A READJUSTER POSTMASTER WHO
SUPPORTS MASSEY DECAPITATED.-
For some time past the post office at
Massanutten, in this county, has been
in state Of uncertainty. Mr.. e. b.
Grove has been postmaster at that point
for some time, and his removal was
desired by the Boss. We say "by the
Boss" of curse his lieutenants desired
it too, because when the Boss fiddles
they all lance. The people who live in
the neigh'Oorhood, and who are accom-
modated by the Office, did not desire it,
unless the will of the Boss was the
father Of the desire.
Mr.. Grove was born and raised In this
county, and we have no hesitation in
saying that more moral and correct
young man cannot be found in the
State. Was he competent to attend to
the duties of postmaster? His incom-
potency has never been and cannot be
alleged. In fact, he was polite, atten-
tive, and punctual. and every duty was
faithfully and honestly discharged
Then why the necessity for his removal :?
He had voted with the Readjuster party,
but is unwilling to follow Malone {;
and the debt question not now being an
issue, he could see no reason for the ex-
istence longer of the Readjuster party.
This is his only sin, this his only Of
fence against Boss William, the Grand
Mogul of Virginia. politics The diff
Guilty that appeared was that no Read
juster In the neighborhood would take
the appointment and attend to the Of
flee. There are those who were willing
to take the appointment If Mr.. Grove
would keep the Office at his store ard
attend to it, thus furnishing unques-
tionable evidence that the people were
not disc atisfied with the management
of the Office. This, however, Mr.. Grove
declined to do. A few days since he
was informed that it would be better for
him to consent to do so, as it had been
determined TO close up the office if no
appointee could be found to take the
Office and attend to it. We pronounce
this the meanest, dirtiest, and MOST
contemplate piece of political trickery
that has ever come under our observa
ton. Unworthy Of any lover of good,
honest government, it deserves nothing
but the contempt of the peOple.-Pdge
NeaOs.
The nomination of Col. Charles T.
O'Ferrall, as q candidate for Congress
in the 18th District, gives satisfaction
not only in the District, but throughout
the State. The Colonel's gallantry il.
war won for him reputation for cour-
age second to that of no soldier in the
Confederate army. His ability as
lawyer. his bold and aggressive cam
paign against Mahoneism and Radical
ism in former campaigns, bis devotion
to the Democratic party emineutly fiji
him for the position which he DOW
holds. He is man that the Malone
ties can always find, but they never put
themselves to extra trouble to meet
him. No man that we know could
bring out stronger Democratic support
in this District than O'Ferrall.-Meza-

ADDRESS OF CHARLES SITLINGTON, OF
BATH.

Mr.. Charles Sitlington, who was one
of the delegates from Bath county in
the convention that nominated Col.
O'Ferrall, has published an address to
the citizens of his county, from which
we extract the following:
1.-THE last Legislature belonged to
Malone. I was myself 'Readjuster
in the cool, as you are all aware, but
finding my party was vending its way
blindly into the Republican oligarchy,
seeing the way it was tending, took a
chill, cooled out, and made my exit in
time to save my credit, provided there
was any, which I conscientiously be
lieved there was, but none now.
I wish to show how some of the voters
of the southern States were treated by
Arthur and his minions, and what re-
spect was shown to them by the Radi-
cal party in the last House Of Represent
atives. You are aware, no doubt, that
there were good many contested seats
in that body. The Committee of Privi.
leges and Elections, of which commit
tee John Paul is No. 9, had to report on
their credentials. Here is a record:
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1882-08-29

Hon. John E. Massey had an ap-
pointment to speak at Abingdon, WASH
ington county, on yesterday, which we
suppose he met. There is now but little
doubt of his election, and it is certainly
the duty of every Democrat, whether
Readjuster or not, to vote for him and
to work for him. Democrats of all
shades of opinion should give him a
cordial support.

HANGING IN SEATTLE.

The telegraph announces the hang.
ing of three men in Seattle last week
under the following circumstances. Two
men came to Seattle and the evening
after their arrival they accostsd sever
al persons and demanded of them their
money, but the parties assailed escaped.
They accosted clerk Of one of the
mercantile houses on his return from
supper, and ordered him to throw up
his arms. He, instead Of doing 30,
reached for his revolver, whereupon
one Of the men shot him, from which
wound he died in about two hours. The
murderers fed through the streets and
secrsted themselves but were soon
found and examined before = magistrate
early next morning, Judge Green
sitting with the magistrate, and
the men were held to answer before
the Grand Jury for murder. While
the examination was in progress, hun
dreds of people ON the outside were
preparing gallows, and as soon a. the
examination was over. strong men seiz.
ed the officers Of the court and held
them fast, while others took the muir.
dersrs out and in ten inmates after
wards they were hanging by the neck
dead. Tho vigilanties then proceeded

gagged in the affair.
