W,cyxAN as the Fuuder candidate OF last
winter for the United States Senate, 1t would
hardly seem likely that he has already
formed an alliance with the Republicans.
General MALONE In substance calls upon
the regular Democratic party to 60 before
the people this year upon platform de-
dninr their creed and telling what they In
tend 10 do concerning the public debt. ms
s,,itcs us as reasonable demand. From
the 4th day OF November until DOW we have
been urging such course upon them Gilt

two narties. Let us dscountenance repu'
diation, aud at the same time go as far az
we can in reSdjusting the debt so as TO make
our proposed settlement square with the
manifest determination OF The people not
10 allow their taxes TO he increased. TINS
Motley Is demanded alike by regard for
the future OF the Democratic party OF VIZ
GINA, and by the very necessities OF the
case.
General MALONE charges that the FUND
ers consider education "a luxury" ana
consequently are not friendly to The public
school system. He would ind Sood zeal
OF trouble in establishing the truth OF tDis
charge. There are men In the regular
Democratic party, as in the MALONE faction,
who bave no kindly feelings towards tue
puolic schools; but these arc comparatively
few in number. The excellent SCHOOLS III
Richmond, Lyuchburg, Staunton, and other
cities and towns. as well as the country
public schools, were established 10y the
Conservatives.
General MALONE runs over the list OF Of
fees which are to be filled by the people
next November and by the Legislature next
winter, aud holds them up as prizes to be
commended for. The Governor. The LIEU
tenapt.Governor, the Attorney General, the
Superintendent OF Public instruction, The
Auditors, the judges of the Court OF APP
peais. all come in for share OF his alteu-
tion. He repeats the charge that the eXami-
nation OF the Second Auditors Office has
disclosed the loss Of 100000 by missing
bonds and the double funding OF coupons.
Onr readers will recolIect what General
RocfRs, the late Second Auditor, has had
to say on this subject in our columns.

raj MAHONE's remarks in regard 10 "the
people"; what he has TO say OF their hay-
ing for the first time compressed their VIII
on the legislation OF the State; and his cool
characterization OF Legislature which
contained fourteen negro members as your
representatives" The Funder ticket re-
ceiyed in November last $4,000 votes, and
the Grip-Sack ticket $4,000 votes, whilst
"the peoples" ticket received 3l,0O0!-
$1,000 out of 2l1,0O0! Wonderful "peO-
ple"!
General MALONE says there are twenty
State senator's TO be elected next fall. We
make the number twenty-five, as this dis
trio, will have 10 elect two, and one will
have TO be chosen in JOHN PAUL's district.
The eighteen who hold over we class as fol-
lows: s Readjusters. Republicans, and 8
Democrats or 7 Debt.Payers and IL RID
DLEBERGER.bill men. This leaves General
MALONE a majority Of four TO start upon,
though we are not without hope that more
than one OF those members who have here
tofore been cassed with the RI adjusterS
will declare his independence Of the faction
which andaciously proposes to repudiale
outapd out twelve millions Of dollars OF the
debt OF Virginia.
Whether bis party can accomplish any,
thing in Virginia next fall or not. will de-
,,and ,,non how General MALONE acts in
the United States Senate. Let us watch the
progress Of events, and act with discretion.
So shall we gain a victory next November
more 10 be reioiced over than that which
e,addened our hearts in November last.
