The Fifth District.

The following, from the Washington
correspondent OF the Alexandria Gazette.
is pretty hard on that gentleman OF high
sounding name, the Coalition candidate for
the Fifth district, Winfield Scott:
\ gentleman who was present at the Ma
hone Convention in the Fifth Virginia dis
trict says the Mahoneitcs there are A. much
split up and disOrganized as they are in any
other part OF the state. lie says that the
fact that Malone wrote letter there for
bidding the nomination OF judge Clai-
borne, OF Franklin county, who considered
himself the darl. horse OF the Conven-
ton, has irritated that lizard" worker
and all his friends; that Scott. the
nominee, who is Storekeeper OF the
Penitentiary. is utterly incapable by
lack OF sense, education, and eXpe-
riencc OF conducting a campaign, and
that this was rendered so apparent by bis
speech accepting the nomination that the
man who had seconded his nomination rose
In the Convention and stated that lie had
been mistaken in the identity OF the man he
had supported, and that Scott now realizes
ms llnfitness for the nomination, and will
probably sell out TO Sims, as in the Malone
letter referred to the General said il the
right man was nominated $4,000 would be
sent to the district to help his election.
The gentleman also said that Daniel carried
Franklin county last year by only thirtv-
odd majority, but that Massey will carry IL
next November by over five hundred ma
iority.

Judge Garrison i'm the Field.

HOW HE WILL MAKE MINCE-MEAT OF MAYO IN
THE CANVASS THEY ARE MAKING TOGETHER
COMPLIMENT TO COLONEL SITLINGT0N AND
POLITE ATTENTION TO MALONE.
WEST POINT, Va, August IS, 1882.
To the Editor Of the DiSpGtch:
Hon. George T. Garrison, Democratic
nominee for Congress from this QirSD dis
trict. arrived in town yesterday morning
from Baltimore looking fresh and able for
the canvass. which he entered into imme-
diately on his nomination Friday at Tap
pahannock. His opponent, Colonel Il. n.
Mayo, is also here. They both start for
King William Courthouse to-day, where
they will discuss the issues. Ii Colonel
MayO's speech here Friday night was a
specimen Of his ability and oratOry, feel
sorry for him. Judge Garrison will grind
him to dust, and make him believe when
the canvass is over she has had Il hard
road TO travel" Judge Garrison's road is
clear for reelection. Mayo's speech Fri
day night was sad to be by a prominent
R,adiustCr .'thc worst lie ever heard"
The same gentleman, Mr. Il. w. Spencer,
declared to Judge Garrison that lie was
done with Malone and his party: that
there was too much Stalwart Republican,
ism in it for him. That is right, brother.
We welcome you, aud hope your good eX-
ample may be followed by other good men
who have the interest OF Virginia at heart.
A COMPLIMENT TO COLONEL sITLINGToN.
read with much pleasure a commune
cation from Colonel Charles Sitlington, Of
Bath county, in your paper recently, and
as old Bath is my native county, please
allow me space TO extend my hand to the
Colonel, ard others whom know will take
tie same manly stand in that Gallant old
Democratic county, which has yet never
failed to give a majority for Democracy
when the contest was between the two ma
tIonal parties. Elect by all means Colonel
O'Ferrall, and we OF the First district will
send n representative 10 stand at his side
and vote the entire abolition OF the infer
nal internal-rcvenuc system, which John
Paul aided in defeating by turning out
good southern representatives and putting
IN Stalwart Republicans, who defeated the
measure. Good people OF Virginia, strike
the blow now that will forever kill that old
political miscreant called Billy Malone, the
Boss. Yours, respectfully,

Mahone's Methods.

In the makeup Of MAHONE's character
wherein all the nobler attributes of mar
are subordinated 10 an insatiatc greed fol
power, II there be one trait that would
seem to deserve some slight commentator
1t Is his indomItable energy. He is never
at rest. He is always scheming with his
crafty cunning, and, "likc a thief in the
night" when least expected, his work of
deviitry is done. Like the beaver, he
works increasingly underground, and he
can ever be found toiling in the slums of
human weakness, making abject slaves OF
uniortunates. When his Qudndom COM
patriots are IN open revolt against his ty-
ranny. and are so arousing the people to the
frlghtful nature Of his selfish aims as to
darkiy foreshadow his impending political
ruin, think you this arch DESTROYER Of hui
man conscience, this cunning reader of
human weakness, is supine in fancied Sc
curity OF power! No; he sits in Wash
iDgton for season bleeding the patronage
he so lately distributed and making the
haplcss recipients of his .farorS q bis slaves
and future victims.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Alexandria Gazette says:
General Malone, who is still in the city.
has had all the Virginians in Office here
politely informed that he will be clad II
they call upon him. Ii is understood that
there are many Nirginiaus in Office who hail
from other States, and this invitation oftbe
Generals is ruse to get their names so as !
10 assess them for his election fund. 1t is |
also understood that though in several of |
The congressional districts OF his State men |
hare been nominated who, il has been said.
were moi his favorites, the fact is that every
'ne nominated has been the man he named.
md that the report that his fayortcs have
'een defeated IS only sham TO Offset the
lleet Of The true assertion that he dictates
u the nominations OF his party.

Another Thorn in MaliOnc's Side.

The Baltimore San of yesterday pub
fishes the following:
Mr.. John w. Wolff, n leading Virginia
Republican,, and late postmaster at Frede-
ricksburg, has just returned from a stump
ing tour with Congressman Dezendorf in
the Second congressional district. He SAYS
Dezendorf will get 10 per cent. OF the Re-
publican vote, which will elect him by a
handsome majority. lie also saws the
Straighout Republicans will run candi-
date for Congress in nearly every district
in the State, and that a general fire will be
opened on General Mahone's front bv the
10th OF September. They will make no
war on the cause Of which Malone is the
leader, but upon him individually, for the
reason that che must be crushed or the
liberties of the people will be DESTROYED"
Mir. Volt further SAYS that he PROPOSES TO
show Malone up in few days by written
proofs, and unless he is mistaken the Pres
ident will be convinced that he has been
cheated and imposed upon by the man who
owes all he is to Republican support.
