Cu,rr oTTysyrrLE, VA, Apr! 3.-Mr.
Massey addressed the people Of Albemarle
here to-day. There was not great num-
Der OF people In town, but he had good
audience. He said he had not appeared ms
a complainant against his party, but he felt
1t due to himself and to the people TO state
the causes and reasons Of the recent action
Of the Legislature with reference to him.
self lie had not charged one ioia towards
the party. He was
STILL A READjrsIEh'
His fight was against those VINO were SUD
verting the principles OF the party TO their
own personal ends.
He did not approve the Riddleberger
bill, but supported it to give 1t iair trial.
II should, however, have been ratified by
the people.
Mr.. Massey then entered into an expl-
nation OF his personal troubles with the
ring. all OF which has heretofore been pub
lishod. lie paid his respects TO General
Malone, and declared that the caucus rules
came direct from his hand, and that ali
legislation was shaped by him. He must
have heads Of departments under his con-
troll; he was in as direct communication
with the CAUCUS rs the bees were with the
hive. and no man was or could be ncmi-
mated in the caucus OF whom
MALONE DIsAPPR0vED.
The members were rs il they had halierS
around their necks, with Malone at the
other end OF them.
Malone l. a man who never forgets an
enemy or rewards fricnd-a man OF an
inordinate ambition, who would not hcsi-
tate 10 blot Virginia ont OF existence TO ac-
complish his personal ends. II would be
the proudest day he (Mahone) ever had if
he massey had left the party. II any man
expected anything OF Malone, success de-
pended upon how low he could become and
how submissivcy he could LICK the Boss
feet.
lie showed how dangerous were some OF
the measures Malone snow tryingto push
through. The judiciary bill was most
iniulitous measure. TO blind the peoples
eyes, the districts were to be reduced to
twelve, until the party had them in its
power. when it was their ayowed intention
to raise them again TO eighteen.
Mr.. Massey said he would be willing not
TO make another dollar while he lived could
he but have the money which was to be
paid to certain leaders for the passage OF
RAILROAD BILLS.
4 committee had been sent to New YORK
TO advise the railroad syndicates there to
come forward and use their money upon
certain members TO break the deadlock.
The cry out against the railroad lobby he
thought all buncomb.
Next he showed how Mr.. FAR got his
nomination by his own vote, and exposed
the iniquity OF the bill for the appointment
OF general commissioners OF sales.
Mr.. Massey said he was Nirginian be-
fore lie was Re;idiuster, and that he Is
still one. and he had just commenced thi-
fight. He proposed 10 canvass far and
widc-not for himself, but for Virginia
sor. under the disguise OF liberty, Malone
is ensaying the people.
lie spoke about one hour and thirty-iy'
minutes, and was respectfully heard by
men OF all parties.
