TUESDAY, JANUARY "a, 1882.
Caucus Tyranny.

Rev. John e. Massey, of Albemarle,
the Auditor of Public Accounts, who
is not only one of the ablest men in
the Readjuster party, but pioneer, who
has done more for it than any other
man, and whose praise as Auditor every
Readjuster has been DINING into the
ears of all since he has been in office,
was decapitated on last Tuesday night
by the Coalition Caucus, and 8. Brown
Allen nominated in his stead, because
Massey would not consent that the eau
Gus should dictate who his clerks should
be. He agreed by way of compromise,
that the caucus might select half of
them, but this was not satisfactory, and
he was turned out of office because he
would not obey the behests of King
Caucus. Now this spectacle is present
ed: An Auditor whose efficiency was
in the mouths of every Readjuster in
the State, is turned out of office. because
he will not yield wholly to the dicta
ton of the caucus as to who should be
his clerks. Was the tyranny of party
caucus ever exhibited in this way be-
fore? The truth is, that Malone and
Riddleberger looked upon Massey as a
rival, and they We're determined either
to humiIiate or to sacrifice him, and
Massey preferred sacrifice to humilia
ton and degradation. Unless we great
ly mistake his character and influence
with his party, Massey will yet demon
strate that his party has made mistake
in thus mistreating him. It may be
that Massey will give Hon. John Pau
cause to regret that his party has thus
disposed of him. He would, no doubt
likefo be elected Congressman. /
P Sat the time the above was writ
ten, Richmond Journal had reported
that Massey had proposed as a com
promise to the caucus that the caucus
should appoint one-half of his clerks
and he the other half, which was, 0
course. surrender of the principle in
volved in this contest, but it seems that
this proposition was made in caucus by
Turner, of Norfolk, a friend of Massey
without his consent, and in justice tt
Massey we make the correction. A
the Auditor and his securities are re
sponsible for the conduct of his clerks
it would seem to be evident that tn
Auditor should have the appoin tmen
of them. In this case, Massey has RICH
upon his side, and ne is acting upon
proper principle in resisting the unjus
demands of the caucus. But the caucu
has no regard for principle and will no
hesitate to violate it, if Malone so di
reefs. .-,.-. :. IL -..--

How TO SAVE THE SHEEP. -The
New York San says the farmers of Hun
terdon and Somerset counties, New Jer-
sey, use goats to protect their sheep. 1t
is claimed that two goats can and will
drive away dozen dogs, and thus ef-
fectualiy protect the flock from their
ravages. As soon as q dog enters the field
at night, the goats attack him, and their
butting propensities are too much for
the canine, and he soon quits the field,
limping and yelling Formerly when
dog entered sheep field at night tsays
the Sun,) the sheep would run wildly
around and cry piteously. Since the
goats have teen used to guard them,
they form in line behind the goats and
seem to enjoy the fun The idea OF
utilizing goats in this way came from
the West, where they are put in sheep
pens to drive away wolves.

Though Massey has made an efficient

suppose that he will be guillotined o.
his party, at the dictation of Malone
because he will not consent that ths
caucus should designate his CLERKS
while he and his sureties are response
ole for their conduct. Upon this ques'
ton, Massey occupies true ground, an(
if defeated, it will be in violation Of
principle. No objection is made to the
conduct of himself or his clerks, and i
he is the good officer that bis party has
claimed him to be, there can be no gooC
reason for turning him out. 1t will bt
due to the fact that Malone is jealous o
