VOTE FOR MASSEY.-It is the duty of
every Democrat, whether Readjuster or
not, to vote for Massey in preference to
John s. Wise, for Massey will vote with
the Democrats, and John S. Wise will
vote with the Stalwart Republicans. As
the Lynchburg Adpance says, if DEM
ocrat "votes for John s. Wise, nomina-
ted by Malone and Rives and endorsed
by the Republican National Committee
and Arthur. he parts with his Demo-
cracy, and ought tojoin the..stalwart Re-
publican party. All who thus act sup
port Mahone-submit to Mahone-and
like Malone, like Riddleberger, like
Cameron, like Wise, will end open,
avowed Radicals. It will be miracle
if they do not. The end will be by and
by, and where one Democrat thus bids
a long farewell to his party and friends,
one hundred Readjuster Democrats,
who, by local issues and party excite
ment, have been unwittingly led to the
verge of Radicalism. have halted, con-
sidered-have thought of the past, and
remembering reconstruction and mill
tary rule, and 1859, and '73 and '76, have
cried out "shoulder arms, about face,
forward march," and with right
shoulder shift, are on their way to the
polls to vote for Massey and the Demo-
cratic Congressman"

The Bad and Worthless

are never initiated or coaster7eited. This is es-
pecially true of family medicine and it is
positive proof that the remedy initdtedis of the
highest value. AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world that Hop Bit
ters was the purest, besA and most valuable
family medicine on earth, many limitations
sprung up and began to steal the notices in
which the press and people of the country had
expressed the merits OF II. B.. and in every
way trying to induce suffering invalids to
use their stuff instead, expecting to make
money on the credit and good name of 81. B.
Many others started nostrums put up in SINH
lar style to H. B., with vartously devised
names in which the word "Hop'' or "Hops''
were used in a way to induce people to believe
they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no matter what
their style or name is, and especially those
with the word "Hop'' or Hops" in their name
or in any way connected with them or .their
name, are limitations or counterfeits. Beware
of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing
but genuine Hop Bitters. with q bunch or clus-
ter of green Hops on the white label. Trust
nothing else. Druggists and dealers are warned
against dealing in limitations or counterfeits.

A POLITICAL. RIOT IN SOUTH CARO-.
LIMA Charleston, S. O., September %.
"A special to the Ne,Us and Courier from
Lancaster says: A political meeting
was held here yesterday and was ad-
dressed by Col Cash. About the close
of the meeting difficulty arose at the
stand between q white Democrat and q
colored man, which resulted in the for
mer being wounded in the head by q
blow with stick or stone. At this time
two or three pistol shots were fired near
the stand, but no one was hurt. Soon
after this large PROCESSION of colored
men on horseback came upon the streets,
one of the number having large pistol
buckled around his body. The negro
pointed the pistol at white man and
said: "There's the id rascal who did
the shooting" The white man gave
him the lie, and the colored man drew
his pistol and fired at him; Immediately
several shots were fired by white men,
and the colored man fell dead. A num-
Der of shots were then fired by white
and colored men, and three other color
ed men were killed and many wounded.
Tie authorities soon succeeded in re-
storing quiet, which now prevails. It
is believed that the trouble is over.

REPUBLICANS EATING CROw.-The
Republicans who will vote for John s.
Wise, after his terrible denunciation of
them as wholly devoid of principle, will
eat large dish of boiled crow. 1t would
seem that in making John s. Wise the
coalitionist candidate for congressman
at large, it was Mahone's purpose to hui
initiate the Republicans as much as pos
sible. No man could be more objection
able to them than John s. Wise, and
yet, at the dictation of Malone, they are
required to vote for him. They must
eat crow when the Boss puts the dish
before them, and they must do it with
out making wry face, and must smack
their lips and vow that they like it.

Post reporter, Senator Voorhees,, of In

both be carried by the Democrats this

is bright. The signs of the times point
almost enthusiastically to the success not
only this year but in 1884. Let every
Democrat in Virginia determine to do
all in his power to bring about this de.
sirable result On the 9TH of November

A BRAKEMAN KILLED.-We learn
from the Mountain Herald that about
o'clock a. m. on Saturday week, at
Paint Creek bridge. Mr.. Fred McCreery
was knocked from the freight train upon
which he was braking, and killed. The
manner of his death is not known pos.
itively, as he was not missed until the
train reached Cannelton. A search was
then made and his dead body found a
few hundred yards east of Paint Creek
bridge. 1t is supposed that he was
knocked off by striking the bridge, as
he left the engine and started back over
the train to the caboose. His remains
were buried at Hinton on the next day
Sunday.
WILL DEMOCRATS VOTE FOR REPUB-
LICANs.-Our young friend of the Valley
Virgiaidn, Mr.. Jacob Yost, made a
speech in Harrisonburg on last Tuesday
night, in favor of the coalition ticket.
He is Republican i'atus ct in cute, and
will Democratic Readjusters, or any
other kind of Democrats, vote as he ad-
vises? We do not wonder that he, be-
ing Republican, supports Wise and
Paul, for they are Stalwart Republicans;
but it would be surprising if any DEM
ocrat should do go. The fact that Re-
publicans support Wise and Paul should
be sufficient to convince Democrats that
they should not.

For the SPECTATOR.
The Power of Malone.

Nothing can give the public better
idea of the unlimited power which the
Boss of the Coalition party exercises
over its members than the following
significant incident:
About a year ago the Valley Nirgin-
ian, in speaking of the Readjuster party.
used the following strong language:
sThe inordinate and insane greed for
office-whether with honor or emo!u-
ment or either, or not-exh1bited by
the Readjusters, was absolutely disgust
ing. The delirium of success seemed to
turn their head inside out, and with an
inpudence and insulting arrogance the
like of (Which, eveaa IN O. miniature de-
gree, we haze never before knoa0n, they
grabbed, with insatiate NAV. for every
crumb in the present or prospective,
both State and National. appropriating
to themselves everything they could
command-totally insensible to the COM
mon decencies and proprsetses Of potsts-
cal association, and without considers
ton for their past and future identity"
How different is the position and Ian
guage of the Nrgiaiom now? But little
more than year has elapsed, and the
Trginiasa is now the vociferous and
unqualified defender of the Boss and
all his actings and doings, which there
tofore had been so offensive to it? What
has wrought this wonderful conversion ?
Of course, we could not venture to sug-
gest that the fact that the Boss is now
the recognized dispenser of Federal
patronage had anything to do with it |!
After such an onslaught on the Boss, it
would be unreasonable for its author to
expect forgiveness at his hands. BE lie
said to be as obdurate as granite !! We
may then look out for squalls! When
does the present Postmaster's term ex-
pire? Nominations for the succession
are now in order. May not the extra
ordinary activity of some members OF
the Coalition party, and the recent and
sudden conversion of others to its faith,
indicate that their eyes are open to the
approaching vacancy? No Republicans
need apply. Only Democratic Read
justers of india-rubber f1exibility are
eligible. Xxx

to be one of the rarest of his kind. an
irreproachable darkey. He is a pleas
ant, intelligent-loOking man of good ad
dress, respectful, unobtrusive, and pop
ular with all classes, and was educated
at Oberlih College. Gentlemen here
who oppose him in politics say that he
is an honest, quiet, good citizen, of de-
cided character, and his influence among
the col0red population has been unques-
tionably beneficial and has eleva ted all
within its reach. He is very firm and
decided in his views and is considered
positively incorruptib!e."

Dawson, they will be estopped in the

the whites refuse to put colored men in

JAMES RHODES
OF ALBEMARLE,
THE MURDERER. =
Hanged to am Oak Tree.
PARTICULARS OF THE HANGING !
HIS MOTHER AND BROTHER IN.
NOCENT OF THE CRIME.

We stated last week that Jim Rhodes,
the alleged murderer of the old couple,
John o. Massie and wife, of Albemarle,
who were murdered on the night of the
9TH of last March, had been arrested at
Newport, Cooke county, Tennessee, and
had been brought to Charlottesville,
Va, and confined in Jail. At o'clock
on yesterday (Monday) morning, he
was taken from the Jail and hanged to
an oak tree on the farm of Capt. T. L.
Parish.
For the following particulars, we are
indebted tothe editors of the Charlottes-
vile Chronicle, who kindly furnished
US copy of an Extra" published by
them -
James Rhodes, the alleged murderer
of Mr.. and Mrs. John O.. Massie, was
taken from the Albemarle Jail this
morning, about O'Clock, by party Of
masked men and hung to the limb of an
oak tree on the farm Of Capt. T. La Far
ish, In field on the Free Bridge road,
about half way from the town to the
Bridge. It is said the party consisted
of probably one hundred and fifty men.
They compelled the jailor to give up
the keys, and about fifty Of the party
then went to the Jail, and took the pri-
soner out. Two members of the Month
cello Guard we're on duty as guards in
the Jail yard, but surrendered to the
overwhelming force. The Common.
wealth's Attorney, Capt. Woods, was
aroused, and followed the party, order
ing them to disperse, but was not allow
ed to cross a certain line which was
picketed. We cannot, at this early hour,
get any particulars, or ascertain wheth-
er Rhodes made confession. His body
hung to the limb until about O'Clock,
and many persons went to see it. 1t
was then brought to the Jail. A Coro-
ner's jury was summoned and an in
quest will be held tomorrow morning.
1t is rumored that after arriving on
the ground, Rhodes was immediately
strung up, and that he begged for ten
minutes to pray, promising to make q
confession. He was then lowered and
stated that his mother and brother were
innocent of the crime. The crowd be-
gan to press, however, and he was again
drawn up aud left hanging to the limb
until life was extinct.
