the republican
party in disguise, and that they
should no longer affiliate with it
or give it their support, and hence
they resolve to desert it and vote
for the democratic ticket. In this,
they are honest and sincere, and,
finding that they have been de-
ceived, frankly acknowledge it, and
resolve to do their duty as patriots
and democrats by voting for the
democratic tickets-State and coun-
ty. Heretofore, both Shenandoah
and Rockingham have been strong
readjuster counties, but the eyes OF
many have been opened by recent
events, and it would not surprise
us much if those counties should
give majorities for the democratic
ticket. Our reports from both Of
those counties, as well as from Page
and the other county belonging TO
the Tenth Legion of democracy, are
of the most encouraging character.

The canvass is now nearly over.
Before another issue OF this paper will
be sent out, the question will be de-
cided whether Virginia is to remain
under Democ ratio rule or whether her
best interests are to be placed in the
hands of party Of coalitionists, the
majority OF whom are negroes From
the best information we can get, we
are of opinion that John W. Daniel
will be elected by a handsome MAJ
jOrity. AS to the Legislature, we are
not fully prepared to express an opln-
ion. Both parties claim 1t. We have
encouraging news from nearly every
section of the State, and we hope
that the people will prove true to
themselves and will stamp out OF exc
istence the party that is evidently
trying to hand over the Old Common
wealth. with her best interests, to her
most bitter enemies. We have en-
deavored to present fairly to our read
ers the important issues at stake. We
have given to Capt. Neff our hearty
support, because he is the regular
candidate of the Democratic party; be-
cause he is competent, intelligent, and
will faithfully represent the interests
of our people. He is in no sense coal"
Zionist. He will not solicit your vote
as a Democrat and then vote for a
Republican candidate for the United
States Senate. The contest for the
Legislature in THE county is very
close. Remember that one vote may
decide it. See that every vote that it
is possible to secure for the Democrat
ic ticket is at the polls, so that Shen-
andoah may take her true stand
among the Democratic counties OF
the State.

A NEW RAILROAD 70 CINCINNATI.

New YORK, October 27.--The
Baltimore, Cincinnati and Western
Central Railroad is to be construct
ed from baltimore to Cicinnati, fol
lowing a line midway between the
Baltimore and Ohio and Chesa
peake and Ohio roads, nearly par
allel with the former, and with a
route claimed to be superior to
either in cost of construction,
grades and local resources. The
new line has the aid of some Of the
richest men and ablest railroad
managers of New York, Baltimore,
Cincinnati and other cities. In
December, 1880, charters were
taken out IN Maryland, West Vir-
ginia and Ohio, and since that date
work of organization, the final To-
cation of the line and peifecting of
a financial plan have been pushed
vigorously, and now all details pre-
paratory to active work are per-
fected. Starting from Cincinnati,
the line follows the north bank OF
the Ohio river to Portsmouth, then
to Gallipolis, thence into West
Virginia up the Great Kanaw ha
river to Charleston, thence north
easterly up the valley of Elk river
for 1877 miles to the headwaters of
the Allegheny mountains. Crossing
Low Gap upon grade of 70 feet
to the mile, it passes the north fork
of the south branch of the Boto-
mac, thence to Moorefld, via Win
chester and Leesbdrg, 10 the Poto-
mac at Edwards Ferry. 1t passes
through Maryland fifty-sevsn miles
to BaltimOrss total distance of COL
miles from Baltimore to Cincinnati.
of which distance 3S1 miles (nearly
two thirds) along the banks of riv-
ers, securing low cost OF construc-
ton There will be but two large
tunnels, as against several long and
numerous short tunnels on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, with
no grade in West Virginia to ex-
coed 70 feet to the mile, and the
highest elevation 1928 feet. 1t
passes through very fine country
and great coal and iron fields. The
maximum cost of construction, to
make first steel single track, will
average about $4,000 per mile, Or

Part of the Virginia Bargain

leans, in and out of the Senate,
could have foreseen last March the
results Of their alliance with Ma
hone. so far developed, they would
have given the matter more, and
possibly not so favorable consider
alton. Never in the history eff
American politics has a great party
before made such disgraceful and
self-stuliifying exhibition of Itself
as has been witnessed since the
Malone combination appeared on
the boards in the early part of the
present year. In exchange for his
vote as Senator, Republicans sold
him Offices of the Senate, the Re-
publican patronage in Virginia and
every Republican voter in the linz
its of that State. His part of the
contract he faithfully carried out.
At no time did he fail 10 come for
ward and deliver his vote to its
owners. But the parties OF the
other part found it more difficult to
comply with their end OF the COM
pact.
The opposition Of Democratic
Senators, vigorous and determined,
has to this day, rendered a change
impossible in the offices Of the Sen
ate. Defeated in this particular,
Malone demanded that the admin
istration should brand every Reput-
lican in Virginia who declined TO
support iorcible readjustment and
practical reputation, Accordingly
honest Republicans were notified
that tho tavors OF the adminisira-
ton depended entirely upon the
transfer OF their allegiance from the
honest debt-paying, and heretofore
considered priceless leneIs of the
Republican party, to the Malone
doctrine of the seven well.known
principles OF politics, with new and
unusually dishonest accOmpani-
ments.
strenuous efforts have been made
