Hon. JOHN i. DEZENDORF, OF the Nor
folk district, is out in letter in which he
shows no favor to the Readiusters and no
sign Of surrendering to General MALONE.
We regret that we haven't room for 1t.
We copy paragraph or two. lie says;
What would have been or would now be
thought OF proposition 10 turn over the
entire patronage Of the State Of New York
10 John Kelly and his 10000 followers be-
cause without him the Republicans are in
the minority i'm the state! How long
would the Republicans OF New York sub
nit 70 such a proceeding?
Now | would like TO have you show me
anywhere within the length and breadth
OF the land a party numbering 10000 that
have shown such en- inordinate greed Tor
Office rs the Democratic Readlusters OF VIZ
einia. All the prominent men OF that party,
from General Malone down, have taken
care 10 slide into good office, and they
have done it by and through Republican
yotes-those that have been elccted-and
the balance OF the 1000 now out are seek
ing appointments, "waiting Tor crumbs
that fall from the masters table" The less
said about "the otiicc-holders' party" the
better.
First. | never supported the Coalition
one moment, and everybody in the state

ceipt Of letters from al sections Of the
State asking for conference Of RepUbb-
cans 10 take the present status OF affairs
into consideration, and That these expires"
sions come from those who have hereto
fore favored coalition, as well rs those who
were opposed TO it. That there is a wide

authorized and significant shape, ana IN
strength sufficient TO command respect.

Der OF Congress, elected as such, and acts
as such on all occasions. Is he not an Adj

cans among them.
The question rs 10 the future status OF
Senators Malone aud Riddleberger is,
suppose, settled. They will act with the
Republican party. suppose they do 4. Is
the Republican party Of Virginia and the
country TO be put in their keeping: Must
all the Republicans sneeZe every time they
take SNUFF, or will the Republican party OF
the country be true TO itself and treat Sen.
ators Malone and Riddeberger as they do
other Republican senators-no better and
no worsey For myself, concede 10 them
all the rights and privileges that belong TO
their statlon-no more and no less.
