OF the oNtragcs to which the white men of
Virginia. the men whose taxes support the
State. arc subjected by the rapacious gang
who obey Malone, and who. while crying
aloud Tor free vote and a fair count.
were guilty Of crimes at the last election,
which il committed in any Northern
state. world have consigned them to the
,lonitent:u"y. In this city two Of Mahonc'5
registrars he had the whole election ma
chinery OF The State in his stands, from judi
ges down to clerks were arrested, one for
leaving the State to avoid legal process, and
for carrying oil with him or concealing the
registration books, and the other for regis
tering names when there was no body be-
fore him TO answer to such names. And yet
after several postponements, when the time
for their trial ut length arrived, the {. s.
District Attorney, whose duty it was to
prosecute them, but who was the Malone
candidate for Congressman at-large, and to
benefit whom the crimes were committed,
again failed 10 appear, and they were dis
charged, though the proofof their guilt
was direct aud positive. \ few years
ago, When Captain Wise was not per-
sonally Interested. he was keenly alive to
the injurious effects Of the alleged illegal
conduct Of the registrars in Richmond, but
