TRANSPARENT REACHERY.-If, says
the Lynchburg Advance, the Riddle
berger bill will stand the test of the
courts, as its partisans assert, what pre-
text Is there for continuance of the Re-
adjuster party7 None whatever If its
leaders were sincere In their solemn as.
servations before the people. and in the
press. But they were not. They plan
ned and perpetrated systematic decep.
ton. In response to this crucial ques-
ton the Wing has nothing better than
the retort, "what need for the continu-
ance of the Bourbon party?" This ia
no response at all. It is simply special
pleading; paltry, puerile sophism.-
No! the Readjuster leaders have only
made Trojan horse Of the debt ques.
ton. They are political Jesuits. Their
object was spoliation and plumber; theil
principles were addition, division and
silence. 1t was so from the beginning,
Is now, and ever shall be world without
end, so long as there Is breath in the
body Of these double-faced, perfidiouE
schemers. Is not their duplicity anG
treachery transparent to child, now
that they would lure their credulous fol
lowers into the Republican party; OF
into Support Of the administration, 81
they sugar-coat tbs nauseous nostrum
But the brazen attempt will never sue
coed. The hour for revolt has COME
The bold, bad, recreant impostors ant
false.prophets who would thus dishono
and destroy their own people will b.
overwhelmed with obloquy and execra
ton; their names and memories canon
lied in the scorn and contempt of man
kind. a.

MALONE, A RADICAL REPUBLICAN.
AS the Baltimore Sun says, on Mon
day Of last week. when vote was taken
in the Senate upon bill by which it
was proposed to repeal the section of the
Revised Statutes which forbids the ap-
pointment Of any one who had been In
the civil or military service of the Con-
federate States to any Office, commits
stoned or non-commissioned, in the
United States military or naval service,
Senator Malone sided with his new al
lies in their efforts to kill the bill. and
perpetuete the unfair discrimination un-
der which citizens of Virginia have so
: long suffered. The Congressional Re.
cord is authority for chasing the Gener-
al with those who, like Senator Ed
munds, Of Vermont, think "there ought
to be monument" In the government
statute book condemnatory of the stand
: taken by the people of Virginia in the
civil war. Senator Malone paired with
Senator Jones, of Florida, who favored
the repeal of the obnoxious statute
Thus, in effect, Senator Malone de,
clared that In becoming republican he
became radical one.

A CONVERT TO DEMOCRACY.-Hon.
John A. MINIS, prominent Alabama
Republican, and lately judge Of the
City Court of Montgomery, has pub
lished letter announing his with
drawal from the Republican party and
giving adhesion to the Democratic par
ty. Judge Minis learns that official
patronage Is to be one of the chief fac
tors in building up party In opposition
to the Democratic party In Alabama
and to this he is utterly opposed for two
reasons: First, the man who is the
mouthpiece in Alabama is the worst
man in it, politically, of any party
secondly, it is wrong In principle
Judge Minis continues: whenever
you make the government an Office
machine you have one head boss, with
sub.bosses, ETC.; you convert our glori
GUS government of the people into The
most odious and corrupt aristocracy thu
world ever saw; worse than Rome evel
saw in its most corrupt times, and as ty.
rannical, SO far as the real people arr
concerned, as the feudal lords of Europe
in feudal times. But no such policy
can succeed as long as the people have
capacity for self-government, and hon.
est patriotism and courage to maintain
It,"

ENCOURAGING Accounts from va ri.
GUS quarters of the State represent the
DETECTION from Malone to be very ex-
tensive and daily increasing An intel
ligent gentleman from Rockingham,
who visited Charlottesville last Mon
day, end who has himself retired from
the Malone concern with digust, In
forms us that there has been q wonder
full disintegration in that county. The
old Tenth Legion of Democracy cannot
be wheeled into the stalwar Republican
column. Our Intelligence from High
land is to the same effect. The leading
Readjrsters of that county repudiate the
the Boss and bossism In our own
county we have daily instances OF men
heretofore active and leading Readjus-
tiers who declare their willingness to
follow Malone further. The premature
announcement of the purpose Of the
leaders to elect administration members
of Congress opened the eyes of the
Democratic Readjusters, and they see
Mahoneism as they have never seen it
before The days of the reign of the Boss
are numbered. Charlottesville Chronicle

FATAL William Ham,
man, son Of Mr.. George M. Hannah,
of Toms Brook, about six miles north
Of Woodstock, met with terrible acct
dent on Thursday evening a week,
about dark, resulting in his death in
about an hour. He had gone down into
the lower part of his fathers mill to see
if the trundlehead of the burr was heat
ing, and in reaching over was caught
by his clothing and drawn between the
cogs. The jar was such as to throw a
portion of the machinery out of gear.
His brother. who was on the floor
above, at once stopped the mill and ran
to his assistance. but was obliged to call
his father to help him. When gotten
out it was found that the unfortunate
young man had been torn open from a
point above the right hip diagonally
across the abdomen down into the left
thigh, being literally disemboweled.

The Milton Chronicle tells the people
of North Carolina 'should any of you
want office so very badly as to desire to
go over to the Radical party to get it
go like white men in the broad day
light, and not like sneaks. under the

vice, and we commend it to the Vir-

John Paul voted to GUST Gen. Chal-
mers from his seat in Congress, that it
might be given to the negro Republican,
Lynch; but "the Red Fox" lodged on
the final vote, and could not be induced
to face the music. So the Readjuster
delegation from Virginia, in the lower
House stood one for seating the negro {;
and the other, for; ehall we say it,
for Fulkerson. for the neat Congress.

David Davis and Malone both voted
in the Senate Thursday with the Re.
publicans to refer to the Judiciary Com
mittee the bill to relieve Confederate
soldiers from inability to serve as Of
ficers in the Army and Navy. This ref
erence, of course, kills the bill, which,
but for their votes, might have been
passed. It is an ugly thing to see gen.
eral of the Confederate army, who owes
everything to that army, and himself
enjoys one of the highest offices In the
Government, voting to keep his COM
rades out of employment.

WHIPPING. POST LAw.-The repeal
of.the whipping-post law went into ef-

may expect our jails to be filled with
offenders, who commit petty larceny,
at the expense Of the taxpayers. The
criminals will have a good time prison
whilst the people pay for their support.
It will be good time for jailors and
thieves. but will be hard upon the PEG.

ACCIDENT TO A FREIGHT CONDUC-

says that, on Saturday week, "about
O'Clock. Mr.. J. R. Cochran, freight con.
ductor, fell from his caboose, receiving
some very bad cuts and bruises. He and
his rear brakeman were sitting in the
caboose looking out at opposite sides,
and on reaching Loup creek, the brake
man called him to come to his side of
the car and see some ladies who were
playing croquet. He crossed the ca
boose to the other door, which was
shout half ahut, auS, or reaching out his
baud to catch hold of the door one of the
brakemen showed it wide open, causing
him to miss his hold and throwing him
from the car. The train was running
between 80 and IS miles an hour. 1t
seems like miracle that he was not in
stantly killed, and, strange to say, not a
bone was broken. He was brought to
Hinton, and is being very comfortably
cared for at the New River Hotel"

Nothing that Boss Malone has done,
since he went to the Senate, has excited
such intense indignation in this COM

his old companions in arms. 1t was a
shameful vote, and while it may COM
mend him to Stalwarts, will drive
many an Confederate Readjuster

people in this country are negroes, an,
are properly so-calIed. We never cal
them "niggers," which they consider ,
term of reproach. They are negroes
for that term designates their race
which means that they are black. In
tslligent negroes prefer to be called ''ne
groes," and that is the term that we al
ways use when we wish to distinguish
them from the whites.

ceive the cordial support of Democrats.
