Scalawags.

"Scalawags" are verminous, shabby
scabby, scrubby, scurvy cattle. There.
fore there is q manifest fitness in call
ing the native Southerner, of white
complexion, who adopts the politics Of
the Radical party, a Scalawag. It il
not so much so because he is for negro
equality and all that stuff, that he il
and should be called Scalawag, but
because he renounces all his previous
professions and practices, sinks from
his own. color and kindred, and fore
gathers with dirty freedmen. to gain
whose favor and votes he maligns all
respectable citizens and incites the col
ored rabble to all sorts of absurd preten
siOns, or worse, to deeds of violence ano

A READJUsTER DEFEAT. THE Re-
Adjusters sustained a defeat in the Leg
islature Thursday. The bill which
passed the House few days before re-,
ducing the number of judicial circuits
In the State from eighteen to twelve
came up in the Senate Thursday, and
was defeated by vote Of 20 to II,
Messrs Newberry, Williams and Hale,
Readjusters, and Mr.. Wingfeld, of
Hanover, Straightout Repu blican, vot
ing with the Democrats against the
measure, The first three were mem
beers of what is known as the Senate
big four, who made such determ-
lined fight for Auditor John E. Massey
a few weeks ago. The bill rejected in
the Senate Thursday was one OF the
measures adopted by the caucus, and
by its leaders regarded as of prime i'm.
portance. Had it succeeded in running
the gauntlet of the. "big FOUR in that
body, 1t was the intention Of the Read
tusters to GUST all the Democratic circuit
judges In the State and fill their places
With Mahoneites. The bill cannot come
mp again at this session.

The action of Mr.. Wilcox, heretofore
8 ReadjusteI Democrat, in the Virgins
State Senate yesterday, In boldly avow
ing himself a member of the National
Republican party is nOtsa at all surpris
ing and only shows that he foresees the
speedy collapse of Mahoneism. and that
having forfeited all claim to preferment
by Democrats he seeks it from the Re

to have been all the time. OF course
they will tumble in with the bloody
shirt shriekers, the haters and revilers
of the South. Their master, Malone,
is there and they will follow. But one
thing they cannot do. They cannot
take the honest, virtuous Readjuster
masses of Virginia into that foul con-
tamination. They did not start out to
be made Radicals of, and the leaders
will march in and surrender without
commands. The people are not cattle

the name of Andrew Antoni against E
