Saturdays Tribune has Washington letter giving the Malone view of Virginia politics. friend ot Mahone's tells ihe correspondent that his differences with the sBourbons began in 1876, when he oppositcd the poll tax quail. fication of the suffrage. Such provision might be we'll enough, were it fairly enforced; but, say the Malone party, it is not fairly en. forced. Often no poll tax Is assessed against negro voters, with the design of excluding them from voting. When election day comes and they offer to pay the taxes assessed against them. it is discovered. that their names have been altogether omitted. Democrats, on the other hand, readily find tax receipts for such negroes as are willing to vete with them. Mahene, says this friend of his, re-, fused, all through last falls election, to enter into any union with the National Democrats. They were anxious for combination which he steadily refused to make. -
