hAHONE's ALLEGED FRAUDS.
AecuS.d Il OF Illegally Qunliryln Ing Voter,
f0f" For His Candidates. f.

RlcnMoSp, VA, November 22.-Dcspitt
the fact that Malone is supposed 10 have
collected from 500, coo to so00000 from tlIe
government employees in Washington and
in this Slate, hg resorted to fraudulent
means to qualify his voters at tho last elec.
tion. 1t required about $4,000 to qualify
the Coalition voters in this State. so0Oo0
or $4,000 had paid the capitation tax
carly this spring to participate in the city
and town elections at the recent election.
It is charged that Alahone's agents voted
thousands Of his adheren,s on fraudulent
tux receipts, which, by the collpsion Of
Coalition county and Slate officers, were
used without the payment Of any
money therefor. In many cases Il Is al,
legged and susceptible Of proof that negroes
were voted upon lax receipts which after
tho election we're returned to the Malone
officers to prevent the discovery OF the
fraud. All Of these facts are being put IN
shape by John i. Massey, the defeated
Dcmocrltic aspirant for Consressman.ut.
Large. This gentleman will contest the scat
which tho Coalition Boarl Of Canyassers
will certify 10 Captain John 7. Wise, WHO
was elected, rs shown by the returns, BY a
majority OF 5,757. The question is, if
Malone adopted such questionable meth
obs FOR securing tax receipts, what did he
do with tho Immense campaign fund that
he is credited with having collectcdY
The great bulk Of that money was ex-
pectcd to be used in tho payment Of
the negroes poll tax. While the Democrats
did not have control Of the Tax Collectors
in many sections Of the State, they qualified
all Of The voters who would support their
candidates and, It is alleged, in some in
stances adopted very doubtful schemes for
obs'ructing the assessment OF negro voters.
The evidence which will be submitted TO
the Forty.eighth Congress by Massey in
his contest against Wise will ievelop some
OF the boldest political manipulations ever
reported from the South. The Virginia
Democrats are no tyros in chicanery OF this
kind. Under the control OF that party this
city has been the scene OF some unblushing
ballot manipulations, but compared TO the
Wholesale and deft style in which Malone
IS credited with having polled illegal votes
it was mere child's play. Most Of these
frauds were probably committed by the
Mahonc marty iu the issuance OF tax re-
celpts by parties who were not legally
authorized to do SO. The Democrats were
at something Of i disadvantage in that par.
ticular, as Malone had control OF the col.
Letting Offices in most sections OF tic State.
The official returns show that light vote
was polled in this State ut the last election.
The Democrats failed 10 poll the vote they
did for Daniel lest year by about 5000,
and the Coalition;s.s fell behind about TO-.
W0 as compared with the same contest

meat has been made that The bottom Is

i'll this city is credited with saying that the

for seventeen years. A reporter this

connected wilhthe iron and steel interests
OF Pittsburgh, aud asked him ii there was
any truth i'll the rumor that the trade was in
such u desperate condition. Said he: ut is
simply nonsense. Peopleget up sensational
stories very often without thought, neither
knowing or caring whether they haye any
