VIRGINIA TO MALONE.

We have reached the lowest point
of degradation for the first time in
the history of Virginia. A Virginia
Senator has been elected BY one
party and upon one theory and join
I'd the other party and helped the
other theory. Virginia owes graft
tude and will pay the debt to Sena-
tor HILL, of Georgia, who begged
the Virginia Senator not to dishonor
Virginia and not to fall into the gulf
of iniamy devised for him by Conk-
ling. Gorham and the Grant gang.
In last years election Of that
Legislature which elected him Sena-
tor, MIR. Malone left no stone un-
turned to prove that he was q
Democrat and would always be
Democrat. In national politics his
friends proclaimed this upon every
stump. His newspapers published
it from day to day. In private in
terviews be avowed it over and over.
and Virginia sees, with an nmaze-
,nent greater than that OF the Geor-
gia Senator, that he uses the COM
mission given him by one party in
order to serve fol his own purposes
and the other party; in fact, Virginia
claps her hands when Senator Hill,
of Georgia, becomes her champion
in the Senate chamber Of the United
States and shakes Mr.. Malone n .
terrier dog does rat.
Virginians remember their own
history. if Mr.. Malone forgets it,
and when he went to the senate not
IA few Virginians. and among them
the writer of these lines. denied
with einphusis and anger the asser.
ton that Mr. Malone would prove
a traitor. But be has made his
bid and the United States senate,
both r.rtlss and both
races. NORTH and South, East and
West know now he made it and
GUESS why he made it.--Richmond

We have already alluded TO the left
hand coGplime mt paid to the rewspG.
pers by the Grand Jury in their report,
and IS By the term newspapers" il
seems that only one is meant, and thai
one tbs REPUBLICAN, it behooves us to
again say word in our defence, not
by way of apology for our criticisms but
to re-assert that all of THAT we said was
practically true. but at the same time
We visa 10 distinctly deny that we ever
charged "the sworn officers whose duty
it was to draw juries with SO manipu-
lating the ballots as to produce certain
political results" The quotation is in
the language OF the report. II We IN
derstood Alright it is the duty of the
Clerk Of the Peace to draw the ballots
for the juries, and we know we have
never charged that officer with any uu-
fairness. So far 8s this is concerned.
and so far as it affects the REPUBLICAN,
the report, 10 say TIE least of it, is
grossly incorrect. We did charge that
whoever chose the men who were to be
jurymen from Wilmington were in
fueuced by partisan motives, and the
political predictions of the men chosen
show that we were correct. W. showed
that of the three men summoned to |
serve on the Grand Jury from this city |
all were Democrats, aud were selected |
from AMONGST hundreds Of Republicans
of education, refinement, resp3ctability
and morality, who, to say the least, were |
the peers of those who were selected. |
We have nothing to say against either
OF the gentlemen selected as Grand
Jurymen from Wilmington, bu! that
Henry Eokel, the foreman, and it is |
said tie author of the Grand Jury re.
port, a gentleman of intelligence :; |
William Baxter, Wholesale Liquor
dealer, and Milton Lac5ey, a Trustee
Of the Poor, all leading prominent
Democrats, were selected was hardly i
The result Of accident. That out oil
twspty-Seven other jurymen selected
70 serve upon the various other iuries
during the year, only three were Re- lt
publlcans, was scarcely q mere acct
dental result. We blamed the Levy I
Court for these manipuIati8ns, for c
manirulatioDs they were in the broad "
est sense, and even Mr.. Eckgl, if he 10
will take the trouble to investigate the q
jury p1nel from Wilmington, will be /
to admit its one-sided parti- o
san character, which could not have 10
been so except by manipulation on the /
part Of those who fixed it up. Had the b
