TIE Stockton Independent says the commerce
and trade of that place, and the wheat bust
ness, is being seriously reduced, and steps must at
once be taken to prevent its further decline. Port
Costa and the new narrow-gauge railway and other
projected lines hurt the business Of the city. The
Independent says: "There was time when nearly
all the supplies for the San joaquin valley passed
over the wharves Of this city and merchants had
an extensive trade throughout the southern coun-
ties. That era has, however, passed away" The
paper urges business men and property owners to
awake, not to trus. longer to blind chance and

MALONE AND PAUL DODGE.-In his
speech accepting the nomination for re.
election to Congress from the Richmond
District, Hon. Geo. D. Wise stated that
"he voted for the River and Harbor Bill
in. the first instance, and over the veto
of the President in the second because
1t included $1O,000,000 for objects in
which his people are interested. He
had appealed to John Paul to sustain
him in the effort to pass this measure
over the veto, but Mr.. Paul absented
himself from his seat in the House and
80 did Gen. Mahone."
After quoting the above, the Char
lottesville Jefersonian says:-
Eyes, when the interests of Virginia
were at stake and Mr.. Arthur opposed
those interests, Paul and Malone lodged
and failed to vote for the interests of
Virginia for fear of offending Arthur.
These river and harbor Improvements
il Virginia waters are of The highest inn
portance to the whole State, because
without them we can have no large and
flourishing cities. These cities are
necessary to the prosperity of the in
terror of the country. New York and
other large Northern and Eastern cities
have had millions upon millions appro-
priated out Of the public treasury to inn
prove their several harbors, and these
improvements accomplished Mr.. Arthur
opposes appropriations to Virginia
waters and Malone and Paul decline to
vote for these appropriations because
Mr. Arthur opposes them. This is what
we get by baving Arthur administra
tion men in Congress. Down with all
such traitors to Virginia's interest"

DEATH OF JUDGE MONCURE.-Judge
Richard G.. L. Moncure, president OF
the Supreme Court of Appeals of Vir'
ginia, died at his residence, in Stafford.
last Friday, after long and severe suffer
ing from cancer. Born in the county
in which he died, Judge Moncure had
grown old in the faithful discharge OF
his high judicial charge. and in the
honorable and able practice OF the pro-
fession he chose when admitted to the
bar in 1926. He was elected judge OF
the Court of Appeals of Virginia in
1851. and through thirty long years has
honorably served his State in that ca
pacity.
As the Richmond Dispntch well says:
"Of spotless integrity, noble impulses.
impartial Judgment. and brilliant in-
tellect stored with legal lore, the late
Richard G. l.. Moncnre was man en-
inently qualified to grace the erm1ne
he wore so honorably to himself and
to the State he loved. In his death,
while Virginia bemoans another OF her
illustrious children, she adds one more
to that imperishable galaxy to which
she will ever point with pride and say
with the Roman mother, These are my
ieWels.'O

The Discussion on Yesterday.

The discussion on yesterday in the
Court-house was the most disorderly
that has ever occurred in this place.
This was caused by the fact that Capt.
Paul brought with him on the train
q number of claquers, and the friends
of O'Ferrall resolved to retaliate. The
result was, that it was the most disorder
ly me citing which has ever taken place
In this city. Those who desired to hear,
could not, in consequence of the bois.
ferrous Interruptions. It was not only q
Babel, but Pande,nonium let loose.
O'Ferral showed that Paul was moth
ing more nor less than Republican Of
the worst character, and that those who
would vote for him would vote for an
extreme Arthur Republican. Pau
made great deal of noise, but offered nc
arguments In. defense of his defenselesE
position in favor of the Arthur admin
istratioa. No Democrat, whether Re-
adjuster or not. can consistently vot'
for. him.

MOBILE, August 21.-In Choctaw
county, Ala, Tuesday, the 18th instant.
a bundle of papers disclosing a well-or-
ganized plot among negroes to kill the
entire white population of that county
was found near one of their rendezvous
by two gentlemen. The matter was
laid before the Solicitor. On Wednes-
day the 18th a quiet meeting of citizens
OF Mount Sterling and Butler was called
at Butler to consider the best mode of
suppressing the intended outrage and
massacre. After discussion it was
agreed that the following ringleaders,
Jack Turner. J. D. Barney, Jesse Will
son, Peter Hill. Willis Lyman, Aaron
Scott, and Range West, to whom had
been assigned the duty Of leading squads
to Butler. Mt. Sterling, and Desotoville,
and other places, and killing all of the
whites at each place, should be arrested
and lodged in Jail. Their arrest was eff.
fected on Thursday the 18th without
disturbance or bloodshed. The same dsy
a mass meeting of citizens of all classes
was called for Saturday to decide the
fate of the prisoners. The plot has been
in existence since 1873, and the con-
spirators now number 400. They have
powder, shot, and guns. They think
themselves sufficiently strong to accom-
plish their fiendish design. Sunday
night the 18th of September had been
appointed as the date for its cOmsumma-
ton. The papers further showed that
this day was selected because then the
white people would be at a camp meet
ing unarmed, and could then offer no
resistance. The meeting called for
Saturday brought together about 700,
among whom were about $50 negroes,
who, after having the papers read, by
an almost unanimous vote decided that
Jack Turner was turbulent and dan
gerous character and regular firebrand
in the community, and that the public
safety demanded his immediate death.
He was accordingly hung about Ills P.
M, in the presence of the Assem- bled
multitude The crowd dispersed and
all signs of disturbance ceased. Every
thing was quiet Saturday night. The
other prisoners are still in jail to await
further DEVELOPMENTS,

The Tariff.

The Democrats contend that the tariff
and internal Revenue combined, raising
surplus of one hundred and fifty mil
lions of revenue is revenue system
taxing the people to create fund to be
used for extravaganza and corruption,
and that in doing this, labor, agricul-
ture, and trade are taxed for the benefit
of capital and corporations-thata mo-
nOpoly is made for manufacturers and a
subsidy for corporations, and this can
be proved hey ond the shadow of doubt,
by facts and figures from the reports
made by Federal officials.
The Democrats desire to reform the
tariff and abolish the internal revenue
system and get rid of a corrupting &C
cumulating surplus in the treasury. No
people ought to be taxed to accumulate
public money. How can this be done?
A Abolish the prohibitory features of the
tariff to allow the importations of for
eign goods, giving our manufacturers
the protection afforded by duty that
does not prohibit importation and, in
many cases, this would be from 20 to 40
per cent. ad valorem. This, in all con-
science, is enough profit to make our
own people, who are consumers, the
planters. and farmers, and labOrers, pay
as bonus to protect them and an abun'
dant revenue will be raised. Then it
will enable you to put on the free list
tea and coffee, which we do not raise,
and by putting on luxuries. as silks and
wines, fair tariff, protecting. as above,
revenue will again be raised to relieve
necessaries. This is what the Demo
cratic party desire to do. The Republic
cans and Malone, want high protec-
tive prohibitory tariff which will permit
manu- features to sell at their own price,
keep out all foreign good from compe-
ting, at any price, and raise the revenue
by the tax on tobacco and spirits. The
result is our people, Virginia and the
South will be, in reality. supporting the
whole government-in fact, they do it
now, and have been doing it ever since
the war. The North gets more from the
government directly, in government
salaries, grants and subsidies-more di-
rectly out of the treasury than it pays
in, while every Southern State pays
more in-Virginia ten times as much as
it gets out.-Lymch6urg Advance.

The PRESIDENT AND DEzENpoRF,

The PRESIDENT AND DEzENDpRF.
"A rumor comes from Norfolk to the
effect that Mr.. Dezendorf has been re.
quested by the Administration to with.
draw from the contest in the Second
district 80 as to leave the field to Ma.
homes candidate. 1t is further stated
that Mr.. Dezendorf has gone on to
Washington to see Mr.. Arthur, and
that great inducements will be offered
him to withdraw. A foreign mission is
suggested.
Does it not seem strange that Re.
publican President should desire the
withdrawal of a Republican like De-
zendorf to give place to a follower of
Malone? He seems to prefer the fol-
lowers of Malone to able Republicans,
whose Republican record has been con-
sistent. Will not this open the eyes of
Democratic Readjusters who have been
following Malone? How can any
Democrat longer act with the Malone
party?

JOHN w. DANIEL SUPPORTS MAS
sEY.-On last Tuesday, Hon. John w:
Daniel made a speech at Amber at
Courthouse. From the report of q cor
respondent of the Richmond Dispatch
we extract the following:
"The many Inconsistencies of the
Coalition party were presented in q
manner most clear and fOrcible, and
the ubiquitous tyranny of the petty des-
pot in requiring last fall of the officers
and candidates in the Readjuster ranks
the shameful, or rather shameless, eau.
Gus bonds, W as shown to be a measure
unparalleled in the history of our State,
and measure upon which all honest
and independent freemen must frown.
He then alluded to and extolled the pa.
triotism of the illnstrious tour, and
closed by saying, if asked
FOR WHOM HE WOULD VOTE
in the coming election for Congressman
at-Large he would INTERESTINGLY say
John E. Massey, his old political oppo-
nent, whom he had met and opposed in
many campaigns, and about whom he
had never said anything which he now
wished to abate or retract, for in regard
to the issues that then separated them
they differed now as much as ever, but
in this issue, when our State Is in 80
great danger, threatened to be bound
hand and foot, and put supinely at the
disposal of
AN UNSCRUPULOUS AND SELFISH MAN
to be delivered into the very depths of
Stalwart Republicanism, he thought 1t
his duty, and the duty of all true Dem
ocrats, to go forget past differences as 20
come shoulder to shoulder and secure
the election Of Massey, who with all his
fahlts was a genuine Democrat. The
speech. though short one, contained a
great deal. and made deep impression
upon the large crowd that heard him
in silence almost bresthless, except
when they gave enthusiastic cheers,
evincing their high esteem of the
speaker and their assent to the political
views he expressed"

The DIFFERENCE.-The Boston Post
shows up clearly the difference between
the Democratic and Republican parties
on the tariff and revenue question in the
following paragraph: "The Republi-
cans say that they are certain that the
Democrats are making mistake in Con-
gress, in insisting on a wholesale inc
stead of retail reduction of taxation.
The election can decide it. There are
$3.50, 900, 900 more taxes collected than
are needed. The Democrats appear to
want the whole burden removed. The
Republicans want about one-tenth of it
seemingly removed"

OUR NOMINEE So far as we have
any information on the subject, the
nomination of Col. O'Ferrall by the
Staunton Congressional Convention has
met with unqualified approval, and he
will enter on the canvass with the hear
ty support of his party--with a we'll
assured hope of brilliant victory.
While Col. O'Ferrall was not the first
choice of the eastern part of the Dis
trict, he will receive the hearty support
of the whole party. The delegates rep
resenting all sections of the District were
the best judges of the availability of the
candidates, and we doubt not they were
controlled in making the nomination
with the patriotic desire to select the
standard. bearer who would command
the most strength In the campaign.
Col. O'FerralI is well known through
out the District and the State. He has
achieved an enviable reputation as a
true man and an effective speaker. In
the coming canvass he will effectually
expose the record of Mr.. Paul, and
show how he has misrepreseDted the
interest of his constituents in the Ma
tionel Congress. The people have only
to understand that Mr.. Paul has taken
his position with Malone in the stall
WaFt ftGpuUlICau TALKS WASu thO CyCo
of the voters of the Tenth Legion are
fully opened to this fact, they will re-
pudiate him. The empty boast of Mr..
Paul on the floor of Congress that he
represented district with majority
of ten thousand white voters, while he
was acting with the bitter enemies of
his section, will be made to recoil on
him when O'Ferrall shall have fully
exposed his Congressional record.
We expect Col O'Ferrall to make
brilliant and effective canvass. He is
bearer that will arouse enthu-
siasm am ong the masses. But every
Democratic voter should remember that
he has duty to perform. He must not
only vote himself, but he must work for
his party. Organization and work are
more essential to successful campaign
than public speaking. Let US not, then,
leave all the work to our candidate.
But let our party organize and go to ac-
tive work at once in every neighbor-
hood. If this is done, we may assured
~ expect an old fashioned Democratic
majority in the Tenth Legion next No
