Col. James Il. Skinner In Highland.

It affords US pleasure to announce to
our friends in Highland county that
they will have the great pleasure of hear
ing a good speech from Col. James 81.
Skinner at their Courthouse on Tues
day, (court day., the 18th of September.
We hope that the citizens of that gallant
little county will turn out in full force
to hear the words of truth and sober
ness" that will fall from the eloquent
lips of this gallant and patriotic citizen,
who is sans pear, sans reproche, and
hope they will heed his words of wis
dom and patriotism, and will do their
duty at the polls by voting for the DEM
ocrats, Massey and O'Ferrall, in oppo-
sition to the Republicans, Wise and
Paul. Highland should vote for Demo-
Gratis and not for Republicans, and we
hope she will do so. Paul deceived
many of her citizens in the last election
tor Congressional was his fault if he
shall deceive them again, 1t will be their
fault. Paul is an extreme Republican,
though many supported him in the last
election believing him to be a Democrat.
Actions speak louder than professions,
and his votes in Congress show that he
is Republican of the most extreme
type. and he is endorsed by all the Re
publicans in the District. Will any
Democrat aid the Republicans to re-
elect him?

SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER

The REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATE.-The
Rev. Mr.. Dawson is good looking. dig.
nifed colored man, almost white, and
speaks well. He said last night that he
was born In Virginia, and received
education enough from white people in
this State who had pluck enough to
teach a niger, to qualify him to enter
Oberlin College," He said some good
things, among others, .'that the Read.
juster party could not take care of itself.
much less OF the negroes" Upon being
asked, "h0w about the Democrats Pr b a
replied: "The Democrats can take care
of themselves" He thought that the
Readjuster party had done nothing for
the negroes, but that the latter had done
everything for them" He detained
against the tyranny of the Boss, and
knew the people of Virginia well en- uph
to know that when attempts were made
to Cypress them. they would rise In their
might to overthrow the oppressor. This
he felt sure, would be the fate of Ma
hone.
Mr.. Dawson had the ear of the better
class of his hearers, though he said that
there was more disorder and turbulence
In the crowd than he ever encountered
before; and no wonder, for some of
them, 1t was said, had been piled with
whiskey by the mongrel leaders, for the
special purpose of creating disorder. and
we presume they were drunken negroes
who cried out, TRAITOR" and "cr1cify
him." Lester well said these negroes
had been put up to this misconduct by
white men who were not worthy to as
sOciate with them" True enough

Those who remember that President
Arthur, when Vice. President, went to
Albany, and, like q ward politician,
IObbied for the Ie-electioii of his friend
Mr.. Conkiing. are not surprised at the
report that he is now going on an cleo
pioneering tour in this State, in order. if
possible, to check the detection in the
ranks of the Republican allies of Gen.
eral Mahone's party, which, if allowed
to proceed. will effect the speedy disso~
luton of that entire party. That the
President is not a wise man is proved
by the silly bargain he made with Gen.
eral Malone, but that he is foolish
enough to pursue his reported intended
course is hardly conceivable. He
couldn't please his worst enemies better
than by carrying out his reported in
tention The Baltimore american in
reference to the report alluded to says
that with all the Presidents short. COM
ings he has never yet committed no
great a. folly as to promenade through Il
State election campaign fanked by two
ex Confederate regulators, who have
been lording it over the Republicans of
Virginia until resistance became q ga
cred duty. Nothing could 80 much
weaken all claims to respect for Arthur
throughout the Republican States as to
see him make him himself such q re-
pudiators' side show. The report, there
fore, is to be accepted rather as to &hct
the Richmond Readjusters hope for
than as what they have secured. 1t
was, perhaps, gotten up to Offset the
feeling of joy among the Republicans
of Virginia that Blaine has made their
cause his cause, aud that victory awaits
them. "-AlerunGri0 Gazette.

Some of the papers are blaming John
s. Wise for "cussing" when he speaks.
That is somewhat excusable in view OF
the desperation of his cause.-Richnaond
Dispatch.
Johnny should not swear as he does,
but should submit with meekness to the
judgment of the people, who prefer
John E. Massey to John s. Wise, for
Massey is Democrat whilst Wise is q
Republican, and, like John Paul, be-
longs to the worst wing of the Republic
can party-the Arthur wing-and calls
himself an Arthur administration man.
Paul and Wise are extreme Republicans,
and do not deserve the support of any
man who is Democrat, whether Read
juster or Funder.

At the conclusion of Mr.. Wise's
speech at Pittsylvania Court. house last
week, to which the crowd had given a
most respectful hearing. calls were
made for Mr.. Munford, who came for
ward to the stand, when the first en-
thusiasm of the day was exhibited.
This seemed to infuriate Wise, who de-
clared it was his meeting and that he
intended to reply to any one who might
speak, but the crowd, not needing him,
continued to call for Munford. At this
he became still more Infatuated, and
turning to the crowd he said
Howl! damn you, howl; I have
heard the howl of funders before; by
God will stand here till the crack of
doom but that you shall hear me, and
unless you hear me I will make my
party (pointing to the colored troops)

General Mahone's Richmond organ
denounces ''the discarded serving men
who are now f1ocking to one or the 9th.
er Of the funder Standards" No matter
what other imperfection the organ re-
ferred to may have, it is not blind, and
it therefore can't help seeing the patent
fact that its party is rapidly dissOlvipg
and its component elements returning
to their original condition, the Demo-
cratic Readjusters returning to the
Democratic fold, and the Republican
allies going back to the straightout Re-
publican camp. Whether those who
are thus "fockingn away from the Ma.
honeites are discarded serving men,"
or men who having seen the error of
their way are coming back to the right
path, Is unknown to the public, but the
latter is the case with most of those of
whom the Gazette has any direct
knowledge. But the ''fiocking" hav-
ing commenced, and 80 apparent that
General Mahone's own organs are COM
PEELED to acknowledge it, will, like
grace, increase day by day until at the
roll call In November all that will be
left in the Malone ranks will be those

tgDEATH OF AN EsTIMABLE LADY
The sad news reached us Monday Of the
death of Mrs. M. E. Hicks, in Bedford
county. The death was not entirely
unexpected. Mrs. Hicks had been
quite i'll for some weeks with painful
and, as it proved, fatal disorder She
died OH Saturday night She was q
daughter of the late Addison M.upin,
of this place. and q niece of DR.. Socra-
ties Maupin, late of the University. She
was lady of cultivation and refine
ment, a consistent Christian, and was
beloved and esteemed by all with whom
she came in contact. For some years
past she was the Matron of the Albe-
marie Female Institute. and no greater
can be paid her character
than the assertions of the young ladies
to her care-"She's as sweet
as she can be."-Chor. Chronicle

A number of Readjusters of King
George announced their purpose to sup
port Massey. This is what honest Dem
ocratic readjusters are doing all over the
State. They recognize Massey as Dem
ocrat, whom they can consistently sup
port, whilst they recognize John 8. Wise
as Republican of the stalwart stripe
whom they annotsupport. Democrat
