Mr.. Grattan. being the County superinten-

q deep interest in all questions affecting. the

onstrated that. under the operation Of the Rid
dleberger Bill. which constitutes the main
plank in the platform Of the Readjuster party.
the Public Schools cannot be kept in operation.
I Mr.. Blauth made an earnest speech in which
he enjoined upon all to follow the white plume
of Daniel. as the soldiers Of Henry of Navarro
followed his white plume.
Both maintained that as three-fourths would
rule one-fourth, and as three-fourths Of the
Malone party were negroes, that the negroes
will rule the Malone party. and that mixed
schools and miscegenation Of the races would
be demanded by the controlling majority OF
that party.

Weaver, died ofparalysis Of the throat. at her
home on the Shenandoah River in Rocking
ham county, at o'clock last Friday morning.
and was buried in the Cemetery at Mc0aheys-
Vile on Sunday. She was. we suppose. about
so years of age. About two years ago, she was
afflicted with paralysis OF the throat. which
prevented her from being able to articulate
with distinctness, and made 1t difficult for
her to swallow her food. The paralysis con-
tinued to increase, and, for some time before
her death, she was not able to speak at ALL
She was a most excellent woman, faithful and
true in all the relations Of life, and was the

General Malone has gone over to the
Republicans, beyond doubt. He votes
with them on all questions. The whole
power of a Stalwart Radical Admins
tration is brought to bear in his favor.
The Republicans who refuse to bow to
his sceptre are few and far between
His party, in fact, is SO largely made up
of Republicans that if it were not for
them the Democrats would beat him by
q vote of more than three, to one. 1t is
mere trifling for the Wing longer to pre-
tend that ii considers General Malone
AS Democrat It deceives nobody by
making such pretences. Democrats and
Republicans unite in considering him
as having permanently allied himself
and his followers with Grant. Cameron,
Conkling. Chandler, and the rest of the
worst of the Radical crowd. The issue
as between Democracy and Repu blican-
ism is therefore so clearly defined that
the public generally will laugh to scorn
the claim that General Malone is any
thing else than Republican in practice
even fit be admitted that he is one in
disguise Rich Dispatch.

Oh sHAME! WHERE IS rHY BLUsH

Oh SHAME! WHERE is THY BLUSH
There was time when the Judiciary
of the State was non. partisan in its char
actey; when Judge did not dabble in
politics; when the office was not used
to advance party interests.
WHAT'S the case to-day? Here is
Judge Alexander Rives writing letter
to President Arthur endorsing the
nomination of Mahone's man, Statham,
as Postmaster ally nchburg, and plead
ing for his appointment as tending to
the election of Republican Senator by
the next Virginia Legislature.
And this is not the only case. All
over Virginia to day we have Mahone's
judges prostituting their high offices in
the interests of Mahoneism and Boss
ism. And they boldly propose to pack
the Court of Appeals with Mahone's
strikers to do his bidding. The most
bitter partisans in Virginia to day are

sands of dollars will be collected from
