DEMOCRATIC READJUSTERS CAN SEE
The fact that the course pursued by
Malone is endorsed by the Valley PR
gi,ai0m and other Republican papers {
well as leading Republicans generally
shows that he Is not only acting with
but in the interests of the Republican
party. This should be sufficient to con.
vince every Democratic Readjuster
that he should no longer follow him, OF
support his party.

DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED FRENCH
JOURNALIsT.-Emi de Girardin, one
of the Oldest and most distinguished of
French journalists and politicians, died
IN Paris Wednesday. He was the son
of nobleman, and took his faith er's
name, although born outside of lawful
wedlock. This circumstance, however
did not put him to any disadvantage in
his struggle for political distinction
In Paris, and he became sort of jour,
nalistic dictator, whose opinions shap
ed and controlled great historical events.
He established more successful news
papers than any man of his day. 1t is
said that it was mainly through his ad-
vice and persuasion that Louis PHILIPPE
consented to abdicate the throne. He
was voluminous author. as well as a
courageous and brilliant editor, and
conducted a fashion paper and month
Iy journal devoted to the art of cooking.
His wife was poet, dramatist and au
thor, and wrote many popular novels
and highly successful plays. Born at a
period when most Frenchmen hated
Great Britain, he cherished this senti-
ment of inherited hostility to "perfide
Albion" throughout his long life. He
was IS years of age at his death.

The Danger BY which we are Threatened.

From an editorial OF the Richmond
State Of the 9th ult., under the above
cap ion. we quote the following:
1.-THE whole object of the Malone
party, disguise it as they may attempt
to, clearly is to obtain control of the
State offices, as it is believed they have
already secured the Federal patroDa e.
by using the negro vote, in payment for
which they will be compelled to give
that race all the lesser places in the
State, or the largest share of them. from
the Lieutenant GoveTnOrship, or q
Judge of the Court of Appeals, if not
Senator of the United States, down, in
payment of their services. It was q
fashion here in Virginia to commiserate
the sad fate of our brethren in the ex
IRENE southern States where numerical
negro majOrities had to be overcome,
and to admit that they were justified in
using almost any means to maintain
the purity of their society by keep
ing the political power in the hands Of
those who represented the wealth, In
telligence, and moral and social worth
and purity of the State, little dreaming
that we ourselves should very soon De

in3lr OrOeaI passed., we couiu aHoIu W ~
generous in our acts and kind in our ex
pressions. for no logger danger threaten
I'd Virginia We felt and SO held that the
southern white people after the with
drawal of the Federal troops were able
to take care of their own State govern
ments and keep them in the hands OF
the best people. and that therefore tht
solid South and its methods of necessity
could be dispensed with; but We diu
not contemplate any such condition OF
things as has now happened We had
no idea that any portion of our white
people could prove recreant in their
duty to their rec and join with the
men whose power we had broken, the
negroes and Radicals of the State, to
confound all our councils and destroy
all our hopes of the future. But 30 il
has happened, and we again find our
selves confronted by the same danger
that menaced US in 1869, and from
which we were only saved by combi-
nation of all the best people of the
State. And to this same means again
are we compelled to look for safety,-to
this same white race are we forced to
appeal to cave the Commonwealth now,
nor shall we appeal in vain."

The Valley Virginian's Distrust Of the
MahOneiteS.

Malone and his followers, though ex-
hibiting great deal of "new zeal" for
the principles anl policy" of the Re
publican party, are distrusted by the
Valley VSr0inian. that characterizes
their professions as ''mere clamor and
blather," and gives them to understand
that, before they can be received into
the confidence of the Republican party,
and receive its rewards in preference
to those Bourbon Republicans,"-as
they are Extensively styled by theil
new allies.-who have borne the heat
and burden of the day, they will be re.
quired to give more Substantial evil
dence" of their sincerity than "mere
clamor and blather." 1t says:-
"They will have to furnish some more
substantial evidence that they are more
sincerely liberal in their new zeal than
those who have endured all kinds OF
prescription and Ostracism because OF
their support of Republican principles,
than mere clamor and blather to con
vince the country that Bourbon Re
publlcans" are not better Republicans
than they are, and infinitely more to be
trusted IL carrying out Republican pol
icy. ''Republicans." whether chased
as "Bourbons" or not, have higher
claims upon their party than Demo
Gratis. whether ranging under the colors
of Funders or Re adjusters. AS to the
charge of holding office, the Bourbons
plead guilty, and yet feel no humilia-
tion. in the light of an honorable and
creditahle record, and faithful perform
ance of duty"
Havingin an evil hour left the home
of their fathers--the Democratic party
to find the doors of the Republican
party barred against them, unless they
furnish Substantial evidence that
they are full fledged Republicans, they
will be 'left ont in the cold," unless
they act the part of wise men and
speedily return to their only true home
where they will be kindly received and
Hospitality entertained and feasted on
the fatted calf.

No LONGER A PRIMARY IssUE.-A
remarkable declaration has fallen from
the lips of Gen. Malone, which we are
surprised to see coming from that
source, not, however, that we did not
all along believe it to be the truth. Yet
we credited Malone with too much
sense, as a politician, to make it. In
an interview with the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Herald,
Malone said that 1.-The debt question IL
no longer the primary one with his
party, but a free and priceless BALLOT"
how do you like that language, Read
justers of Rockingham? 1.-The debt
question is no longer the primary one'
with the Mahoneites; Mahone says so.
Will you allow yourself to be trans
ferred by this willy demagogue to the
ranks of the Republican party? Will
you be free and so act, or bow in huns
BILE submission to the dictations of VIM.
Malone? Las year we told you,
warned you, where your leader was
leading you, if you persisted in follow
ing him. Again we repeat the warm
ing and now add that Malone cares
not the value of fig as to the readjust
ment of the State debt, and has only
used the party to advance his personal
schemes for power ana place. VIII
Democratic readjusters follow this bold.
bad man into the Republican camp?
Perish the thought; we will not, cannot
believe it.
AS we have before said, so we now re.
peat, that the debt question will be set
tied by either the Democrats or Repub
licans Which? We believe by the
Democrats. If settled by the Republi
cans, then you may begin to prepare
yourself to pay all Of the debt in full,
aUith interest at sac per cent. There Ii
where Mahonelsm Is leading. Do you
intend to follow? In our humble judg
ment the alarm will soon be taken by
the great bulk of those who honestly
composed the readjuster party. because
they believed the leaders were as honest
as the voters in reference to readjust
ment. Time has shown that they were
not; that they were intent on securing
office and political power, and now are
ready to barter with the Republicans,
or the devil if more propritious, to ad
vance their aims ana schemes.-Otd

Highland Readjusters.

The meeting in Highland County on
Tuesday last which appointed delegates
to the Malone convention to meet in
Richmond on the End of June, had
more the appearance of a Readjuster
meeting than those which have been
held in other parts of the State, for the
participants in it did not stultify them
selves by endorsing Malone. This lie
very significant, for it shows that the
readjusters of that county have no idea
of being led or driven into the Republi
can party, and before the election in
the fall they will see they cannot with
consistency support the ticket that will
be nominated by the Malone party. for
the canvass will show that to do 80 will
be to aid the Republicans to get control
of the State and not to readjust the debt,
for they will find, as Malone says, that
the ebtques:ion is no longer considered
a primary one" and that the issue will
be whether the State government shall
be controlled by party composed of De-
mocratic white people, or by party the
majority of whose supporters will be
Republicans and negroes.
When they see this, as they surely
will, the Democratic readjusters of
Highland, as of other counties, will vote
for the nominees of the Democratic con.
vention, and show that they are Demo
Gratis in reality, and not in name mere
~, and that they cannot be made tools
of to serve the purposes of Republicans
whether open and avowed, or trdache.
rously concealed under the mask of read
justment.
The Readjusters Of Highland omitted
to do what the Mahoneites of this coun.
ty did-they omitted, or rather refused
TO endorse Mahone-and they did two
things which the meeting in this coun-
ty failed to do-they instructed their
delegates to vote for the nomination OF
Massey for Governor, and authorized
VIM. II. Peyton of this city to cast the
vote of that county for Massey in the
event that none of the delegates or al
ternates from that county should attend
the convention. A prophet is not with
out honor save in his own country, and
the stone that was rejected by the build
ers of this county, has been made the
head of the corner by the wiser builders
of Highland.
When Malone shall dictate the nomi.
nation of Cameron, the Readjusters of
Highland will see how their wishes
are respected.

The declarations of Malone and his
