MnllOne's Mistake.

Another northern Republican journal
shows up Mahone's questionable methods
of perpetuatin2 his power. Under the
above capitatlon the Philadelphia Press
says:
The Press was the first journal in the
North to sustain and encourage General
Malone in his Virginia revolution. 1t
welcomed this bold and dashing assault
from the Democratic lines on the Demo
cratic Bourbon bulwarks. 1t hailed the
liberal and progressive movement which
aimed to overthrow the old, cntrenched,
despotic power that was based on prOscrip-
ton. fraud. and ignorance. General Ma
hone proclaimed free ballot, fair count,
equal rights, and common schoOls-above
all H. proposed to dethrone the Bourbon
ism that had dominated and desolated the
Southland we were glad to support tins
work of emancipation.
But when General Malone undertakes to
follow the IIubbcll order TO stand and de-
liver with another five per cent. ransom
the Press is bound to condemn the perform
ance as impolitic, uniuStifiablc, and
odiOus. 1t brings reproach upon cause
which, with all the merit OF breaking down a
tyrannical oligarchy. has phases which leave
little room for this additional strain. This
whole business Of arbitrary assessments
has become offensive to the American pcO-
pie. It's wrong in principle, oppressive
in practice. dcmOralizing in its influence,
md utterly cOrrupting in its effect. 1t
treats the public service as the mere spOils
Of politics-makes the public officer the
AFFECT dependent OF party managers
wipes out the narrow margins Of mea@re
irresponsible and illc-
Ultimate superintendent contributes in
to that degrading and sordid
tone both OF politics and Of the civil service
from which the country must find way of
1Scape.
1t was bad enough TO levy the arbitrary
wo per cent. assessment upon the whole
cope Of the public service; il is still worse
o follow this machine which rakeS 50 clean
With another that in its own range under
axes to scrape up more than double the

rom one State, it may be made from all ii
{ may come from the National and state
,hairmen, it may he taken up by the local
chairman or the member OF Congress; and
With these successive demands il becomes
not merely a public scandal but a severe
hardship. If cause has sunk to a point
where this must be its reliance, it has sad
need Of being hauled of for repairs. When
It is strong and sound and Just, ii will find
ample response to an appeal for popular

lie MAKES A POOR But INOFFENSIvE SPEECH
THE COUNTY FOR MR.. MASSEY AND COLONEL
CABELL.
HALIFAX COUNTY, VA, August %, 1882.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Yesterday was our court-day, and, ac.
cording TO previous announcement, Hon
ii. ii. Riddleberger, United States senator
elect, was on hand TO speak on the political
issues of the day. About II O'Clock the
crowd collected around the speakers
stand, and after an introduction by Captain
+. b. Jeflress, Mr.. Riddlebergcr began by
touching lightly on the settlement of the
State debt made by the last General Assem-
bly,. He then went on TO tell about the
congressional apportionment bill, and said
that he helped TO draw up that bill, and
would say now, and defy any one to deny
II, that the congressional districts pro-
vided for in il were more compact than
they are as they now stand. Nobody
denied it. As everybody knows so we'll
that such is not the case, no one thought
ii worth while TO correct it. He next ey-
planned the provisions OF the commissioners
of-sales bill, and told OF the innumcrable
benefits it would have been to the people
had it been allowed to become a law.
Then the Big -Four were subjected to the
usual TRADE made against them, and {" Old
Man Massey that great thorn that is
sticking deep i'll the Boss's side-came in
for his share, too, though his talk against
Massey was not abusive or disrespectful.
rs he said that "Mr. Massey was a good
old man, and he did not intend to speak i'll
of him."
No one replied TO Mr.. Riddleberger,s
speech, as nobody thought il worth repIv-
ing 10. III was pronounced TO be the moor.
est speech made at Halifax Courthouse for
many long day. 1t lasted about one hour
ana half, and was devoid OF interest all
through, and fell stll-born upon those who
heard 1t. No applause was elected, EXCEPT
TWO OF Three times the speaker was feebly
applauded by about dozen white men
VINO mad seats upon the stand, and who
wear the BOSS brass collar. Quite large
audience collected TO hear the speech. but
before II was finished at least half of il was
gone. Such is the beginning OF the Ma
none canvass in Halifax, and il is hoped
that 1t will end as it has began-by accom-.
plishing nothing.

Mr.. WINFIELD SCOTT, who is the Cosli-
hion candidate for Congress in the Fifth
district, is the General Agent and Store
keeper Of the Pententiary. He is probably
not a great orator, but he can entertain
both Coalitionlsts and Democrats if he will
only tell them in their public meetings
what he has told many people here about
the sale Of places at the penitentiary by
members Of the Legislature. One or more
OF the caucus members to whom places
were assigned at the penitentialy sold the
same and got the money. At least so Mr..
SCOTT charged, and he pledged himself to
prove it. The Board Of Directors OF the
institution made lengthy investigation of
his charges; but the result thereof has not
been announced, and until it is you are at
liberty TO believe either that Mr.. SCOTT
slandered the Legislators or that he estab-
lished his charges.

the reason for his dismissal, but he wrote
MALONE letter OF inquiry on the subject,
and MALONE, for his own purposes. answer
ed. OF course he knew that his answer
would be published, but still the brassiness
Of II is something amazing, when II Is re-
membered that for five months "our most
excellent senator" deserted his seat In the
Senate and came here to manage the Legis-
lature.
As he has treated Mr.. WOLFF so will he
treat every other follower, be he Republic
can or alleged Democrat. What he wants
Is obedience, not independence. All who
cannot give him that had Just as well leave
him now. II the hinges Of their knees are
not supple enough they should be oiled for
the occasion, for nowhere else OH earth
does such thrift as he bestows require
such immoderate fawning.

A Republican Bounced"

Mr.. WOLFE is one Of the Republicans
who helped MALONE attain his present
dizzy eminence, and in a letter which we
publish to-day he tells, with some exuber-
ance OF detail, how "our most excellent sen.
ator" has requited his services. Gratitude
is q word Of honest and valiant sound. but
the politician who becomes boss ALWAYS
carefully expunges II from his practice
he has no need TO tear il from his heart. for
ii was never there.
Though it will not cause MALONE 10
blush to hear himself reproached with in
gratitude, it is relief to Mr.. WoLrz 70 be
allowed to show that he served an unde.
serving man, and that In his "bounced
condition he heartily repents it.
Mr.. WoLTz held clerkship In the Inte-
rior Department. The position was So.
