Tho Bristol NcIcs publishes n list OF
northern Republican papers fayorinE a
coalition with the Rcadjusters In Vir-
ginla aud endorsing their candidates.
We fail to scc why northern Republican
papers endorsing the Rcadjustcr nomi-
noes should be any sort OF reason to In
duco Democrats to support such ticket.
On the contrary, II the ticket Is satisfac-
~ to the Republicans, for In II they see
the destruction Of the Democrats, this OF
itself affords one of the best reasons why
Democrats should not support such n
ticket. PcdrisLurg Virginfdn.
And We fail to see why the declaration
Of Gen. wlckham that the Readjuster
ticket Ia not satisfactory to the Republic
cans, and that In It's success he does not
sse the "dcstrrlcilon Of the Democrats" /"
but on the contrary the destruction OF

looked by your party. Verify yo 1.-THE

Shall We Have Free Postage.

The Post Master General, Mr.. James,
who Is said to have saved to the country
n million Of dollars by his reforms, will,
Il Ia believed, recommend the reduction
OF letter postage to two cents. The pub
lie will be pleased to have the recon-
mendation and even more so to see 1t
adopted by Congress. For all that, we be-
lieve the main reduction should be on
printed matter. Business and pleasure
can take care Of themselves, but those
who can read should be stimulated to In
dulgc that requirement. Free schools
and cheap literature should be kindred
measures. Would II not be better to
have free postal service on newspapers
10 regular subscribers?

Why Not

Why cannot the Bourbons nominate
Cameron, Lewis and Blair? That would
be no startling thing for them to do. In
1869 they went into committee of the
whole and withdrew Withers and adopt
cd the "True Republican" ticket. In
1879 they went to Baltimore and endOrs-
ed the reform Republican ticket of Gree
ly aud Brown. Those tickets were who'll
ly Republican. Now here Is a ticket
with two Democrats and only one Re-
publican on it. Why not just adopt and
endorse that? True they have said some
unpleasant things about it, but not half
as much as they did about the two allud-
cd to above. They even voted for Col.
Lewis and "Old Rye" in 1859, after they
had calmly digested the whole situation.
No telling what they will do yet.

IL has been said that there was no olll-
Ger In the Confederate army of whom
Gen. X. Il. Lee had higher apprecia-
lion than hc had of General Malone,
and he Is reported TO have remark
cd on one occasion that In the event Of
his death he would have preferred Ma
hone of all his general officers TO succeed
him In command of the Confederate
forces. These high compliments of Lee
20 Malone were the result of close OBJ
scryation Of the courage, skill and mill
tury tact of the latter rs n commander
and intrepid leader, where the great
traits of general are developed. On
more than one occasion Malone dlstn-
gilshed himself by the execution OF such
rapid movements and daring acts MS to
bear favorable comparison with that re-
markablc genius Of the Conicdcmcy,
Stonewall Jackson. Perhaps there Is

Malone the sobriquot Of the "llero OF
