THE MEANING OF 1.-THE State, in
speaking of the cry for'' full vote and
an honest count" which the Republi-
cans and Malone are making, and the
aim of the Republicans in forming an
alliance with Malone and other MERGE
naries for the purpose of getting control
of the Southern States, says
at means standing army of white
desperadoes and bulldozers, placed in
font of the polls in the South to compel
the negroes to vote on the one side and
prevent the white people from exercis-
ing the same right freely on the other
side! The plan is we'll laid one, whose
adoption must have been long intended,
and has only been deferred because the
men up to this time could not be found
in the South to put it in execution. But
now it is to be first applied in Virginia
at our fall election, and If successful
here, the system can be extended to the
other States of the South in detail, and
from that time forward cur best people
will be at the mercy Of these mercena'
ries of the Government. in the pay of
the party in power, and whose every
movement will be directed from the
headquarters at Washington. IA free
and full vote and honest countw Yes,
truly; a policy that will compel the ne
gro to vote the Radical ticket, or count
his ballot for that ticket, and will drive
the white voter from the polls, or throw
out his ballot after it has been cast!"

WHAT is THOUGHT IN EAST Rock
INGHAM.-Ac correspondent of the Rich.
mond State writing from ElktOn. Rock
ingham county, March 26th, says
1.-THE treachery of Malone to the De-
mocracy has done harm to Mahoneism.
There are numbers of Democrats who
will be deceived no longer, and the
coming fall election will show that
"Boss" rule will not be tolerated by q
liberty loving people. There are few
who are anticipating patronage from
the Republican crib to be sifteh through
Mahone's seive, that unbiushiDgiy say
inasmu CHI as.they could not get the De-
mocrats to settle the State debt accord
ing to their peculiar notions, that the
Mahoneites are going to commit that
operation to the Republicans"

The LITTLE Generalization. Ma
hone has chosen his party at last. He
was elected as an avowed Democrat,
but of the readjuster wing. His act OF
voting with the Republicans has proven
that he Is neither Readjuster or Bour-
bon Democrat but genuine Republi-
can who has ridden into Office under
false colors. We wonder what the Re
adjuster party will do now? Its head
has gone over to the enemy-we will see
If the rank and file follow. We have
never had any confidence in Gen. Ma
hone, but his party followers we have
steadfastly believed to be true Democrats
and true Virginians.-South River Ad-

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO Sup
PORT THE MALONE PARTY.-John s.
Wise says, in his letter to N. B. Meade
that the Republican party has deter
mined to aid the Malone party with
the full power of the administration"
The purposes of the Malone party
which commend it to the support of the
Republican party should certainly de-
termine every Democrat to oppose it.
It is not now question as to the settle
ment of the State debt, but whether the
government of the affairs of this State
shall be handed over to the Republican
party, ninetenths of which in this State
are negroes. The question is, whether
Virginia is to be ruled, in effect, by ne
groes or by white men.

WHITE REPUBLICANs.-It would seem
that the colored Repu blicans have
about as much respect for the White
Republicans as John s. Wise exprss eed
in his letter to N. B. Meade. In an adj
dress by Zacharish Hunt, of Botetoart,
published in the last issue of the Salem
Register, in speaking of the composition
of the Republican party, he says
"The colored citizens of this State
constitute that party, with the excep-
ton of few thousand white Republi-
cans, principally "caspetbag" adventat-
rers.U

Bargain and Corruption.

On last Tuesday, in the U. 8. Senate,
General Hampton declared that some
thing more than public rumor had as
serted that there had been an unlawful
coalition and a corrupt bargain between
the Republicans and the Readjuster
Senator from Virginia, and he called up
on the Republican senators to appoint
a committee of their own choice to in.
vestigate it. If it is false, let the calum-
ny rest upon those who make the
charge; and if true, the Senate has the
authority and power to punish the guilty
parties.
On the same day, Senator Brown, of
Georgia, referred to the same matter,
and is thus reported by the Washington
correspondent of the Dispatch =
"He said while he did not know of
the bargain personally, there Is no jury
in the country that would not return
upon the testimony before the Senate q
verdict that there had been q contract,
to use q mild term, as charged. In fact,
if they were confined to the strict rules

still be compelled to find verdict of
guilty. He said the America people be-
ieve there has been q bargain. It re-
minded him of the anecdOte of the pole
cat, who claimed he was coon, but he
did not look like one and he did not
smell like one; and this arrangement
does not look nor smell like an honest
transaction. The solemn faces of Re-
publican senators led him to believe that
they are like the man who drew an ele-
plant in rattle but perhaps they are
more like the astronomer, said he, who,
looking through big telescope, declar-
ed to his friends that he saw an elephant
on the moon more than that, he saw
him move. They told him 1t could not
be 30, for THERE'S no elephant there, and
if there was some one would have seen
it before. While they were disputing q
bystander looked into the other end OF
q telescope, and cried out, why, it isn't
any elephant, but only little mouse in
the telescope" Republican friends
said Governor Brown, twill find that
instead of an elephant they have only 9
little mouse" This caused good deal
of merriment on the Democratic side
but Republicans did not laugh. He saiG
if it be true that the contract has beer
fulfilled GU one side, he and those acting
with him will remain here for all time
to prevent the goods from being deliver
ed on the other side, and the people will
sustain the Democrats"

The open and manly course of Mr..
Thos Murphy is such as all Democratic
Readjusters should pursue. We do not
doubt that bis example will be followed
by many. He gives good reasons for
his action, and the same will influence
other Democratic Readjusters to act
likewise, and to repudiate the party
that has sailed under false colors; inn
posed upon honest Democrats; and ia

give the control of the State into the

John s. Wis-'s Description OF the White
Republicans of Virginia.

Capt. John s. Wise, of Richmond,
who was the Malone candidate for Con-
gress nd expected to be elected by ne
gro votes, and who is now one of the
prospective candidates for Governor on
the Malone ticket, in alliance with Re
publicans, in recent letter thus speaks
of the white Republicans Of this State
1.-THE great bulk of the republican vote
here hitherto has teen negroes. A large
proportion of the white republican vote
in Virginia hitherto has been made up
of men who were lot republicans from
principle, but as q matter of trade and
barter; men without character and in
fuence, apostates for the price of their
apostacy men utterly worthless in the
community, who would starve without
office, who became republicans for Of
flee, and whose tenure of office not only
added 10 strength to their party, but
brought it into disrepute and turned re-
spectacle men away from it.
Why, sir, the average white republican
in Virginia does not want any accession
to the ranks Of his party. Triumph is
the last thought in his mind. Place is
his whole object. Martyrdom, soothed
by reward, Is tie whole philosophy OF
his pslitics. The moment his party be-
comes large enough to win victory
his chances of rev ard will be dimin-
ished aud be " i'll lose all interest in the
matter. He does not wish the Republic
can party to conciliate, to recruit, or to
augment its following. His is close
corporation with just enough offices to
supply its members. Compared with
that pleasant arrangement, which is
preserved by the past policy of sectional
bitterness, national prosperity, aye, the
triumph of the National Republican
party, is nothing whatever to him."
It is very certain that John 8. Wise
has prepared very large dish of "crow''
for such Republicans as will support
him or his party. We suspect, however,
that many of them will partake of it
and VOW that it is palatable.

FAILURE OF GORHAM AND RIDDLE
BERGER The Washington correspon-
dent of the Dispatch says
mo Republican correspondent now
believes that Messrs. Gorham, Riddle
berger & Co., have the ghost ofa chance
of being elected at the executive session
of the Senate. All agree, however, that
the nomination of Mr.. Riddieberger
was the weakest that General Malone
could have made, and that he showed a
great lack Of judgment in not naming
some one of his. party who bad a better
record or less pronounced readjusting
record.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1881-04-05

BOUND TO YIELD.-The Democrats
in the Senate have the Republicans al
disadvantage and the Republicans
will have to yield, and Gorham and
Riddleberger will have to wait. With
them "hope deferred, maketh the heart
sick" The Republicans are getting
sick of Malone. He is a heavy dose,
and their stomachs begin to revolt.

We give our editorial space this week
to the able and patriotic letter of Capt.
John 8. Wise, whom we introduce az
the candidate of our choice for Governor
in the coming auvass.-Abangd0n Var-
giaian (Readjs1ster.
The letter of Wise's alluded to ia that
addressed to N. B. Meade, some extracts
from which are published in this issue.
Would it not be an interesting specta-
Gle to see the white Republicans voting
for John s. Wise for Governor? This
is not only possible, but probable, fol
the tail seems determined to wag the
dog. and the dog does not seem to offer
much resistance. But we suspect the
dog will howl aDdgrowl when the faith
fui allies" become aware of the fact that
John s. Wise.is the son of the man who
hung "old John Brown" This may de-
stroy all of John s Wise's hopes, and
prevent his nomination, or defeat him
if nominated, and he would then re-
greet that he was his fathers son.

HILL AND HoAR.-Last week, in the

ply to the Senator from Massachusetts,
except to remark. and want the coun-
try to understand it, that have said
nothing whatever such as he has report
ed me as saying. The Senator has simply
rehearsed what he has said perhaps q
hundred times, which was never true at
any one time he ever said it."

BRIDGEWATER, VA,
March 18th, 1881.


@. T. Bar6ee. Esq, Chairman, &C.:
Sir:-Your note informing me that
had been appointed O member of the
Readjuster committee for BridgewateI
precinct, has been received.
In reply, have to say that I have
been Readjuster since 1872, earnestly
desiring the readjustment and settle
ment of the State debt upon just and
equitable principles. So faithful have
l been to the cause, that in order to pre-
serve the Readjuster party, voted for
the July electoral ticket last fall, believ-
ing it, however, to be a simon-pure
Democratic ticket.
But while l have been and am still q
Readjuster, have always been q Dem
ocrat, and when / find the recognized
leader of the REIMBURSEMENT party. Gen
eral Malone, q man whom I have fol-
lowed almost blindly, DESERVING the
Democratic party and voting with the
Radical party on party questions in the
Senate of the United States; when
find the leaders of the July electoral
ticket and its organs last fall, openly en-
dorsing Mahone's course, and cOalescing
with the Radical party. and one of these
leaders and an eiector at-large on the
July electoral ticket, accepting nOmt-
nation of Radical caucus; when l find
the Radical organs everywhere APP
plauding Mahone's desertioD and treach-
cry when find that readjustment has
been prOstitu.ed into scramble for Of
flee, and that it means now an alliance
with Radicalism and an effort to Radi-
G ilize the State, am forced to declare
as Democrat will have nothing to do
with the Readjuster Radical party, and
/ have no idea any sincere Hancock
man, who voted the July electoral tick
ct in the late Presidential election, will
follow Malone into the Radical party.
AS to the State debt question, must
express the hope that the Democratic
Convention In August will adopt q plat
form upon which all Democrats, who
have. the settlement of the question
truly at heart can unite, and that all
will come together in an effort similar
to that of 1869 to save Virginia from
Radical. supremacy and negro domino
ton, now threatened by the desertlon
and treachery of Malone and his co-of-
flee. seekers.
