WHILE the issue between Mahoneism
and the Democratic party was not clear
" drawn III all counties, in the recent
election. in many counties the Malone
ties run their candidates equarely on
the issue aud were most disastrously
beaten. The result has hada most en-
couraging effect upon the Democrats
and very depressing one upon the
Mahoneites. The people have spoken
il is true very quietly, but with an effect
which cannot be overcome by all the
foolish Dragging of the faction, dis
linguished 10 less bY its 10000 majority
boasts than by its continuous defeat
BY the people. The great popularity
of Mahoneism IS that it always appears
best before an election. So long as
the silly predictions Of lis leader and a
few papers can keep up the spirits Of
tie small following they can make
more noise, and promise more changes
than al the par les in the State, but as
soon as the returns come IN, they are
gloomy and silent. Ia the last campaign
they we're believed 10 be strong, but
were defeated by over $4,000 majority.
Now they are known to be weak, and
that even a part of the faction, Of last
fall, has been driven on by the course
Of their leader IN Washington, yet we
may expect louder yelling, greater dis
plays, more prescription and a more dis
0sirOus dcieat.
1.-THE course Ct ecu. Malone and his
cry of a free ballot aud a fair count"
were no. sufficient to drlYe off the sturdy
democrats OF this Valley, the etfOrt.to
subject the white people of the State to
the ignorant negro element Of Eastern
Virginia by the repeal Of The capitation
tax qualification would be sufficient.

There arc no crumbs of comfort for

that has been atj,cly seeking recogni-
ton of a Republican administration,
and begging Garfield 10 aid them in their

the candidates elected are both well

Gov. Holiday (whose term Of Office cx-
pirts with the present year, as follows {:
"When the history Of the patriotic
Governors Of Virginia shall be written;
when the deeds of those who stood by
principles and maintained the laws and
dignity Of the Commonwealth shall be
recorded. the troubles and incidents OF
the period from 1877 to 1881 will not be
omitted, aud the iudgm ent Of all UMPIRE

Fish Culture.

The valuable results which have
attended the operations of the New
Jersey fish commission should in
spire renewed hopes in regard to
the results to be realized from the
Efforts Of our own Maryland fish
co sS,Cn, which are on a much
more extensive scale, to restock our
depleted rivers with first class food
fish. The New Jersey commission
was organized as late as 1878, and
the annual appropriation has been
only $4,000, but the results of
close supervision, strict but reason
able laws, and continued propaga-
ton on the fish production of the
State have, however. been exceed
ingly gratifying. 1t is only during
the last season and the one now
closing that the results have been
clearly shown. The estimated in
crease i'll the shad production is
from 100000 to 100000, while
there has been a marked change for
the better in the quality; the aver
age weight has also risen from
four and onc-half to six pounds,
with a perceptibIe increase each
year. Shore fishing has been
especially encouraged, and these
fisheries are the most profitable
Along the Delaware 100000 is in
vested in shad fisheries alone,
giving employment to at least
5000 men using 100 miles of nets.
Cape May and Long Branch during
the fashionable season are enormous
consumers. During the year the
New Jersey commissioners have
planted 100000 trout. $4,000
black bass and $4,000 California
salmon. These latter have made
their appearance in good shape as
full-grown fish in the Delaware, and
barring a little coatseness of flavor
occasionally, are said to rank with
the California production.-Bah.

IuroRrAxr TO WHEAT GROWERS

IMPORTANT TO WHEAT GROWERS
An old experienced farmer Of William
son Co., says tie Nashville Gazette,
gives il as a fact that the following
method Is a sure prevention Of the in
sect wcevil in wheat: In piling up
your wheat, after it has been cleaned
by the fan, to every bushel put in a
good hard blick, we'll dried by the sun,
and be sure it IS perfectly dry at the
time you use it. The brick absorbs the
moisture that naturally accumula'es in
the grain and causes it to become so
hard and finty that tie insect or fly
cannot penetrate the outer covering.
We are assured BY persons who have
made the trial that the result is eflec-
tual and the experiment is so easy and
simple we would advise our friends who
grow or deal in wheat to try it.

sey, Gen. Groner, Of Norfolk and
John S. Wise, Of Richmond, are
active competitors for the guberna-
torial nomination. Col. Cameron
has nearly if not quite half the
convention instructed for him, Mas
sey has a large number of in,truc =

fattering support, and Gen. Groner
has the the delegates from Norfolk

competition in the primaries has

shall have been demonstrated that

is assumed by those friendly to his
candidacy that his popularity has
been abundantly demonstrated by
his uninterrupted success as can
dididate before the people, and By
the ENTHUSIASM which he always

The Virginia canvass

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Gen.
Malone went to Richmond this
morning and will remain until the
readiuster convention shall adjourn.
He is not a delegate to the conven-
ton, but his supreme influence in
the councils of his followers will be
exerted to compose differences and
possible dissensions, and he is
hopeful that the session Of the con-
vention will be brief and harmsni-
Gus, and that t ticket for State
officers will he presented certain to
call out the whole strength OF his
party. Gen. Malone has given no
token here Of his preference among
his candidates for tine governorship.
The recent visit of Col. Cameron,
during which he and Malone had a
long walk, evidently discussion is
declared by friends OF both Malone
and Cameron to have no significance
beyond comparison of views as to
the prospects of their party. Yet
it is believed that their well-known
close personal attachment for years
past and The out-spOken advocacy
Of Cameron by Mahone's immedi
ate personal friends are significant
OF the Senator's real preference, pro-
vided he shall see his way clear to
