Gen. Malone in NJ

.--.s,.u ~ THREAIENED.. |
III may interest Judge Davis, who
presided over the Union League
DOW WOW with Senator Malone last
night, 10 know precisely what SEN
ator Mahone has done to give an
education to the poor and lowly."I
A New York judge who talks OF
such questions even on festive and
financial occasions, ought to know
that the effect of Senator Mahone's
educational measure, called the Rid
dlebcrgcr bill, will be to ruin every
college IN Virginia. Many years
ago these colleges invested their
funds in Virgin, State securities.
Washington and Lee University
took s9l,75S.27 worth of bonds
yielding S5,5O5.4S annual interest.
Senator Malone, with the endorse
ment OF Judge Davis, proposes TO
force he college to accept IN full
satisfaction OF this debt $40, 0Sl Al,
yielding at the most 81, POO a year.
Hampden- Sidney College holds
S7O,55O worth OF bonds, which
Senator Malone graciously offers
to "readiust" into s31, 1856. To
Randolph-Macon College he tenders
sS,760 in lieu of s19,7OS. To
Richmond College S29,344.SO In
stead of S44,O17.1S. TO the Blacks
burg Agricultural and Mechanical
College s182.57O instead Of S344-
313-being loss OF Sl6l, I43 to
be inflicted on an institution es'
peclally designed for the farmers Of
Virginia. TO the Hampton Nor
NAL Colored School, established to
educate the "poor and lowly' Afri-
cans Of Virginia, he offers S9l,205
instead of 1852, 1876. This gives
us within a fractional amount of
three quarters of million OF bonds
purchased in part with the money
of testators bent on serving the peo-
pie of Virginia, and in part with
the results of close management OF
the earnings, but in all cases pur-
chased in a firm reliance on the
public nonor and honesty Of the
Old Dominion, at which Senator
Malone last night sneered, amid
the applause of the Union League
| Club of New York, as a thing OF
little consequence in comparison
with the control by republican
placemen of the federal spoils.
Does Judge Davis think it wise to
lend the santion Of his official coun-
tenance to financial projects the
upshot of which IS this barefaced
reputation of a public obligation :
And does Judge Davis think II
seemly that member of the New
York bench should not only en-
dorse such projects. but endorse
them, so to speak, in blank by
openly declaring that he did not
know exactly what the projects
were which he was about to en-
dorse,-N. Y. World.

first drawn in was not OILY crushed

amputated the mangled arms, ore

and no man, or men, possessing any OF
the instincts Of gentlemen, could have
been induced TO rush into print with
such charges by suggestion or lnclina'
ton.
The invention Of ''Sergeant-at-Arms"
and Colorado" was aud is lie, and
could have emanated only from the
most fruitful and capable of liars.
The letter concludes: "Wilson, after
leaving US returned to Riddleberger's
room. and the proof of a bargain and
sale there is indlsputable." AT no
time TO the hour of reliring, was my
room less than crowded with gentlemen
and Wilson came into tie iocm but
once-lhen only to Inquire for some
one, whom l do not recollect, and leav

not with us.

purpose he and Mr.. Leigh Wilson left
Fincastle in the same stage. The next
day 1 was informed that these letters
would not be surrendered. I do not
know the reason. Il would be better
no doubt to have them published, aud
along with them the letters which were
rendered to me. The country could

lhe State. and II. II. Riddleber.
d, Esq. met for duel, Int by an
accidentit was prevented.
Later Hon. George d. Wise and Mr..
Riddleberger et'and fought, but with
out injury TO either.
Both affairs grew out of the Bali
letters and The alleged confes' ion Of
Wilson.
A few days ago Mr.. Rlddleberger
transmitted to Mr.. ". &. Elan, secre-
tary of the Readiuster State Committee,
a statement or conies. ION from wilson
saying that the Blair letters were for
geries. and q at John w. Daniel and
George d. Vie were IN part response
bic therefor, and had employed them
in the canvas, knoNilg the II to be
forged. sc. &c. Mr.. Riddleberger, in
Forwarding Wilson'S cjnfesslon. said {:
"l do rot want to be misunderstood as
endorsing any p TT Of Wilson's letter,
Or as accepting liS sllusion TO and
statements concerning any of tie gem
tlemcn tLerc.n named.'
THE STATES ARTICLE.
In the first lrion Of the State Of FRI
day there appeared an Ieditorial article
quoting the purport Of Wilson's confess
sion. and following II up with the letter
of Mes-r-. McD0 Aell, Figgat God
win. rs to how ;hGt confession was
obtaiEed. aud going on TO say: "Who
is it that conriyes this cunning scheme
and tries to carry it to success, regard
less ofrcspcct for either himself or for
his fellow -mtn:v II IS a chronic can
didate 70 hom aullhi ., however foul,

Again, this R.ddichcrger appears
before TIC country, rOc as candidate
for any office, tom State Senator IN
Virgna to Sergcan,-at-Arms C! the
Senate of the United States, but asa
confidence man, trading in the false and
incohereut mutteriugs of a drunken
fellow. This bogus confession, drawn
out with drink and MONEY, that conf
dencs uau would have Us believe. The
man is blind 10 his boldn ess. A Sc
cond's thought might have reminded
him that tic name Of Riddleberger is
worthless as an erdors ement OF any
statement; and after commenting up
on Riddleberger's political course, clos
ing as follows:
1T is also reported that this man 5
advice TO Blair was to say that he never
wrote the letters tlat he did write, 10
stick 10 this. and, If needs be, 10 swear
TO it. Beneath contempt. therefore, is
any statement that comes from Il. H.
Riddleberger."
