MILITARY DISPLAY AT WOODSTOCK ON THE
4TH OF JULY.-The Shenandoah Herald says
that 1.-THE military display at Woodstock on
the coming 4th of July promises to be very
fine affair, and will be a treat to the people OF
our county. The Valley companies composing
the new End Va. Regiment, will be out in full
force, and as they are composed of the very best
material, handsomely uniformed. finely drilled
and we'll Differed, our people may be expect
such military entertainment as they have
seldom, if ever, witnessed"
In speaking of the Anderson Guards" of
Woodstock the Herald says
"Our military company, the Anderson
Guards, are getting themselves in frst-class
| shape and trim for the summer campaign, and
will be -bIe to hold their own with any of the
| Valley companies. They have recently pur-

The excellent military companies of Staun-

their brother soldiers of other companies. We

1.-THE Bourbon leaders, who are cum
ming enough when they want to carry
point against the people, procured a
poll taxi
This is one of hundred bare faced
mis- statements made by Malone, in a
recent interview with New York Her
aid reporter.
The truth is that the members of the
Legislature who are spoken of as "Bour.
bon leaders," had no more to do with
procuring the poll-tax than the leaders
of the Malone faction. Parson Massey,
ex-Speaker Lacey, and all the other
prominent Mahoneites who were then
members of the Legislature with the
exception, perhaps, of one or two who
lodged voted for it. According to our
recollection, there was not speech a.
gainst it, except from Republicans and
negroes, in either House. And if Gen.
Malone was opposed to it, be took good
care not to let it be KNOWN Winchester

Can General Malone have any better
luck with his so called "Independent"
ticket this year than last? Not he. He
claimed the same sort of "Indepen-
dence' last year that his followers in
Virginia are claiming for him now but
the claim misled few then, ard will
mislead very few this year. So we'll
understood is his position that the ne
groes are fiocking to his standards, con-
ident that he is the man to whom they
ought to look to secure for them the Off
ces they covet AMI the consideration they
demand as constituting the bulk of the
opposition to the regular Democrats.
If the negroes have sense enough to
know that General Mahone's party is a
better party for their purposes than the
Republican party, no one need doubt

A NICE LITTLE JOB.-There is but
little doubt that nice little job is to be
put up on Parson Massey, and the r nj
and file of the Reaujuster party who
prefer him as their candidate for Gov
ernor. The Boss is going to have bis
man Cameron nominated despite the
popular preference for the Parson. who
claims to be the father of REIMBURSEMENT.
The State suggests that Malone IS play
ing one of bis favOrites against the 9TH
er. and both against Massey We have
not a doubt of it. AS many delegates
as possible will be pledged to Cameron
and Wise, and, if a majority cannot be
secured for either, then the friends of
these two gentlemen will combine
against Massey. The Wise delegates
will be marched over to the Cameron
ranks, down the united forces will
swoop on the Massey column, and the
''old original" will be overwhelmed

The great issue now confronting us is,
whether the people of Virginia intend
to permit themselves to be dragged into
the Radical party at the tail end OF Sen
ator MahOne's car, or whether they
mean to rise and assert themselves as
men, and rebuke the coalition which
he has made with the worst enemies OF
their State and section.
The question is, whether they are
ready to strike hands with Mahone's
friends. Frye. Hoar, Logan, Dawes, and

REGISTRATION AND CITY ELECTIoN.-The
Registration offices will be opened in this city

registered before that day by applying to the
Registrar in his ward-Mr. Waddy in the First

There will be no election in this city in the
May election except for the office of Clerk OF
Circuit Court, and we suppose that all will vote
for Joseph N. Ryan. the present popular and

1.-THE rumor that Mr.. Lurty, United
States Attorney for the Western Dis
trict of Virginia, is to be removed and
his place given to Mr.. Riddleberger,
comes from so many different sources
that there must be some foundation for
It, If it is so the fate of the Democratic
repudiator will not be better, for his
nomination as district attorney Will
meet with as much opposition from the
Democratic Senators as that of Sergeant

of Mr.. Lurty, staunch Republican,
and the substitution for him of repu-
dating Democrat will not strengthen
the Mahoneites among the true and
consistent members of the Republican
party in his State"

he should be removed to give place to
Riddieberger, the Administration will
