INFAMY AND SHAME.-Maj.. Gen.
William Malone, late Of the Confeder>
ate army, is just now furnishing an il
lustrati0n Of the depths to which a
trading politician will sometimes fall
His brilliant war record-no matter how
obtained, his many previous utterances,
his declaration In reply to Hill and in
his maiden speech In the United States
Senate, in which he said he was q Con.
federate soldier and had no pardon to
ask Of any one for it, and all the prece-
dents made it impossible for him to re-
tain any self.respecI and yet to vote
against removing the political disabili-
ties still resting on Confederate soldiers.
But his new party friends needed his
vote to sustain their policy of proscrip-
ton and hatred and 80 the ex- Confed-
crate voted in his place az senator from
Virginia against removing the disabili-
ties of his fellow soldiers. We have it
at last that so radical Radical has Ma.
hone become that he will sustain the
stamp of outlaw upon his old fellowesol.
diers at the bidding of his party. even
though it brands infamy upon his own
land Christi0nsburg Messenger.

AUDITOR s. BROWN ALLEN SUING
A PAPER FOR SLANDER.-A dispatch
from Charlottesville to the Richmond

"Capt, John 8. Wise was here Wednes-
day night. He arrived at about 9 o'clock
and went Immediately to the residence
of A. R. Blakey, senior editor of the
Jefersonidn. Mr.. Blakey was not at
home, but one of his sons met Mr.. Wise,
who demanded to know who was the
author of leading editorial in the JET
fersonidn of May II. in which 8. Brown
Allen is severely criticised. Young
Mr.. Blakey informed Mr.. Wise that the
Jefersonian held itself responsible for
any and all articles published by 1t.
Mr.. Wise then called on Judge William
J. Robertson, and it is rumored that he
engaged his services in q suit which is
to be entered against the Jefersoniaas

The TARIFF QUESTIONING. Tuck
er's speech is said to have had a power
full effect even on his opponents and to
have been, perhaps, the greatest effort
OF his life. The truth is, Mr.. Tucker is
more at home and more effective on the
tariff than on any question we have ever
heard him discuss. We have never
heard his arguments against protec.
tive tariff answered anywhere. That it
is wrong on principle in the abstract,
few deny, that it is unjust and Oppres-
sive as policy and In practice, is sus-
ceptible of demonstration. The truth
is, that in the South, in Virginia and
Georgia especially, the advocacy of
protective tariff by Democrats Is gen.
orally pretense-a compromise with
Republicanism, pandering to North
ern prejudice, bid for Northern favor.
In many instances it can be traced to
financial and business connections with
Northern capitalists-in others to bid
for Republican votes. A Southern man
who favors the present protective tariff
as at present laid, must be crank, be.
cause he ia bound to see that the raw
material of his section, at present its
chief wealth, is not protected, while the
manufactures it consumes have bonus
laid on them which we pay. We do not
object to incidental protection, but ev-
cry industry and production should be
given an equal protection. We believe
Mr.. Tucker is right and heads the right
wing of the Democracy and in the end
he will win. Local "flinchings," Sec
tional interests, have disturbed the
solidity of the Democratic party. but
Pennsylvania will, like New York,
come right after awhile.-Lynchuurg

trees.

bringing their tribute of fresh flowers to strew
on the graves of the gallant men who died in
their defence, and in defence of all that they
held dear, Let young men come. that they may
draw the inspiration of Truth and Honor and
Courage that ever exhales from the resting
place of those who have died for the Right.
Let all come, that we may show to the world
that we people of Augusta have not grown
forgetful of the memory, or careless Of the
ashes Of these men that we loved and honored
so twenty years ago.

Faces now married. by the frown Of decay;
Eyes that beam friendship and love to your

Lips that sweet thoughts Of affection made

Brows you have soothed in the day Of distress
Cheeks you have flushed by the tonder caress;
Faces that frightened at Wars stirring cry;
Faces that streamed when they babe you good

Faces that glowed in the battles red flame,
Paling for naught, till the Death Angel came.

Kiss In your hearts these dead heroes Of ours,
And cover them over with beautiful flowers.
Cover the hundreds who sleep far away
Sleep where their friends cannot ind them to-

Rest whore they wearied and lie where they
fell.
