ALEXANDRIA. \ A.
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL :, 1S-2.

Until. RECENTLY the rcadjustcrS deemed
Mr.. Massey most reliable witness. and no
matter what may have been the grounds
upon which he acquired among them the
reputation of trustworthy witness he has
certainly done nothing since then to forfeit
that reputation. Therefore, if they were
sincere in according him :hcr credencc us
late as last December. they must accept rs
true the testimony he now bears and if
obey do they will acknowledge that while
the democrats have understood the General
from the first, they have been sadly de-
ccivcdby him. Here is what the cX-Auditor
now says, in IL letter to the editor of the
Virginia Readjuster:
when the read party was weak and
needed help, only those compelled by hon
est convictions united with it and advocated
It's principles. When il became strong and
popular, and was able 10 help others. men
united with il who cared nothing about its
principles but because the believed it to be
the surcst means ofbcncitting themselves by
securing place and power The rules of
the caucus were not prepared by the caucus,
by General Malone before the caucus
ever met. Their alleged object was to
make an equal distribution of the oili-
ccS. This pretended object gave them
plausibiiiy and secured their adoption.
The real object WAS to place all State Offices
and officers completely under the control OF
General Malone. These rules were not on
" drawn by General Malone, but as soon
"a the General Assembly convened he left
his post of duty in Washington, and went to
and remained i'm Richmond during nearly
the whole legislative session to insure thcil
enforcement Ii is well known that before
any measure could be passed in the cgisIa
ture ii had to be approved by the caucus
And before any man could be elected to any
office he had to be nominated by the caucus
Ii Is equally true that no measure could re-
ccivc the endorsement ofthc caucus and nc
man could be nominated by it until the
measure i'll the one case. and the name. in
the other, had been submitted to and appro
we'd by General Malone. In a word. it was
perfect and complete zone man power
the very thing our opponents charged in the
last campaign would, and that we insisted
and bcIlcvcd would not take place.
When it is remembered that Gen. Mahon,
Il few years ago was in favor of paying ever
the last two cents of the whole State debt
that he signed Il petition for DISTINGUISHING
the negroes of Petersburg: that he instruc
ted the democrats to Use tissue ballots, ant
that he removed every negro on his railroad
who voted the republican ticket but few
will doubt Mr.. Masscy's statement that the
General joined the rcadjustcrs as Il means Of
securing place and power and when it is
known that one of the Generals creatures in
the Legislature naively states on the floor Of
that body that he submits the bills he pre-.
pares to his master before he introduces
them, us few will doubt the cX-Auditor's
assertion that it is the zone man power ia
which the General aspircs

Mr.. W. f. CHANDLER is the avowed Halter
and reviler of the South; he is the man to
whom more than to any other one man is
attributable the success Of the swindle bv
which the electoral vote of Florida was
counted for Hayes, which swindle was SO
apparent that Mr.. Conkling's extreme par
tisanism was all that prevented him from
assisting the democrats in their efforts to
prevent its accomplishment he is also one
of the few republicans who took the trouble
TO congratulate General Malone last fall
upon the disgrace he had wrought upon
Virginia by the election of legislature that
has repudiated more than a-third of her lust
debt. And yet he is the man whom the
President selects for his Secretary of the
Navy. The late President also delighted 70
honor Mr.. Chandler, but not desiring TO
fout the South too grossly nominated him
only for secondary position, that of Solici-
tor General, but the Senate was wise enough
to reject the nomination. The same Senate
will have to consider his present nomina-
ton, and as it deemed him unworthy of the
Solicitor Generalship, how can it approve
his nomination for Secretary of the Navy :?
