were no better than they should be.
one correspondent, commenting on the
performance, declares that there was
TOO much Riddleberger in the speech /:
while another tells that the Republican
senators looked grave when Malone
glorited Riddleberger's Confederate rec

affair does not appear to have been a

on the facts established by the record
as to the propositions with reference
to the State debt made by the Read

pose, and further trusting to the state
ments of trustworthy Virginia Repub-
