ga Free Ballot and a Fair Count"

The shibboleth of the Malone party
to get negro votes, and the sympathy OF
the Republican party North, and the
aid of the Administration In the coming
election-to wit, "a free ballot and
fair count, looming from Malone and
Cameron. is the baldest hypocrisy that
ever surprised and astonished an hon.
est people.
The Alexandria Gazette says:
"Gen. Mahone's candidate for Gov
ernor, in his speech accepting the nomi-
nation, said he favored the rule of the
people by representation By people
he meant the negroes, and yet, if the
testimony of reliable witnesses is to be
credited, he wanted the charter of Pc
tersburg so altered as practically to dis
franchise the negroes of that city, and
we have the word of an eminently
trustworthy gentleman, member of
the Legislature at that time, to the eff
feet that the Generals own signature
was on the petition for the alteration
referred to-"
Ave, more than that, we know that
the Boss discharged every one of the
colored men employed here IN the SER
vice of the Railroad in 1869, who voted
the Republican ticket. They were good
hands, whom some of the white officers
wished to retain, but the Boss said the
edict had gone forth, and "the last one
of them must CO." That looked like "a
free ballot and a fair count" -Lynch-
burg Trginiam.
Malone is not in favor Of "a free bal
lot" as his course has shown, unless
that ballot is cast to suit his Wishes
He is the only man that we know of in
this State who has turned voters out Of
employment because they did not vote
to suit him, and yet he now presents
himself as the special friend and cham
pion of "a free ballot and fair count
Out upon such bare-faced hypocrisy!-
He absolutely puts Pecksniff to thu

role Of hypocrisy. He may deceive thu
Republicans of the North by such false
professions, but he cannot deceive tn
people of Virginia. He may delud'

watched his course, and have learned
from it that he has no regard for "a fire.
ballot and fair count" unless that bal
lot and count will promote his persona
interests and aggrandizement-that b
is essentially despot and wishes to rul
for himself alone. He turned negroe
out of employment because they vote
to suit themselves, and not Malone, AM
now he has the bare.faced effrontery t.
call upon the negroes to vote as he
wishes and with his party under tn
false pretense that he favors "a free bal

ing more honest than Malone, and &C
cepting his professions as sincere, ar
rallying to his support and that of hi
party, though it contravenes the mos
important principle of the Republican
arty-fidelity to public obligations
and it becomes the duty of every Demo
crat, whatever may be his views of tn
settlement of the State debt, to do al
that he can to defeat the party thus en-
gineered by Malone and confreres.

We thought the thrust of the Wing
was made at Massey, who cannot but
feel that he was badly treated by Ma
hone and his convention.
Whilst the large majority of the Re
adjusters were in favor of Massey for
Governor, Malone preferred his per-
sona1 friend, Cameron, and as he con.
trolIed the convention, Cameron receive
ed the nomination, as was foreseen and
predicted by those who knew that Cam
eron was the choice of Malone, and that
whoever Malone preferred would be
nominated. The ticket is Mahone's and

Face tho Musie.

If there be an svowed coalition be-
tween the Readjuster and Republican
parties, and there be but one ticket in
opposition to the Democratic ticket,
then matters will be simplified in the
next canvass, and the Democratic party
will be able to kill two birds with one
stone" We are not sure but that this
Is the best form in which the issue
could be presented. for then every DEM

SIT is q spoiled child who sulks when

And what is he who would question the
right to advocate or oppose any candi-
date before q convention We think
his breeches should be enlarged Wood
stock Virginiaa.
Capt. H. H. Riddleberger is the edi-
tor of the Woodstock Virginian, and 1t
was the editor of the Richmond Wing,
the organ of Malone, who said, ''it is a
spoiled child who sulks when he cannot
get all he wants at once" This thrust
of the Wing we supposed was aimed at
Massey, hut 1t seems that Riddleberger
thinks it was intended for him because
he opposed the nomination of Lewis,
and charges him with sulking because
he cannot get all he wants at once. He
has been disappointed in being elected
Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate for
which he was nominated by Radical
caucus. Is 1t to this that the Wing has
reference, or does 1t think that Riddle.
berger is too impatient for the Office of
U. 8. Senator, which 1t is now probable
that Malone has promised to Massey
to reconcile him to the manner in which
he was treated in the Malone conven-
ton, in which he was set aside for Cam
eron the personal friend of Malone.
Riddleberger seems to think that ELAN

NFANTICIDE IN ROCKINGHAM
Miss Elizabeth Shultz, of Rockingham
county, living between Singers Glen
and Cootes' Store, who gave birth to q
child on the 9th of June, which was found
dead in some bushes under circum-
stances which indicate that the infant
was murdered, has been declared. guilty
of infanticide by the verdict of a coro-
ner's jury, and will be tried for that
grave offence. She is girl, about IS
years of age. She protests that she did
not kill the child. It Is sad case. The
circumstances, as reported, are very un-
favorable to her innocence.

otherwise ? Democrats cannot be made
to vote for a republican ticket and sup
port republican policy at the bidding
of Malone or any other man. They

IRON BRIDGE ACROSS GREENBRIER
Provisions are making for the
construction ola sixteen feet iron bridge
across Greenbrier River at Anderson,
Monroe Co., w. Va. The town of Al
deIson is ca led upon for q subscription
of six or seven hundred dollars which,
we suppose, will be promptly subscribed
and the construction of the bridge Sc
cured.
This bridge is estimated to cost $12 900,
the cost to be equally divided between
the counties of Greenbrier and Monroe
Greenbrier made its subscription several
years ago. Monroe has been tardy, but
has at last made its subscription.
S.-Since the above was written,
we learn from the Green6rier Zadepes-
dent that the commissions of the two
counties have awarded the contract for
the building of the bridge to firm in
Pittsburg, Pa, at the sum Of $40, 500.

SHOT ON THE HrGHWAY.-The Har-

on Sunday night, the 5th inst, "Mr.

up and took hold of his bride and Or
dered dismount. But Mr.. Showalter,
who was fortunate enough to have a
good Navy revolver on his person did
not propose to give up his possession so
easily, and instead of dismounting as he
was ordered to do, drew his revolver and
fred upon the would-be thief, the shot
taking effect in his left breast, where
upon he started to run, when Mr.. s.
fired twice more upon him, the second
shot taking effect just under the right
shoulder blade as he was attempting to
cross the fence and get in a wheat field.
This shot caused him to fall.
When Mr.. s., very much frightened,
rode home in great hurry, and entered
the house exclaiming that he had just
killed a man a short distance up the
road. Together with several other gen.
tlemen he went back to the place where
he had left him for dead and found him
sitting there trying to stop up the flow
of blood from the wound in his breast,
which was bleeding profusely. He
did not attempt to escape, but
went very quietly back to the house
with them. After remaining a short
time he made an excuse to 60 out, and
has not yet been heard from. He was
an Irishman. about middle age, and
supposed to weigh $50 pounds"

recton will more than pay for n chance.
The chilly winds an biting colds of winter
